About: I have been around all types of animals my whole life, especially dogs. I have house sitting experience and I have taken care of other people's animals previously just to help out. I’ve owned rats, and I’m no stranger to scaly friends if you have those as well. I have my own dog who is my best friend! My schedule is completely open right now because I do side gigs as needed. I’m hoping to eventually make this a long term full time gig! I love all animals and pet care is one of my passions. Any animal of yours I will treat like my own! I do not want you to have worry when you are away.
About: I’ve taken care of small pups to large mastiffs. I have been around dogs of nearly every kind since I was 7. My family currently has an Akita and a Black Lab so I’m used to large puppers that have tons of energy. Currently working part time and in the National Guard so I’ve got lots of free time to care for pets that are in need of attention. Able to walk and take care of your pets in the New Bern/Cherry Point area. Father of 2 children 13 and 10 years old and 2 doggos that are both 4. I also currently hold a secret clearance in the National Guard and coach multiple youth sports. I’m available for the next few weeks to walk doggos in the area. I will be available day and night and can fit the walks into your schedule As a pet walking service, I primarily care for pets in the comfort and safety of our clients’ homes. Understanding that each pet has its own routine, preferences, and personality, so I tailor care to meet unique needs. During each visit or walk, I make sure pets are exercised, mentally stimulated, and given plenty of attention and affection. Also follow any feeding, medication, or special care instructions provided by the owner. Treating every home with the utmost respect—keeping things clean, secure, and following all access instructions closely. If needed, I provide check-ins, updates, and photos to give pet owners peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to maintain the pet’s normal routine as much as possible to reduce stress and ensure they feel safe and happy in their familiar environment.
“Beth is the best. She has done drop in visits for me twice, and exceeds my expectations each time. She loves my dogs and cat, and spoils them. She is super responsive to messages and follows directions perfectly. When I was out of state, my cat decided to sneak out the dog door, and got stuck outside. I messaged Beth early in the morning on the 4th of July, to ask if she could go get him back in the house, and she was ready to jump in her car and put him back in the house within minutes! I cannot tell you how scary it is to have your pet outside when you are several states away, but the relief to know that Beth was ready to respond and rescue Biscuit almost brought me to tears. I cannot say enough good things about Beth, and I think my animals would say the same thing!!”
“This was our first booking using this app, and I am thankful that Andrea was easy to work with. We booked last minute and did not have time to meet and greet, and she was accommodating of this. Our address is tricky and doesn't always show up on maps, but she was able to work around that, too. She sent us photos of our two cats, daily updates about their activity, and made sure they had food and water.”
“Caitlin did a great job! Very courteous to our cats and our house. It’s also very helpful having a vet tech as our cat sitter because one our cats needs daily medicine. Will definitely use Caitlin’s services again and highly recommend to anyone else.”

“Amanda was very pleasant to work with. She was very personable with my 2 cats, especially with my younger male adopted as a stray. He is very timid and runs from strangers, but he let her pet as shown by the many pictures she posted. I will definitely book her again.”
“Kayleigh did a tremendous job watching my dogs. She was very consistent in her schedule with drop in visits. I received dozens of daily pics of the pups playing which gave me peace of mind they were happy without me being home. Communication with her was very helpful and left me with no doubt about my dogs’ well being. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter”
About: We are a dog family through and through. My husband and I have had dogs our whole lives. Together we have always had a dog as well. Large house with a fenced in back yard. Lots of space to run. We have a large black lab/Shepard mix that requires a lot of exercise so that is a regular thing. We both work full time but will will have weekend open to watch your pets. On the weekends we are up with our dog by 6 AM and would not leave for more than a couple hours at a time. We have a fenced in backyard and a nice area for walking the dogs. We have a 5 year old 100lb lab Shepard mix. He loves other dogs but due to his size and energy other dogs don’t always love him. Would need to do a meet and greet to make sure they would be okay

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - New Bern
Jolynn took wonderful care of Simon while I was away at a conference! She spent time playing with him and sent me great pictures so I could see how he was doing while I was gone. She was respectful of my home, followed all of my instructions for Simon’s care, and gave me peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. I will definitely call on Jolynn again the next time I need a sitter for Simon. Highly recommend!
This was our first time using Rover and Caitlin was so sweet and loving to our pups! They instantly loved her and waited for her with so much anticipation. She played and loved them like her own. I loved reviewing her cards and pictures! I know they’ll be excited to see her again soon!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a New Bern stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.

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.
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.
