About: I’ve owned large dogs my whole life and this struck a passion in me earlier on to get into the hobby of dog training. I got so good that people even began to ask me to help train their new puppies. Additionally, I also ran my own dog walking business throughout the last 4 years and now that I am graduated I would love to continue working with dogs while I save money for college! Currently, I am free all day every day until I start college in the spring. This leaves me with a completely open availability to help care for your beloved pets! I will follow the instructions given to me by each pet owner exactly as they would like. I treat each pup and kitty with kindness and patience always. With my dogs they are spoiled with lots of walks, treats, and lots of fetch to help them get out their energy and if your pup has some extra energy i’d love to play with them until they are content and tired out! I always make sure to message each pet owner when I arrive and when I leave to make sure they know their fur baby is in good hands!
“Has come and walked Bolo multiple times. Often available on short notice. That works great for us since we don’t always know we need her in advance. We are always happy with her.”
About: I have always had animals in my life there isn't an animal I can't take care for or love. I am good on following orders you give me so I can properly care for each an individual pet with the needs that they need. I balance my schedule to ensure that my part-time pet sitting hours are entirely open, active, and focused on maintaining your puppy's essential potty and feeding routines. I treat your home with the utmost respect while delivering dedicated care, ensuring your puppy stays safe, well exercised and happy in their own comfortable and familiar environment. If you want to check in jus call or FaceTime at any time.
About: I’ve had my dog Chloe since she was a pup, I’ve crate trained her, she knows how to sit, shake, and speak when given a treat. I work full time but willing to work around my work schedule and my days off to take care of your fur baby to feed, walk, potty breaks. I care for my pets with lots of play time, cuddles, love and attention, walks in the neighborhood. I make sure I follow their routine schedule if they have one.
About: I have be around animals since I was four. From play vet with them to training them all the way to having them help me in therapy settings. Animals will give us signs when they are stressed that can be very subtle and we often miss these signs. My years of experience works with watching for signs and respecting what your pet is saying. Animals are my passion. I build my own schedule. So if the animal needs care at specific times I have the availability to work them into my daily routine. With respect and care. Meet and greets as well before starting services. Our animals deserve the best attention and care to help them feel safe and connected.
About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and caring for them is something I truly love. I have three cats of my own, including one with special needs, so I'm experienced with providing extra patience and medical care when needed. I also fostered for a dog rescue, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities—from playful puppies to senior dogs, anxious pups to confident companions, and those with special needs. I'm comfortable administering medications and always strive to make every pet feel safe, loved, and right at home. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life! I’m used to planning my days around the needs of my own three cats, including one who requires extra attention, and I love creating a routine where pets feel comfortable and cared for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, medication, meals, or extra cuddles, I enjoy making time for each pet’s individual needs. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s a part of my lifestyle. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in their own home, my goal is simple: keep them happy, comfortable, and feeling loved. I follow their normal routines, from meals and medications to walks, playtime, and cuddle time. I’m comfortable with all personalities, from confident pups to shy cats, energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience. Every pet gets personalized care, because they’re family, not just a booking.
“Great sitter, she took amazing care of my dog and he seemed to love her company. Sent lots of photos during her visit and was very quick to get back to me. 10/10 would highly recommend”
“Christian did a great job! He was always on time, gave detailed reports, and updated me with pictures with each visit. My dog loves him! I will definitely be calling on Christian again whenever I need him!”
About: I’m a retired 55‑year‑old who has spent most of my life caring for dogs from wiggly puppies to sweet seniors needing extra support. Before my wife and I began traveling for five years of full‑time in our motorhome with our two small dogs, Sangria and Tequila, our family had Rufus, our golden retriever. He was truly one of the best dogs I’ve ever known. I cared for him from the day we brought him home as a puppy until his passing in 2014, and that experience shaped the way I approach senior care, gentle handling, and understanding a dog’s emotional needs. During our travels across the U.S., we met incredible people and pets, and I learned how to adapt to all kinds of routines, temperaments, and environments. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and now that we’ve settled in Ocean Isle, I’m excited to offer drop‑in pet sitting for families who want someone reliable, patient, and genuinely loving to care for their pets. I treat every dog with the same respect and affection I given our pups and I’m committed to making your pets feel safe, seen, and cared for while you’re away. Now that we’ve settled in Ocean Isle Beach, my schedule is steady and flexible. I’m available most days for drop‑in visits and can work around your pet’s usual feeding and play times. Consistency is important for pets, and I’m able to provide that. Since I provide drop‑in visits only, I care for pets in their own home just like I care for my own. I follow your routine exactly as you outline it, keep your home secure, and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. I’m careful with doors, gates, and feeding schedules, and I always leave things tidy and locked up before I go.

