“Jane was great with our three dogs. She kept us informed with all that was going on with our house and dogs while we were gone. We came back to a clean home and happy dogs. We were very relaxed on vacation knowing our dogs were under her care.”
“Chrissie did an amazing job with our two dogs! She was a last minute booking (our other sitter got sick) and I am so that we connected with her. She sent updates, took excellent care of our boys, and our home was well cared for while we were gone on a week long vacation. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi! I’ve been caring for dogs—from energetic puppies to sweet senior pups—for over 15 years. I treat every animal like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you're away. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I understand how to adjust care based on their age and needs. I prioritize communication so you always know what’s going on, to make this as stress free as possible! I am a graduate student in school full-time, but my weekdays and weekends are very flexible. Please reach out to me with any special schedule requests! I am very clean and will leave your house spotless if caring overnight for your pet. I cater to the pets’ needs and will do everything I can to ensure a safe and fun environment!
“Desi was beyond amazing! She stayed at our home and was respectful and clean. Moose was happy the entire time and was spoiled rotten. Highly recommend her services. 1000/10! Thank you again Desi!”
“Michele.. Is a thoughtful, dependable animal loving person. We have an elderly 15+ year old Yorkie that has some health issues plus she recently lost her lifelong roommate. Needless to say we were concerned about finding someone that keep Misha comfortable, fed, medicated & loved.. Michele met all of our criteria. She is a wonderful person & we highly recommend her if you are concerned about leaving your precious pet with someone who will care for them.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Nat was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter for our dog, Luna. From the moment we met her, we felt completely comfortable knowing Luna was in caring and capable hands. Nat was attentive, reliable, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. She kept us updated and made sure Luna was happy, well-exercised, and well cared for while we were away. We came home to a relaxed and content pup, which says everything. We would highly recommend Nat to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter and will definitely use her again.”
“Abby was great during our 9 day vacation. We were worried leaving them with someone else for the first time but she sent videos and pictures, and even gave them a bath! The Pups were sad to see her leave so I know they had a great time too. We will definitely use her again. Thanks Abby!”
“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.”
“Stephanie was amazing! She sent photos and updates several times a day, brought our pups on lots of walks and clearly made our pets feel so safe and loved! We will absolutely be reaching out to her again in the future!”
About: I was an intern at Como Zoo for 5 years caring for all kinds of critters, all different shapes, colors, and sizes! That is where I grew my childhood love of pets to a love of all creatures :) I currently work in the late afternoon/ night so morning and mid day walks work best for me, but open to try and wiggle my schedule around! I believe animals respond best to positive attitudes and enrichment, they’re intelligent creatures that need to get out and explore just like us, with the safety and comfort of a good companion!
“Katie was attentive and handled everything Keto had to throw at her, we had her watch keto at our wedding and roam about during cocktail hour with Keto in a little suit, I heard he was adorable, would definitely book her again for events or just to watch our little guy, thanks for coming🙂”
“Olivia was great. She stayed in our home and took care of our two large dogs while we were out of town. Our pups were spoiled and happy, and we got lots of photos and updates. She was always very responsive and took great care of both our dogs and our house. I would definitely use her again.”
“Shyloh was amazing. We highly recommend her. We have a bit of a chaotic household with three high maintenance fur babies and one human teen. The trip snuck up on me and I ran out of time to prepare the house the way I had planned. Shyloh was incredibly flexible and understanding. When we picked up prescription refills for the dogs just before leaving, one was left behind and she remembered to ask about it. I felt this was incredible attention to detail and showed just how seriously she takes the responsibility of watching someone else’s pets. We tend to worry too, but she provided regular updates and was always one step ahead. Even checking to make sure we were home at the time we told her we would just in case the dogs might need her to check on them again if we had been held up. She washed their bowls, had to clean a soiled rug and absolutely left our home in better shape than we left it. We just hope that Shyloh is willing to watch our kiddos again. She was fabulous.”
“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 have extensive experience caring for a wide variety of animals and have been surrounded by pets for as long as I can remember. Growing up with dogs, cats, rabbits, lizards, fish, and other animals has given me a strong understanding of their unique needs, behaviors, and personalities. As an experienced pet sitter, I understand how important it is to provide pets with a safe, comfortable, and stress free environment while their owners are away. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, administering medications, maintaining routines, or simply offering companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I take the time to learn each pet’s individual needs and personality to ensure they feel happy, secure, and well cared for. I am currently in online college working towards a degree in environmental science. Pet sitting is a good way for me to stay focused on school while still be able to work. In addition to caring for pets, I take pride in being clean, organized, and reliable. If I am caring for your pet in your home, I will treat your space with the utmost respect and ensure it is clean and tidy when you return.
“Amelia stayed in our home and looked after our geriatric small dog recently. (This was our first experience with Rover). On a previous trip when she’d been boarded, our dog hadn’t eaten and had lost several lbs, so we needed help. Amelia was perfect! My dog was able to stay home with no change to her routine. I received pics, texts and had an stress-less trip thanks to Amelia!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Carolina Beach is $50
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 September 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 September 2026, there are 766 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.
