“Suzanne and her husband took great care of our pup, even as he became ill. How much she cares is truly uncommon and so appreciated. I want to note how she even took care of our home, cleaning up after the sick pup. Maury looks forward to the next time Suzanne is coming over for a walk!”
About: Hi! I’m Carrie, and I’m a lifelong animal lover who understands that pets are family. As a Navy retiree, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive, reliable care and plenty of one-on-one time with your pet. Whether your furry friend needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm and caring companion while you’re away, I’ll treat them as if they were my own. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you complete peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! Since my kids are pretty grown now, it seems my life revolves around my animals. I am active, so I love to take the pups for walks or hikes (depending on weather). The cats sort of do their own thing, but I’m always down for cat snugs. Our home does allow animals to have free roam. They are allowed in all rooms and on furniture. If your babies are not good with cats, we will not be able to take them. We will give them all the love while you are away and send your photos as much (or as little) as you would like. In your home I will respect all your rules. If you don’t want them on furniture or particular rooms, just let me know and we will follow those guidelines. The love and photo sending mentioned above applies here!
About: As a down-to-earth pet sitter and owner myself, I’ve been caring for pets since I was 11, giving me over a decade of hands-on experience. I treat every pet like family, ensuring they receive personalized attention, love, and care while you're away. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priority. I work Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:00-4:30, have morning and full evening as well as full weekend availability as I am typically in the area. I have one 4 year old lab myself who I typically walk in the evenings and would be happy to add another furry friend to my daily routine. I will treat your pet and your home as you would if you were there, adhering to the guidelines and requests that are laid out upon hire. This includes cleaning up after your pet, ensuring a comfortable environment for them, and allowing you to return to everything being as it was left upon your departure.
“We love Emma! She is a kind soul and very gentle and caring with Rae. She takes time to love on her and talk to her as well as even work with her building bonds through training. We feel very blessed that we found her!”
About: I’ve spent time with all kinds of animals, senior dogs and cats who move a little slower, horses who think they’re in charge, and even ducks, hamsters, and turtles. I pay attention to what each pet needs, whether that’s a gentle walk, some extra cuddles, or just hanging out quietly together. I like getting to know their little quirks and making sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away!! I work full-time, but I’m typically available for lunch visits, evenings, and most weekends. I can often accommodate morning visits as well. While my schedule can occasionally vary, I communicate clearly and prioritize reliability. I follow each pet’s routine closely, keep feeding areas clean, and ensure your home is secure. I provide updates and photos for peace of mind.
“Took amazing care of our pup while we were away! She leaves such thoughtful, detailed messages for us to hear about how our dog has been doing. We appreciated her kindness and support for our anxious dog too”
“When I moved to town, Holly took care of my dog right away and every day I was at work. I haven't used another sitter since - Holly is a quick and consistent communicator, always willing to help, very kind, and is patient with my often crazy schedule. I highly recommend contacting Holly for your pet's needs ?”

If keeping your dog with us, can provide bathing.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Holly Ridge on Rover is $16.65 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,247 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Holly Ridge. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Holly Ridge. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Holly Ridge.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Holly Ridge. On Rover:
- 97% of walkers 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
