House Sitting in Kure Beach

“Denise was more than exceptional when she watched our crew this time. One of the dogs declined in her health to where she couldn’t walk or stand on her own. Denise was up all night caring for her until we got home. The other dog got multiple walks - even when it was raining - and Denise brought her a new stuffy and treats! I highly recommend Denise to house sit your animals when you are away.”

About: As a current graduate student in social work, I bring empathy, patience, and responsibility to every pet I care for. I have lifelong experience with dogs and cats, through both personal familial experience and through pet sitting for multiple clients, each with different needs, routines, and personalities. I am attentive to detail and behavior, am experienced with maintaining schedules, following instruction, and communicating clearly. I prioritize being respectful of both pets and their homes, and as a busy grad school student without a pet, love treating each pet with love as if it were my own. Thankfully, pet care fits naturally into my routine. As a busy grad student, I am highly organized and plan my weeks in advance. This allows me to reliably commit to overnight stays, drop-in visits, and walks. Caring for pets is something I intentionally make time for, as it can be grounding for me, and is something I genuinely have always enjoyed doing. I am dependable with time and commitments, and will only accept booking I know I can prioritize and fully commit to. I primarily offer pet care in clients’ homes, helping ensure pets remain comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, and if applicable, walks, medication, playtime, litter box care, and any household guidelines. I give pets affection, attention, and enrichment based on their needs, making sure to update with messages and photos. I am extremely mindful of being respectful in the home, keeping the space clean and safe, along with your pet!

“I highly recommend Alex and will absolutely be using her again in the future. Her communication is excellent, and she keeps you updated on your fur baby by sending pictures and videos, which truly helped me while being away from my Emma. I genuinely felt she cared for my pet as if she were her own, and I greatly appreciate that.”

“Shyloh did a great job keeping up with our high energy dogs! She was a great communicator and dealt with some unexpected inconveniences like a pro. I would absolutely trust her to take care of my pets again!”

About: Based in Wilmington, NC, I love giving local pet parents peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in kind, capable hands. I’m reliable, communicative, and always treat your pets as if they were my own. Whether you’re traveling, working long hours, or just need an extra hand, I’ll make sure your pets are happy, healthy, and loved every moment you’re away. 🐕💛 “Because your pets deserve the same love you give them.” Caring for pets isn’t just something I do — it’s truly part of who I am. I love planning my days around wagging tails and happy paws, whether it’s a quick morning potty break, a playful midday walk, or winding down with evening snuggles. Since my schedule is flexible, I can easily adjust to whatever your pet needs — from multiple check-ins a day to longer stays or regular walks. Spending time with animals is one of the best parts of my day, and I always make sure they feel loved, safe, and cared for like family. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first — always. My home in Wilmington is pet-friendly, secure, and designed for both play and relaxation. 🌿 Fenced Yard: A spacious, fully fenced yard provides plenty of room for safe outdoor fun and exercise. Whether we’re playing fetch or just lounging in the sunshine, I always supervise outdoor time. 🛋️ Comfortable Indoors: Inside, pets can enjoy cozy spots to nap, climate-controlled comfort, and a calm environment that feels like home. I limit the number of pets I care for at one time to ensure everyone gets plenty of attention and care. 🚪 Safety Measures: I keep gates locked, leashes secured, and routines consistent. Pets are never left unattended outdoors, and I follow all care instructions you provide — from feeding schedules to medication routines. 🐾 Experience You Can Trust: With 15+ years of pet care experience and three dogs of my own (Domino, Gracie, and November), I understand how to keep pets safe, happy, and stress-free while you’re away.

“WE LOVE STEPHANIE!!! We feel so comfortable leaving our furry children in her care, she loves them so well. She sends regular updates and is just the best”

“Andy was so great and really saved us! Our dogsitter backed out just two days before we were meant to leave for a trip, and Andy jumped right in. He was so sweet with our Luna and took great care of both her and our house. He was very communicative and kept us updated throughout his stay. We were able to relax and enjoy our family trip, knowing our pup and our home were safe in Andy's care. We could not recommend him more highly - Andy is fantastic!!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, lizards and birds since I was 10! Our family has three dogs, one that I’ve personally trained since she was a puppy. My roommate and I also consistently foster kittens until we can find them a forever home I work part time, but short shifts (usually only about 6 hours) and have classes for 2 hour increments every weekday morning. I have more than enough time to make sure every fur baby gets enough care while you’re away! I make sure that every animal gets enough play time and attention as I’m aware ample stimulation is critical for a dogs mental and physical health. I’m more than happy to provide daily walks, playtime and any other things a part of your pets schedule and needs.

