Suzanne did such a great job with visiting my dog Jasper. She was thorough and responsive, and sent pictures each visit. She even gave him a new toy which he loves and brought to me as soon as I got home. Would highly recommend Suzanne to care for your dog!

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!

Jessica was great with our dogs & provided so many pictures and communication throughout our trip. After we hired her, we decided to go on another trip and booked her immediately again. I’m sure our dogs look forward to us going out of town so they can see her more.

About: I’ve been pet sitting cats, dogs, and hamsters for the majority of my life. I’m very good with dogs and cats. Both of my dogs are well trained. I’m currently working remotely and attending online school. This will allow me to give your pets a great experience and loving care! I walk my two dogs at least once a day if not twice, I would love to bring yours along with! I have a fenced in yard and two playful dogs to keep yours company! Also a great walking area my dogs and I love to walk almost everyday! My dogs have their own room in my house with their cages that are left open all day, this gives them a place to go rest! Of course your dog will be welcome to do the same!

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: 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.

Made it comfortable for Sasha while I was gone when she’s usually scared of new people and even washed her off after peeing in her diaper! An all around great care taker for a last minute situation and definitely would recommend again in the future.

About: I’m a dedicated animal lover with hands-on experience volunteering at my local animal shelter two to three times a week. I regularly walk dogs, foster animals in my home, and transport animals to meet rescue organizations. Through volunteering and fostering, I’ve gained experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets. I’m patient, dependable, and will treat your pets like they’re my own. Whether they need walks, playtime, cuddles, or just some extra company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. 🐾 *Fear, Anxiety, and Stress (FAS) course taken with Appalachian State University* I’m available on weekdays and some weekends. I have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of time to provide attentive, reliable care. I can accommodate drop-in visits and make sure your beloved family member gets plenty of attention, playtime, feeding, and care while you’re away. I treat every animal as if they were my own. I follow feeding, medication, and care instructions closely and always make sure they have a clean, safe, and comfortable environment. I’m also experienced with fostering and caring for animals that need a little extra attention.

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.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Holly Ridge

Frequently asked questions about Rover

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

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 1,312 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Holly Ridge. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Holly Ridge stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Holly Ridge. On Rover:

  • 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.
