“During our 7 day absence, Jenna took amazing care of our big, socially demanding, sweet cat!! Daily reports and pics clearly reflected interactive play time and our satisfied cat. Upon return, our cat was very settled and did not show any signs of stress. In addition, Jenna took care of the environment. Our cat is a messy eater and sheds horribly. No evidence of said mess was left behind. We are already planning our next experience with Jenna❤️”

About: I grew up with cats and dogs, and pet sat for neighbors and friends. I’ve basically never gone without having a dog. I love all animals and currently have a dog of my own. I’ll be starting school soon so I’ll have the next couple of months off. I’ll be able to do multiple walks, feeds/ visits a day. I treat every animal with respect and care as if they were my own. I understand that every animal is different and requires a different level of care.

About: I have been caring for dogs since I was 11 years old and currently have two small Peekapoos of my own. I absolutely love animals and take great pride in providing them with the care, attention, and love they deserve. It would be a pleasure to help care for your pets whenever you need! I’m currently available primarily on weekends, Friday through Sunday, and I will do my best to keep my schedule open and up to date. I may also be available for later drop-ins and or dog walking during the weekdays once I am finished with work. I’m happy to work with your schedule and will do my best to accommodate your pet care needs whenever possible! I hope to be a friendly, dependable, and caring caregiver for your pet, making sure they receive everything they need throughout the day. I would love to take them on walks, provide plenty of attention and companionship, and help with any other care they may need in your home. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away!

About: Experienced in animal rehabilitation with a lifelong background growing up on a farm, providing compassionate, attentive care to multiple dog breeds and animals of all ages. As a young adult with no children or personal pets, I offer a calm, spacious environment with plenty of one-on-one attention—perfect for shy dogs needing comfort or outgoing pups ready for play and companionship. Since I’m in school, I’m only available Thursday–Sunday to be home and take care of them. If you’re comfortable with your pet being alone for up to 6 hours, I’d be happy to discuss scheduling. I want to make sure I’m able to provide your pups with the best care, attention, and companionship while they’re with me. When caring for pets, I pay close attention to their body language and individual needs to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and respected. My home has a fenced backyard where they can use the restroom, play, and get exercise. Pets can stay comfortably inside the house or in the garage depending on their needs and preferences. I am happy to discuss any specific routines, requirements, or accommodations to help provide them with a safe and enjoyable stay.

Emerald Isle, NC, 28594

About: I have always grown up with animals and my love for them led me to a job at a pet resort. I was a kennel technician for 4 years which provided me great insight to care for all types of furry friends. I just graduated college from UNC Charlotte and home in Emerald Isle for the summer. Most days I workout and hang with my family so my schedule is pretty flexible. I always try to keep each pet’s routine as close as possible to what they’re used to because I know how stressful change can feel—especially for anxious pets. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive, and I make it my priority to provide comfort, consistency, and lots of love while they’re away from their parents.

“Hannah is absolutely wonderful! She is such a kind, caring, and dependable dog sitter, and I honestly couldn’t ask for anyone better to take care of my pups. Her communication is amazing, and she always keeps me updated, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. She is incredibly attentive to the dogs and really takes the time to make sure they’re comfortable, happy, and well cared for. She’s also so easy-going and flexible, which I appreciate more than I can say. Plans change, things come up, and Hannah is always so understanding and willing to adapt without ever making you feel like you’re a burden. Most importantly, I can tell that she genuinely loves animals and treats my dogs like they’re her own. I never have to worry when they’re with her, and that is priceless. I would recommend Hannah to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, responsible, and just genuinely wonderful to have taking care of their pets. ❤️”

Jacksonville, NC, 28546

About: I’ve been a dog owner for over 5 years and have about 6 years of experience caring for pets of friends and family, including walking, pet sitting and overnight stays. I have two rescue dogs of my own, so I have lots of experience with shy, anxious and socially nervous pups who may need a little extra patience and reassurance to feel comfortable. I’ve cared for dogs ranging from small puppies to larger breeds and have experience with different personalities and energy levels, including reactive and high-energy dogs. I’m also comfortable following special diets, giving medications and caring for dogs with allergies and other needs. I’ve always been a huge animal lover, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s individual personality. Whether they’re playful and energetic or happiest cuddled up on the couch, I’m patient, attentive and happy to meet them where they are. My current schedule is very flexible, so I have broad availability for weekday, weekend and overnight care. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and can accommodate multiple walks or potty breaks, regular feeding schedules and plenty of playtime and attention throughout the day. I’m also open to longer stays when my schedule allows. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I know from having two shy rescue dogs of my own that every animal has different boundaries, routines and ways of feeling safe, so I take the time to let pets get comfortable with me at their own pace. I’m attentive to instructions and happy to follow your pet’s normal feeding, walking, medication and bedtime routines as closely as possible. I also understand how much trust it takes to welcome someone into your home and will always treat your space with care and respect. Communication is important to me, so you can expect regular updates and plenty of photos while you’re away! I’m also happy to help with small household needs like bringing in mail or packages and caring for plants during overnight stays.

