“Lauren was great at communicating and taking care of our pets. They seemed happy when we got back from our trip! Also, she kept our house just as clean as when we left. Thank you Lauren for watching our fur babies!”
“Cassandra did a wonderful job watching my dog and cat while staying over at my house. My pets were happy and calm when i returned home. The house was very neat and all instructions were followed with care. I loved getting daily updates and photos. I feel comfortable having her care for my pets again. I don't have any worries or stress about going away again other than Cassandra not being available. I highly recommend her to care for your pets too!”
About: I’ve had my own dog for 16 years. I’ve traveled to Texas on various occasions over the last 3 years to dog sit my daughter/son-in law’s 2 dogs. Enjoy taking dogs for walks to get them exercise. I’m a retired police officer that currently isn’t working so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule and a lot of availability to care for your pets. I will take dogs for walks to get exercise if needed and hang out and show them love and attention while their family is away.
“Brook was amazing and my dogs loved her! She sent me updates, videos and photos every day! It was so comforting knowing someone was loving them nearly as much as I do. Three dogs is a handful but she handled it like a rock star! My house was spotless when I returned - pretty amazing since I can't even manage that for more than 10 minutes! I would recommend Brook to anyone but hope you don't take my spots with her! Thank you, Brook!”
About: I offer a highly personalized, attentive style of care that focuses on each pet’s unique needs and routines. I have experience with puppy care, senior pets, and animals who require extra patience, structure, or gentle support. I’m committed to reliable communication, consistent updates, and creating a calm, comfortable environment for every pet I look after. My goal is to make each pet feel safe, understood, and cared for just as they are at home. I have been taking care of pets since I was 12 years old and would love the opportunity to care for your furry friends :) I am a recent college graduate from Appalachian State University and will be starting my master’s degree program at UNCW in the fall. I reside in the Brunswick/North Myrtle Beach area and will be living at home during this time so my availability is super flexible! I am more than willing to willing to work around my schedule to accommodate for your furry friend to have a companion! 🐾 I take time to learn each pet’s likes, dislikes, and unique routines so I can mirror their normal day as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I maintain their familiar environment, minimizing stress by keeping their feeding areas, rest spots, and daily patterns unchanged. I also provide updates, photos, and messages so owners can feel confident and connected while they’re away!
“Robert was excellent at house sitting and taking care of our 2 dogs. He walked them, cleaned up after them and my house was clean and dogs were happy when I arrived home. Already have him booked for our next trip.”
“Carly did such a great job! She was flexible when I changed the arrival time (and totally accommodating for our early morning flight!) and she was so clean that I couldn’t even tell she was at our house for a few days. She sent photos all throughout the day without me asking, and Clementine looked so happy with her. I will 100% use Carly again !!”

