About: Hi, I'm Cece! I have a deep love for animals and years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and sizes. My home is currently shared with a sweet, energetic Lab-Boxer mix named Felix and a wonderful senior cat named Baby, so I am incredibly comfortable navigating the distinct needs of both high-energy dogs and older, more sensitive cats. Whether your pet requires a high-intensity play session, careful routine tracking, a patient approach for senior care, or just a lot of focused attention, I treat every animal like family. I’m reliable, attentive to detail, and dedicated to making sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work full-time as a pharmacy technician, but my schedule leaves me with plenty of dedicated time for pet care! I have my weekends completely off and am fully available for boarding and house sitting then. During the week, I have open availability for walks, drop-ins, and feeding routines both before I head into work and after I get off work in the evenings. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, visiting pets will be welcomed by my friendly Lab-Boxer mix, Felix, and my senior cat, Baby. I always introduce animals slowly and under direct supervision. Whether in my home or yours, I maintain a secure environment, provide a cozy setup for your pet personal preferences, and keep a watchful eye to ensure everyone stays happy, safe, and relaxed.

About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies and rescue dogs to senior dogs needing specialized attention, including my 16-year-old diabetic beagle who required daily medication, monitoring, and lots of extra love and patience. In my home, dogs are family. They’re welcome on the furniture, get plenty of affection, and are treated like part of the pack. I currently have a friendly 6-year-old rescued American Foxhound who loves other dogs and would be excited to have some company. I work from home full-time, which means your pup will have lots of supervision, attention, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. My community also has a dog park where dogs can safely run around and burn off energy. Whether your dog needs overnight care, walks, drop-in visits, or just a comfortable home away from home, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for.

About: Hi, I'm Elizabeth! Dogs haven't just been a part of my life—they have been my entire life. Growing up with dogs since childhood, I have over 30 years of hands-on experience as a dedicated pet owner. Over the decades, I’ve loved and cared for some pretty incredible rescues, giving me a deep understanding of different temperaments, behaviors, and unique backgrounds. My personal pack has included everything from the high energy of a beautiful Golden Retriever to the wonderful, grateful souls of two rescued Black Labs. I am also currently the proud parent of a sweet senior Chihuahua/Dachshund mix who requires daily medication and a very energetic and active 1.5 yr old Lab/Hound rescue. Managing senior care and strict medical schedules is second nature to me, so if your pup needs a gentle touch, precise pill administration, or just a little extra patience, they are in highly capable hands. Whether your dog is a bouncy puppy who needs to burn off some energy or a sweet senior who prefers a quiet cuddle, I treat every guest like a member of my own family. I can’t wait to meet your furry best friend and give them the safe, loving, and attentive care they deserve while you're away! Pet care isn't just a task for me—it’s the anchor of my daily routine. Since I work from home, my days naturally revolve around the needs of my own pack, starting with early morning walks or runs and daily trips to the dog park. Because I maintain a highly structured and active routine at home, stepping away for regular potty breaks, playtime, and fresh air is already second nature to me. Whether it's keeping a high-energy pup active and engaged or ensuring a sweet senior gets their quiet resting time, your dog will seamlessly blend into a day already filled with love, structure, and plenty of attention. My home is a true haven for dogs, fully set up to mirror the love, safety, and structure they get at home. Guests have the freedom to lounge in a comfortable, climate-controlled environment, with plenty of cozy spots for naps and dedicated spaces for peaceful downtime. Because I am highly experienced with managing multiple dog personalities your pup’s specific routine will be followed to the letter. Walks, playtime, and potty breaks are built into the day to keep active dogs happy. Safety and supervision are my top priorities, ensuring a stress-free environment where your furry family member can feel entirely secure, loved, and pampered while you're away.

