“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! 💜”
“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.”
“Abby was wonderful! We will definitely be using her as a house sitter again. She kept our fur babies happy while we were gone. She’s an excellent communicator and shared updates, pictures and videos with us regularly and reached out when she had questions. When we returned home everything was clean and in order which is always a huge plus when returning from a vacation.”
“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!”
“Lyndi was absolutely amazing!! Our pup loved the long walks and snuggles with her while we were away. She was always sending pics of their adventures and so easy and quick to communicate with! Book book book before we book her again 🤍”
“We are so happy with the level of service and amount of love Ruth provided for our dogs while we were away!! Our scaredy cat even made a few appearances, which tells me how comfortable everyone was with her. Very responsive and very responsible, highly recommend Ruth and hope she’s available next time we travel!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“We reached out to Phoebe to watch our fur babies and our home while we were out of town. Our biggest priority was keeping the dogs in their normal routine and comfortable in their own environment, and Phoebe absolutely delivered on that. From the initial contact through the end of her stay, she was responsive, communicative, and completely trustworthy. We felt confident our dogs and home were in great hands the entire time.”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for a while now. I mainly take care of my own pets and I am wanting to get into pet sitting. I have a dog and two cats back home. I promise your pets are in good hands!! I am a student at UNCW in need of a part time job! If we work together I can show you my class schedule - I am very flexible! Furry friends are so important to me. I absolutely love them and put so much love and care into them. I will walk them, love on them, feed them, and do whatever else they need:)
“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.”
“Cecilia took great care of our pups and house! Great communication and daily pictures! I would recommend Cecilia to watch anyone’s pets, she truly cares for them like her own.”
“Matt was an outstanding dog sitter in our home. He had great reviews, was friendly, responsive and caring. He clearly loves all dogs. I felt very comfortable leaving in our home for a long weekend, knowing our high energy lab mix was getting great care! I will definitely use Matt again! I’m so grateful to have found him!”
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.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Masonboro is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Masonboro
Allen and Alex were FANTASTIC! They were very flexible and came to the house 30 minutes before we left to make the transition for our pups a little easier. Our pups loved them (our lab mix was actually “showing off” his toys when they arrived); they walked them twice a day; played with them out in the yard a lot (our neighbor reached out to us to let us know that); and took great care of them. A & A even washed the linens and towels they used before they left! Our pups seemed very happy (and tired—a very good thing!) when we returned, and the house doesn’t even look like anyone was here. AMAZING! Will definitely book them 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.
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.
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!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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.
