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. I am not currently working anywhere else, so I can spend plenty of time loving on and caring for your pet as of right now! I am happy to accommodate any needs your pet requires to feel safe and comfortable! Whatever their eating, sleeping, and walking routine is, I will make sure to keep intact!

About: I have be around animals since I was four. From play vet with them to training them all the way to having them help me in therapy settings. Animals will give us signs when they are stressed that can be very subtle and we often miss these signs. My years of experience works with watching for signs and respecting what your pet is saying. Animals are my passion. I build my own schedule. So if the animal needs care at specific times I have the availability to work them into my daily routine. With respect and care. Meet and greets as well before starting services. Our animals deserve the best attention and care to help them feel safe and connected.

About: I’ve spent over 15 years caring for animals ranging from household pets to farm animals. I’m patient, observant, and genuinely love building trust with shy or high energy pets. Safety, routine, and communication are my priorities. I currently work part-time as a server around 25–30 hours a week, which gives me plenty of time to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets. I’m flexible with scheduling and can make sure your pets receive the attention, exercise, playtime, feeding, and affection they need throughout the day. I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I closely follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise needs, and routines to reduce stress. I pay attention to behavior changes, keep spaces clean and secure, and make sure every pet receives patience, affection, supervision, and personalized care while their owner is away.

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.

About: I have been taking care of cats and dogs since about the age of 12. Growing up I would help look after my family, friends and neighbors animals when needed. I would help watch over the pets, feed them, take them on walks, and play with them for as long as needed! I am currently unemployed so I am available at any time of the day any day! I travel occasionally but that will always be communicated. The dog will always be my first priority! When taking dogs on walks I will make sure to always be aware of my surroundings. I will also make sure to not approach other animals to ensure the safety of both pets!

CAROLINA SHOR, NC, 28467

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.

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.

My nickname for Abigail is "Dr. Doolittle" because she is absolutely fantastic and has an amazingly uncanny way with animals! On very short notice I booked her to look after my 4 dogs, one rabbit and 3 fish and she took it all on with complete ease and professionalism. I was most worried about my oldest dog Cheech who is a 15 year old rescue with serious trust issues with people in general. Within a day Abigail had him approaching her for pets (basically unheard of for him with strangers) and by the end of her time with him he was allowing her to give him full body cuddles. An absolutely stunning show of trust with her! As for the other 3 pups...they could not get enough tummy rubs, cuddles, kisses and attention from their new friend Abigail and her little daughter Dakota (also an animal lover)! All four pups and the bunny were spoiled rotten with attention and love for the 4 days I was out of town. In addition, she went out of her way to cook up some chicken I had purchased as a treat for the dogs but had not had time to get to before I left. She took it home, cooked it up, and brought it to the pups so they could have their favorite topping on their daily meals with her...she genuinely cares that the animals she is looking after feel safe and secure and loved even though their owner is away! Abigail sent photos and updates during the whole weekend which really put my mind at ease that my herd was behaving themselves and having a ball in the process! I cannot recommend Abigail enough and so look forward to treating my little menagerie to her excellent care in the future!

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Carolina Shores on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 645 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Carolina Shores. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Carolina Shores stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Carolina Shores with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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

  • 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.

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.
