About: I take care of your pets the way you want without you worrying. My aim is to make your fur baby feel relaxed and happy while waiting for you to return home. I enjoy meeting new clients and hope to gain your family’s trust and establish a longstanding sitting relationship that you and I can be comfortable with. Dog and cat sitting is what I do most often but I take care of a variety of pets to include birds, reptiles, hampsters and the like. I have dogs and birds myself and have had a multitude of other pets though out the years. If you have medications for your beloved pets I will administer them per your instructions. Please let me know how I maybe of assistance to you when you need a sitter!

About: Hi there, I’m Kirsten and go by KP! During the week, I would be able to check-in on your furry friends before and after work and during my lunch break. I am available to travel if needed and have a flexible schedule! I have grown up with at least 3 dogs in our home at all times. I’m a lover of animals and have been house/pet sitting for over 15 years now (not including high school and college). I’m very flexible and cater to the needs of your pet and household. I understand that pets can get stressed when their owners are away. Patience is a strength of mine, and I love to be outside to play with the animals! I’ve watched dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, breeds, and health needs, and ensure that each pet gets the love and care they deserve while their owners are away. I will imitate their daily schedule so that they are continuously comfortable. I work full time, Monday-Friday (8-4:30) and would be available for walks and drop-ins before and after work, as well as during my lunch hour. As for pet sitting, I am available for any length of time, but would still be popping in during work days during my lunch hour! I aim to make sure that your pets’ day-to-day routine remains as normal as possible. I will change my schedule to work around your pet’s needs, whether that is a scheduled medicine dose or a long walk during lunch.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a young teenager. They give unconditional love and are so happy that they make you happy. I have two of my own and would have more if I could. I regularly run with them, play ball, play tug of war and even swim with them in the ocean when I can make it there. I give baths and clip nails. I am very good at continuing training with dogs with simple commands like "stay", "wait", "sit", "lay" And i also train using hand gestures. Dogs are a huge part of my life and i don't know know I would do without mine. So let me continue my journey on giving dogs the best life they can get. Let me love your doggies too!!

About: I have taken care of animals of all kinds for my whole life living on our 50 acre family farm. We have horses, pigs, cows, dogs, cats, reptiles and fish! I take care of all of them and provide them with a loving and enriched environment. I can’t wait to meet your best friends, or have them for a visit! Pet care is my greatest passion and second job at home. I spend my mornings out in the fields with my horses and cows pitching hay, mucking stalls, and cuddling in the grass. I spend my evenings snuggled up with my 3 hound dogs on couch or landscaping my reptile and fish tanks for fun. I am open to the needs of all pets as I know people do things in their own way. I will carefully follow the instructions left by the client.

About: I have volunteered in the past with a rescue shelter and I loved walking and playing with the dogs. Since we are a virtual school family, my schedule is pretty open and flexible so your pet will get lots of attention and cuddles. I have cared for cats and fish most of my life. I am comfortable with grooming, providing special diets, giving oral medication and inhalers. If boarding, your dog must be gentle and friendly with kids and cats. I have a 4th grader and we recently adopted a kitten. They must be comfortable in an apartment setting with a busy hallway where barking is frowned upon. Cuties who like to be guard dogs might not enjoy staying here if frequent noise is activating. We are usually home most days due to virtual schooling, but occasionally have short outings and field trips. We continue to use pretty strict Covid precautions, like always wearing high-quality masks and running hepa air purifiers. I ask that my clients are respectful of this. I am very flexible and encourage last minute cancellations if any symptoms of illness pop up. Likewise, if we have symptoms or test positive for Covid/flu I will cancel the booking. Luckily, I have only had to do this two times in so many years and will always issue a full refund. We live in a very pet friendly area and are close to great dog parks. Our neighborhood is full of green spaces and sidewalks and the Rock Creek Park trail is directly behind our apartment. We will care for your dog like it is our own. I love taking photos and will send as many as you’d like and will provide updates and check-ins as often as preferred.

About: My name is Carla, I have over four years of pet care experience (working in pet stores, vet clinic's, and volunteering for local shelters. I also am mom to 3 fur babies of my own: My senior dog Dino, my rescue Darla, and my youngest daughter Appa. I have a genuine love for animals and will ensure that your pet receives the love and care they deserve. I will walk, feed, and play with your pet to help you give them the extra care they need while you work or take that vacation. I enjoy being active especially with animals so long walks are a favorite past time of mine even during the cold weather months. I look forward to working with you and loving your pets! Thank you for your time! Carla C. I work from home during the week and have the weekends free! I have plenty of time to drop-in and walk your pets if needed. My dogs are crated during the day while I work. Darla gets 3-4 bathroom breaks, while Appa is still being house broken. As far as my client’s home, all I need to know is what their routine is and I go from there.

About: I grew up with dogs & cats. Additionally, I have dog/cat/house sat many times for multiple people over the past few years. I am very trustworthy and follow the rules of the owner to a T. I love animals and am looking for a way to make money for college while I help make owners lives easier while taking great care of their furry family members! I live at OCMD during the summers to save money. I can walk/ take care of animals any time after 3pm everyday. Additionally, I am typically off Tuesdays and Thursdays to be able to help as well. Simply, how I take care of animals varys from person to person, however there are basic needs animals have that I follow. Some of these are attention(I give a lot), walks, etc. Other then that I follow exact rules owners give me from food time, to amount, to how many walks a day.

FAQs for House Sitting - Ocean City

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Ocean City on Rover is $40.93 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 259 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ocean City. 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 Ocean City 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 Ocean City 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 Ocean City 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 Ocean City. On Rover:

  • 92% 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.
