About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 11 years old. I have 2 Dogs of my own that are 10 years apart so I have lots of experience with puppies and grand-dogs! I also occasionally have dog sat for friends and family :) I am mostly remote for my job, only going into office 4 times a month or less, so I have lots of time to spend catering to pets. I live in a great neighborhood with a dog park, walkable roads, grass, etc. so easy access to walks/playtime. I have a quiet, clean space for dogs to enjoy with large windows for those who like sun bathing! I will always run the AC so they stay cool, have space for them to change up their scenery, and have a dog park and walkable neighborhoods in my backyard.

About: Hi! I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable dog lover who understands that every pup has their own personality, routine, and needs. I love getting outside, staying active, and making sure dogs get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection while their humans are away. Whether your dog needs a leisurely stroll, an energetic walk, or simply some extra companionship, I’ll treat them like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s usual routine and any special instructions you provide. I have foster dogs for the last two years. I am currently fostering my 7th dog, I have owned dogs my whole life and my dream is to open my own sanctuary one day. I’ve fostered small dogs And big dogs, i’ve potty trained, crate trained, and house trained every single one of my Foster’s. I have experience with fear based, anxious and reactive dogs. I spend my free time volunteering at the shelter to help walking & socializing the dogs. My dogs are my children, and they are so spoiled beyond belief. I’m currently working part time so I’m pretty much home all day dedicating my time to my fur babies, making sure they get plenty of mental and physical exercise. I’m big on mental enrichment/stimulation and excersise. I will make sure your dog is taking good care of! I love to play ball/fetch with my dogs, I play a lot of puzzle games, I take them for a run or car ride to sniff & tire themselves out.

About: Neighbors and friends have always relied on me to watch their pets. Will go above and beyond to make sure your pet is taken care of and that you feel satisfied/comfortable. Like any normal pet owner you want to hear how your pet is doing and if everything’s going okay. I will be sure to send updates. I will make sure everything goes smoothly and no issues come up. Sometimes things do happen and if they do I will contact you immediately. My availability is always open and I am open to accommodate. I am open and available. Just let me know dates and times and we can try to make it work; if not, I’ll let you know. I do not have a fenced in yard at my place so I wouldn’t leave them outside alone. Going to a clients home I will access situation and go from there; if they need food, water, play, or walk.

“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: I’ve handled everything and anything your pooch may need either with my own little boy or other dogs. From bathing to sneaking medications in treats to regular or expected vet visits. I have just come back from active duty service. I am looking to start my 1st semester of college in the spring and as of now, my dog is my #1 priority. And if your pooch is under my care I’ll make sure he is too! I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room to play. Plenty of toys from my own pooch that yours is welcome to use as well. My boy is very active so he gets his walks every 3 hours and decent run every other day along with trips to the park. It would be lovely to find a pooch that could match his energy.

About: I have always had a love for animals. Growing up, I always had pets, mostly dogs and cats but also rodents, snakes, and frogs. I have also volunteered for 2 animal shelters in the past and still actively volunteer at one with walking dogs. I am currently in school and working part time but somehow still have plenty of free time! I love helping out people especially when it comes to caring for their pets when they cannot, whether that be at work or on vacation. I will always keep any animals on leashes or in the house. I will keep the same principles as my own dogs and will always keep them safe and keep their boundaries granted.

About: I have worked with animals at a boarding facility and then transferred to two veterinary hospital as a technician assistant and training tech. I also own my own dog named Titan who is 9 years old and a cat named Mami who is around 3. I’m pretty well trained with aggressive pets and even messy one who tend to potty leak because of old age! I’m extremely loving with every pets and love to give them as much photo ops as I can during our play dates to update the parent :) I’m currently in school full time but attend them mostly online. On Tuesday I go from 2-4:30pm and am free for the rest of the week. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities when caring for pets. I have experience working as a veterinary assistant, so I’m familiar with monitoring pet behavior, recognizing signs of stress or illness, and safely handling animals. In my home and my client’s home, I keep the environment clean, calm, and pet-friendly. I also follow any instructions given by the owner, including feeding schedules, medication, crate routines, or special care. As a pet owner myself with both a dog and a cat, I understand how important it is to treat every pet with patience, kindness, and attention.

About: I’ve been the go-to pet person in my circle since I was 10 years old! What started as helping out neighbors has grown into a lifelong passion for animal care. For over 10 years, friends and family have trusted me with their most important family members because they know I treat every dog and cat as if they were my own. From high-energy puppies to gentle seniors, I’ve worked with dogs of every size, breed, and personality. Whether your pup needs a high-intensity play session or a calm companion to lounge with, I adapt my energy to what they need most. Pet care is my full-time career, so your pets are my #1 priority. Because I don't have a typical 9-to-5, I have a completely flexible schedule. I’m available for mid-day walks, early morning feedings, and overnight stays. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in or constant companionship throughout the day, I can be there. In your home: I strictly follow your pet's existing routine to keep them comfortable. I am vigilant about locking doors, securing gates, and keeping harmful items out of reach. In my home: I have two pet-friendly setups. Depending on your pet's personality, I can host them in a lively home with my two friendly dogs for socializing, or in my second pet-free home if they prefer a quiet, one-on-one environment. Outdoors: I never let dogs off-leash in unsecured areas and always do a quick 'paws-check' on the pavement to ensure it’s not too hot for a walk."

“This was our first time using a pet sitter, other than family, and we are extremely pleased with the experience. Cassie went above and beyond, taking care of our cats and home while we were away. Even our very shy cat, who takes days to come out while visitors are here, was out within a day and looking forward to her visits. Regular updates, photos, and personable accounts of the visits all added up to easing our minds about how the cats were doing, and we can't thank Cassie enough for her care of 2 of our furry family members! Highly recommend and will be calling Cassie for sure next time we need someone to watch the cats.”

About: I've proudly been working with dogs for the past 12 years! House/pet sitting since 2023, as my full time job since May 2025. Prior to that I was a facility manager of a local daycare/boarding facility for about 6 years. I was responsible for the safety of 30-100 dogs everyday. Worked at a vets office for 1 & 1/2 years and a Luxury Pet Hotel for 3 & 1/2 years. I have cared for 1000's of dogs, all sizes, ages and breeds. I possess a wide array of skills and knowledge. I’ve managed large play groups, broken up altercations, cleaned wounds and given many forms of medications. I have also cared for senior dogs, injured dogs, and sick dogs. There is not much I haven't experienced over the years. I have also owned 4 dogs of my own, I currently have 2 fur babies! Pet sitting and dog walking is my full time job. I may have to walk a few dogs here and there but my schedule is flexible. I will always ensure your dog is well cared for, going outside in a timely manner and properly exercised. I have open availability and will try my best to accommodate your requests if your pet is a good fit for my pack! I have an acre of land with a fenced in dog area. All dogs are supervised while outside and I can split play time or walks as needed. I love to take pack walks in the woods/trails and explore local parks if your okay with that! If not that's okay too, we can play fetch, indoor games and cuddle! I can crate your dog while I'm not home, or for bed time if needed. My 2 dogs Nigel and Sage are friendly and ready to play or chill with new friends. If I come to your home I can care for your pet anyway you choose, trying to keep their routine as similar to there day to day.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Ocean City

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Ocean City is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 459 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ocean City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
