About: I have been around dogs since I was born. My parents have always had at least one dog running around the house, and I now have one myself that lives with me! Layla has gotten me through some tough times and with that being said I know how important dogs (and cats) are in our lives. I would love to be a sitter, walker, and caregiver to anyone's furry necessity! I am a full time student! Which means that I usually have school all week! I am free after 5pm every day of the week and on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays all day! I have my 3 year old dog named Layla that is very friendly to all dogs! She is playful and loves to meet new friends! I walk her 3-4 times daily because I don't have a fenced yard. This will also be the case if I am boarding a dog! If your dog is crate trained I have a medium sized crate that they can sleep in overnight! I am open to walking as often as needed and will follow routines to a tee! I also live with my boyfriend as a heads up! He is lovely pet owner and loves my girl like she is his own!
“Sierra left my place in good shape with everything clean and laundered. She willingly took my dog for an unexpected vet visit and took him on several walks. If you have needy animals, it would be beneficial to discuss her typical schedule…but my animals (cat/dog) seemed to adjust to her schedule fine and appeared to be well taken care of and happy. Thanks Sierra!”
“Stephanie was fantastic! She treated Mitzy as if she were her own and part of her family. She was very good at communicating and sending photos and taking care of anything that needed to be done while we were away. We definitely recommend!”
“Very punctual, communication and timing were excellent and above all else my pup absolutely Loved Gavin! Highly recommend using Gavin for walks/out of town trips requiring a sitter!”
“It was actually Abby, Andrea’s daughter who took care of our little guy and house sat. Abby did a great job, was very responsive before the scheduled date and while we were on vacation she communicated with me daily to let me know how Mr was doing, and included pictures. The house was clean when we returned and Mr seemed healthy and happy. Abby also watered our outdoor plants while we were gone. I would definitely recommend Abby to anyone needing her services.”
“Debbie took great care of our boy. We were pleased with how nonchalant he was when we came home. It means he got plenty of love. We also appreciated the reliable updates while we were gone.”
“Fantastic experience with Matt! He provided exceptional care for Piper while I was away. He spoiled her with walks, love, and sent regular updates with adorable photos. Bonus: came back to a cleaner house and cozy jazz playing on the TV! Will definitely book Matt again. Highly recommended!”
About: I enjoy taking active dogs for long walks & runs! No issue providing meds & special attention for older fellas/ladies. I have sat for cats for extended stays as well. Happy to do so again! I work remote 3-5 days a week so I can take breaks to walk your dogs or give them a potty break a few times per day, including midday. I currently have no pets at home, however I grew up with 2-3 dogs and a cat for 18 years. I'll love taking your dog for long walks/runs if they need it! I am happy to care for special needs animals or those who require medications at each meal. Just send me your instructions and I'll treat them as you would! I am open to sitting cats, but would consider myself a dog person.
“Julia was amazing! It really seemed like my pups loved her (especially since they both slept in bed with her !) she was really quick in response even though my request was last minute !”
About: I have been a dogsitter for about 6 years. I grew up with 4 dogs in my household. My grandparents were my next door neighbors and they had 5 dogs. I work full time at UNCW as a Parking Enforcement Officer. I normally work 7-4. After work I will spend time with your pets and I am off weekends where I can spend all day with them. I live in a gated area. I have a big back yard they could run around and I also live by the water if they like water!
“Abby has done it again! She provided outstanding care for our dogs and cats while we were away for 5 days. Just like before, we returned to happy pets and a spotless home. It’s clear Abby is a natural with animals and she treats them like her own. She’s an excellent communicator and sends regular pictures, videos and update’s. We feel extremely fortunate to have found such a reliable, caring pet sitter. Can’t recommend Abby enough!”
“We are so happy with the level of service and amount of love Ruth provided for our dogs while we were away!! Our scaredy cat even made a few appearances, which tells me how comfortable everyone was with her. Very responsive and very responsible, highly recommend Ruth and hope she’s available next time we travel!”
“Allen was great! I needed a last minute sitter and Allen was the perfect choice. Great communication and put up with my silly dogs with no complaints. Left my house in great condition. I look forward to having him stay with my beasties again. Thank you so much! 💜”
About: I have years of experience in pet/house sitting. I've had dogs all my life and can make sure they are taken care of as if they were my own. All I ask is for you to let me know of any specifications regarding your pets! I am a new VT graduate with a degree in Public Health. I am also a full-time server looking for an extra side hustle. My schedule varies with my job so my availability will change weekly, but I can be flexible with my hours! I unfortunately cannot have pets in my complex, but I am perfectly comfortable watching at the client's home. Overnight stays will depend, just send me a message!
“Kennedy was fantastic! This was our first time using rover and we were nervous but having Kennedy look after our 2 dogs completely put my mind at ease! She was very communicative and responsive throughout our trip and our house was perfectly neat when we returned home! Will definitely have her sit for us again!”
“Meagan was the best dog sitter I’ve ever had - seriously. Usually my dog gets sad when I’m gone and refuses to go for walks. But from Meagan’s pictures and updates, my dog seemed in great spirits the whole week. Not to mention, she treated my home with such care. Highly recommend Meagan & will certainly be hiring her again in the future :)”

Olivia was amazing. She took care of our 4 pups for 4 days. She took them on walks everyday and sent us messages throughout each day detailing what they had been doing. She also sent us many pictures of each pup during the day so that we could see their sweet faces. With Olivia we were able to rest easy that our dogs were being well cared for while we were away. We highly recommend Olivia and will definitely use her in the future.
Vikki was absolutely amazing! This was the first time we've left our animals with someone other than family. I had a sense of peace when I met Vikki right off the bat. She gave regular updates. I could tell the animals were very happy when we got home. I know we will be using her again. Highly recommend.
When we booked Stephanie she offered us a meet & greet, which of course went amazing! We instantly loved her as well as our dog, Cowboy! He is high energy and she could match that. Stephanie stayed overnight with our boy for 3 nights. It’s the peace in knowing that Cowboy had a companion to play and love on him while we were away. Stephanie went above and beyond and we have already set up another overnight stay with her!
Sara was so good! She took excellent care of Trawler. She also sent updates and pictures, which we very much appreciated. He warmed to her quickly and actually ate fairly normally, which is a huge compliment from him. We hope very much that she’s available next time we travel. We trust her completely, and she took great care of the house as well.
Raechel did a really good job with our boys. She stayed at our house and cared for our two golden retrievers ( one 4 years old and the other 6 months) for 3 nights. From the moment she walked in the house our boys loved her. She was very communicative leading up to watching them and sent good updates.
Amanda is a wonderful pet sitter. One of my dogs had injured his leg about a week prior to her caring for him, and she was incredibly adaptable and attentive in giving him his oral medication. She kept me at ease by sending pictures and promptly answering all of my questions. I highly recommend her services and will definitely be using her again in the future.
Maddie was great meeting my pups for the first time and giving them excellent care and snuggles in my home. My trip was a bit last minute and the weather was a concern for a bit but Maddie was communicative the whole time. I will definitely book her again! Thanks so much for making leaving the pups stress free Maddie!
Emma was fantastic! Moving here from out of state and traveling often for work, it was crucial for us to find a dog sitter that we trusted to care and love for our dogs the way we do. Emma stayed at our home with our two labs the whole duration of our trip, continuing their normal routine and making them Feel loved and cared for. She sent us daily photos and videos, had very prompt communication, and even did some household duties! I felt so much relief knowing Emma was with our dogs. We will absolutely be using Emma again!!!

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 Bayshore 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 Bayshore 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 Bayshore 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.

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.

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.

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.
