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.

About: Dogs only want to give and receive love. They are, perhaps, Gods greatest creation. I've worked at a Veterinarian office/Doggy Day Care nearly 5 years, caring for all ages and sizes. I volunteer at the Sheriffs Animal Control Shelter in Supply. I believe dogs enrich the lives of the people around them. I've always been able to bond with dogs. A mutual trust has always come easy. They're all beautiful, and people could learn a lot from them. They make me laugh every day. Dogs will always be safe and happy with me watching over them. I wiil provide great companionship and a soft, warm touch while you're away. I guarantee that you will feel completely secure and confident with my abilities to maintain a safe, fun experience for your dog. Having someone you trust to care for your dog is invaluable. I will be that person. We love to be at home. Being on a walk or hanging outside is what we enjoy. I work at a doggy daycare and can fit pet care at home easily. Daily care of our dog is walking, feeding, brushing hair and teeth, love and cuddles, and of course playing games. We love to take our pebbles with us everywhere. We will give the same care to every dog we meet.

About: I have been a pet parent to cats and dogs. Love to see all of their personalities. I have had rottweilers and pitbulls. I appreciate the love they have. I work full time but like to stay busy. I have a varied schedule and can help take care of your babies and show them love and affection when you cannot. I have a fenced yard for my pitbulls. They are both strong so we use chest harnesses when walking. They are fed 10 feet apart with zero food aggression.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 20 years and have several years of professional experience in dog training and pet care. I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, ages and temperaments, including puppies, seniors, high-energy dogs, shy or anxious dogs, and dogs with behavioral or reactivity concerns. I offer personalized dog walks, adventure style walks, drop-in visits and overnight care in your home. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, medications, walks, playtime and enrichment. My professional training background also gives me experience safely handling dogs who may need a little more patience, structure or understanding than the average pet sitter can provide. Most importantly, I treat every animal in my care as an individual. I’m dependable, communicative and genuinely love what I do. I’m also a proud Husky mom to Winter & Koda and cat mom to Cat, Mooshka & Rumpus. Pet care is my full-time profession, so my schedule is built around the animals in my care. I offer flexible availability for dog walks, drop-in visits and overnight house sitting, including weekdays and weekends. Because this is what I do professionally, I’m able to give each pet reliable, attentive care while maintaining their normal routine. I care for each pet according to their normal routine and the instructions provided by their owner. With years of professional dog training and pet care experience, safety is always my priority. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes, ages, temperaments and energy levels, and I’m comfortable managing multi-pet homes. I provide attentive, reliable care while respecting your home and keeping you updated throughout each visit or stay.

“Alex dropped in to feed Big B and let him outside afterwards. He was great with B.J. and wasn’t intimidated by his size, excitement AND hair at all. He gave him lots of attention which B.J. absolutely loves. I have a Rat Terrier Chihuahua mix who was wary of him at first, but he informed me that he eventually warmed up to him. I will certainly request his services whenever I need a good dog sitter.”

I’m a responsible, and compassionate person who understands how important it is to feel confident that your beloved pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a genuine love for animals and experience caring for dogs with different personalities, needs, and routines. I grew up on a farm and have led a pet centered life since.

Whether your pet wants long walks and lots of playtime, quiet companionship, or simply someone to stick to their familiar routine, I’m happy to meet them where they are.

I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and plenty of reassurance so you know your furry family member is doing well. I would love the opportunity to get to know you and your pets and become someone you can trust whenever they need a little extra love and care. ❤️ I currently do not work so I have plenty of time to drop in and spend time with your pet!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Sunset Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Sunset Beach is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $28 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 October 2026, there are 617 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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sunset Beach. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.

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.
