“got her eye medication, had plenty of playtime outside, and was happy and comfortable the whole time. I loved getting daily photos and videos — it gave me such peace of mind knowing she was in great hands. I can’t recommend Rachel enough!”
“Amelia stayed in our home and looked after our geriatric small dog recently. (This was our first experience with Rover). On a previous trip when she’d been boarded, our dog hadn’t eaten and had lost several lbs, so we needed help. Amelia was perfect! My dog was able to stay home with no change to her routine. I received pics, texts and had an stress-less trip thanks to Amelia!”
About: I’ve ran my own pet sitting business since I was roughly 9-10 years of age. I build a relationship with any and all of my clients to ensure that I can give the best care I possibly can. Animals are my passion and I have worked with pets from Dogs and cats to Chinchillas, Rabbits, and Fish. I’ve also trained my own dog and hope to pursue a career with dog training somehow. I’m going to have flexibility soon! -Weekly I’m available more often than not for dog walking, quick drop ins. - Weekends depend on my availability at the time as I am still in school. Staying overnights or long term stay are dependent upon request - Boarding in my own home varies. Speak to me for more details - I have vets and emergency vets saved for my areas no matter where I pet sit. - I will care based on the pets needs and requirements as every pet is different but I will go above and beyond for your pet. - Depending on what you need, I will ask questions but most needs aren’t unrealistic and can be met
“Sarah was phenomenal! I really appreciated how communicative she was, she took great care of my house, and she loved/cared for our dogs like they were her own. Would absolutely book again! Thanks Sarah!”
“Wow! What a great find!! kelly was amazing from beginning to end. As someone who has never used Rover before, I was a bit nervous for my first time. But she walked me through everything, did a meet and greet with the animals before confirming, and was in regular communication throughout my time away. On top of that, my animals absolutely loved her! They were very well taken care of and seemed much happier than compared to a stay at the vet or boarding facility. I can’t wait to use her again next time!! Great care. Great advice on Rover. And definite lover of animals if she can handle my crew! (2 dogs, parrot, and ferret) Thanks again Kelly!”
“She was excellent. She took great care of my young child, demonstrating patience and understanding throughout. She was very accommodating, and I plan to book her services again.”
About: I'm a dog lover and owner who has worked with other dogs for 10+ years. I understand how difficult it can be to find someone to trust with your fur babies! My goal is to be that person for you! I'm currently working part-time from home so I have flexibility to do walking or day care during the week and can facilitate boarding on some weekends! Please reach out for availability!! I look forward to meeting your fur baby! I can come to you or you can drop your fur baby off to me! I have a fully fenced yard (high fence) and also have two different sized crates depending on your fur baby's needs!
“Abby did a great job taking care of our two dogs and cat while we were out of town for vacation! It was such great peace of mind to have someone with our animals while we were gone. Abby did a great job communicating and staying in touch with us, providing updates and pics throughout the week! Will definitely use her services again.”
“This was our first time using Rover and we’re a bit hesitant to give it a try. We found Kelsey who had great reviews and upon meeting her in person, felt comfortable to move forward with booking her for a 5 night stay in our home watching our golden retriever. Kelsey was fantastic! She did an amazing job keeping an eye on our home but must importantly, taking care of our dog. She provided daily updates and her communication was always prompt. Highly recommend Kelsey and we will definitely be using her again!”
“Nat was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter for our dog, Luna. From the moment we met her, we felt completely comfortable knowing Luna was in caring and capable hands. Nat was attentive, reliable, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. She kept us updated and made sure Luna was happy, well-exercised, and well cared for while we were away. We came home to a relaxed and content pup, which says everything. We would highly recommend Nat to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter and will definitely use her again.”
“Millie is AMAZING!! Took such great care of my 2 boys for a week while I was out of state for work. Will 1000% repeat. I’ve had many sitters over the years and she’s top notch as far as service, communication, and she genuinely loves animals! My work trip was stressful and knowing she was at my home with my babies gave me one huge less thing to worry about 💕”
About: I have extensive experience caring for a wide variety of animals and have been surrounded by pets for as long as I can remember. Growing up with dogs, cats, rabbits, lizards, fish, and other animals has given me a strong understanding of their unique needs, behaviors, and personalities. As an experienced pet sitter, I understand how important it is to provide pets with a safe, comfortable, and stress free environment while their owners are away. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, administering medications, maintaining routines, or simply offering companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I take the time to learn each pet’s individual needs and personality to ensure they feel happy, secure, and well cared for. I am currently in online college working towards a degree in environmental science. Pet sitting is a good way for me to stay focused on school while still be able to work. In addition to caring for pets, I take pride in being clean, organized, and reliable. If I am caring for your pet in your home, I will treat your space with the utmost respect and ensure it is clean and tidy when you return.
