About: I have a 1 year old dachshund so I have gotten pretty used to caring for dogs especially puppies! She gets along with all types of dogs! I work part time and the other parts of my day include hanging out with my dog and taking her on walks! I like to get a lot of exercise in so i enjoy long or short walks! I have a small fenced in backyard and love to engage with the dogs and I think it will be fun to teach them little tricks! My home is super dog friendly and have a neighborhood to take them on walks!

My wife and I have a sweet cat named Poe who welcomes any visitors. I have experience caring for senior dogs, puppies, and everything in between and have been trusted among friends, family members, and neighbors to care for their dogs deeply and ensure all needs are met. I currently work Monday-Thursday and I am available after hours through the week or any time Friday-Sunday. I can be flexible as far as coming to you or hosting your pet! I live in a safe, private apartment close to several parks and great outdoor areas. I will cater the needs and schedules specific to each dog or cat and ensure all their needs are met.

Both during the initial visit and while she was taking care of them, Ashleigh was great with my dogs! My three husky mixes loved her! She took the time to go outside and engage with each one of them and cater to their individual personalities. She was extremely patient with their high energy needs and even took the time to send me several photos of them playing in the yard. Her exerperince of currently being in Vet school, and of previously working in a kennel and as a Vet Assistant really put me at ease in that if there were some type of an emergency, Ashleigh would be able to promptly and properly be able to handle it. I will defintely request Ashleigh's services again in the future!

Abby did an awesome job watching our 2 cats! She was thorough with the reports and included pictures and videos of them while we were away. She also made sure that any of the messes the cats made were cleaned up too! I highly recommend her for watching your fur babies!

About: I have cared for cats and dogs since 2015. I have been a cat/ kitten foster mom for over 25 cats and currently am the mother of a two year old cat. I typically bartend Friday and Saturday late nights generally from 9-3:30 and one 6-8 hour weeknight shift. I am able to adjust my schedule with notice. I am a very active, have reliable transportation, and do not have any other daily commitments. My cat soup is my soul cat and I feel great anxiety when finding a pet sitter. I understand that animals all have different needs and boundaries. I have a very calm demeanor that can will help put your babies at ease as they get to know me. I have spent many years as a foster cat parent and understand how to properly socialize with them. I was also a dog walker at a local shelter and have an understanding of dogs.

I currently have 3 dogs, 2 cats and a flock of ducks! All of my dogs have been raised from puppies. I have cared for senior pets as well. I have spent hundreds of hours over the last several years educating myself on animal behavior for my own pets benefits so I am well equipped to love and care for yours as well! I have always been passionate about working with animals of all type. I will always go the extra mile to provide topnotch care and service. My husband and I travel often so I know how important it can be to find petcare that you can feel good about! I currently work from home full time with a very flexible schedule.

About: I have taken care of animals for the majority of my life whether that be nursing stray kittens back to health, assembling special meals for my dogs specific health requirements, or pet and house sitting for friends and family members so they could take a well needed vacation. I have always held a deep love for animals and a career where I can be around them all day sounds more like a dream than a job. While not a certified dog trainer I do have experience with training puppies for small tricks such as sit, place, stay, down, etc. and would be happy to teach your fur baby as I take care of them. As a full time student I have a very open schedule with asynchronous classes that allow me to be there when your fur baby requires. I make sure to keep my pets on a regular schedule with grooming, food, vet visits and play sessions so they may have the best experiences as they grow and develope.

Lauren was amazing! We've lucked out and have been able to have family or friends come over to let our pups out when we have to be away for long periods of time, until now. We reached out to Lauren via Rover to come over and check on our pups. One was extremely worried about her presence and the other warmed up after a while. She is communicative and pleasent to talk with via the app. Her Rover Report Cards were detailed (with adorable pics) and helped put our minds at ease with a stranger caring for our pups. Thanks Lauren ?

About: My name is Drew, and I am the ultimate animal lover! I spent three years in Denver working in management at an in-home pet care company. I will take the very best care of your pets and provide a fun-loving environment! My pitsky, Quest, is friendly with other pups and loves to run and play all day. If you have an animal that does not like other dogs, I will be happy to drop by and spend time with them in their comfort zone. I have owned a husky and worked with many high-maintenance breeds, as well as having experience working with animals with disabilities and administering medications. I am open to boarding at my home, walks, day visits, and addressing other health needs your animals may have. Thank you, and I hope to pet and play with your fur friends soon! I will be working from 8am - 4pm, Mon. - Fri. During the school year. I have summers off and I am available full time and occasionally able to watch during the Holiday seasons. I have a large fenced and backyard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Castle Hayne

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of June 2026, there are 1,320 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Castle Hayne. 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 Castle Hayne 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 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 .

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 Castle Hayne 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 Castle Hayne. On Rover:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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.
