“Sarah was amazing and took such great care of my cat. She was super responsive and provided amazing updates and pictures of her visits. My cat is very shy but warmed up to her quickly. Will definitely be using her for all my upcoming cat sitting needs.”
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!
“McKenna dis a great job caring for my 3 cats while we were away. She visited twice each day and provided medication to one of my cats. They were very relaxed and happy when we got home”
“Patricia did all visits in a timely manner, along with pictures. The cats looked like they were happy to see her & available for pictures. I appreciated the details she left me on each visit. All was good when we got back.”
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 had a variety of pets my entire life, and love taking care of them. I have raised puppies from when they were young. I am no professional at training, but have experience training up 2 puppies of my own. I have taught them basics and some other special tricks. I have experience leash training and crate training as well. I’ve had experience dog sitting for others for 4 years. Hi! I am currently a college student who recently relocated to the Wilmington area. I make it a habit to ensure all specific pets needs are met at all times. I make a point with all of my animals to spend individual time curated specifically towards them. All of my pets follow a schedule. They know when to expect to be walked, fed, and played with. I try to bring my dog with me whenever I can but she understands that sometimes she needs to stay home for her well being.
“Absolutely amazing! My two fur babies were loved and cared for as if they were her own. Having someone I could trust completely gave us so much peace of mind while I was away. It is rare to find someone who genuinely loves and cares for your pets just as much as you do. I couldn't be happier with the care, attention, and affection Tiffney gave them. Highly recommend! ❤️🐾”

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 taken care of my childhood dogs, Rosie and Penny, since I was around 10 years old. They are small, but high maintenance dogs that require a lot of attention. I have recently become a cat owner to my boy, Toad, who is a rambunctious Tabby. He is also high maintenance and very menacing. Other than my furry friends, I have looked after my family friends’ Labrador occasionally over the past two years! I am currently a full time graduate student at UNCW, as well as a graduate teaching assistant. I will be on campus Tuesdays-Thursdays, but I still have flexibility those days! My genuine love for animals is what makes me a good pet sitter. I strive to give them the best care and to make them happy companions!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Carolina Beach
This was our first time using any sort of pet sitting service, and Sarah really put us at ease, and made us feel more comfortable with that prior to our trip. Her daily updates were nice and detailed, and there were no issues when we needed to make a slight change to the plan to leave more food for our cats. Her communication was clear and prompt. She even went out of her way to find our shiest cat under the bed to let us know that everything was fine. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her as a pet sitter.
Mary did a fantastic job with a check in visit on my dog Max. Being an energetic Rat Terrier I don’t like leaving him for long periods of time. She walked him and played with in our backyard. It gave me peace of mind that he was being so well taken care of! I highly recommend her and will be using her again.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Carolina Beach is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters 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 October 2026, there are 1,280 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Carolina Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.

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 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.
