“Dace took care of our cat when we were out of town for a few days. She was prompt, spent plenty of time with our cat, and sent really cute pictures. Our cat isn’t the friendliest gal but Dace was able to earn her trust and she is a fantastic fit. Highly recommend Dace to take care of your fur babies. She’s awesome!!”

“Delaney was absolutely AMAZING! At the last minute I had a sitter cancel the day before I was supposed to leave for a trip and Delaney without hesitation was willing to help. She was very accommodating around my schedule to make time to meet Ivory beforehand. She provided very thorough updates and was very caring towards ivory the entire time! I 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’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, ages and temperaments, including puppies, seniors, high-energy dogs, shy or anxious dogs, and dogs with behavioral or reactivity concerns. 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. I offer flexible availability for dog walks, drop-in visits and overnight house sitting, including weekdays and weekends. Because this is what I do professionally, I’m able to give each pet reliable, attentive care while maintaining their normal routine. I care for each pet according to their normal routine and the instructions provided by their owner. With years of professional dog training and pet care experience, safety is always my priority. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes, ages, temperaments and energy levels, and I’m comfortable managing multi-pet homes. I provide attentive, reliable care while respecting your home and keeping you updated throughout each visit or stay.

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.

I am so lucky to have found Dace! I had a work trip which is the longest I have been away from my special needs cat, Wolf, who has seizures. Dace is a wonderful and caring petsitter who took great care of Wolf. My nerves were eased knowing he was in good hands. She checked on him 3 times a day, administered his seizure meds, gave food/snacks/etc, and sent photos with updates. I will definitely book with Dace again in the future and I highly recommend her if you need a caring and reliable pet sitter! Thank you so much for taking such great care of my Wolf!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Holden Beach on Rover is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 per visit. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 723 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Holden Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. 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.

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 Holden Beach. On Rover:

  • 96% 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.

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
