About: Being a mother of 2 and having grown up with animals my whole life, I know how important it is to leave your “babies” in the hands of someone you can trust. I’ve grown up with pets and have 20+ years experience caring for them. I have had dogs mostly but have cared for cats, birds and gerbils. I would describe myself as nurturing, responsible, active, and fun! I work from home so I am free and available to care for your pet and am able to provide frequent potty breaks and care. I live in an apartment and I am not strict about animals on the couch or bed. I live in a great neighborhood, next to parks, open fields and the beach, perfect for dog walking and outside activities!
About: I’ve grown up around both dogs and cats my entire life and currently care for three cats and a dog of my own, so I understand different personalities, routines, and needs. As a cat person, I’m especially patient and attentive with shy or independent pets, and I genuinely enjoy spending time walking dogs and keeping them active and happy My schedule changes a bit due to working two part-time jobs, but I’m communicative, reliable, and always happy to make time for furry friends whenever I can I provide house sitting, and dog walking with a flexible schedule. With lifelong experience around dogs and cats, I offer reliable, attentive care focused on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy
About: I have life long experience with caring for different types of animals. My most experience comes from dogs (all sizes), cats, guinea pigs, and rats etc. I have experience pet sitting in particular for about 3 years now for family, friends, and others. I have personally cared for puppies/kittens, adults, and seniors. From bottle feeding all the way to the last moments. I currently work a full time job as a loan specialist between the hours 6AM-2:30PM during the week. I have lots of evening time and the weekends to take care of my own pets (feeding, walking, playing, going on trips) and would love to add others to my schedule for those that need or want some extra support. My care varies depending on the pet, their routine, behaviors, and owners preferences. I follow the guidelines and particular care of each animal to the owners interest and knowledge of their pet. Whether that be my friends dog who has to be crated with his one specific toy and his own radio turned to the gospel station to another owner’s instructions that their cats will only eat if you snap your fingers after putting down their bowl.
About: My mother was a foster of over 2000 animals, so animal care is in my heart and I’ve always strived to make animals lives better. Recently moved from Dallas, Tx. To Myrtle beach my availability is as open as it’s needed. Extremely punctual and value your time as much as my own. To my best degree, I have always believed that animals should be treated as an extension of yourself, with the same care, respect, and attention you give your own well being.
“Ryan was an amazing dog sitter! He was attentive, caring, and kept great communication throughout. My dogs were very comfortable with him, and I felt completely at ease while away. I’d definitely book with him again!”
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.

About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and caring for them is something I truly love. I have three cats of my own, including one with special needs, so I'm experienced with providing extra patience and medical care when needed. I also fostered for a dog rescue, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities—from playful puppies to senior dogs, anxious pups to confident companions, and those with special needs. I'm comfortable administering medications and always strive to make every pet feel safe, loved, and right at home. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life!

I follow their normal routines, from meals and medications to walks, playtime, and cuddle time. I’m comfortable with all personalities, from confident pups to shy cats, energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience. Every pet gets personalized care, because they’re family, not just a booking.

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 Longs 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 Longs 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 Longs 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.
