About: I have a 1 year old dachshund so I have gotten pretty used to caring for dogs especially puppies! She gets along with all types of dogs! I work part time and the other parts of my day include hanging out with my dog and taking her on walks! I like to get a lot of exercise in so i enjoy long or short walks! I have a small fenced in backyard and love to engage with the dogs and I think it will be fun to teach them little tricks! My home is super dog friendly and have a neighborhood to take them on walks!
“Megan was super accommodating and helpful in continuing my dog’s physical therapy after his recent surgery. On first meet up my dog overwhelmingly responded positively to her and absolutely loved her company. There were several tasks I asked her to complete to continue his PT and she did all of them with no issues. Needless to say, she has been a life saver ??????”

About: I’ve been loving on animals since I was little. Grew up with a cat, and now have 2 smaller dogs and a kitten that I care after! I’ve been working as a kennel technician for 2 years at a local Boarding & Daycare facility..being there has taught me to be familiar with distributing medication and prepping meals. I enjoy loving on all the animals, taking them on walks daily, and having endless playtime! Since moving to the area not too long ago, I am currently in the market of looking for work but unemployed at the moment. My time is pretty wide open! Caring for the pets has everything to do with what the owners needs/wants are! Loving on the animal is my number 1 priority whether that be giving treats, pets, walks, throwing the tennis ball, or simply just soaking up some sun!
About: I am a 23 year old animal lover servicing the Wilmington area. I have had animals from a very young age and have experience with bunnies, cats, dogs, fish, and small animals. I am very new to the Wilmington area and still in between jobs right now so my schedule is pretty flexible at the moment until I find something more stable. I take pride in caring for animals through my entire life. I have had my own animals since the day I was born, and often watch family friends and neighbors animals. I have lots of experience when it comes to animals as I have a large number of pets myself.
“This was our first time using Kristin to watch our dog Harlow. Kristin was responsive and took extra time the first visit to make sure our timid dog was comfortable and all her needs were met. I highly recommend Kristin if you are in need of a dog sitter!”

About: I have taken care of many breeds of dogs to include small and large breeds. I’m available for housesitting as well as drop in visits and walks on short notice.I’m excited to get your baby out and get them some exercise. I am currently laid off and have open availability. I would love the opportunity to help with your babies needs while you’re on vacation or just for a walk. I care for my two pets in my home every day. I am a trustworthy individual who loves animals.

About: Hi! I’m Emma — dog mom of 3, lifelong dog lover, and small-dog boarding specialist in Wilmington, NC. I have three friendly small dogs of my own (Cavaliers + a Cocker Spaniel), so your pup will always have built-in friends, supervised playtime, and a home-based environment instead of an overcrowded kennel. Taking care of dogs is just part of my everyday life! I work from home, so I’m with my dogs pretty much all day. We keep a regular routine of potty breaks, playtime, and light training throughout the day. On weekends, we love to switch things up with a hike, a beach stroll, or grabbing a pup cup at our favorite coffee spot. Whether it’s a chill day at home or an adventure, I’m always focused on making sure the dogs in my care are happy, safe, and well-loved. Located in a safe, quiet Scotts Hill neighborhood with a fully fenced backyard for playtime. I only board 1-2 dogs at a time, so your pup will always get personal attention and care. They have the option to have their own cozy suite or stay in the same room as our resident pups, both with comfy bedding, toys, and all the essentials. Please note all pets are crated when unsupervised and overnight. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your dog feels right at home!
About: I’ve always connected well with animals, especially dogs. I’ve dog walked and watched others’ animals from a very young age. I was 22 when I decided to become a dog trainer. I was fortunate enough to attend one of the best programs in the country at Animal Behavior College, with a certificate in canine behavior therapy & a concentration in rehabilitating shelter dogs. I’m also qualified to train emotional support animals, which has been so rewarding. I chose this as a career path because of how much I genuinely love all living things. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends and give them the best care they could ask for! I own my own business, so I make my own schedule. I can tend to whatever schedule best suits the animals. I don’t have pets of my own, so that gives me even more flexibility. I always make sure I’m doing my best to care for animals, in any aspect of my life or career. I’m diligent in making sure their feeding, walking and play schedules are upheld promptly, and that their routines stay relatively in tact. This is one of the best things you can do to ease a pet’s anxiety about their owners being away. I work as a trainer, which means I’m happy to add on training sessions with your pet while they’re in my care, through my business if that’s something of interest. I’m very amenable to the specifications for each individual animal. Some dogs like to be given affection on the couch for a few minutes each day. Others might enjoy watching the birds in their yard for a while. I’m always happy to attune my care for each dog. When walking a dog, the quality of the walks are just as important as their frequency. Dogs require a certain level of mental stimulation each day, and ten minutes of sniffing is enough to satisfy most dog’s needs. They need the sniffing as much as the exercise. Your dog will be given ample time to sniff and “read the doggy newspaper”, as well as get some great exercise. I always make sure the animal has gotten everything that they need from the experience.
“I'm new to Rover and was wary about using this service. I'm so glad I did because Alissa made my experience so amazing. Alissa followed the care instructions and really put my mind at ease with sending pictures of the dogs. I highly recommend Alissa for those needing care for their animals and I will be rebooking with her in the future!”
“Sierra did a great job watching our two cats. They warmed up to her remarkably fast and she was quick to reply to all questions while we were out of town. We'll definitely be using her again.”
About: I’m Korin, I offer dog sitting, walking and more. As a pet parent myself (2 cats, 1 dog) I know how important is to have someone you trust caring for your animals when you are at work, traveling or cannot be home. Would love to meet and care for your pet! I have over 10 years experience caring for friends and family members dogs while out of town, or away for the day. This includes: overnight stays, walking, feeding, playing, bathing and administering medication. Can provide references upon request. Please reach out if you have any questions or would like to know more! I work remotely full time from our home and I have a very flexible work schedule which allows me to walk my dog 2-3x during the day. She is able to free roam and enter and exit the backyard as she pleases. I have a large fenced in backyard that’s perfect for play. Our dog and cats sleep in our bed, but all have animal beds and their own spaces. As a puppy we crated our dog, but now she is allowed to free roam the house when we are out. Comfortable crating or free roaming depending on the dog.
“Sara was fantastic! This is my first time using Rover and she did not disappoint. She was so helpful and sent me great photos of my little kitty. She was on time and so lovely! She made me feel so at ease and I will absolutely use her again! Thank you Sara!”
“Gavin was great! We needed a last minute sitter for our big hound dog Beau who can be reactive to other dogs. Gavin was confident and experienced with handling Beau. I would highly recommend Gavin!”
About: I’m a mother of two daughters and a grandmother of one grandson and I have my own Pomeranian though I don’t bring her to other pet sits. I’ve been around animals all my life having been raised on a farm for part of my adolescence. Animals feel comfortable around me. I’m new to the area and I’m looking to help out those in the area by doing something fun that I enjoy well providing some financial abundance for myself during my settling down in Wilmington. I’m an energy, healer, spiritual guide and Empowerment Coach Looking to help you help me in return :-) I won’t be caring for any dogs in my home, but I am more than happy to go to yours where I’m sure your pets would be most comfortable at while I care for them.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Hampstead 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.
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 Hampstead 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!
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.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Hampstead with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
