Zaria did great with my loud 2yo GSD and my little cavalier. It was a bit last minute but she met me prior to caring for them to get all of the instructions for them. I felt so comfortable while being away. She messaged me and sent great pics of my two while I was away. Happy I found a great sitter in the area for when I need it again!

Allie does an AMAZING job with my pets! This is the second time she has done some drop-ins while I have been away on work trips. I have recently added to my pet family with the addition of Pumpkin, my cat, and Allie jumped right in with no hesitation. She gives detailed updates and photos for every visit. She is quick to reach out with any concerns and is quick to respond to messages! Allie is 100% a trusted sitter for my little family and I will continue to book and recommend her services!!

About: I will love your dog as if it were my own. I have 2 springer spaniels that love to play. I can give special care for a dog that needs meds or has a special diet. 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.

Kristina was excellent with our pups!! She communicated very well with us throughout the entire 5 day drop-ins and she sent plenty of pictures! She was very patient with our dogs and followed all of our instructions. She went above and beyond at some points to make sure our pups were comfortable. We will definitely be using her again and highly recommend her services to anyone who needs her to take care of their fur babies!!

About: I have had dogs of my own over the past 10 years, and have looked after several family and friend's dogs and cats many times. They have relied on me to walk, feed and house sit for their fur babies. I'm reliable and trustworthy. I have a very flexible schedule and can pop in for a quick visit or walk, or I can stay in your home for a longer term. Pets generally need a good amount of attention. I can bring calm comfort to an anxious or tired pet or go on a rigorous walk with a more rambunctious pet.

Morgan was fantastic! We decided to try Rover for the first time after moving and were hesitant. Morgan stopped by before we left town to meet the animals and they loved her. We felt like we were leaving our dog and cat in good hands. She was prompt for the scheduled check in times and went above and beyond. Next time we go out of town we will definitely use Morgan again!

About: Hi guys! My name is Nicolle Bravo and I look forward to caring for your precious fur babies! I’ve spent my entire life around all kinds of animals, caring for them, administering medication such as insulin and shots, and even just providing some much needed love and affection. I’ve had experience with cats, dogs, pigs, bunnies, ferrets, birds, snakes, and lizards. No task is too much when it comes to our bundles of joy, so please feel free to contact me if you have any special requests as I know from personal experience how much stress can arise from trying to find someone who you can trust to take care of your babies beyond just dropping in to provide basic necessities. I hope to meet you and your lovely ball of fur soon! I currently work full time as a caregiver with a man with autism therefore I am only available before 10 or after 6 Tuesday through Friday! Mondays is before 10 and after 5! My weekend schedule varies . In home I care for pets just as if they were my own! I do stick to their feeding schedules / medication schedules to prevent any extra anxiety. They will definitely have plenty of play time as our pets are extremely friendly and love to have fun. We also have a fenced in yard in case you’re sweet pea is a little more on the adventurous side!

About: For as long as I can remember, I have grown up with both dogs and cats! I have been surrounded by them whether it be them being my own pets( or should I say my own family members because let’s face it, they are our family), my relatives house and even my neighbors house when babysitting. I know it can be hard leaving your fur baby alone, I just hope that I can make them and you comfortable! I am a full time teacher at Camp Lejeune! I work Monday through Friday from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm so I am available weekdays after 5:45 pm and then all weekend long. I take hour lunches so if in a nearby neighborhood I can let them out during the day or frequently on the weekends! In order to keep you and them at the most comfortable, I am able to house sit and take care of them in the comfort of your own home. I am 100% honest so that everyone has a happy, healthy and most importantly and safe stay!

About: I have always loved caring for animals and treat every pet like a member of the family. While I don’t currently have any pets of my own, that allows me to provide your dog with my full attention and a calm, comfortable environment during their stay. My home features a secure fenced-in patio with pet-friendly turf for outdoor time, and I’m fortunate to have a large dog park directly across the street as well as another dog-friendly area within my neighborhood. Whether your pup enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply relaxing, I can tailor their care to their individual needs. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I have also volunteered with animal shelters, giving me a strong understanding of dog safety and behavior. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I would be honored to provide reliable, attentive care for your dog. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I am currently a nursing student and stay at home mom. This allows me to give your fur babies my full attention and lots of love and interactive play! I believe every pet is happiest when their normal routine is maintained as closely as possible. Before each booking, I take time to learn about your pet’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, favorite activities, medications, and any special instructions. In my home, pets receive plenty of supervision, attention, playtime, potty breaks, and a clean, safe environment. Dogs have access to a fenced-in patio with pet turf and can enjoy walks or trips to the nearby dog park if approved by their owner. Cats are provided with a quiet, comfortable space, fresh water, clean litter boxes, and enrichment activities tailored to their personality. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s home. I follow all care instructions carefully, provide regular updates and photos, maintain feeding and medication schedules, clean up after pets, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and affection while their family is away. My priority is always making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind.

April did an amazing job with our two cats! They immediately opened up to her and let their personalities shine. She did a great job caring for the boys which included the last minute addition of eye medication which she handled with ease. We will not hesitate to reach out to her for our further pet sitting needs!

About: As a lifelong animal lover with years of experience, I treat each dog like they’re my own, giving your four-legged family member personalized care, comfort, and attention—so you can feel at ease, knowing they’re in a loving home. I currently have a full-time job, but it still leaves me plenty of time to take care of and attend to your pets. In addition to boarding, I also offer walking services, house check-ups, and more. I’m available every holiday and weekend, ensuring your pets receive the attention and care they deserve whenever you need it most. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment to ensure both the pet and owner feel secure. Here’s how I approach each: In My Home: • Safety: My home is pet-proofed to remove any potential hazards, such as exposed wires, toxic plants, and small objects that could be swallowed. I also create separate areas for pets that need quiet spaces, ensuring they can feel safe and relaxed. • Trust: I maintain consistent feeding schedules, regular walks, and offer plenty of attention, ensuring pets feel secure and loved. I also keep owners updated with photos or texts, providing peace of mind. • Environment: I offer a warm, inviting space with plenty of room for pets to play and rest. My home is clean, free of clutter, and equipped with comfortable bedding, toys, and a designated outdoor area for play. In Client’s Home: • Safety: I follow all instructions from the owner closely regarding feeding, medication, and specific care routines. I also do a safety check of the home, ensuring gates are locked, harmful substances are out of reach, and the environment is secure. • Trust: Building trust is key. I arrive on time, follow the owner’s rules, and communicate regularly with updates. This builds rapport with both the pet and the owner. • Environment: I maintain the pet’s usual routine to minimize stress. This includes adhering to familiar walk paths, playtime schedules, and sleeping arrangements in their own home, creating a smooth, stress-free experience. This balance of safety, trust, and comfort helps me ensure that each pet is well cared for, whether in my home or theirs.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Kinston

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Kinston on Rover is $14.43 per visit (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of June 2026, there are 510 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Kinston. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

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

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 Kinston. On Rover:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 91% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.
