“Sidney took great care of Kona, always communicated with us and sent wonderful pictures. Kona loved playing with her dogs and being in Sidney’s home. We will absolutely have Kona stay there again.”
“Emily went above and beyond for our dog Ellie. We are new to the area and was worried about leaving her with someone for the first time. Our worries are gone and have a place for Ellie to go when we are away and cannot take her. She is very easy to communicate with and answerd all our questions quickly. Emily and her family made Ellie apart of their family and we appreciate that”
“Alicia and Van are absolutely wonderful. We love to leave Socks with them whenever we can. He loves playing Reecie and Lacey and I love that he has them to keep him busy!”
“I am so grateful to have found Abigail and her daughter. This was the first time that my family and I have not utilized "pet boarding" services and decided to leave our dog with a "pet sitter" in their home. Abigail and her daughter demonstrated their love for our dog, Nova. We received multiple picures throughout Nova's stay and updates about her behavior. Nova suffers with severe anxiety and she did not have to use any of her prescribed medication during her stay! I was so at peace, knowing that our dog was being cared for as if she were in her actual home. When we come to Mrytle Beach for our vacation, best believe Nova will be staying with Abigail and her daughter. Thank you again Abigail!”
“Atina was amazing! Aspyn, our 15w/o Mini Aussie is a ball of energy and needs lots of attention, so I had several questions and requests before booking. Atina delivered perfectly! I loved that Aspyn received one-on-one attention, playtime, daily walks, and socialization with her senior dogs while still sticking to her normal routine as much as possible. She accommodated everything I needed, and offered more, which I appreciated so much. From the moment I arrived and saw the setup she created for her “clients”, it was obvious she has truly found her calling and goes above and beyond for every fur baby in her care. The regular pictures and updates made being away so much easier. Aspyn will continue to go on vacation with us, but stay 15 minutes away with Atina. I highly recommend Atina for dogs of any age! Everyone needs a little Atina in their life!💜🐶✌🏼”
“She was AWESOME! My baby Bubba has a new auntie. I didn't worry at all while on vacation because Katherine made him so comfortable and now he has a friend in Bailey for life! I would leave Bubba with her every time...”
About: My mother was a human society officer so I grew up learning to care and have compassion for all animals. We rescued and fostered bunnies, cats, dogs, squirrels, owls, and raised a fisher king. I was raised on a farm as well so Ive cared for chickens, cows pigs and horses. I have been involved with the NC Equine Rescue and have rehabilitated neglected horses. I just love all animals. I am blessed to work from home so it allows me the flexibility to help others with their pets. When I leave town I have always had someone come to my home to care for my dogs (2 Doberman Pinchers) while I am away. It takes the stress away for the animal and the anxiety away for the owner. Just knowing they are staying in the comfort of their own home gives everyone peace of mind. Call or text me. I’m self employed and work primarily from my laptop. I have lots of flexibility within my schedule to care for pets and provide overnight stays if needed. I have a fenced in yard and have a fully enclosed down stairs. I have two dogs that are very friendly and have never been aggressive with other dogs.
“We are so happy to have found you, Maegan! Lola loves her stays with you and your family! She’s well loved & cared for and she really enjoys playing with your pups and receiving so much attention. We highly recommend your service! Thanks!!! 😊”
About: Thank you for considering me to care for your dogs. I know it’s not an easy decision. We also offer weekly Poop Scooping service - Just ask! I have always had a family dog. I have run an in home doggy day care, owned a pet treat bakery, earned my Vet Tech degree, worked in veterinary clinics, a specialty animal hospital, and as a pet nutrition consultant. I have cared for young and old, sick and healthy. I have seen everything at this point. One of my dogs had seizures so I know how difficult it can be to trust someone with a pet with medical conditions. I’m here to help. I hope to make this my full time job aside from mom. I have 2 daughters and 2 dogs. Check ins fit nicely into our busy family schedule. I’ll take time for each pet. Chatting with them, snuggles, pets, let me know what they need and I'll do my best to make sure they feel your love!
About: I have had animals all my life and love dogs. They bring joy to my life. I have a 13 pound shih poo named Precious who’s as sweet as they come. She will love your fur baby! I am retired but work a small job so I will be able to give your baby a huge amount of attention. They will be loved like my own! I live in a great neighborhood where walking your baby is such a joyful experience for everyone. There are other dogs who are all very friendly and sweet. We have sidewalks and lots of green space for doing business.
