“Jane was great with our three dogs. She kept us informed with all that was going on with our house and dogs while we were gone. We came back to a clean home and happy dogs. We were very relaxed on vacation knowing our dogs were under her care.”
“Desi was beyond amazing! She stayed at our home and was respectful and clean. Moose was happy the entire time and was spoiled rotten. Highly recommend her services. 1000/10! Thank you again Desi!”
“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.”
“My pups have had the absolute pleasure of having Emily sit for them a few times now and they just love her! She is so good with communication and always puts your pets needs first. Can’t say enough good things :)”
“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.”
“Katie was attentive and handled everything Keto had to throw at her, we had her watch keto at our wedding and roam about during cocktail hour with Keto in a little suit, I heard he was adorable, would definitely book her again for events or just to watch our little guy, thanks for coming🙂”
“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.”
“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 have had dogs and cats for over 15 years and have pet sit many times. I have experienced with puppies as I have fostered them in the past. Thank you for your consideration, I would love to assist you. I have a very open and flexible schedule! I am able to attend to any days and times that best fit your schedule. I am hoping to do this part-time and do not have another job that conflicts. I usually take notes during our introductory meeting or appreciate notes with directions as well. I have always locked up appropriately after check-ins and will send you an update of your pet with a photo.
“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!”
“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.”
“I reached out to Kelly on short notice not expecting to have found the best dog and house sitter in the area. During her 4 day stay, I received so many updates and pictures about my fur baby and was so happy to know she was being very well cared for. 10/10 recommend Kelly for your furbabies needs. Kelly is so sweet and trustworthy, she is genuinely a kind hearted person whose love for my puppy did not go unnoticed.”
“Kelsey was incredible! Followed up with pictures and constant communication. Winston was so incredibly happy! She also left our home spotless! Would absolutely recommend working with her again! Winston felt so at home!”

I’ve looked after everything from energetic puppies who need extra playtime to senior pets who require gentle care and patience. My experience includes: • Daily walks, exercise, and enrichment to keep pups happy and healthy • Feeding, administering medications, and following specific care routines • Lots of love, cuddles, and companionship to make pets feel at home • Experience with crate training, leash manners, and multi-pet households I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. My priority is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for, just like they would with you. I’ll always send updates, pictures, and notes so you have peace of mind while you’re away. Whether it’s a long walk, a cozy cuddle session, or keeping up with a playful pup’s energy, I’m here to give your pets the care they deserve. 🐶🐱💛 I currently work full-time remote! I have 2 cats and 3 dogs of my own and love the flexibility and attention I can given them because of it.

About: I’m 28 years old and I live in Wilmington with my two kids. I had a German shorthaired pointer and I grew up with 3 labs so I’ve been a dog lover from the start. I’ve been working with dogs privately for almost 10 years so I have all the skills needed to take care of your pup! Currently I am a stay at home mom so my schedule is completely free. I have the ability to come to you whenever needed or wanted. I will care for your pet as well as you and will follow all instructions to insure your pet is well taken care of as if they were still with you.
About: Did you know walking, caring for and loving on a pet can spark creativity? I am a writer with a lifetime of pet ownership who would be honored to take care of your fur babies (and find some inspiration in the process!). I have just returned to the corporate world (it’s a fully remote role) from a traveling sabbatical writing several passion projects. My schedule is still quite flexible and my ability to travel to you quite easy. I understand maintaining your pet’s routine while you’re away is essential to minimizing their anxiety (and yours!). I have a large SUV if your dogs require transportation (like a trip to a favorite dog park or have a regularly scheduled play date or grooming appointment).
About: I have grown up with animals and take care of them my whole life. I absolutely love cats and dogs and am currently in university studying to go to veterinary school. I have worked with all kinds of dogs from the most reactive to the most laid so I feel prepared for any situation. I am able to take pets on long walks or runs or just be with them while parents are away! I am currently working 5 days a week but am done by 4:00 everyday giving me plenty of time to work with your pets! I can walk/run with them and stay overnight any day of the week! I am very flexible so whatever you need I can most likely do! I have lots of experience with pets so I will always be sure to take them out and walk them or get them engaged in an activity. I know how to administer many medications both oral and injections so there is no need to worry about your pets health while I am taking care of them!
“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 feel so happy to have found Melina! We had a great meet and greet, and now after returning from our trip I can say with confidence our pup has never been so pampered. Usually we can tell he was anxious to have us home, but after a week we came home to a relaxed and happy pup. I won’t hesitate to call on Melina again and again!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Kure Beach is $50

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 July 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 July 2026, there are 753 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.

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.
