“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.”
“Shelley had a great time with Connor. After walking and playing in the yard she was content to curl up on his lap for a little snuggle time. Connor arrived on time and did everything that was asked of him - very responsible.”
“Amy was absolutely amazing! Made me feel completely at ease to leave my 13 year old Maltipoo in her hands. She also had me fill out paperwork for more detail on Stella which was amazing that I didn’t have to think to leave instructions! We will be using Amy again for Stella for sure!”

About: Hi, my name is James and I am an active and energetic animal lover that has had dogs and cats my entire life. In addition to my own pets, my wife and I have fostered with local dog and cat rescues for the past 10 years. My love for animals doesn't stop there, I have worked in the zoological industry for the past 20 years. My first 15 years as a zookeeper and the last 5 as a zoo curator. If you have domestic farm animals or exotics of any kind, I am very comfortable caring for them. I have experience administering medications and specialized diets, as well as, giving injections as needed. If you are looking for someone with a wealth of experience in caring for animals, please reach out. I am working full time, but am still able to overnight, if needed. Otherwise, I am available for any morning and evening care that is wanted. I'd prefer not to take care of any pets in my home for the time being due to the fact that we have several fosters, as well as our own pets.
“This was the first time leaving my pets with non-family and I was nervous to say the least (my boys are mama boys). Alicia was wonderful with keeping me up to date and asking questions to make sure the boys were taken care of correctly. Thanks Alicia!”
About: I have taken care of pets my whole life so I can take care of puppies to elderly dogs. Most dogs love me and want to come play and pet. I also have a 2.5yr old son who absolutely LOVES dogs. We are happy to take care of dogs with special needs or is on mediations. We had a cat that just recently passed away and she would have been 19yrs old this year. She had asthma and we had to give her an inhaler 2x a day for 10 years. Happy to help your family with any special needs. We will love them like our own while you are away. I currently run my own business and work from home. I have a very flexible schedule so I can fairly easily adopt to your needs and help out wherever I can. I have a nice size home so your dog will have lots of free range all over the house. I live in a very pet friendly community so there are a ton of dogs around and a nice place to go walking the dog.
“Dani did a wonderful job taking care of our three cats and we would happily request her again. She followed all instructions and the kitties clearly enjoyed being with her. She was also easy to communicate with and kept us updated through Rover and text messages.”
“David did a phenomenal job in taking great care of our cats while we our away. He ensured that he got all the details needed to take care of our cats and provided us with all the latest photos and updates. This gave us so much peace of mind. Our cats felt so happy and comfortable with him.”
“Very reliable sitter! Whitney checked in on my dog at my house twice a day while I was away. She took good care of my dog and kept me informed with photos.”
“Kim has taken such excellent care of our wild maniac of a puppy! She makes sure he gets tons of love and snuggles whether we are away for the day at work or for a few days on a trip. She has also taken great care of our two cats and our house while we were away. Kim goes out of her way to do the little things like bringing in the mail daily. She is wonderful!”
About: I currently have a fun loving 2 year old puppy and 3 senior cats. I love spending time with them and am looking to spread my expertise. I am available early mornings, nights, and weekends for both cat and dog care. I can provide consistent care and plenty of play time and attention. Would safely care for animals in the clients home and love to send pictures to keep you at ease. Communication is key and I will strive to make sure you feel safe
“Tamia did an excellent job taking care of my dog and two kittens! She sent regular updates and even went the extra mile sweeping up after my messy dog despite no obligation to do so. I would recommend Tamia and I will definitely be using her services in the future!”

Pet 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. ☺️
Melaney did a great job taking care of our two cats for a week. Besides feeding them and attending to the litter box, she also took care of their emotional needs as well, spending time playing with them and petting them. She kept in contact with us every day letting us know how they were doing.
Maddie is the best! She is so kind and respectful. She really came through while we were away, and my baby was taken care of very well. So lucky to have found her! She communicates quickly and is flexible. Overall, she is intelligent, trustworthy, and a really good person- my cat just loved her!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lumberton is $22 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 8,695 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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 Lumberton. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
