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.
About: Hi there! I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 11 and grew up with multiple family dogs, so pets have always been a big part of my life. Over the years, neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, give medication, and, most importantly, give their dogs plenty of love and attention. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from 7 month old puppies to calm 14 year old seniors. Whether your pup needs an energetic walk, a consistent routine, extra patience, or just some company, I’ll treat them like one of my own. While you’re away, I’m happy to check in as often as you’d like with photos and live updates, so you can feel confident and connected even when you can’t be there. Your dog’s comfort, happiness, and safety will always come first! I work full time, but I’m available to check in before and after work. I’m most free on weekends, when I can give your pet plenty of attention. I’m happy to spend the time needed to make sure they get loving, attentive care and stay on their routine. I’ll care for your pet in the way that works best for them and their home. Whether they need a calm, quiet environment or extra play and activity, I’ll adapt to their needs and follow any instructions you provide to keep your pet happy, comfortable, and safe.
“Carrie did a great job taking care of our pup! We had a last-minute need and she was able to come by the evening beforehand and do a meet and greet, then come visit with Luna today at lunch. Although our dog is still getting comfortable with new people, he warmed up to Carrie and played a bit in the backyard. I'm sure I will request help again in the future (but hopefully, with a bit more lead time). Thanks Carrie!”

About: I’m an auntie to my sister’s seven-year old pup, Sansa. I love to stay at home or go for walks, and would love for your pup to join me! I work remotely four days a week and am home often. I have a lot of time during the day to play with your cat or pup🐱🐶 I’m very flexible and can work with your schedule! I have an apartment on the second floor with lots of space for your cat or pup to roam. I’m very good at reading energy, so will adjust to your pet’s needs to give them attention or space.

“Danielle is amazing! She stopped by twice to take my pup on a potty walk. She took photos to ensure me kayn was being taken care of. I will definitely be using Danielle again for future visits ! Thank you so much!”

About: Hello! I adore animals of all kinds and have always seen my pets as part of my family. I've had years of experience with several sweet cats and dogs of my own. We've always rescued and found the best furry friends. For the last 10 years, I've cared for 2 sweet labs next door with frequent walks, meals, tuck-in service (bedtime kongs), and general cuddle puddles 4 days a week. I cat and dog sit for several neighbors and family members and have been doing so consistently for the last 12 years. My home is "beach cozy" (translation: small), so it's best suited for all cats and small-medium-sized dogs that enjoy getting out for walks. If you have a senior dog or cat that needs extra TLC or a quieter home, no kids, no other pets, and all the attention is on them, I am happy to provide a safe, comfy space! I work from home most days and have plenty of time to dedicate to pet, potty, and play breaks! I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate most pet needs. I have experience with administering medication and daily IV fluids. I got very comfortable caring for my senior CKD kitty for over a year. Anything to make life better for these sweet souls I'm willing to do! I am a thoughtful and caring pet sitter and will take care of your fur friends like family!
“I recently had Natasja drop in to care for my dog, Joey, and I couldn't be more satisfied. She was professional, punctual, and clearly passionate about animals. My usually shy dog, Joey, quickly warmed up to her, which put my mind at ease. Natasja followed all care instructions perfectly, spent extra time playing with Joey, and provided regular updates and adorable photos. I highly recommend Natasja for anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter and will definitely book with her again. Thank you, Natasja, for taking such wonderful care of Joey!”
“Hallie was very helpful in checking in on my pup koda several times throughout the day. Helped to ensure he got a nice walk and some potty breaks. Very professional, timely, and courteous. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone with a pup in need of a check in/walk.”

“So kind and trustworthy! My dog was well cared for the whole time. Great communication, daily updates, and a happy pup when I got home. Definitely recommend Vivian !”

