“Rachel was great (again) with Wally! Lots of photos and videos. He started having some GI issues at the end, and she took great care of him and provided a lot of communication.”
“Abby did a great job with our Yorkie. This is our second time having Abby babysit our fur baby. She also leaves your house in perfect condition. I would definitely recommend Abby.”
“We were staying at Carolina Beach with our dogs, one of which has major separation anxiety especially when traveling. Lena quickly won both dogs over and kept them occupied while my husband and I could get out for a few hours. Will definitely contact her again when back in area.”
“Trinity was reliable, took good care of our energetic puppy, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. We appreciated her help and would be happy to recommend her to others looking for someone dependable to care for their pets.”
About: I have always had 2 or more dogs in my family since I was a kid. I own my own dog in college and have for the past year and a half. Throughout high school I pet sat for neighbors and their friends and worked with old and young dogs, pets that need daily meds and special instructions. I work 2 part time jobs right now, one of them has a pretty flexible schedule. I have a few hours in the morning before work and I finish work at 7pm most days. I can play with your pup, snuggle with your pup or just vibe with them. I'll match their vibe with whatever they need. Any special instructions you may have and make your pup feel special.
“Cate took great care of our Jezzy, house and garden for almost week. I will use her again as she sent photos and worked to get acquainted with our kitty, who is a little skittish and she fed a new feral that has been coming around to eat. I appreciated her attention to the various specifics to our house and garden.”
“Lyndsey was an exceptional pet sitter! She took great care of all three of our pets! Communication was consistent. We were so pleased to enjoy our vacation without worrying and to come home to happy pets!”

“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.”

We got updates, pics, and Andrew was great at communicating with us. We will definitely being using this super host again, thank you, Andrew!”
“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!”
About: I have experience with training puppies, and I’ve watched dogs from Dachshunds to Great Danes! I am a huge dog lover, and I’d love to spend time with yours while I miss mine back home! I am a student, so I will be gone for hours long periods throughout the day. However, this has not been an issue in the past! I follow every direction from the client, as they know their dog’s routine best. I love to spend personal time with the pets too, whether lounging on the couch or going for a walk!
“Michele was amazing! She sent me pics and even a video while I was gone. She played with our two fur kids, gave them their medications, took them outside and threw the ball, etc. Both our dogs are older and they looked happy and healthy when we returned. Will definitely be requesting Michele again in the near future!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Masonboro
Monalene did an excellent job! She provided enthusiastic and attentive care to our cats, and she was very communicative during the entire process. She provided regular updates and photos of the cats, and she picked up on their personalities immediately. She is trustworthy, kind, and very good at taking care of animals. 10/10 - would recommend to a friend.
Kelly is amazing. She did a great job taking care of our pups and kitten as well as our home! She is wonderful at communication and sent pictures daily! Her professionalism is second to none! She is kind, caring, smart, dependable and we welcome her into our home anytime!! Thank you, Kelly!
Allen and his brother Alex were some of the best sitters we have ever had! They kept our pups in our home for a week while we were on vacation. Not only did they send us daily pictures and updates- they also put away our dishes and washed and put away our sheets and towels. They are so kind and communicative. I can’t say enough good things about them!
I was so happy with the service that Marshall provided for Raven and Cronus. This was their first time with a sitter and he was patient, understanding with both them and me :) My circumstances were a little strange and Marshall was accommodating, flexible and communicative. I know that our boys were appreciative (even if they were shy) ... Hopefully we get the chance to book again and get them more comfortable!! Thank you Marshall!!!
Once again, Thurston (William) did such a great job taking care of my senior cat! He’s so kind and always leaves everything cleaner and neater than when he arrived! My kitty just loves him!! Thurston takes extra time to make sure my boy is comfortable, well fed, and happy. Very very pleased and will continue to use him when I have to leave!
I can’t recommend Sophie enough! This was my first time leaving Lola with someone she didn’t know, and I was pretty nervous, but she made the experience so easy. She was incredibly caring, genuinely loved my pup, and kept me updated the whole time with lots of pictures. Her communication was excellent, and it was clear how much she enjoys spending time with dogs. Lola did great and I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands.
Luke was absolutely wonderful with our senior dog, Mac. We were away for 10 days and didn’t worry once. Luke kept us updated daily (sometimes twice!), and from the photos, we could see Mac was happy and comfortable. He stayed in our home, took fantastic care of it, and we returned to everything just as we left it. He even went the extra mile to help get Mac to our in-laws’ house before a storm, once his sitting ended and we were delayed getting home. We knew Mac was in the best hands. We’d absolutely recommend Luke to anyone!
Mattie was fantastic! My girls were cared for wonderfully and treated so sweetly! Mattie sent me pictures almost daily, and always responded promptly if I needed to communicate while away. She additionally returned my home to me in better condition than she found it! Everything was clean and tidy. My girls were very happy with her. Mattie had an unplanned/unexpected event toward the end of her stay. She handled finding a trustworthy substitute caregiver for the girls and then contacted me with all the details, reassuring me that she would be in contact with the replacement and with me consistently over the 24-hour period. I highly recommend Mattie as a sitter, and I look forward to hiring her again in the future! My girls are absolutely in love with her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Masonboro on Rover is $38.85 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 770 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Masonboro. 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 Masonboro 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 Masonboro 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 Masonboro 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.
