“Cate was fantastic! She house/dog sat for us over Thanksgiving. She was very responsive when I first contacted her. We had a nice get-to-know meeting where she was extremely patient with me as I explained all of the details of our situation and introduced her to our dog. She met us early the day we were leaving for the airport to make the transition smooth. She sent pictures and updates while we were gone. We came back to a healthy, happy dog and a clean house. I would highly recommend Cate. She was kind, professional and trustworthy. ”
“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+++”
“This is the 3rd time Michele has stayed with Wally and she is consistently the best sitter we’ve ever had. Wally is always happy to see her and well loved while we are gone. The house is exactly as we left it and Michele keeps us updated with pictures. Michele is the best!!”
“Abby has done it again! She provided outstanding care for our dogs and cats while we were away for 5 days. Just like before, we returned to happy pets and a spotless home. It’s clear Abby is a natural with animals and she treats them like her own. She’s an excellent communicator and sends regular pictures, videos and update’s. We feel extremely fortunate to have found such a reliable, caring pet sitter. Can’t recommend Abby enough!”
“Chrissie did an amazing job with our two dogs! She was a last minute booking (our other sitter got sick) and I am so that we connected with her. She sent updates, took excellent care of our boys, and our home was well cared for while we were gone on a week long vacation. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Jane went above and beyond to take care of our 2 dogs and the house which included trying to keep the plants watered and alive through the recent heat and of course this lingering drought. We went on a 2 week tour of Italy. We had never left our 8 year chihuahua mix since we had her for the past 6 years. She is a rescue and has some walking and rear leg problems so she was extra work as she is not able to walk far at a time. On top of that we have a 5 month old chihuahua puppy who being so young is sometimes a handful but also a lot of fun. Jane eased our mind sending great updates, great pics and even videos of the pups so it eased our minds not having to worry about them and it enhanced our trip greatly. If we need to be away in the future and cannot take the dogs with us we will definitely call Jane. I cannot say enough about how well she took care of the house and the dogs also. We were a little worried about how the dogs would take to a new person with us being gone and that we have never left them before. But Jane's experience showed through as the dogs became at ease with her very quickly and easily.”
“Milena was absolutely wonderful with my two dogs! She responded to my request for a dog sitter immediately and was friendly, flexible and professional. My dogs are pretty high energy and nervous around new people, but they quickly warmed up to Milena. I knew my pups were in great hands with her and it made my weekend away that much more relaxing. She updated me regularly with how they were doing and sent great photos. I would highly recommend her and can’t wait to have her back!”
“I could not recommend Kelsey enough! She took great care of my senior dog in my home for a weekend. She was very communicative and sent me pictures throughout her stay. I will definitely have her watch my dog again!”
“My pups have had the absolute pleasure of having Emily sit for them a few times now and they just love her! She is so good with communication and always puts your pets needs first. Can’t say enough good things :)”
“Andrew was a great sitter to our dog, Bear! We were uneasy leaving him at his ripe old age, and we immediately felt comfortable with the level of care he was getting. We got updates, pics, and Andrew was great at communicating with us. We will definitely being using this super host again, thank you, Andrew!”
“Excellent!!! He got on great with my dogs, and took care of them, treated them like royalty! My home was spotless, Cannot say enough great things about Matt! He really met all my needs, so I could have confidence to enjoy my vacation. Highly recommend!”
“Rachel was amazing! She did a great job watching our dog, Bodie. She was incredibly reliable, kept Bodie happy and on schedule, and was very respectful of our home. We loved the updates. Highly recommend Rachel!”
“Rya was absolutely incredible! She took the best care of our doggo and truly treated him like he was part of her own family. As an overly protective pet parent, I def sent her a thousand reminders and instructions, and she handled every single one with kindness, patience, and never once made me feel like I was being over the top (even though I probably was 😂). She was always punctual, incredibly caring, and kept us updated with great communication throughout her stay, which gave us complete peace of mind. She also stayed overnight and left our home spotless, it looked just as good as when we left. If you're looking for someone who is trustworthy, compassionate, reliable, and genuinely loves animals, Rya is the one. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter, and we will absolutely be booking her again. Don't hesitate, book her now. You won't regret it!”
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!
