About: I love dogs and taking them on walks. I have 3 cats of my own and I love to play with their toys with them. I’ve found that dogs love to cuddle with me, and I would love to get them outside! I am willing to work with whatever works for your pet! I am pretty much available all summer! I love to take walks in the morning, but I can do whenever you prefer. I can stop by later on to check on them as well. Whatever works for you! When I go to my boyfriend’s house, I play with their dogs all day long and take them on walks later in the afternoon after it’s cooled down outside. I have 3 cats of my own, I play with them throughout the day, give them treats in the middle of the day, and give them dinner at night. 1 of them chooses to lay with me at night. I had 1 cat for 10 years but he recently passed away. He did everything with me, he went on walks with me outside and loved car rides surprisingly. He would lay with me all night, every night. I’ve found that dogs LOVE to cuddle with me as well!

“This was the first time we did house visits for my two boys and Margret has been nothing but wonderful. She was always punctual and cared for my babies while I was away.

About: I have hands-on experience as a vet assistant and love caring for pets of all ages. From playful pups to seniors, I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved. As a vet assistant and student, pet care naturally fits into my daily life. I’m home most of the week and available Tuesdays and Thursdays after 11 AM, plus often all day Friday - Sunday. Since I already care for my own dogs daily, giving other pets love, walks, and attention is an easy and fun part of my routine. I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. In your home, I’ll follow their routine, give plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles, and keep things clean and secure. With my vet assistant experience, I bring extra care and attention, treating every pet like my own.
“After just one visit, Uni already loves Elley! She’s amazing and treats my fur baby with so much care. We’re both so happy we found her. Highly recommend Elley to anyone looking for loving pet care!”
About: I love dogs and have volunteered at the local shelter for the past 6 years...walking, feeding, cleaning cages of dogs and cats. I have owned several dogs over the years...all rescues and mixed bully breeds. I am currently retired so I have plenty of time to spend time taking care of your fur-babies. My home is pet friendly and I enjoy taking your pet for walks. I have a fenced yard. I can easily crate your dog if needed. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and in my bed. I enjoy taking dogs for walks and there are several walking paths in my neighborhood.
About: I’ve grown up with a dog since I was born. I’ve walked, bathed, brushed, and cared for so many furry friends. I love my dog with all my heart she’s my child. I’ll love yours the same. Pet care is a big part of my day to day. I walk my girly multiple times a day so I don’t mind helping others. Mornings, evenings, and weekends are when I would be available. Showing affection and love first is important. I want to let them come to me when I first meet them so they are comfortable. Making sure their basic needs are met. Potty, food, lots of love. check, check, check.
“Makenzi was wonderful with our dogs! She was punctual for every drop-in visit and kept us updated with photos each time, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. We'd absolutely book with her again and have no hesitations recommending her to anyone.”
About: I just moved back to Town from Savannah, GA. I have had 6 dogs that I have trained myself with basic Commands and with their own special tricks. I have also helped people train their dogs when they ask. I also grew up on a farm with horses, Goats, sheep, and chickens. At the Moment, I am open to helping others care for their pets when in need. If you are looking for morning, Afternoon, or Evening Walks, I've got you. All Pets are different, so this needs to be decided with the owner and the pet. Not me. Most pets have their way of Life already
“My two Aussie Cattle Dogs just loved Reggie to death. My little one is usually pretty shy with new people but on the first meeting she warmed up fast to her. When I returned home they were clean, well fed and very happy. She sent me photos of their walks and I feel very confident in her abilities to take care of my lovable monsters.”
About: Georgia and I have been taking care of pets since we were young children. We have both dogs and cats. Our experience ranges from puppies, senior dogs, kittens, and older cats. We have open availability and are willing to be flexible. Whether your pet is extremely friendly, or more skittish, we are excited to meet them! We are both currently part time in school, with very flexible schedules. I am in school Monday and Wednesday, while Georgia is in school on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. This makes us available 7 days a week! We are willing to follow any schedule your furry friend needs! Whether it’s daily walks, cuddles, or crate training, we got it. We monitor pets with care and are very open with constant communication and daily photos of your pets .
“Brianna was kind enough to accept our very last minute request and came over to meet the cats and get care instructions ahead of time. Very happy to have found a friendly and professional sitter in our new town.”
