About: Hi, I’m Sarah (I go by my middle name Mackenzie)! A lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve looked after everything from energetic puppies who need extra playtime to senior pets who require gentle care and patience. My experience includes: • Daily walks, exercise, and enrichment to keep pups happy and healthy • Feeding, administering medications, and following specific care routines • Lots of love, cuddles, and companionship to make pets feel at home • Experience with crate training, leash manners, and multi-pet households I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. My priority is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for, just like they would with you. I’ll always send updates, pictures, and notes so you have peace of mind while you’re away. Whether it’s a long walk, a cozy cuddle session, or keeping up with a playful pup’s energy, I’m here to give your pets the care they deserve. 🐶🐱💛 I currently work full-time remote!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, lizards and birds since I was 10! Our family has three dogs, one that I’ve personally trained since she was a puppy. My roommate and I also consistently foster kittens until we can find them a forever home I work part time, but short shifts (usually only about 6 hours) and have classes for 2 hour increments every weekday morning. I have more than enough time to make sure every fur baby gets enough care while you’re away! I make sure that every animal gets enough play time and attention as I’m aware ample stimulation is critical for a dogs mental and physical health. I’m more than happy to provide daily walks, playtime and any other things a part of your pets schedule and needs.
About: I have experience with Elderly dogs as well as puppies. I have some experience with training and am able to assist with simple commands like sit, stay, and heel. I have experience with reactive dogs as I used to have one of my own, and am very good at soothing stressed animals and keeping them under control. All types of pets are welcome. I live in a more rural area of Wilmington and have a large fence surrounding my house. Most days, my schedule is very flexible and open, and I am able to give my full attention to the pets staying with me. I am a very diligent caretaker, always keeping an eye on the pet and taking time to determine what they need when they express distress. I am very active and love being in nature, so I am happy to take as many walks as might be necessary, go to the park, or even go swimming!
About: I’m a registered nurse and caring for others is my passion. I’ve had animals my whole life. Dogs, cats, fish, lizards, and birds! I’m comfortable administering medications, going on walks, dog sitting, helping senior dogs mobilize, you name it! I currently have two miniature schnauzers who I’m absolutely obsessed with. Thank you for letting me be a small part of your pet’s life! I work night shift, 3 nights a week, which gives me great flexibility to assist with your fur babies. I’m happy to help in any way I can! I will travel to you! I find most animals are most comfortable in their own environment but am happy to take them out on adventures too!

I offer in-home pet sitting to ensure a smooth, low-stress experience for your pets while you’re away. I pride myself on being reliable, respectful, and fully committed to the well-being of every animal in my care. I’m currently transitioning out of my previous role, which means I’m available full-time for pet care. I’m excited to dedicate my time and energy to caring for your pets with the attention and reliability they deserve! I care for pets like they’re my own, giving them love, attention, and consistency right in the comfort of their home. I go above and beyond to make sure every animal feels safe, happy, and loved—because when I’m your sitter, your pet gets the best.

“Once again, Erin was such a lifesaver in helping watch Sprocket last-minute while I was at work. She took such wonderful care of him while he was sick. Definitely a huge relief for me knowing I didn’t have to worry. So thankful!”
“Debbie was a lifesaver! We somewhat last minute needed a sitter for our pup and she was quick to respond to my messages. She even managed to squeeze in a visit to meet us before we left town!”
About: Hi! I’m a caring and dependable pet sitter who treats every pet like my own. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just cozy companionship, I’m happy to match their routine and personality. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I am currently working part time, so there is plenty of time to play! I am available Most days for walks, stopping by, or boarding. The safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet in my care are my top priorities. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible to reduce stress and help them feel secure. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs. I make sure the environment stays clean and safe by securing doors and gates, keeping food and water areas tidy, and removing any potential hazards. I take time to understand each pet’s personality and adjust my approach—whether that means energetic play, calm companionship, or giving them space. I always provide updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. I am a 2 minute walk to two different dog parks, and a large area to run around in, or a safe comfortable environment without other pets or kids to be the home away from home.

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 Castle Hayne 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 .

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.

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.
