Making sure to give them proper attention; bathing, feeding, and exercise. I grew up with many animals on my mother’s farm, so I have lots of experience taking care of pet friends! I’m currently an online student for AppState and work 9-5 Monday-Friday. I am available to watch any pet friends before and after work, for overnight stays, and weekends anytime!

About: I offer full-time animal caretaking services, in mine or the client’s home. I’m available to offer continuous care most days, with the occasion need for errands and or an event. I prefer boarding, house sitting, drop ins and daily dog walking activities for families in the Carolina Beach, Kure Beach, Wilmington area, since I live in Carolina Beach, but I have offered longer care services for clients in Hamstead, Porter’s Neck, Southport and surrounding areas for additional cost. Please reach out, I’m happy to discuss our schedules and see if we are a good fit and how we can best suit your needs. I offer a fun loving and playful spirit that most dogs enjoy but I’m are also very experienced with all types of dogs/cats/animals, and have experience with elderly dogs and cats, who may have medical conditions that may need a little extra specialized attention; I offer a gentle and loving companion for your sweet pup, cat or other animals. You may see from past reviews information about our mountain house. We currently provide boarding care for this area when we visit the mountain house, a little about our farm - I own a 21 acre farm in Ferguson, NC. Centrally located between Wilkesboro and Boone. We have a huge mountainous terrain fenced with access to the house and a large gated wrap around porch. Currently our full time home is in Carolina Beach and we have the best biggest back fenced in yard, with a pet friendly deck and cozy inside space, if your dog is boarded at our home, you can expect for the dog to have contact with other dogs. I’ve owned many dogs in my life, i.e. Huskies, Newfoundland’s, Labs, Goldens, Havanese, Blue healers, Doberman pinchers, and loving mutts! I’ve sled and biked and hiked with dogs, trained dogs, and I am very comfortable around all animals. I have two daughters, (my oldest is in college) and an animal loving partner, Spencer, who also has a rover site, so if I’m not available he may be, and we are each others emergency contact in case something were ever to happen., They all love to play fetch, frisbee and agility and trick training. We have a lot of fun with our furry friends and can offer an abundant amount of love, care, space and time for your fur babies! We like to call ourselves the WildOnes and we can’t wait to hear from you and hopefully spend special time with your furry family! I’m a full time rover sitter and animal caregiver. I’m available for full time care in your home or mine, with an occasional need for errands or special events. By following your everyday guidelines, and mimicking what your daily routine is, this allows a great amount of security to you and your animal. We always are sure to leash animals when they are not in the fenced area at your home. We want to encourage good behavior by following the training protocols that your animal has had, and also encouraging your pet to learn new things if they desire to.

About: I've been surrounded by cats and dogs for most of my life and genuinely love spending time with animals. I'm a part-time RN, full-time graduate student at UNC Wilmington, and a full-time dog mom to my sweet girl, Majerle, who is the absolute sweetest bean. I joined Rover as a way to earn a little supplemental income while doing something that brings me joy. Spending time with pets gets me outside, keeps me active, and is one of my favorite ways to recharge from work and school. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to sweet senior pups. I frequently pet sit for friends and family, including English and French Bulldogs, so I'm familiar with breeds that may need a little extra attention and care. You can count on me to be dependable, communicative, and to treat your pets like they're my own family. I'm a part-time Registered Nurse and a full-time graduate student at UNC Wilmington. Rover is my fun side gig because I genuinely love animals and enjoy any excuse to get outside, move my body, and spend time with furry friends. My schedule varies week to week, but I keep my calendar updated and only accept bookings I know I can fully commit to. As both a nurse and a dog mom, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I have a dog of my own, Majerle, and she's the sweetest bean, so I understand that pets are family. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or taking them out for walks, I'll treat them with the same patience, attention, and love that I'd want for my own dog. I'm dependable, communicative, and happy to provide updates while you're away.