About: I’ve been pet sitting dogs and cats of all kinds since I was a young teenager. I truly enjoy getting to care for pets even though I’m not quite ready for one of my own while I’m in school. I have experience with animals of all sizes and temperaments, from skilled leash walkers to the more enthusiastic ones, and I love them all the same. I am currently in medical school on various rotations. I work 15 8-hour shifts per month. Outside of that, I am extremely flexible when it comes to meeting the needs of your pets! I live alone in an apartment that is pet-friendly. The complex itself is all side walks and there are many side yards for leashed walks and outside time. If pets are in my home I treat them as my own, which is like a beloved family member. Of course, I abide by the house rules of the owner if families have certain rules for their pets while in their own homes. For my walking services, I make sure to only walk in safe areas and am very self aware of my surroundings, making sure your dog is safe the entire time.
“Madi took such great care of Beau while we were out of town! She is caring, communicative, and understanding of all the classic puppy quirks. It gave us peace of mind that Madi just “gets it” because she has raised a silly puppy herself. Thanks so much Madi!”
About: Hey! My name is Rachel. I’ve loved and cared for dogs and cats my whole life. I’ve worked with/lived with dogs of all temperaments. I have experience with administering medication to both cats and dogs. I have volunteered at Humane Societies, animal sanctuaries, and even lived on a small horse ranch where I took care of 4 horses and 5 dogs in Arizona. I am active and playful myself, so this translates when I am with dogs especially, who love to play, go for walks and get the zoomies out. Cats too, but I know when to leave them alone! I am an intuitive, responsible, considerate, patient, reliable and warm person who will treat your pet like my own. I value open and transparent communication so please provide as much info as you may need to feel secure. I am also not afraid to ask any questions in light of being proactive to eliminate potential misunderstandings. I genuinely care and want the best for your pet. I will also happily update you with photos and messages. :) I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate overnight stays, morning and evening drop ins, as well as occasional afternoon visits. I’m happy to work with your pets routine and make sure they receive the care, attention & companionship they need! I care for your pets as if they were my own! :) I have an instinctual nurturing and compassionate heart. I love to build a connection with animals and learn about their personalities through play, petting, communicating.
“Kim was awesome with our boys! She stayed at our house while we were out of town and was a very respectful house guest. While we were gone she sent us photos and updates to ease our anxiety of leaving them for a long period of time!”
About: I’ve spent several summers caring for both cats and dogs as well as having them in my house growing up! I absolutely love giving them the attention they deserve, whether that’s playtime, walks, or cuddle time. As a 20 year old college student, I bring lots of energy, patience, and genuine love for animals. I enjoy making pets feel safe, happy, and cared for like they’re part of my own family I currently am a college student with mostly early morning classes, so I am up pretty early. I also am a soccer coach for Wilmington hammer heads which is about 2 hours Monday, Wednesday, Thursday nights. Other than that I am extremely flexible and am never busy for long periods of time! Whether I’m in my home or a client’s, safety and comfort always come first. I make sure pets have a clean, secure space, follow their normal routines, and give them plenty of attention so they feel at ease. My goal is to create an environment where pets are happy, loved, and cared for just like they would be with their family.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Masonboro
Phoebe did an outstanding job caring for our energetic pup. She stayed overnight and left the house spotless. The bed was made, the kitchen trash was taken out and all pet waste was cleaned up in the yard. She was very responsive and a good communicator. We highly recommend Phoebe .
Lyndsey did amazing with our 2 dogs and 2 cats. She was great at communicating with us while we were gone, and we came home to 4 very content animals. We really appreciate that she took such great care of our animals (and home), and we definitely hope to hire her again!
Sadie was wonderful, I highly recommend her. She was attentive sending me daily updates with pics. She was very respectful and thoughtful, I could not have asked for more. My dog really enjoyed her and was very well taken care of, so nice to leave town and feel secure my sweet boy was in such good hands.
We absolutely loved having Peyton stay with our pets! She was so sweet and caring with our dog and two cats, and we felt completely comfortable leaving them in her care for five days. She sent us updates and pictures while we were away, which we really appreciated, and came home to a nice, tidy house. It was such a relief knowing our pets were happy and well taken care of while we were gone. We would definitely have her stay with them again and highly recommend her!
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.
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!

The average cost of House Sitting in Masonboro is $40 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $73 per night.

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 , 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 .
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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
