“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: I have taken care of cats and dogs for the majority of my life including the 3 family Labrador Retrievers I grew up with, extended family's cats and dogs, and neighbors' pets ranging from puppies and kittens to older pets. I am also the type of gal to point out every dog I see walks or road trips and a good time to me at a house party is playing with the dog! Let me know what kind of play and care your pet deserves and I would love to watch over your baby while you are away! I am currently looking for work in education or childcare and figured I could help out my community through pet care while I continue my search! I have the time and energy to care and play with your pet with the love and attention they deserve! I also have the added bonus of a flexible schedule that can meet your pet care needs! I can help support your pets' needs in a variety of ways including outdoor walking and exercise, indoor play (depending on space and personal preferences), feeding, brush and coat care, and will do my best to accommodate any additional pet needs!

“I felt very comfortable leaving my cats in Mae’s hands! She came over for an in-person visit before the actual sit just to get familiar with the area and routine. She sent photos and updates the days she dropped by. All communication was fast and seamless, I plan to book Mae again in the future as I go out of town quite often.”

About: Hi, I’m Jocelyn! I grew up with a Jack Russell/terrier mix who has been part of our family for 12 years, so dogs have been a huge part of my life since I was a teenager. I’m also a proud cat mom of two, and between my sisters’ cats (an orange tabby duo!) and my own, I’m very comfortable with feline personalities too. My pet care experience includes caring for my husband’s senior, blind family dog — so I’m confident with pets who need a little extra patience and gentle handling — as well as care for different breeds of dogs and cats from friends to coworkers! I bring the same reliability from my years in customer service and hospitality: I show up on time, communicate clearly, and treat every fur baby like they’re my own. What sets me apart: I love photography and videography, so every walk or visit comes with photo and video updates of your fur babies having a great time — not just a quick “all good!” text. You’ll actually get to see the tail wags. I’m also an active person myself — I run, hike, and play tennis — I’m happy to give high-energy dogs the exercise they need! Currently booking flexible daytime and weekend visits. Looking forward to meeting you & yours! :) Pet care fits naturally into my routine right now since I have a flexible schedule with plenty of daytime availability. I’m an active person — I work out, walk, and spend time outdoors regularly — so incorporating walks or visits into my day feels like a natural extension of how I already live, not an extra chore. I also have two cats of my own, so daily feeding, litter care, and playtime are already part of my everyday rhythm! In my own home, my boys have consistent routines — regular feeding times, fresh filtered water, clean litter areas, and daily play and enrichment. I keep a calm, safe environment and give plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day, not just at scheduled check-ins. In a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their pet’s existing routine exactly as-is — same feeding schedule, same food, same walk times — since consistency matters most for pets in an unfamiliar situation (or even a familiar one with their person away). I treat the home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own space: doors/gates secured, messes cleaned up, and everything left exactly as I found it. And of course, you’ll get photo/video updates throughout so you can see your pet is happy and comfortable the whole time! (:

About: Neighbors and friends have always relied on me to watch their pets. Will go above and beyond to make sure your pet is taken care of and that you feel satisfied/comfortable. Like any normal pet owner you want to hear how your pet is doing and if everything’s going okay. I will be sure to send updates. I will make sure everything goes smoothly and no issues come up. Sometimes things do happen and if they do I will contact you immediately. My availability is always open and I am open to accommodate. I am open and available. Just let me know dates and times and we can try to make it work; if not, I’ll let you know. I do not have a fenced in yard at my place so I wouldn’t leave them outside alone. Going to a clients home I will access situation and go from there; if they need food, water, play, or walk.

About: Hello! My name is Richard Richmond and I want to play with your dog!! I have never met a dog I don’t like and am able to adapt my dog-sitting style to many different types of dogs. Whether it be an active German Shepard who wants to run around, a young pup who needs to be kept an eye on, or even an old dog who’s maybe had their better days behind them, I can adapt to bebthe dog-sitter you need me to be. I will be sure to strictly adhere to any instructions given to me concerning the dog’s needs. If you allow me into your home I will be sure to leave it in better condition than I found it and if your dog comes into my home we will treat him like one of the family. Currently part time employed so I can give your dogs all the love and care they deserve! I can adjust my schedule around your needs. I will cater to my clients’ dogs needs. I can take them out on long walks or play with them at home or in the yard.

About: I work remotely from my cozy home in Northfield most days a week, and I love furry company! I have a large back yard and live in a calm neighbourhood with lots of treelined streets to walk your pups through. I can also petsit your babies in your own home since my work is remote. I've been taking care of animals for friends for years and just realized I could be doing this more often through Rover! I work remotely and it's very flexible work. I love to take breaks and go out for walks frequently, and if your animal fits on my lap they'll most likely be there most of the time! If they have anxious tendencies I have lots of experience with helping them calm down and feel secure with me. I love to snuggle and will give your animals lots of cuddles and love! I have a big yard where your pup can run on the line. I make sure to feed your animals on time and take them out for frequent walks in my neighbourhood, parks nearby, or at the dog beach!

About: I love animals! I currently don’t have any and want to bring that love back into the home without the commitment of having my own pet yet. Let me help you care for yours in our loving home! I own a business and have a very flexible schedule! Times and days are very open to care taking! Longer stays with me usually can work as long as we plan ahead. I have a fenced yard and a very safe home, the sides of the home are not fully fenced so we use a leash/lead when playing out back. I want to make your pet feel comfortable in my home so they are welcome on my couches and beds. I love taking walks and can’t wait to bring your fur baby with me!

“Andrew cared for our 7 cats for 8 days, two visits daily, and did a great job. He had to clean five litter boxes, change five water bowls and a fountain, feed different diets and even give medication twice daily for one of the cats. He sent us photos, communicated as needed and kept up with keeping the boxes refilled and sweeping up excess litter. He brought in mail and packages too! Will definitely book with Andrew again!”

About: I have been around dogs all my life, mostly big mutts, and actively caring for the family dog since the age of 10. I trained my parents last 2 labradors (always a fun breed). I have elderly dog experience both with a big malamute/shepherd mix and a diaper wearing rat terrier. So I am used to the individualized care that different dogs need. On the fun side of things, long walks, fetch and tug o war are my specialities! I can groom, bathe, give medications, play, walk, run, snuggle, scratch and provide whatever care you prescribe for your favorite family member! I currently work from home with a flexible schedule so I can run on your schedule. If dog sitting, I only need an couple hours in the afternoon to walk my parents dog. If your pup enjoys other dogs and you are comfortable with it they can come along too. My own 3 year old dog is walked at least 4 times a day. He is a lab so he enjoys long walks and trips to the beach, bay, hiking trails, and dog park. I make sure he gets tug of war time and he loves my cats laser pointer. We keep him supplied with dry food at all times because he does not overeat. He gets wet food once a week and an ample supply of people food whenever anyone is in the kitchen. But this is just how my family cares for our pups. I will strive to interrupt your dog's normal routine as little as possible.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Somers Point

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Somers Point is $27 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $36 per visit. On Rover, 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 476 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Somers Point. 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.

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

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
