About: I offer a highly personalized, attentive style of care that focuses on each pet’s unique needs and routines. I have experience with puppy care, senior pets, and animals who require extra patience, structure, or gentle support. I’m committed to reliable communication, consistent updates, and creating a calm, comfortable environment for every pet I look after. My goal is to make each pet feel safe, understood, and cared for just as they are at home. I have been taking care of pets since I was 12 years old and would love the opportunity to care for your furry friends :) I am a recent college graduate from Appalachian State University and will be starting my master’s degree program at UNCW in the fall. I reside in the Brunswick/North Myrtle Beach area and will be living at home during this time so my availability is super flexible! I am more than willing to willing to work around my schedule to accommodate for your furry friend to have a companion! 🐾 I take time to learn each pet’s likes, dislikes, and unique routines so I can mirror their normal day as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I maintain their familiar environment, minimizing stress by keeping their feeding areas, rest spots, and daily patterns unchanged. I also provide updates, photos, and messages so owners can feel confident and connected while they’re away!
About: I've been around dogs a majority of my adult life. They are god's creatures and I will give tons of love to them! They give unconditional love --- and want to give it right back to them. I'm retired now and love all fur babies so I can totally work with anyone's schedule! I know that pets are part of the family so take pet sitting/walking very serious. I can totally go to client's home and be a supportive pal as their loved ones are away. Exercise is so important so whether it's ball play time or a long walk --- I'm excited in my little way to make them feel comfortable and safe!
“Debra is AMAZING. Had daily updates everyday even with pictures. So reliable and caring towards our kitties. Will be booking again in near future. Very greatful we found her”
“Alex dropped in to feed Big B and let him outside afterwards. He was great with B.J. and wasn’t intimidated by his size, excitement AND hair at all. He gave him lots of attention which B.J. absolutely loves. I have a Rat Terrier Chihuahua mix who was wary of him at first, but he informed me that he eventually warmed up to him. I will certainly request his services whenever I need a good dog sitter.”
About: My husband and I have had pets all our lives and absolutely love all animals! We are also experienced in giving meds of any kind, or making sure your pet is taken care of properly such as no treats, lotts of treats or whatever you may need! I own my own business so I am flexible, and able to work with yours to care for your pet! However I may be out of the house sometimes and would prefer your pet to be crate trained. I have a fenced in yard and two golden retriever pups to play with your fur baby! I can easily crate your pet if needed.
About: Certified Professional Pet Sitter (CPPS) with a current background check, I began working in veterinary hospitals in 1982 and worked a total of ten years in this field. It was during this time that I began to pet/house sit. I took care of dogs, cats and birds and worked for several clients for 20+ years. During my time working in veterinary hospitals I learned how to administer sub-q fluids, insulin and liquid and pill medications. My immediate goal is to become a full-time dog sitter/walker which will allow me to spend thirty minutes to an hour with each dog in my care. I am a walker - I do not drive - so my focus will be on long walks and ample time spent at the dog run should the client so desire. I am very attentive, meticulous and responsible and welcome the opportunity to care for senior as well as special needs pets. Since this is my full-time job I am available seven days a week to morning, afternoon and early evening to cat sit or walk your dog. If the client has a fenced in yard I always make sure it is secure and well-lit before bringing the dog(s) outside. I only walk one dog at a time and always with a leash or harness.
“Trina did an excellent job. She had consistant communication to update us and even brought our packages in. You will be glad you trusted her with your fur baby. We will definitely be using her again.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 20 years and have several years of professional experience in dog training and pet care.

I offer personalized dog walks, adventure style walks, drop-in visits and overnight care in your home. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, medications, walks, playtime and enrichment. My professional training background also gives me experience safely handling dogs who may need a little more patience, structure or understanding than the average pet sitter can provide. Most importantly, I treat every animal in my care as an individual. I’m dependable, communicative and genuinely love what I do. I’m also a proud Husky mom to Winter & Koda and cat mom to Cat, Mooshka & Rumpus. Pet care is my full-time profession, so my schedule is built around the animals in my care.

“Marie took such great care of our boy Ernie. Made us feel comfortable and treated him like family. She went above and beyond. Great communication as well. We could not have asked for anyone better. She is truly amazing!”
“Brook is very reliable and my beagle is completely comfortable with her. She also communicated throughout our time away. Have already rebooked Brook for 2 more out of town trips.”
About: My family has a dog of our own that I have helped care for, for 15 years! I’ve also helped take care of a few other dogs for vacationing families.

About: Dogs only want to give and receive love. They are, perhaps, Gods greatest creation. I've worked at a Veterinarian office/Doggy Day Care nearly 5 years, caring for all ages and sizes. I volunteer at the Sheriffs Animal Control Shelter in Supply. I believe dogs enrich the lives of the people around them. I've always been able to bond with dogs. A mutual trust has always come easy. They're all beautiful, and people could learn a lot from them. They make me laugh every day. Dogs will always be safe and happy with me watching over them. I wiil provide great companionship and a soft, warm touch while you're away. I guarantee that you will feel completely secure and confident with my abilities to maintain a safe, fun experience for your dog. Having someone you trust to care for your dog is invaluable. I will be that person. We love to be at home. Being on a walk or hanging outside is what we enjoy. I work at a doggy daycare and can fit pet care at home easily. Daily care of our dog is walking, feeding, brushing hair and teeth, love and cuddles, and of course playing games. We love to take our pebbles with us everywhere. We will give the same care to every dog we meet.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Carolina Shores
I knew immediately that Tonya was going to be an outstanding pet sitter! You can just tell when someone truly has a love for animals and I got that vibe from her right away. She took great care of our senior dog and communicated with us the entire time we were away. I highly recommend Tonya and will most definitely be booking her again in the future!
Atina did a fantastic job caring for my pup (Violet)! Loved the updates and photos/videos… made me feel at ease leaving her alone at the house for an extended time. Violet really seemed to connect with Atina and upon my return I didn’t have the usual ‘fatigued’ dog I get when I board her. The whole experience was 5 stars! Thank you very much for the attention you gave her.

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.
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 Shores 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!
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.

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 .
