Maureen was great with my dogs. I could tell she genuinely cares about animals and I felt completely at ease about leaving my fur babies in her care. She accommodated my last minute booking request and even made time to come do a meet and greet on short notice. She was very conscientious, did everything I requested and was great at communicating. I would definitely book Maureen again and recommend her to my friends. A+ experience.

About: Volunteered at a dog shelter (Rylies rescue) and for an organization called pawsibilities housing up to 50+ cats plus animals like farm animals, birds, and everything in between, so I’m very familiar with all sorts of animals and temperaments. Worked with 30+ cats in one space and familiar with administering medication. I’m in ocean city full time for the summer, and I have a very flexible schedule so I can provide care throughout the day whenever needed. I go on walks daily so dog walking fits into my routine. I’m also willing to travel between shore points to make sure your pet gets the care they need! I take care of my special needs dog, Wyatt, often. I feed, walk, and bathe him, and administer his meds whenever needed. All of which I am willing to do for your pets!

Megan did a fantastic job. She arrived right on time, was consistent with her walks and time spent with the dogs. I always got a detailed report card and cute pic of the dogs. She was fantastic.

Stephanie was awesome! Pru was a fan of her right away. We had Stephanie stop in twice today to let Pru out to do her business. Stephanie stayed and played with Pru each time to give her a break from her crate. You could not tell that anyone stopped by as everything was where we left it. Our puppy was happy and not at all upset about our the extended time that we were away. We look forward to booking Stephanie the next time we are away and Pru will be excited to see her again as well.

About: I’ve owned my dog for 8 years and have volunteered at dog shelters as a dog walker for over 7 years. I have also completed Pat Miller’s Level 1 dog training academy. I have experience with reactive and fearful dogs. I work full time, but I can walk dogs on my lunch break or after work. I use force free training and positive reinforcement with my dog. I use force free training with my dog, so I’m not comfortable with choke/prong/shock collars. I use positive reinforcement to get the desired behavior. I have experience with reactive and fearful dogs.

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust. I’m patient, dependable, and focused on making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m experienced with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, including puppies who need extra patience and consistency as well as senior dogs who may need a gentler routine, medication reminders, or extra attention. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, keeping pets active with walks and playtime, and maintaining routines that help them feel at home. What sets me apart is the genuine attention and care I give every pet. I treat animals like family, provide regular updates and photos, and make sure each pet gets personalized care based on their needs and personality. I am currently working part and time so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pets! I am also very available on the weekends. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities when caring for pets in both my home and a client’s home. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so they feel secure and comfortable while in my care. In a client’s home, I make sure pets stay on their normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest to help reduce stress. I keep the environment clean, secure, and calm, and I always double-check doors, gates, leashes, and food instructions for safety. I am also happy to provide regular updates and photos so pet owners can feel confident knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.

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: *** 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. I take the time to understand your pet's personality, preferences, and any specific requirements they may have. Above all, my genuine love for animals drives me to go above and beyond. Your pet will benefit from my unwavering dedication, treating them with the same affection and care I offer to my own pets. Routine: Consistency is key for pets, so l'll stick to their established routine, including feeding times, exercise schedules, bathroom breaks, and playtime. This minimizes stress and ensures a smooth transition in your absence. Feeding and Medication: If your pet requires a special diet or medication, l'll make sure to follow your instructions precisely. Whether it's administering oral medication, applying topical treatments, or managing injections, your pet's health is my top priority. Exercise and Play: Engaging physical and mental activities are vital for pets' well-being. I'll engage in interactive play, walks, and stimulating games to keep them entertained, happy, and healthy. Hygiene and Cleanliness: I maintain a clean and hygienic environment for your pet. Regularly cleaning food and water bowls, litter boxes, and bedding. 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.

About: I have a very energetic and outgoing person. I am also very active and love going on walks and playing! I took care of my family’s yellow lab starting at the age of 8 years old! I am used to handling bigger dogs but love any sized dog. At college, my roommate and I fostered a pitbull for a month and I learned so much from it! I also take care of my friends smaller dog often and created a trusting bond with her. I am currently working full time at Ike’s, either the day or night shift. I will have plenty of time to care for your doggies as long as I have a weeks notice to work around my schedule and plan ahead. I will provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to each pet’s individual needs. In clients’ homes, I ensure pets feel comfortable and secure by maintaining their regular routines—feeding, administering medication if needed, offering companionship, and keeping their environment clean. During walks, I focus on exercise, safety, and enrichment. Whether indoors or outdoors, I prioritize the well-being, happiness, and safety of every pet in my care.

About: I enjoy dogs and I enjoy walks so what better way to combine the two than becoming a Rover walker! I have most experience with small and medium dogs. I work flexible hours in my full time job currently, I am sure we can work something out that works for both of our schedules! Dogs bring so much joy to our lives! I love to walk and explore the neighborhood with a furry companion, throw a ball, and cuddle up with sweet dogs.

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!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Ocean City

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Ocean City on Rover is $22.2 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 490 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:

  • 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% 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 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.
