About: I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember. My first job in high school was pet sitting, and then it grew from there. Throughout covid I would post on facebook groups offering to watch people’s animals. As the years went on I still loved pet sitting, and still watching the same animals I have all the previous years before! Ever since moving to south carolina full time I haven’t pet sat as often, but I would love to get back into it since I have a lot of free time now! I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, cats, lizards, and guinea pigs! Over the years I learned how to administrate oral injections and how to apply topical cream to animal. I also have experience with giving medication throughout the day, whether that’s administrating it by mouth or putting it in a treat for them! My schedule typically changes every week, but I am a server and I do not work full time. I am a recent Coastal Carolina graduate, and now have a lot of free time on my hands throughout the day! I would care for your animals just like I was caring for my own fur babies! I do have a cat at home, and if you needed me to keep your animal at my house, I would have no problem putting my animal in another room to keep your animal safe, if they didn’t get along. In my neighborhood I have two dog parks that are fenced in for outdoor activity. If needed to stay at clients home, I would treat the home as my own and act in a respectful manner. Main goal would be to take care of the pet and make sure they are in a safe/ fun environment!

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats frequently since middle school, often in house sitting settings as well. I have had dogs throughout my entire life and have many friends with cats and have spent ample time with them. I have dealt with numerous animals with health issues or problems, including older pets and puppies. I understand the value of all the little unique things that are important to an owner to ensure their pet is taken care of, healthy, protected and loved to their standard. My family rescued a puppy this past year, and I took on a large responsibility in training and watching him during his more crucial stages. I have worked with and spent time around multiple rescued animals and understand the value of creating a comfortable environment from them and extra care to detail as they often have triggers from past experiences. I also work with puppies through a local breeder and have learned a lot about puppies and their development. I am a skilled problem solver, know how to communicate well and can recognize when over-communication is important. I manage my time well and feel that people in my life would consider me an overachiever in all things I do. I love animals and miss having them to interact with while at school; therefore, time spent with them is always valuable to me. I am currently a full-time student at Coastal Carolina University and play club volleyball. I have always worked and played a sport full time alongside school, and after transferring here recently, I have found myself with time for a job. With a schedule that makes my routine look different day by day I have found this would be a great fit as I can be flexible in working with clients. My weekends are free and I have lots of longer gaps throughout my day between classes which could be valuable to those who have to leave their pets for long periods of time. I'm from colorado so going home is not an option for me often and widens my availbilty. I have experience working in apartments, houses, ect of all kinds. Often my pet care includes house sitting which I am very comfortable with. I understand the value and basic decency of respect to others homes and possesions. The golden rule is a fundamental aspect of how I operate in my day to day and I would never do something I wouldnt want done to me, my pets or my home. I am a very honest person and would not hesitate to communicate anything that happens in my time with clients pets or their homes. Honesty is the best policy and valuable in maintinging proper care. I am a great problem solver and have lots of experience with handling conflict. I have grown up very indepentdent and am confident people in my life would consider me to be highly reliable and responsible. Positions as team captains, tutoring and as an RA speak to these traits.

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for over 15 years, and caring for them is truly my passion! I have extensive experience caring for all types of animals, from newborn puppies and kittens to senior pets who need extra patience, specialized attention, and medication. I spent several years working at PetSmart in the grooming salon, where I cared for dogs and helped ensure they were comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I also volunteered for six years at an animal shelter in Prattville, Alabama, where I bathed animals, provided daily care, and gave them as much love and attention as possible. Every animal deserves kindness, compassion, and a safe place to feel loved. My experience with senior dogs is especially extensive. I currently care for a 13 year old Dachshund who uses a wheelchair for mobility and experiences seizures that require medication. This experience has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, close observation, and understanding each pet’s individual needs. I’m also a proud dog mom to seven wonderful dogs of my own: Bruno and Zarra, Great Pyrenees and Blue Heeler mixes; Chewie, a Pomchi; Ottie and Steel, Chihuahuas; Brody, a Golden Retriever and Pit Bull mix; and Rizzo, a German Shepherd. Having a diverse pack of my own has given me even more hands on experience with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. When your pets are in my care, I treat them like family not just another booking. I understand that your pets are precious members of your household, and trusting someone with them is a big deal. My goal is to make sure you feel confident and comfortable knowing your fur babies are receiving the same love, attention, and compassion I give my own. Whether your pet is a playful puppy, a curious kitten, an energetic adult, or a senior companion who needs extra care, I am here to help! I believe every animal deserves to feel safe, happy, comfortable, and loved. 🐶🐱❤️

About: I have had a dog all 18 years of my life. Most of this time we had two dogs, so I am used to handling multiple dogs at a time! I am home from college for the summer and do not work a part time job currently, with this free time, i am able to give these animals the care they need almost 24/7. In my home, I have a very friendly dog and also a fenced in yard where they can go run around and play in.

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and have been caring for animals since I was young. I have experience with dogs, cats, and more unique pets, including reptiles and small animals. My mom even has a possum and a snake, so I’m very comfortable with out-of-the-ordinary pets and special care routines. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on keeping pets safe, happy, and loved. I’m currently a college student at Coastal Carolina University and a member of the club cheer team. Outside of classes and practices, I have flexible availability and would love to spend my free time caring for pets. I am available during weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, not just a job to me. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I’ll follow any instructions you provide closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and special care needs. I treat every home and pet with respect, compassion, and responsibility. I make sure pets are always supervised, exercised appropriately, and given plenty of attention and affection. I believe animals thrive on kindness and consistency, and I strive to create a calm, loving environment so your pet feels safe and cared for while you’re away.

“Kortney did an amazing job with my dog nugget. Nugget is very nervous around new people and needs a lot of patience & love. Kortney was very kind and let nugget come to her at her own pace while taking great care of her! I highly recommend Kortney.”

There is no one else we trust with our elderly dogs than Julie. We are so grateful for her kindness and attention to our sweet dogs when we are gone. We hate leaving them as they get older bc it can cause them stress but not with Julie. They aren’t stressed at all! THey have so much fun and are at ease when we get home.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Murrells Inlet

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Murrells Inlet is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $30 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 592 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Murrells Inlet. 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.

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 Murrells Inlet 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 .

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.

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 .

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 Murrells Inlet with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

  • 96% 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.

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.
