About: I’ve taken care of my own personal pets as well as I worked at a kennel. My duties there included feeding and watering. Cleaning g out their crates and most of all loving on them every chance I got. I am home full time. So that I can focus one hundred percent on the dogs I care for and all their needs. I truly enjoy these little furry friends No fenced yard but I take the dogs out on a leash and walk them at least 3 times a day. I feed my dog twice a day.
About: I have over 30 years experience taking care of dogs and will provide the love and care they need in their new "home away from home". I have a whole house generator so in case of storms, there will be no interruption in service. I am a very active individual and typically walk at least 3-5 miles per day with my little toy fox terrier. I am a nature lover and frequent the area's hiking trails and love to get out on the beach. I prepare my dog's meals using all natural ingredients (whole foods) and make a very healthy bone broth and organic barley. With parental permission I can use this as topper for your dog's kibble. I am a retired school teacher and am available year round. I am basically home all the time when I am not out on the nature trails. I would prefer sitting for dogs that weigh 30 pounds or less. Your fur baby will receive the love and attention it deserves from Caring Karen. I am a retired school teacher and when I am not out on the nature trails walking dogs, I am at home cooking or gardening. Your dog will receive lots of love and attention from Caring Karen. I have a fenced-in side yard and a gated back deck. My house is set back on a wooded lot with lots of shade. I live in a very quiet and safe neighborhood on a private road that is a dead-end. I know most of my neighbors and this is my forever home.

About: Updated: 09/04/2025 I’ve always owned multiple pets and have taken care of neighbor’s pets since I was 11. I’ve been working on and off through rover for about 8 years now but have much more experience pet sitting aside from rover (if you’re wondering why there are only a few recorded sits on my profile). If your animal needs special care such as medication, diaper/pad changing, extra exercise, etc, it’s no hassle at all on my end and I’m experienced with all of these and more! I’m comfortable sitting any animal and I’m comfortable with pet/house sitting that requires me to stay over at the house or visit the house. I completely understand any requirements that ensure the pet’s comfort or your peace of mind :) Feel free to ask me any questions! I care for pets in my own home which gives me more insight to both caring for the pet and understanding the perspective of an owner. This also unfortunately means I can’t board pets at my own house. I live in a house with a dog and a cat and I prioritize their comfort so I don’t want to board other pets in my home with them.
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child my experience in pets is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. i am currently now in college but I have an early release so I'll have enough time to take care of your pet in home . l always try to established a routine, including feeding times, medication schedules, and potty brakes i check the pet's behavior and well being, reporting any concerns to the owner if needed
“Lee is awesome!! I had an emergency and was in a pinch and Lee was an absolute lifesaver! She was so sweet to Peppeemint and sent a detailed report of their adventure! Could not thank and recommend Lee enough!”

About: Experienced, compassionate pet care based in Sunset Beach. With nearly a decade of hands-on experience, I have cared for a wide range of animals including dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, small mammals (hamsters, guinea pigs, etc), and even farm animals. No pet is too big or too small—I genuinely love them all! I bring nearly a decade of hands-on pet care experience and currently work as a veterinary technician. I am experienced working with dogs of all sizes—from tiny puppies to 100+ lb adults and seniors—and I am comfortable administering medications and caring for pets with special medical needs. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your pets are being treated with the same love and attention I give my own. What You Can Expect: - A knowledgeable, trustworthy sitter with veterinary experience - Personalized care tailored to your pet’s routine and needs - Dog walks & drop-in visits: photo/video updates, mail and package collection, and plant watering upon request - Pet & house sitting: mail/packages brought in, plants watered, and light household tasks if requested (additional fees may apply), ensuring you return to a happy pet and a well-kept home For the best experience, I prefer a meet-and-greet prior to bookings so I can meet you and your pets and learn their routine. This is required for pets that may be timid with strangers. Availability: I work full-time as a veterinary technician but am available Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, with additional midday visits possible within 6–7 miles of my workplace during my lunch break. If you’re looking for experienced, dependable, and professional pet care, I would love to help. Please feel free to reach out with any questions! This is my only job at the moment, so I have a very flexible schedule to help you out with your babies, big or small! *NO AGGRESSIVE ANIMALS* I will not look after any animal who may bite, and/or has bitten in the past. That is for my own safety, as well as keeping the animal out of stressful situations. This is also why I HIGHLY suggest a meeting before the service begins; for the pet(s) to meet me, and see if it will be a good match for everyone involved. I do not have any breed restrictions! All breeds are welcome! (Snakes/reptiles do not count towards this policy; I can take care of snakes/reptiles, knowing the possibility of a bite. I have had 3 snakes of my own, as well as plenty of experience taking care of & handling them when working at pet stores for over 5 years.)

Please feel free to contact me, when my service's are needed and to make your life easier and to know, you will have nothing to worry about, when it come's to your babies. I have relocated to the Calabash area and have such a Love for animals, that I decided to take it on full time. I want to focus all of my time on the care of animals and retire from the medical field, which I was doing for over 20 years. I will walk, feed, administer any medications and take care of any pet as an owner wishes. I have all the time in the world now.
About: I’ve been trusted to take care of others dogs and cats since I was 14 (walk, feed, bathe). I am open to any breed. I also work with both dogs and cats. I also have some experience with reptiles, as I have a bearded dragon of my own. I started Rover because I have 5 fur babies myself and I understand it can be stressful to leave your babies in the care of someone else, but I hope to make that worry free for you. I will love and care for your fur babies as if they were my own. I currently have a very flexible schedule so have plenty of time to play with your pups and kitties! I am pretty much available anytime! I am very attentive to my animals diets and needs so I will be just the same for your fur babies. I have experience with animals ages ranging from 9 weeks old to 15 years old. I have a lot of time to give to your babies and would love to care and play with them!
Carolina Shores dog parents share their Rover experiences
Mykiah was such a big help with my senior dog, Josie. She provided excellent care and a much needed outdoor walk for Josie. Mykiah followed through perfectly with instructions specific to Josie's care. Also, Mykiah was proactive in keeping me up to date on Josie's care through messages and photos. I highly recommend her and hope to have the opportunity to work with her again.
