“Sarah was fantastic! She looked after my cat over Christmas and was punctual, communicative, and overall the perfect match for my fur baby. She sent a plethora of pictures and videos and even took leftovers out of the freezer (by request of course). I would highly recommend, and will definitely be booking again when in need.”
“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❤️”
“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.”
“Ashleigh was great! Our babies were very well taken care of, she sent pictures each visit, had great communication and we felt completely comfortable with her watching our pups”
About: I absolutely love animals. I've had dogs and cats since I was 6. Since then I've help train a service dog and fostered many other dogs. I currently have three dogs: chihuahua mix, pug rat terrier mix, and a great Pyrenees. I currently am a personal trainer so I don’t have a set schedule. I will be able to let the pet outside or spend time with them in between clients. I can take the pets on daily walks, depending on their schedule and when they like to. I like to know where the food is and if they get treats for doing specific things.
About: I’ve had many types of animals (farm, big, small, etc) my whole life as well as the ambition to be a veterinarian. I have basic husbandry and veterinary skills and knowledge. I am currently a senior in highschool and end class at 2:10. I am free weekends and open to caring for new types of pets! My animals are vetted and chipped, the cats are indoor outdoor an i have an 18 year old dachshund who is blind and deaf due to age, as well as a 3 year old deaf Australian shepherd who is trained using a Bluetooth buzz collar.
“She was absolutely amazing! Our kitten absolutely loved her haha and got plenty of play with her. Our shy older one did great with her also. She left amazing detailed reports of what went on in the visit and attached lots of photos. Will be rebooking for future drop in’s!”
“I had to book Callie unexpectedly. She came to the meet and greet and took notes on how to best serve my boy. Callie exceeding my expectations and did a wonderful job caring for my GSD. My boy appeared to have enjoyed himself, he played hard, and slept good! I would love to book future visits with Callie! Non-dog related: I noticed I had a package delivered and waa goinf to ask Callie if she could bring it in but saw on my camera review she had already brought it in without being asked. I really appreciated this gesture.”
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: Ive had dogs, cats, ferrets, turtles, fish and more ever since I was little. I currently have dogs and ferrets who are my whole world. I currently have plenty of free time not just for my own furry friends but to help others give their furry friends the best life possible. I have a senior citizen beagle who has severe hip dysplasia and arthritis he takes medication 3 times a day orally, I also have a 4 year old mix breed puppy who is high energy and loves going on hikes and adventures. I recently got a great pyrenees/husky baby who is my little panda baby but loves going on walks, playing outside, going for car rides and being social.
“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.”
“Kamryn has been a life saver with our last minute need for a check in with our baby, Maisie! Kamryn was great with communication, updates, and photos! We will be booking Kamryn, without hesitation, for any upcoming needs! ☺️”
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!
“Lexi is amazing!! She was super sweet with our old anxious dog and by the end he was whining because he missed her visiting him! Fantastic communication, reports and photos too. Would recommend Lexi in a heartbeat.”
“Kaylie was awesome with Asher and Sadie. She had patiences with them as it was storming and they were hesitant to go out. But she took them out a few times after the rain let up a little and they finally did their business. She was on time and provided details and asked lots of questions.”

I am a full-time hairstylist, but I am available on Mondays Sundays and Fridays. , Possibly Tuesdays since I have shorter days . I have half days on Saturdays.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Swansboro
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+!!!

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.
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.

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 pet, 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.
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.
