“Kristen was great! She was communicative while setting up a meet and greet and during her stay with Penny. Penny got lots of attention and exercise. I’ll definitely book her go watch my rescue dog again!”
“Kat did an awesome job watching my two boys while petsitting at my house. It almost looked as if Jackson (my dog) was disappointed to see me instead of her when I came home. She even watered my plants which look better than they did when I left. Would highly recommend and will rebook in the future!”
“Grace did a fabulous job with our 2 pups. Her stay was for overnight in our home for just shy of a week. This was our first time using Grace. The pups took to her right away. Our home was spotless when we got back. I would definitely recommend Grace for any of your pets needs. Reliable and responsible!!”
“Kelly was absolutely amazing! She watched our crazy dog for the weekend and treated him and our home like her own. Her dog, Kava is an absolute sweetheart and was fast friends with Remus. Don’t hesitate to book her!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life, growing up with cats, dogs, and just about every other pet you can imagine! I had the joy of raising a black lab for 12 amazing years, and now am lucky to share life with my happy, energetic red lab, Gus. I adore all animals and understand that every pet is unique. What sets me apart is my experience with both puppies and senior dogs, my dedication to making pets feel loved and safe, and my willingness to go the extra mile, whether it’s beach walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply giving them attention and care while you’re away. I treat every pet as part of my family, so you can relax knowing they’re in caring, trustworthy hands. I have a flexible schedule and do my best to accommodate a variety of needs, including daytime, evenings, and weekends. I’m happy to work with your routine and can often adjust timing when needed. Feel free to reach out with your specific schedule and I’ll do my best to make it work! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every pet like my own and always make sure they feel secure, cared for, and well supervised. I pay close attention to behavior, surroundings, and any specific instructions you provide. I’m reliable, responsible, and always focused on creating a calm, positive environment! You can expect regular updates and photos so you feel confident and connected while you’re away.
“Perfect match! Sophie is very particular about who watches her, and because of that we are always worried about who we pick . Craig was immediately accepted by Sophie and even gave kisses at the end of their time together! Craig sent updates and pictures capturing the fun they had together. We will definitely use Craig again!”
“Jo-Anne is THE BEST! She was very communicative and took time to send thoughtful updates which I really appreciated. In addition to being such a great caregiver to Darla she left my home in immaculate condition which she did not need to do. I look forward to having Jo-Anne back anytime! You will, too.”
“Alyssa has gone above and beyond! She went out of her way to sit for us at the last minute. She has a great way with animals and takes such great care of them! Great communication, she sends pictures and updates and gives great peace of mind. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Janelle has been an amazing sitter for my boy, Cargo! My mind is assured that Cargo will be well taken care of when I travel. I appreciate the updates throughout the day ! She is respectful of my home and is very passionate about what she does! Highly recommend!”
“Kristen did a very nice job housesitting and caring for our dog Sasha. Kristen was easy to engage, very communicative, and very responsible. I give her five stars! We will be using her again.”
“We absolutely love Tawny taking care of our Pearl! She and her daughter spent a week here and we loved seeing the two become the best of friends! Tawny makes sure to take care of your place - to include laundry, dishes, trash, even cleaning it up before we arrived home - all without being expected of her. She really does go above and beyond and she will be our forever fur babysitter! Pearl adores her and her daughter so that’s obviously a huge bonus!”
“Lindsay stayed at our house for a few days while we were out of town. She watched our fur babies like they're her own. Will definitely use her services again - actually, we already have her booked for an October trip we're taking!”
“Robert does a wonderful job caring for my dogs while I’m away. I get photos while I’m gone and when I get home it’s like I never left. They get lots of cuddles and play time too!”
“Emma was fantastic! She was very loving towards both pups, sent pictures throughout the weekend, took care of watching & caring for our house as well. We really could tell our pups felt at ease around her and they loved having her! Will definitely use Emma again!”
“We were in need of a sitter on short notice and we are so glad to have met Beth Ann thru Rover! While away she sent pics and kept us informed of how he was doing. Just two days before we were to leave, Cruz had injured his paw! We called Beth Ann to let her know what else would be involved with her stay with Cruz. She reassured us she’d be just fine with giving him the meds, the cone he’d have to wear and extra care he may need with this injury! This was so comforting to hear just days before leaving him for the weekend! Beth Ann pulled thru yet again when our flight home was delayed unexpectedly a day! Very happy with Beth Ann’s care for our “Cruzie bear” and we’ll definitely be reaching out to her again!”
“Abigail (Ebbi) was very sweet, patient and kind. She took wonderful care of our 2 dogs at our home while we were out of town. Would definitely recommend her and she’ll put your mind at ease in leaving your fur babies behind. We’ll definitely use her again if the need arises. Thank you so much Ebbi!!😍 Ruby and Joy also thank you! Woof! Woof! 🐾🐾”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Murrells Inlet
Since I am retired, my two cats are accustomed to me being at home most of the time, so I was a reluctant to leave them alone for ten days with a pet sitter just coming in a couple times a day to feed them. So, Mary S. was a house sitter as well as a pet sitter while I was gone. Both cats were very content upon my return, which I attribute to the care and attention they received from Mary S. I recommend her highly and would use her again in a heartbeat.

FAQs for House Sitting - Murrells Inlet
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Murrells Inlet on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 354 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Murrells Inlet. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Murrells Inlet 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 Murrells Inlet 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 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!
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.
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 .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Murrells Inlet. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