As your dog sitter I promise to take care of your furry kid like it was my own, I’m very open to learning new routines, and I have a very flexible schedule. Also, I happen to have six dogs of my own and am very passionate about my job as a dog sitter. I strongly believe that animals aren’t just a pet they are part of the family. I love going on runs around the neighborhood, playing in the back yard and going to the local park with the dogs I sit. I look forward to meeting you and you’re beautiful family! Thank you. Rylie
“Megan did such a good job with daily check ins with my cat Mimi while I was away for work! Mimi’s an extremely shy cat and Megan managed to make her comfortable enough to come out from under the bed and hang out for a bit.”

About: I've been caring for dogs for many years, both through pet ownership and helping family and friends with their pets. Over the years I've owned a Golden Retriever and currently have a high-energy Border Collie, giving me plenty of experience with active dogs that need regular exercise, play, and attention. I've also cared for multiple Golden Retrievers, a Mini Australian Shepherd, and a Lab mix. My experience includes dogs of all ages, from raising puppies to caring for senior dogs, and I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs. During the summer, I have a flexible schedule due to being off from my full-time job, which allows me to accommodate a variety of walking and drop-in visit times. I'm happy to work with your dog's routine and can often provide weekday and daytime availability. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. As a longtime dog owner and caregiver, I understand the importance of patience, attentiveness, and building trust with every dog. I've cared for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs, and I always tailor my approach to each dog's personality and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, fetch, or a slower-paced outing, they'll receive plenty of care, supervision, and affection while they're with me.
About: I had a schnoodle named Opie from 2012 to 2022. He was a great dog. I loved the joy he brought my family! Although we have not had a pet since then because it does not fit in our life currently financially, I have that great joy seeing others walking their dogs, playing with them, or driving by dog parks! Please allow me to get my pet fix by loving on your pet! I currently work a flexible Amazon Prime schedule. When I am delivering I see many people in neighborhoods walking or playing with their pets and it brings me so much joy! I would love the opportunity to care for yours! I can manage to give one on one time with your pet or if they love kids I can bring my kids with as well and bring them joy too! I do not have pets of my own but any animals I come across I make sure I love on them after asking permission from the owner. I have 4 kids who love animals too! I will treat them as my own! Thank you for letting me get my animal fix!
About: I have owned and operated horse boarding in the past and i have a certificate to be a vet assistant. I am very in tune with animals needs. I am a very quiet person and seem to be able to calm the most nervous of dogs. I love my work with animals and i hope to be of service to my fellow neighbors of North Myrtle Beach and close areas. Please call or text me at the number provided bt Rover and lets see what i can help you with. I am currently working a few nights a week and thought that I could definitely help those that need someone to care and snuggle their fur babies when they can’t! I have a fenced yard but also take my dogs on walks to explore! I have four dogs who need daily stimulation to keep them from getting bored.

We couldn’t be happier with the care Dace has provided our 3 fur babies! She helped us be letting our dogs our while we were working long hours, spent time playing with them, and made sure they had everything they needed. It was such a relief knowing our dogs weren’t alone all day without being able to have a mid-day playtime outside, and were genuinely cared about. The extra attention and playtime had made a huge difference for them being able to get some extra energy out!

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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
