“Brianna is like family now! I don't know what I'd do without her and my rescue, Otis, absolutely loves her. I have total confidence in her and so grateful for how she cares for my four legged child.”
“We were staying at Carolina Beach with our dogs, one of which has major separation anxiety especially when traveling. Lena quickly won both dogs over and kept them occupied while my husband and I could get out for a few hours. Will definitely contact her again when back in area.”
“Excellent treatment and responsive to all requests. I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs with her to take care of. Thank you again for taking care of our family members!!”
“I cannot recommend Ruth enough!! She took such wonderful care of Delta, and her previous expertise was evident. She was very attentive from the moment she came over for our meet and greet, an excellent communicator during her stay (and dog photographer), and was creative in getting Delta to take her medicine. It was such a pleasure to meet her, and our Delta loved having Ruthie take care of her!! I will definitely be booking Ruth again! 💜🐶”
“Great communication and awesome service. Came home to a clean house and happy calm dogs. My senior Italian greyhound is very sensitive and I’m so grateful for Kendra’s kind and gentle care for my babies in my absence.”
About: Ive had dogs my entire life. I trained my puppy and adore all dog breeds. I love playing with dogs to wear them out and walking them to get exercise. I currently work 10 hours a week researching so i bace an incredibly flexible schedule. I have reliable transportation and plenty of space and time for your pets. I love walking dogs as part of my daily exercise. Pet needs come first. Every pet and owner is different so I will accommodate for each pet. The environment and pet dictate how I go about my rountine and care. I will care for the pet as if they are my own and wont even realize their pet owner is gone!
“Anna did a great job caring for our 6-month old puppy, Hugo, while we were out of town for the weekend! He's still in the destructive stage and needs a lot of attention and supervision, and she kept him entertained with plenty of backyard time and cuddles. Even though he can be wary of strangers, he liked her right away, and it was a relief to know he was in such capable and caring hands. It was also so nice to leave him in his space and routine, especially as a quirky rescue dog who's still settling in. We hope to have Anna back soon (especially Hugo!).”
“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: 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 have owned a variety of animals in my life, from cats and dogs, to guinea pigs and leopard geckos! I have taken care of both cats and dogs from puppy/kitten to elderly/senior ages, and am sure to adhere to any preferences needed. I am available full time in June and July of summer 2026, so I will have plenty of flexibility during this time to take on any walking and/or petsitting jobs as needed! I adapt to preferred routines while caring for your pets as to not throw you or your pet off of routine. I am respectful of the home as well, being sure to leave things as I have found them!
“Kennedy is an excellent house/pet sitter! She took very good care of 3 fur babies including my senior dog with mobility issues. She’s dependable and responsible! I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again!”
“Matt was fantastic with my Stella. I received daily updates, came home to a clean house and well loved pup. What more could one ask for. Would defiantly recommend !!”
“Claire took care of our elderly dog and cat for the weekend while we camped. She was communicative and quick to solve problems that popped up. We’ll definitely book with her again for future home stays!”
About: From a young age I have always loved animals, especially dogs. I have two dogs of my own, who are 15 and 11, that I take care of. I also have previous experience taking care of my roommate’s Frenchie who is 5 years old. When I was younger I used to dogsit my neighbor’s 18 year old pug! I have lots of experience with all different shapes and sizes of dogs, as well as all ages. I am equipped to bathe, walk, feed, and clean up after dogs and most of all play with them on a daily basis. I am currently in the process of applying to graduate school and saving for tuition costs. I am free any day of the week including weekends! I am tidy and responsible when it comes to looking after a pet. I have lived with and raised two dogs who are now “elderly” and have a strict regimen on medication and feeding habits. I know of many veterinary practices in the area and have studied ways that pets might show distress incase of an emergency. I will make sure to lock up after I leave and secure any gates or doors in the house to keep the pet in a specific area of the home if need be.
“Tatiana was super communicative and attentive with our dog Sullivan! He has been dealing with some health issues and we were very grateful to have someone who could administer his medication and stay with him in our home. We would recommend her to anyone and will absolutely be reaching back out to her whenever we need a petsitter again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wrightsville Beach
We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter! Alissa was incredibly responsive, dependable, and kept us updated throughout our time away, which gave us so much peace of mind. The best part was coming home to happy, relaxed pets who were clearly well cared for. As an added bonus, the house was spotless when we returned. It's obvious she truly cares about both the animals and the homes she looks after. We would absolutely trust her again and recommend her without hesitation!
Katherine is by far the most kind, compassionate, and loving person, my dog Clyde absolutely fell in love with her from the start. She has taken unbelievable care of my sweet baby boy, and she gave me complete peace knowing that my boy was receiving the best care and love while I have been away for surgery. She send pics of my boy, and I could see how happy he was. I have been truly blessed to have Katherine watch my baby.
Jane was awesome! I know she had to be very patient because we have three dogs that for some reason like to get up at 5:30 am. And we also have a three month old puppy and that requires extra patience. It was great to leave our three pups and our home in trusted care while we were visiting family.
Ross is incredible. We travelled out of town for a wedding and our dog was not feeling well. Ross was amazing and kept us updated on her condition, administered medicine, and even spoon fed our pup when she was being picky. Truly an incredible sitter who is attentive, responsible, and loved on our fur baby like she was his own dog.
I had a great experience with Gg! She watched my dog and bunny while I was out of town and I honestly think she got a little more than she bargained for - my dog ended up throwing up while I was gone (ugh, sorry) but she handled it so well. She cleaned it up and washed my rugs going beyond what was expected! She sent me updates and photos the whole time, followed all the instructions I left, and kept in touch super well. Overall I’m super happy with the care she gave my pets and how communicative and helpful she was. Would definitely book her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Wrightsville Beach
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Wrightsville Beach on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 761 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wrightsville 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 Wrightsville 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 Wrightsville 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 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!
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.
