“Sandy was great! I have a special needs pup and when I returned home, he was sound asleep and very content. I could tell that she pampered both of my babies while we were away as she sent many updates and photos. I highly recommend Sandy to take care of pets if you need to travel.”

“Colleen was definitely a God send, she took excellent care of our Great Dane staying with him during our 7day vacation. She went above and beyond making sure to send us pictures to reassure us he was ok. Duke will definitely be seeing more of her.”

About: I have had a lifelong love of animals and have been caring for pets from a very young age. I grew up with both dogs and cats and learned early on the importance of being responsible, patient, gentle, and attentive to their needs. As an adult, I have continued to care for my own pets, including many cats and a rabbit, giving me experience with different animals, personalities, routines, and care requirements. What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give to every animal. I don’t see pet sitting as simply feeding an animal and letting them out—I believe pets need companionship, affection, playtime, exercise, and individual attention. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I am dependable, patient, observant, and very attentive to changes in an animal’s behavior or routine. I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own and understand how important it is for owners to have someone they can trust with a beloved member of their family. I work part-time, which gives me an extremely flexible schedule and allows me to make pet care a priority. I am available every day of the week and can accommodate visits, walks, feeding schedules, and other care needs at various times throughout the day. Because my schedule is flexible, I can provide consistent and dependable care without having to rush through visits. I am able to adjust my routine around each pet’s individual needs and schedule, whether they need regular walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or overnight care. I enjoy spending time with animals and would be happy to make caring for pets an important part of my daily routine. I have three cats of my own, so I understand the responsibility and commitment involved in providing daily care for pets. I make sure they always have fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, a safe and comfortable environment, and plenty of attention and affection. I also spend time playing with them and providing enrichment to keep them happy and engaged. If caring for someone else’s pet in my home, I would follow the owner’s instructions carefully and maintain the pet’s normal feeding, bathroom, exercise, medication, and sleeping routines as much as possible. I would provide a calm, safe space where the pet can feel comfortable and would give them plenty of individual attention. I would also take into consideration their personality and comfort level, especially if they are nervous or adjusting to a new environment. Because I have cats, I would also make sure any visiting pet is safely separated when necessary and that introductions are handled appropriately. My priority would always be the safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet in my care.
“So happy we found her. She was able to watch 6 pups for us on very short notice over Christmas. Excellent communication and did a great job. Went above expectations. Sent pictures of our fur babies every day. We will most definitely be using her again.”

“Kelle was absolutely incredible with my two pitties! I trust Kelly immensely with my boys and all her pictures and updates allowed me to enjoy my time out of town even more. Could not recommend her enough!”
“Natasha was very sweet and kind. Took good care of my pups. All 4 got to sleep in bed with a human (lol) instead of their cage for the night. She cleaned up after herself and respected our home. Definitely will use her again and would recommend her to others.”

About: I have never had a moment in my life where I did not have multiple pets at a time. My household is very pet friendly and with that I have learnt how to care for them properly! I love animals of all kinds and have been relied on for many different pet sitting/caring occasions. Along with my full-time job, I work part-time at a pet store where I have learned a great deal on different techniques and tactics on how to properly care for, meet, and love animals. Through this store I have also gained many training opportunities where I can educate myself further on pet care and nutrition! I currently work full-time. Therefore, I am the perfect candidate for lunch-time visits, and night feedings, walks, drop-ins, etc. as my schedule in the morning of the day is pretty filled. I am pretty open on weekends! Having two dogs of my own, I know what all goes into caring for a pet! Depending on your needs, I am able and experienced in feeding, walking, crating (if desired), playing, etc.

About: Animals have always held a very special place in my heart. I grew up surrounded by both dogs and cats, and caring for animals has been something I’ve genuinely loved for as long as I can remember. To me, pets aren’t just animals—they’re family, and they deserve to be treated with the same love, patience, and kindness we would want for our own. I have over 15 years of dog-sitting experience and have had the privilege of caring for dogs with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, routines, and individual needs. I’m also a trained dog groomer, which has given me valuable hands-on experience with safe handling, grooming, hygiene, and understanding the little things that can make a pet more comfortable and happy. I’ve also completed veterinary assistant training, giving me additional knowledge and confidence when it comes to providing attentive and responsible care. When your pets are in my care, I treat them as if they were my own. I know how hard it can be to leave your furry family members with someone else, and I want you to have complete peace of mind knowing they’re safe, loved, comfortable, and receiving plenty of attention while you’re away. Every pet is different, and I believe their care should be too. Whether your dog is happiest going on long walks, playing and exploring, relaxing on the couch, or simply getting lots of cuddles and companionship, I’m happy to follow their routine and give them the kind of care that makes them feel secure and loved. I’m also happy to accommodate special routines, individual needs, or behavioral quirks that make your pet unique. My goal is not only to care for your pets, but to build a trusting relationship with them—and with you. Your pets’ happiness, safety, and well-being will always be my top priorities. I would absolutely love the opportunity to meet you and get to know your furry family. I’ll do everything I can to make their time with me feel like a loving home away from home. 🐶🐱❤️ I currently work part-time, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to spend plenty of quality time caring for your pets. I’m also in the process of starting my own in-home grooming business, so I’m able to build my schedule around the needs of the animals in my care. When I care for your pets, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re in loving, trustworthy hands. I understand that your pets are family, and leaving them in someone else’s care can be stressful. My goal is to make that time away as easy and worry-free for you as possible. While staying in your home, I will respect your space, follow your house rules, and keep things clean and cared for. I’ll also make sure your pets’ normal routines are maintained as closely as possible, because I know how important consistency and familiarity can be to them. If anything unexpected comes up, I will contact you right away. I’m also happy to accommodate special routines, medications, behavioral needs, or anything else that helps your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Most importantly, I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, attention, and plenty of love. Your peace of mind and your pet’s happiness and wellbeing will always be my top priorities. I want you to come home knowing your pets were not only cared for, but genuinely loved while you were away.
“Sarah was awesome. One of our cats had recently been sick, and Sarah provided updates and monitoring. She even managed to administer medication to a cat that doesn’t easily trust people. House was left just like she found it. Will definitely be using her for future needs”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 274 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Emerald Isle. 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 Emerald Isle 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 Emerald Isle 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 Emerald Isle 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 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.
