About: Hello! We were pet owners to our fur baby for 11 short years and truly miss having a pet around. We would absolutely love to provide a vacation for your pet in our home and love on them like we would our own all while providing a worry and stress-free time for you. I look forward to working with you and getting to know your amazing pet family! I am super flexible with availability and am home most of the day which allows me to adhere to any schedule or routine your pet may have. We have a caged hamster and I only take one client at a time so your pet will get lots of attention and full reign of the apartment :)

About: Hi! I’m Ally, and I’ve always had such a big love for animals! I previously worked at Dogtopia, a dog daycare, where I spent my days caring for dogs of all different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I was responsible for supervising playgroups, making sure everyone was safe, and giving each dog the attention and care they needed. That experience taught me so much about working with different dogs and understanding their behaviors. I also had to take a course to know learn behaviors and when to read their responses, as well as when to know when they are all types of sick or injuries. I genuinely love spending time with animals and will always treat your pets like they’re my own! I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone, and I would love to be someone you can trust to keep them happy, safe, and loved while you’re away! I’m currently a college student here in Wilmington and also play soccer! My schedule is pretty flexible outside of classes and practices i have morning practice that ends at 9 and then only one in person class on mondays. So I have time throughout the week and on weekends to care for your pets. I love spending time with animals and would be more than happy to work with you to find times that fit both of our schedules! I’ll always make sure your pets get the time, love, and attention they deserve! Your pet’s safety and happiness will always be my top priority! With my previous experience working at Dogtopia, I’ve learned how important it is to understand each dog’s personality and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll always respect your space and follow any routines or instructions you have for them. Whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just giving them some extra love and attention, I’ll make sure they’re well taken care of! I also love sending pictures and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pets are happy and safe while you’re away!

About: I have grown up around animals and am experienced taking care of puppies to senior dogs. I have spent the last couple of years learning more about what makes a dog stay healthy and happy. I understand how a pet is a member of your family or your whole world so I will treat them as such. They deserve to be cared for at the standard they would be by you and I will take that responsibility seriously. I have my own dog at home and sometimes life gets busy and I need others to help me. I enjoy doing the same for others by dropping in, walking your dog, or watching them overnight. I have a very dog friendly apartment with its own walking trail to take your pet on a walk. I also have balcony’s overlooking the trail that dogs enjoy sitting on and watching the activity outside. I do have my own dog who is crate trained but he also always wants to play with other dogs. I can keep the dogs separated in my home, or out loose depending on your preference. I have no problem sharing furniture and couches with a fur baby because their comfort is my priority.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for 25+ years, and connecting with them has always come naturally to me. I’m especially attuned to pets who are sensitive, shy, or need a calm and steady presence. Whether I’m walking dogs, checking in on cats, or supporting small animals, I focus on helping them feel safe, understood, and relaxed while you’re away. I’ve cared for: • Dogs of all ages and temperaments • Cats who range from independent to highly social • Small animals (rabbits, guinea pigs, chickens, etc.) • Horses and farm animals (currently expanding my formal training) My approach is simple: meet each animal exactly where they are that day. Some need play and structure, some need quiet companionship, and some need a very gentle introduction. I pay close attention to cues, routines, and emotional needs so your pet feels comfortable and secure. I treat every animal with the same care and respect I give my own. I have a flexible schedule and can work to fit you and your pet’s need. It’s possible I’m available if the fly but to be safe, 48 hours is best. Your pet’s safety and emotional wellbeing are my top priorities. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and calm under pressure, and I follow your routines exactly to help your pet stay grounded while you’re away. Here’s what you can expect from me: • Attentive, consistent care I stay fully present with your pet — no distractions, no rushing. I observe behavior, energy levels, and anything unusual, and I always communicate clearly with you. • Secure, mindful handling I double-check gates, doors, and leashes before and after every visit. I do not do off-leash walks unless we are in a secure, fully fenced area. • Respect for your home I leave things exactly as I found them and ensure everything is locked and safe when I leave. • Comfort-focused care I follow your pet’s preferred routines, walking styles, feeding instructions, and any sensitivities they have. For shy or anxious animals, I move slowly, speak softly, and let them set the pace. • Transparent communication You’ll receive honest updates, photos, and notes from each visit so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for you to feel completely confident that your animals — and your home — are in safe, steady, trustworthy hands.

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. I have a 2 year old Irish wolfhound shepherd mix, loves all animals and I have 2 toddlers ages 3 and 2 who are also great around animals.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Castle Hayne

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.

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

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
