“Casandra was amazing! I asked her to pup sit last minute over the holiday and she responded promptly and took great care of my dogs! Plenty of updates and pictures while we were away.”
“Lauren communicates well and returns messages quickly. She was very flexible and accommodating. She came to my house twice and was familiar with our dogs prior to the service date. I highly recommend her.”
“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!”
“Brooklyn was excellent with our pups and bird. She was attentive to their needs and provided daily updates and pictures. She accommodated our early return for an emergency. Would not hesitate to use her again. Thank you”
“Daniel does a fantastic job taking care or our Lab. He spends time with him and interacts is always on time and house sits for several days also when we need him. HIGHLY recommend Daniel for your pet/house sitting needs.”
About: I am a recent graduate from Swarthmore College. I’m in North Myrtle Beach for the summer and looking to walk some dogs! Back at Swarthmore I started a dog walking business during my 4 years and would love to continue walking dogs here! I have work from 9:30-4pm in Midtown so I’m available before and after. I also am hybrid so multiple days a week I’ll be working from home and more flexibility. Of course if I were to be in your house due to pet sitting I would make sure to leave the house exactly as it was when I arrived. I’ve had dogs all my life and know the care that they need and deserve. I’ve also taken care of dogs in their own houses and feel comfortable making a safe environment for them and make sure they don’t miss their owners too much!
“Rob took very good care of our boy Toby, sent us daily updates with pictures and videos which lowered our anxiety and made our trip more enjoyable. He followed all our instructions to a "T" to keep Toby on track with our daily routine with feeding times, walks and playtime. We would recommend Rob to anyone looking for a live-in dog-sitter to care for their pet.”
About: I have had a pet for as long as I can remember! From dog, cat, Guinea pig, hamster, bunny you name it! I love animals and I would love to help their parents/owners make their life better by walking them, keeping them company, or just checking up on them while their parents are away. I hate the idea of them being left at home along for too long. I have experience dog sitting for my cousins at their house for multiple days in a row! I have been dog sitting for them for 3 years now:) I am a Graphic designer with a remote role that allows me to choose my hours! I love walking and dogs so I thought why not combine the two while helping others take care of their pups while they away at work:) I would treat them like they were my own dogs:) animals are sweet and they deserve to be treated like our best friends. if they ever got dirty under my care I’d be sure to clean them before they went home!
“Allen was great! I needed a last minute sitter and Allen was the perfect choice. Great communication and put up with my silly dogs with no complaints. Left my house in great condition. I look forward to having him stay with my beasties again. Thank you so much! 💜”
“Cassandra did a wonderful job watching my dog and cat while staying over at my house. My pets were happy and calm when i returned home. The house was very neat and all instructions were followed with care. I loved getting daily updates and photos. I feel comfortable having her care for my pets again. I don't have any worries or stress about going away again other than Cassandra not being available. I highly recommend her to care for your pets too!”
“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.”
“Mae was very communicative, prompt and courteous. Did a great job taking care of our pooch. She helped us on short notice I would recommend. And we plan to use her again in the near future. Thank you Mae”
“I cannot say enough good things about Tawny! She went above and beyond while caring for my dogs and home. Taking care of multiple large-breed dogs is no small task, but she handled everything with professionalism, patience, and so much love. My dogs were happy, well-cared for, and clearly comfortable with her. Not only did she ensure their routines were followed perfectly—including feeding, exercise, and playtime—but she also took the time to give them the extra attention and affection they need. She kept me updated with messages, pictures, and videos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. On top of caring for my dogs, Tawny also looked after my home as if it were her own. Everything was spotless when I returned, and I could tell she had gone the extra mile to keep things in order. If you’re looking for a responsible, kind, and truly dedicated pet sitter, I wholeheartedly recommend Tawny. She is a gem, and I will absolutely be booking her again in the future!”
“Stacey was amazing with my boxer, Piper! She is so sweet, very informative, and extremely reliable. She sent regular updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind on my long trip, and she even continued checking on Piper after the visit. It’s clear she genuinely cares about her pets, and I would absolutely book with her again!”
“Lindsay stayed at our house for a few days while we were out of town. She watched our fur babies like they're her own. Will definitely use her services again - actually, we already have her booked for an October trip we're taking!”
About: I am an ARMY veteran. I love dogs and they love me. I would rescue them all if I could. They are definitly angels on Earth. I am a very active person. I love being outside and or being around dogs. They deserve the absolute best in life. So I will do my part to make them happy. I make sure they are well taken care of.

FAQs for House Sitting - Little River
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Little River on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 411 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Little River. 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 Little River 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 Little River 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 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!
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.
