“Chloe was amazing with my dog! She was super communicative, reliable, and treated my dog like her own! She was clearly experienced with dogs and truly seems to enjoy spending time with animals. I will be rebooking with her any time I need care for Juno!”
“Ashlie is an absolute sweetheart and I loved all her photos she sent....made me feel better about leaving our old Cat!!! I will definitely call on her services again!!”
“Shiloh was great! She sent in pictures while I was away and remembered everything we went over when we met at my house. It allowed me to enjoy my time out of town without a worry. Already asked her to watch them again in the future :)”
About: I have two dogs that I walk and care for each day for 10 years. I have fostered dogs in the past of various ages and breeds from puppies to senior dogs. I am a recent UNCW graduate taking a semester off and a dad who is available during school hours. Happy and excited to play with and walk your dogs! I have two senior dogs that I care for everyday so I understand when a dog has specific needs and requirements. I read and follow instructions for each pet!
“Kirstie was so great to work with! She was very communicative and responsive before and during her visit with my pup, and stayed longer to make sure he went to the bathroom before leaving him. My pup was so well cared for and it was comforting to know he was in great hands!”
“I've rebooked Amanda a few times now and she's always very caring and flexible. When my power went out she adjusted her check-in to much earlier the next day to make sure the auto feeders were still ok. Very responsive and respectful; will continue to rebook!”
About: As someone who’s herself had every breed from a Golden Retriever, to a Poodle, to a Great Dane- I’m no stranger to big and little dogs! I’m happy to care for and play with your dog or puppy at anytime. I love to incorporate fetch or tug-of-war time, as well as anything water-based! I’m currently available on Friday afternoons, Saturdays, and Sunday for any pet needs you might have! I’m flexible with my schedule, just let me know when any changes in availability come up and I can adjust. I live in a one bedroom apartment near the Riverwalk without any fur babies at the moment, so your animal has my full attention! Pets are also allowed on my furniture if so desired.
About: Hi! I’m Ally, and I’ve always had such a big love for animals! I previously worked at Dogtopia, a dog daycare, where I spent my days caring for dogs of all different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I was responsible for supervising playgroups, making sure everyone was safe, and giving each dog the attention and care they needed. That experience taught me so much about working with different dogs and understanding their behaviors. I also had to take a course to know learn behaviors and when to read their responses, as well as when to know when they are all types of sick or injuries. I genuinely love spending time with animals and will always treat your pets like they’re my own! I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone, and I would love to be someone you can trust to keep them happy, safe, and loved while you’re away! I’m currently a college student here in Wilmington and also play soccer! My schedule is pretty flexible outside of classes and practices i have morning practice that ends at 9 and then only one in person class on mondays. So I have time throughout the week and on weekends to care for your pets. I love spending time with animals and would be more than happy to work with you to find times that fit both of our schedules! I’ll always make sure your pets get the time, love, and attention they deserve! Your pet’s safety and happiness will always be my top priority! With my previous experience working at Dogtopia, I’ve learned how important it is to understand each dog’s personality and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll always respect your space and follow any routines or instructions you have for them. Whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just giving them some extra love and attention, I’ll make sure they’re well taken care of! I also love sending pictures and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pets are happy and safe while you’re away!
“Sophie made sure to keep us updated with messages and photos at each of her visits. She was caring with all 3 of our doggies and made sure to follow all instructions. We will use Sophie again for pet sitting!”
About: I love animals I love taking care of them. I love having their responsibility of making sure they are happy and healthy. I love cats and dogs, especially! I’m currently in school so I would only be available in the afternoons after 4 pm on weekdays sometimes earlier and till 10 pm. On weekends I am available all day! I take my dogs out on walks when I see them at the door. I make sure they are fed breakfast lunch and dinner. For my cat I take care of her by providing food and changing litter and when it’s time for her insulin shot I proved the proper dosage!
“Debbie was a lifesaver! We somewhat last minute needed a sitter for our pup and she was quick to respond to my messages. She even managed to squeeze in a visit to meet us before we left town!”