About: My extensive experience in pet care is founded on a deeply rooted love for animals and a commitment to providing top-notch service. What sets me apart from other sitters is my personalized approach tailored to each pet's unique needs and personality. Whether it's walking a puppy, or providing gentle care for senior pets, I have a versatile skill set that ensures every furry friend in my care receives the attention and support they deserve. My ability to adapt to various situations and my keen understanding of animal behavior enable me to create a safe and comfortable environment where pets thrive. Don't think I just stop at Cats and Dogs! I was a professional pet sitter for years and have watched and cared for Guinea Pigs, Hamsters, Fishes and a Pigeon (yes even a pigeon). I currently have 8 year old cat Begbie (gorgeous, grumpy and full of sass) 2 1/2 year old cat Dexter (always has his tuxedo on ready to crash events and full of spice) 3 guinea pigs (Norman, Joel and Donnie), they currently reside in their own room (with fences around the outlets), where they have plenty of room to forage, hide, run, whatever their tiny hearts desire. In essence, my passion for pets, sets me apart as a pet sitter who goes above and beyond to exceed expectations and provide peace of mind to pet owners. One of the biggest perks of having a flexible schedule right now? I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve! I currently have very flexible daytime/nighttime availability, which means I can accommodate a variety of pet-sitting needs, including drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of companionship. I’m also able to spend extra time with pets who need a little more attention or simply don’t enjoy being left alone for long periods. Need someone to stop by during the day? I’m your person! Have a pet who needs multiple visits? Let’s talk! Have a senior pet who needs a little extra TLC? Absolutely! Have a furry friend who thinks a 20-minute visit is simply unacceptable? I understand their demands. 😂 Because my schedule is flexible, I’m happy to work with you to create a routine that keeps your pets comfortable and maintains as much of their normal schedule as possible. Your schedule may be busy. Mine is currently wide open—and your pets are more than welcome to fill it! 🐶🐱🐹🐦 Availability varies by day and booking, so please reach out and let’s see what works best for you and your pets. Whether I’m caring for your pet in their home or caring for my own in our home, my number-one priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and completely spoiled—in the best possible way! I believe keeping their routine as normal as possible is key. I follow your instructions for feeding, medications, walks, litter box care, playtime, and any special routines your pet has. I also make sure they get plenty of attention and companionship because I know pets can miss their humans just as much as humans miss them. I pay close attention to behavior and look for anything unusual, such as changes in appetite, energy, bathroom habits, or mood. If something doesn’t seem right, I’ll let you know promptly. I’ll also treat your home with the same respect I would my own—clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. I have experience with cats and small animals and understand that every pet has a different comfort level. Some want to play, some want cuddles, some want to explore, and some would prefer to stare at me from across the room while silently judging my life choices. I respect all of these personalities! 😂 Most importantly, I don’t believe pet sitting is simply checking a box on a to-do list. It’s about building trust, providing companionship, following your pet’s routine, and making sure they feel happy and secure while you’re away. You enjoy your time away. I’ll handle the treats, belly rubs, zoomies, and occasional feline attitude. 🐾
About: I have been a surgery vet nurse for 3 years. I can clean litter boxes, clean up dog disposals, and care for your pet however you need. I currently work as a Behavioral Analyst, working with children with Autism and with severe disabilities. I still work part-time as a surgery vet nurse. I can walk all dogs, play with them in the yard, and crate them if/when needed. I am also comfortable with administering medication if needed.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lumberton
Lauren is great! She’s done a few drop in visits for us on short notice for both of my pups. Always arrives in a timely manner and spends enough time with each dog for them to have a few potty breaks and play. We’ll continue to use Lauren! Highly recommend. ☺️
Andrea went above and beyond to care for our dogs while we were away. Our dogs are very temperamental so it’s not often that someone can win their trust and their hearts like Andrea did. Her love for pets shined through the moment she met them. She was punctual, followed all of our instructions and even provided extras like cooling them off with a cold wet towel when they came in from outside during the heatwave. She took great pictures and left detailed updates about her visit. This enabled us to enjoy our vacation without having to worry about our dogs. We will definitely hire Andrea again!
Best pet caretaker ever! Katelyn has been watching our dog on a regular basis for 4 months and does an excellent job. I always come home to a happy dog and everything in are home is just how we left it. Katelyn does a superb job of communicating any concerns or questions in a prompt manner.
Amanda was fantastic! She did drop in visits for our dogs. Amanda visited 3 times a day and she was very prompt with her arrival times and the schedule we set. She also sent pictures of our dogs for us to see how they were doing while we were on vacation. I would highly recommend her!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Lumberton is $23 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $31 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 8,327 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Lumberton. 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.
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 Lumberton 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!
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.
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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Lumberton with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
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.
