“Emily house sat our 3 boys (dogs lol) and did an amazing job! She even left us the cutest physical pictures and sent pictures and updates throughout her stay with them. She is quite literally the best. Already rebooking with her. Thank you Emily!!”
“Tori did a wonderful job with our 2 dogs. They were immediately comfortable with her. She kept in touch and sent pictures. And she was respectful of the house and left it in great condition. Thank you Tori! We would highly recommend her.”
“Morgan is an exceptional sitter. She was attentive and caring to our two pups, she took the time to send pictures and updates daily. We loved having Morgan and would 100% recommend her to anyone. Thank you for caring for our pups like they were your own ♥️”
“If I could give Nikki more than 5 stars, I would! She took amazing care of Bubbles. Sent a lot of pictures and was easy to communicate with. Nikki went above and beyond taking care of Bubbles, which gave us peace of mind. Nikki is awesome!”
About: Hi, everyone! My name is Lauren and I'm originally from Baton Rouge; I’ve been in the Myrtle Beach area for about a year and a half. I have a 12-year old senior dog with a history of seizures and thyroid disease. As such, I am intimately aware of what it is like to worry about your dog’s well being and will provide your pets with the same love and care that I would provide to mine. I also now have history administering a couple types of medications, including pills, tablets that must dissolve in liquid, and liquid medication. I of course love dogs who are young, old, or anywhere in between, and enjoy getting out there and exercising with them as it keeps me healthy too! Let me know your pet’s schedule, quirks, and any other needs, and I will happily keep them on schedule while sending lots of pictures! My work schedule is pretty flexible so I can often work your pet’s needs around mine. I am particularly flexible around holiday breaks. Please let me know what you need and I will let you know if I can accommodate that. I am happy to watch your pets in your home. I can do drop ins, walks, or over night stays (tell me what you prefer!) and will make sure to spend a lot of time with your pets!
“Alyssa has gone above and beyond! She went out of her way to sit for us at the last minute. She has a great way with animals and takes such great care of them! Great communication, she sends pictures and updates and gives great peace of mind. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Nicole was excellent with our senior dog Eli. She was easy to reschedule with on last minute plans and able to give the extra care and assistance needed by our dog. This included several medicines, specific food/diet instructions, gentle urging with a stubborn corgi to go out, and gentle redirects as our dog gets lost quite a bit. I highly recommend Nicole if you’re looking for a caring and attentive dog sitter (especially so if your dog has more complex needs like mine).”
“Brooke was wonderful! Very communicative and sent us pictures of our boys often. We could tell she truly cared for our dogs and we also could tell they loved being with her. She takes great pride in her job and it shows. We definitely will be using Brooke the next time we need a dog sitter.”
“Craig was outstanding. I would refer him to one and all. This was a very positive experience for me and my fur babies. If I ever have to leave my pets alone at my new home if Florida. I would send Craig an airline ticket to watch them again. Thank you very much.”
“Very happy with Stephanie's service! We will definitely ask for her again. My doggo is very tired and happy after a long weekend with her staying with him, and the house looks great! Thank you Stephanie, much appreciated.”
“Jo-Anne is THE BEST! She was very communicative and took time to send thoughtful updates which I really appreciated. In addition to being such a great caregiver to Darla she left my home in immaculate condition which she did not need to do. I look forward to having Jo-Anne back anytime! You will, too.”
“This was the first time I left Skye who is deaf with someone I didn’t know from Anita‘s reviews, I felt very confident that she would take care of her. Anita sent pictures which I was really super happy to see. When I got home Skye was very happy to see me and felt great that she really took a liking too Anita.. I would definitely recommend and call Anita when I need someone to take care of Skye.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and caring for them is truly one of my favorite things. I’ve owned and cared for 10 dogs of all different breeds, personalities, and ages including labs, a husky, a French bulldog, a basset hound, and several rescue mutts. I’ve helped raise puppies, cared for senior pets, and worked with dogs who needed extra patience and understanding. I have also had cats my entire life, including my current 17 year old cat who I’ve grown up with. I understand that every cat is different and I love getting to know them at their own pace. In addition to my personal experience, I’ve volunteered with my local animal shelter for years. Through volunteering I’ve worked with dogs of all temperaments, including reactive and anxious dogs, and have learned how important patience, consistency, and positive interactions are. I am confident handling energetic dogs, nervous pets, and animals who need a little extra time to warm up. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you peace of mind that they’re in caring and capable hands. I know how hard it is to leave your pets behind, so I make sure to send plenty of photos and updates so you always know they’re happy and well cared for. I currently only work Monday-Thursday so my weekends are completely free for your pets! I can spend as much time or as little time as works best for my client with their pets. If you have a clingy pet that needs someone there with them all day I can do that or if you’re animal prefers some alone time and has a schedule to stick to I can also do that. Really whatever will make you and your pet the most comfortable I am happy to do! Since I am house sitting I can adapt to fit what your pet needs! I can follow a schedule if that’s what your pet needs or I am also comfortable with just going at your pets pace.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Carolina Forest
Cora did a wonderful job taking care of our dog and two cats while we were away. She communicated with us throughout our trip, responded quickly whenever we reached out, and sent photos and updates so we knew how everyone was doing. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our pets were in such caring and reliable hands. We would absolutely recommend Cora and would be happy to have her care for our pets again!
I booked Victoria to sit with my son’s 100 pound Mastiff and his 60 pound brother for three days in June of 26 while me and my son were on vacation. I couldn’t of made a better decision than choosing Victoria to sit with them. She showed up on time, was very attentive and kind to the dogs. I highly recommend her and if I could give her more stars I would.
Emily was WONDERFUL with Maddy and Nyjah. She went the extra mile to give them a lot of love and attention and put me at ease. She followed the directions I left and was so communicative with lots of updates. It was so nice to enjoy my trip knowing my babies were well taken care of.
We have two big (amazing) dogs and we can’t have them boarded because one of them gets bad anxiety and gets sick if he’s not home. Anthony was AMAZING with our dogs. Even though sometimes they can be a little intimidating when new people come to the house he came in and was very calm and patient with them and they ended up having so much fun. I am extremely happy with how their time with Anthony went and we will definitely be asking him to dog-sit again soon.

FAQs for House Sitting - Carolina Forest
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Carolina Forest on Rover is $46.62 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 421 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Carolina Forest. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Carolina Forest 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 Carolina Forest 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 Carolina Forest 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

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.