About: I’ve taken care of my childhood dogs, Rosie and Penny, since I was around 10 years old. They are small, but high maintenance dogs that require a lot of attention. I have recently become a cat owner to my boy, Toad, who is a rambunctious Tabby. He is also high maintenance and very menacing. Other than my furry friends, I have looked after my family friends’ Labrador occasionally over the past two years! I am currently a full time graduate student at UNCW, as well as a graduate teaching assistant. I will be on campus Tuesdays-Thursdays, but I still have flexibility those days! My genuine love for animals is what makes me a good pet sitter. I strive to give them the best care and to make them happy companions!
“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.”
“Stella did an amazing job taking care of our dogs and we highly recommend you book with her! We recently went out of town and booked Stella to watch our dogs while we were away. She went above and beyond! She was able to handle our two huge dogs perfectly fine with no problem at all. She sent us picture updates each day while we were away, and even followed all of our very detailed instructions we left for our dogs. If you need someone who will do a great job, we highly recommend you book with Stella!”
About: I’m 28 years old and I live in Wilmington with my two kids. I had a German shorthaired pointer and I grew up with 3 labs so I’ve been a dog lover from the start. I’ve been working with dogs privately for almost 10 years so I have all the skills needed to take care of your pup! Currently I am a stay at home mom so my schedule is completely free. I have the ability to come to you whenever needed or wanted. I will care for your pet as well as you and will follow all instructions to insure your pet is well taken care of as if they were still with you.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Myrtle Grove is $50

If you're in Wilmington, NC, Chrissie's the sitter you want! She stayed with our two fellas for several days and knew precisely how to manage them, given her deep experience with dogs. Not only did she handle anxiety in one of them with aplomb, but gained trust and tail wags from them both in short order. She left our home in immaculate shape and truly went above and beyond. We 100% recommend her to take care of your critters—she's the real deal.
Emily is amazing! We were sooo nervous to leave our pup with someone new for the first time but Emily was super sweet, communicative, and sent tons of photos and updates!! Our dog Nolan loved her and we felt very confident about leaving him in Emily’s care. I would definitely recommend her to others in the future!
Rya was absolutely incredible! She took the best care of our doggo and truly treated him like he was part of her own family. As an overly protective pet parent, I def sent her a thousand reminders and instructions, and she handled every single one with kindness, patience, and never once made me feel like I was being over the top (even though I probably was 😂). She was always punctual, incredibly caring, and kept us updated with great communication throughout her stay, which gave us complete peace of mind. She also stayed overnight and left our home spotless, it looked just as good as when we left. If you're looking for someone who is trustworthy, compassionate, reliable, and genuinely loves animals, Rya is the one. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter, and we will absolutely be booking her again. Don't hesitate, book her now. You won't regret it!
Nolan was AWESOME! We did a meet and greet prior to sitting and he was detail focused on their needs. Also asked for more time to play and familiarize the dogs with him. While we were away he sent regular updates and photos/videos. When we returned our dogs seemed like their normal selves, having attention, play time, and relaxation. It was just the experience we were looking for. Highly recommend Nolan for all dog breeds and behaviors.
Jane did a great job with our dogs. We have a senior dog with meds and a 9 month old puppy. Jane kept everything in order and spent a lot of time with them. I really appreciated her puppy management and not crating him for overly long periods of time. She was communicative, forthcoming and left our house in tip top shape. I would definitely use Jane in the future.
Alexandra did an amazing job! We were gone for over 2 weeks out of the country and she was everything we could ask for. She spent a lot of time with the dogs and house was cleaner than when we left. She was in contact with us and sent updates and pictures regularly. Dogs were very well taken care of and highly recommended her!
Jan is fantastic! She met with Carlos a couple times beforehand to ensure he was familiar with her. She was very communicative. Jan provided excellent care, giving our pup all the snuggles while we were out of town. She even took the time to send us daily photos and updates. Highly recommend
We love Mandy! Our dog and cats warmed up to her right away, and it was clear they were in great hands. She went above and beyond to keep them comfortable and happy, and her communication was amazing the whole time. We could truly relax knowing our fur babies were being looked after by someone so kind and responsible. Five stars all around!
We highly recommend Madeline! She did an at home pet sitting for our husky. She is very professional and trustworthy and did a great job watching our girl. She sent photos and updates and even did extra things to help us out without being asked. Will definitely use again
Tiffany was great! Our two dogs seemed to really enjoy their weekend with her. She sent us lots of pictures throughout their stay and did a fantastic job cleaning up after herself and our 2 messy dogs. We would highly recommend Tiffany and would gladly book with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Myrtle Grove 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 774 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Myrtle Grove. 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 Myrtle Grove 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 Myrtle Grove 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 Myrtle Grove 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Myrtle Grove. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
