“Mae was amazing. It was our first time hiring a pet-sitter, and we will definitely use Mae again if we need it. Getting home, our animals weren't stressed out at all, though they usually are after we take a trip. Mae sent daily photos and even left some wonderful printed photos for us when we returned. Our pup had some tummy trouble while we were gone, and she handled that as well. Overall great experience, so thankful for a stress-free trip!”

“This was my first experience using a pet sitter I didn’t know personally. Dean made me feel very at ease leaving Dunk in his care. He texted me during the stay and sent the best pictures. And in addition he cleaned up the house before he left! Definitely someone to be recommended.”
“Shannon was an amazing houseguest and pet sitter for my dogs and cats overnight. She took great care of them and was extremely proactive and responsive with updates while she was here. She even came a little earlier than requested! I’ll definitely be booking Shannon again the next time I need someone to stay or drop in for a visit.”

Sterlin was absolutely wonderful. She stayed overnight with my dog for two nights, kept me updated with pictures and I came back to my house exactly as left it. I would highly recommend Sterlin and I will absolutely reach out to her when I need my little guy cared for again.
Sally was great. We have two larger dogs and were staying at an Airbnb where we needed her for two extended time frames on two consecutive days. While both dogs are friendly with strangers, one is older, does not get around well and requires a “help-em-up” harness to go up and down steps or a short ramp into the back yard. Because the dogs were in an unfamiliar home, we asked that she come a couple of hours early to meet the dogs first for 20 minutes, then came back later to actually sit with them. It really worked out well. She was great with both, especially the older one, and sent a couple of phone pics each day too. I highly recommend Sally, and would certainly have her watch the dogs again if in the area.
I can't say enough wonderful things about Nikoleta! My original sitter got sick and had to cancel at the last minute, and Nikoleta absolutely saved the day! She was incredibly kind, thoughtful, professional, and so sweet with my girl Stevie. She even sent me the most adorable picture of Stevie all snuggled up with her, which completely melted my heart! 🥹❤️ Nikoleta went above and beyond, staying with Stevie until 3 AM and making sure she was happy, comfortable, and loved. It gave me such peace of mind knowing Stevie was in such caring hands. I'm beyond grateful for her flexibility, generosity, and genuine love for animals. An absolute gem of a human being, and I couldn't recommend her more highly!
I can't say enough wonderful things about Deborah! She came to our home on very short notice and was absolutely incredible with my sweet Stevie. It's not always easy trusting someone new with your fur baby, but Deborah immediately put me at ease with her warmth, kindness, and genuine love for animals. Stevie means the world to me, and knowing she was in such wonderful, loving hands gave me tremendous peace of mind. Deborah truly went above and beyond, and I'm so grateful she was there when we needed her. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to book with her again. An absolute gem of a human being, and I highly, highly recommend her! ❤️
Owen saved us in a pinch after a sitter from another app canceled late night after I already left town. He went above and beyond to make sure Scrappy maintained his regular schedule and communicated consistently with updates so that I was never had to worry about Scrappy while I was gone. He’s dependable and attentive to following detailed instructions, highly recommend!

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 Somers Point 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 Somers Point 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 Somers Point 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Somers Point. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
