About: I love animals! I have had a dog or cat most of my life. I currently have Rocco, my 6 mth old golden retriever. He is the love of my life, outside of my wife. I am fit & I love the water. I love paddleboarding, boating, fishing & taking Rocco to the ocean where he jumps waves & says hi to everyone!! I have experience in grooming, training, administering medications and anything else your pet may need. My dog, prior to Rocco, was a cockapoo, named Winston, who was a part of our family until he was 18 yrs old. During his senior years he had special needs and required administration of Meds & a lot of TLC! I kept my sons two golden retrievers for a week at a time. I also made home visits to other people. I have let their dogs out, sometimes two times a day where we played fetch, walked them & gave them lots of love & affection. I will show your fur baby the same love. Let me show you how much your pet will love me!🐶 I have a very flexible schedule. I am looking for ongoing long-term set schedules but I will take one time visits as well.. I am home most of the time unless I'm in the water. I love taking my golden to the beach so he can jump the waves. Since I'm only 5 minutes from the ocean I dont need to travel much so my availability is wide open. I have a fenced back yard that is perfect for your fur baby. I live in a dog friendly neighborhood where most of the dogs know each other when we walk our golden. My golden loves to swim in my pool & jump waves at the ocean. We live 5 minutes from the beach. Dogs love to walk & meet & greet there. My golden is very friendly to other dogs. He plays with them until he wears completely out.
About: I started dog walking/sitting dogs of all kinds/ages at the age of 16! I’m currently a dog mama to my 1 year old Australian Shepherd/Labrador Retriever mix named October, and my 6 month old Golden Retriever named Dexter. October is my little ball of energy and is constantly keeping me on my feet, so I am very active and familiar with energetic and high maintenance breeds. I love dogs of all kinds and sizes, and have a widespread experience of catering to the needs of all dogs including those who require daily medication and special care. I’m currently a hairstylist full time with a schedule that allows me to have some flexibility. I am always willing to try to accommodate to your schedules if i’m able to during my scheduled work hours. My life currently revolves around my pups, which means my house & everything else in my environment is completely puppy/dog proofed to provide the upmost safe environment for my dogs and others.
About: In my house growing up, we always had a dog and cats. At one time we had 2 dogs, 3 cats, a bunny, 2 birds, and a chinchilla. I learned what a good home for good pet looks like, but I also learned, THEY train US more than we realize. A "good" pet feels safe and trusts the human they're with. A "good boy/girl" doesn't pee inside, because a "good human" takes them out/cleans their litter. A "good boy/girl" feels relaxed at home, because a "good human" gives them the exercise and energy outlets they need during the day! Let me be your "good boy or girl's" "good human" while you're away :) I work flexible 11am-5:00pm days in Swansboro. Midday walks are easy if nearby, otherwise I would love to spend my free time hanging with your best buddy(s) around my easy-to-adjust work days! I have no pets of my own currently, so your home will remain your pet(s)'s sole domain without territory conflict. As for your home space, I'm a very honest, clean, non-smoking human with a lot of love and respect for other people's material belongings, privacy, and vow to honor any requests or considerations. My 3 highest moral values are integrity, respect, and care. It's also a goal of mine that you return back to your home better than you left it! I'm just here to become best friends with your pet(s), but the process of earning your trust simultaneously, is an extra bonus :)
About: I’ve cared to dogs since I was 12, beginning with family pets and expanding to neighbors and friends. I helped raise a littler of ten black lab puppies, ensuring they received proper nutrition and constant affection. I’ve cared for many breeds in a variety of settings, including watching and managing up to 5 black labs at once, taking them on structured walks, playing with there favorite toys and keeping their routines calm and consistent. My experience cover feeding schedules, baths, crate safety and off leash play. I am currently a student at coastal Carolina community college as a dental assisting student. Mondays and Thursday I get out of class at 11:40 and 12:50. Tuesdays I arrive at school @11 and leave @3:40, Wednesdays 8-2:40 and Fridays 10-2:40. On weekends I’m available and times after school. I have a back yard, not fenced in. Pets in my home are not treated bad, not screamed at or hit to be punished. They are always treated like my own, with cuddles, little snacks if allowed and plenty of play time. They would go on walks and be seen by other individuals for petting if the owner is comfortable.
“Wendie and Jenny took incredible care of my two dogs. They communicated with me everyday, sending plenty of photos and updates to give me peace of mind while I was away. My dogs loved being in their care and I will hire them again the next time I need a pet sitter. Highly recommended :)”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Swansboro
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!!

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.

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.

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.

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.
