Shyloh was amazing. We highly recommend her. We have a bit of a chaotic household with three high maintenance fur babies and one human teen. The trip snuck up on me and I ran out of time to prepare the house the way I had planned. Shyloh was incredibly flexible and understanding. When we picked up prescription refills for the dogs just before leaving, one was left behind and she remembered to ask about it. I felt this was incredible attention to detail and showed just how seriously she takes the responsibility of watching someone else’s pets. We tend to worry too, but she provided regular updates and was always one step ahead. Even checking to make sure we were home at the time we told her we would just in case the dogs might need her to check on them again if we had been held up. She washed their bowls, had to clean a soiled rug and absolutely left our home in better shape than we left it. We just hope that Shyloh is willing to watch our kiddos again. She was fabulous.

Bella was absolutely fantastic while watching my dog, Lola, at our house for four days. She sent daily updates and some wonderful pictures, which gave me total peace of mind and allowed me to fully relax on my trip. I came home to a very happy dog and a perfectly cared-for home. I highly recommend Bella to anyone looking for a top-notch, reliable pet sitter!

Olivia was great. She stayed in our home and took care of our two large dogs while we were out of town. Our pups were spoiled and happy, and we got lots of photos and updates. She was always very responsive and took great care of both our dogs and our house. I would definitely use her again.

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.

Rya was absolutely incredible! She took the best care of our doggo and truly treated him like he was part of her own family. As an overly protective pet parent, I def sent her a thousand reminders and instructions, and she handled every single one with kindness, patience, and never once made me feel like I was being over the top (even though I probably was 😂). She was always punctual, incredibly caring, and kept us updated with great communication throughout her stay, which gave us complete peace of mind. She also stayed overnight and left our home spotless, it looked just as good as when we left. If you're looking for someone who is trustworthy, compassionate, reliable, and genuinely loves animals, Rya is the one. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter, and we will absolutely be booking her again. Don't hesitate, book her now. You won't regret it!

About: I’ve had dogs of my own for 26 years, and I have raised one by myself for the last 6 years. I love fur babies and want them to all feel loved. I have a very flexible work schedule and am able to take on jobs pretty much daily. Sometimes I do travel home, but that is not often. I can / will do anything you need from easily crating your dog, to playing with them and providing care to them. Feeding them, playing with them, just giving them company are all things I can do.

Nolan was AWESOME! We did a meet and greet prior to sitting and he was detail focused on their needs. Also asked for more time to play and familiarize the dogs with him. While we were away he sent regular updates and photos/videos. When we returned our dogs seemed like their normal selves, having attention, play time, and relaxation. It was just the experience we were looking for. Highly recommend Nolan for all dog breeds and behaviors.

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!

I needed a sitter for our dog Willow since my whole family was at an event. I checked out the Rover website for the 1st time and all the reviews. I chose Shyloh F. for the close proximity as well as previous reviews. I was so pleased beyond my expectations with Shyloh. Shyloh visited with Willow 2 times to meet her since she is nervous with new people. I was sent pictures and updates that assured me all was well at home. We came home Sunday to a clean house with all towels and sheets washed and bed made. It was such a nice surprise after the long drive home! I will use and refer Shyloh again in the future.

We were happy to invite Denise back into our home to care for French Toast. French welcomed Denise with tail wags and kisses. Denise took French on some daily ‘adventures’ which he loved. Denise has excellent communication with us and sent photos and descriptions of French’s day. We really appreciate the level of care given to French by Denise. We highly recommend her services.

We had a very positive experience with Sarah. She was reliable, communicative, and sent thoughtful photo updates while we were away, which gave us peace of mind. Most importantly, our Velcro dog clearly felt comfortable with her and really warmed up to her quickly. It’s reassuring to know our pup was in good hands. We would gladly book with her again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Kure Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Kure Beach on Rover is $64.38 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 765 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kure Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Kure Beach walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Kure Beach maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Kure Beach choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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.

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 .

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

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.

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

  • 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