About: Hello Rover friends, I am officially a Rover sitter. To all who know me the animal kingdom has been my world ever since I was a little girl. I guarantee your pet will have a forever friend and unconditional love. They are always priority when they are with me. What truly sets me apart is the depth of my hands-on experience and dedication to animal welfare. For over 30 years, I’ve been actively involved with rescue organizations—fostering dogs, volunteering at adoption events, and conducting home inspections to ensure safe placements. I also work closely with shelters to evaluate a dog’s behavior and temperament, helping rescues understand which environments each dog will thrive in. One of the most rewarding experiences of my life was raising orphaned newborn puppies—feeding them around the clock, keeping them warm, and nurturing them into strong, healthy companions. That level of care, patience, and love is something I bring to every animal I look after. I specialize in: • 🍼 Newborn & orphaned puppy care • 🐾 Puppy training support * Animal CPR • 🐶 Senior pet care • 🐕 Rescue & trauma-informed handling • 💊 Medication administration (oral/topical) • 🐈 Cat care & companionship • 🐴 Comfortable around horses • 🏠 Multi-pet household management • 📋 Shelter temperament assessments & home checks Every pet has a story, and I’m here to be the calm, loving chapter when you can’t be there. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—it’s what I truly love to do! I structure my days around the animals I care for, whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays. I have dedicated my life volunteering in Animal Welfare. I like to consider myself as the neighborhood dog whisper. There hasn't been a dog that I cant handle. With my flexible schedule and home-based work, I’m able to be fully available for your pet’s needs throughout the day and night. I’m available weekdays and weekends, including holidays, and I can accommodate a wide range of routines—whether your pet is high-energy and active or needs calm, consistent care. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I treat them like family and ensure they’re comfortable, secure, and loved every step of the way. In your home, I respect your space and routines. I carefully follow your instructions, maintain your pet’s feeding, walking, and medication schedules, and provide updates so you feel confident and informed while you’re away. I also understand how to read animal behavior, especially in rescue or sensitive pets, so I approach every situation calmly and with care. In my home, pets are welcomed into a calm, pet-friendly environment. I keep a clean, safe space with no hazards or stressors, and I always monitor interactions closely. I never leave pets unattended outside, and I make sure each animal has their own space to rest, relax, and feel at home. With over 30 years of hands-on experience—including rescue fostering, behavior assessments, and newborn puppy care—I provide a loving, trustworthy, and safe experience every time.
About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve always had a natural ability to connect with dogs, and I love bringing a fun, enthusiastic, and positive energy to every interaction. With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, I understand how important it is to make each pup feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for. Whether your dog is playful and energetic or prefers a little extra patience and cuddles, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at and give them the attention they deserve. My goal is always to make your pet feel like they have a trusted best friend while you’re away! Pictured is me with my furry soulmate, Bear! 🐻🐾🩷 I’m currently studying for my PT licensing exam, so my availability can be pretty open! Please let me know what might work best for you. As a lifelong dog owner, I’ve experienced just about every unexpected situation that can come with caring for pets—and those experiences have taught me to be attentive, proactive, and prepared. I understand that every pet has unique needs, routines, and quirks, whether that means keeping certain items out of reach, making sure they get outside for bathroom breaks, or simply giving them the attention and care they deserve. When you’re away, you can feel confident knowing your pet is in caring and responsible hands. I’ll treat your furry family member with the same patience, care, and attention I give my own pets!
“Lindsey was great and took great care of our cat Tony! She was super understanding and flexible when I had to change my booking last minute. She was also on time for the drop in visits and kept me updated with pictures. I’d absolutely book with Lindsey again!”


“Gabriella was a great sitter. My cat loved her at the first sight and started to build a connection with her. I've created a list of tasks for her to do daily at my place but she has done more than that. She washed my cat's dishes and removed the torn-up toys from her although I did not ask her. I'd definitely hire her again for my next vacation.”


