“Sarah was amazing and took such great care of my cat. She was super responsive and provided amazing updates and pictures of her visits. My cat is very shy but warmed up to her quickly. Will definitely be using her for all my upcoming cat sitting needs.”

“Courtney was amazing!!! Snickers, my baby took right to her! He gave her a bit of trouble eating, not her fault. He’s got separation anxiety. I shared a trick with her I use with him, and she handled it like the pro she is! I’m so excited to have found Courtney, and on short notice. I’m already booking for another time! She’s a keeper. Thank you Courtney for taking such good care of my pup!”

About: Hello! I have grown up with more pets than people in my household, and that has served me well. I am capable of handling multiple dogs on walks (there’s nothing more comical than juggling multiple leashes) and caring for both cats and dogs. I was an assistant in therapy dog training and puppy training for four years (Teamworks in Raleigh), and this has provided me with cognitive and behavioral insight into dogs. I also have taken care of dogs around my neighborhood growing up. My philosophy with pets is that they make the owner feel better and vice versa. I promise to take care of your pets as I would my own: with love, respect, and as much exercise as they deserve. I look forward to working with you. I work full time remotely, so have flexibility to take care of your pet’s needs. My weekend availability varies but my calendar will be up to date. I will take care of your pet in your home, where they will be most comfortable. I am also available for drop-ins, or walks while you are at work, or other non-stay related activities.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was ten years old. Including neighbors, family, and family friends for long periods of time. Making sure to give them proper attention; bathing, feeding, and exercise. I grew up with many animals on my mother’s farm, so I have lots of experience taking care of pet friends! I’m currently an online student for AppState and work 9-5 Monday-Friday. I am available to watch any pet friends before and after work, for overnight stays, and weekends anytime! I care for pets in my client’s home according to their expectations and with my upmost respect to their pets and home. Making sure to follow all directions and ensure that my client can have full confidence in my service.

About: I’ve had a variety of pets my entire life, and love taking care of them. I have raised puppies from when they were young. I am no professional at training, but have experience training up 2 puppies of my own. I have taught them basics and some other special tricks. I have experience leash training and crate training as well. I’ve had experience dog sitting for others for 4 years. Hi! I am currently a college student who recently relocated to the Wilmington area. I make it a habit to ensure all specific pets needs are met at all times. I make a point with all of my animals to spend individual time curated specifically towards them. All of my pets follow a schedule. They know when to expect to be walked, fed, and played with. I try to bring my dog with me whenever I can but she understands that sometimes she needs to stay home for her well being.

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.

About: Hi! I’m Amy, and I truly believe pets are family. I’m a responsible, and compassionate person who understands how important it is to feel confident that your beloved pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a genuine love for animals and experience caring for dogs with different personalities, needs, and routines. I grew up on a farm and have led a pet centered life since. I am patient, attentive, and dependable, and I take the time to make pets feel comfortable and loved in my care. Whether your pet wants long walks and lots of playtime, quiet companionship, or simply someone to stick to their familiar routine, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I also understand that every pet—and every pet parent—is different. I’m careful about following feeding instructions, medications, schedules, exercise routines, and any special requests. I’ll treat your home with the same respect and care I give your pets. Most importantly, I want you to be able to relax while you’re away. I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and plenty of reassurance so you know your furry family member is doing well. I would love the opportunity to get to know you and your pets and become someone you can trust whenever they need a little extra love and care. ❤️ I currently do not work so I have plenty of time to drop in and spend time with your pet! Feeding, walking, crating and playing with your pets is my focus! I will always care for your pet as if it is my own. I have two wonderful dogs and a fenced in yard for extended stays

We would be happy to provide a fun and safe stay for your four-pawed loved ones while you are out. Hope to meet you and your pet soon ☺️🐾 We are full time at home and would love a furry companion.

“Great sitter for our two kitties for a week, when our other sitter wasn’t available. Trustworthy and would book again. Courtney was responsive, took pictures of the kitties, and was not hesitant to ask questions while we were gone. She had no issues using our technical alarm system. We appreciated that she brought in our mail without being asked (we never expect our pet sitter to do this, but always appreciate it) and she was accommodating to our change in travel schedule. Thanks Courtney!”

“Madison was awesome! She was flexible with our introductory visit and the care schedule and accommodated our every need. Madi always sent detailed visit information each and every time, including cute pictures and lots of cuddles. My pups were immediately at ease with Madi as soon as she first met them, you can tell she really loves pets and I was very at ease and confident in her care. She was always on time and followed their care perfectly by memory (because I forgot to leave instructions!), down to giving them their daily medication. I would recommend Madison and will definitely book her again!”

About: I have always had a dog or dogs in my life and have always been a active pet owner. I live a block from two different walking trails, and five blocks from the beach, I love walking so hopefully your pup does too. I understand the needs of animals and have worked jobs/volunteered where animal welfare was a top priority. I am also enrolled in a dog training program at UNCW and volunteer working with puppies. When an animal is in my care it’s welfare will be my top priority meaning making sure your pet is safe, secure, fed on their normal schedule, have had adequate exercise for their activity level and whatever other needs your pet requires. I currently have Wednesday and Friday mornings off so I can take your dog on morning walks those days. And I have mostly all Evenings open after 6 for a night walk. I live by two walking trails and close to the beach if your dog likes the beach it’s a quick drive I am used to walking morning and night that has always been my dog walk schedule and distance is always depended on dogs fitness level

About: As someone who’s herself had every breed from a Golden Retriever, to a Poodle, to a Great Dane- I’m no stranger to big and little dogs! I’m happy to care for and play with your dog or puppy at anytime. I love to incorporate fetch or tug-of-war time, as well as anything water-based! I’m currently available on Friday afternoons, Saturdays, and Sunday for any pet needs you might have! I’m flexible with my schedule, just let me know when any changes in availability come up and I can adjust. I live in a one bedroom apartment near the Riverwalk without any fur babies at the moment, so your animal has my full attention! Pets are also allowed on my furniture if so desired.

Mary did a fantastic job with a check in visit on my dog Max. Being an energetic Rat Terrier I don’t like leaving him for long periods of time. She walked him and played with in our backyard. It gave me peace of mind that he was being so well taken care of! I highly recommend her and will be using her again.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Kure Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Kure Beach is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $9 and $38 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 1,289 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Kure Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 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 Kure Beach. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