“Christy was amazing! Her home is welcoming and set up for pups. She had a couple other dogs when I took Kelso, and she was great with identifying the personalities and handling their needs. I have an older dog and she went out of her way and put mats down on the hardwood floors when his legs were tired. She kept me informed with messages and pictures the entire visit. It was an exceptional experience for the Kelso and me!”
“Abigail did an amazing job caring for our senior dog. She was patient, attentive, and truly thoughtful with his needs. It gave us peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We’ll definitely be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring sitter.”
“Lori and her husband have been fantastic. Our first time allowing someone to keep our Bully. She has kept me up to date with text messages, pictures and videos. Already set up more boarding with her in the future”
About: I love animals and would love to help you out for any needs you need. I am at home all the time. Fenced in back yard. I work from home and have all the time to give outing outside and love while they stay in my home. I also have a teenager that would love it. I have a fenced in back yard and no animals at this time. So if you don’t want them around other animals I can do this too.
“Holly was wonderful! We had a nice meet and greet prior to our reservation that made us and our dog more comfortable for her upcoming stay. Holly's yard and home was well segregated to easily accommodate a few dogs for proper introductions and ready them for spending time together. Tallulah looked relaxed and having fun in all the pictures Holly sent us. I would highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve took care of dogs since I was 12 and have been doing it ever since , I love and enjoy being around them all the time . Im a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to take care of your pups and would love to care for them I have 3 dogs of my own that they can play with and have plenty of fun with , would love for them all to meet
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Christina took wonderful care of my dog, Milo, while I traveled to North Carolina for my mother’s funeral. Knowing he was in good hands gave me peace of mind during a difficult time. She sent me pictures so I could see him, and that meant so much to me. I highly recommend Christina! Thank you for your kindness and for taking such good care of my sweet Milo. 🐾❤️”
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember! I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, goats, and just about every furry friend imaginable. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and I truly believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful, which is why I strive to provide the same patience, attention, and affection I would want for my own dog. I share my home with Mabel, my energetic, friendly pup who loves making new friends! My sweet girl Mabel is energetic, playful, and enjoys the company of other dogs! However, she does appreciate a proper introduction before welcoming new friends into our home. 🐾 I encourage a meet-and-greet before boarding so Mabel and your pup can get acquainted, exchange a few sniffs, and make sure they’re both comfortable. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and peace of mind are always my top priorities! We live in the beautiful Windy Hill area of North Myrtle Beach, just four blocks from the ocean, with a yard for outdoor playtime and plenty of opportunities for fresh air and exercise. Whether your pup loves an active day of exploring or would rather curl up somewhere cozy for an afternoon nap, I’ll make sure their care is tailored to their personality, comfort level, and routine. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind while you’re away and make your pet feel like a cherished member of the family. Because to me, pets aren’t just animals — they’re family! 🐾❤️ I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make plenty of time for your furry family members! I enjoy incorporating walks, playtime, outdoor breaks, and lots of love into my daily routine. I do my best to accommodate each pet’s individual schedule so they feel comfortable, happy, and right at home! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities! I live in a pet-friendly home in the Windy Hill area, just four blocks from the beach, with a yard for supervised outdoor time. My dog Mabel is friendly and playful, but appreciates a proper meet-and-greet before welcoming new furry friends. I always follow each pet’s individual needs, routines, and house rules to make their stay as comfortable and stress-free as possible!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ocean Isle Beach
Laura and Elijah are kind and engaging people who, along with their dog, Buddy, welcomed my dog, Lizzie, into their home. They treated her as they would theirs and communicated daily with pictures and text. Laura asked good questions and answered all of mine when we met before the boarding dates. I highly recommend Laura, Elijah and Buddy!
Shannon & Miguel were awesome with our Pebbles. She usually has anxiety after a stay with a sitter, but this stay, she was a happy and content dog during and after her stay. We can't say enough wonderful things about them. They constantly stayed in touch with updates, photos and videos. Happy fur baby = happy owners❤️🥰🐶
I would absolutely have Shannon and Miguel watch Sandy again! Shannon was amazing about sharing frequent photos and videos, which was so comforting while I was traveling. Their home is immaculate, yet Sandy was immediately made to feel like part of the family—even being welcomed onto their bed. It gave me such peace of mind knowing she was happy, comfortable, and truly well-loved. Highly recommend!

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Ocean Isle Beach can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Ocean Isle Beach home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Ocean Isle Beach.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ocean Isle Beach. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
You and your Ocean Isle Beach sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
