“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jennifer was absolutely amazing! She took exceptional care of our babies while we were out of town, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She went above and beyond in every way, and we returned home to happy, well-cared-for pups and an absolutely immaculate house! Jennifer truly exceeded our expectations, and it gave us such peace of mind knowing our babies and our home were in such wonderful hands. We can’t recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring. Jennifer will absolutely be our go-to sitter from now on! Thank you so much for everything, Jennifer! ❤️🐾”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She was incredibly attentive to my dog, and even the people at our dog park went out of their way to tell me how nice she was. It was clear my dog was in great hands, and I came home to a happy, healthy dog and my home looking exactly as I’d left it. Having that kind of peace of mind while away is invaluable, and I would absolutely trust her to watch him again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and respectful caregiver!”

About: I have been around family pets from the age of 5 years old. At 17, I raised my own dog from a puppy as well as participated in obedience training up to the advanced level. I have worked with dogs of various breeds and sizes through house sitting and volunteering, and I have experience with dogs of all ages from newborn puppies to senior dogs. I have also had pet cats and enjoy caring for them and their needs. PLEASE NOTE: New clients must book a minimum of 5 nights for the first stay. My job allows me to work fully remote, meaning that my place of work allows me to be flexible for extended stays as well as have pauses throughout each day for the ideal at-home pet care schedule. I strive to maintain a routine as close to each pet's home life as possible. I set clear and simple boundaries for clients' pets that reflect those of their owner and allow them to feel at home with me as their sitter.

She gave him so much care and attention, and it was clear he was comfortable and happy the whole time.. even during the storm where he gets super anxious lol. She kept me updated, was reliable, and went above and beyond to make sure he was well taken care of when I was away. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, I'd highly recommend her!”

“Shianna was recommended to us by our regular sitter and we could not be more grateful! Shianna scheduled a meet and greet quickly and was super understanding with our girl dog who gets a bit nervous with new people. Shianna was super sweet and receptive to our dogs needs. She was kind, sent regular updates and kept us informed of her schedule during our weekend trip. We came home to a clean home and happy animals! Overall we would absolutely trust Shianna to care for our pups again, and will be reaching out for future needs. 10/10 would recommend for anyone who is in need of a trustworthy person to look after their home and their animals! ✨”

“Emma is a fantastic person to care for your pets and your home. After finding out I needed last minute surgery, I worried about finding the right care for my dogs. Emma flawlessly cared for my two semi-neurotic chihuahuas with love, humor and professionalism while I was gone for multiple nights. I received timely updates, my dogs were happy, their medication schedule was adhered to properly, my home was just as I left it (if not better!), and overall I returned to the feeling that I had worried about my dogs for nothing and everything had worked out in the best way possible. I can’t thank Emma enough for making me and my and pups feel safe and secure that every detail would be handled just as if I was home with them.”

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!

“We absolutely loved Parker! She did an AMAZING job watching our dog while my husband and I went to a friend's wedding this past weekend! I cannot say enough kind words about her- 10/10 recommend!!! She is extremely flexible, responds timely sending lots of photos of your pup, and makes sure they are extremely well cared for while you are away. She even went the extra mile and vacuumed our house (which she absolutely did not have to do but it was so nice coming back with minimal dog hair haha). We will absolutely be using her services again for our future house/dog sitting needs! Thank you Parker!! :)”

About: Currently, I have been the mom to three senior dogs for 15+ years, so I understand their unique needs. I am willing to love and care for all types and age groups of animals, My husband and I own our own business, so I am flexible with my schedule and availability. I would just need a one day advance notice of your specific needs for pet sitting. At my home, I have a fenced yard for my three dogs. When they were younger and learning to potty train, we did crate train. I am willing to follow whatever instructions you have for the unique needs of your pet.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was young from my own to neighbors. I gained a lot of experience working in an animal hospital with many different dogs big and small. From puppies to senior citizens I am so happy to play/chill and do whatever is best for the dog. I am experienced in administering medication when needed. I am so excited to get some pet love so I will make as much work around my schedule as possible! I am regularly available Monday/Wednesday/Friday before 11am and after 2pm, Tuesday/Thursday after 11am, and flexible in weekends. Feel free to reach out even if it may not fit with my availability, I am happy to try and make things work! I always keep things clean, like how I would want to leave my pet in my own house. All pets will get so much love and treats if allowed.😉 Before leaving, I will always make sure water bowls are full and doors are locked!

About: Hi, my names Imani and anyone who knows me will say I love animals!! I’ve grown up with animals since I could remember! I currently don’t have animals of my own so i get my fix by caring for others !! I can’t wait to love on some of your furry kids! I do have a full-time job but im off on the weekends and evenings are free, which makes it perfect for overnights or weekend drop ins! I care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, making sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and the BEST care while you’re away. I’m happy to keep their normal routines, provide outside play and walks when needed, give lots of cuddles and attention, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are being cared for just like family!

About: I’m a mother of two daughters and a grandmother of one grandson and I have my own Pomeranian though I don’t bring her to other pet sits. I’ve been around animals all my life having been raised on a farm for part of my adolescence. Animals feel comfortable around me. I’m new to the area and I’m looking to help out those in the area by doing something fun that I enjoy well providing some financial abundance for myself during my settling down in Wilmington. I’m an energy, healer, spiritual guide and Empowerment Coach Looking to help you help me in return :-) I won’t be caring for any dogs in my home, but I am more than happy to go to yours where I’m sure your pets would be most comfortable at while I care for them.

“Abby was wonderful! We will definitely be using her as a house sitter again. She kept our fur babies happy while we were gone. She’s an excellent communicator and shared updates, pictures and videos with us regularly and reached out when she had questions. When we returned home everything was clean and in order which is always a huge plus when returning from a vacation.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Castle Hayne

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Castle Hayne is $37 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $53 per night. 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 770 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Castle Hayne. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Castle Hayne 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 Castle Hayne 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.

Tip: 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 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!

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.

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.

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. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

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.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

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.

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

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.
