“Yasmine did a great job taking care of my dogs. She got them out frequently for walks and was excellent about sending daily updates. We had unexpected travel delays and she was very accommodating to stay longer until we got back. We returned home to happy dogs and a clean house. I will definitely reach out again for future pet sitting/housesitting needs.”

About: I grew up with a Weimaraner who was our family dog for years. Two years ago, I rescued a puppy from a shelter in South Carolina and trained her myself — she's now energetic, well-behaved, and a total sweetheart, so I know what it takes to work with young, high-energy dogs. We also have two rescue cats at home, one of whom needed to be bottle-fed as a kitten, so I'm comfortable with more delicate or high-needs care too. I've been around dogs and cats my whole life, at every stage — puppies, seniors, and everything in between — and I treat every pet like it's my own. I work remotely, so I'm home most of the day, which means feeding, walks, and check-ins happen on a consistent schedule rather than being squeezed in around a commute or office hours. If a pet needs a midday walk, a bathroom break, or just some company, I'm already there for it. I'm also an active person by nature — I played soccer for years and still love running and being outdoors — so walks and playtime are things I genuinely enjoy, not just tasks to check off. I'm naturally attentive too — I notice when something feels off with a pet, whether it's energy level, appetite, or mood, and I'd rather over-communicate with an owner than assume everything's fine. In my home (boarding): Pets have full run of a comfortable, pet-proofed space — not crated or confined all day. I stick close to their normal routine (same feeding times, walk schedule, etc.) so the transition feels as seamless as possible, and I send photo/video updates throughout their stay so you always know how they're doing. In your home (house sitting): I follow your exact routine — feeding times, walk schedules, medications, and any specific instructions you leave. I treat the house like I would my own: pets stay comfortable in their own space, mail and packages get brought in, and I keep you updated with regular check-ins. Drop-ins & walks: I show up on time and give pets my full attention for the visit — no rushing through it. That means real walks (not just a quick lap), fresh water, playtime, and a few extra minutes of company if they want it. I always send a summary and photos after each visit so you know exactly how things went.
“Remi was amazing! Our little guy is super anxious and almost never feels comfortable with strangers. But she got him comfy immediately. She was wonderful with our dog! Your pup would be in good hands with her!”

About: Hey! My name is Breanna but I prefer to go by my middle name Sky! I’ve had at least 14 years of experience taking care of puppies, senior dogs and giving medicine etc! My mom has fostered lots of dogs within the past 14 years and so that’s left me with lots of experience! I love puppies and senior doggies and will give them all the love and pets and ensure they are in good hands! I am currently job searching so I am available anytime! ❤️ If you choose me I will 1000% will give them all the love and boops on the nose! I can accommodate to anything and work with anything right now! Currently I am not able to have any of your fur babies in my home but in the future this can be considered possibly! I do have a fenced in yard

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 kinds of dogs of all ages! I believe that animals are kinder than people and deserve the world. My parents own a Rottweiler mix and a Boxer mix, and my sister owns a Pitbull mix, so I am comfortable and familiar with the bully breeds. I am very active myself and love when I have a dog to accompany me on my own walks and daily activities (within the limits of the dog of course). I currently work part time in a restaurant, but I have plenty of time in my schedule to care for some animals! With enough notice, I am able to house sit, or have your dog stay at my house! My schedule is highly flexible for longer visits, or even just a short walk in the middle of your work day to give your pet a break. My home is quite large and has no hazards to any animal. If your pet was to stay with me, I have experience with dogs who are crate trained, but do not have a crate of my own, since my dogs are at my parents house. I also live with 3 animal loving roommates, so your dog would never be alone. I have a small front yard for quick trips to the bathroom, but live in a highly walkable area with dog parks and bigger greenspaces within walking distance for your pets pleasure. I love playing tug of war, or fetch with any puppy, and giving constant attention when I am caring for pets.
About: I have 5 huskies ages 9,7,5,3 and 1. Highly intelligent with the energy to match in which we walk/run 2-5 miles each day then we end it with a treat. Im working full time with availability to walk your pups everyday after 430. A walk a day keeps the stress away for the animal and myself I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space to run, play and dig to bury something if wanted. Leash will wrap around waist for extra protection and stability.
About: I've been watching animals in the neighborhood since I was a child, and have continued to pet sit in my adult life. I love caring for animals and look forward to taking care of yours! I'm a substitute teacher so my schedule is always flexible, especially during holidays and summer break. I can schedule around your pet's needs, so don't hesitate to ask. Please let me know if your animal has any specific needs. I am happy to accommodate for any treatment they would typically receive at home.
About: I had a dog who was disabled for the last 10 years, he fell down our steps and broke his back twice. I took care of him everyday. I work only 5 hour shifts at the Captains Table in Ocean City, Md. Day shifts and night shifts. I can take care of your pets throughout and or in between those times. When I had my dog I walked my dog 30 minutes a day, fed & played with my dog cooper all day long if allowed. I’m getting another dog soon in the next month or so.
“Christine was a great pet sitter for our dog and 3 cats. We were away for 6 days and she kept us updated with texts and pictures which was greatly appreciated. We would definitely use her again to watch our babies.”


“Jacqueline and her son were fantastic. They took excellent care of our two high-energy dogs and sent daily updates with pictures. They even cleaned up the apartment before we returned, which was a wonderful sight to see when we got home. Thank you both for such excellent service!”

About: Hi there! I love dogs and I have one very well trained pup of my own. Because of this, I am very understanding of any special requests you may have: training, timing, attention, etc. my rates are deeply discounted as I am a traveling house sitter. I love traveling to locations with a lot of outdoor activities and hiking and can make sure to keep your pup active! I work remote and am able to attend to your pup in the middle of the day and give more attention at the end of the work day. Daily routine would consist of a run in the morning, walk at noon, a long hike after 5. Dogs can be very selective with strangers. It’s important to not enter their bubble unless if they welcome you. To make sure they feel safe, I make sure to only approach them when they are facing me and make note of their “safe area” where they may go without being disturbed.
About: Ive been taking care of little to small pups ever since a little girl. Our family has had breeds anywhere from chihuahuas to lab to boxer. Im looking forward to meeting new pups, as well as giving them the exercise and cuddles they need or desire. If you have any specific questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out anytime! I love puppies, so anytime is puppy time. But, I'm currently available only early mornings, mid day and evenings. I do have a child at home so that will have to be taken into consideration. I work a 8-4 schedule, but I am free to leave if I absolutely need to. I can definitely do grooming. Your pet will be fed based on owners normal schedule. Dogs can be let out ever 2-6 hours depending on availability. Any rule you apply for your pet to adhere to, I will delegate that.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Ocean City on Rover is $40.93 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 244 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.
