“Marlena was the BEST. We had a family wedding in town with a busy schedule. We squeezed a meet and greet in beforehand & was updated with texts and photos throughout the sitting. Our Aussie is a little particular to new people & took right to her. Made our Sons wedding more enjoyable knowing our dog was in good hands. I can’t recommend her enough. Thank you!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs around my neighborhood for my whole life, and I have two dogs of my own that I help take care of. I love dogs and have always enjoyed helping take care of them. I am currently living in Cape May, but I am available every week day to walk/ sit or take care of your dog. I am available Monday - Friday. I have a safe environment in my home with two other dogs. A fenced in yard with rocks in the back. I could host dogs in my home but I believe it would be better for me to come to the client.
“Kate stayed with our 3 girls for 4 nights. It was so nice to have the comfort of her care of them while we were away. We received multiple daily pictures to ease our hearts. Thanks so much again”
About: I have always grown up with dogs. I’ve helped train my own and have been relied on to watch neighbors’ and friends’ over the years as well! I worked for a dog walking company for over a year. I am a graduating college student with a good bit of free time most days and will be free for most the summer to care for your pets. I will play, pet, and walk with your dogs as needed, and enjoy every second of it. If needed to be in a crate i will place a toy with them and provide a treat if allowed.
“Katie was great with our two big dogs! She took great care of them and the dogs were relaxed once we got home which told me they were in great hands. She was on time, took them on walks, and stayed with them until we got home. Katie is a lovely woman and I will trust her with them again in the future!”
About: I have taken care of family pets since I was little! I have taken care of cats and dogs. I have also volunteered in animal shelters! I am a teacher who is off for the summer! I have plenty of time to take care of your sweet pets! Overnight stays, walks, check ins I prioritize your pet's safety and comfort within their own home. I'll ensure all doors and windows are secure, and I'm mindful of any potential hazards. My visits will be scheduled to provide consistent companionship and avoid leaving your pet alone for extended periods. I'm happy to follow any specific security routines you have in place.
About: I have had animals for as long as I can remember! From lovebirds and bunnies to crazy cats and 150 lb dogs! I have fostered dogs through the SPCA, training a puppy to prepare for a family and caring for an old man who needed some extra love. I have my own cat, and have since I was 17! There is nothing I know or do better than care for animals! I have off all mornings! I am down the shore for the summer, having to leave my animals behind, and am in desperate need of some animal loving! I plan to be extremely respectful of the home and animals space. I would follow any and all instructions to a T and try and make the place look better than when I arrived!
About: Growing up, it seemed every friend, cousin and neighbor I had had some form of fury friend to love, but I was never allowed to have my own. So, I am used to and love taking care of others’ fury friends! It’s like being a grand mom- you get to play and have fun with them (while being responsible of course) and then give them back. I enjoy being outside, so your friend will always get a nice, long walk with me! I also have experience volunteering at an animal shelter, though I was mostly taking care of the cats. I set my own schedule for work so I am very flexible and available. I will schedule my days around taking care of your friend I will make sure your friend is comfortable and given plenty of pets, food and water. Walks are never short (unless need be) and play time never ends
“Dee was wonderful with the pups. Annie is sometimes shy and reserved within five minutes. She was cuddling with Dee on the couch. The three dogs were so tired. They slept the rest of the day and didn’t want to get up the next morning! lol.”
About: Hi! I’m a Freshmen at the u of a! I volunteer at the animal shelter! I love dogs so much I have 2 golden doodles! I am looking for something fun that I can do to save up for college! I am very flexible! I can do Monday- Sunday! I do waitress but those hours change each week! But I’m sure I can figure out good times either way! I have two golden doodles at home. One mini and one full size. They are super sweet and I love them so much! I’ve had labs before the doodles so I know how to handle a bigger and hyper dog also!
“Bridget was fantastic! She was always very responsive and kept us updated with the cats throughout our trip. She also gave us the sense that she really cared for our cats well being and gave them lots of attention.”
“Mary watched Coco for the first time and was great at communicating with us and sent us pictures. It was a relief to us to know she was well taken care of in her own home. We will definitely use Mary again!”
“Victoria arrived promptly and gave us continuous updates and pictures during her sit with Dexter. We would highly recommend Victoria to any other pet parents. We have already booked her for another visit!”
About: I have had my first dog since I was eleven years old, and I have had my second dog for two years. Since I have had experience with taking care of pets for so long, I am confident in my dog walking and sitting abilities. I also have experience with both smaller and bigger dogs with different energy levels because my older dog is a yorkie and my second dog is a Siberian Husky that my family rescued. Therefore, I understand the difference in pet personalities and how to handle them. I am currently employed, however, I am still available during most weekdays and weekends for dog/cat sitting and dog walking during the day and at night. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect as I would want for my own. I am sure to give every pet attention, exercise, and adhere to the pet's usual routine.
“Kristina has been an absolutely phenomenal pet sitter for Bear and Luna. From the very start, she was incredibly communicative, thoughtful, and attentive — which made all the difference in giving us true peace of mind while we were away. She handled everything with such calm competence, even when unexpected little house quirks popped up (like a door that decided not to lock properly) or when one mischievous pup decided that stealing toilet paper was the highlight of the day. Kristina adjusted seamlessly to each situation, keeping us informed and resolving things with a level-headed, proactive approach. I loved receiving her messages and photos. It meant so much to see Bear and Luna happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Her updates were detailed and reassuring — you could genuinely feel how much she cared about them. It’s not easy to leave your home and your furry children in someone else’s care, but with Kristina, we truly felt they were in the very best hands. We are so grateful for her warmth, reliability, and professionalism, and we wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend her and will be reaching out to her with hopes that she will care for our pets again!”
“Meghan was super flexible and provided great updates and photos. She was absolutely wonderful with my pup who takes a bit to warm up to new people. Kiki loved her and we will definitely book again!”
About: Hi! My name is Viv! I am 21 years old and from Delaware. I just graduated from James Madison University where I earned my BA degree in International Affairs Pre-Law. I am currently just looking for work! I grew up with my cavachon, who is now 14 years old but she will always be my baby! Through watching her grow old, I have learned how to take care of and nurture elderly dogs. My family also got a puppy this past year, a cavalier King Charles Spaniel who is currently a year and 4 months. She has taught me how to have the patience and commitment when training, walking, feeding, and all around taking care of, a new puppy. I truly love all dogs and cats and basically all animals so much and believe I would be a great help! I have been doing this for awhile now and have tons of references if needed and I am so excited to connect!! Please feel free to reach out whenever, I have a pretty open schedule semester! I am currently a student at JMU who loves dogs and I miss my own so much while at school! So I'm looking to dog sit/walk dogs part-time while searching for full-time roles. My schedule is very flexible - I have a large amount of time during my day to help out with your dogs! So please reach out! I will care for your pet with the most respect and make them my first priority. I will also make sure to follow the exact instructions as you give them to me.

FAQs for House Sitting - North Cape May
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in North Cape May on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 298 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across North Cape May. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred North Cape May walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in North Cape May maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in North Cape May choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in North Cape May. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
