“Debbie was absolutely lovely. She took great care of my pups while we were out of town. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better! We video called ahead of time to go over the routine and she checked in with me while she was checking in on the pups. Have us absolute peace of mind! 10/10”
“It was difficult leaving my babies, but with Lee she reassured us and she was huge help! She followed our difficult instructions, and kept us updated with pictures and texts. Definitely be using her again.”

“This is the second time Marie has watched our two fur babies! She was absolutely amazing! She sent us lots of photos and made sure we were comfortable and updated us often! I highly recommend her for anyone that’s looking for a sitter who truly cares and wants to make sure your pet is comfortable, loved, and cared for. Thank you, Marie. We appreciate you so much!”
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!
“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!”
About: I’ve owned large dogs my whole life and this struck a passion in me earlier on to get into the hobby of dog training. I got so good that people even began to ask me to help train their new puppies. Additionally, I also ran my own dog walking business throughout the last 4 years and now that I am graduated I would love to continue working with dogs while I save money for college! Currently, I am free all day every day until I start college in the spring. This leaves me with a completely open availability to help care for your beloved pets! I will follow the instructions given to me by each pet owner exactly as they would like. I treat each pup and kitty with kindness and patience always. With my dogs they are spoiled with lots of walks, treats, and lots of fetch to help them get out their energy and if your pup has some extra energy i’d love to play with them until they are content and tired out! I always make sure to message each pet owner when I arrive and when I leave to make sure they know their fur baby is in good hands!
“Christian did a great job! He was always on time, gave detailed reports, and updated me with pictures with each visit. My dog loves him! I will definitely be calling on Christian again whenever I need him!”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats for most of my life and have years of hands-on experience loving and caring for them. My pets are family, and I’ll treat yours the same way—with patience, attention, affection, and lots of love. Whether I’m stopping in for a visit or taking your dog for a walk, their safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my priority. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and will do my best to accommodate the times that work best for you. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’m experienced with both large and small dogs as well as cats, and I’ll carefully follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine. I understand that you’re trusting me with both your pet and your home, and I’ll treat both with care and respect.
“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 Pet Sitting in Carolina Shores on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 660 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