About: I’ve had big dogs, small dogs, and puppies! I love to teach them tricks and go on walks. I’m used to lazy dogs and high energy dogs! I’m currently working part time from home so I have plenty on time to take care of your dog! I love to play fetch with my dog and walk her around. I have a fenced in backyard. My dog, Sadie, is friendly and likes to sleep most of the day. I have a crate for her if I need to put her up!

About: I have cared for dogs and cats over the last 25 years. I have my own dog and cat but have also cared for friends dogs and cats. I currently cannot have them in my home but it is easy for me to let them out, walk them, feed them, brush them and give them love. I have given medication to both dogs and cats and have cared for seniors as well. I am available evenings and weekends. I work Monday through Friday, with a volunteer job Sunday mornings. I am able to care after 4:30pm during the week and pretty much all day on Saturday. If I am letting your pet outside at your house I will be with them and watch them the whole time. I am unable to have them in my home at this time. I will spend time playing fetch or whatever I can to make your dog/cat happy.

About: For as long as I can remember, I have grown up with both dogs and cats! I have been surrounded by them whether it be them being my own pets( or should I say my own family members because let’s face it, they are our family), my relatives house and even my neighbors house when babysitting. I know it can be hard leaving your fur baby alone, I just hope that I can make them and you comfortable! I am a full time teacher at Camp Lejeune! I work Monday through Friday from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm so I am available weekdays after 5:45 pm and then all weekend long. I take hour lunches so if in a nearby neighborhood I can let them out during the day or frequently on the weekends! In order to keep you and them at the most comfortable, I am able to house sit and take care of them in the comfort of your own home. I am 100% honest so that everyone has a happy, healthy and most importantly and safe stay!

About: I've always had an unending love for dogs. To me, they are truly God's gift to us, bringing joy, loyalty, and endless companionship. Over the years, I've had the pleasure of caring for many furry friends, ensuring they stay happy and safe while their loved ones are away. My true passion lies in making sure every pup feels loved, secure, and healthy during their time with me. Whether it's a playful romp in the park, a cozy cuddle session, or simply ensuring they have everything they need, my priority is your dog's well-being. It's safe to say that I've earned the title of the "Favorite Fur Aunt" among my clients. There's nothing more rewarding than seeing a wagging tail and knowing I've made a difference in a pet's day. I look forward to meeting your furry family members and providing them with the love and care they deserve while you're away. I am currently attending school online so I have plenty of time to care for your pups! I am available for short-notice bookings, drop-in services as well as care on the weekends. At this time I only offer services in my client's home. I have a small pooch that will come with me if it is permitted, otherwise I will keep him at home or in a separate area. The care I provide your fur babies depends on your specific request but my main goal is to keep them happy and healthy. You will also receive updates with photos and videos.

About: Growing up, I’ve always had a passion for animals and have always had pets of my own. I started pet sitting around age 9, caring for my neighbor’s three dogs while she traveled for work. I helped with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and making sure they received plenty of love and attention while she was away. My love for animals has only grown over the years. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets, because they truly are part of the family. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs, and I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. TLC goes a long way! I currently have my own French Bulldog, Toast, so I know firsthand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s hands. Whether your pet loves walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to make their stay or visit feel as close to home as possible. I look forward to meeting you and your pets 🥰 I was definitely born to pet all the dogs and cats! I’m currently a college student taking online classes, which gives me a flexible schedule for boarding, house sitting, drop-ins, and walks. I recently moved to Jacksonville, NC and am currently searching for a full-time job. In the meantime, what better way to earn some extra money than doing something I genuinely love; caring for animals! I’m home often and have plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and lots of love and attention. 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I have a backyard for supervised playtime and a spacious neighborhood that’s great for walks. If your dog uses a crate at home, feel free to bring it and I’ll happily set it up so they can maintain their normal routine. I also encourage you to bring their favorite blanket, bed, toy, or anything with familiar smells from home so they have a cozy, familiar space where they can feel safe and comfortable. I’ll follow any specific instructions you provide and give your pet plenty of love and attention while they’re in my care.

About: What sets em apart is my patience, kindness, and genuine love for animals. I treat every pet with care and take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I'm happy to provide personalized care, whether that means playtime, walks, or a little extra patience with shy or senior pets. I currently work full-time, so I’m available on weekdays after 3:30 PM. I plan my schedule to make sure I can give each pet the time, attention, and care they deserve. I’m happy to help with evening walks, feeding, playtime, drop-in visits, and keeping pets comfortable while their owners are away. Whether caring for pets in my home or my client's home, I focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their normal routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest, while making sure they get plenty of attention and affection. In a client's home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully to keep their pets' routines consistent. I'm happy to provide updates and photos so owners know how their pets are doing.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Stella

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Stella is $23 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $36 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.

As of November 2026, there are 613 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Stella. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

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

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 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.
