“Rachel did a great job taking care of my two senior girls! She sent lots of updates and the house looked exactly as I left it when I got home. Would definitely hire 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.”
“This was our first time using Rover, and also ever hiring a dog sitter to watch our two dogs. We were a bit anxious going into our trip wondering how our dogs would do with a new person staying with them. From the jump Cate was awesome to work with and really put us at ease that our dogs would be in great hands. She sent us daily updates and pictures, and left our home in great shape for when we returned. Would highly recommend Cate, and we are really happy with our first Rover/dog sitter experience!”
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. Taking rover shifts to help me pay for grad school! 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.
“Mab was amazing! She was great with our dog. She was patient and took care of all of Hurley’s needs. Amazing house guest as well. We would definitely have Mab again. Hurley enjoyed Mab’s company and it was overall a wonderful experience.”
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.
“Allen was great! I needed a last minute sitter and Allen was the perfect choice. Great communication and put up with my silly dogs with no complaints. Left my house in great condition. I look forward to having him stay with my beasties again. Thank you so much! 💜”
“We have 3 dogs that we have never left alone with a stranger before. One dog being a very energetic Great Dane puppy who can be difficult to handle just based on his size and strength. Abby came for a meet and great and was immediately able to manage him. She came for one more visit before we left for a week and equally impressed us. This gave my husband who was very stressed about leaving them a great peace of mind while we were away. Abby provided us with daily updates and videos. When we arrived home the dogs and our bird were obviously very well looked after. We were concerned she would not last the week with our motley crew. Not only did she last the week, she agreed to come back again. She will absolutely be our go to pet sitter as long as we can have her. Thank you Abby!!!”
“Alex was absolutely fantastic with our two dogs! She was very communicative and let us know everything that was going on while we were away. I would definitely hire her again to dog sit for us again.”
“Lyndsay did a fabulous job making Finley comfortable and happy while we were gone. It was a last minute request and she was very communicative. I will request her again!”
“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!”
“So thankful to have found Jane!! She gave our Piper such good care while we were away. She provided updates and left our house wonderfully!! So nice our pup could stay in her house and be so lovingly cared for!! We will definitely ask her again and would highly recommend!! thank you Jane!”
“Katie was fantastic!!! She was great with our dog Brady and he just loved her! She took him on walks every day and kept us updated (with pictures) while we were on our vacation... She looked after things at the house and left it as if she'd never been here! We've been home for a day now and Brady keeps looking for her to come back... We would recommend Katie highly to anyone looking for a house or dog sitter, or both... We will definitely plan to use her again and I'm sure that Brady can't wait!! 5 stars and A+++”
“Kennedy was fantastic! This was our first time using rover and we were nervous but having Kennedy look after our 2 dogs completely put my mind at ease! She was very communicative and responsive throughout our trip and our house was perfectly neat when we returned home! Will definitely have her sit for us again!”
“Michele is the absolute best dog sitter! I had so much anxiety about leaving my senior dog for ten days, but I felt at ease as soon as I met Michele. It is very apparent that she is a genuine animal lover, and my dog took to her right away. She sent updates, photos, and videos regularly, and I was able to relax and enjoy my trip knowing that my pup was getting tons of love and attention. I can’t say enough about how wonderful she is. 10/10 highly recommend!”
“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.”

Mayra was awesome! We had to book her last minute since a previous person cancelled and she came over the morning we left to get a run down of everything before leaving later that day. She checked in everyday and sent plenty of pics of the dogs. She kept the house clean and dogs happy!!
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.
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!
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Masonboro
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.
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.
