“Carol took great care of my elderly special needs dog while I was at work. She promptly sent me updates and a picture during her drop- in's with Stella. It was nice to come home to a happy dog :) ”
About: I enjoy taking active dogs for long walks & runs! No issue providing meds & special attention for older fellas/ladies. I have sat for cats for extended stays as well. Happy to do so again! I work remote 3-5 days a week so I can take breaks to walk your dogs or give them a potty break a few times per day, including midday. I currently have no pets at home, however I grew up with 2-3 dogs and a cat for 18 years. I'll love taking your dog for long walks/runs if they need it! I am happy to care for special needs animals or those who require medications at each meal. Just send me your instructions and I'll treat them as you would! I am open to sitting cats, but would consider myself a dog person.
About: I can’t remember an age where I wasn’t helping birth and raise kittens and puppies, turtles, or rodents. From having blind, toothless senior chihuahuas and senile cats…to a litter of brand new pups or kittens struggling to catch their first breath I’ve been part of it. I’ve had several rodents and reptiles, and cared for my friends and family birds as well. Trained puppies and kittens to use the potty and more. Also helped with a few farm animals too. I work only 20-25hrs a week, so I’ll always be home within 6hours or less. Outside of work, I’m home hanging out with my kids and furbabies. I have two e.s.a. Certified cats who tend to hide away when someone new is here. I’ve had them both since babies (13y & 3y). Keep things clean, organized, healthy, I had a cleaning company too. I don’t have crates on hand or an outside fence but I have a huge yard, the neighbor has a spayed female American bulldog, very friendly. There are farm animals next door. However, I do appreciate being where the pet is comfortable and knows its space.
“Laine was fabulous and will absolutely use her again! She checked on my pup every day for a week and . gave him lots of attention and love. She even messaged me the one day asking about his lunch when I forgot to leave it out making sure he got fed!”
“Our pups love Andrea! I can tell they got a lot of energy out when she comes and she is very attentive to their needs. She is also quick to respond to texts and communications and understands our dogs’ personalities well.”
About: Where do I begin... Dogs hold a place close to my heart! I have owned dogs for OVER 10 years and I have never met one that hasn't made a good impression on me for life. My experience ranges from elderly care to puppies/teenage years, female and male dogs! No two animals are alike, therefore care looks different for everyone and I believe each pet deserves to experience quality care away from their owner. Fun fact: my mom still calls me the dog whisperer like the show haha On my weekends I do have availability for Fridays (5:30-8pm) And Saturday -Sunday (10am-8pm) **Weekdays after 5:30pm can be discussed if needed by the owner(s)** My pets were crate trained, so I'm familiar with that aspect! With my past experience in pet sitting, I also am familiar with following a schedule for your fur (or hairless) baby.
About: With a lifelong love of animals and experience, caring for everything from tiny puppies to giant breeds, rescue dogs and cats, I bring patience, compassion, and a genuine understanding of each pets individual needs. Growing up with a variety of animals has taught me that every animal has their own personality, comfort level, and way of showing affection. I believe great pet care starts with getting to know your pet whether that means keeping up with an energetic pup giving a rescue time to feel comfortable or sticking closely to your pets familiar routine. I take the time to make sure they feel safe happy and cared for. You can expect dependable care, plenty of affection and thoughtful communication while you’re away. I know how much your pets mean to you and I want you to feel ease knowing they’re carrying hands and walks in potty breaks to playtime, companionship. My goal is to make your pets day a little brighter and give you one less thing to worry about! I’m working toward making pet care my primary focus, which allows me to offer flexible daytime availability for walks and drop in visits. I’m happy to work with your schedule and your pets individual routine whether that means morning walks, midday potty breaks, feeding, playtime or a little extra companionship while you’re away. I aim to provide consistent dependable care that fits naturally into your pet day. I’m happy to discuss recurring visits as well as an occasional bookings and I’ll always do my best to accommodate your pets needs. When caring for your pets in your home, I want you to feel just as comfortable trusting me with your space as you do with your pets, I’ll treat your home the same respect and care I would my own keeping things tidy, following your household routine, and making sure everything is just as you left it. My priority is to help your pets feel safe and comfortable in a familiar environment. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special needs, while giving them plenty of love and attention along the way. I’m happy to send updates and photos so you have peace of mind while you’re away. I believe caring for someone’s pet also means respecting the home and routines they’re used to. You can count on me to be thoughtful, responsible, and attentive to both your pets and your space.
“Madison was great! Reliable, respectful, good communication. Such a comfort to know she is there to love and care for our pup when we need to be away from home. We already have Madison booked to cone again!”
About: I have worked with all types of animals since I was a child. My friends would call me the dog whisperer because I just understand them naturally! I love training dogs and horses. 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. I am able to come to your house during the day or stay nights! I can offer limited boarding as well. I love animals and I love travel. I would be committed to caring for your pets as if they were my own. I enjoy getting to know your pets as each one is so special. I am reliable and can accommodate just about any extra requests such as bathing, working on training skills, hiving medication, providing adequate excercise etc. I will ALWAYS do this with your pets safety and happiness as my top priority.
“Chelsea provided wonderful care for my dog, Chai, while I was out of town. I highly recommend booking her. She communicates fabulously, is punctual, and truly cares for the welfare of your animal. She went out of her way to care for mine and I can’t wait to book her again! ❤️”
“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: I'm an experienced and dependable pet caregiver with 14 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, puppies, cats, kittens, and reptiles (excluding snakes). I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I provide patient, loving care tailored to their individual needs. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet like they're part of my own family. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you're away, giving you peace of mind that they're in caring and capable hands.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Castle Hayne is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $22 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 1,375 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Castle Hayne. 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.

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.
