“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.”
“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!”
“Lyndsay did a fabulous job making Finley comfortable and happy while we were gone. It was a last minute request and she was very communicative. I will request her again!”
“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.”
About: I have experience with training puppies, and I’ve watched dogs from Dachshunds to Great Danes! I am a huge dog lover, and I’d love to spend time with yours while I miss mine back home! I am a student, so I will be gone for hours long periods throughout the day. However, this has not been an issue in the past! I follow every direction from the client, as they know their dog’s routine best. I love to spend personal time with the pets too, whether lounging on the couch or going for a walk!
About: I’ve had a pet cat for the last ten years and have been taking care of my friend’s dogs for the last five. I know that cat dog debate can be pretty divisive, but I’m happy to say that I love both. I’m currently working an 8 to 5 but I am available most weekdays for pet sitting or walks. I’m happy to spend the night and I’m also fine with driving back and forth. I always pay attention to my clients instructions and the pet’s specific needs. I also make sure to send pictures and updates of your pets having a blast without you. If there’s anything that I can do to increase your pet’s happiness while you’re gone just let me know.
“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!”
“Ross is a great dog and house sitter! From the initial meet and greet our dog immediately took to him and he was extremely friendly. He had a list of questions for us which made us very comfortable with having him watch our pup knowing he was in good hands. He is great at communicating and sent regular updates and pictures/videos. Will definitely be booking again for any future needs!”
“Trinity was reliable, took good care of our energetic puppy, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. We appreciated her help and would be happy to recommend her to others looking for someone dependable to care for their pets.”
About: I have always had 2 or more dogs in my family since I was a kid. I own my own dog in college and have for the past year and a half. Throughout high school I pet sat for neighbors and their friends and worked with old and young dogs, pets that need daily meds and special instructions. I work 2 part time jobs right now, one of them has a pretty flexible schedule. I have a few hours in the morning before work and I finish work at 7pm most days. I can play with your pup, snuggle with your pup or just vibe with them. I'll match their vibe with whatever they need. Any special instructions you may have and make your pup feel special.
“Excellent!!! He got on great with my dogs, and took care of them, treated them like royalty! My home was spotless, Cannot say enough great things about Matt! He really met all my needs, so I could have confidence to enjoy my vacation. Highly recommend!”
“Cate was fantastic! She house/dog sat for us over Thanksgiving. She was very responsive when I first contacted her. We had a nice get-to-know meeting where she was extremely patient with me as I explained all of the details of our situation and introduced her to our dog. She met us early the day we were leaving for the airport to make the transition smooth. She sent pictures and updates while we were gone. We came back to a healthy, happy dog and a clean house. I would highly recommend Cate. She was kind, professional and trustworthy. ”
“Kennedy was absolutely outstanding. I was so impressed by her level of professionalism and communication from start to finish. She kept us updated, was highly engaged, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She took exceptional care of our energetic one-year-old doodle, treating him with so much attention and care, and she also looked after our home as if it were her own. It was clear she genuinely cared about making sure everything went smoothly. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Kennedy again and again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and trustworthy dog sitter.”
“Sarah was phenomenal! I really appreciated how communicative she was, she took great care of my house, and she loved/cared for our dogs like they were her own. Would absolutely book again! Thanks Sarah!”
“Tatiana provided us with great service! She stayed at our house with our animals the whole length of her service and gave our pets lots of love and sunshine! She even cleaned up some throw up for us. I was very appreciative to have Tatiana, it gave me a peace of mind while being gone!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wrightsville Beach
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.

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 773 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.
