“Second time I've booked with Cassandra and she was amazing once again! 3 dogs are not for the faint of heart but every picture sent they all looked happy and well taken care of! 10/10 will always recommend her services!!”
“Danny was prompt to arrive and took good care of our cockapoo puppy over a long weekend. He responded to inquiries quickly and shared pictures with us. We would definitely hire him again.”
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.
“I can not say enough about Kathleen! She went above and beyond in caring or our two pets (one dog and one cat). We were gone for over three weeks and she stayed in our home to care for them. She updated us daily while we were gone and was so attentive and loving to both of them. It made being away so much easier. She also took great care of our home and communicated with us constantly as we were also gone during a hurricane. I will use Kathleen every time we need to go away and I recommend her highly to anyone else that is considering to use her whether it is just for a walk of their pets or to care for them on a long term basis!”
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!

She really made me comfortable and really cared about Rogan. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again! 5 stars for sure!”
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.
About: Hi! I’m a dependable and attentive pet sitter who genuinely loves animals and treats every pet like family. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I always focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I’m great with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medication routines, and keeping owners updated with photos and messages throughout the day. Whether your dog loves long walks, cuddles on the couch, or extra patience and calm attention, I adjust to their needs. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented. Your pet’s safety and happiness always come first, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re in good hands. I’d love to meet you and your furry family member! I’m currently working full time from home, but my hours are super flexible. I’m able to take many breaks. I have responsible transportation. I will follow all instructions as given. I am a very responsible pet owner and would treat your fur baby as I treat my own.
“Robert took care of my five creatures over the weekend. He was very reliable, staying until we arrived home for a pass off. He did well with our dog’s big energy and our cats need for a calm presence. I’m convinced the house is as clean if not cleaner than when I left. He was responsive with updates and photos. He was able to give my cats their meds despite their best efforts to avoid or dissuade him. I will absolutely be reaching out to him again, the next time we need someone to stay with our animals.”
“Jessica and Kayla were amazing, highly recommend! They took wonderful care of our two dogs and house while we were away for a week, and provided us with updates. We will definitely be using them again in the future :)”
About: ASK ABOUT MY PERSONAL DISCOUNTED PRICING AND SERVICES (Cleaning, Organizing, etc.) I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and have had three family dogs and two cats who have been part of my life since I was about 12. I’ve also helped care for many other family and friends’ pets over the years, including dog & cat sitting and house sitting. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and personalities, from small dogs who want to be attached to your hip to big dogs who need plenty of exercise. I’ve cared for pets with special diets, medications or other medical needs, specific exercise routines, and particular sleeping arrangements. I understand that every pet is different, so I don’t expect them all to have the same routine or personality. My goal is to follow what works for your pet and make them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I’m also happy to keep up with basic training routines, puppy energy, senior pets who need a slower pace, and pets who simply need a little extra patience and attention. I work a set Monday through Friday schedule at my full-time job in Myrtle Beach from 7:30 AM to 3:00 PM, so my availability is consistent and predictable rather than changing from week to week. I’m available for pet care before or after work during the week, and I have much more flexibility on Saturdays and Sundays. I have a reliable car and am willing to travel up to about 45 minutes for the right booking. Because my work schedule is set, I’m able to plan ahead and be consistent with visits, walks, feedings, medications, and other routines your pets are used to. I provide pet care in the client’s home rather than bringing pets into my own home. I know that having someone stay in or regularly enter your home is a big part of trusting a pet sitter, so I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, make sure pets don’t have access to anything unsafe, and keep their normal routines as consistent as possible. I’m also respectful of your home and belongings and will leave things the way I found them. For walks and outings, I pay attention to each pet’s individual behavior and comfort level.
About: I have years of experience caring for animals, including my own two dogs and previous work in veterinary care and pet sitting. I provide loving, reliable care tailored to each pet’s needs. While caring for my own two dogs and cat, I maintain a structured schedule that allows me plenty of time to care for clients’ pets. I provide trusted drop ins, walks, and overnight stays for locals and visitors. I care for pets in their homes by keeping their routines consistent, providing meals, fresh water, walks, playtime, medications if needed, companionship, and a safe, comfortable environment while owners are away.
“Zionna is fabulous! She has an upbeat and optimistic energy and our dogs really loved her from the meet and greet on. She sent us regular updates/pictures. She left our home looking clean and tidy. We had peace of mind and really enjoyed having her house sit for us, we will definitely be reaching out to her again!”
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! I have been apart of the Rover community for around 5 years now. I am constantly around animals and having to commit myself to taking care of them. I am comfortable around all dogs and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving them. I would love to be able to take them to the dog park where they can also interact with other animals while you’re away! I am currently home full time and am available for drop ins or house sittings when needed! I am also flexible and can accept last minute bookings. When in your home, I would love to take your fur babies for walks, to dog parks, anything you already do with them to make them the most comfortable! My attention is on my love for animals so I have plenty of availability to care for your pets. I’m available on weekdays anytime and most weekends I will make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times. I’m happy to follow your instructions and keep their routine consistent!

Rob is great!! That is the first time we have left our pup with someone to go out of town. Our dog loved him and he went above and beyond, doing much more than we asked. HIGHLY recommend! It was a huge relief finding someone contentious and reliable. He is our new dog sitter for sure!

The average cost of House Sitting in Little River is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $47 and $73 per night.

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 , 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.
