“Alexis took great care of our dogs while we were away for the holidays! They seemed to really enjoy her care and company, and she went the extra mile making sure they had everything they needed. She was also very communicative and kept us informed at all times. 10/10, would book again.”

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.

About: I have a very well happily trained service animal that helps other animals and people keeping everyone happy. My goal is to always keep the animal happy while being trained. Every walk is to bring happiness to the animal. Every drop in visit is to bring an animal a peace of mind an happiness. My hope is to always bring the owner a peace of mind along with the animal an a genuine happiness at the end of the day so that every animal and owner can feel at peace. Overnight stays I hope to just give peace at mind to Owners and animals, if there are every any concerns I will always send photos of the animals doing daily things at their usual times. I am currently in school for my bachelors and work a full time job. However, I always make time to take my pups on close to a mile walk a day. Along with 30 min of training on necessary manners and any tricks we are working on at the time. They get fed 2 times a day with appropriate vitamins and supplements for each of my animals! I always check with owners about any toys that they have along with any children toys in the home that I need to be aware of or smaller items they could choke on or get into.

“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. ❤️”

About: Hello! My name is Ariel and I’ve owned/grew up with dogs my entire life. They hold an extremely special place in my heart. I’ve dog sat starting at the young age of 12 years old. I’ve dog sat for friends, family, and neighbors. It’s something I truly enjoy. I find it to be therapeutic as well. If anything is asked of me that enhances a dog’s spirit, mood, and health it’s pretty rare if I’ll decline a request. I start with building trust with the individual pet and their owner. I believe this is the core of the relationship. When you are on vacation, your pup is as well. Bonding with animals is special. I take this responsibility seriously as I am watching someone’s family member. I am currently a stay at home dog mom. I am available at all hours for needs relating to pet care. I am flexible with availability. I care for pets depending on their specific requirements. I believe in giving a lot of love and building trust. I don’t do anything I wouldn’t do to my own dogs. My pets are spoiled rotten, but live by a routine that benefits their individual needs and happiness. My availability is extremely open and I would plan my personal schedule around my dog sitting schedule. My pup and other 4 legged clients are my top priority. I take my dog out 3 times a day and we we go on a short walk twice a day. Your pup would receive the additional or the same care as my Yorkie Mix

“Destaney was great! I can tell my furbaby was very well cared for. She is so nice and was very communicative and understanding of my old fat boy LoL. He got so much love and pets and treats! My greatest concern with him is ensuring he receives his medicine and receives it on time. We talked through how he has become aware of every trick in the book. She successfully pilled him when she had to, per our initial discussion. She even figured out how to ensure he took it with ease each time after that. I am very picky and I highly recommend her for care of your fur babies. Flawless care that put me at ease for a trip to see some family.”

About: I’ve always had dogs in the home since I was little. I can help train your dogs tricks if you’d like or just be another loving person to keep an eye on your animals as they are family! I’ve taken care of horses, dogs, cats, snakes, lizards and the occasional birds! Currently looking to make this my full time job so I’ll have plenty of availability to take care of your beloved pets! As long as I have no prior engagements! I can crate your dog if needed. I don’t have a fenced in backyard yet but more than willing to take them out on leash walk them around and play with them! Maybe even teach some new tricks!

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!

“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: 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: 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’m happy to serve Carteret County. I’ve grown up around all sorts of animals - dogs, cats, horses, chickens, etc. I’ve always loved animals. I also have experience with animals with special needs. I am interested in walking dogs and checking in on pets. I work full time, but am available on my days off and in mornings or afternoons after my regular job. I am available most weekends. For now, I plan to do drop ins and walk dogs. Safety is top priority. I believe in meet and greets before working with animals to make sure the animal and owner is comfortable. I work full time and available most evenings and on my days off. Message me to check my availability. I am usually pretty flexible with my schedule! I am currently not able to accept animals in my own home. I may be able to offer this service in the future, but not at this time.

Tuuli loves Ashleigh. She was happy and sassy when I got home. The house was straight and neat, the dishes were done and all instructions were followed. I'll definitely use Ashleigh again when I go out of town. It's comforting to know I'm leaving my cat with someone I trust. A+!!!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Swansboro

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Swansboro is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $24 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 October 2026, there are 649 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Swansboro. 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 .

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 , 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 Swansboro. On Rover:

  • 94% 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
