About: Hi there! 🐾 With over 12 years of dedicated pet care experience, I'm here to ensure your furry friend's happiness and well-being while you're away. From overnight stays to playful walks, interactive playtime to crate and potty training, I've got your pet's needs covered. Having my own six-year-old dog, who's been my faithful companion since she was a puppy, has enriched my understanding of the bond between humans and their pets. I cherish every moment spent in the company of dogs and cats, and my passion for their well-being drives me to provide the best possible care. When your pet is in my care, rest assured they'll receive not only attention and affection but also the highest level of care, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and happy in your absence. Let's embark on this journey together and make sure your pet feels right at home! I work an 8-5 job, but I'm committed to accommodating your pet's needs. I can provide care before and after work, as well as during my one-hour break. Let's collaborate to create a tailored schedule that suits your pet's routine. My journey in pet care has led me to care for a diverse range of furry companions, from energetic puppies to wise elderly dogs, and every personality in between. I understand the unique requirements of each age group and am committed to providing tailored care to meet their individual needs.
About: I’ve grown up with all kinds of animals, so size and breed don’t matter to me! I’ve been Petsitting since I was 12. I’m experienced in dog walking, cat sitting, play dates, and overnight stays. I adopted and trained my pitbull mix 3 years ago I’m currently available 24/7. I work in the film industry so this season is slow for me currently. So anytime you need someone, I’ll be there! I care for pets in their clients home by following their regular lifestyle! Whatever they are used to is what I will become accustomed to. No need to disrupt their day to day lives. I’m just here to give them love and take care of the needs they/their parents have
About: I have lived around dogs all my life, taking care of a variety of breeds from Golden Retrievers to Belgian Malinois. I love spending time with animals and try to bring them the same joy they bring me. I work a full time job Monday to Friday but I usually work remotely on Monday’s and Friday’s. Usually pretty available on the weekends to take care or walk some dogs. I have a fenced yard in my home where your dog will enjoy some play time and potty time. If the dog likes walks or runs I am more than happy to bring them with me in my runs or walks. Dog’s are more than welcome in the house to cool off from the outdoor heat. They can sleep inside or outside however the owner prefers.
About: Where do I begin... Dogs hold a place close to my heart! I have owned dogs for OVER 10 years and I have never met one that hasn't made a good impression on me for life. My experience ranges from elderly care to puppies/teenage years, female and male dogs! No two animals are alike, therefore care looks different for everyone and I believe each pet deserves to experience quality care away from their owner. Fun fact: my mom still calls me the dog whisperer like the show haha On my weekends I do have availability for Fridays (5:30-8pm) And Saturday -Sunday (10am-8pm) **Weekdays after 5:30pm can be discussed if needed by the owner(s)** My pets were crate trained, so I'm familiar with that aspect! With my past experience in pet sitting, I also am familiar with following a schedule for your fur (or hairless) baby.
About: I've had furry family in my life for as long as I can remember. From having my own pups to watching pets for friends and family, I love all animals and it would be my pleasure to love yours. My schedule is currently open for whatever you and your pet needs. Let me know your pet's schedule and I will be happy to accommodate. It is my pleasure to spend time with your pet/pets. Great care is taken to make sure your beloved family pet is well taken care of and happy.
“Laine was fabulous and will absolutely use her again! She checked on my pup every day for a week and . gave him lots of attention and love. She even messaged me the one day asking about his lunch when I forgot to leave it out making sure he got fed!”
“Madison was awesome! She was flexible with our introductory visit and the care schedule and accommodated our every need. Madi always sent detailed visit information each and every time, including cute pictures and lots of cuddles. My pups were immediately at ease with Madi as soon as she first met them, you can tell she really loves pets and I was very at ease and confident in her care. She was always on time and followed their care perfectly by memory (because I forgot to leave instructions!), down to giving them their daily medication. I would recommend Madison and will definitely book her again!”
About: Hi! I’m Ally, and I’ve always had such a big love for animals! I previously worked at Dogtopia, a dog daycare, where I spent my days caring for dogs of all different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I was responsible for supervising playgroups, making sure everyone was safe, and giving each dog the attention and care they needed. That experience taught me so much about working with different dogs and understanding their behaviors. I also had to take a course to know learn behaviors and when to read their responses, as well as when to know when they are all types of sick or injuries. I genuinely love spending time with animals and will always treat your pets like they’re my own! I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone, and I would love to be someone you can trust to keep them happy, safe, and loved while you’re away! I’m currently a college student here in Wilmington and also play soccer! My schedule is pretty flexible outside of classes and practices i have morning practice that ends at 9 and then only one in person class on mondays. So I have time throughout the week and on weekends to care for your pets. I love spending time with animals and would be more than happy to work with you to find times that fit both of our schedules! I’ll always make sure your pets get the time, love, and attention they deserve! Your pet’s safety and happiness will always be my top priority! With my previous experience working at Dogtopia, I’ve learned how important it is to understand each dog’s personality and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll always respect your space and follow any routines or instructions you have for them. Whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just giving them some extra love and attention, I’ll make sure they’re well taken care of! I also love sending pictures and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pets are happy and safe while you’re away!
“Gavin took wonderful care of our cat! He came highly recommended from another sitter and was prompt, communicative, and our cat loved him. We really appreciated the time Gavin spent playing with our cat and keeping him company, and we would book Gavin again without question. Thank you!”
About: With a lifelong love of animals and experience, caring for everything from tiny puppies to giant breeds, rescue dogs and cats, I bring patience, compassion, and a genuine understanding of each pets individual needs. Growing up with a variety of animals has taught me that every animal has their own personality, comfort level, and way of showing affection.

