“You can tell Margit and Bill truly love dogs! My Daisy fit right in with their fur babies and made her self at home. When I picked her up she was super happy. I will definitely be using Margit on a regular basis :-)”
About: I know from experience what a challenge it is to find loving care for a family pet while you are away. I’m happy to provide that peace of mind for you. I’m currently retired and looking forward to filling my days with new animal friends, while getting a little exercise and helping my neighbors with their pet care needs. I currently have a beautiful black cat who likes to be queen of the castle so I’m happy to care for your pets in your home.
About: I cat and dog sit for my family members regularly. I have cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds. I’ve been riding horses since I was 10 and started working on the farm when I was 12. I am available wherever, whenever. Whenever you need me there, I’ll be there. I will figure out a way for your animal to have top tier care. I would care for my clients home just as I would care for mine. I would never want anyone to disrespect my home therefore I would never disrespect anyone else’s.
“I’m so thankful to have found Joanna! She was so kind and accommodating to our schedule, and gave our dog so much love and care. She even walked him just before I picked him up and made sure he was completely ready to go. Would definitely go out of my way to have Tico stay with her again, thank you Joanna!”
“Bella loved her stay and playing with John' pup Maddie. John was awesome! Bella took right to him and he was very attentive to Bella's needs. Bella is older and suffers from kidney disease but that did not deter John. I definitely recommend John and will be using his services in the future.”
“I am in town trying to relocate and my dog Kona started having anxiety when I left. Since I am staying at my sisters condo I couldn't leave her howling. Irene quickly answered my request and took great care of Kona. She sent me pictures throughout the day of Kona just chilling. I am very happy and will use her again.”
About: Growing up in a home filled with the joyful barks of dogs and the gentle chirps of a parakeet, my love for animals started early. For over a decade, I've been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family, caring for everything from playful pups and curious cats to turtles and farm animals. My passion doesn't stop at basic care—I'm an adventurer at heart and love taking dogs on outdoor escapades. Whether it's a leisurely walk through the park or a thrilling hike in the hills, I'm here to ensure your furry friend gets the exercise and excitement they crave (couch potatoes welcome too) and treat them like family. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I work remotely with only an occasional in-office day (about once a quarter), so I’m home most of the day. I only leave briefly for the gym or occasional errands, allowing me to provide plenty of supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. I treat every pet like family and follow their normal routine as closely as possible. Since I work from home, dogs get plenty of supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I have a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor time and provide regular photo updates for owners. My friendly, fully vaccinated dog enjoys having canine visitors, and introductions are always done safely.
“Amanda was an excellent fit for watching our girl for the day! Our pup is energetic and needs attention and Amanda did a great job keeping her busy and keeping us updated with pictures and messages. I highly recommend her if your in the OC area.”
About: I have always had pets in life (dogs, cats, rabbit, hamsters, fish) and even adopted a dog to live with me when I was in college. The majority of my experience is with dogs and it spans all sizes and breads (from an 8-pound Maltese to a 70+ pound American Staffordshire Terrier). Over the last few years, I have worked with several animal shelters and opened my house to foster pets in need. During this time I have worked to train puppies and taken care of pets that required special attention due to illnesses. I have recently retired and now have plenty of time to live the dream of caring for and playing all day with your fur children. I live on a pet friendly street (cul-de-sac) and my house is properly secure to keep pets safe (gates, crates if needed) and happily engaged in activities.
“Jenna is amazing! She was so accommodating with our early drop off time, and our pup had a blast! You know it was a good day when he comes home and snoozes the rest of the evening :)”
“Jill has been absolutely wonderful with my dog! She truly loves him like her own, which gives me so much peace of mind. Throughout the day, she sends lots of updates and messages, so I always know how he’s doing and can see how happy he is. When he gets home, he’s exhausted from all the fun and attention he’s had. She even sends special treats home, which is such a thoughtful touch. I highly recommend Jill for anyone looking for caring and reliable doggy day care!”
“From the moment I met Colleen, I knew she would be a great pet sitter because my dogs immediately loved her!! I have a 2 year old Bernedoodle and 5 year old Bernise Mountain dog and Colleen welcomed them into her home like they were old friends! We happened to run into her while on a walk after we met and my dogs were so excited to see her. That told me everything I needed to know! I am one of those pet parents that is hesitant to leave my dogs with other people, but I feel so blessed to have found Colleen. I know I have found a true pet lover to watch my dogs if I must be away, and that gives me true peace of mind!!”
“Neena responded right away and was available and gracious in regard to my last minute request! Neena was great at communicating and Daisy was happy and well cared for upon pick up! Would definitely book here again!”

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Ocean City commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MD ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 111 sitters in Ocean City, 94% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
