“Jim was a wonderful fit for us! He came on time everyday, our cats were super friendly with him, he helped with cleaning up the litter and spent time with the cats since we were away for several days. He was very responsive and sent nice updates. I would absolutely trust Jim with watching our cats for future vacations.”

About: After 15 years with my dog, I’ve transitioned to being the go-to dog walker and sitter for my family and friends, and am excited to ! I have experience caring for dogs in every phase of life, from the energetic puppy days, to the senior days that required more attention. I understand firsthand what it takes to look after an aging dog, from mobility issues, to medication schedules, to just understanding an individual dog’s quirks. But, I’m just as comfortable with the energy and playfulness of puppies and young dogs, and I adjust my approach to fit whatever stage of life a dog is in. Working from home with limited meetings allows me to dedicate the time and care to dogs that they deserve, and I don’t mind the company myself! Whether your dog needs a walk, backyard exercise, feeding, a drop-in check, or someone to cuddle with on the couch while you’re away, I can accommodate your pet's needs! I treat every dog I meet with the love, kindness, and affection that I gave my dog, and I can’t wait to share that with more local dogs! I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to be with pets all day and go for regular bathroom breaks/walks during the day as well. I am also available on weekends! When I’m in a client’s home, I follow their instructions, my goal is to keep their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, same feeding times, walk schedule, and any medications, so there’s minimal disruption while they’re away. I also make sure to give plenty of one-on-one attention and playtime, keep the home secure and tidy, and stay alert to any changes in behavior, eating, or energy level. I’m also careful with yard safety, checking that fences and gates are secure before letting a dog out and keeping an eye on them the whole time, rather than assuming a fenced yard means no supervision is needed. I also always keep the owner updated with photos or messages during the stay

“Christen was flexible/accommodating when the timing of our plans changes slightly. She was communicative with updates during her visits and our dog was clearly well taken care of and enjoyed her time with Christen. She was completely calm/at ease when we returned home. We'd definitely have Christen back to look after Claire again.”

About: As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your animals. I have two dogs, a cat, and a bunny, so I’m experienced with different personalities, routines, and care needs.

I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and happy to tailor my care to what makes your pet most comfortable—whether that means an active walk, playtime, or simply some extra company and attention while you’re away. I currently work as a substitute teacher during school hours, which gives me a flexible schedule outside of the school day. I’m available for early morning and afternoon/evening walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, with additional flexibility on weekends and days I’m not teaching. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s normal routine. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your animals. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs and will closely follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, or special care. I’m patient, responsible, and respectful of your home, and I’ll always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness while they’re in my care.

About: I'm an experienced, caring, and playful sitter with a passion for providing exceptional care to dogs of all shapes, sizes, and energy levels. Whether your pup needs a running buddy or a gentle hand for a drop-in visit, I'm here to offer reliable, attentive, and fun care tailored to their unique needs. 🐶 About My Dog Experience With over 13 years of hands-on experience, I've proudly been a dog parent to two wonderful, high-energy Lab mixes—so I truly understand the dedication it takes to manage and love energetic breeds! Beyond my own dogs, I have walked and cared for countless friends' dogs, ranging from playful puppies needing potty breaks to gentle seniors requiring specialized attention. I am adept at handling everything from basic training reinforcement to complex walks and am ready to welcome your beloved dog into my care. 🌟 Why Choose Me? (The Energy Advantage!) The High-Energy Expert: Training for a half marathon means I have miles to burn! If you have a high-octane dog that needs a serious run (not just a walk), I'm your girl. I love giving dogs the focused exercise they need to be happy and well-behaved at home. Experience & Trust: With a background spanning over a decade, I bring a calm, knowledgeable presence. You can trust that I will treat your home and your dog with the utmost respect and care, ensuring their routine is maintained and their safety is always the top priority. Playful & Caring: I believe dog care should be fun! I prioritize not just exercise, but also playtime and cuddles, ensuring your dog feels loved and mentally stimulated while you're away. Services Offered 🏡 House Sitting (Your Home, Their Comfort) I stay in your home, providing around-the-clock companionship and care. This is perfect for dogs who thrive in their own environment. I manage feeding, medications, playtime, walks, and make sure they feel safe and loved until your return. 🚶 Dog Walking (Customized Exercise) From a brisk 30-minute neighborhood walk to a high-intensity run for the athletic pup, I offer personalized exercise designed to match your dog's specific needs and stamina. ⏱️ Drop-In Visits (Quick & Comprehensive) Ideal for quick check-ins, potty breaks, feeding, and a little playtime/snuggle time. I make sure their basic needs are met and they get a happy human interaction to break up their day. I look forward to meeting your furry family member and becoming their trusted caregiver! I work from home so have flexibility to work from anywhere and stop to play/walk/feed/etc. whenever is needed! I run my own consulting business so my hours are my own to build around what is needed and can flex on any given day. I am a loving pet parent myself and will treat your dog just like my own with lots of cuddles, pets and playtime. If they just need someone to be near, I can stay in your home for most of the day and try to keep life as normal for them as possible while you're away. If they crave socialization, I can also bring to play with my 2 year old lab in our fenced in yard, as needed/wanted.

