About: I have grown up around dogs, my entire life, and have had responsibilities to take care of them since I was a child. Neighbors and roommates have trusted me with their overnight care for 15 years now. I am excited to start dogsitting regularly to gain more experience and continue working while I’m in school. When I am with my family, dogs are a part of the daily routine. I understand the importance of incorporating their needs with my schedule, because they are a member of the house. When I am home with my parents, dogs are a part of the family routine. When I am watching my roommate’s dog, she stays with me most of the day when I am home and follows my routine.

Ashton was amazing! She stepped in last minute to care for my two cats and made the whole process stress free. I appreciated her quick communication and the care she gave my cats while we were away. I would definitely book again! Thank you so much.

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!

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who knows that every pup has their own personality, quirks, and needs. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, a senior needing a little extra patience, or somewhere in between, I’ll care for them like they’re my own. I’ve completed in-home pet sitting for an elderly Husky with incontinence issues, so I’m comfortable with senior dogs, medication routines, accidents, and providing the extra attention they deserve. I also cared for my own dog through two battles with liver cancer, which taught me the importance of compassion, consistency, and paying attention to the little things. These days, I’m the proud dog mom of a young pup who’s finally made it through the “terrible twos,” so I’m no stranger to energetic dogs, training, and keeping them mentally and physically engaged. I also have a sweet red-nose Pit Bull who is an absolute angel at home—but definitely reminds me to stay on my toes during walks because she loves to pull! Thanks to her, I’m confident handling strong, enthusiastic walkers. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll make sure they get plenty of love, exercise, playtime, and updates so you can relax knowing they’re in caring, capable hands. I can’t wait to meet your furry family! Pet care is already a big part of my daily life! I’m a full-time dog mom and a fitness trainer, which gives me a very flexible schedule. Because I create my own hours, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, feeding schedules, potty breaks, and giving pets the attention they deserve. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze into my day—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and make a priority. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my goal is to keep their routine as comfortable and stress-free as possible. I live in an apartment community with plenty of safe walking paths and a beautiful pond, so daily walks are a regular part of our routine. Every “special walk” includes a stop by the community center, where pups get a well-earned treat (with your permission, of course!). I’ll also make sure they have plenty of playtime, fresh water, affection, and lots of updates so you know they’re happy and well cared for while you’re away.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Castle Hayne on Rover is $18.9 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 1,354 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.

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:

  • 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.
