“Once again Alicia & Richard come to the rescue when its time to care for our pets! They are wonderful humans and excellent pet people! We will continue to use them as long as we have pets. 😍”
About: I’ve spent over 15 years caring for animals ranging from household pets to farm animals. I’m patient, observant, and genuinely love building trust with shy or high energy pets. Safety, routine, and communication are my priorities. I currently work part-time as a server around 25–30 hours a week, which gives me plenty of time to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets. I’m flexible with scheduling and can make sure your pets receive the attention, exercise, playtime, feeding, and affection they need throughout the day. I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I closely follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise needs, and routines to reduce stress. I pay attention to behavior changes, keep spaces clean and secure, and make sure every pet receives patience, affection, supervision, and personalized care while their owner is away.
About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life. Big dogs, small dogs, shy cats, crazy cats, I love them all! You can rest assured your pet will be well taken care of. I do not work a job so I am available to meet all your needs for as little or as long as you need me. I can be trusted to keep your pets in my home. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room for exercise and play.
“Has come and walked Bolo multiple times. Often available on short notice. That works great for us since we don’t always know we need her in advance. We are always happy with her.”
About: My family has a dog of our own that I have helped care for, for 15 years! I’ve also helped take care of a few other dogs for vacationing families. I am not currently working anywhere else, so I can spend plenty of time loving on and caring for your pet as of right now! I am happy to accommodate any needs your pet requires to feel safe and comfortable! Whatever their eating, sleeping, and walking routine is, I will make sure to keep intact!

Please feel free to contact me, when my service's are needed and to make your life easier and to know, you will have nothing to worry about, when it come's to your babies. I have relocated to the Calabash area and have such a Love for animals, that I decided to take it on full time.

“I knew immediately that Tonya was going to be an outstanding pet sitter! You can just tell when someone truly has a love for animals and I got that vibe from her right away. She took great care of our senior dog and communicated with us the entire time we were away. I highly recommend Tonya and will most definitely be booking her again in the future!”
“Christian is a wonderful sitter. He did visits to my house so my dog could stay at home. Christian was reliable and consistent. Bode was happy and well cared for. I didn't worry about Bode at all when I was away. I highly recommend Christian.”
About: I have been around different breeds/mixed dogs and cats for most of my life. I always have enjoyed their unconditional love and companionship. I had the experience of assisting in the birth of our Chihuahua giving birth to 6 pups. At one point we had 5 dogs and a cat from breeds from a Italian Cane Corso to Chihuahua's. They have given me so much love and affection over the years. Not to mention caring for them in the end which is the most difficult. I'm currently retired and having recently relocated to the area. I would be a great fit to care for your pet while you are at work or away on vacation. My schedule is flexible and ready to be a pet giver to your fur baby. I will give them the upmost attention for all of their needs.
“I am so thankful I found Kathleen! She gave me such comfort since the moment I met her. Winston, my dog loved her as instantly as well. She was super caring and kind with my fur baby. She took such good care and gave me ease and peace in knowing my fue baby was in such good care. I highly recommend her. I know I can trust her! Thank you Kathleen so much again!! 😊💕👌🏽🙏🏽”
About: I've been caring for my own dogs—an 11-year-old Wheaten Terrier and a 4-year-old mixed breed—for years. I’m experienced in feeding, walking, and playing with them, and I make sure they get the care and attention they need every day. I’ve also helped take care of pets for family and friends, and I truly enjoy making animals feel loved and safe. I’m a Sophomore at Clemson University who is at home for the summer, so I have a very flexible schedule for check-ins and walks. This makes it easy for me to spend quality time with your pets throughout the day! I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love meeting new friends. I can crate your dog if needed and follow any specific routines or instructions you provide. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority!
About: Hello I’m Rylie! I love all animals especially dogs! I’m currently a college student looking to earn some extra money. As your dog sitter I promise to take care of your furry kid like it was my own, I’m very open to learning new routines, and I have a very flexible schedule. Also, I happen to have six dogs of my own and am very passionate about my job as a dog sitter. I strongly believe that animals aren’t just a pet they are part of the family. I love going on runs around the neighborhood, playing in the back yard and going to the local park with the dogs I sit. I look forward to meeting you and you’re beautiful family! Thank you. Rylie
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: Certified Professional Pet Sitter (CPPS) with a current background check, I began working in veterinary hospitals in 1982 and worked a total of ten years in this field. It was during this time that I began to pet/house sit. I took care of dogs, cats and birds and worked for several clients for 20+ years. During my time working in veterinary hospitals I learned how to administer sub-q fluids, insulin and liquid and pill medications. My immediate goal is to become a full-time dog sitter/walker which will allow me to spend thirty minutes to an hour with each dog in my care. I am a walker - I do not drive - so my focus will be on long walks and ample time spent at the dog run should the client so desire. I am very attentive, meticulous and responsible and welcome the opportunity to care for senior as well as special needs pets. Since this is my full-time job I am available seven days a week to morning, afternoon and early evening to cat sit or walk your dog. If the client has a fenced in yard I always make sure it is secure and well-lit before bringing the dog(s) outside. I only walk one dog at a time and always with a leash or harness.
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats for most of my life and have years of hands-on experience loving and caring for them. My pets are family, and I’ll treat yours the same way—with patience, attention, affection, and lots of love. Whether I’m stopping in for a visit or taking your dog for a walk, their safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my priority. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and will do my best to accommodate the times that work best for you. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’m experienced with both large and small dogs as well as cats, and I’ll carefully follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine. I understand that you’re trusting me with both your pet and your home, and I’ll treat both with care and respect.

I knew immediately that Tonya was going to be an outstanding pet sitter! You can just tell when someone truly has a love for animals and I got that vibe from her right away. She took great care of our senior dog and communicated with us the entire time we were away. I highly recommend Tonya and will most definitely be booking her again in the future!
Atina did a fantastic job caring for my pup (Violet)! Loved the updates and photos/videos… made me feel at ease leaving her alone at the house for an extended time. Violet really seemed to connect with Atina and upon my return I didn’t have the usual ‘fatigued’ dog I get when I board her. The whole experience was 5 stars! Thank you very much for the attention you gave her.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Little River stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Little River 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!
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 .

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Little River with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