“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.”
“Paris is an exceptional pet sitter who is caring, playful with our pups, punctual, polite, and trustworthy. We were lucky to find her during our vacation at Myrtle Beach. She even recommended an awesome restaurant!! Don’t hesitate to book with her, she’s the best!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats frequently since middle school, often in house sitting settings as well. I have had dogs throughout my entire life and have many friends with cats and have spent ample time with them. I have dealt with numerous animals with health issues or problems, including older pets and puppies. I understand the value of all the little unique things that are important to an owner to ensure their pet is taken care of, healthy, protected and loved to their standard. My family rescued a puppy this past year, and I took on a large responsibility in training and watching him during his more crucial stages. I have worked with and spent time around multiple rescued animals and understand the value of creating a comfortable environment from them and extra care to detail as they often have triggers from past experiences. I also work with puppies through a local breeder and have learned a lot about puppies and their development. I am a skilled problem solver, know how to communicate well and can recognize when over-communication is important. I manage my time well and feel that people in my life would consider me an overachiever in all things I do. I love animals and miss having them to interact with while at school; therefore, time spent with them is always valuable to me. I am currently a full-time student at Coastal Carolina University and play club volleyball. I have always worked and played a sport full time alongside school, and after transferring here recently, I have found myself with time for a job. With a schedule that makes my routine look different day by day I have found this would be a great fit as I can be flexible in working with clients. My weekends are free and I have lots of longer gaps throughout my day between classes which could be valuable to those who have to leave their pets for long periods of time. I'm from colorado so going home is not an option for me often and widens my availbilty. I have experience working in apartments, houses, ect of all kinds. Often my pet care includes house sitting which I am very comfortable with. I understand the value and basic decency of respect to others homes and possesions. The golden rule is a fundamental aspect of how I operate in my day to day and I would never do something I wouldnt want done to me, my pets or my home. I am a very honest person and would not hesitate to communicate anything that happens in my time with clients pets or their homes. Honesty is the best policy and valuable in maintinging proper care. I am a great problem solver and have lots of experience with handling conflict. I have grown up very indepentdent and am confident people in my life would consider me to be highly reliable and responsible. Positions as team captains, tutoring and as an RA speak to these traits.
About: Being a mother of 2 and having grown up with animals my whole life, I know how important it is to leave your “babies” in the hands of someone you can trust. I’ve grown up with pets and have 20+ years experience caring for them. I have had dogs mostly but have cared for cats, birds and gerbils. I would describe myself as nurturing, responsible, active, and fun! I work from home so I am free and available to care for your pet and am able to provide frequent potty breaks and care. I live in an apartment and I am not strict about animals on the couch or bed. I live in a great neighborhood, next to parks, open fields and the beach, perfect for dog walking and outside activities!
“Ryan was an amazing dog sitter! He was attentive, caring, and kept great communication throughout. My dogs were very comfortable with him, and I felt completely at ease while away. I’d definitely book with him again!”
About: I have years of experience caring for animals, including my own two dogs and previous work in veterinary care and pet sitting. I provide loving, reliable care tailored to each pet’s needs. While caring for my own two dogs and cat, I maintain a structured schedule that allows me plenty of time to care for clients’ pets. I provide trusted drop ins, walks, and overnight stays for locals and visitors. I care for pets in their homes by keeping their routines consistent, providing meals, fresh water, walks, playtime, medications if needed, companionship, and a safe, comfortable environment while owners are away.
“Allen was great! I needed a last minute sitter and Allen was the perfect choice. Great communication and put up with my silly dogs with no complaints. Left my house in great condition. I look forward to having him stay with my beasties again. Thank you so much! 💜”
About: New to Rover, but not sitting, and am so excited to care for you all!! I’ve always been the go-to pet caretaker for family, friends, and neighbors. I absolutely love animals, and I take the responsibility of caring for someone’s pet very seriously. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, basic training, crate routines, senior care, and giving shy pets the patience they need.From playtime to specific routines, I make sure every dog is loved and understood. As a dog mom who’s senior baby recently passed, I promise to treat yours like my own. I offer gentle, reliable, and trustworthy care. I’m currently almost always available for pet care and am able to maintain a consistent weekly schedule. Your pet will receive dependable visits, routine-based care, and steady attention throughout the week. I’m a big believer in comfort and consistency. In your home, I follow your routine exactly with any house rules or routines you have. I keep things clean, calm, and comforting so your pets stay relaxed and happy. I love to give lots of attention, send updates, and make sure they are genuinely cared for while you’re away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Calabash
We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our three spoiled pups! She certainly had her hands full with their different personalities, feeding schedules and routines, but she handled everything wonderfully. She kept us updated with pictures, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away for a family wedding. It was so nice knowing our pups were happy, loved and well cared for. We truly appreciated her patience, attention to detail and the wonderful care she gave our little crew. We would absolutely recommend her and wouldn't hesitate to book her again!

The average cost of House Sitting in Calabash is $61 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $67 per night.

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.
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 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 , 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.
