“She took amazing care of Stitch for the week and treated him as if he were her own. She sent tons of pictures, kept me updated the entire time, and made sure I always knew how he was doing and what he was up to. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely book with her again.”
About: Hi Everyone! My name is Anna and I've been raised around animals my whole life. I started caring for animals in high school when I would watch our family dog who was a large Akita mix, and other local pets in the neighborhood. I later adopted my cat Abby who has since traveled the United States with me. I love all animals and am happy to help out with any pet care needs you have for your furry friends! I recently moved to NC and also work at a couple local bars, I'm available for walks most days and house sitting depends on my work schedule - I'll always communicate with all requests regarding my availability! I will spend as much time as I can with your fur babies, giving them the same love and attention I would expect for my own cats and dogs.
“Karleigh was amazing with my dogs! they absolutely loved her and she really treated them like her own! We loved having her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter!”
“Once again, so thrilled with the care Alissa provided for our two pups so we could feel confident that they were safe and well-loved while we were away. And I think the house was in better shape than when we left! We so appreciate Alissa.”
About: I offer dog walking, potty breaks, and playtime as well as house sitting. I love being outside. I have had dogs and cats all of my life and I am very responsible and compassionate. I treat all pets as if they are my family. If you have a high energy dog I can definitely handle him/her and wear him out! I can also care for cats, fish, rabbits, etc. (no snakes please!) I can bring in mail, take trash cans to and from the curb on trash days, water plants, you name it! Message me for details!! I enjoy walking dogs and letting them out to use the bathroom first thing each morning. If they require constant care I can do that or if they’re fine to do their own thing I can also leave them to that. I prefer caring for pets in the pets home. This is more comfortable for them anyways. Doggy anxiety is a real thing! And when their family is out of town, it’s best to keep them in their own comfortable environment.
“Brittney was an amazing sitter! She was communicative, kind and our pups loved her! We ran into a flight delay and she was happy to extend her stay for several hours. We highly recommend Brittney and will be hiring her again!”
“Elizabeth was a great sitter - her calm, friendly personality was a perfect fit for our pup! We appreciated her reliability and communication throughout the process. We returned to a happy pup and a tidy house. We'd recommend her to others - Thank you, Elizabeth!”
“Allen was great! I needed a last minute sitter and Allen was the perfect choice. Great communication and put up with my silly dogs with no complaints. Left my house in great condition. I look forward to having him stay with my beasties again. Thank you so much! 💜”
About: NOTE: I am currently only pet and house sitting in client’s homes only, and doing a one week minimum. I am willing to travel for the right sit, so feel free to reach out even if it is outside of my area code :) Hi, I’m Glenna! I’m a registered nurse with many years of experience in women’s health, and I also work part time from home. I’m a single empty nester with time on my hands, and am now enjoying that by traveling to clients homes while they are away or on vacation. I am willing to travel almost anywhere; even a plane ticket away, if the stay requires at least a 2 week or more window of time therefore, don't let distance be a factor in choosing me. Animals have always been a big part of my life. My beloved dog Jax crossed the rainbow bridge last year, and I’m looking for something meaningful to help fill that void. I’ve had pets all of my life and have been dog sitting for years, so caring for animals feels natural and comforting to me. There’s nothing like the love and comfort they give and receive, and I cherish being part of that bond. You can count on me to keep your home in great shape and give your pets the love and attention they deserve while you’re away. I am also happy to do light chores like watering plants, take out trash, pick up mail, etc Even though I only have 3 testimonials on this site, I have been sitting for Trusted HouseSitters for a year now, and have done multiple sits across the country with 5 STAR REVIEWS😊 Please feel free to DM me for more information—thank you! 🫶🏼 I currently work remotely and part time therefore, I have a lot of time and attention to give to your home and fur babies! 😊 I can brush and groom, take walks, go to festivals, feed, give treats and even medications if necessary. (And don’t forget the hugs and kisses) 💋
“Kelsey is an amazing sitter! Our dog Gypsy took to her immediately, and they had the best time. Kelsey is so good at sending updates on how everything is going. She kept my house in perfect condition. It’s such an ease on my mind that she comes and stays and keeps Gypsy in her element. Highly recommend Kelsey!”
“Maddie was great and took great care of our dog while we were gone for one night. She was super communicative and sent lots of pictures so we could enjoy our time away without worrying about the dog. Will definitely contact her in the future for all of our dog sitting needs!”
“Cailin was the perfect sitter for our puppy, Wrinkles. She sent numerous photo updates throughout the day & was a great communicator. She treated Wrinkles as though she was her own. We will continue to use Cailin & would recommend her to any other pet parent!”

“Brittany was awesome for us and our two pups (one of whom is a bit slow to warm up to new people). Brittany was able to take care of our dogs exactly how they’re used to and was very communicative with us while we were away with messages and pictures! She even toughed out a big snowfall and made sure our pups were all set throughout it. Brittany treated our home with great respect and left things very neat, clean, and tidy. We will definitely be calling her when we need a sitter next!”
“Dori is the best! She sent pictures and videos of my little one and kept me updated with any concerns. She is thoughtful and thorough and I will definitely be using her again in the future!!”

Alex took great care of my Luca while we were gone for a week! We came back to a very happy dog and a super clean home!

Highly recommend him to care for your pets as if they were his own and we will be booking him in the future!!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Topsail Beach
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Topsail Beach on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of June 2026, there are 849 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Topsail Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Topsail Beach walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Topsail Beach maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Topsail Beach 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.

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.
