“Mia (Ching Yu) was a delight to work with and our dog loved her! She was very attentive to our dog and her needs and spent a lot of time with her during her visits either playing fetch or taking her on walks. I would highly recommend Mia to anyone who’s looking for in home care for their dog while they are away. We will definitely rebook with Mia when we go on our next trip!”
About: Hello! I’ve grown up with dogs almost all of my life. The only time I didn’t have a pet was when I first moved away from home, but I got my wonderful dog, Poppy, as soon as possible. Followed by our gentle Snoopy and now Kevin Bacon the cat. I look forward to making your pet feel loved and cared for however long they need it!! Please feel free to reach out if you have questions! I work remotely from home and have a fairly flexible schedule. I do have a toddler at home but can coordinate care or bring him along when possible. I’m happy to follow your specific instructions for walks or drop in visits. I’ll treat your home like my own and make sure your pets feel as comfortable as possible.
“I couldn't have done it without Caitlyn's help. I've booked her services twice and will continue to do so. She was very flexible with both her and my schedule, accommodating my needs, and accepting my request on very short notice, which I greatly appreciated. Caitlyn also brought in all my packages and took excellent care of my cat, Ralph, while I was out of town. I highly recommend her!”
“She was wonderful with Moonie and Cobain! Great communication throughout the stay. She let me know right away when Cobain wasn't feeling well and kept a close eye on him after. I felt completely at ease having her watch them. Would book again without hesitation!”
“Natasha came right over at 11:30 at night when we had an urgent need for someone to check on our dog. She was great with him in an unplanned situation where things were not set up for success as I typically would have them, and even took a few minutes to clean up some of his mess from earlier in the evening. I’m so grateful to have someone reliable that I can call on in an emergency or planned absence!”
About: I have 30+ years of experience caring for my dogs, cats, and horses. I bring patience, confidence, and a personal touch to every visit. From reinforcing basic training and helping puppies build good habits to providing gentle, attentive senior care, I tailor my approach to each pet's needs and routine. As a real estate agent, I have a very flexible schedule that allow me to fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I conveniently serve the Lillington, Bunnlevel, Spring Lake, and Cameron areas as well as a few areas in Cumberland County. I can coordinate visits around your pet's needs, providing dependable care, attention and companionship while you are away. I can provide personalized pet care by following your pet's familiar routine, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of affection. In your home, I respect your space and keep your pet comfortable in their own surroundings. I also can send photos and updates so you can feel connected and reassured while you are away.
“Christine was AMAZING with my 3 kitties, she even came in on her own time (separate from her scheduled times) to bring them toys since we are in the middle of a move and everything is packed away. You can tell she is a true lover of animal. I highly recommend her!”
About: Hi! My name is Phinette! Growing up, I have always been a huge animal lover. As a child, I had three small dogs who I am so grateful I got to grow up with until they were in their late teens. My family rescued our current pit bull mix, Oakley, 6 years ago, who is now reaching his elderly years, as well as six cats! I truly love seeing the different personalities in each animal and finding out what makes them unique. I am great with high energy dogs including puppies and love being active, so I would love to help get their energy out with lots of activity! I’m currently a Physical Therapist Assistant student, and my availability and preferred service areas will change throughout my clinical rotations.

I’m primarily looking to book sittings closer to Sanford. Dog Walks & Drop-In Visits During clinical rotations, I’m primarily available on weekday evenings and throughout the weekends. I know how scary it can be to have someone you don’t know stay in your home and care for your pet. That’s why it’s really important to me to build a relationship and trust with my clients, so it doesn’t feel like a stranger is in your home. I’ll make sure your pet and your home are in the best care possible while you’re away, and I have a feeling your pet and I will become best friends by the time you get back! I absolutely love sending pictures and updates, so you’ll never have to wonder how your pet is doing while you’re gone! If you’re someone who doesn’t need as many updates, that’s completely fine too. I’m happy to send them as often or as little as you’d like. I also make sure to check my phone regularly while house sitting, so you’ll always be able to reach me if you need anything. I’m someone who actually loves detailed instructions because they help me make sure I’m doing everything exactly how your pet is used to. I want to keep their normal routine as much as possible while you’re away. I’m also a bit of a neat freak, so you may come home to your house looking a little cleaner than when you left it!

“Loren was an amazing pet sitter. She was incredibly communicative, loving, and caring with my dogs. Always punctual, attentive, and truly impossible to improve on. She was consistently willing to help, very service-oriented, and made us feel completely at ease. I highly recommend her and would absolutely trust her again with my pets.”
About: I’ve grown up with pets and started taking on hands-on care when I was just 9 years old. Over the years, I’ve also spent a lot of time volunteering at my local animal shelter, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of pet personalities—from shy and gentle to playful and energetic! I work full-time with a flexible hybrid schedule, which allows me to integrate pet care into my routine with ease. Just let me know when you need me! Since I won’t be hosting pets in my home (I have two cats of my own!), I focus on creating a calm, consistent, and respectful environment in your home. I always follow your instructions carefully, whether it’s feeding routines, walk preferences, or medications. I make sure your pet feels safe and cared for by keeping their space clean, sticking to their normal schedule, and giving them the attention they need based on their personality—whether that’s playtime, cuddles, or just a reassuring presence.
“My partner and I went on a two week long trip and we needed someone to check in on our two cats while we were away. Caroline did a fantastic job making sure our cats were set with clean litter, food, and water and she also took the time to keep them company, play with them, and to give them treats. She was communicative, very flexible, and gave us detailed report cards and pictures! We had no worries during our travels and would highly recommend her to others in need of check-ins.”

Anna was super polite, friendly and responsive. Anna made sure to meet with me and my little furball prior to our booking. Once it was time to check in on my cat she spent time with him. I believe that my cat had a good time with her as he’s super affectionate and friendly. I will for sure be booking Anna in the future for any cat sitting services. Thank you!
She was wonderful with Moonie and Cobain! Great communication throughout the stay. She let me know right away when Cobain wasn't feeling well and kept a close eye on him after. I felt completely at ease having her watch them. Would book again without hesitation!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Cape Fear is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $28 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 November 2026, there are 4,268 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Cape Fear. 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cape Fear. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
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.
