“So thankful to have found Jane!! She gave our Piper such good care while we were away. She provided updates and left our house wonderfully!! So nice our pup could stay in her house and be so lovingly cared for!! We will definitely ask her again and would highly recommend!! thank you Jane!”
“Chrissie did a wonderful job watching our pup and our home. Our dog loved Chrissie from their first meet and greet, and she seemed well loved when we got home from vacation. Chrissie sent pictures and updates daily, she left my house cleaner than she found it and she also went out of her way to buy a itch relief spray for my dog who developed a rash right before our trip. We were very happy with the care she provided, I would book Chrissie to watch my dog anytime!”
“Desi was fantastic with the dogs and our cat. She provided us daily updates, plenty of photos and videos, and our animals were all big fans. The house looked great when we got back from our trip and we will definitely have Desi back for future dog walks and stays.”
“Emily is fantastic! She was so wonderful with my two rambunctious pups and provided regular updates. Left my house in great condition. Would absolutely recommend her to for anyone looking for a pet sitter :)”
“Olivia did a great job with Piper. She provided us updates as needed, including photos. I think Piper had a great time with her. Prior to the booking, Olivia came by to meet us and Piper. She asked a lot of great questions and took notes. Leading up to the stay and during the stay she was great with communications, which was important to me. She took care of the house, brought in the mail and washed the sheets and towels before she left. I wouldn't hesitate to book Olivia to watch your pet. We don't travel much, especially now, but will plan on using her services next time we leave town.”
About: I've taken care of animals my entire life, having had many throughout including dogs, cats, and more. I have cared for pets for neighbors, friends, and family for both short and long term periods. I love spending time with animals and always give lots of love! My schedule varies slightly due to part-time work, but I’m flexible and do my best to accommodate requests! I’m generally available for overnight care and have daytime availability that varies week to week. Feel free to message me, I’m happy to discuss scheduling! I care for pets in their own home or come for walks to keep them comfortable and stress-free in their familiar environment. I follow all care instructions closely, maintain routines, and prioritize safety, cleanliness, and respect for your home. I also provide updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: I have had dogs and cats for over 15 years and have pet sit many times. I have experienced with puppies as I have fostered them in the past. Thank you for your consideration, I would love to assist you. I have a very open and flexible schedule! I am able to attend to any days and times that best fit your schedule. I am hoping to do this part-time and do not have another job that conflicts. I usually take notes during our introductory meeting or appreciate notes with directions as well. I have always locked up appropriately after check-ins and will send you an update of your pet with a photo.
“Nolan was AWESOME! We did a meet and greet prior to sitting and he was detail focused on their needs. Also asked for more time to play and familiarize the dogs with him. While we were away he sent regular updates and photos/videos. When we returned our dogs seemed like their normal selves, having attention, play time, and relaxation. It was just the experience we were looking for. Highly recommend Nolan for all dog breeds and behaviors.”
“Shyloh went above and beyond for her weekend stay with Moonstar. She was communicative throughout the weekend, she cleaned up a potted plant that Moonie got into and made a mess, and even washed her own sheets and towels before I got home. Unnecessary but VERY much appreciated. So pleased to have a trustworthy person to care for my moonbeam while I’m away. Thank you Shyloh!”
“Alex did an outstanding job with my senior dog and cat. She was communicative and reliable. She asked great questions and was a pleasure to work with. I will for sure rebook her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter in the area. My house was well cared for as well and she did everything I asked. My animals were very well cared for and happy when I returned home-versus stressed.”
About: Did you know walking, caring for and loving on a pet can spark creativity? I am a writer with a lifetime of pet ownership who would be honored to take care of your fur babies (and find some inspiration in the process!). I have just returned to the corporate world (it’s a fully remote role) from a traveling sabbatical writing several passion projects. My schedule is still quite flexible and my ability to travel to you quite easy. I understand maintaining your pet’s routine while you’re away is essential to minimizing their anxiety (and yours!). I have a large SUV if your dogs require transportation (like a trip to a favorite dog park or have a regularly scheduled play date or grooming appointment).
