About: Hello! I have been dog sitting on Rover for several years now and I absolutely love it. Some facts about me are that I’m active in my church, love exploring, being in nature, and drinking coffee with friends! I grew up owning dogs and I love them! I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes, and staying overnight and taking them on walks. I am a timely person who will be careful to remember your specific needs and instructions in taking care of your dog. I have experience in staying alert around other dogs and either making sure they will get along before approaching or crossing the street. I’m happy to take your dog for walks and potty breaks throughout the day, and most of all give your dog lots of love, cuddles and good company! I look forward to meeting you and getting to know you and your dog(s)! My work schedule is flexible and I’m not usually gone for longer than 3 to 4 hours. If you have any questions or requests, don’t hesitate to ask! I will care for your pets by giving them lots of pets and taking them on walks. I will be attentive to your pets needs and do everything in a timely manner because I care about caring for your pet! I will also send pictures and updates 2x a day.
“Elizabeth agreed to watch my 2 kitties last minute over Christmas. She did a fantastic job and stopped every day and sent pictures. My kitties were happy and well taken care of and would recommend her and will use her again if needed.”

“Alexis was wonderful with our 2 dogs. This was a very short notice request and she responded right away. The next morning she came for a meet and greet. One of our dogs is a recent rescue, has very high anxiety and is fearful of everyone except my wife so far. Alexis was very sweet with her. Bella even began to warm up to her which is saying a lot. We feel fortunate to have found Alexis and will call on her again!”

About: I have walked, taken care of overnight, and trained dogs for the past 5 years starting from the puppy stages to older dogs. I also have a dog of my own that I have raised from 6 weeks old and she is now 6 years old. I am very flexible and have tons of time for your pets! Just message me what you need and I will definitely make it happen! I am very playful with dogs when I go to see them. I love going on walks and do playtime with them. I also do not mind bathing, taking them to the park or anything a client can think of that they would like me to do with their dog.
“Crystal was amazing! She came to our rescue when we needed someone last min! She treated our boys with love and care! And sent amazing updates and photos! We will definitely be repeat clients!”


“Courtney was amazing!!! Snickers, my baby took right to her! He gave her a bit of trouble eating, not her fault. He’s got separation anxiety. I shared a trick with her I use with him, and she handled it like the pro she is! I’m so excited to have found Courtney, and on short notice. I’m already booking for another time! She’s a keeper. Thank you Courtney for taking such good care of my pup!”

About: Hi, I’m Sarah (I go by my middle name Mackenzie)! A lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve looked after everything from energetic puppies who need extra playtime to senior pets who require gentle care and patience. My experience includes: • Daily walks, exercise, and enrichment to keep pups happy and healthy • Feeding, administering medications, and following specific care routines • Lots of love, cuddles, and companionship to make pets feel at home • Experience with crate training, leash manners, and multi-pet households I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. My priority is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for, just like they would with you. I’ll always send updates, pictures, and notes so you have peace of mind while you’re away. Whether it’s a long walk, a cozy cuddle session, or keeping up with a playful pup’s energy, I’m here to give your pets the care they deserve. 🐶🐱💛 I currently work full-time remote! I have 2 cats and 3 dogs of my own and love the flexibility and attention I can given them because of it. I have about a 1/2 acre of completely fenced in back yard which is perfect for my own pets and all pets that come to visit!
About: I've had dogs and cats for years. I have friends in the animal rescue business, so I've also fostered animals in the past as well. I'd love to meet your crew and take care of him/her/all of them while you are away. Thanks for thinking of me with such an important job! I currently work from home and am available for drop-in visits during the day, evenings or weekends. I'm usually able to work around my day job, and will try to accommodate your needs. My home is a pet-friendly environment. Currently, I have a dog (who loves everyone), and 3 cats. Dogs are welcome in my house, but cats here might be an issue. However, I'd love to watch those kittens at your place. Dogs are always a treat too!
About: I grew up with my current dog who was a rescue. He was a scared but aggressive dog, who turned into my best friend. I am a very fit D1 track and field athlete at UNCW which makes me an amazing dog walker for all kinds. I have lots of patients and always have cared for all animals. I have done lots of dog sitting in my hometown and always been trusted by other dog owners. I am a college athlete with a busy schedule during the week, but I often have time in the evenings to care for all pets! I would love to be a part of the dog walking community and earn some money for school. I care for my pets and others pets in whichever way the owner would like me to. Every animal is different so catering to whatever they need is most important. Making sure the pet is happy and healthy is always my number one priority. I enjoy spending time with pets just as much as there owner and always making all animals comfortable.
About: ⸻ I have extensive experience caring for a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, and more. I’ve successfully managed households with multiple pets—such as four dogs and a bird at once—and specialize in providing attentive, hands-on care for senior pets and those with medical needs. I offer in-home pet sitting to ensure a smooth, low-stress experience for your pets while you’re away. I pride myself on being reliable, respectful, and fully committed to the well-being of every animal in my care. I’m currently transitioning out of my previous role, which means I’m available full-time for pet care. I’m excited to dedicate my time and energy to caring for your pets with the attention and reliability they deserve! I care for pets like they’re my own, giving them love, attention, and consistency right in the comfort of their home. I go above and beyond to make sure every animal feels safe, happy, and loved—because when I’m your sitter, your pet gets the best.
About: I absolutely love dogs! All kinds! I’ve had a dog of my own since I was 5! I take care of neighbors dogs and would love to take care of yours!! Dogs have always had a soft spot in my heart! I currently don’t have a job at the moment because I just moved here, so I am available most likely anytime right now! Excited to care for your pet! I have a dog park that is fenced and a trail to walk dogs! I have a sweet dog of my own who needs some company and is a very sweet dog!
About: I have been around dogs since I was born. My parents have always had at least one dog running around the house, and I now have one myself that lives with me! Layla has gotten me through some tough times and with that being said I know how important dogs (and cats) are in our lives. I would love to be a sitter, walker, and caregiver to anyone's furry necessity! I am a full time student! Which means that I usually have school all week! I am free after 5pm every day of the week and on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays all day! I have my 3 year old dog named Layla that is very friendly to all dogs! She is playful and loves to meet new friends! I walk her 3-4 times daily because I don't have a fenced yard. This will also be the case if I am boarding a dog! If your dog is crate trained I have a medium sized crate that they can sleep in overnight! I am open to walking as often as needed and will follow routines to a tee! I also live with my boyfriend as a heads up! He is lovely pet owner and loves my girl like she is his own!

