“Haley was absolutely fantastic! This was our first time using a pet sitter, so we were incredibly nervous, but Haley completely put our minds at ease. She took amazing care of both our dogs and cats while we were away.Our dogs really bonded with her, which was wonderful to see. Haley is incredibly attentive to details, professional, and communicates quickly and effectively. She kept us comfortable the entire trip by sending daily updates and pictures. We really appreciate her and will definitely use Haley’s services again in the future!”
About: Lifelong Pet Lover & Dedicated Caregiver Pets have always been a big part of my life. I currently share my home with two cats, one dog, and pet turtles, so I understand that every animal has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone they can trust while you're away, I'm committed to making them feel safe, happy, and loved. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with plenty of patience, attention, and affection. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when you're away from your fur babies. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. From energetic puppies to independent cats—and even shelled friends—I genuinely enjoy caring for animals of all kinds and making sure they receive the love and attention they deserve. I work part-time, which allows me to have a flexible schedule for pet care. I am available for evenings, weekends, and can provide plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship for your pets when you need it most. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where pets are treated like family. I focus on keeping pets’ routines consistent, providing plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime. My home has a fenced-in backyard where pets can safely enjoy outdoor time, fresh air, and supervised activities. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize safety, trust, communication, and making sure every pet feels happy and secure while in my care. I also send frequent pictures of your fur baby if desired.
“Nicole helped us out when our regular sitter was not able to. She stepped in and took care of Astro. Amazingly Astro is a very nervous shy dog around new people and he absolutely loves her. She did such a great job. We will use Nicole going forward.”
About: I have experience being a dog nanny that included , giving medication, different dietary needs, scheduled walks, potty training, and giving as much attention needed to 11 dogs. I’m looking into going to college to become a vet tech and need some extra money and help getting there. I’m currently unemployed and looking into going to community college so I’ll have lots of spare times to play with your pups or cats ! I will give my undivided attention to your animals and make sure that they are in the safest environment. I will work around the owner’s schedule too if needed.
About: Foster mom of 1! Most of my free time is spent walking dogs at the SPCA so I have lots of experience with every type of dog! My mom runs a pet care business and I often helped her with daily walks as well as overnight stays before moving to the Outer Banks- so pet care isn’t new to me! I grew up on a horse farm and have extensive experience caring for all sorts of livestock as well as household pets. I work full time as a professional firefighter here in the Outer Banks as well as working part time as an EMT and as a lifeguard! I spend almost all of my free time running/walking or at the SPCA. I’d love to have your pup join me for a run or a hike! Time spent with your pup will largely be based on what they want, we can run to their heart’s desire or lounge on the couch for an afternoon! My pup is a recent foster who prefers some space when he’s outside so I often let him out first thing in the morning, then we do a 20-30 minute walk before having breakfast and often lounging around the house until we go outside to get some exercise in the early afternoon.
“Rose was wonderful and took care of my reactive pup Gus over Thanksgiving! Highly recommend - glad we found our go-to person to help with him when we’re in the outer banks.”

Michael was great! Rocco my pit bloodhound mixis a 51-pound 10 month old puppy with a lot of energy and a traumatic past and he does not warm up to everyone quickly. Michael helped him feel at ease with patience and confidence. He was, friendly, professional, on time, and communicated with me constantly with each visit. I work several times a year in the area. I will always contact him moving forward.
Olivia was great doing drop-in’s for our cats! She did a FaceTime with me before since we lived further away and sent text updates and took some cute cat photos. She also grabbed our package that was left outside, without being asked. Overall was reliable and easy to work with!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Kill Devil Hills is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 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.

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 .
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 , 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
