“Christina was amazing and my dog LOVED her. She sent pictures to ease my nerves about leaving her with someone and it was easy to see that she knew how to work with dogs I would 110% recommend her to watch your fur baby”
“Kelle was absolutely incredible with my two pitties! I trust Kelly immensely with my boys and all her pictures and updates allowed me to enjoy my time out of town even more. Could not recommend her enough!”
“Teddy is an energetic 13 month old who doesn’t know his size or power. Sarah and her husband were incredible with him and immediately got Teddy acclimated in their home with their own dogs. The communication and pictures/videos were just what was needed for piece of mind and reassurance that our dog was behaving himself with his new found friends. I would use Sarah again in the future and know he was loved, taken care of and having fun. Thank you, Sarah!”
About: I've had my own pets since I was 9, but I've professionally worked with dogs and cats for 4 years. I can't wait to meet your fluffy friend! This is currently my main job so I'm always open and looking forward to new bookings with you! This is honestly my one of my dream jobs, next on my list is becoming a vet! So best believe your baby will have so fun and care when with me!

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs in my life. I worked as a vet assistant and I’m now working towards a certification of vet assistant. I have one cat and one lizard. I had 12 dogs before and took care of them all. Ranged from chihuahuas to pit bulls. I’m currently working in the military. And I live animals very very much. I have a cat named Gray and a bearded dragon named Shmoop. I would have to go to clients house to care for the animals, as I live in apartments at the moment. I would need to know how owner does certain things for the animals.
About: Second Chances: How a Rescue Dog Opened My Eyes I never set out to build a pet care business. It began when neighbors asked me to care for their pets during the off season from my work as a private swim instructor. I quickly discovered how much I loved it. Not simply because I enjoyed animals, but because I understood how much trust it takes to leave someone you love in another person’s care. After moving to Emerald Isle, I began building a life that feels more intentional. Smaller. Better. More personal. Then came Marley. Marley was a rescue dog whose owner wanted him to experience some of the things he had never known. We asked if we could take him along on a road trip through Yosemite, Big Sur and Carmel by the Sea. When Marley discovered the beach for the first time, you could see it in his face. Curiosity. Excitement. Pure joy. That experience stayed with me. It reminded me that caring for an animal is about more than keeping them fed and safe. It is about noticing who they are, understanding what makes them comfortable and, when appropriate, giving them experiences that bring them joy. I have also always loved photography, and over the years I have found myself photographing the animals in my care. I especially love capturing the unplanned moments that reveal their personalities. During select holiday stays, I enjoy sharing a few of those moments with their families as a personal keepsake. Today, I care for a small number of private clients throughout select communities in Emerald Isle and surrounding areas, primarily during holidays and occasional extended stays. My primary professional work remains private in home swim instruction for families. I am selective about the families I work with because quality matters to me. I take the time to understand your home, your pet and your preferences. I am reliable, discreet and genuinely invested in their care. For me, it has always been about trust. When you leave someone you love in my care, I want you to feel completely at ease. Services include: • 20 minute visit • Feeding and fresh water • Playtime and companionship • Photo updates sent to your phone • Optional dog walking ($) Separately, I also offer family pet photography sessions at the KOA and Dillon Beach.
About: With years of hands-on experience breeding dogs and training German Shepherds, I bring a deep understanding of canine behavior, structure, and care to every pet I watch. From high-energy working dogs to beloved family companions, I provide attentive, knowledgeable, and compassionate care tailored to each dog’s needs. Whether it’s structured exercise, basic reinforcement training, or just dependable companionship, your pet will be in experienced and caring hands. I have part time job that I work at occasionally, but my passion is caring for our furry friends! I have 3 of my own and always find my most joyful moments are spent loving on them. Caring for pets is all about meeting them in their comfort space and going from there. Each furry friend has their own boundaries and when caring for them, it is vital to get to know them and build a trusting relationship with them, based on their personality. A meet and greet is the best way I have found to start this relationship.
About: Hi, I'm Ashlynn! I've been passionate about caring for animals since I was 10 years old. Over the years, I've gained a lot of experience with pets of all kinds, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve. Whether it's walking, feeding, or just spending quality time, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Looking forward to meeting your furry friends! For in home care: I work Monday-Friday 9am-4pm. I will be more than happy to stay with your pets at home as long as they will be okay for that time period. In my home all of my animals are inside animals. My dog has two scheduled feedings at 6am and then at 4pm (plus treats because who can say no to those faces lol). My cat’s food bowl is full 99% of the time and he eats it whenever he feels like

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Atlantic Beach
We had a great experience with Christina! She took wonderful care of our dogs and sent us regular updates, which we really appreciated — especially since we were a little nervous leaving our older pup. She was happy to send extra photos and kept in touch the whole time. When our return flight was delayed, she was incredibly flexible and stayed longer without any issue. When we came home, the dogs were calm, happy, and clearly very well loved. The house was spotless too — we could barely tell anyone had stayed! We’re so grateful and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Atlantic Beach
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 155 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Atlantic 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 Atlantic 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 Atlantic 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 Atlantic 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 , 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 .
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 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.
