Alicianna was so amazing!!! She came last minute for us and did such a great job with our puppies. She was great with communicating with us and even took pictures of our babies when she got there. I have never trusted a stranger with our dogs in the past but will definitely be using her again.

Melissa is great! We met her through the Pocono Pack Walk that she organizes and she is the first person we have had walk Lena ever because we are so careful since Lena is dog selective/reactive.

About: Hi I’m Jastin! I’m 20 years old and I’ve been around and taken care of animals all my life. I have a heart for pets of all kinds, particularly dogs! I worked as a kennel attendant in Waxhaw, NC for almost two years. I have two pets of my own, a dog - Willow, and a cat - Maple. They are very dear to me and I would love to meet your pets and treat them as well as my own! I recently moved to Hubert, NC and work as a Vet Assistant in Jacksonville, NC. I work Monday- Friday, 8-5 so unfortunately I only have weekend (Friday evening - Sunday evening) availability as of now. I find it easier for me as well as your pet to care for them in the comfort of their own home. Your pets happiness and safety is always my top priority!

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.

Outstanding Cat Sitter — Above and Beyond! Rebekah was absolutely wonderful with our two cats, Sadie and Bella! During the five days Rebekah cared for our girls, we received updates twice a day, always with great photos and videos. Every message was thoughtful and “newsy,” and Rebekah never hesitated to respond whenever we reached out, which gave us the total peace of mind everyone wants while out of town. One of our cats, Sadie, worked herself into such a state that she developed diarrhea even before we left. When we let Rebekah know, she suggested adding pumpkin to Sadie’s diet—and voilà! Problem solved. We were so impressed by Rebekah’s attentiveness, knowledge, and genuine care for our cats. We came home to two happy, well‑cared‑for girls and couldn’t be more grateful. This was the first time we have used Rover or worked with Rebekah, but it absolutely won’t be the last. We highly recommend Rebekah and would book again in a heartbeat!

About: Hello! I’m Brooke! I absolutely love dogs (& all animals really)! I have my own dog, Puck, who I love to take to the lake, on walks and cuddle with. I have been dog sitting for 10 years and I love it. I currently do travel healthcare and I’m looking for a job on the side with my boyfriend’s help too. I can do walks, home visits, overnight sitting in your home and anything else you’d need for your furry friend. I can work with you and your schedule to try to find the perfect time to help out you and your pet. I look forward to hearing from you soon! Don’t hesitate to ask any questions to see if I’m a good fit! I work full time during the week but am free most weekends. My boyfriend also helps out and is an early bird who can do drop ins before 7am and after 5 pm. I have a patio that the dogs can sun bath on and a huge h fenced yard to let the pups run around to get some energy out.

About: I’ve grown up with aussies my whole life. I have fostered other aussies. I have also dog sat many other dog breeds and have loved everyone of them. I am also a groomer, I brush, bathe and trim fur babies. My love for animals only grows as I get older. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me for many years to care, groom and make sure their animals are well taken care of. At home my family has three tonkinese cats, two birds and one dog. I have never lived without an animal in our home and I couldn’t imagine not having any animal under my roof. I am a full time student, however with that comes the need for frequent breaks from studying. I love to be animals and rely on them just as much as they rely on me. I require to get myself outside at least 3 times a day. With the breaks from school that I require I can easily and gladly fill that time to take care of someone’s furry friend♥️ I can easily walk your animal as frequently as you’d prefer. I love the outdoors and showing them off. I thoroughly enjoy hikes and runs and anything outdoors. I will be a Nursing student at Liberty University and there are so many places to go around that allow animals.

About: My golden retriever and I moved to NC from the PNW this last year so we know how to adventure at its finest! I have grown up with many dogs and have taken care of every age. My goldie is 3 yo and very playful and full of love for the outdoors. We go on multiple walks a day, one of which entails trails or the beach and your doggy would be receiving the same care! I am working full time Monday-Wednesday & Friday, so am completely available and home full time on Thursday, Saturday/Sunday for a fun day with the pups! I currently walk my dog 2-3 times a day even during the week days and spend a lot of time outdoors as she’s young and energetic! She is always a big time snuggler and I look forward to spending time playing and cuddling with your pup as well! If you need pet care during the week I go for a long walk w my pup in the morning and as soon as I’m home from work, I do not crate her during the day so if your dog would do well I can do either! I do also occasionally come home on my lunch to let her out for a short walk as well if time allows. I live in a home with a fenced in backyard with a doggy door. Any speciality care that is desired, I am ready to give!

Ashleigh went above and beyond with our fur babies! We have 3 rescues, all with different personalities and issues. She even had success with my overly anxious, fearful girl with severe separation anxiety! Ashleigh is a true professional and must be a dog whisperer! 😊 She understood my directions regarding each dog’s unique personalities and tips to help with each one and did an awesome job! Her communications are prompt, detailed and friendly! We definitely recommend her and will use again!

We have used Emma many times. Daisy Mae just loves her. Her report cards are detailed and we love all the photos. We are always comfortable leaving Daisy Mae in her care. This last trip we had an issue with a beeping smoke alarm from low battery. Emma jumped right in to take care of it so Daisy Mae would be more comfortable. We appreciate her so much!!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Swansboro

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Swansboro on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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

As of September 2026, there are 624 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Swansboro. 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 Swansboro 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.

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 Swansboro 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!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Swansboro with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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

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

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.
