Erin was amazing! I always stress when I leave my pets but I know they were in good hands. She communicated effectively and I knew I didn’t have anything to worry about, would 100% have her watch them again.

About: I have been caring for friends, family and neighbors pets for as long as I can remember. From large to small, from check ins to walks to drain energy, I’m happy to help. I currently work from home and can adjust my schedule within reason to assist with caring for your pet either through check ins or walks to release some energy. I currently do not offer pet sitting services in my home, but will happily come to your pet for their needs. Please let me know if I can help you!

Always happy to have Kayla watching our pups and fish! She’s vigilant to make sure everything is good at the house and went above and beyond to get debris out of our koi pond after a storm so the pump wouldn’t break!

Dace took care of our cat when we were out of town for a few days. She was prompt, spent plenty of time with our cat, and sent really cute pictures. Our cat isn’t the friendliest gal but Dace was able to earn her trust and she is a fantastic fit. Highly recommend Dace to take care of your fur babies. She’s awesome!!

April helped out getting my senior dog outside a couple times a day while I was at work and my husband was away. She was super consistent and communicated regularly about how Rufus was doing. On top of that, she was flexible and gave him his medications and dealt with his old man issues when they occurred. It was always easy to get ahold of her, and she always checked in about anything else I wanted her to do with the old man.

About: I have been working with multiple dog trainers to learn how to handle dogs. I have four of my own that I have trained and work with daily, as well as a new puppy that I’m training to be my service dog! I would love to give your pet the opportunity to have nice walks around your neighborhood, with a dog lover who will give them the attention that they deserve! I will give them the personal touch that makes a long lasting dog walker. If you are having trouble with loose leash walking, I can do some simple exercises to better your dogs quality of life. I hope to work with you in the future, as I would love to meet and work with all the dogs I can! I spend a lot of my days with my service dog in training and learning new languages! I have recently moved to the area and found that this would be a great way to spend my time doing what I love. For dog walking, I’m very observant and will always keep your dogs safety in mind. You dog having fun while ensuring they get the exercise they need is my main goal. Since I’m also a beginner dog trainer, I will offer simple services to help the walks go much smoother. I may ask for your pups regular treats, to ensure they don’t get a stomach ache from new foods they aren’t used to. I will always have you and your dogs best interest in mind.

About: I’m available most days to play and care for your animals. I’d love to take them running, playing, and of course to snuggle them! You can expect that I will love your pets as if they are my own. I haven’t had a pet in about three years (my doggie of seven years unfortunately got sick and passed) so I’m looking to ease back into having a pet by doggie-sitting a bit before I commit to a full time furfriend. I’m very entergetic so I have no problem taking on your active pets but I also like quiet time and movies for your more laid back animals. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have! I’m currently working part time and travel on weekends so I have a pretty flexible schedule to play with your pup! If I’m traveling in gone most weekends, and if I’m working it mostly afternoons. At this time I am not doing boarding but I like to ensure that your pet feels safe with me in your home while house sitting by doing a visit prior to the booked stay.

About: I love animals and have grown up with dogs in my family my entire life. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to make sure your furry friend is in good hands. I make sure their safety and comfort is my top priority. I care for your pets like my own, so your doggy or kitty will be treated like family. Walking pups is more than just my part-time job, it's my passion. Being able to give your animals the best possible care is what I love about my job. From the moment we meet I give your pet my complete attention and care and tend to the needs of your beloved pet or pets. While you're at work or out of town, I'll be on-call to provide updates on the well-being of your dog or cat whenever you miss them. Further, if you have any special requests or if your pet has any special needs, I will be happy to accommodate them! I’m a pet-loving person with plenty of free time. I have a flexible schedule, and love to play with dogs, being that it is my passion! I walk my usual furry friends throughout the weekdays and when needed on weekends. I live in South End, which is one of the safest and best-loved neighborhoods in Charlotte. If you’ve been in the area, you know how much dogs love getting outdoors here and exercising! I provide drop-in visits, and walking. I care for pets in my clients home by playing with them with their favorite toys, in their backyard, and taking them on walks, making sure they sniff and smell all of their favorite spots in the neighborhood. I’ll also send you photos and videos of your pet while you're away, and if you have any questions feel free to call or text me anytime!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Oak Island

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Oak Island on Rover is $21.4 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 .

As of August 2026, there are 1,177 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Oak Island. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Oak Island 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Oak Island. On Rover:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% 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.

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.
