Callie is a reliable, hardworking, kind person- and she absolutely loves animals! Our almost 2 year old golden retriever Rooney had wonderful beach walks and “ Bark Park” time with Callie while “Dad & Mom” enjoyed dinners out. We would highly recommend Callie for pet sitting or drop in visits. We look forward to having Callie watch Rooney on our next beach trip!

So happy we found Ashleigh! Just had our first drop in visit. It went great! Was comforting to know that Ashleigh broke up our pups’ day and left awesome notes and photos from the visit. She met with us the day before so the dogs could meet her with us and was and we could share their normal activities and play preferences. We’re in a unique situation were our pups have to be separated with a gate. It’s a very calm and controlled environment with the gates. But, without seeing it, that sound like a lot. Ashleigh gave us a chance and handled the pups great! We will definitely be requesting Ashleigh for our future sitter needs.

Suzanne was wonderful with my 4 cats!! I was out of the country but was confident that they were in good hands. The daily report cards she sent were awesome! I believe she may also have a career in pet photography! Every picture sent was great!! Much better than my own pictures of my cats. I will definitely be using Suzanne again in the future, as all my cats now love her! She my #1 choice!

Lexi is absolutely amazing! Polite and professional, Lexi was punctual and easy to communicate with which enabled my husband and I to enjoy our vacation knowing our dog was in great hands! We will certainly ask Lexi to watch our Lilly bear in the future and recommend her to anyone looking for a trusted pet sitter!

About: I have always grown up with animals and my love for them led me to a job at a pet resort. I was a kennel technician for 4 years which provided me great insight to care for all types of furry friends. I just graduated college from UNC Charlotte and home in Emerald Isle for the summer. Most days I workout and hang with my family so my schedule is pretty flexible. I always try to keep each pet’s routine as close as possible to what they’re used to because I know how stressful change can feel—especially for anxious pets. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive, and I make it my priority to provide comfort, consistency, and lots of love while they’re away from their parents.

About: For as long as I can remember, I have grown up with both dogs and cats! I have been surrounded by them whether it be them being my own pets( or should I say my own family members because let’s face it, they are our family), my relatives house and even my neighbors house when babysitting. I know it can be hard leaving your fur baby alone, I just hope that I can make them and you comfortable! I am a full time teacher at Camp Lejeune! I work Monday through Friday from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm so I am available weekdays after 5:45 pm and then all weekend long. I take hour lunches so if in a nearby neighborhood I can let them out during the day or frequently on the weekends! In order to keep you and them at the most comfortable, I am able to house sit and take care of them in the comfort of your own home. I am 100% honest so that everyone has a happy, healthy and most importantly and safe stay!

About: I absolutely love animals. I've had dogs and cats since I was 6. Since then I've help train a service dog and fostered many other dogs. I currently have three dogs: chihuahua mix, pug rat terrier mix, and a great Pyrenees. I currently am a personal trainer so I don’t have a set schedule. I will be able to let the pet outside or spend time with them in between clients. I can take the pets on daily walks, depending on their schedule and when they like to. I like to know where the food is and if they get treats for doing specific things.

Outstanding Cat Sitter — Above and Beyond! Rebekah was absolutely wonderful with our two cats, Sadie and Bella! During the five days Rebekah cared for our girls, we received updates twice a day, always with great photos and videos. Every message was thoughtful and “newsy,” and Rebekah never hesitated to respond whenever we reached out, which gave us the total peace of mind everyone wants while out of town. One of our cats, Sadie, worked herself into such a state that she developed diarrhea even before we left. When we let Rebekah know, she suggested adding pumpkin to Sadie’s diet—and voilà! Problem solved. We were so impressed by Rebekah’s attentiveness, knowledge, and genuine care for our cats. We came home to two happy, well‑cared‑for girls and couldn’t be more grateful. This was the first time we have used Rover or worked with Rebekah, but it absolutely won’t be the last. We highly recommend Rebekah and would book again in a heartbeat!

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.

About: Growing up, our house was basically a small zoo—dogs, cats, fish, bearded dragons, iguanas, snakes, and even gators! My little sister topped us all with a pet tarantula. 🐍🦎 In college, I happily added dog-sitting for my music directors’ pups to the mix. I work in hospitality, so my schedule is flexible and I’m happy to work with your needs—whether your pet has four legs, scales, fins, or a little extra attitude! Writing With the change of season, my work schedule is mainly weekends, with a few regular office-hour shifts mixed in. I also have some longer breaks during the day, which gives me flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and plenty of time to give your pets some attention. I’m happy to work around your schedule and your pet’s routine! I treat pet sitting like a girls’ night in—lots of attention, playtime, cuddles, and fun! I’m detail-oriented, follow routines carefully, and love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. 🐾💕

About: I have taken care of all types of animals my entire life. I’ve had many dogs and cats at the same time. I love animals with a passion. I am empathetic to their needs. I understand where certain behaviors develop and how to not only prevent them, but to remove them completely. I have experience in dog training (household, leash, media/film, etc.). I have trained puppies all the way to senior dogs. Being with animals is not a hobby for me; it is a lifestyle. I work part time and have plenty of time after 3pm to play with your pups or kitties! I will assess inquiries on a case by case basis dependent on my availability. I will follow whatever systems you have in place for your furry friend. I can go on walks, play in the backyard, crate if necessary, feed and give medications, etc. I also can make and deliver my premium dog and cat food that I make with 100% whole and mainly organic ingredients for an additional charge.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Emerald Isle on Rover is $26.09 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 562 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Emerald Isle. 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 Emerald Isle 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 Emerald Isle. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
