“Taryn was very quick and accommodating with our week-of booking. She made time for a meet and greet prior to the drop in visits and took AMAZING photos. Our dogs & cat loved her too!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old for neighbors, family, and friends, along with my own two dogs and numerous other animals. I’m currently a student in college and would love a flexible job I can squeeze into my odd schedule. I love my dogs more than anything and would love to spend time with any animal since being away from mine! I do not have a yard at my apartment but I am able to take care of your dog however you need at your home or take them to a park!
“For our first time using Rover I’m so grateful and impressed by how easy Kennedy made everything! A true professional and confident especially given we had 5 dogs! I’d recommend Kennedy to anyone and will definitely be rebooking in the future! Thanks, Kennedy!”
“Amelia is was amazing with our 13 year old dog. She sent multiple photos with every check-in. She also kept us updated on how Jarvis was eating while we were gone - he has some separation anxiety and doesn’t always like to eat a lot when we aren’t home. I highly recommend booking with Amelia - we definitely will book again the next time we need someone to check in on Jarvis!”
About: I have grown up with many different breeds of dogs and cats and has been the main person to take care of them in my household. I have been in charge of animals since elementary school, and I am going to school to be a veterinary technician. I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to take care of you babies and walk them until they are happy. I don’t currently own any animals so their is no need to worry about your pet not getting along or having to interact with any other animals.
About: Hi! I'm a college student with a lifelong love for animals. I have a sweet cat named Penny. She’s truly the light of my life and I treat every pet I care for with the same love and attention I give her. I'm currently a student at UNCW, finishing my degree after transferring in. Even with a busy academic life, I’m committed to continuing what I love most: caring for pets! I offer dog walking, feeding, and pet sitting services—and the same care extends to cats too! I have several years of experience from working summers with a dog-walking business back in California during high school and early college. It was one of the most rewarding jobs I’ve ever had, and it taught me how to read animal behavior, stay reliable, and make every visit fun and safe. You can count on me to care for your furry family members like they’re my own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s hands and I’ll make sure they’re loved, safe, and happy every step of the way. Other then being a college student I also have 2 jobs working at a doctor's office and retail. My usual schedule is Mon-Fri 8am-5pm at the doctor's office and work retail on Sundays 12pm-6pm. I usually care for the pets at the clients home given my living situation as my cat doesn't take other animal visitors too well as well as having a roommate.
“Laine was fabulous and will absolutely use her again! She checked on my pup every day for a week and . gave him lots of attention and love. She even messaged me the one day asking about his lunch when I forgot to leave it out making sure he got fed!”
“Olivia was a fantastic sitter for my cat! She was very responsive and took lots of great photos of her and Leo playing together :) I will definitely rebook with Olivia in the future!”
“Amy was great with our dog and took special care with him! She helped with medication and monitoring him from a pre-existing injury. She spent time with him and sent great pix, highly recommend!”
About: I've been a pet sitter since I was 10 years old. I have worked both with a professional company and with my self-run business. I am on the veterinarian track and am looking for more experience. I'm a college student with classes twice a week. I have free day availability Mon, Wed, Fri. On these days, I have flexible availability due to having online classes. I am respectful of house and pet rules. Your pet will be safely cared for as instructed and kept within the boundaries set by the owner.
About: My extensive experience caring for dogs since I was in high school has prepared me to take care of your pup(s). From waking up early in the morning to let outside, long walks to help unleash pent up energy, to shifting around in bed to make room for dogs to sleep with the pack - I am here to make sure your pup enjoys the stay away from home! I am taking the year off from work and have plenty of time to look after your pup(s). Recently moved to an apartment complex near Wrightsville Beach. I usually take my Rover pups on about five walks a day - so they get plenty of outside time and chances to meet other pups along the walkway. Dogs are welcome on my couches and bed. If you bring your pup's dog bed for their visit, I set it up by a window that looks onto Wrightsville Avenue so they can watch people and cars go by.
“Carol dis an amazing job taking care of our two dogs while we were out of town for a couple days. It rained the whole time but she made sure they still went on long walks and were cozy afterwards. I would highly recommend!”
“Cece was very responsive and friendly. My cats seemed to warm up to her almost immediately and I feel very comfortable having her care for my fur babies while I was away. I would definitely recommend her and would love to book her again!”
About: I have always loved taking care of pets for as long as I can remember. I have worked as a kennel technician for over 2 years, and have fallen in love with providing special care towards furry friends. There, I create safe play groups, feed, walk, play, and of course, clean! I will make sure to pay close attention to any special needs your pet may have. Accommodating to your dogs energy level, temperament, age, and health is very important to me. I will ensure to pay very close attention to any issues or concerns I may see while spending time with your pup. I believe maintaining a clean and tidy environment is important to an animals health. I will provide updates with messages and pictures about our time together. I look forward to hanging out and connecting with you and your pet! I am currently a college student, working an odd schedule. I will try to accommodate accordingly to whatever fits best for you. I make your pets needs and care a #1 priority, next to school work of course. I have 2 dogs of my own, Luna (labradoodle), who I have trained since she was a puppy, and Lacy (French Bulldog), who I am currently training (she is 5 months old). Although I do not have professional training experience, I will say I put all my patience into providing simple tasks that can better your dogs skills. Whether if it’s during walks, crate time, or a simple sit and stay, I will provide my best efforts for your pup to succeed in these things. Along with training, I always make sure to spend quality time with my puppies because we are what’s most important to them. I believe playtime is very important to keeping a dog young and healthy! In any clients home, I make sure to spend as much quality time with the clients dog to build a strong connection.
About: Because of my love for animals from a young age, I started volunteering at animal shelters at the age of 10. I have assisted numerous humane societies and adoption centers. I have also taken the responsibility of fostering dogs and cats with my mom in order to make sure they were healthy and ready to be with their new family! I also have lots of experience petsitting and dog walking for many of the people in my hometown. I am currently a student at UNCW and am available Monday, Wednesday, Friday after 2 PM. I am also available on weekends with advance notice! I will always follow your pets routine, instructions, and their comfort level. I will keep every pet safe, happy, and cared for while they are with me!
About: I’ve been both a dog owner and dog sitter ever since I was young! I love to take a spontaneous trip so I don’t have any pets of my own but I do enjoy pet sitting for others with my free time! My days and most nights are wide open due to my remote job. I am currently working part time and remotely so I am free most nights and days and available on short notice. Please give at least one day heads up. I am very respectful and quiet. I can stay at your home or come check in on the pets- whichever you prefer. I don’t have any pets currently.
About: I grew up working on a farm and have always had dogs in my life. I have a sweet goldendoodle of my own. I’ll also be starting grooming school shortly at CFCC! I work from home and have a pretty flexible schedule. Enjoy being outdoors and would love to meet some new furry friends to join me! I have extensive pet sitting experience and will love yours like my own. I prioritize being present with your pet and communicating if any questions arise. *I DO NOT ACCEPT RESERVATIONS AT HOTELS*

This was my first Rover booking ever and Marisa was absolutely wonderful with my cat while we were away for three days.She arrived punctually for every visit, followed all of our instructions carefully, and sent prompt photo updates with detailed descriptions of how things went each time she stopped by. She was professional and reassuring which made me feel totally comfortable leaving my buddy with her. I’m incredibly grateful for her help and will absolutely be booking with Marisa again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, responsive and genuinely kind sitter.

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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

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.
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.
