“Cortnee was an awesome dog sitter! I have a hard time trusting people with my pup but she was great! She was so kind and patient with my dog. She was also great at communicating with me and sending pictures!! 100% would recommend her!”
About: I’ve watched pets since I was 13. I love walking, sitting, and playing will all kinds of animals. I value animal care and consider pet sitting/walking my number one priority when I am with them I’m home in Ohio during breaks and Wilmington NC during the school year and I am free most days and especially weekends. I don’t work while I’m home so holidays are good for me. I care for pets by sticking to their normal routines—feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of love. Whether in my home or yours, I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy, and I always keep owners updated.
About: I believe pet sitting should be more than simply feeding a pet and taking them outside. I want every pet to have a safe, happy and personalized day that fits their own routine, personality and needs. I offer personalized care plans with walks, playtime, enrichment, meals, quiet rest, cuddles and plenty of attention. I can also provide photo and video updates throughout the day so you can see how your pet is doing while you are away. For dogs, I can create a “Doggy Day” routine including morning pickup when available, a park walk, play and exercise, mealtime, quiet time and another walk before bringing them home. I also offer overnight stays, boarding, house sitting, drop in visits and individual walks. For cats and small pets, I can follow their normal routine in their own home, including feeding, fresh water, litter/cage care, playtime and attention. Every pet is different, so before a booking I want to learn what makes your pet comfortable, what they love, what they dislike and exactly how you want me to care for them. I have a flexible schedule and can arrange pet care around your needs. I offer weekday and weekend care, including walks, drop-in visits, daytime care, overnight stays and boarding when available. I especially enjoy creating personalized daytime routines for pets whose parents are working or traveling. Depending on the service and my availability, I can provide morning pickup, daytime care, walks, playtime, meals, rest time, photo updates and evening drop-off. Before each booking, I like to learn your pet’s normal schedule and follow their routine as closely as possible. My goal is to make the experience comfortable and stress-free for both you and your pet. You don’t have to worry about simply leaving your pet somewhere — I’ll create a little plan for their day. 🐾When available, I can pick up your pet in the morning and bring them home in the evening, so you don’t have to rearrange your workday.🐾 I take safety and trust very seriously. Before each booking, I like to learn about your pet’s personality, routine, habits, triggers and any special instructions. I provide a calm, clean and comfortable environment and never leave a pet unattended when close supervision is needed. I carefully follow the owner’s feeding, walking and care instructions. For stays in my home, I only accept pets that are a good fit for my environment and schedule. For house sitting, I respect the client’s home and keep the pet’s normal routine as much as possible. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you can feel comfortable knowing how your pet is doing.

“Leli was the perfect fit for our four legged family members. She played with them outside until they were exhausted and made sure they were well taken care. They were definitely not fighting for attention because she made sure they had all of it. Our dogs took a quick liking to Leli and were over the moon everytime she stopped back in! Highly recommend!”
About: Hello! I have been dog sitting on Rover for several years now and I absolutely love it. Some facts about me are that I’m active in my church, love exploring, being in nature, and drinking coffee with friends! I grew up owning dogs and I love them! I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes, and staying overnight and taking them on walks. I am a timely person who will be careful to remember your specific needs and instructions in taking care of your dog. I have experience in staying alert around other dogs and either making sure they will get along before approaching or crossing the street. I’m happy to take your dog for walks and potty breaks throughout the day, and most of all give your dog lots of love, cuddles and good company! I look forward to meeting you and getting to know you and your dog(s)! My work schedule is flexible and I’m not usually gone for longer than 3 to 4 hours. If you have any questions or requests, don’t hesitate to ask! I will care for your pets by giving them lots of pets and taking them on walks. I will be attentive to your pets needs and do everything in a timely manner because I care about caring for your pet! I will also send pictures and updates 2x a day.
About: I have had dogs all my life! I started watching other people’s animals when I was 15 and I also worked on a farm during that time. I worked as a veterinary technician for 2 years and have a keen eye when it comes to dogs! I rescued my own dog almost 4 years ago and life has been great with him! I would give your animal the same care I would give my own! And let me tell you … my boy miiight be a bit spoiled! I currently work Monday through Friday and I am away from the house 8-5. On weekends I would be able to give the pups my time and attention. I am very active and enjoy bringing my dog on quiet trails or out to the park. My dog River is a chihuahua mix that is very good with other animals. If I am to come to you, it would either just be me or River (my dog) and myself depending on what your animal is most comfortable with! You and your home will be treated with respect at all times. We give lots of snuggles and scheduled feedings, and I am fine with administering medication. Your dog will feel like they are on vacation when they are with me!
About: I own and operate my own pet sitting business, where I’ve built a loyal client base of 50+ families. This experience has given me hands-on knowledge with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I truly love what I do and take pride in making pets feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I am currently a business student at the University of North Carolina Wilmington, and I enjoy spending my time outside of classes caring for pets. I have a flexible schedule and am available for pet sitting, drop-ins, and walks. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I prioritize clear communication, reliability, and a personalized approach for each pet. I follow all care instructions closely, and stay alert to any changes in behavior or needs.
About: I’ve had and taken care of many pets since i was about 14. I love animals and have a passion for them which is why I do it. I recently got a high energy boy dog so he is with me for boarding/walks but LOVES to play with other animals and is the sweetest boy. I can always drop in/take your baby on walk without him if needed. I have a boyfriend who lives with me so is at my home for boarding (he’s also a huge animal lover) but won’t be with me on walks, sitting, etc. I have a house with a large fenced in backyard for potty breaks! I hope you choose me to take care of your fur baby while you’re away! I take my dog on walks and play with him/throw the ball for him MULTIPLE times a day because he’s incredibly energetic. We’re always outside on some sort on adventure. I ensure that I have an eye on the animal at all times especially when outside. I’m more than happy to take extra precautions to ensure that your fur baby is safe!
About: I always had a dog growing up so I am very familiar with dogs and the care they require. In high school I got my own puppy who I raised and trained by myself. In addition to this I have my own cat so I have experience with both cats and dogs. I’m home for the summer and have full availability! I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I have plenty of time to give pets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I would like to care for each pet exactly as instructed by the client to ensure the pet is comfortable. If allowed by the client, I enjoy taking pets outdoors for walks, exercise, and fresh air whenever appropriate

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Hampstead is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $25 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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. 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.
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.

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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