“Katie was fantastic!!! She was great with our dog Brady and he just loved her! She took him on walks every day and kept us updated (with pictures) while we were on our vacation... She looked after things at the house and left it as if she'd never been here! We've been home for a day now and Brady keeps looking for her to come back... We would recommend Katie highly to anyone looking for a house or dog sitter, or both... We will definitely plan to use her again and I'm sure that Brady can't wait!! 5 stars and A+++”
About: Hi, I’m Sarah! A lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve looked after everything from energetic puppies who need extra playtime to senior pets who require gentle care and patience. My experience includes: • Daily walks, exercise, and enrichment to keep pups happy and healthy • Feeding, administering medications, and following specific care routines • Lots of love, cuddles, and companionship to make pets feel at home • Experience with crate training, leash manners, and multi-pet households I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. My priority is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for, just like they would with you. I’ll always send updates, pictures, and notes so you have peace of mind while you’re away. Whether it’s a long walk, a cozy cuddle session, or keeping up with a playful pup’s energy, I’m here to give your pets the care they deserve. 🐶🐱💛 I currently work full-time remote! I have 2 cats and 3 dogs of my own and love the flexibility and attention I can given them because of it. I have about .30 acres of completely fenced in back yard which is perfect for my own pets and all pets that come to visit!
“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: I grew up in a home with both dogs and cats and have always loved caring for animals. When I was six years old, my parents gifted me a kitten named Sophia. She became my best friend and lived to be 20 years old before recently passing away from chronic kidney disease (CKD). Caring for Sophia throughout her life taught me a lot abt what cats need to thrive, including administering subcutaneous fluids and supporting a senior pet with medical needs. I also volunteer with a local cat rescue, where I spend time caring for cats and learning about their unique personalities and needs. Since Sophia’s passing, I’ve realized how much I miss having animals in my daily life. Pet sitting allows me to share that love and care with other people’s pets while giving owners peace of mind that their furry family members are in good hands. I’m currently working full time but available everyday after 3:30/4. With the schedule I have, it allows me to still devote time to caring for your fur babies! I’m more than happy to come to your home to care for your pet so that you can enjoy your time away from home without anxiety!
“Bella was absolutely fantastic while watching my dog, Lola, at our house for four days. She sent daily updates and some wonderful pictures, which gave me total peace of mind and allowed me to fully relax on my trip. I came home to a very happy dog and a perfectly cared-for home. I highly recommend Bella to anyone looking for a top-notch, reliable pet sitter!”
“Absolutely amazing care!!!!!!! Me and my husband went on vacation for 3 days and she took care of our cat and dog and the whole time she was extremely amazing with communicating everyday. She sent me updates and daily pictures of both my babies. She was on time every morning and evening. she is an amazing pet sitter 110% recommend her! Definitely going too her again!”
“Rebecca was fantastic! She was very attentive to the needs of our boys and provided us with just the right amount of updates throughout our vacation, like daily photos. I felt very comfortable having her stay in our home so our boys had some familiarity while we were gone, and our house was neat and clean when we returned. We highly recommend Rebecca and will seek her out to watch our boys during our next getaway!”
“Avery was a phenomenal Rover sitter. She took such good care of Meatball and sent me updates with photos during my trip. She took such nice care of my home while I was gone and it was spotless when I got back. It meant the world to me and I will definitely book house sitting with her again!”
“Matt is always so good to Piper! Very communicative while away with sweet picture updates on how Piper is doing. He is very diligent in following care guidelines even with my spunky, high energy pup. He is also a very respectful house guest.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Carolina Beach
I needed a sitter for our dog Willow since my whole family was at an event. I checked out the Rover website for the 1st time and all the reviews. I chose Shyloh F. for the close proximity as well as previous reviews. I was so pleased beyond my expectations with Shyloh. Shyloh visited with Willow 2 times to meet her since she is nervous with new people. I was sent pictures and updates that assured me all was well at home. We came home Sunday to a clean house with all towels and sheets washed and bed made. It was such a nice surprise after the long drive home! I will use and refer Shyloh again in the future.
We were happy to invite Denise back into our home to care for French Toast. French welcomed Denise with tail wags and kisses. Denise took French on some daily ‘adventures’ which he loved. Denise has excellent communication with us and sent photos and descriptions of French’s day. We really appreciate the level of care given to French by Denise. We highly recommend her services.
We had a very positive experience with Sarah. She was reliable, communicative, and sent thoughtful photo updates while we were away, which gave us peace of mind. Most importantly, our Velcro dog clearly felt comfortable with her and really warmed up to her quickly. It’s reassuring to know our pup was in good hands. We would gladly book with her again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Carolina Beach
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Carolina Beach on Rover is $27.75 per night (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of June 2026, there are 752 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Carolina 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 Carolina 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 Carolina 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 Carolina 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 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

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.
