“Man, i dont know where to begin with how great Christy was. Right off the bat, we unfortunately had some difficulties with her guest code not working to enter our home. We were on a flight and didnt realize she was having trouble, so she patiently waited for over half an hour for us to respond to let her in. Already going above and beyond what some other sitters might do. We also chose to have her stay in our home, which was a first for us. We were a but nervous about allowing someone we had just met into our home, but Christy immediately put us at ease with her check ins and photos of our pup while she stayed. She even brought our garbage can back from the curb, which was again, so above and beyond what we asked of her. She was a pleasure to meet right from the get go, she gave us several morning, play time, and bedtime photos of our pup, she left our home in immaculate shape, and showed immense patience when we had our trouble getting her code to work. I seriously can NOT recommend Christy enough, and will absolutely be hiring her again for our future needs. Thanks so much, Christy!”
“Abby has done it again! She provided outstanding care for our dogs and cats while we were away for 5 days. Just like before, we returned to happy pets and a spotless home. It’s clear Abby is a natural with animals and she treats them like her own. She’s an excellent communicator and sends regular pictures, videos and update’s. We feel extremely fortunate to have found such a reliable, caring pet sitter. Can’t recommend Abby enough!”
“Erin was amazing! We were out of state for a wedding the weekend of July 4th and Erin took great care of our two dogs, dealing with 2 nights of fireworks and very scared pups. She kept us updated on how they were doing and sent us pics. We appreciate her ensuring the safety and well being of our dogs and managing their anxiety during all the noise. Thank you Erin!”
“Great experience! Andrea was great with our dogs, showed up when we expected her to and took her time with hanging out with our pups. We already have a 2nd booking done and feel confident our pups will be well taken care of!”
About: I treat every pet as if they’re my own—with love, patience, and genuine care. What truly sets me apart is my reliability and responsibility. You can count on me to show up on time, follow your instructions carefully, and keep your pets safe, happy, and comfortable. I’m incredibly loving and attentive, always making sure your pets feel secure while you’re away. I also believe communication is key—I’ll keep you updated with detailed messages, photos, and check-ins so you never have to wonder how things are going. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or somewhere in between, I meet them with calm, compassionate care tailored to their needs. My husband and I are both retired and just moved back to Leland, NC. We both have completely open availability to accommodate any needs or schedule. I have a spacious, fully fenced backyard and two friendly dogs to keep your pup company. My schnauzer especially loves to play and is always excited to make a new friend! My husband is also at home—he’s a true animal lover (and a bit of a dog whisperer). Our pups are our kids, and we treat all animals like family. They’re welcome on the furniture, in the bed, and anywhere else that makes them feel safe, loved, and comfortable.
“Kelsey did a great job watching my dog! She was very communicative and sent pictures! I really appreciate how she not only cared for my pup but also my home! Highly recommend her!”
“I needed Savannah for a very last minute emergency and she stepped up and was INCREDIBLE! She was so kind and patient and even helped keep my apartment clean being my puppy was a bit of a mess. I highly recommend!”
About: I have been taking care of my own pets since age 10 when I got my first dog. I now have 3 cats and 3 energetic dogs. I can provide care for whatever your pups may need, whether it is long walks, a game of fetch, or snuggles. I currently work four days a week so I always have a weekday free as well as weekends as available around caring for my own pets. I am very accustomed to an active life and energetic dogs so long walks and hikes are always an option. I can provide any experience that works best for your fur babies! Let me know how to make your pets day!
“Nat was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter for our dog, Luna. From the moment we met her, we felt completely comfortable knowing Luna was in caring and capable hands. Nat was attentive, reliable, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. She kept us updated and made sure Luna was happy, well-exercised, and well cared for while we were away. We came home to a relaxed and content pup, which says everything. We would highly recommend Nat to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter and will definitely use her again.”
“Piper was awesome!!! Definitely 5 🌟 service and a customer for life!! She was so much help from booking the appointment, which I had messed up on the dates and she was able to fix it and still available to great communication and sending pics on taking great care and quality time with Jada! Definitely will be using her for future trips while we're gone! Thank you again!!!”
About: I enjoy taking active dogs for long walks & runs! No issue providing meds & special attention for older fellas/ladies. I have sat for cats for extended stays as well. Happy to do so again! I work remote 3-5 days a week so I can take breaks to walk your dogs or give them a potty break a few times per day, including midday. I currently have no pets at home, however I grew up with 2-3 dogs and a cat for 18 years. I'll love taking your dog for long walks/runs if they need it! I am happy to care for special needs animals or those who require medications at each meal. Just send me your instructions and I'll treat them as you would! I am open to sitting cats, but would consider myself a dog person.
