“This was my first experience with a dog sitter and I’m so happy that I trusted my instincts when I read her profile, read her reviews, and saw her smiling profile pic. Denise did a wonderful job caring for my pups who have some special needs. She ensured she understood all the special instructions and put my mind at ease. She always checked in, sent photos, and had such a cheerful disposition. I’m so glad I found her. I now feel like I have more freedom because I know I can trust my very precious girls with her.”
“Danielle was a fantastic dog sitter for my dog, Luna! She sent plenty of pictures and updates throughout my weekend trip and left the house as clean as I left it. She even let Luna sleep in bed with her! Would definitely recommend (:”
“Anna is great! Our dog Darrel loved her. She responded right away to my request to book and came over the same day to meet our dog and to let me show her where everything is in the house. We needed her to come at 5am the next day and she was there bright and early on time. She sent us pictures throughout the day to let us know how Darrel was doing. We will definitely use Anna again.”
“We have consistently worked with Vivian for overnight stays and she is the best! Constantly walks and plays with our little girl and gives picture updates regularly! She goes above and beyond what we ask her and she is the best communicator and super kind!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and pets throughout my life and understand how important it is to have someone you can genuinely trust with a member of your family. I’m attentive, active, dependable, and comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I enjoy walks, playtime, exercise, companionship, and giving pets plenty of individual attention. I’m also patient with animals who need a little extra time to feel comfortable with someone new. I pay close attention to feeding instructions, routines, behavior, safety, and the little details that help pets feel secure while their people are away. My goal is simple: I want you to feel confident knowing your pet is safe, cared for, loved, and getting plenty of attention. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and enjoy staying active. I’m able to make time for walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, and companionship without rushing. I like giving pets consistent attention and keeping their normal routine as comfortable and familiar as possible. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed. I pay close attention to feeding instructions, walks, playtime, medications, doors and gates, and any special needs or behaviors. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the pet and the home, keep everything clean and secure, and provide updates so you know your pet is being well cared for while you’re away.
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! I am constantly around and animals and having to commit myself to taking care of them. I am willing to learn and adapt to taking care of each individual dog as needed to fulfill any needs. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving and caring for them. I have experience with both elderly dogs and puppies as young as just a few days old. I am currently available full time during the summer for any drop ins or house sitting when needed! I am also flexible and can accept last minute bookings. When in your home I would love to take your babies for walks, to the dog park, or anything else that is a part of their normal routine to make them more comfortable!
“Maddy was the perfect person to take care of our dog while we were away for the weekend. He seemed very happy and well-cared for when we returned. Would definitely book again!”
“Emily did a fantastic job with my 2 labs! Communication was excellent. She followed all instructions and even cleaned up without me asking. Cannot wait to book her again!”
About: I've taken care of animals old and young, playful and shy, and they all get the same amount of love and attention. No paw left behind. I work part time at a restaurant. I had been walking dogs the past couple years, as well as taking care of my own cat. Whither it be morning or afternoon, I always make quality time for your pets. Depending on the care needed. I spend time playing, cleaning up after animals, walks depending on how long you choose and any other activities or duties is needed, all done with care and a calm positive attitude toward the animals.
“Elizabeth is a reliable and great Dogsitter. Took great care of my Dog Kira once again for an overnight. Followed instructions, communicated, and most importantly took excellent care of my dog. Thank you!”
“Jason is the best! My dogs love him. He is here when we need him. We check in with each other. He lets us know if anything comes up. Highly recommend him. Will definitely use him again.”
About: Hi! I'm Julia, a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of experience caring for my own dog. That included the senior years, so I'm well versed in the extra attention older pets need, from slower walks and joint care to keeping a steady routine. I'm also comfortable giving medications to both dogs and cats, whether that's pills, liquids, or injections, and I'm happy to follow whatever regimen you have in place. After recently losing my dog, I've realized how much I miss having animals around, and I'd love to spend time with yours. I'll treat your pets like my own, with plenty of patience, affection, and regular updates so you can relax while you're away. A typical day for me: I work full time, Monday through Friday from 8 to 5, mostly from home. That means I'm around during the day and have some flexibility in the afternoons, so I can be available for midday check-ins, walks, or medication schedules. The exception is Thursdays, when I'm in the office all day in LA. I'm mainly looking for evening and weekend bookings, but I'm happy to talk through what your pet needs and see if we can make the timing work. My home: Your pet's safety is my top priority. My home has a fully fenced backyard, so dogs have a secure space to stretch their legs, and there's a dog park right on site for extra playtime and socializing. The house stays locked at all times, and I have room for kennels if your pet needs a designated space to rest or feel secure.
