“Keira took excellent care of our three kitties while we were away. She has a lovely energy that animals will be naturally drawn to. Two of our cats are very timid and hide from everyone, but they came right out to meet Keira on their first meeting. We were shocked! In addition to our cats loving her, she did a great job keeping us updated while we were out of town. All of her visits were timely and thorough, including pictures and text updates. The cats were all well and happy, and everything was clean and tidy when we returned. I highly recommend Keira to care for your precious little ones!”
“Ava is absolutely amazing! I had flight changes and a small home renovation going on during her stay and she was nothing but understanding, accommodating and reassuring! I will 100% rebook with Ava! Thank you so much for everything!”
About: I truly LOVE animals, I’d adopt them all if I could. Whether I’m caring for energetic puppies, independent cats, or senior pets who need a little extra patience, I provide loving, attentive care tailored to their needs. I’ll also water your plants, bring in your mail, and send plenty of photo updates so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. I’m new to rover but not to pet sitting :) I work full-time with a schedule that is typically either 7:00 AM–2:00 PM or 1:00 PM–9:00 PM. This flexibility allows me to spend quality time with pets before and after work, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention. I carefully consider my schedule before accepting bookings to ensure I can meet each pet’s needs and maintain their regular routine. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I care for every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to keep your pet happy, comfortable, and on their normal routine while you’re away. Whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, or simply providing a calm and reassuring presence, I’ll make sure your pet receives the attention and care they deserve. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is in good hands.
About: I have grown up around dogs, my entire life, and have had responsibilities to take care of them since I was a child. Neighbors and roommates have trusted me with their overnight care for 15 years now. I am excited to start dogsitting regularly to gain more experience and continue working while I’m in school. When I am with my family, dogs are a part of the daily routine. I understand the importance of incorporating their needs with my schedule, because they are a member of the house. When I am home with my parents, dogs are a part of the family routine. When I am watching my roommate’s dog, she stays with me most of the day when I am home and follows my routine.
“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!”
“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!”
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 in a mental health hospital with adolescents and retail. My usual schedule is 3pm-11pm Fri-Mon at the hospital and work retail Tues and Wed in the afternoons off at 8:30pm 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
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.
“Olivia was awesome with our pups! She checked in as scheduled and kept us informed each time. The pups loved her and she spent quality time walking and playing with them. We will definitely book with her again!”
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: 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.
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.
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.
