“Sarah was lovely and went above and beyond in taking care of our little crew. She provided excellent photos and updates and did things she didn’t have to like scooping the litter. Would unequivocally recommend her to anyone that needs a sitter!”

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!

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.

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 cared for pets for decades and I have 2 grand dogs and 5 grand cats. I have been blessed to care for many dogs, a half dozen cats, fish, hamsters, 3 baby squirrels and a hedgehog at my home and in others. Familiar with senior pet care, giving meds, raising puppies & kittens and I love to snuggle. I am retired and am available night and day. I miss our senior dog that we rescued as a puppy who passed a few months ago. In need of snuggles! I have pretty large grassy backyard for your dogs activities and a sunroom with full length windows for your pet to watch for birds, squirrels, hummingbirds, ect. I don’t mind having pets on my furniture or in my bed. I will provide the routine that your pet is used too and I am very familiar with senior dog care and puppy care too. We are in a gated community and I will be able to be home most of the time with the exception of a few small errands.

About: I have walked, taken care of overnight, and trained dogs for the past 5 years starting from the puppy stages to older dogs. I also have a dog of my own that I have raised from 6 weeks old and she is now 6 years old. I am very flexible and have tons of time for your pets! Just message me what you need and I will definitely make it happen! I am very playful with dogs when I go to see them. I love going on walks and do playtime with them. I also do not mind bathing, taking them to the park or anything a client can think of that they would like me to do with their dog.

About: For three years I was a service dog trainer for dogs aged two days to two years. I have also dog sat since I was 14 for dogs of all ages including senior pups. I have had regularly scheduled dog walking jobs as well. I have free time most mornings and each afternoon during the week, along with time available on the weekends and I would love to spend time with some furry friends. Dogs in my home will be taken on walks each morning and evening. I run a few mornings each and if this is something your dog would like to join for that is also an option! I will adhere to any dietary instructions provided for me. Outside of the home I will adhere to any instructions, I am an active person and will of course play and walk your dog as much as wanted!

About: Hi! I’m Amy, and I truly believe pets are family. I’m a responsible, and compassionate person who understands how important it is to feel confident that your beloved pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a genuine love for animals and experience caring for dogs with different personalities, needs, and routines. I grew up on a farm and have led a pet centered life since. I am patient, attentive, and dependable, and I take the time to make pets feel comfortable and loved in my care. Whether your pet wants long walks and lots of playtime, quiet companionship, or simply someone to stick to their familiar routine, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I also understand that every pet—and every pet parent—is different. I’m careful about following feeding instructions, medications, schedules, exercise routines, and any special requests. I’ll treat your home with the same respect and care I give your pets. Most importantly, I want you to be able to relax while you’re away. I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and plenty of reassurance so you know your furry family member is doing well. I would love the opportunity to get to know you and your pets and become someone you can trust whenever they need a little extra love and care. ❤️ I currently do not work so I have plenty of time to drop in and spend time with your pet! Feeding, walking, crating and playing with your pets is my focus! I will always care for your pet as if it is my own. I have two wonderful dogs and a fenced in yard for extended stays

About: Pets bring a sense of peace and harmony to me. I used to care for my neighbors pets and get paid for those in my early adolescence years. Pretty much any house I've ever gone to or visited have had or have at least a dog or a cat. I have knowledge of animal behavior & I am patient. I can help potty train if requested. I am very aware of my surroundings & I like to exercise. Your dog (s) will get lots of exercise with me! I will do light housekeeping for you during my stay if it is requested and/or allowed. I have a flexible schedule in order to provide service to anyone that needs help. I am only eligible to provide dog walking services, drop-in visits, & in-home sitting services. I cannot board animals right now because of my current living situation. I will only require a little bit of advance for any bookings! Currently only accepting house sitting requests at this time. I always make sure your pets have water, food, treats, & some form of entertainment & support. Whether that be chew toys or in general my affection, I always want to make sure they are comfortable and having fun. With puppies I do hourly potty breaks. I will also take them for walks around the neighborhood when doing in-home visits if allowed. However I am able to help, I will!:)

About: As a veterinary assistant at a mixed-animal practice, I have hands-on experience caring for animals with a variety of needs. I have experience with dogs, cats, horses, reptiles, amphibians, chickens, sheep, goats, cattle, and some pigs. I’m comfortable administering medications, following specific care routines, and providing patient, attentive care. I’m always willing to learn and make sure every animal receives the care they need! I currently work Monday through Friday 8-5, so I’m available for pet care on weekends. I’m happy to coordinate visits around your pet’s needs and routine, and I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability! I’m occasionally available before and after work and I’m always available on holidays! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I’ll follow your care instructions closely, maintain their usual routines, and make sure they’re safe and comfortable in their own home. I’m happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand to go over their needs, medications, and any special instructions. I’ll also keep you updated during visits so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!

About: I love animals I love taking care of them. I love having their responsibility of making sure they are happy and healthy. I love cats and dogs, especially! I’m currently in school so I would only be available in the afternoons after 4 pm on weekdays sometimes earlier and till 10 pm. On weekends I am available all day! I take my dogs out on walks when I see them at the door. I make sure they are fed breakfast lunch and dinner. For my cat I take care of her by providing food and changing litter and when it’s time for her insulin shot I proved the proper dosage!

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.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Carolina Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Carolina Beach is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $24 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 November 2026, there are 1,292 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.

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.

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

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters 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 sitter.