About: I have grown up around animals and am experienced taking care of puppies to senior dogs. I have spent the last couple of years learning more about what makes a dog stay healthy and happy. I understand how a pet is a member of your family or your whole world so I will treat them as such. They deserve to be cared for at the standard they would be by you and I will take that responsibility seriously. I have my own dog at home and sometimes life gets busy and I need others to help me. I enjoy doing the same for others by dropping in, walking your dog, or watching them overnight. I have a very dog friendly apartment with its own walking trail to take your pet on a walk. I also have balcony’s overlooking the trail that dogs enjoy sitting on and watching the activity outside. I do have my own dog who is crate trained but he also always wants to play with other dogs. I can keep the dogs separated in my home, or out loose depending on your preference. I have no problem sharing furniture and couches with a fur baby because their comfort is my priority.
About: I have always loved taking care of pets for as long as I can remember. I have worked as a kennel technician for over 2 years, and have fallen in love with providing special care towards animals. There, I create safe play groups, feed, walk, play, and of course, clean! I will make sure to pay close attention to any special needs your pet may have. Accommodating to your dogs energy level, temperament, age, and health is very important to me. I will ensure to pay very close attention to any issues or concerns I may see while spending time with your pup. I believe maintaining a clean and tidy environment is important to an animals health. I will provide updates with messages and pictures about our time together. I look forward to hanging out and connecting with you and your pet! I am currently a college student, working an odd schedule. I will try to accommodate accordingly to whatever fits best for you. I make your pets needs and care a #1 priority, next to school work of course. I have 2 dogs of my own, Luna (labradoodle), who I have trained since she was a puppy, and Lacy (French Bulldog), who I am currently training (she is 5 months old). Although I do not have professional training experience, I will say I put all my patience into providing simple tasks that can better your dogs skills. Whether if it’s during walks, crate time, or a simple sit and stay, I will provide my best efforts for your pup to succeed in these things. Along with training, I always make sure to spend quality time with my puppies because we are what’s most important to them. I believe playtime is very important to keeping a dog young and healthy! In any clients home, I make sure to spend as much quality time with the clients dog to build a strong connection.

I am happy to make time to care for your pets and their needs With clear communication of your expectations, I am respectful of your home and your pet based on their needs and yours. I am happy to walk, play, and crate them at my visits.
About: I have taken care of pets since I was young. Being a Boston terrier owner, plus having two cats has made my love for pets grow so much. In the past I have sitted for retrievers, labs, cats, doodles, and more. I would love to watch, walk, feed, and give your animal the love and attention they deserve when you are unable to! I am a sophomore year College student and have plenty of free time to watch your pups and pets! Feel free to reach out whether you’re looking for check ins or full days!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hightsville
Gabi did a wonderful job! She agreed to help us close to the time for us to leave and our other pet sitter became unavailable. My cats were well taken care of and she made sure they were doing okay even when they were shy and hiding. I will definitely be asking for Gabi's help again in the future!
Jennifer was incredible! I feel beyond lucky to have found her. She was so patient, considerate, and gentle while caring for my very anxious cat. She provided frequent and thorough updates, and she was extra diligent and patient with his medication routine. I knew my cat was well taken care of, and I deeply appreciated the chance to travel and feel at ease knowing his needs were met.
Madison was great with my dog! She was able to help me out on pretty short notice and was super communicative the entire time. She was really willing to help with everything needed, and I felt comfortable knowing he was in good hands. I’d definitely have her watch him again!
This was my first time using rover and nevaeh made it super easy. My animals are pretty skittish to new people but she still managed to send photos of them and consistent updates on how they are doing. I would definitely recommend using her services if you’re looking for a trustworthy person!!
Brittnay took really good care of my cats. I booked her for four months while I was in the hospital and she was communicative and sent me pictures and even let me talk to my cats on FaceTime. She was courteous and tidy. She went above and beyond. I knew my babies were well taken care of. I would highly recommend her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Hightsville is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 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.
As of November 2026, there are 1,341 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hightsville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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.

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 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.
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.
