“We are so grateful that Marilyn took care of our two dogs while we were away for two weeks. She sent to us pictures every day, updated us on their behaviors and even facilitated new medication for one of our dogs. I can’t recommend her more highly. She’s trustworthy and a loving caregiver for our pets. We will be using her again.”
“It was our first time using Rover and more importantly, King’s first time having a sitter. He’s usually shy and gets anxious with strangers. But when Kayla showed up, he went directly to her and allowed her to pet him! It was an instant connection. Kayla sent pictures throughout the night and we appreciate that. She made us feel comfortable leaving King and we are so appreciative of her.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and even a pet lizard. Being around animals has always brought me joy, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with love, patience, and attention. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or companionship, my goal is to help your pet feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away! Pet care fits really well into my weekly routine! It is something that I genuinely love doing and am very passionate about. My schedule is incredibly flexible which allows me to be available for walks, drop-ins, and other care throughout the week as needed. I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. I follow their normal routines and pay close attention to their needs so they feel relaxed and at ease. I’m careful during walks and visits, and I always make sure pets are supervised and secure. My goal is to build trust with both pets and owners so you feel confident and worry-free while you’re away.
“Jo was fantastic she kept us updated throughout her stay at our house and we came home to a happy dog and happy home. She took great care of out dog "Cashew" and gave him all the attention any dog could need and the fun pictures she sent kept us feeling good during our trip. I highly recommend using Jo and will be using her services again in the future.”
“Brooklyn was excellent with our pups and bird. She was attentive to their needs and provided daily updates and pictures. She accommodated our early return for an emergency. Would not hesitate to use her again. Thank you”

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: Hi! I’m Danielle, a stay-at-home mom to our beautiful baby girl. Before parenthood, I worked at a veterinary clinic specializing in fear-free handling, surgeries, emergencies, grooming, and advanced medicine—giving me hands-on experience with all kinds of animals, from dogs and cats to reptiles, small mammals, birds, and aquatics. We recently said goodbye to our beloved dog after a battle with cancer, and the quiet house has me excited to open my schedule for caregiving. With my vet background and a passion for compassionate care, I provide a loving, low-stress experience tailored to each pet’s needs. As a full-time mom, I’m home during the day to offer plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and enrichment. I prioritize meet-and-greets (completely free!) to ensure we’re a great match for you and your pet before any booking. Whether your dog needs medication support, post-surgery monitoring, or just lots of cuddles and fun, I’d love to care for them like family. Feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! I work from home, therefore I am free 24-7 to help take care of your animals and help meet your needs while they are in my care. As of now- we only own cats. We recently lost our dog to cancer. I believe animals thrive best in a structured environment. We keep a consistent schedule for our pets, feeding, play time and whatnot. I do ask that your pet is friendly with children.
“Robert did a great job in taking care of Patsy. He took her for a walk and stayed with her while my wife and I went to dinner. I strongly recommend his services.”
“Overall, WONDERFUL experience! We had a last minute day trip up to the mountains for a graduation and she was able to watch our pup for the day. Great communication and no worries about how our little Leia was treated. I highly recommend her for any upcoming bookings you need!”
About: I’ve had my dog Chloe since she was a pup, I’ve crate trained her, she knows how to sit, shake, and speak when given a treat. I work full time but willing to work around my work schedule and my days off to take care of your fur baby to feed, walk, potty breaks. I care for my pets with lots of play time, cuddles, love and attention, walks in the neighborhood. I make sure I follow their routine schedule if they have one.
About: Have grown up with pups-German Shepherds, Great Dane and Bichon! Not all at once thou! Would love to help you take care of your pup! I have a part time job but it’s fairly flexible! What are your needs? I help friends and family out when they need pet care-now that I am semi-retired-thinking it can help pay some bills! I have an elevator building so walking your pup is no issue! I also don’t mind enjoying my coffee at your house-while I keep on eye on your furry friend!
“Stacey was amazing with my boxer, Piper! She is so sweet, very informative, and extremely reliable. She sent regular updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind on my long trip, and she even continued checking on Piper after the visit. It’s clear she genuinely cares about her pets, and I would absolutely book with her again!”
About: I have always had animals in my life there isn't an animal I can't take care for or love. I am good on following orders you give me so I can properly care for each an individual pet with the needs that they need. I balance my schedule to ensure that my part-time pet sitting hours are entirely open, active, and focused on maintaining your puppy's essential potty and feeding routines. I treat your home with the utmost respect while delivering dedicated care, ensuring your puppy stays safe, well exercised and happy in their own comfortable and familiar environment. If you want to check in jus call or FaceTime at any time.
“This was our first time using Rover and we’re a bit hesitant to give it a try. We found Kelsey who had great reviews and upon meeting her in person, felt comfortable to move forward with booking her for a 5 night stay in our home watching our golden retriever. Kelsey was fantastic! She did an amazing job keeping an eye on our home but must importantly, taking care of our dog. She provided daily updates and her communication was always prompt. Highly recommend Kelsey and we will definitely be using her again!”
“Allen was great! I needed a last minute sitter and Allen was the perfect choice. Great communication and put up with my silly dogs with no complaints. Left my house in great condition. I look forward to having him stay with my beasties again. Thank you so much! 💜”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and genuinely love caring for them. I grew up in a homeschooled household with a dog and three cats, so being hands-on with pet care was just part of everyday life. As a kid, I was known around my neighborhood for walking dogs, pet sitting, and helping out wherever I could—even mowing lawns for neighbors—so responsibility and reliability were instilled in me early on. I also spent time working on an alpaca farm, which gave me experience caring for animals with different needs and personalities. In my adult life, I regularly help care for my sister’s three dogs, and since she’s a veterinarian, I’ve learned a lot about animal behavior, health, and proper care through her. I’m also very involved with my two nephews, so patience and attentiveness come naturally to me. One of the most meaningful experiences I’ve had was caring for our family dog, Toby, in his later years. As the youngest, it became my responsibility to make sure he was comfortable, safe, and well cared for as he aged. He lived to be 16, and that experience taught me a lot about compassion, consistency, and the importance of attentive care. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I already structure my days around being consistent, active, and attentive. I’m used to building my schedule around responsibilities, so walks, feeding times, and check-ins feel like a natural part of my day rather than something extra. On a weekly basis, I regularly help care for my sister’s dogs, so I’m already in the rhythm of walking, feeding, and spending quality time with pets. I also keep a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the time, attention, and care they need without rushing. Overall, I enjoy having pet care as part of my routine—it keeps me active, present, and doing something I genuinely enjoy. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions carefully—feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any specific preferences—so your pet feels safe and stress-free in their own environment. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship, not just the basics. If I’m caring for a pet in my home, I provide a clean, calm, and safe environment where they can relax. I keep a consistent schedule for feeding, walks, and bathroom breaks, and I’m always attentive to their behavior and needs. I make sure they feel included and comfortable, whether that means active play or just relaxing nearby. No matter the setting, my priority is making sure each pet feels secure, cared for, and happy while you’re away.

FAQs for House Sitting - Holden Beach
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Holden Beach on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 406 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Holden Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Holden Beach walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Holden Beach maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Holden Beach 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Holden Beach. On Rover:
- 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% 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.
