About: I have 5 years of experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I truly love animals and treat every pet like they are my own. I’m comfortable with walking, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and giving pets plenty of love and attention. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable caring for your pet, and I’ll always make sure they are safe and happy! I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. I’m available on Mondays and Wednesdays, as well as weekends. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I will carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, or special needs. I’ll keep your pet supervised, give them plenty of attention, and treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own.
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: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience and genuine love for animals. I’m patient with puppies, gentle with seniors, and treat every pet like family. Pet care fits easily into my routine. I’m currently in school with classes only two days a week, so I have plenty of flexible time for walks, visits, feeding, and giving pets consistent attention and care. I care for pets by following their usual routines, including feeding, walks, and playtime. I provide attention, comfort, and a safe environment, whether in my home or theirs.
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: 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.

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 .

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 .
