About: Hello, I’m Cassidy, I’ve had dogs of my own and many years of helping family and friends with their animals. Animals as we know are the best and I’d be more than happy to help anyone out with theirs. I’m currently working a job at night, therefore throughout the day, I am free and ready to help anytime! I can be flexible and work around your schedules and mine. Your pet is my top priority when taking this job and I will ensure a safe and fun visit for your fur babies. I will listen to what needs to be done and complete the task.
“Alexandra and her husband came over to meet my dachshund to make sure she is comfortable with them- they were very sweet and caring towards her I would definitely book them again:)”
“Abigail was great. Set up a pre visit meeting and had excellent communication. She showed up exactly when scheduled, took Ida for a walk and played in the backyard. She also left a great description oh her visit. Highly recommend.”
“Megan is caring and professional, a fantastic help, and a patient kitty whisperer! We were gone for the holidays and she even brought in a box delivery we didn't know about.”
“Melanie and Addison, thank you so much for watching my dogs over the weekend. Your communication and notes were nice to work with, and I really appreciate the care and attention you gave them.”
“Jenna did an excellent job of taking care of Farrah. She was great about communicating and sent us pictures. She was also able to do a couple extra drop ins on very short notice when our flights were cancelled and we were stuck out of town. Would certainly recommend Jenna and would book again!”
About: For all my life I’ve always enjoyed taking care and helping animals. Whether it be a wild bird or baby rabbit to a domestic dog, cat, or parrot to animals such as a chicken or a horse. I have many years of experience with many different animals, breeds, species, etc. I tend to be very organized, clean, and tidy. I also hold to a schedule. Whatever it may be, I will try to accommodate the best I can. Pet care works very well with me being retired and available at the owners need for their companion. Whether it be Daily or weekly or monthly whatever is needed, I will accommodate. I will be able to watch and tend to your pet in your home or your yard or neighborhood. I have the convenience of traveling where I need to be.
“Renee was great with my two dogs. They were able to get outside on what would have otherwise been some very long kenneled days. They enjoyed playing outside and getting their dinners at a normal time. I would highly recommend Renee for anyone needing some help. I plan to rebook if I ever have to leave my dogs behind again.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs of all types for 5 years. I currently own a Rottweiler and 2 German Shepards. I love to take dogs on walks and my husband is a fantastic bather. I can accommodate all breeds, shapes and sizes and can care for even the most of need of care. I have a large yard with a small dog friendly pool for them to play in during the hot days. I have a full time job. I am available most evenings and weekends. Weekends I can board all day and during the week I could sit after 4PM. I have a fenced in yard and a dog pool to keep fur babies cool during the hot days. I have a small bathing area with temperature controls, I can also dry the dogs with a blow dryer.
About: All my life I've had all kinds of animals. And all my life there has always been at least a dog or more of all sizes in my household. I am a stay at home mom so being there for you pet is like a walk in the park (or literally). You know your pup is in good hands 😁 I have plenty of references that can reassure you I am a big animal person. I loved volunteering when I was a teenager and almost became a vet but chose the art lifestyle until the mom lifestyle choose me.
About: Open for appointments for the summer 2026!💗 -22 years old college student at ECSU - Experience in caring for dogs, cats, & farm animals 🐔 -Future Ultrasound Technician 🤍 I am a full-time student and I usually end classes between 12-3 pm. I am completely free in the evenings and nights to take care of your furry friends as you get things done and enjoy your day! I have a fenced yard with lots of space for your dog to run around. In the home, there is space as well and my little sister who loves dogs! I will also be there the entire time keeping your furry friend company and safe. On campus, we have a huge field for your dog to play!
About: 40+ years’ experience caring for and loving dogs of all ages. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior dogs and even those in their prime with plenty of energy. I am experienced with administering medicine if needed and caring for those with special needs. My husband and I have always had our own fur babies (toy and standard poodles), but do not have any currently. Can host only NON-SHEDDING BREEDS, due to family allergies. Must be house broken/trained (to potty outside), with the exception of puppies. I am retired, so I’m always here to give extra cuddles, potty breaks, play time and walks. I really love their company! Tell me their routine while at home with you and I will do my best to ensure it stays the same when in my care. We have a large fenced yard with shade in a small and quiet subdivision. Our home is two story so plenty of room for playing and naps. If they do not care stairs, I will ensure stay on the main floor. Our neighborhood is perfect for walks. I have crates if they are crate trained and you prefer that, but that is not necessary unless that is your preference. Being on the furniture or bed in our home is fine with me too. I give extra special attention if they are nervous for any reason such as thunderstorms, loud noises (such as fireworks on a holiday). I am very attentive and adapt to small things such as if they just don't like going out in the rain. I always send daily updates including photos, videos & text throughout their stay.
About: I have always loved and been surrounded by dogs growing up. I'm looking for some fur babies to spoil. I would love to take them for walks or just leisurely relax on porch if they prefer. Happy to snuggle up and watch a movie. If they enjoy belly rubs or playing fetch give me a call. I work from home so I am here most of the day to provide love and affection to your pets. They also will enjoy being able to roam free while I'm here. However, on a few occasions I may leave for 3-4 hrs for a client meeting. Presently only taking non-aggressive pets. I'm happy to pickup or drop off your pup if needed. Only willing to do house sitting in a non-smoking home and fully Air conditioned/heated. My schedule is accommodating so I'm open to last minute bookings and can guarantee quality time with your pet. Please feel free to text or call. Look forward to meeting and getting to know your pup. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for sitting most weekdays and weekends just let me know what days you need. I will be happy to take your dog for a walk on a leash during the day or let them run around in a fenced yard if you have one. I can easily crate them if you need me to.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Elizabeth City on Rover is $28 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 778 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Elizabeth City. 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 Elizabeth City 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 Elizabeth City. On Rover:
- 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% 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.
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.
