About: I grew up working on a farm and have always had dogs in my life. I have a sweet goldendoodle of my own. Currently attending dog grooming school 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*
“Taryn was wonderful! She checked on Milo and was able to play and cuddle with him. He immediately took to her and was excited to see her and get attention. Highly recommend Taryn for any pet sits, she’s incredibly reliable and communicative.”

“Our pups love Andrea! I can tell they got a lot of energy out when she comes and she is very attentive to their needs. She is also quick to respond to texts and communications and understands our dogs’ personalities well.”
About: Hi! I’m 20 years old and have been caring for animals my entire life. I have two Goldendoodles and a German Shepherd of my own, so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities! I have experience with everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I also know a dog breeder and have helped care for puppies before they go to their forever homes, so I’m familiar with their routines and special needs. I’ve even cared for up to 20 animals at once in my home, which has taught me how to manage feeding schedules, daily routines, and the individual needs of multiple animals. Now that I’m living away from home, I miss my own furry friends more than ever! I would love the opportunity to give your pets all the love, attention, and care I give my own. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, cuddles, medication reminders, or a little extra TLC, I want you to feel confident knowing they’re in caring and capable hands! I am available for drop-ins and walks whenever on the weekends and on weekdays I have classes. This means I am available Monday and Friday anytime after 9am, before 8am and after 1:45pm on Tuesday and Thursday, and from 9am-4pm on Wednesdays. When caring for your pets in your home or taking them on walks, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, so I’ll adjust my care to make sure they get the attention they deserve. During walks, I’ll make sure your dog gets the exercise, fresh air, and sniffing time they need while keeping their safety my top priority. Whether your pup loves long walks, short strolls, or taking their time exploring, I’ll happily accommodate them! When caring for pets in your home, I’ll treat your space with respect and make sure your pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m happy to provide plenty of cuddles, playtime, companionship, and updates so you can feel at ease knowing your furry family members are in good hands. I know how much pets mean to their families because I have several of my own, and I’ll care for yours with the same love and attention I would give my own!

“Alicia was great! She provided me with updates at each visit. She showed great care and attention to my cats while I was away. Her friendly demeanor at our meet and greet was comforting to both me and my guys. She handled medications and injections for my diabetic cat flawlessly.”

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: 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!

About: I've had furry family in my life for as long as I can remember. From having my own pups to watching pets for friends and family, I love all animals and it would be my pleasure to love yours. My schedule is currently open for whatever you and your pet needs. Let me know your pet's schedule and I will be happy to accommodate. It is my pleasure to spend time with your pet/pets. Great care is taken to make sure your beloved family pet is well taken care of and happy.
“Sara was wonderful at communication, respecting the house rules and accountability. She got the initial drop in visit start time wrong, but she took accountability and fixed it right away. It's totally fine that mistakes happen, and Sara handled it very professionally. She also posted updates per drop-in with photos, and did call us when health concerns arise like we requested. I would highly recommend her service to others as a very trustworthy sitter. I would 100% book with her again!”

“Madison was awesome! She was flexible with our introductory visit and the care schedule and accommodated our every need. Madi always sent detailed visit information each and every time, including cute pictures and lots of cuddles. My pups were immediately at ease with Madi as soon as she first met them, you can tell she really loves pets and I was very at ease and confident in her care. She was always on time and followed their care perfectly by memory (because I forgot to leave instructions!), down to giving them their daily medication. I would recommend Madison and will definitely book her again!”


About: I’ve grown up with all kinds of animals, so size and breed don’t matter to me! I’ve been Petsitting since I was 12. I’m experienced in dog walking, cat sitting, play dates, and overnight stays. I adopted and trained my pitbull mix 3 years ago I’m currently available 24/7. I work in the film industry so this season is slow for me currently. So anytime you need someone, I’ll be there! I care for pets in their clients home by following their regular lifestyle! Whatever they are used to is what I will become accustomed to. No need to disrupt their day to day lives. I’m just here to give them love and take care of the needs they/their parents have
About: Hi I'm Emmy! I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have experience caring for all different sizes and breeds. I love spending time with dogs and am comfortable with things like walking, feeding, playing, and making sure they’re happy and comfortable! I also took a service dog training class at UNCW, which gave me more experience with training and proper care. I’m can't wait to work with you in keeping your dogs safe, happy and healthy! I’m a sophomore at UNCW and my class schedule gives me the most flexibility on Tuesdays, Fridays, and throughout the weekend. I'm happy to coordinate with you to find a schedule that works well for both of us! I know how important it is for your dogs to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you are away. I will keep up with their normal routines, whether that means their usual walks, feeding times, playtime, or just giving them some extra love and attention! I’ll always do my best to make sure they feel happy and at ease, while giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands!

About: Hi! My name is Katherine! I’m an animal lover and a dog mom to a 5-year-old Norwegian Elkhound, so I understand just how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family members. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or just some good company while you’re away, I’m here to help your pet feel safe, loved, and well-cared for. I’m experienced with all kinds of pets and tailor my care to meet their unique needs. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to provide regular updates (with pictures!) so you know your pet is in great hands. Thank you for considering me! I am a student at UNCW, I do not currently work. So i’m available pretty much all the time to help out whenever you need! Caring for the safety of the pets I watch is always my top priority. I start with a meet-and-greet to learn each pet’s routine, behavior, medical needs, and any triggers or anxieties they may have. I make sure to follow their schedule closely—sticking to regular feeding times, walks, and play sessions to keep them comfortable and secure. I always double-check that all doors, gates, and fences are closed and locked to prevent escapes, and I never leave pets unattended outside, even in a fenced yard. I use properly fitted collars or harnesses for walks and never let pets off-leash unless it’s in a fully secured, owner-approved area. I also keep a close eye on their health, watching for any signs of illness or injury, and I always have emergency contact info and the nearest vet’s location on hand. Safety includes creating a calm, hazard-free environment, keeping human food, small objects, and toxic items well out of reach. Most importantly, I keep open communication with pet owners, providing updates, photos, and reaching out if anything seems off. I treat every pet like they’re my own—because they deserve nothing less.
“Jennifer is great with my Dog Finn. Very reliable. I always get her for drop in visits when I am gone for the day and house sitting when i am going to need to be away for a few days. Boarding him would really stress him out because he doesnt "care for" dogs so having her watch him in his home works great for us.”

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Wrightsville Beach is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 1,334 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Wrightsville Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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 .
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.

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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
