Shannon is truly one of a kind, and I cannot recommend her enough. From the moment she started caring for my dachshund, Willa, it was clear that this isn’t just a job for her, it’s something she genuinely cares about. Willa can be a little particular (as dachshunds tend to be!), but Shannon has been incredibly patient, attentive, and intuitive with her. She goes above and beyond to make sure Willa is not only safe, but happy, comfortable, and loved. I always get thoughtful updates, photos, and little details that show Shannon is really paying attention to Willa’s personality and needs. What stands out most is the level of trust I feel. Leaving your dog with someone else can be stressful, but with Shannon, I have complete peace of mind. I know Willa is being treated like family, maybe even a little spoiled in the best way. If you’re looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and genuinely amazing with animals, Shannon is it. Willa and I are both so lucky to have found her.

About: Animals have been my whole life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was always the one taking care of our pets, and I’ve had dogs, cats, and all kinds of other animals over the years. Even a squirrel! I’ve also spent years pet sitting and dog walking for friends, family & collègues. Whenever someone needs help with their pets, I am usually the first person they call. I genuinely enjoy getting to know animals and their different personalities! I’ve always been involved in helping animals however I can. Back when I was in school, I organized donation drives for local shelters and volunteered my time there. I also help build shelters for stray cats in the winter for a few consecutive years now! Working with animals has always been a dream of mine. If you’re looking for someone who will love your pets and care for them like they’re family, I’d love to help! P.S. I am more than willing to care for any other types of animals! Turtles, birds, rabbits, lizards and hey even a squirrel! As long as all of the proper personal care information is relayed to me in advance :) I currently work part time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet sitting, drop in visits, and walks. Outside of work, my schedule is very open! I care for pets in their own homes by sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine. I know being away from their owners can be stressful, so I make sure they feel comfortable and safe while you’re gone. I also make sure owners stay updated with messages and photos so they can have peace of mind knowing their pets are doing well!

Jesel was wonderful with Lloyd and Tootie. This was our first time leaving them with a sitter, and we were nervous. We came home to two very happy, well-cared-for dogs and a house that was thoughtfully maintained. It was clear they were loved and attended to the entire time we were away. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.

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.

Sade was so compassionate with Max and not rushing him to get to be comfortable with her and gave him time and space. It also helped that Max was in his own home and Sade took care of my place as It were own. Would love to book again with her for future dates.

That’s why I’m here What ever special requirements your pet may need, I will do. I know everyone loves their dog(s) more than most other people in their life. So obviously they deserve as much love and care as we can give them.

I was away for three night with no worries after learning what a caring person Lauren was at our meet and greet. Lauren and I went over the pups walking routine and their eating schedule. I was so nervous to leave my babies alone for their first time, but Lauren reassured me that she would give them special care. And that they did. I received several pictures and texts from Lauren over the weekend letting me know they were happy and content. I am very pleased with Lauren’s house sitting services and care for my pups . I highly recommend her and surely will use her services again.

About: I have experience taking care of dogs and cats! Dogs that are more trained and have troubles with eating during given dinner hours! I have lots of experience with shy cats and anxious dogs, given my cat has been very shy towards others, and my dog is incredibly anxious! While I do have more experience with cats, I am as much of a dog lover as I am a cat lover! Currently also trying to look for a part time job, but my schedule is all around free besides on super early mornings, weekdays are fair game for me as of right now! Same with some weekends if given prior notices! I will follow any given guidelines and rules to anyone I will be having my services given to! I am a very clean person, especially with animals! I will follow any given diets or routines with what ever critter you may have in store for me!

About: I've taken care of my own dogs for many years, feeding, cleaning up after them, playing with them, bathing and brushing them, even cutting their nails. I have also taken care of a few neighborhood dogs. I have also worked as an animal care person at a reptile facility, so I know my way around a lot of animals! I am on a break from college currently to get some money for the rest of my years of studying, since I cannot afford to right now. I will dedicate as much time as I can to your pets and do my best for them! While I do not offer in home sitting, I have been taking care of animals for a solid 6 years of my life, including reptiles and birds! I am also connected to the Absecon Police Department so if anything were to happen while I were dog/house sitting, rest assured the situation would be resolved quickly and efficiently.

About: I have never not had a dog as far back as I can remember. I love being around them. From puppies to senior dogs also. As of Dec. 27th I will be working full time, however I can still do walks, drop ins and overnight stays. I can still do morning walks and evening walks. Can walk dogs from a small walk to up to several miles if needed, on a hike and just play ball if needed. I currently do not have a yard to be able to have a dog at my home. Hope to change that in the future as needed

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and currently have two 2-year-old American Bulldogs that I raised and trained from puppies. Because of that, I’m especially experienced with puppy care, basic training, and handling large, high-energy dogs. I’ve also cared for dogs of all sizes, from small family dogs to larger breeds, so I’m comfortable adapting to each dog’s unique personality and needs. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I currently work a couple of evenings each week at a restaurant and train for soccer for about two hours on some mornings, which leaves me with plenty of flexibility to provide pet care. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays, I’m committed to giving your pet the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll follow your routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I’ll make sure they have plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh food and water, and any medications if needed. I’ll also keep your home clean, provide regular updates with photos, and treat both your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would my own.

Breanna did a wonderful job with our pups. Particularly of note, our dog Luna developed diarrhea the day before our trip, but we had no worries about leaving her with Breanna, who ensured she stayed on a bland diet and even made more rice for her. The dogs were clearly well taken care of, as was our home. She provided timely updates and was flexible when we had to make changes to our plans. Would definitely recommend her and plan to use her services again! Thanks Breanna!

About: I've proudly been working with dogs for the past 12 years! House/pet sitting since 2023 for friends and family and as my full time job since May 2025. Prior to May I was a facility manager of a local daycare/boarding facility for almost 7 years. I was responsible for the safety and well being of 30-100 dogs everyday. Prior to that I worked at a vets office for 1 & 1/2 years and before that, a Luxury Pet Hotel for 3 & 1/2 years. I have cared for 1000's of dogs, all sizes, ages and breeds. I posses a wide array of skills and knowledge, ensuring all pets are safe and comfortable. I have 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 as an adult, 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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Oceanville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Oceanville on Rover is $58.28 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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

As of July 2026, there are 368 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Oceanville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Oceanville walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Oceanville maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

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 Oceanville 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!

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.

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 .

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

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.

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

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% 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.