About: I have 5 yeas of experience caring for dogs, including corgis. I understand that corgis are smart, energetic, playful, and full of personality, so I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and positive interaction. I'm dependable, patient, and attentive to each dog's routine and individual needs. my gold is to make every pup feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I have flexible schedule and can easily work pet care into my daily routine. I'm available for regulars walks, play, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I provide attentive and reliable care in your home, following your pet's normal routine and your specific instructions. I treat your home with respect and keep your pet safe
About: Hi I’m Ryder! Taking care of animals isn’t just a job for me, I love doing it. I’ve taken care of a variety of animals since I was in 6th grade and I am very serious about the safety and comfort of animals. I currently have my own adorable cat and puppy back home who are very happy and healthy. I have a deep love for animals and I can take care of any task you need for your animal. I will send you photo and text updates while with your pet. I will be the perfect sitter/walker for your you! I’m currently a college football player at Golden West College. I have practice Monday-Friday from 7-11AM, and class until 2PM. I am available Monday-Friday from 3PM-10PM! Saturdays and Sundays I have games and church and am not available :/ I understand how important and scary it is to trust someone with your pet. I’m responsible, attentive, and patient, and I’ll always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness while they’re in my care. I treat your pet like it’s my own.
About: Animal lover for life! Growing up with cats and dogs gave me an early foundation in animal care and communication (the non-psychic kind 😄). For the past three years, I've volunteered with Guide Dogs of America, socializing and training puppies from 4 to 8 weeks old. This work has deepened my understanding of dog behavior, development, and trust-building from the very earliest stages of life. Cats hold a special place in my heart too. Years of living with them taught me how to read feline body language, respect their independence, and create a calm space where they can be comfortable. Friends and family turn to me as their go-to sitter, and I bring that same dependable, loving care to every animal I meet. I come to your home, keeping your pet in their own familiar environment so they stay relaxed, comfortable, and stress-free while you're away. As a yoga and piano teacher, my schedule gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week. I have two dedicated teaching days where my availability is limited, but the rest of the week I have generous windows of free time- perfect for popping in, spending quality time with your pet, and making sure they feel loved. Since I provide in-home sitting, your pet stays in their own familiar environment the entire time. I follow your established routines: feeding schedules, walk times, sleep spots, and any special instructions you leave. I treat every home with respect and keep safety a top priority, making sure gates, doors, and any pet-proofing measures stay in place throughout my visit. Your pet's comfort and security always come first.
“Robyn is awesome! She recently stayed overnight with our new puppy, Gypsy. She even came over a few days before to meet Gypsy beforehand to calm our nerves (we were a little bit nervous!). She took pictures, sent text messages, played with Gypsy, and kept careful watch over our little fur baby. Gypsy was so excited and happy when we came home, which indicates that she had a blast. We will definitely be asking Robyn to watch Gypsy again!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Sunset Beach is $63
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sunset Beach
Forest came to watch our two golden retrievers and housesit while we were at our wedding. We are so incredibly lucky to have found Forest through Rover, and we would definitely book again! We were able to relax at our wedding knowing our girls were in great hands. Forest also came over for a meet and greet before which made us so comfortable. Thank you for everything!!!
Elizabeth was great with my somewhat anxious dog. She won him over with her kindness, sent photos and reassurance while I was away on a two week trip, and left my condo in good shape. She was flexible when I asked her to stay a bit later on the final day which was a big help. I'd definitely book her again.
I was in a bind and Caitlin saved me! had a sitter lined up and they cancelled the night before I had to leave for a flight to New York. I didn’t know what I was going to do, so I checked Rover. I messaged Caitlin and told her my circumstances. She went to my house while I wasn’t home (I gave her our house code), she got my dogs, took them to her house and watched them all weekend at her house. She sent pictures and communicated with me the entire time. I was so anxious and she helped me to feel relaxed while she took care of my two babies. I don’t know what I would have done if she had not been so understanding and accommodating. She was a great caretaker and communicator. for sure will use her again.
Kim was an amazing dog sitter! She was extremely communicative, sent plenty of updates about my sweet girl and my little Halia looked very happy and well cared for. Kim is very trustworthy and her friendly, warm personality is a pleasure to work with. I am so thankful to have found Kim as my new care taker for my doggie. I don’t trust many dog sitters and she is the best!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Sunset Beach walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Sunset Beach maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Sunset Beach choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
