About: I’ve cared for dogs of different sizes and personalities for friends, family, and neighbors over the years. I’m reliable, patient, and love making pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m a grad student who’s fully remote so I am lucky to have a flexible schedule and fit to your time needs and schedules! I pride myself on my ability to adapt to other’s schedules and be flexible. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I create a calm, clean, and loving environment where pets can feel secure, relaxed, and cared for like they’re at home.
“Tyler was wonderful with my dogs. He made me feel very comfortable by sending me great shots of the pups and by being super communicative. My dogs were very happy when I got home. Thank you Tyler!!”
About: I'm an animal lover and dependable pet sitter providing caring, personalized attention for dos and cats. Whether it's walks, playtime, feedings or drop-ins, I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, happy and loved while you're away. I have great flexibility with my full-time job and can do drop-ins or walks as needed weekdays and weekends. Many working parents utilize my flexibility for a lunch time walk to break up the pet's day or anytime some fresh air and exercise is needed. I cater to what is best for the furry client and pet owner. I can do backyard play with the pet if the owner prefers that, or indoor time as well. Sometimes senior dogs just need some petting or fresh air while other dogs want to chase a ball and play fetch.
“Maria was AMAZING! My two kitty cats warmed up to her instantly which, if you have a cat, that says A LOT about how warm and inviting her energy is. I’m just traveling in this area so I’m not local but if I was… I would definitely be hiring Maria every time to take care of my babies. Thank you again!”

About: *** I am available to book clients in the area surrounding Ocean City, NJ*** What truly sets me apart from other sitters is my experience, genuine passion for animals, and skills that cater to both ends of the age spectrum. Puppy Care: As a seasoned sitter, I possess a unique skill set in puppy training. I understand the importance of early socialization, positive reinforcement, and consistent routines. Senior Care: On the other end of the spectrum, I am well-versed in providing dedicated care for senior pets. I recognize the unique needs of older animals, including mobility challenges, joint care, and age-appropriate exercise. I currently work part-time, so I will have plenty of time to play and care for your pets. I can readily adjust my schedule to the needs of you and your pets. Caring for the pets in your home is a responsibility I take very seriously! Every pet is unique, and I recognize that.

Whether it's administering oral medication, applying topical treatments, or managing injections, your pet's health is my top priority.

Communication: Regular updates are crucial to ease your mind while you're away. I'll provide you with timely messages, photos, and even videos of your pet, so you can stay connected and see that they're in good hands. Emergency Preparedness: While I hope it never happens, I am prepared for emergencies. I'll have your contact information, your veterinarian's details, and a plan in place to address any unexpected situations that may arise. Safety and Security: I'll ensure that your home is secure during my visits. Doors and windows will be properly closed and locked. If necessary, I'll also bring in mail, adjust curtains, and perform other tasks to give the appearance that your home is occupied. Initial Consultation: Before the pet-sitting period begins, I'll meet with you and your pet (in person or virtually) to discuss your pet's routine, medical needs, and any specific requirements they may have. Ultimately, I treat your pet as if they were my own, offering the same love, care, and attention I would want for my furry companions. Your pet's happiness, safety, and well-being are my primary concerns throughout my time caring for them in your home.

I personally have 3 pups and 2 cats of my own, the oldest being 13, and the youngest 5. I have had all my pets since they were babies and have been able to provide them a loving home.

About: For the past 10 years, I've cared for my own pets as well as friends' dogs, gaining hands-on experience across a wide range of needs. I'm comfortable with senior dogs, administering medication, and managing high-energy puppies, along with dogs of every size. I treat every pet with the same patience and attention I'd give my own! I am currently taking a summer course at Stockton University, so my availability is quite open! I will be traveling often between Galloway and Atlantic City with reliable transport! I have both a dog and a cat of my own, so I'm comfortable with both species' needs and routines.

About: I have had cats and dogs growing up and have watched my neighbors pets throughout the years as well. I love animals with all different personalities I currently work remotely so I think this is a perfect opportunity to be occupied by a pet in need of care. I have more time on my hands while I’m working from home and love to spend time my pets as much as I can. I have a fenced in yard and a perfect neighborhood to bring animals on walks and/or simply play in the yard. I have 2 cats who are very friendly (one with many dog traits!) and get along well with other animals.
“Sally was so great with our corgi puppy Finn. She was always quick to answer, extremely reliable, and competent. I’ve never had someone walk him before so I was very nervous, but she gave Finn so much love, treats, and even a new toy! Above and beyond! Thank you so much Sally!!”
About: Been around animals all my life, they care and love i have and the joy it brings is out of this world. Also as i help care for my grandmom and she has had pets growing up. I know it will bring her joy and will take up her time as she sits in the house, if we dont go out for the day. As i work on the week days, i am availble (if nothing pops up) on the weekends, like a friday night untill sunday night if that will work for anybody. And also i do work in the school system so having weeks off for or a couple days off can change my schedule but for now, weekends are best. If pets need care i am here to learn and help, i do offer a yard (sadly is not fenced) but if on a leash your pet will be taken very care of and we be shown love and care.

“Andrew cared for our 7 cats for 8 days, two visits daily, and did a great job. He had to clean five litter boxes, change five water bowls and a fountain, feed different diets and even give medication twice daily for one of the cats. He sent us photos, communicated as needed and kept up with keeping the boxes refilled and sweeping up excess litter. He brought in mail and packages too! Will definitely book with Andrew again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ocean City
We had an absolutely AMAZING experience with Deborah (Debbie) as our dog sitter! She took such incredible care of our dog, Hoops, and we truly could not have asked for a better person to trust while we were away. From day one, she was professional, reliable, and so thoughtful. She consistently left detailed notes and sent plenty of photos, which completely put our minds at ease and made us feel connected to Hoops the entire time. What really set her apart was how much she genuinely cares. She went above and beyond—often staying longer than expected just to make sure Hoops was happy and comfortable. It was so clear he was being showered with love and attention. She played with him, walked him, gave him tons of affection, and treated him like her own. Because of her, we were actually able to relax and fully enjoy our vacation knowing Hoops was in the BEST hands. That peace of mind is priceless. We can’t recommend Debbie highly enough—she is truly exceptional, and we are so grateful for everything she did for Hoops!

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.
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!
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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Ocean City with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

- 98% 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.
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.
