Jan was amazing with Minion and his care. She was punctual, attentive, and made sure to let me know of anything she saw. She gives the absolute best updates too! Her attention to detail with our meet and greet gave me confidence but she really knocked it out of the oark with her stellar care. Weird measure metric I know but whenever we're away, his coat gets oily like he gets sad and doesn't clean himself. When we got home today he was happy, clean, and soft. So I know for sure he really enjoyed her company. I absolutely recommend her and will reach out to her for our future pet sitting needs.

The best service I could have asked for. Exceeded expectations, sent me updates of my cats, played with them, brought in my mail, took out my trash, watered my plant, and was consistent with times he was able to show up. I look forward to working with him in the future as well! Thank you!

Suzanne was wonderful with my 4 cats!! I was out of the country but was confident that they were in good hands. The daily report cards she sent were awesome! I believe she may also have a career in pet photography! Every picture sent was great!! Much better than my own pictures of my cats. I will definitely be using Suzanne again in the future, as all my cats now love her! She my #1 choice!

About: I’ve had experience with many types of animals since I was little. I have experience taking care of dogs and cats of all ages. I also have experience taking care of rodents. I’m a stay at home mom as of right now to a little boy, so I will have all the time in the world to take care of your pets. I would have to work it around his nap schedule but that won’t be a problem at all. While I don’t have a fenced in yard, I can take any animal in my care for walks if it’s needed. I also have a loving cat named Ali to keep any animal that’s with us company.

About: I have taken care of all types of animals my entire life. I’ve had many dogs and cats at the same time. I love animals with a passion. I am empathetic to their needs. I understand where certain behaviors develop and how to not only prevent them, but to remove them completely. I have experience in dog training (household, leash, media/film, etc.). I have trained puppies all the way to senior dogs. Being with animals is not a hobby for me; it is a lifestyle. I work part time and have plenty of time, particularly before 4pm to play with your pups or kitties! I will assess inquiries on a case by case basis dependent on my availability. I will follow whatever systems you have in place for your furry friend. I can go on walks, play in the backyard, crate if necessary, feed and give medications, etc. I also can make and deliver my premium dog and cat food that I make with 100% whole and mainly organic ingredients for an additional charge.

I moved here not knowing anyone and needed someone to come let my babies out 2 times a week. She came and met me and the pups; and we instantly loved her! She truly loves and cares so much for them just like her own! She is dependable and so sweet; and we will continue to rebook every week with her! Me and the pups are so thankful for her!

About: Hello, pet parents! My name is Carla and I'm an experienced, loving, and dedicated pet sitter based in Emerald Isle. I've been passionate about animals ever since I was a kid and have spent the last 6 years turning that passion into a career. I've cared for animals of all shapes and sizes — from energetic puppies to mature cats, from tiny birds to sizable reptiles and everything in between. I have a special knack for understanding pets' needs and communicating with them on their level. My priority is to ensure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their humans are away. When it comes to dogs, I'm experienced in managing various breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. I am proficient in basic training commands and am capable of handling dogs who are leash trained or harness trained. I know all the great dog parks and pet-friendly spots around the local community and I am eager to keep your furry friend exercised and socialized. For feline friends, I'm well-versed in kitty care. I understand their unique personalities and respect their space. Whether your cat loves playtime or prefers a relaxing brushing session, I can adapt to each of their specific needs. In my care, your pet's safety and well-being are my top priorities. I am committed to staying in regular communication with you, and providing frequent updates and photos so you can rest assured your pet is in the best hands. Lastly, as a professional pet sitter with Rover, I am fully insured and bonded. I offer a range of services including dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I am flexible with scheduling and will do my best to accommodate your needs. Thank you for considering me as your pet's sitter. I look forward to meeting you and your pet(s) soon! Here's a peek into my daily schedule to give you an idea of how I'll be caring for your beloved pets. **Early Morning (6:00 AM - 8:00 AM):** I start the day bright and early, ensuring your pets have a good start too. This is the time for the first walk of the day for dogs, making sure they have plenty of exercise to start their day. For cats, this is the time for feeding, litter box cleaning, and maybe a little playtime if they're up for it. **Late Morning (8:00 AM - 12:00 PM):** After a little breakfast for myself, I continue with pet duties. This includes any necessary grooming, administering medication (if applicable), and more playtime or training sessions. I'll also check in with you, sending updates and photos of your fur-babies. **Afternoon (12:00 PM - 5:00 PM):** Lunchtime! I'll ensure your pets are fed according to their dietary needs and schedule. After lunch, it's time for another walk for the dogs or some indoor playtime for pets needing more exercise. I'll also continue to monitor your pets for any signs of discomfort or stress and provide comfort as needed. **Evening (5:00 PM - 9:00 PM):** Dinner time for your pets. I'll feed them and ensure they have fresh water. After dinner, there will be time for another walk or play session. I'll also spend some time just relaxing with your pets, as I believe that bonding time is essential for their emotional well-being. **Late Evening/Night (9:00 PM - 10:00 PM):** Before I call it a day, I'll take dogs out for a last quick bathroom break, tidy up the pet areas, and make sure all pets are comfortable and ready for bed. I'll also send you an end-of-day update so you can rest easy knowing your pets are well cared for. Please note that this is a general schedule and can be adjusted to meet the specific needs of your pets. I look forward to providing the best care for your furry (or feathery or scaly) family members! I currently do petsitting in the owners home, so the pets feel comfortable in an environment they are already comfortable in. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

About: I grew up with both dogs and cats and have always loved animals. I used to volunteer at the animal shelter and would take the dogs on walks, administer medication, and enjoyed spending lots of time hanging out with them. I work full time but I am available after 4. I am also free every weekend. I am an active person and love to be outside so we would go on lots of walks. I have a dog at home and she is crate trained so I am used to putting pets in a crate if needed. I also feed her twice a day and walk daily.

About: I have 2 dogs of my own and 3 cats, i’ve grown up with many animals in the household growing up of all different kinds and was expected to pitch in and help out with them. Have also sat neighbors and friends animals as well as walked occasionally. I currently have a part time job at a restaurant but that’s not until around 4 so i’m looking for some side jobs monday thru friday this summer and possibly in the fall in the mornings just to get out of the house and make a little extra money. I think pets need some social time but they also need down and relaxing time so I think it’s important to give them a good mix of both.

This is our second time having Cierra do drop-ins for our beloved, free roam house rabbits, Freya and Gus. She’s always super communicative, responsive, and takes such good care of our babies while we are gone. She’s always our first choice!

Ashleigh went above and beyond with our fur babies! We have 3 rescues, all with different personalities and issues. She even had success with my overly anxious, fearful girl with severe separation anxiety! Ashleigh is a true professional and must be a dog whisperer! 😊 She understood my directions regarding each dog’s unique personalities and tips to help with each one and did an awesome job! Her communications are prompt, detailed and friendly! We definitely recommend her and will use again!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Cape Carteret

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Cape Carteret on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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

As of August 2026, there are 587 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Cape Carteret. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Cape Carteret stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Cape Carteret 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!

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 .

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Cape Carteret with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

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.