About: I’ve been petsitting since I was 15! I’m currently in school studying biology but prior experience in highschool I was able to get into Veterinary assisting. My job is incredibly flexible with my schedule so I wanted to jump back into pet care! I’m available anytime in the morning during weekdays. I have 3 beautiful kitties and have transformed my house into a perfect pet play area and planty jungle for enough stimulation for even the most rambunctious pets!
About: I have grown up with animals and have been pet sitting since my early high school years! As an adult, I grew up and adopted two fur babies who have become my whole world - 6 yr old and 3 yr old. When it comes to pet care, I treat every pup like my very own. They are the very best the world has to offer! I walk my own pups early every morning and evening (times very much depend on the heat during summer). We get lots of activity, zoomies runs and toy time! I basically work my schedule around my own dogs' wellbeing, so adding another to the crew is no issue! I practice safe leash walks, use the backyard as needed, and allow off-leash in designated, safe areas! I have a lot of experience in ensuring dog safety and avoiding reactivity through reading doggy body language and behavior. This helps keep everyone safe and maintains healthy activity and stimulation.
“Tatum was awesome! Very honest young lady. Both my dogs Bowie and Jolene loved her to death right from the beginning. Our younger Shepherd Bowie is a pack dog he doesn't take to too many people but he took to her right away we knew we had a winner in her. She did an excellent job loving on our Bowie and Jolene. We want her down as a favorite one she was very honest and very punctual and took care of our dogs like they were her own. We really appreciated her and will use her again on all of our adventures vacations and trips. We were new to the area Wilmington North Carolina for 2 years now and we haven't gone anywhere because we didn't have a dog sitter. We found out about Rover and she stood out out of all the other ones that were unavailable at the time. So we have to give her a five-star rating in every single area. Both my wife and I gave her cash tips in the beginning and in the end. She is outstanding. She is an outstanding young lady who took care of our fur babies like they were her own. We really appreciate her and once again we will be using her if she's available when we need another dog sitter. Bowie and Jolene really loved on her as well as her loving on them.”
About: I can’t remember an age where I wasn’t helping birth and raise kittens and puppies, turtles, or rodents. From having blind, toothless senior chihuahuas and senile cats…to a litter of brand new pups or kittens struggling to catch their first breath I’ve been part of it. I’ve had several rodents and reptiles, and cared for my friends and family birds as well. Trained puppies and kittens to use the potty and more. Also helped with a few farm animals too. I work only 20-25hrs a week, so I’ll always be home within 6hours or less. Outside of work, I’m home hanging out with my kids and furbabies. I have two e.s.a. Certified cats who tend to hide away when someone new is here. I’ve had them both since babies (13y & 3y). Keep things clean, organized, healthy, I had a cleaning company too. I don’t have crates on hand or an outside fence but I have a huge yard, the neighbor has a spayed female American bulldog, very friendly. There are farm animals next door. However, I do appreciate being where the pet is comfortable and knows its space.
“Ross was fantastic. He asked very thorough questions about care for our dog, and how to be a good guest in our home. He stayed in regular touch with updates and photos, and We returned to a clean house and a very happy pup! Highly recommend him for walks, boarding or housesitting”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Town Creek
We cannot recommend Jessica enough! Leaving our pets for two weeks was a huge step, especially since this was our first trip away from our 8 year old rescue dog, Jasper, who suffers from separation anxiety. Jessica was incredible! She was patient with his velcro tendencies, worked with us on his anxiety and barking, and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. She even worked her magic on Momma Kitty, our timid, once-feral cat, who warmed up to Jessica right away and actually let Jessica brush and pet her. Jessica is compassionate, reliable, and deeply understanding of special pet needs. Since coming home, Jasper looks for her at the front door every day! We are so grateful to have found Jessica, and we are looking forward to be able to take more trips in the future.
Kelsey was great! She was very responsive and we really appreciated how quickly she replied to messages. Our dogs seemed to really like her! She took great care of them and our home. She even did some laundry which was such a thoughtful extra. We would definitely recommend Kelsey and use her again.
Abby is a wonderful pet sitter for our furbaby. She is smart, considerate, aware, intuitive and I trust leaving my special needs pooch with her. Our furbaby takes meds throughout the day and also suffers from separation anxiety and fear of thunderstorms and fireworks. The first time Abby pet sat for us, there were bad thunderstorms and my pooch was scared. Abby knew when to leave him alone to decompress and when to coax him out from under the bed with a treat. Overall, we were very pleased with the care that Abby gave to our pooch and we will be booking her again for future petsitting sessions.

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 Town Creek 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 Town Creek 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 Town Creek 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 , 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 .
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 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.
