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: I've taken care of dogs since I was a child. As an adult I gave rescued and fostered all sizes and breeds. Dogs have filled my homes with love and joy and I look forward to sharing my large fenced back yard with a playful puppy or a well seasoned frisbee catcher I currently work three days a week, no more than 6 hours per day. I can visit twice daily, depending on location if a walk is needed. If I am pet sitting or boarding the pets will not be alone for more than 5 hours at a time. I have a large fenced yard with a 1/4 mile walking path just beyond the gate, backing up to Haliburton Park. I am also just 10 minutes from Carolina Beach State Park and the dog park if your pup likes to socialize

About: I’ve been pet sitting dogs and cats of all kinds since I was a young teenager. I truly enjoy getting to care for pets even though I’m not quite ready for one of my own while I’m in school. I have experience with animals of all sizes and temperaments, from skilled leash walkers to the more enthusiastic ones, and I love them all the same. I am currently in medical school on various rotations. I work 15 8-hour shifts per month. Outside of that, I am extremely flexible when it comes to meeting the needs of your pets! I live alone in an apartment that is pet-friendly. The complex itself is all side walks and there are many side yards for leashed walks and outside time. If pets are in my home I treat them as my own, which is like a beloved family member. Of course, I abide by the house rules of the owner if families have certain rules for their pets while in their own homes. For my walking services, I make sure to only walk in safe areas and am very self aware of my surroundings, making sure your dog is safe the entire time.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, especially labs and golden retrievers. I am very active, I enjoy spending my time in the woods biking and hiking. I am physically able to handle dogs of any size. I have a particularly strong connection with animals quickly after meeting them. I am able to read and pick up on cues such as them being nervous or timid. As much as I love being outdoors, I am very much open to dog sitting pups that are laid back. I have the patience to slowly earn your pets trust and I am willing to suit whatever needs your pet has. I enjoy dogs of any breed and would the love the chance to get to know yours.

About: I grew up caring for animals of all kinds! I feel that on walks and spending quality time together are essential for the best care!

I have access to multiple pet friendly outdoor spaces, and during the summer my apartment complex remains quiet! I prioritize giving the animal time to adjust to the new environment and try to work at their pace!

About: I have always loved taking care of pets for as long as I can remember. I have worked as a kennel technician for over 2 years, and have fallen in love with providing special care towards animals. There, I create safe play groups, feed, walk, play, and of course, clean! I will make sure to pay close attention to any special needs your pet may have. Accommodating to your dogs energy level, temperament, age, and health is very important to me. I will ensure to pay very close attention to any issues or concerns I may see while spending time with your pup. I believe maintaining a clean and tidy environment is important to an animals health. I will provide updates with messages and pictures about our time together. I look forward to hanging out and connecting with you and your pet! I am currently a college student, working an odd schedule. I will try to accommodate accordingly to whatever fits best for you. I make your pets needs and care a #1 priority, next to school work of course. I have 2 dogs of my own, Luna (labradoodle), who I have trained since she was a puppy, and Lacy (French Bulldog), who I am currently training (she is 5 months old). Although I do not have professional training experience, I will say I put all my patience into providing simple tasks that can better your dogs skills. Whether if it’s during walks, crate time, or a simple sit and stay, I will provide my best efforts for your pup to succeed in these things. Along with training, I always make sure to spend quality time with my puppies because we are what’s most important to them. I believe playtime is very important to keeping a dog young and healthy! In any clients home, I make sure to spend as much quality time with the clients dog to build a strong connection.

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.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs for most of my life. I’ve grown up around dogs of various breeds such as GSD, collies, and golden retrievers. My childhood dog lived long enough he began developing hip issues so I am well versed in caring for dogs who have special health needs. I’ve been dog sitting for awhile now and am comfortable with staying overnight if that is something you’re interested in! I’ve also dog sat for a dog whose back legs were paralyzed and am happy to assist your pup if they struggle with issues like that! Additionally I work at a doggy daycare (with boarding services) so I am around almost every breed you could think of and am well versed in medication dispersion as well as basic care. With all that being said, I am absolutely obsessed with big dogs (even Great Danes and St Bernards:)) but I am happy to work with dogs of any size! Also I am not scared of trying to work with a dog for them to be comfortable around me if they’re skittish at first. I am in grad school full time and work 25 hours a week at my internship, but I have breaks during the day to let out the animals as needed! I am almost always fully available on weekends, I usually am working on homework, playing pickleball, or reading for fun. I have two dogs and three cats at home so caring for your pets in your home would be a necessity. I am comfortable staying overnight or visiting late at night/early in the morning depending on your wishes. I love keeping the parents updated and can promise multiple pictures per day if you’re gone for a while! I prioritize sticking as close to your usual schedule as possible for your pets so they can keep a sense of normalcy while you’re away.

About: I've had the wonderful opportunity to care for various animals from farm to domestic. I have helped care for puppies as well as senior dogs. I have assisted with minor medical needs - IE: changing bandages/administering medicines. Every animal I have cared for has a special place in my heart. I offer flexible, open availability for animal caretaking, providing reliable and compassionate care for pets, including feeding, walking, playtime, and companionship at any time needed. As I cannot care for animals in my own home now, I am dedicated to following whatever needs you or your animal may need to ensure the best experience for everyone.

The average cost of Dog Walking in Carolina Beach is $28 per walk as of October 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 of October 2026, there are 1,247 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 your 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 , 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 , 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 .

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
  • 97% 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 .

walkers 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 walker.