About: I have been a pet owner my whole life. My family's first pet was a cat who preferred to be away from humans. Living with him taught me how to respect the reclusive cat while still providing a loving environment for them. The second pet I grew up with was a highly energetic and profusely anxious weimeraner. She taught me how to work with larger dogs with high energy and how to help calm their nervous system when she got over-excited (which was at least once a day). In college I volunteered at a local cat sanctuary where I cleaned the enclosures while the cats were still in them. I interacted with cats who were on the entire spectrum of sociabiltiy ranging from big sweet baby energy to very feral. I currently have two cats that I adopted. I have had to give them rounds of medicine and have had to learn the best ways to administer it. I am also at their command for whenever they want attention, which is at least once an hour. Thank you so much for considering me as your drop- in sitter! Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions about my experience with our furry friends. I am available most days and times Monday-Friday. I am also an early riser! Weekends I have less availability as I am training to be a pilates instructor. However I will be available after 5:30pm. I ensure that all pets that i have watched have a clean and comfortable environment to live in. When I drop in on dogs, the first things that I do are look for any accidents (especially if that is known to be an issue) and then I make sure that they have some fresh water. I also make sure to give them a little treat if that is allowed as well. If there is a yard I will let them out and supervise them the whole time, or just give them lots of scratches instead if thats what they prefer. I will pick up any and all poop that I find and ensure that it is disposed of properly. For cats I do the same thing and make sure that the litter box or boxes are scopped. I also ensure that the area around the litter boxes is maintained particularly if a furry friend is inclined to really throwing around the litter. If cats are out and about while I drop in and want attention, I will make sure to give them all the pets and scratches they desire. If they are on the independent side, I respect that and let them decide of they want to interact or not.
About: Hi! I’m Carly, a lifelong cat lover with hands-on experience caring for cats of all ages, personalities, and needs. I’m also actively involved in cat rescue, fostering, TNR, and helping community cats, so caring for kitties is truly a big part of my life. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your cats while you’re away. I’ll treat your kitties like my own and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, and care while keeping you updated along the way. 🐾🩵 I’m available for early-morning visits and weekday visits after 5 PM. On weekends and holidays, I have open availability and can accommodate multiple visits throughout the day. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine whenever possible! 🐾 Safety is always my priority. With my own pets, I maintain clean feeding, water and litter areas, monitor behavior closely, and make sure everyone has a comfortable, secure space. In a client’s home, I carefully follow their routine and instructions, double-check doors and gates, and watch for changes in eating, bathroom habits or behavior. My rescue experience has taught me to be patient, observant and especially careful with shy, nervous or escape prone pets.

Carrie has gone above and beyond for me and my large cane corso! My boy got really sick while I was away and she was able to handle it all from unfortunate accidents in the house, brand new medicine and food, and helping out when he decided to destroy things. She was super communicative and lovely with my boy. Will definitely be recommending and hiring again!

Alyssa was wonderful with August. She checked in twice a day during the week and three times a day on weekends, and kept us updated with photos and great communication. August absolutely loved her, and it was clear she cared for him like he was her own. She even brought in our packages and took care of the trash cans. We feel so lucky to have had her look after August while we were away and can’t wait to book her again!

Caitlin is an amazing pet sitter! My 5 month old puppy, Oliver enjoys having her around. She is very responsive and followed all my detailed instructions and provided photos and detailed updates of her time with Oliver. Will definitely use her for future bookings!

Sofia is absolutely amazing! This was our second time having her take care of August, and we couldn’t be happier. August absolutely loves her, which gives me so much peace of mind when we’re away. She’s incredibly caring, reliable, and treats him like he’s her own. I trust her completely and would recommend Sofia a million times over! We will absolutely continue booking with her. ❤️🐾

I would highly recommend Alisa and wouldn’t hesistate rebooking her services. She was communicative and easy to work with. She took great care of our pets and sent photo updates to us which reassured our smallest members of the family were well taken care of. Thanks Alisa!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Sunset Beach is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $39 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 17,154 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Sunset Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Sunset Beach. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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.