About: I've lived with dogs and cats my whole life, and they’ve always been part of my home! I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, from puppies to giants! Whether it’s administering medications or going on walks, I always tailor my care to each dog. Cats hold a special place in my heart too. I know how important it is to give them space and time to adjust—especially during changes in environment or routine. I’m patient, observant, and always respectful of their boundaries. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I’m excited to offer reliable, loving care for your pets. Weekends I’m very much available at any time! Weekdays I can do Monday or Friday with few exceptions on Wednesdays. During the week, very early mornings or afternoon and evening visits work best. I currently will only work as a dog walker and cat sitter, and will be caring for your dog or cat in their own home or a park/neighborhood. Depending on the dog’s preferences and medical needs, I will tailor the experience directly for your pet. From cuddles to fast jogs, your pet will be in a safe and comfortable environment! Any extra details or accommodations will be greatly exercised. As per the cat, a gentle approach will always be used! My goal is to make the cat feel comfortable with a new person who can give medications, feed, clean litter pans, and cuddle up!

Great sitter for our two kitties for a week, when our other sitter wasn’t available. Trustworthy and would book again. Courtney was responsive, took pictures of the kitties, and was not hesitant to ask questions while we were gone. She had no issues using our technical alarm system. We appreciated that she brought in our mail without being asked (we never expect our pet sitter to do this, but always appreciate it) and she was accommodating to our change in travel schedule. Thanks Courtney!

About: I have taken care of animals for the majority of my life whether that be nursing stray kittens back to health, assembling special meals for my dogs specific health requirements, or pet and house sitting for friends and family members so they could take a well needed vacation. I have always held a deep love for animals and a career where I can be around them all day sounds more like a dream than a job. While not a certified dog trainer I do have experience with training puppies for small tricks such as sit, place, stay, down, etc. and would be happy to teach your fur baby as I take care of them. As a full time student I have a very open schedule with asynchronous classes that allow me to be there when your fur baby requires. I make sure to keep my pets on a regular schedule with grooming, food, vet visits and play sessions so they may have the best experiences as they grow and develope.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life and I have been taking care of animals as a job on and off since I was 12 years old. I currently work for a doggy daycare and boarding center, and I have volunteered at multiple rescues! I have experience with many different breeds of all ages and sizes. I’ve done drop in visits, walks, overnight stays and more, and I’d love to help out with whatever you and your pets may need! :) I’m currently working part time and usually have 3-4 shifts a week. I’m also a student, however my work is all online so my availability tends to be very flexible. I am not available for services in my own home due to my own pets, but I’m available for any services you may need in your own home or outside!

Kelly is the absolute best! She eases all my worries while I’m away from my puppy. She’s very understanding of puppy behavior, and helps to enforce the things I’m teaching him. She goes above and beyond helping clean up accidents he’s left. She’s great at communicating with me. And my puppy is clearly very happy and tired out when she leaves!

About: I grew up in a home with both dogs and cats and have always loved caring for animals. When I was six years old, my parents gifted me a kitten named Sophia. She became my best friend and lived to be 20 years old before recently passing away from chronic kidney disease (CKD). Caring for Sophia throughout her life taught me a lot abt what cats need to thrive, including administering subcutaneous fluids and supporting a senior pet with medical needs. I also volunteer with a local cat rescue, where I spend time caring for cats and learning about their unique personalities and needs. Since Sophia’s passing, I’ve realized how much I miss having animals in my daily life. Pet sitting allows me to share that love and care with other people’s pets while giving owners peace of mind that their furry family members are in good hands. I’m currently working full time but available everyday after 3:30/4. With the schedule I have, it allows me to still devote time to caring for your fur babies! I’m more than happy to come to your home to care for your pet so that you can enjoy your time away from home without anxiety!

About: I've taken care of dogs all my life, from a large collie, down to my current 15 lb chorkie. He's 17 years old and still a happy critter. I've volunteered with Angels of Assisi and Red Dog Farms. I have also offered temporary care to cats. My schedule is wide open at this time, so I am very flexible. Let me know when you need me and we can make it work. I'm not currently offering dog care in my home, but I am happy to bring your critter to the nearest dog park for some sun and fun.

Crystal took perfect care of my dog and cat. Took the dog on walks which he loved, played in the house with the cat and ensured both were safe and well fed. She even turned on and off the plant lights for me while I was away :)

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Wrightsville Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Wrightsville Beach on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of June 2026, there are 1,297 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Wrightsville Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Wrightsville Beach 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.

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 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Wrightsville Beach with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wrightsville Beach. On Rover:

  • 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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.

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.
