“I had an amazing experience with ceci! She was able to accommodate my two golden retrievers very last minute, which I truly appreciated. My boys had such a great time with her and came back happy and well cared for. She communicates effectively and clearly, which gave me peace of mind throughout the whole process. It’s obvious she treats your pets like her own. I would definitely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!”

About: Hello, my name is Faith. I’ve been pet-sitting for 12 years and absolutely love all types of animals, both big and small. I have experience taking care of and walking all types of dogs and cats. Not only do I provide a great service for them, I also provide the love and affection that the owner would give if they were present. I work from home so am available to the animals all day. My neighborhood has lots of walking trails that I’d love to enjoy with your pup. We also have a dog park nearby that I love to take my own dog to that I can take your pup to (with parents permission of course!). I am happy to accommodate special requests. I even have grooming / bathing experience from my own pup as well. My goal is for you, the pet owner, to enjoy your time away and have the rest taken care of for your fur baby. With two pets of my own, I understand how important this is to pet owners. If you have any questions about my services, please don’t hesitate to reach out and ask. I work from home - so I am home all day every day to care for your pet. This helps me be extra flexible and to meet your pets need. Also, they will never be lonely! I have a large indoor space for your pet, pet beds, toys, treats and whatever your pet desires! Your pet will be safe, cared for and loved while in my care.

“Cat was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of our dogs and kept us updated, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She’s reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. We had a few changes and special requests and she was beyond accommodating. We’ll definitely be booking with her again! Having her care for dogs felt like having an old friend of family member come by. I highly recommend!”

About: I’ve loved animals my entire life and have more than 15 years of experience caring for dogs through pet ownership, fostering, volunteering in shelters, and caring for other people’s pets. I currently have two Chihuahuas of my own, Tinky and Teddy, so I’m especially comfortable with small dogs, puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with big personalities! I understand that every dog has their own routine, temperament, and comfort level. I’m patient with shy or anxious dogs and happy to follow your instructions regarding meals, walks, medications, crate time, and sleeping arrangements. Your dog will receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and regular updates while in my care. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone new, and I want you to feel confident that your baby is safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. I work remotely, which allows me to be home throughout the day and provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship. I’m available for boarding, drop-in visits, and walks, including many evenings and weekends. Because I have two dogs of my own, pet care is already part of my daily routine. I’m happy to adjust that routine based on your dog’s normal schedule and individual needs. I also enjoy taking relaxed neighborhood walks and spending plenty of time snuggling at home. I live in a clean, comfortable apartment in Surf City with my two small dogs. Visiting pets are always supervised, kept leashed outside, and given a calm space where they can settle in and feel comfortable. I can keep pets separated when needed for meals, rest, or a slower introduction. Before boarding, I’d love to learn about your pet’s personality, routine, triggers, medical needs, and how they typically interact with other dogs. A meet-and-greet is always welcome so we can make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I will treat your pet with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own.

“Thank you so much Tessa! She did a great job taking care of my two cats and I could trust that they were in good hands. She brought in packages that came while we were gone and even left treats for both kitties even though they hid most of the time. I definitely will rebook in the future!💜”

About: I previously worked at Allen Veterinary Clinic in Texas earning my Vet Tech Certification and am currently enrolled in online college after leaving the Marine Corps. Dogs and cats have been my speciality but I love all animals. I am currently a stay at home parent enrolled in online school. I am available in the early morning and late afternoons but am flexible. Please note that I will have my toddler with me for all bookings. I treat all animals as though they were my own and then some. Animals have funny personalities and each unique in their own way, I do my best to honor their likes and dislikes as well as yours!

About: Hey there! I’ve been around animals my entire life and genuinely love hanging out with them. What sets me apart is that I really understand senior dogs. I’ve had my own dog since I was 6 years old, he’s 13 now and a total old man. I know exactly how to be patient with slow walks, keeping close eye, and extra attention . I also have two cats that I’ve loved and cared for over the last three years, so your kitty will be in great hands, too.I’m super attentive, loving, and will treat your fur babies just like my own! Right now, pet care is my main focus, so my schedule is wide open! Since I don’t have school or a job at the moment, I’m home most of the day and have total flexibility. This means I can give your pet my full attention, stick perfectly to their usual feeding and walk routines, and keep them company whenever they need it. Safety is my number one priority. When I'm in a client's home or mine, I always double-check that doors and gates are securely locked, keep an eye out for anything a pet shouldn't chew on, and strictly follow the owner's house rules. On walks, I keep dogs on a secure leash and stay aware of our surroundings. I also know how to give pets their space if they need it, ensuring they always feel safe and comfortable with me.

About: I grew up around animals of all kinds, but find myself most comfortable with dogs and cats. I have two dogs and three cats currently, two of the five being seniors. I enjoy catering to my furry friends and would love to help yours! I’m a stay at home pet mom after sustaining a leg injury in March so I have a very flexible schedule and am looking to fill my free time helping people by assisting them in caring for their pets. My yard is fenced in for my senior husky and senior Yorkshire Terrier. My dogs are also crate trained so I am familiar with crating animals and following schedules. Both my dogs and cats are on a feeding schedule which I strictly follow. I am familiar with routine and prioritize safety and comfort.

About: I have grown up surrounded by animals and have experience caring for dogs and cats for neighbors and friends. I have a calm demeanor and want to make sure your furry family member is well taken care of, whether they are active and need lots of walks and playtime or are lazy and need some peace and quiet. Whatever your fur baby needs I am ready to care for them! I have an open schedule this summer and can care for animals any time of day. I am located in hampstead/surf city and can visit your pet multiple times a day as long as the commute isn’t too long. I have one dog in my home who is gentle and a bit shy but will be ready to play with your pet if they are wanting to interact but she is not one to hound other animals. I have an unfenced yard and live in a nice neighborhood that’s perfect for long walks if your pet stays at my home. If I come to your home I will let your pet slowly warm up to me and then provide them with walks/playtime/ whatever you recommend to make sure they are happy!

About: I work from home, so your pup gets constant care and company. I have experience with both playful puppies and gentle senior dogs, tailoring my care to their needs. Plus, our friendly dog makes every guest feel right at home! I’m able to give pets attention, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day. Morning and evening walks, yard play sessions, and plenty of snuggles are built right into my routine—so your pet will feel loved and cared for every moment they’re here. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, comfortable environment with a fully fenced yard for outdoor time and plenty of supervised play. I follow each pet’s usual routine for feeding, walks, and rest to help them feel at home. They get lots of attention, exercise, and snuggles—plus playtime with our friendly dog if they’re social. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with respect and stick to the same schedule, rules, and routines their pet is used to. My goal is always to keep them happy, healthy, and stress-free while you’re away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Holly Ridge on Rover is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $27 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 1,273 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Holly Ridge. 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.

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 Holly Ridge 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!

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 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 .

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Holly Ridge with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

  • 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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.

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.