I take the time to make sure they feel safe happy and cared for. You can expect dependable care, plenty of affection and thoughtful communication while you’re away. I know how much your pets mean to you and I want you to feel ease knowing they’re carrying hands and walks in potty breaks to playtime, companionship.

I aim to provide consistent dependable care that fits naturally into your pet day. I’m happy to discuss recurring visits as well as an occasional bookings and I’ll always do my best to accommodate your pets needs. When caring for your pets in your home, I want you to feel just as comfortable trusting me with your space as you do with your pets, I’ll treat your home the same respect and care I would my own keeping things tidy, following your household routine, and making sure everything is just as you left it. My priority is to help your pets feel safe and comfortable in a familiar environment. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special needs, while giving them plenty of love and attention along the way.

“Lauren was amazing! We've lucked out and have been able to have family or friends come over to let our pups out when we have to be away for long periods of time, until now. We reached out to Lauren via Rover to come over and check on our pups. One was extremely worried about her presence and the other warmed up after a while. She is communicative and pleasent to talk with via the app. Her Rover Report Cards were detailed (with adorable pics) and helped put our minds at ease with a stranger caring for our pups. Thanks Lauren ?”
“Courtney has been my go to sitter and hasn’t disappointed once. Every time I see the pictures of my baby girl she looks like she has been the happiest she has ever been. Great job Courtney thanks for all the help!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and breeds.I’ve grown up with pets in the home, and I now have my own 3 year old pitbull rescue Demi. Chihuahua, Black Lab, Golden Doodle, Pitbull, Maine Coon, Tortie, and any other lovable combo your fluffy friend may be, I’m there to take care of them while you’re away. I’m comfortable with all sizes, and temperaments, my current dog is dog reactive and I work with her everyday to make sure she gets the attention and training she needs to be more confident on her walks. We try to do a minimum of 2.5 miles per day. I love to walk and hike and will take your furry friend along for as much as they can handle. I currently work a flexible work from home remote job, so I can work from your home while pet sitting, or drop in more frequently when they need extra care or attention during the day. I love to walk, and currently live in a very dog friendly walkable area. As long as your dog loves to walk, I will bring them to the beach, trails, parks, or your neighborhood. Wherever you and your pet feel most comfortable!
About: Growing up I had a goldfsh, a guinea pig named Peanut and finally after a lot of begging a beautiful rescue border collie mix named Phoebe. As a teenager I didn't always understand the responsibility and caring of a dog , however Phoebe always loved me, even when she was diagnosed with cancer and not having some good days. Every time I came home there she was so happy to see me. It was then I realized there is no love like a dogs love. Years have passed and so has Phoebe but she was my first dog and I will always cherish that. I now have three golden retriever fur babies. I adore them and love taking care of them even though they really take care of me. I love all dogs and being active so dog walking feels like a great fit! I'm available Monday- Friday's from 6:00am to 7:00am and anytime after 5:00 pm for walks and any time Until 4:00pm on Saturdays. Sundays are flexible and can work with a schedule. Right now I will not be boarding any dogs or house sitting. As far a dog walking I am very punctual, great with meeting and learning new dogs behaviors, I also live in Castle Hayne area and enjoy walking the paved trail at northern regional park.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Skippers Corner is $14 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $20 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 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.
