“I reached out to Daniel with extremely short notice. He responded very quickly. He came a hung out with my puppy Moochie who is still crate training, teething and an overly curious baby. I felt very comfortable leaving Moochie with him because he works at the vet hospital and actually cared for Moochie like two weeks earlier when he had a sore butt from a vaccine. Daniel sent me a few pics during his visit, which I always love. He came and left at agreed upon time. My extreme anxiety was put at ease. 💕”
About: I have taken care of dogs for many years - they are part of the family! You will have no worries while they are in my care. My work schedule is flexible and I have plenty of time and love and spend time your your dog(s) whether it's a walk, sit around or brush them. I live in a safe neighborhood or can come to yours - wherever you and your pet feel more comfortable and will be sure they are cared for at all times.
“Nikoleta made me feel confident that my pet was in great hands. She is great at communicating regarding questions or concerns with your pets needs. She truly is an animal lover.”
“Sterlin was amazing with my 14 yr old French-bull dog she kept me in the loop with everything.This is her second time watching my boy and I couldn’t of asked for anything better than her. I would highly recommend her to anyone. TY Sterlin for treating my dog as if he were your own. 💗”
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
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Mae! She went above and beyond while dog sitting and walking my dogs. Not only did she take exceptional care of them, but she also took the time to wash their bedding and even my couch cover. Mae stayed longer than expected, giving my dogs plenty of love and attention, which I truly appreciated. When she was done, she left me a thoughtful note detailing her time with them, which made me feel even more confident in her care. Mae was extremely professional, easy to work with, and clearly has a passion for animals. Knowing my dogs were in such great hands gave me so much peace of mind. She’s a 10/10, and I’ll absolutely be using her services again! Highly recommend!”
“Jordan was awesome. She didn’t sign up for this, but was stuck on one of the islands during the big Nor’Easter watching our dog Frannie. She did an amazing job keeping her safe while braving the storm. She was one of the MVPs of our wedding weekend”
“Sade quickly became our two dogs best friend!! She was so great with the dogs, followed all of our instructions, took great care of the house, and had great communication and photos. What more could you ask for?! Would highly recommend working with her and we’ve already re-booked with her because she’s so great!”
“Sally was wonderful with our dogs! She helped us out in a pinch when our dog sitter bailed on us 4 days before our wedding. Our dogs did great with her (even being slightly timid dogs). She even brought some snacks and toys, such a thoughtful touch! We will definitely be using Sally again!”
“Sarah did a great job with our dogs and was more attentive to them than we could have asked for. During a time when they could have been stressed out our dogs looked happy and active the whole time we were away because they adored Sarah.”
“Andrew did everything he was asked and more. Pups loved him. He came to my house 3x to take care of dogs and even adjusted his schedule when I had to change it due to surgery. I hope he will come back!”
“I was really nervous about leaving my dog and 2 cats, however Haley and Quinn were very responsive to my calls and requests. They are Amazing. We have one cat that is very skittish, Haley and Quinn are able to warm him over within a short period of time. When we arrived home, the animals were happy and healthy and our home was well taken care of We would recommend Haley and Quinn to everyone.”
About: I’ve been a pet owner since birth. I have been watching pets and taking care of them for over 10 years. I love animals with all my heart. I currently work as a paraprofessional in an Extended School Year program during all July during the week Monday to Thursday for 4 hours. I have open availability after 1 pm and on the weekends. I will meet your pet at the their needs. I’m great at following any routine or instructions you leave for me since I love rules. If I have any question or concern, I will ask at once. I’m a problem solver so I can figure out most things before I need to interrupt a date night, vacation or work.
“Jules was excellent with Jaxson! She came over for a meet and greet before her overnight stay to get acclimated with Jaxson and my place. She was great at giving updates and checking in. I felt good knowing Jaxson was with someone caring and loving.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. My own Mastiff had epilepsy and later cancer, giving me hands-on experience with medications, special needs, senior care, and high-maintenance routines. I’m patient, attentive, reliable, and genuinely love getting to know each dog’s individual personality and needs. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply needs a calm companion, I’ll care for them like my own. Pet care fits easily into my schedule, and I have plenty of flexibility to give your pets the time and attention they deserve. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and extended care. I’m also happy to work with your pet’s normal routine so they stay comfortable and consistent while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, routines, feeding schedules, medications, and household rules. I’m attentive to changes in behavior and know how important close supervision can be from my experience caring for a dog with significant medical needs. In your home, I’ll respect your space while making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable.
“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.”
About: I have experience working with dogs of all ages at a shelter, I’m good with all ages and work with the dogs at their comfort versus having them conform to what I want them to do. I’ve administered medication to dogs both older and younger and I’m willing to do whatever it takes to make you feel at ease about your dog being left with me. I am currently in school from 830-3 I can provide care from 330 and beyond depending on what you need. Weekends I am home all day and if your dog enjoys it I can take them hiking to the park ext. As I do live in an apartment that isn’t fenced in I can’t let them run around In a yard, but I have plenty of space to walk dogs or run with them if they like as I am very active. If I am in your home I will make sure your dog feels as safe as possible with me being there as well as providing you comfort.

Caitlen was amazing! She watched our 8 month puppy and a friend’s senior dog 2 days in a row. Our puppy has separation issues but Caitlen’s calming presence lessened her anxiety. She checked in with us a few times and sent pictures. I highly recommend Caitlen and would definitely use her again. Thanks Caitlen!
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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