“Avery was a phenomenal Rover sitter. She took such good care of Meatball and sent me updates with photos during my trip. She took such nice care of my home while I was gone and it was spotless when I got back. It meant the world to me and I will definitely book house sitting with her again!”

“Nat was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter for our dog, Luna. From the moment we met her, we felt completely comfortable knowing Luna was in caring and capable hands. Nat was attentive, reliable, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. She kept us updated and made sure Luna was happy, well-exercised, and well cared for while we were away. We came home to a relaxed and content pup, which says everything. We would highly recommend Nat to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter and will definitely use her again.”

About: I’ve taken care of and raised dogs from puppies to old age. Dog dad to Ahsoka a GSD/Husky and cat dad to Minnesota and Muffins. I treat my pets like a part of the family because they are! Full time pet dad! I work from home and have a flexible schedule. Taking care of my companions is of my highest priorities and yours will be too! Caring for my pets is not only an obligation I hold above none else, it is a joy and a passion for me. I can generally accommodate any request including exercise, diet and even medication.

“Olivia did a great job with Piper. She provided us updates as needed, including photos. I think Piper had a great time with her. Prior to the booking, Olivia came by to meet us and Piper. She asked a lot of great questions and took notes. Leading up to the stay and during the stay she was great with communications, which was important to me. She took care of the house, brought in the mail and washed the sheets and towels before she left. I wouldn't hesitate to book Olivia to watch your pet. We don't travel much, especially now, but will plan on using her services next time we leave town.”

“Allen was great! I needed a last minute sitter and Allen was the perfect choice. Great communication and put up with my silly dogs with no complaints. Left my house in great condition. I look forward to having him stay with my beasties again. Thank you so much! 💜”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was about 12. I lived in a very tight knit neighborhood where on many occasions, I stayed in people’s houses to take care of their dogs or cats. I have lived with a big dog, a small dog in a wheelchair and a cat my entire life so I am fully equipped to provide for the needs of any animal. Whether they need extra care due to disabilities or space because they are timid, I am ready to do it! I don’t currently have a job because I am a student! I have a full course load but my schedule is very cohesive for midday walks or just check ins. I am available all times after 5pm when classes are and all day on the weekends. My schedule is not very strict and allows for a lot of wiggle room depending on what your pet needs. This is very dependent on what your pet and family need! If your pet requires my full attention and day I am happy to spend as much time with them as possible. If your pet needs just a few walks and then likes their space, I can do just that. I can be what ever your pet needs to thrive!

“Michele was the best. We have a 15+ year old Yorkie that requires a great deal of attention's & loving care. Michele provided all of that & more. She was very good a keeping us up to date with notes & photos. We highly recommend her & we will have her again when we need her. Michele is mature, very thoughtful & loves animals.”

Robert T.

About: I’ve provided pet care for multiple families and friends, caring for dogs and cats of many different breeds, sizes and energy levels. I'm comfortable with everything from relaxed cuddle time to high-energy play, walks, and structured activity. I treat every pet as my own with focus on safe & healthy visits. From house sitting, to walks, to just dropping in, I love keeping your pets company and in turn they keep me company as well! I work full time but I work from home 2 days a week making my schedule during the week very flexible and my weekends are open as well. When caring for pets in their own homes, I prioritize safety, trust, and respect for your space. I will carefully follow all care instructions, routines, and household guidelines to ensure your pet feels comfortable and secure. I make sure to keep doors and gates secure, monitor pets closely, and provide regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

“Our first time working with Rover and we were fortunate to have found a wonderfully patient and understanding Millie who gave great care to our senior labradoodle, princess Maya. Millie communicated throughout what activities they were engaged in and was sensitive to Maya's needs to take numerous walks and get lots of attention to assuage her separation anxiety. We highly recommend Millie to those who are looking for a high degree of thoughtful care of their four -legged family members.”