“Jon is a cat whisperer. A cat magnet. We were worried about leaving our two 1-1/2 year old cats for 10 days to take a family visit. There was absolutely nothing to be worried about. Even the very shy cat greeted Jon at the door every day and gave him nose kisses. Your pets deserve the care of Jon.”

About: I've been with my cat my whole life, have loved and cared for him and have loved and taken care of dogs any chance I've gotten since I was young. I promise that whether its dog sitting or even dog walking, your pets needs and comfort will come first and foremost. I'm free all day and then will be out of the house any time between 5-10 on weekdays and 12-6 on saturdays. But outside of that I'll be free. Also when I'm not home I have a roomate who also has alot of experience in taking care of dogs (as he grew up caring for his own and other dogs as well). I live on the first floor of our apartment, have a courtyard, and 3 doors before the outside. I also live near a park where dogs run freely and play with their owners. I will provide whatever care that the dog needs based on the instructions you give me!

About: I have experience working as a full-time dogwalker and pet care provider for a local company, Let's Play Ruff, between 2019 and 2022. I'm currently a full-time employee at a daycare, but I'm looking for some side work. I have experience working with dogs and cats of all ages, administering medication, and basic dog training. I have a lot of practice with dog walking, and I am familiar with various handling techniques. I am a full-time employee at a daycare, but have a bit more flexibility due to the summer. My daycare isn't open on weekends, so I am fully available. Experienced pet care provider with trusted experience in childcare, pet care, dog walking, and house-sitting. Recognized for reliability and professionalism, I have maintained a loyal client base through strong relationships and exceptional care. I understand it can be scary to let strangers into your house and care for your pets, but I hope my references, background, and experience will give you confidence in me.

“Anahi is a wonderful person and sitter! She is friendly, kind, and a great communicator. I was very nervous as it was my first time using the site to find a sitter, but I made the right choice booking Anahi. I was not expecting my shy cat to interact with her right away, but from the first visit, she was sharing pictures of them playing together, and him seeking her out for affection as she walked in on the second visit. I do believe animals are a great judge of character and I will be booking her for my next trip. Highly recommend.”

About: Hello 😁 I have experience with dogs of all sizes but have an extra space in my heart for larger breeds. I grew up with 4 cats, so I’m no stranger to them either! All animals in my care receive “I love you’s” when I leave, and are talked to throughout the day. I truly treat them like I would my own. If I get the privilege of an overnight sit, you will always come back to a clean home, guaranteed ✨ I work from home, so I’m always available for longer sits as well as shorter visits and walks. Weekdays and weekends are great, I just like to plan ahead as much as possible. I make sure to honor specific and detailed instructions so that I can provide the same level as care as you do! I want your babies to feel like you never left. I’ll never fill your shoes, but I will surely try 🙂

Most bookings cost between $22 and $67 per visit. 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 of October 2026, there are 24,235 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Oceanport. 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 .

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

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.
