“It was difficult leaving my babies, but with Lee she reassured us and she was huge help! She followed our difficult instructions, and kept us updated with pictures and texts. Definitely be using her again.”
About: I offer a highly personalized, attentive style of care that focuses on each pet’s unique needs and routines. I have experience with puppy care, senior pets, and animals who require extra patience, structure, or gentle support. I’m committed to reliable communication, consistent updates, and creating a calm, comfortable environment for every pet I look after. My goal is to make each pet feel safe, understood, and cared for just as they are at home. I have been taking care of pets since I was 12 years old and would love the opportunity to care for your furry friends :) I am a recent college graduate from Appalachian State University and will be starting my master’s degree program at UNCW in the fall. I reside in the Brunswick/North Myrtle Beach area and will be living at home during this time so my availability is super flexible! I am more than willing to willing to work around my schedule to accommodate for your furry friend to have a companion! 🐾 I take time to learn each pet’s likes, dislikes, and unique routines so I can mirror their normal day as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I maintain their familiar environment, minimizing stress by keeping their feeding areas, rest spots, and daily patterns unchanged. I also provide updates, photos, and messages so owners can feel confident and connected while they’re away!
About: I’ve grown up with dogs in the house! I rescued my first dog 4 years ago and she is my best friend. My boyfriend and I recently adopted a second dog from the humane society last year. He is a great new addition to the family. I enjoy taking care of animals and can’t wait to meet yours. I am available for drop ins and dog walks! I work part-time as a personal trainer. I also work for a parasailing company in the summer months! I currently have breaks throughout the day in-between clients! I will take care of your dogs as well as your home! I clean up any messes made and I will let you know if I run into any issues.
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have cared for dogs of all kinds since I was young. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive, and I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to provide walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, cuddles, and plenty of attention. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Your pets will be treated with the same love and care I give my own. I’m currently not working, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays, and I can accommodate walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and keep you updated while you’re away I have a secure fenced yard where dogs can safely get fresh air, exercise, and play. I have two friendly dogs of my own, and I’m happy to introduce them carefully and make sure every pet is comfortable. I can follow your pet’s normal feeding, walking, and medication routines, and I can crate your dog if needed. Safety, supervision, and making your pet feel at home are always my priorities.
“We are home and Moose was well taken care of. No accidents in the home and he was relaxed. Sam listened to all are instructions and was very good at communicating with us and giving us updates. Would definitely recommend using Sam.”
“Brook is incredibly attentive to our dog Daisy & she was always on time, communicated throughout & went above and beyond our expectations taking care of Daisy. I will continue to book Brook & cannot say enough positive things about her!”
“My nickname for Abigail is "Dr. Doolittle" because she is absolutely fantastic and has an amazingly uncanny way with animals! On very short notice I booked her to look after my 4 dogs, one rabbit and 3 fish and she took it all on with complete ease and professionalism. I was most worried about my oldest dog Cheech who is a 15 year old rescue with serious trust issues with people in general. Within a day Abigail had him approaching her for pets (basically unheard of for him with strangers) and by the end of her time with him he was allowing her to give him full body cuddles. An absolutely stunning show of trust with her! As for the other 3 pups...they could not get enough tummy rubs, cuddles, kisses and attention from their new friend Abigail and her little daughter Dakota (also an animal lover)! All four pups and the bunny were spoiled rotten with attention and love for the 4 days I was out of town. In addition, she went out of her way to cook up some chicken I had purchased as a treat for the dogs but had not had time to get to before I left. She took it home, cooked it up, and brought it to the pups so they could have their favorite topping on their daily meals with her...she genuinely cares that the animals she is looking after feel safe and secure and loved even though their owner is away! Abigail sent photos and updates during the whole weekend which really put my mind at ease that my herd was behaving themselves and having a ball in the process! I cannot recommend Abigail enough and so look forward to treating my little menagerie to her excellent care in the future!”
“Alicia and Richard are great. They took care of my cat for a week, two visits a day. They were always on time and reported my cat's status each time. My cat greeted them at the door and allowed them to pet him and comb him. We were worried in leaving him for so long but he was in good hands and he did well. Thank you for such great care!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Dace has provided our 3 fur babies! She helped us be letting our dogs our while we were working long hours, spent time playing with them, and made sure they had everything they needed. It was such a relief knowing our dogs weren’t alone all day without being able to have a mid-day playtime outside, and were genuinely cared about. The extra attention and playtime had made a huge difference for them being able to get some extra energy out!”
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.
“Debra is terrific! She has taken fantastic care of our cat on multiple occasions and watched over our house while we were away. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for pet sitting with no reservations. Excellent sitter and wonderful person.”
About: I've been around dogs a majority of my adult life. They are god's creatures and I will give tons of love to them! They give unconditional love --- and want to give it right back to them. I'm retired now and love all fur babies so I can totally work with anyone's schedule! I know that pets are part of the family so take pet sitting/walking very serious. I can totally go to client's home and be a supportive pal as their loved ones are away. Exercise is so important so whether it's ball play time or a long walk --- I'm excited in my little way to make them feel comfortable and safe!
“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.”
“Katie was great! Very kind and attentive to Maverick and punctual for his drop in visits. She kept us updated with pictures too. I would rebook with her in the future and recommend to others in the area!”
About: I’ve had my dog Chloe since she was a pup, I’ve crate trained her, she knows how to sit, shake, and speak when given a treat. I work full time but willing to work around my work schedule and my days off to take care of your fur baby to feed, walk, potty breaks. I care for my pets with lots of play time, cuddles, love and attention, walks in the neighborhood. I make sure I follow their routine schedule if they have one.
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Little River
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Little River is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $37 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 702 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Little River. 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Little River. On Rover:
- 92% 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
