“Jessica was wonderful!!! She met with us and our dogs before we left town. One of our dogs has anxiety, but felt very comfortable with her. She was very good about making sure our older dog got the meds he needed, even when he was obstinate about it. We will definitely use Jessica in the future.”
“Absolutely amazing sitter! Professional, kind, and my two cats LOVED her. Each visit she’d write a great update, with photos of the scooped litter boxes, cats being fed, and automatic feeder/water fountain plugged in. We had absolute peace of mind knowing our cats were well taken care of. Will 100% book again in the future!”
About: I've always had a deep love for animals of all shapes and sizes. This has led me to manage my own small farm. This experience has given me the opportunity in pet care. I'm used to the high-level responsibility of keeping diverse animals healthy, happy, and safe. Ready to fill summer spots. Book your vacation times now for June thru Aug. I'm currently working at an elementary school so can only provide care in the evenings at this time, and anytime weekends. Full open schedule beginning June 12. When caring for your pets in their own home, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I also provide daily photo updates if you would like.
“Lizzy is great! She took great care of our kitties again while we were on vacation. I appreciated her thoughtful updates daily letting me know how our cats were doing. She even noticed a small scratch near my cats eye and monitored it daily to make sure it didn’t get worse. She is very attentive and reliable.”
About: Experience: With over 20 years of hands on experience caring for dogs, I treat every pet like family. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra patience and care. I love staying active with dogs through walks, playtime, and enrichment, but I’m just as happy giving extra cuddles and companionship to those who need a slower pace. My goal is always to make your pet feel happy, secure, and loved just like they would at home. Why choose me? I’m dependable, communicative, and genuinely love what I do. I provide updates, photos, and peace of mind so you always know your pet is in great hands. You can trust that your dog will be safe, happy, and well cared for every step of the way. I currently have full availability, which allows me to give your pets plenty of time, attention, and care. I’m available for drop ins, walks, and boarding throughout the week, including weekends. I’m very flexible and can easily follow your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress free. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fenced yard and a safe, pet friendly home. I can accommodate crates if needed and always follow your pet’s routine closely. My two friendly dogs are well socialized, but I can easily separate pets if preferred. With my background in education and psychology, I’m highly attentive to behavior and individual needs, creating a calm, structured, and loving environment. I also provide regular updates and photos so you always have peace of mind.
“Ally was great! She rolled with the punches my crew threw at her and communicated everyday with the happenings. I appreciated her attentiveness and patience winning over my shy pup! Will definitely request her again for my future trips.”
“Leah was absolutely amazing! She spent 45 mins getting to know our 3 pups and myself during our meet and greet and I instantly knew that she was going to give them so much love. We have 2,4,and 8 yr old dogs. She gave them lots of love and attention and checked in frequently with us. The pictures were some of the cutest we’ve seen of them. The updates were extra detailed and she even helped out with our trash bins which we’d forgotten when leaving out of town. We will definitely rebook Leah any time we head out of town!”
“Abby was great! She was very responsive to a last minute booking request and helped us out in a pinch. She was great at communicating and sending pictures. The whole process was easy and comfortable, we will definitely book again if we need a sitter!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for animals of all sizes and species — from playful puppies and senior pets to cats, small mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and livestock. I’m Fear Free certified and trained in preventative care, nutrition, feline urinary health, and exotic & small mammal care. I also hold a Wildlife Rehabilitation Apprentice License (any wildlife I care for with never be in the house and your fur babies will never be exposed to them) I’m confident in safe handling, administering medications (oral, topical, and insulin), and caring for pets with medical needs, anxiety, or special requirements. I offer grooming services (no cuts) and like to send pets home with clean food and water bowls and fresh bedding. Whether your pet is shy, energetic, or needs extra cuddles, my goal is always the same: to keep them safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. Clear communication is a priority, and I’m always happy to answer questions and tailor care to your pet’s unique needs. Bonus: - I also have military base access! - Drop ins on week days I'm available 1700-2200 (5pm-10pm) - Drop In’s on the weekend I'm available 0800-2200 (8am-10pm) I am currently available all the time as I am a stay at home mom. I also love working with animals in or outside a clinical setting. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities — whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours. I create a calm, structured environment and tailor my approach to each animal’s needs, personality, and routine. When Pets Stay in My Home: - Safe, supervised environment: I keep a clean, pet-friendly home with secure areas for play, rest, and meals. Pets are never left unsupervised with unfamiliar animals. - Separate spaces if needed: If a pet is shy, anxious, or prefers their own space, I can safely separate them from others while still giving them plenty of attention and enrichment. - Clear safety plans: If I’m hosting more than one family at a time and any pet shows signs of stress or aggression, I follow a structured safety plan and communicate everything with you. - Fosters kept separate: I occasionally foster kittens or puppies, but they are always fully vetted and housed in a completely separate, contained area away from guest pets. - Comfort & routine: Pets have access to soft bedding, fresh water at all times, and plenty of affection, enrichment, and potty breaks. When I Care for Pets in Your Home: - Respecting your home and routine: I follow your instructions exactly — feeding schedules, medication routines, walk preferences, crate habits, and household rules. - Low-stress handling: I use Fear Free techniques to help pets feel relaxed, especially those who are nervous or slow to warm up. - Consistency: I keep pets on their normal routine to reduce stress and maintain a familiar environment. Experience You Can Trust: - I’m trained in safe animal handling, medication administration (oral, topical, and insulin), recognizing signs of stress or illness, and caring for dogs, cats, small mammals, and livestock. - I ask plenty of questions up front so I can fully understand your pet’s needs and keep them safe and comfortable. - I believe communication is key — you’ll receive honest updates, photos, and messages so you always feel connected.
“Stacie handled my dog with such love and care! He wasn’t feeling well when I left for my trip and she quite literally nursed him back to health. He takes a little bit to open up to strangers and she was extremely patient and gracious with him. I came back to a clean and happy little guy. Definitely the best I could have hoped for!”
“Angela has been wonderful looking after my kitties for me a couple of times while I’ve been away. They’re pretty low maintenance but she has taken extra care to let my timid kitty come out for a hello and a bit of extra encouragement with eating, which can lessen when I’m away. The updates and photos are always much appreciated!”
About: I’ve cared for pets for several years and know how much they mean to their families. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or just keeping them company, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while their owner is away. I have experience with both cats and dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a gentler touch. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, litter box/house training, giving medications, and tailoring care to each pet’s personality. My goal is to treat every furry friend like my own—providing dependable care, plenty of attention, and a lot of love so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I am not working so I have time to walk, play & spend time with your furry bestie! I’m available most days mid morning & afternoon. I have been caring for our dog & cat since 2013. We have lived in many, many homes & I have helped them adapt to their surroundings. I can aid in crate training your dog at home, going on long walks, giving extra cuddles & love so while you’re away you can have peace of mind.
About: With 16 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds and temperaments, I’ve developed a deep understanding of their needs, behaviors, and well-being. My experience includes everything from daily walks and feeding to administering medication, grooming, and providing loving companionship. I recently left my career as a mental health therapist to homeschool my child. He has a huge passion for animals, and in addition to our pup at home, we both would like more experiences taking care of and being around other animals. We have time out in the community built into his school schedule each day where checking-in or dog walking would fit in nicely. I will work to build rapport and get to know your pet’s behaviors, routines and any special needs. I’ll strictly adhere to your guidelines for feeding, exercise and any special care needed. I’ll be sure to keep your home secure by locking doors and securing gates to ensure the safety of your pet and home. I’ll treat your home with care and communicate with you regularly. I’m highly observant and will watch for any signs of illness or distress in your pet and will address them and reach out to you promptly.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Holly Ridge
Jessica was amazing! She sent lots of photos and updates throughout our trip, and seeing how happy and comfortable my cat looked gave me so much peace of mind. She was always quick to respond, easy to communicate with, and took great care of my cat. I would absolutely book with her again!
Michele took such wonderful care of our cat, Oscar, while we were away! She was attentive, reliable, and kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us total peace of mind. Oscar can sometimes be shy, but he warmed right up and we came home to a happy, relaxed cat! We will definitely be booking with Michele again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!
Kasey is a gem we happened to find here on Rover and we are so pleased with her drop-in visit service we used for our male cat. She perfectly delivered what we asked her to do with/for him and it was just above and beyond our expectations! We wish we knew her sooner because we are moving out of the country, but we are going to use her service again very soon. We recommend her 100%!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Holly Ridge on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Holly Ridge. On Rover:

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.