About: I had two rambunctious but precious dogs growing up, so I'm not put off by a tough exterior. I know a mean bark does not equal a mean soul. I have experience dogsitting/cat sitting for clients, friends and professors, and most recently I've been volunteering at Addie Catz Sanctuary, so I'm well accustomed to cleaning messes, navigating reactive animals, and loving on pets. I'm more than happy to answer any questions :) I currently have classes from 9am-1pm Monday/Wednesday/Friday, and from 9am-12pm, then 3pm-5pm Tuesday/Thursday (so I can check on pets in between those classes). I love to do early morning walks to make up for time I can't be with them during the day! I'll be asking a lot of questions to ensure my care is tailored to your pet's needs, and to build your trust in my capabilities. I'm more than happy to learn the kennels, feeding systems, and "flow" of animal care in your own home to avoid the unnecessary stress and change for pets that comes with boarding.
About: I’ve had and taken care of many pets since i was about 14. I love animals and have a passion for them which is why I do it. I recently got a high energy boy dog so he is with me for boarding/walks but LOVES to play with other animals and is the sweetest boy. I can always drop in/take your baby on walk without him if needed. I have a boyfriend who lives with me so is at my home for boarding (he’s also a huge animal lover) but won’t be with me on walks, sitting, etc. I have a house with a large fenced in backyard for potty breaks! I hope you choose me to take care of your fur baby while you’re away! I take my dog on walks and play with him/throw the ball for him MULTIPLE times a day because he’s incredibly energetic. We’re always outside on some sort on adventure. I ensure that I have an eye on the animal at all times especially when outside. I’m more than happy to take extra precautions to ensure that your fur baby is safe!
“We’re so happy to have found Skylar to look after our 2 dogs while we’re away and knowing that they are in safe hands. Skylar has been super patient with me while my plans have changed and has been very responsive and answered all of my questions very quick. We can’t wait to book Skylar again!”

About: I’ve pet and house sat for multiple different dogs and cats in the past six years. The dogs I’ve looked after have all been different breeds and have had varying needs of care as well. The cats I have looked after have all been different breeds and most of them have been very low maintenance and sweet. I work full time 9-5, Monday- Friday and can be home with your pets in the mornings and after work to care for them, walk them, and feed them! I always leash dogs when I take them for a walk, I make sure that all pets are fed as usual and have consistent access to water. I make sure to interact with all animals and show them lots of love and affection just like they would get with their owner. If the owner allows it or encourages it I will take dogs to the dog park and also play fetch and other games with them.

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.
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 Wrightsville 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!
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.
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 .
