Carlie did a great job with both my big and little dogs! She came over for a meet and greet - and they instantly took to her. She was on time, followed directions, and was very friendly! Highly recommend!

This was the second time Melissa and Jordan took care of my cats while I was out of town, and they were just as fantastic as I remember! The cats were well taken care of and got plenty of play time, and Melissa and Jordan were responsive and sent new pictures each visit. My apartment was also in great order when I returned. I'll definitely book again :)

About: I’m a recently retired teacher/administrator with some time. I am very active, and I’ve taken care of my dogs and cats my whole life. I have had five collies over the last 35 years and two cats. I also grew up with a German Shepherd. I am recently retired, so I am pretty flexible to arrange care any day of the week, with some notice. I do prefer some notice to be organized with my calendar. I don’t currently care for other pets in my home, but am happy to walk and play with pets in others’ homes. I have always had mid-sized to larger dogs, and are comfortable around them.

About: I have been obsessed with dogs all my life but I love and care about all animals. When I was a kid I used to go to my neighbors and ask them to take their dog out for a walk just because I loved it so much. I grew up with pets - from a cat, to hamsters, to a dog. Until recently, I lived with a roommate with two pit bulls. I used to care for them every time she was out - I fed them, took them out and walked them as well. We loved each other so much that they would come to my room to chill with me even when she was home!! In 2023 I adopted a dog myself (the sweetest pit bull) and I currently live with my boyfriend, who has a cat that I take care of on the daily. I am currently working full time. I work Monday - Friday from 8:30am to 5:00 pm so I am available every other time! I am available all day Saturdays and Sundays. Unfortunately, I don’t offer house-sitting services at the moment. However, I am available for drop-ins or walks and can go anywhere in the Newark/Snow Hill/Berlin area (if you live further you can still reach out to me and I may be able to do it depending on my schedule). I can feed your baby, take them for a walk or even just keep them company! I follow the owner's instructions to a T. I’m always punctual, and I write my report cards the way I’d want to receive one—full of details and lots of pictures!!

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.

About: Over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, cats and small animals in clients' homes. I am a Wicomico county public school teacher this proving a clean background as well as a patient and caring demeanor. I cared for my own diabetic cat for 2 years so insulin administration would be no problem. Due to some unforseen life changes I have a new situation and temporary schedule. For December I have full availability for walks and drop-ins M-F. I have most weekends free but need bring my 2 children with me. They are 8 and 10 years old and adore dogs. ♥️ I am happy to do a meet and greet prior to a booking if you have a child friendly fur baby and interest in working with me. We also have a fenced in back yard you could drop off to. 🐾🐶🐕🐕‍🦺😁 I will care for the animals as you direct me to. I am happy to take dogs in my vehicle for outings to dog parks or other events. I have a fenced in yard at my own home but have 2 guinea pigs and a cat so visits to my home would be dependent on tolerance to other pets and my 2 children who reside with me full time.

About: We always had a family dog growing up, so I’ve been training, bathing, feeding and walking for as long as I can remember! I’ve taken daytime and overnight care of newborn pups to elderly dogs, as well as many cats, mostly belonging to friends (and friends of friends), so I’m excited to join Rover and help your pet get the love and care they deserve! I am currently working a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of opportunity to find a time that works to take care of your pet! I have my own transportation and a flexible schedule, so I am perfectly comfortable popping by to take care of your pet. I don’t have any dependents, so if overnight stays are what you need, I am happy to do that too! I keep a tidy house and tidy pet :)

About: I love all kinds of dogs! I have my own 2 year old puppy Scooby. He is a Lab Great Dane mix, I call him the gentle giant. He is also super hyper so I can handle high energy dogs! I also have a 2 year old puppy Damsel she's a Bolonka (very small breed similar to a shih tzu). I had a dog growing up who was blind and have diabetes so I am able to assist in giving medicine to your pup if they need it. I love taking long walks on trails or around the neighborhood and giving the dogs enrichment toys that tire them out. I Can't wait to meet your pup!! I am currently available any day or time to walk your dog or stop in to play. I am currently in between jobs and looking for something fun to do in the meantime! I normally take my dog on 2 short walks and one long walk a day. Occasionally we go to the dog park. I can take your pup on a nice walk, short or long, or to the dog park if there is one near by!

About: I can give any medications. I can walk any and every type of dog. Senior dog care. I used to breed boxers and chihuahuas & My doodle and rottie accidentally had a litter so I raised them as well. I have had over 20 breeds of dogs with extra research in many other breeds. I have been through plenty of pet training course. I have had every pet you can think of so if you have inquiries about that, please reach out. I currently just moved here from Maryland so I’m just trying to get on my feet and see what’s around. I have so much free time so why not help. I have 2 pups of my own and I’ve had them since they were only weeks old. They are my pride and joy so I take them mostly everywhere with me but I live with my sister so she loves to care for them when I’m away.

I was so lucky to find Alyssa! She’s extremely reliable and very thorough in her care of my cat. He warmed up to her immediately and usually he’s very shy. She’s very intuitive and gentle with him and ensures his food and water are replenished and his litter is clean. I highly recommend her services and look forward to working with her again!

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!!

If I could leave 10 stars I would. This was my 1st time using a service to check on my cats. I will definitely be using Jenna again and I highly recommend her. First of all, she responded to my inquiry for services within 3 minutes of requesting. And it was for Christmas eve and Christmas day and last minute. She also sent messages before and after each visit and photos. A great experience!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Ocean City

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Ocean City on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 456 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ocean City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Ocean City stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ocean City. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.

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.
