About: Hi! I'm Lindsay, a lifelong dog lover and owner, and caring for animals has always been a part of my life. I've been pet sitting since college, both in my own home and in clients' homes. I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines, and I work hard to make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while you're away. From energetic puppies to laid-back senior dogs, I enjoy building trust with pets and providing the same level of care I would want for my own animals. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands. 🐾❤️ I'm currently on summer break from teaching, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I can provide consistent attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship to help keep your pet happy and comfortable while you're away. I want every pet to feel comfortable and cared for while their family is away. I will follow your pet's regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, and playtime. I provide plenty of attention, affection, and supervision to help pets feel safe, relaxed, and happy.

About: I have always had a heart for dogs and have always been an animal lover, I have a variety of animals and that is what makes me different I am a college student at Nc state but my courses are earlier in the day and I do not have class on Fridays so if there was weekend that an anima needed to be watch I can be there! I take care of my pets like I take care of myself if I am eating they will be fed. I love to be outdoors, so I always make sure I bring my animals outside and do new things because it’s their first time living too.
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.
“Emma was very prompt and friendly. She met up with me and my pup before the initial walk. Emma sent updates and pictures and put my mind at ease while at work. Will be using her again!”

About: I love animals of all kinds! I will care for your pets as if they are my own when I am with them. I have owned dogs, cats and horses. I have taken care of a multitude of animals and catered to any special needs they may have: anxiety, medication, old age, loss of limbs, etc... You name it and I have done it. I’m very flexible with the needs of my clients! Just let me know what you need help with and we can get it taken care of. I have a large yard for your dogs to run and play. Also lots of good walking paths in the neighborhood. If I am in your home, I will take care of your animals as you would in their own environment.
About: I love animals, especially dogs, more than words can express! We have always had small dogs in our family since I was born. I could never imagine living without a dog in my household. In fact I have always had my miniature schnauzers as my fur babies since my early 20’s. I also use my endless dog walks as another form of exercise especially with the awesome beach roads all over the island that we are fortunate to enjoy living on the island. Since I never had children I have extremely spoiled animals. Me and my husband are retired and I work a very part time job so have a lot of flexibility with my schedule. My husband may also like to join in with my walks as well to help keep your pooch entertained and continue with our daily exercise regimen. If your pet does not do well on long walks please mention that so we don’t wear them out too much! I would like to walk your dog on the beach or beach access if allowed. If you would rather we stay on the neighborhood streets that’s fine too! My house/pet sitting service will include feeding, playing, walking, cleaning up pet waste in yard or litter box and light housekeeping such as vacuuming up pet fur if applicable. I have a very flexible schedule. I do work a few days a week part time but only 4-5 hr shifts at a time. I would love to be your pet’s next best friend! I am an extremely anal retentive pet owner and home owner. I probably take better care of my pets than my own self! We do not miss any yearly vet appointments and are very attentive to any ailments that may come along. I always say the worst part of being a pet owner is when they have to cross the rainbow bridge.
About: My family and I have been breeding Golden Retrievers for the past three years! I have had Goldens since I was little and I kept one from a litter we had in December 2023. I just finished my freshman year at UNC Charlotte and will be home for the summer. I have been dog sitting for people all four of my high school years! I am available all summer! I am looking for a summer job right now but just contact me and will be available to take care of your pup! I offer Drop-In Visits and Dog Walking services and I have a one year old Golden Retriever that can come along with me to play with your dog, if your dog would be okay with other dogs! I will do whatever you need me to do for your fur baby!

I am available days, night and weekends to provide loving, caring and nurturing care to you special companion(s) in your home.

About: I have over a year worth of experience working in a dog daycare! This means I have experience bathing, handling, feeding, administering medicine and even breaking up fights. I take pride in my care for the pets and my ability to take note and meet your pets specific needs! I have always loved animals and would love to get to meet and care for your furry babies! I recently moved into the area and I am looking for a way to bring extra income in as well as explore the community more! The environment when your pets are with me will be calm. Unless we’re playing a game of fetch or tug of war! Cuddles too! :)

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember ! Growing up, I spent much of my time volunteering at a local animal shelter alongside my grandmother, where I helped feed the cats, clean their spaces, and make sure they felt safe and cared for. I was also actively involved in her animal rescue work, regularly attending adoption events , walking and caring for adoptable dogs and cats , and helping animals find their forever homes. Those experiences taught me how to understand animal behavior, build trust with shy or nervous pets, and provide calm, patient care. Today, I’m a proud cat mom to two rescue cats of my own, so I understand firsthand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets. I’m experienced with animals of all personalities , from playful and social to timid or independent, and I always take the time to make sure each pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved. Whether your pet needs playtime, companionship, or just a gentle, reassuring presence while you're away, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I have a very flexible schedule. Any time you need , I can likely make it work ! Important info for house sitting bookings : I can provide care for most of the day & night. When booking this service , please send me a message and answer the following questions : - Are there any specific care instructions I should be aware of ? - Can your pet be left alone ? If so , for how long at a time ? I will be happy to petsit your animals in your home. Whether that means drop ins, house sitting, or dog walking, you can trust that your animals and your home will be in good hands with me. You can rest assured that when you book with me , your animals will get my full attention and care, and you as their owner will receive clear communication and updates from me every step of the way. I own two cats of my own that I love very much, so I understand just how important it is to make sure they are in good hands , safe , and well taken care of while you are away. I will take care of your fur babies as if they were my own !
About: Since early childhood I’ve had a love for animals. I partook in 4-H and FFA from age six to eighteen raising multiple animals. I’ve had multiple dogs in my home my entire life and have house sat for multiple families with multiple animals. I worked in animal husbandry as my first job and have been active since a very young age. I love walking and used to walk my dog Oscar to the river everyday. I recently moved to Hubert, and am working to finish my college degree. I’d love to get outside with some furry friends! Dogs will always hold a special place in my life even if I have to be states away from the dogs I grew up with. I’d love to provide other dogs with necessary, fun and lovable exercise! I’m currently attending Fresno State online. I have plenty of free time as I only have a part time job coaching gymnastics. I have my own vehicle and am used to having a thirty to forty five minute drive to work. I cannot currently house any dogs. I am very responsible when it comes to shutting gates behind myself and watching the door incase there are any escape artists. I have been around house pets and livestock my entire life. I’m always looking out for safety and wish to provide the best service.

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 :)

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Swansboro. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker 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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Swansboro. On Rover:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
