“Lee is a god send the best ever the love and care of my fur babies she's the best first time ever left my babies will never worry again as long as they are with her I just can't thank her enough 💖💖💖”
About: I’ve had my own dog for 16 years. I’ve traveled to Texas on various occasions over the last 3 years to dog sit my daughter/son-in law’s 2 dogs. Enjoy taking dogs for walks to get them exercise. I’m a retired police officer that currently isn’t working so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule and a lot of availability to care for your pets. I will take dogs for walks to get exercise if needed and hang out and show them love and attention while their family is away.
“Brook was amazing and my dogs loved her! She sent me updates, videos and photos every day! It was so comforting knowing someone was loving them nearly as much as I do. Three dogs is a handful but she handled it like a rock star! My house was spotless when I returned - pretty amazing since I can't even manage that for more than 10 minutes! I would recommend Brook to anyone but hope you don't take my spots with her! Thank you, Brook!”
About: I have cared for young to senior, rambunctious to frail. This includes dogs, cats and even guinea pigs. I can provide walks, feedings, meds, play and even Reiki! Past volunteer at the Brunswick County Humane Society and NMB Humane Society. I travel between Charlotte and Sunset Beach, mainly in Sunset Beach. When I am at the beach I am free to help all times and days. I believe dogs love getting out and going for walks. I offer walks for all types of doggie dispositions - with experience in scared, nervous and frail dogs.
About: Caring for animals has always been a part of who I am. I have many years caring and looking after animals of all shapes and sizes. I love getting to know pets and their unique personalities. I love taking walks and giving as many cuddles as they will accept. I will accommodate the needs and routines of your pets to ensure they feel as cared for as when their humans are home. With me they will be safe and loved. I am recently retired and have flexibility to accommodate the needs of your fur babies. I am available morning, afternoon, and evenings on most days. I will do my best to make it work for your pet. Your pet's safety and comfort will always be my top priority. They will find a calm and loving space with me with minimal disruption to their routines. I will follow all instructions closely given and make your pet feel as if you never left.
“Wonderful! Understood the needs of my senior dog. It’s hard to leave your beloved pet in the care of someone else when there are so many special needs. It’s such a comfort to know my pet is being cared for the way I would.”
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: Hi, my name is Alex. I have been around pets my whole life, but don't currently have one of my own. I love animals of all kinds and enjoy caring for them. I am very flexible and willing to meet your needs! My roommates each have a pet of their own that I currently help out with and has given me all the experience I need to fulfill every aspect of your pet's care. I've had pets of my own all my life and am familiar with their needs. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to walk dogs and whatever else they might need. I follow the routine that the pet owner leaves for me to keep the pet comfortable and in their usual routine. I keep spaces clean and organized while loving all animals. 100% of the care will come from myself.
“Paris is an exceptional pet sitter who is caring, playful with our pups, punctual, polite, and trustworthy. We were lucky to find her during our vacation at Myrtle Beach. She even recommended an awesome restaurant!! Don’t hesitate to book with her, she’s the best!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats frequently since middle school, often in house sitting settings as well. I have had dogs throughout my entire life and have many friends with cats and have spent ample time with them. I have dealt with numerous animals with health issues or problems, including older pets and puppies. I understand the value of all the little unique things that are important to an owner to ensure their pet is taken care of, healthy, protected and loved to their standard. My family rescued a puppy this past year, and I took on a large responsibility in training and watching him during his more crucial stages. I have worked with and spent time around multiple rescued animals and understand the value of creating a comfortable environment from them and extra care to detail as they often have triggers from past experiences. I also work with puppies through a local breeder and have learned a lot about puppies and their development. I am a skilled problem solver, know how to communicate well and can recognize when over-communication is important. I manage my time well and feel that people in my life would consider me an overachiever in all things I do. I love animals and miss having them to interact with while at school; therefore, time spent with them is always valuable to me. I am currently a full-time student at Coastal Carolina University and play club volleyball. I have always worked and played a sport full time alongside school, and after transferring here recently, I have found myself with time for a job. With a schedule that makes my routine look different day by day I have found this would be a great fit as I can be flexible in working with clients. My weekends are free and I have lots of longer gaps throughout my day between classes which could be valuable to those who have to leave their pets for long periods of time. I'm from colorado so going home is not an option for me often and widens my availbilty. I have experience working in apartments, houses, ect of all kinds. Often my pet care includes house sitting which I am very comfortable with. I understand the value and basic decency of respect to others homes and possesions. The golden rule is a fundamental aspect of how I operate in my day to day and I would never do something I wouldnt want done to me, my pets or my home. I am a very honest person and would not hesitate to communicate anything that happens in my time with clients pets or their homes. Honesty is the best policy and valuable in maintinging proper care. I am a great problem solver and have lots of experience with handling conflict. I have grown up very indepentdent and am confident people in my life would consider me to be highly reliable and responsible. Positions as team captains, tutoring and as an RA speak to these traits.
“Ryan was an amazing dog sitter! He was attentive, caring, and kept great communication throughout. My dogs were very comfortable with him, and I felt completely at ease while away. I’d definitely book with him again!”
“Lexi was great!! She was very communicable with everything they did throughout the day and sent lots of pictures. She offered to take him to her house to play with her dogs and he had a blast, definitely made it easier to leave him knowing he was having so much fun. Would recommend!!”
About: I've taken care of dogs ever since I was 15. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed and watch their pets. I have my own 4 year old dog that I walk, feed, and take care of on the daily. I also watch my neighbors dogs occasionally. I am able to crate, walk, and feed any pet. I am also experienced in giving pets medicine if needed. I will have nothing but love for every pet I take care of.
“Amanda took great care of our dogs while we were away for a couple of weeks. She sent photos every couple of days which was appreciated. The house was as we left it.”
About: A pet is more than just a pet, they’re a part of the family. I’ve had many dogs over the years, so I understand how deep that love runs. I treat all pets like they are my own, and with over 15 years experience, you can be assured that your pet with be well taken care of. I am blessed to be able to own my own business, therefore work from my own on my own hours. Pet care fits into my schedule because it’s always been the highlight of my working day, and therefore I put as much if not more energy into taking care of your furry friends as I do my own. In our house we are all equal, and that includes pets. Your pets will get endless love, play time, exercise, and attention as needed. I am happy to make accommodations to suit your pets special needs, so that they are happy, comfortable and enjoying every minute.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sunset Beach
This was our first time using a pet sitter, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We needed someone to care for our two dogs, along with our daughter’s dog, while we celebrated our son’s wedding. From the very beginning, Krystina was incredibly helpful, responsive, and easy to communicate with. She made the entire process stress-free and gave us peace of mind knowing our dogs were in good hands. Throughout the evening, she kept us updated and even sent a picture, which was such a thoughtful touch. Thanks to Krystina, we were able to relax and enjoy our son’s special day without worrying about our dogs. We truly appreciated her kindness, professionalism, and the care she provided. We would absolutely recommend her and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!
Grace was wonderful! She stayed at our home and took such great care of the house, Nona and Cash and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She was dependable, communicative and clearly has a genuine love for pets! We would absolutely trust Grace with our pets again and highly recommend her.

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.
Tip: 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
