“Amanda is all smiles! Really.loves dogs an welcomes them with treats:) my doggies were loved on and cared for so well. I appreciate her care for them an seeing the pics of them feeling at home.”
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.
“Steven and his family did a fantastic job caring for my pup! Walks, play and he even gave him a bath after a long day of play. Steven was very cordial, prompt and sent some pics throughout the day!”
“Samantha came in clutch with a last minute day care request! She is very responsive and sweet. Davey enjoyed his stay and we will definitely be rebooking again in the future.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and love them. You can count on me to give your pet all the love and attention they need. My job is fully work from home so I am available to watch dogs often with how much I’m home. I don’t have a pet of my own at the moment so love having one around! I have a house, yard and a nice neighbourhood for walks & play. Very dog friendly! I love going on walks with them. I’m also open to taking them to the beach if they like that!
“We dropped our 6 month old Bichon, Ragnar, for a short stay and he was well care for and he got along with their two dogs. I am pleased with how Carina Gabrielle is for our little man. We have no reservation with leaving Ragnar in Gabrielle's care.”
“Marcia is a wonderful dog sitter! She's my go to when I'm looking for someone to watch my dog! Extremely accommodating and communicative! Cannot recommend Marcia enough.”
About: Hi there :) I have lived with dogs my whole life! I have also worked to help train service dogs in the past and have been a Rover on and off for about 6 years. Now I have my own sweet little dachshund named Henry and we’re always happy to have a friend around! We live in a house with a big fenced in back yard and tons of space to play. I live with my husband and I have a job that allows me to work a remote, flexible schedule along with tons of availability on the weekends! I have a one story home with a fenced in backyard. I am familiar with crate training and have the space to do so. I am also welcoming to pets on couches and in my bed if that is preferred.
“Allie was wonderful! She has a great set up complete with fenced backyard and swimming pool. I loved that the pups in her care were closely monitored and friendly to my energetic, playful pup! I highly recommend and have my next visit booked already. Thanks, Allie!”
“Christa has been watching Kimber for a few weeks now and has been super accommodating with my hectic work schedule. She sends me photos of Kimber basking in the sun, playing with her dog and just enjoying not being home alone while I work. I would definitely recommend her.”
“Savannah is great! She went above and beyond to accommodate my fluctuating schedule while I was in town for family events. She was extremely kind and sensitive to Sunny's needs. He is an older dog, and needs medication and TLC. She sent updates and photos, always a reassuring thing! I would give her 10 stars if I could, and am very happy to have found her. I will absolutely use her again!”
About: We have been taking care of dogs since 2018! We are so enjoying it!! Hubby walks the dogs and I cuddle and play! It's a win win for your fur baby! For doggie day care we are available between 8 am and 6pm Monday through Friday. Would love long term . We do have one small dog. For boarding we are available both weekdays and weekends. We have a nice fenced-in backyard and my husband takes the dogs out for walks when possible! When that option isn't available,they have dedicated playtime in the yard.We have one dog that is not initially playful but takes a while to warm up but he does typically! I do require a meet and greet before committing and for pets to show proof of rabies shots,heartworm and flea and tic treatments. I work part time outside the home but my hubby works part time in the home so rarely are we both gone at the same time. I have a fenced in yard and my husband tries to walk our dog daily.Typically will hit the area walking trails. If necessary, he is willing to walk animals separately(older dog who can not walk as long or dogs who have health challenges)Our dog is aloof and takes a bit of time to adjust but usually does. We are attentive to this and supervise very closely until we see how things are going to be. We own both a large and small dog crate and can separate them if needed
About: I have many years of experience in rescuing, sitting, and rehabbing animals from domestic to wild. I love what I do and my children (ages 11-12) have been brought up the same way. They are very knowledgeable and passionate about all animals! While in my care, you can expect individualized compassionate care! I make sure your fur baby/s have fun, feel loved, safe and blend like one of the pack! They can roam free in our fenced in back or front yard, lounge on the screened in deck or cozy up on the couches inside with many plushy dog beds throughout our home. I don't crate unless requested so roaming through the house is just what they will do. Fully supervised of course! Our home is literally their home! I can also offer to help with anxiety, trauma and or sibling rivalry at no extra cost. It’s my passion to help animals :) I have lots of energy, free time and would love to give your pet/s every moment of the day! Your baby/s will feel right at home with all the love and attention received :) When it comes to pet sitting my kids (ages 11-12) and I are a full time team and we work together to make sure your baby/s are fully supervised, entertained, and even spoiled! We have a big fenced back and front yard, a screened in deck, lounge areas throughout the house, grain free kibbles, home made treats, filtered water, plushy beds and secured home with cameras and security system.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Holly Ridge commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog, 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, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 329 sitters in Holly Ridge, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