About: Hello! I have grown up with more pets than people in my household, and that has served me well. I am capable of handling multiple dogs on walks (there’s nothing more comical than juggling multiple leashes) and caring for both cats and dogs. I was an assistant in therapy dog training and puppy training for four years (Teamworks in Raleigh), and this has provided me with cognitive and behavioral insight into dogs. I also have taken care of dogs around my neighborhood growing up. My philosophy with pets is that they make the owner feel better and vice versa. I promise to take care of your pets as I would my own: with love, respect, and as much exercise as they deserve. I look forward to working with you. I work full time remotely, so have flexibility to take care of your pet’s needs. My weekend availability varies but my calendar will be up to date. I will take care of your pet in your home, where they will be most comfortable. I am also available for drop-ins, or walks while you are at work, or other non-stay related activities.

About: I have always had a dog or dogs in my life and have always been a active pet owner. I live a block from two different walking trails, and five blocks from the beach, I love walking so hopefully your pup does too. I understand the needs of animals and have worked jobs/volunteered where animal welfare was a top priority. I am also enrolled in a dog training program at UNCW and volunteer working with puppies. When an animal is in my care it’s welfare will be my top priority meaning making sure your pet is safe, secure, fed on their normal schedule, have had adequate exercise for their activity level and whatever other needs your pet requires. I currently have Wednesday and Friday mornings off so I can take your dog on morning walks those days. And I have mostly all Evenings open after 6 for a night walk. I live by two walking trails and close to the beach if your dog likes the beach it’s a quick drive I am used to walking morning and night that has always been my dog walk schedule and distance is always depended on dogs fitness level

About: I worked and lived at a dog sanctuary in Guatemala for two months (May & June 2025). I cared for and walked 6+ dogs a day, mainly two at a time. I really grew to love them. There were 11 total dogs. five were 1-years-old or younger and all were 3-years-old or younger, so I have experience with puppies. I lived with and cared for a 60-lb pit bull for 6 weeks (2x daily walks). She took adequate strength to control on the leash. After caring for her, I feel confident with this type of pet after getting to know them a little. I have grown up with & cared for cats all my life. I am currently working a part time remote job and studying for fitness & wellness related certifications and can be very flexible with my time. Cleaning up after pets and making sure pets have clean & fresh food and water is a must. Getting to know their personality and/or walking style is important, so I can know how to best play, walk, and support them during our time together.

About: I’ve spent several summers caring for both cats and dogs as well as having them in my house growing up! I absolutely love giving them the attention they deserve, whether that’s playtime, walks, or cuddle time. As a 20 year old college student, I bring lots of energy, patience, and genuine love for animals. I enjoy making pets feel safe, happy, and cared for like they’re part of my own family I currently am a college student with mostly early morning classes, so I am up pretty early. I also am a soccer coach for Wilmington hammer heads which is about 2 hours Monday, Wednesday, Thursday nights. Other than that I am extremely flexible and am never busy for long periods of time! Whether I’m in my home or a client’s, safety and comfort always come first. I make sure pets have a clean, secure space, follow their normal routines, and give them plenty of attention so they feel at ease. My goal is to create an environment where pets are happy, loved, and cared for just like they would be with their family.

“Millie did such a great job walking my rescue silver lab, Belle. She took the time to get to know Belle during the meet and greet and asked really good questions. When walking Belle, she arrived on time, communicated well, and was able to redirect Belle, who often struggles to stay calm when other dogs are nearby. I highly recommend her and willing be using her services again!”

About: I have been pet sitting for about 5 years and have cared for many different types of pets, including dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, fish, and lizards. I am very comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs, and I always make sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I am also experienced in giving medications and following specific care instructions when needed. My mom is a veterinarian, so I have grown up around animals and learned a lot about proper pet care and paying attention to changes in an animal’s behavior or health. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet I care for like they are my own! I am currently a college student at UNCW, and I have a 3+ hour break between every class, so I have plenty of free time to take pets out for a potty break throughout the day. I am also completely free most weekends, so I have lots of time to spend with pets! I usually care for pets in their own homes so they can stay in a place they already know and feel comfortable in. I always make sure to follow their normal routine, including feeding, walks, medication, and playtime. I’ll also make sure the house is clean, secure, and just the way the owner left it. Most importantly, I want both the pets and their owners to feel comfortable and know they’re in good hands.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Carolina Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Carolina Beach is $28 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $10 and $28 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 November 2026, there are 1,257 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Carolina Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Carolina Beach. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Carolina Beach after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 walker 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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Carolina Beach. On Rover:

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

walkers 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 walker.
