“Thank you again Lee for staying with Tatum while we were out of town! He loves you ! The house was spotless and our pup was happy and stress free! Until next time 🥰”
“Soraya is just wonderful with my dogs and maintained communication while I was gone. I never had to wonder how they were doing with her updates/ photos. She will be my go to whenever ai travel and can’t take my girls!”
“Casandra was amazing! I asked her to pup sit last minute over the holiday and she responded promptly and took great care of my dogs! Plenty of updates and pictures while we were away.”
“Danny was prompt to arrive and took good care of our cockapoo puppy over a long weekend. He responded to inquiries quickly and shared pictures with us. We would definitely hire him again.”
“I can't thank Marilyn enough for the care she took with my dog and parrot. The parrot can be difficult, and Marilyn handled her just right. Both the "kids" and I are crazy about her! I will have her back again for sure.”
“This was our first time using a 2-day house sitter for our two small dogs through Rover and only realized on the first day of service that our expectations for care was different than Krystina's so it caused us some stress and concern. While we did have a meet and greet the week before, we somehow had mixed messages over the type of care we were looking for and she delivered. In the end all was fine and Krystina took great care of our house and our pets and was responsive through texting while we were gone. I would definitely recommend clearly defining your expectations and requesting she defines her expectations prior to care.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 20 years and have several years of professional experience in dog training and pet care. I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, ages and temperaments, including puppies, seniors, high-energy dogs, shy or anxious dogs, and dogs with behavioral or reactivity concerns. I offer personalized dog walks, adventure style walks, drop-in visits and overnight care in your home. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, medications, walks, playtime and enrichment. My professional training background also gives me experience safely handling dogs who may need a little more patience, structure or understanding than the average pet sitter can provide. Most importantly, I treat every animal in my care as an individual. I’m dependable, communicative and genuinely love what I do. I’m also a proud Husky mom to Winter & Koda and cat mom to Cat, Mooshka & Rumpus. Pet care is my full-time profession, so my schedule is built around the animals in my care. I offer flexible availability for dog walks, drop-in visits and overnight house sitting, including weekdays and weekends. Because this is what I do professionally, I’m able to give each pet reliable, attentive care while maintaining their normal routine. I care for each pet according to their normal routine and the instructions provided by their owner. With years of professional dog training and pet care experience, safety is always my priority. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes, ages, temperaments and energy levels, and I’m comfortable managing multi-pet homes. I provide attentive, reliable care while respecting your home and keeping you updated throughout each visit or stay.
“Oh my goodness, Brook is the absolute best!! Our pets loved her! She sent updates, videos, and pictures which allowed us to feel at sick ease while we were to know that they were loved and well taken care of! We are definitely going to use her again and highly recommend!!”
About: I have cared for young to senior, rambunctious to frail. This includes dogs, cats and even guinea pigs. I can provide walks, feedings, meds, play and even Reiki! Past volunteer at the Brunswick County Humane Society and NMB Humane Society. I travel between Charlotte and Sunset Beach, mainly in Sunset Beach. When I am at the beach I am free to help all times and days. I believe dogs love getting out and going for walks. I offer walks for all types of doggie dispositions - with experience in scared, nervous and frail dogs.
About: I have had a pet for as long as I can remember! From dog, cat, Guinea pig, hamster, bunny you name it! I love animals and I would love to help their parents/owners make their life better by walking them, keeping them company, or just checking up on them while their parents are away. I hate the idea of them being left at home along for too long. I have experience dog sitting for my cousins at their house for multiple days in a row! I have been dog sitting for them for 3 years now:) I am a Graphic designer with a remote role that allows me to choose my hours! I love walking and dogs so I thought why not combine the two while helping others take care of their pups while they away at work:) I would treat them like they were my own dogs:) animals are sweet and they deserve to be treated like our best friends. if they ever got dirty under my care I’d be sure to clean them before they went home!
“Debra was incredibly sweet and both of our senior girls loved her! She stayed at our house for 3 nights and 4 days and was extremely professional about dealing with some issues that popped up. I would very much recommend!”
“Grace is a literal god send. I think she had one review when I reached out to her which is always nerve wracking and of course I am worried my glowing review will mean she may never be free for me in future lol but she deserves it. I honestly can’t say enough great things. Communication was stellar, punctual, professional, responsible, respectful, kind, funny, patient and very considerate. A gem of a human. I feel like I won the doggy sitter lottery. If I could leave 10 stars I would. Grace is a class A++++ person. I know she won’t be doing doggy sitting forever and whatever career she goes into.. wow they will be so lucky to have her.”
“As we lost our long term pet sitter due to moving out of state, it was very stressful finding someone to take care of our senior dog who is visually impaired and in the early stages of dementia. We highly recommend Hanna to anyone seeking a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. She communicated regularly with us throughout our trip, sending updates and photos that helped us feel at ease. Her attention to detail and genuine care for our pet made a difficult situation much easier, and we are grateful to have found someone so trustworthy.”
About: Dogs only want to give and receive love. They are, perhaps, Gods greatest creation. I've worked at a Veterinarian office/Doggy Day Care nearly 5 years, caring for all ages and sizes. I volunteer at the Sheriffs Animal Control Shelter in Supply. I believe dogs enrich the lives of the people around them. I've always been able to bond with dogs. A mutual trust has always come easy. They're all beautiful, and people could learn a lot from them. They make me laugh every day. Dogs will always be safe and happy with me watching over them. I wiil provide great companionship and a soft, warm touch while you're away. I guarantee that you will feel completely secure and confident with my abilities to maintain a safe, fun experience for your dog. Having someone you trust to care for your dog is invaluable. I will be that person. We love to be at home. Being on a walk or hanging outside is what we enjoy. I work at a doggy daycare and can fit pet care at home easily. Daily care of our dog is walking, feeding, brushing hair and teeth, love and cuddles, and of course playing games. We love to take our pebbles with us everywhere. We will give the same care to every dog we meet.
“Brooklyn was excellent with our pups and bird. She was attentive to their needs and provided daily updates and pictures. She accommodated our early return for an emergency. Would not hesitate to use her again. Thank you”

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 Calabash 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 Calabash 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Calabash 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
