About: I’ve taken care of multiple animals throughout my life, such as dogs, cats, lizards, snakes, ducks, and chickens. I’m very reliable and will make sure to follow directions on how you want your animal taken care of. I am currently a student and have a part time job, but I also have a lot of free time on my hands making this type of job perfect for me. I grew up around cats and dogs growing up and care deeply for animals. For animals I board I like to do a meet and greet to let your animal get to know an unfamiliar place with you there. For dog sitting I like to do a meet and greet at the house or a nearby park to get to know your pet and so that I’m not a stranger to them when hanging with them.

“Glory is the best! We had a friend cancel as our dog sitter last minute and were extremely lucky that we found Glory through Rover before our trip! She responds extremely quickly, and took great care of my fur baby! We got pictures of him every day, and I felt so confident that he was comfortable, safe, and happy. We will definitely be using Glory to watch our dog again soon.”

“Jessica was able to accommodate Spud last minute for a trip I needed to make. I will definitely request here assistance in the future. Spud was excited to see me when I picked him up, but when we got home he seemed exhausted and wanted to rest which was awesome so that I could get some rest in myself. Thanks Jessica!”

“Amy was great with Luna. Every picture that she sent Luna looked very relaxed and happy. It’s not often you find someone who wants to take care of your dog the way you do. It made our vacation so much better knowing that our little fur baby was taken care of. I would definitely use Amy again and recommend her to anyone who’s looking for someone you can trust to take care of your fur baby like you would!”

About: I’m happy to serve Carteret County. I’ve grown up around all sorts of animals - dogs, cats, horses, chickens, etc. I’ve always loved animals. I also have experience with animals with special needs. I am interested in walking dogs and checking in on pets. I work full time, but am available on my days off and in mornings or afternoons after my regular job. I am available most weekends. For now, I plan to do drop ins and walk dogs. Safety is top priority. I believe in meet and greets before working with animals to make sure the animal and owner is comfortable. I work full time and available most evenings and on my days off. Message me to check my availability. I am usually pretty flexible with my schedule! I am currently not able to accept animals in my own home. I may be able to offer this service in the future, but not at this time.

About: I have multi-dog household experience. There has always been at least two dogs in my house growing up, they’re my favorite animals. I have a chocolate Labrador named Whiskey, and a Schnoodle named Max. My chihuahua sadly passed away. I love to meet and have other dogs in my house. I’m comfortable administering oral medication if needed. I’ll send daily photo updates. I’m a stay at home mom so there’s always time to care and play with our furry kids. I wake up between 6-8am and go to bed by 10pm. When I need to leave the house to run errands, I don’t take longer than 3 hours at a time, so I make sure my pets are taken outside for potty and water breaks. There is a fenced area in the back of our house, and a big open area. I can take them out on a leash if needed or crate them if they’re not house trained.

About: I’ve moved a lot and everywhere I went my one job that stayed consistent was pet sitting. I started watching family friends and neighbors pets at age 10. Pets have been a very big part of my life since I was little. I do want you to know the price could be higher or lower depending on the specific situation. I’m currently working from my home . I’m available for boarding 7 days a week. I’m at my house full time and would love to have some furry friends over. I live on base, which has dog parks and is very safe. I take walks around my neighborhood frequently so you don’t have to worry about your pet not going out. I don’t have a big fenced in backyard but it is good for small dogs. I have a kitten who loves dogs and cats. He’s very sweet and lovable. I work part-time from my home so i’ll have plenty of time to play,cuddle, and walk your furry friend. My job allows me to choose my own hours so i’m able to make your pet feel loved when they are here. I have a small fenced backyard good for small dogs. I also have a very friendly kitten who loves dogs and cats. There are a lot of dog parks by me along with a lot of places to explore.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

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.

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.

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 .

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 .

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in NC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
