“Riley was great with our cats. It can be tough to handle 5 hungry babies at once, but she had no issues. She was able to care for our diabetic cat and give him his insulin injections at a timely manner, all while making sure he didn’t eat the other cat’s food. We would definitely hire her again in the future!”

“Mafe put me at ease when she came to meet my sweet senior dog! She provided him with morning and evening medications, followed all instructions for his care and gave him lots of love and attention. It is always hard to find someone who you feel comfortable leaving your dog with and she made his home visits special for him. I appreciated the updates and photos and my dog most definitely appreciated the love and care she provided while I was away from home.”

About: I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like royalty, even the dachshunds who judge from across the room! I’m big on play time, cuddles, walks and making sure your pet is comfortable while you’re away! I do currently work full time, but am remote 3 out of the 5 days a week making it easy to check in on your beloved pets at any time! My 7 year old lab, and 4 year old dachshund are treated not as pets, but as my children. They are literal humans if you ask me!

About: My experience into dog care started 9 years ago, and my time working with cats started less than a year later. My experience of both dogs with a hyper or dissociative personality and felines with bad temperament was mostly gained while working at various animal shelters. Some shelter dogs and cats are not temperamental on their own but sometimes will instinctively react to those who are being the aggressors, as is their nature. it's often very similar at dog parks- A Gathering of many unknown dogs, some likely to be reactive to others and always a few having chance of causing a fight. Something I keep in mind for safety every time I have an interaction with a dog I don't know while walking someone else's that I was entrusted the care of, is that other animals I don't know will always be unpredictable. Outside my charity work for shelters, for an even longer amount of time I've taken care of pets of many ages and breeds for family/friends going on 9 years now. I have handled many large breeds; Labradors, Huskies, Great Danes, German Shepards, Mastiffs. I have also worked with various medium and small sized breeds. My total 2 years of experience with puppies was spread out caring for and helping raise pups my sister had gotten. Between raising puppies and trying to work with pets giving me a hard time during the course of my many dog sitting jobs I have seen and learnt countless things about our furry friends! To list a few; common dog and cat habits, nutrition, toxic foods for dogs, signs of aggressive body language in pets, and abnormal behavior alongside possible causes. Any and all pet needs such as sitting, walking, etc. I'm available to do every day of the week, as I have a clear schedule for the time being. When at a client's house, if instructions are not already given to me I will ask the owner's typical routine with their pet and see what they want or need done for their dog or cat. I'd Also ask general house rules like backyard access, and if I could entertain the fuzzy friends with toys for enrichment.

About: Hi!! My name is Mac, and I am passionate about providing exceptional care for your beloved furry companions. With experience in pet care and a deep love for animals, I am confident that I would be the perfect fit for the job. I work at the Humane Society Of Eastern Carolina so caring for animals of all ages and temperaments is basically the best part of my everyday routine ! Pets bring immense joy and unconditional love into our lives, and I believe they deserve the best care possible. My commitment to their well-being is unwavering, as I understand the importance of creating a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for them. Throughout my career, I have worked with a wide range of pets, including dogs, cats,and small mammals. From daily walks, feeding, and grooming to administering medication and providing companionship, I am skilled in fulfilling all their needs. Additionally, I am well-versed in recognizing signs of distress, health issues, and handling emergency situations with calmness and efficiency. What sets me apart is my genuine empathy and connection with animals. I have an intuitive understanding of their behaviors, preferences, and moods, which allows me to tailor my care accordingly. I prioritize building trust and forming a bond with each pet, ensuring they feel secure and loved even when their owners are away. Furthermore, I am highly organized, dependable, and detail-oriented, ensuring that every pet's specific instructions and routines are followed diligently. I maintain open communication with pet owners, providing regular updates and addressing any concerns promptly. My passion for animals combined with my experience, reliability, and compassionate nature make me an ideal candidate for the role. Your pets' happiness and well-being are my top priorities, and I am dedicated to going above and beyond to provide them with exceptional care. I am excited for the opportunity to be your trusted pet caregiver and look forward to meeting your adorable companions. Let's create a harmonious and joyful experience for your pets together! Pet care seamlessly fits into my daily routine, as it has become an integral part of my life. I understand that pets require consistent care, attention, and love, and I prioritize their well-being alongside my own daily activities. From the moment I wake up, I ensure that feeding, exercise, and playtime are seamlessly integrated into my schedule. I work full time with the local Humane Society where taking care of little furry friends has basically become second nature to me, i have on pet of my own and often have fosters in and out of the house that i have developed a routine that allows me to still work full time and make sure they are taken care of! Whether it's a refreshing morning walk, engaging play sessions in the afternoon, or cozy cuddle time in the evening, I make sure to allocate dedicated moments throughout the day to cater to their needs. I often have ample time during my break, after my shift ends and on my off days where i could come and lend a helping hand! When caring for my clients' pets, I prioritize their well-being and strive to provide them with the same love and attention they receive at home. From the moment I meet them, I make an effort to establish trust and build a bond. I attentively listen to my clients' instructions regarding their pets' routines, dietary needs, medications, and any specific care instructions. I ensure a safe and secure environment for the pets, giving them ample space to move and explore. Daily exercise is incorporated into their schedule, whether it's energetic walks, engaging playtime, or stimulating mental activities. Feeding schedules are strictly followed, and I monitor their water intake to keep them hydrated. I am observant and attentive to their behavior, swiftly addressing any signs of discomfort or health issues. Most importantly, I offer companionship and affection, providing a sense of familiarity and comfort while their owners are away. Communication with my clients is essential, as I provide regular updates and photos, ensuring they feel connected and reassured about their pets' well-being. Ultimately, I strive to create a seamless, stress-free experience for both the pets and their owners, ensuring that their beloved companions are well-cared for and cherished in my care.

I have had fur babies in the past that require special attention. I work a full time job out of my home so taking in dogs during the week is super easy as I’m home all day everyday. We have underground fencing otherwise your dog will go on a tie out. We have 2 entrances that can accommodate. I can also take crate trained dogs. If you don’t want to bring your kennel we have one to use as well.

“Beth was amazing! I had a short notice drop-in need. Quick response. She was even able to come meet my fur baby before hand. She was very knowledgeable about first interactions with a new pet. During there drop-in, Beth communicated with me about how the visor was going and even sent some cute photos. She even went above and beyond by bringing a package inside for me. But next of all, she blessed us with a prayer for my husband and his surgery. Thank you for all you did for us Beth, you were awesome!!”

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Hookerton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 427 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hookerton. 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hookerton. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 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.
