“This was our first time working with Ashley and it was easy and stress free! She came for a meet and greet and a followup before our first visit which was helpful for me to show everything. I received a ton of pictures and I could tell our large, rambunctious pups were happy!! We will definitely work with Ashley again!”

About: Hi! I’m Ashley and I would love to care for your pets. I work as a bather at petsmart so I am always handling dogs of all sizes, breeds and temperaments. I view all animals as a part of the family and I love hearing a good rescue story! I have many years experience in rabbit rescue. I also used to work as a kennel technician years ago. I have 3 dogs, 2 rabbits, 3 ducks and a lizard. So I am comfortable caring for any animal including most exotics. I can also do nail trims for rabbits and any dogs who are tolerable of it. I currently work part time at petsmart, so i have a lot of spare time for walks and drop ins to care for your fur baby! (Or scaley/feathered baby) I believe that the safety of animals always comes first. I volunteered in rabbit rescue for several years and animal welfare is very important to me. I see my pets as my babies and fully understand the legitimacy of our pets being valued family members.

“Jen is a member of our fam now. Since we moved to the Jersey shore I have not let anyone else watch the fur babies. She’s so sweet and loving. She treats them so well and sends the best updates and pics. If she couldn’t watch them if we had to go somewhere, we honestly wouldn’t go.”

Even our very shy cat came out to see her on day one this time (and this was only the second time we’ve had the pleasure of booking Brianna), proving Brianna’s clear awesomeness. She is also great with all the details, allowing us total peace of mind to enjoy our vacation. Thank you so, so much, Brianna!!!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have always been a dog lover. As well, I have worked at a dog kennel where I was in charge of feeding all of the dogs and letting them out to go the bathroom. The dogs ranged in ages from puppies all the way up to senior dogs which needed assistance in getting up to start walking. There is no dog too young or too old for me. I will embrace and love your best friend like they are my own! We will go for walks and play every night to make sure your best friends does not miss you too much! If you have any questions, please don’t be afraid to ask. Let’s have a barking good time together!

If you are looking for someone to care for your pets look no further. We highly recommend Daniel!”

This was the first time we used Rover, and the first time we left our dog in our home while we were away - and we were lucky to have found Ashley! They hit it off in their first meeting, and at that point we knew Gunner would be ok! Ashley exceeded our expectations, and we hope that the next time we need a sitter, that Ashley is available!

Chris was absolutely wonderful! He arrived on time for every appointment and stayed a bit longer than required. Our dog is older and required Chris to occasionally clean up some “potty pad issues”. Chris was even kind enough to take our trash can out on collection day and brought some deliveries in for us. We would him and Linda again in a heartbeat as he was great for our needs! Thanks so much Chris and Linda…your the best!!!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Ocean Acres

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
