“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.”
“Danielle was so amazing!! She was incredibly responsive and easy to coordinate with. She kept me updated throughout the day and gave a thorough review afterwards. And she took the best pictures of my puppy! Thank you so much Danielle”
“Suzanne was great! She was quick to respond and was very accommodating for my last minute request. She sent plenty of pictures and updates while take care of Dupree. Will definitely be using her in the future!”
“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.”
About: I've taken care of dogs for 12 years of all ages for friends, family, and coworkers. My dad is a dog trainer so I've learned some tricks from him I'm currently working full time ( 3 days a week 12 hour shifts) but my schedule is easy to work around and flexible. Please inquire and we can talk about scheduling (changes from week to week) i have a townhouse that does have stairs but can be blocked if needed. backyard is not fenced in but do have an area to be walked around
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.
“Leah was incredibly helpful when I had to leave town for a few days. She came over to meet the pups the day prior and I could tell she really cared about their well being. She sent pictures with updates which made my trip that much easier not having to worry about the creatures. Will use her again if I ever have to fly out of town.”
About: I have years of hands-on experience working in two professional boarding facilities where I cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and ages. During that time, I was responsible for feeding routines, exercise schedules, cleaning and sanitization, and giving pups the affection and enrichment they need to feel comfortable away from home. I’m trained in safely administering medications, monitoring behavior, and recognizing signs of stress or discomfort. Whether your dog is a high-energy adventurer or a laid back cuddler, I know how to keep them happy, safe, and cared for during every walk or check-in! Pet care is a natural part of my weekly routine! I have dedicated daily time blocks specifically for dog walks and check-ins so I can consistently provide reliable care for every pet parent I work with. Fresh air and staying active are already part of my lifestyle, so bringing pups along for exercise and outdoor enrichment makes it even better. I prioritize clear communication and punctual visits, and I’m always happy to send photo updates so you know your pet is having a great day:) Your pup’s needs will always come first! From potty breaks and playtime to gentle companionship while you’re away. Safety and trust are my top priorities during every visit. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level so they always feel secure while in my care. During check-ins, I follow feeding instructions, medication schedules, and household rules exactly as you outline them. For walks, I use secure leash handling, avoid unsafe areas or unknown dogs, and closely monitor your pet’s behavior and surroundings. I always ensure doors, gates, and crates are properly secured before leaving. With reliable communication and detailed updates after every visit, you can feel confident that your pet and your home are in responsible hands.
“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!”
“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: 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.
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.
“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!”
“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!”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Holly Ridge is $20
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Holly Ridge
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%!!!

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.

- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
