“Jeffrey is extremely punctual, attentive and trustworthy! He lets my dog out every day during the week and is someone I can count on! Very thankful!”
“Beth was fantastic! She kept me updated with every visit. Pictures of my pups were included with every visit. She went above and beyond to take care of my babies and I can’t thank her enough!”
“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Julie to look after our sweet puppy Bailey for a week, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment we first met, it was clear that Julie has a genuine love for animals and a professional approach to pet sitting. Throughout the week, she provided daily updates with photos and detailed notes about how my pets were doing. It was comforting to know that they were in such capable hands. Julie followed all of my instructions carefully, ensuring that feeding times, walks, and play sessions were consistent with my pets' routines. Bailey absolutely adored her and it was obvious they were well cared for and happy when I returned. I highly recommend Julie to anyone in need of a reliable, caring, and responsible pet sitter. I will definitely be booking her again in the future! Thank you Julie, for taking such great care of our Bailey.”

Our dogs have been looking for her out the window all day long! We received very detailed descriptions of her visit and got to see many great pictures of our pups and the fun adventures she took them on!”
About: I've been volunteering to care for my friends and family's pets since before I can remember. While I’ve always owned kitties throughout my life, doggos hold a very special place in my heart. From poms to danes I've enjoyed every minute of caring for canines of any age, breed, and personality. I love to send updates and photos, and am very comfortable administering medications for both cats and dogs (injections, pills, ear and eye drops). I'm happy to walk, run, snuggle, and talk with your pet and am an expert at head scratches and belly rubs. I know all too well that one of the biggest challenges to traveling is finding care for your pet that ensures they don’t feel alone or bored while you’re away. I am happy to perform any routines that would make your pet most comfortable (Are they used to having a fetch session after dinner? Does your kitty expect snuggles on a particular chair in the living room?). Whatever level of care you need to know your fur baby is safe while you’re away, I’m here for it. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets! I work from home on a loose schedule - so care at any hour is no problem! Happy to take my laptop with me to spend more time with your fur baby between virtual calls. However your pet is used to spending their day, I’m happy to oblige. In the past I’ve worked for a few hours from a client’s living room to get more snuggle time in. I’m happy to play, snuggle, feed, and care for your pet to make sure they feel the love in your absence!
“Absolutely amazing sitter!! Would love to use her again. We left our puppy alone for the first time and he did not behave!!!! But she was so understand and kind and patient and I can’t appreciate that enough!”
About: I've had pets of my own for most of my life, and have easily made 'friends' with family and friends pets. I'm trusted by many friends and family to watch there dogs over the course of a weekend trip. I tend to treat them like children! Range of care for pets are from puppy to senior care. Exercising them with a game of fetch, or slow paced to their needs. I'm currently growing a mobile grooming business, and building a clients list from the ground up. Pets are my passion! I'm available many days-any day of the week to help take care of your pet! I have a fenced in backyard, and 4 friendly dogs that are welcoming of other dogs! We allow pets on couches and beds. We do have a 13 and 7 year old in the house that have grown up around dogs, and are gentle and kind! When caring for pets in your home, I'm respective of your space, and make sure your pet is loved, freshened water and food when needed. Treats are a perk!
About: I’ve been surrounded by cats ever since I was born, over the years I’ve had 6 cats! Currently I am taking care of my own kittens Randall and Penny my baby girl! Recently my boyfriend and I got a golden retriever puppy, he’s only 12 weeks old! I’d love to take care of your puppies and kitties too! I have a very flexible schedule and would love to help out. I am currently working pretty minimal hours. My schedule is very flexible, early morning, mid day, and evenings are usually open. Reoccurring visits are welcome! I care for my kittens Randall and Penny dearly, they always has a full bowl of food and water, as well as a sparkling litter box. When they want, I give them lots of treats, brushes and playtime.
“Ashlyn was very flexible with our needs. She sent us pictures and was always very timely. We definitely trust her with our fur baby and are very pleased with her services. Our puppy always looked happy to see her! Highly highly recommend!”
About: I am a previous dog owner of 16 years. I unfortunately lost them both a few years back and looking for a dog to walk or sit with as this would fill my heart! They do truly bring me joy. I am currently a dog walker for one other dog in my neighborhood. I am a current p/t caregiver for my dad with dementia and I am looking for a p/t job as a walker or dog sitter. This is great therapy for me. I love being outside and I love to walk. I am a compassionate and patient person with animals and with people that are looking for help. If I am in another person’s home, I would treat their pet and their home as if it were my own. I am willing to play with your pet, walk and give treats and food as needed.
About: I have several pets of my own and have several references if needed for people who I have sat for. I am a retired nurse, and I’m able to administer shots if necessary to animals such as diabetics. I currently have my own business called Joanne second home. I have done this for years and babysitting. Cats works well within my schedule. I enjoy taking care of cats and have four years. I prefer to babysit your cat in your home as they feel more comfortable in their own surroundings. I tend to try to play with them. I clean the litter box every time I go in I have also made sure that their water bowls are clean every day.
About: Hey! I’m Miranda, a local Grand Strand dog lover who knows how hard it can be to leave your pup behind, especially when you’re traveling or working all day. I’m based in the Murrells Inlet area and can help with dogs throughout Murrells Inlet, Garden City, Surfside Beach and Pawleys Island. Whether you need a quick walk, a drop-in visit, or someone to care for your dog while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I’m especially comfortable with dogs who love attention, walks, playtime and plenty of cuddles. I’m also big on keeping you updated while you’re gone. You’ll get photos, little updates and peace of mind knowing how your pup is doing. I have a dog of my own, Lady, who is part of the family and absolutely loves being outside, going for rides and enjoying the Grand Strand lifestyle. Since I live in such a dog-friendly area, I also understand that many of my clients may be visiting the beach with their dogs. If you’re staying in Murrells Inlet, Surfside or Pawleys and need someone to give your pup some attention while you head out for dinner, spend the day on the boat, hit the beach or do something dogs can't join you for, I’d be happy to help. My goal is simple: you enjoy your time away, and your dog gets spoiled while you're gone. 🐶❤️ I’ll always treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I’d expect for my own. I am currently working mostly out of my home, so taking our furry friends for walks around Murrells inlet, Garden City beach or parks would fit well into my schedule. I have a friendly 8 year old Chihuahua mix, whom we adopted 4 years ago. We do live in a stilted home so pups that are able to walk up stairs are going to be important if you choose to have your pups over at our home.
“Grace is absolutely amazing! We called her our pups “saving Grace” ;) we had a bit of an odd request. We were coming down for our wedding from Virginia and brought our 10 month Great Dane/lab mix pup with us. He has some separation anxiety when he’s in new places and we didn’t want him destroying our rental house. Grace came to us and sat with him while we were out doing wedding festivities. She was responsive to us, sent us pictures and we knew our pup was safe. Had 0 issues or concerns. If we ever come back to Myrtle Beach with Maverick we will be contacting Grace again and HIGHLY recommend her.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Murrells Inlet
Rebekah did a great job watching our two timid foster kitties. It took a couple days, but they started coming out while she was here, and she was able to hand feed treats to one of them. We’ve been working on getting them socialized for 6 months now, and it’s heartwarming to see them come around to someone new so quickly. I loved getting her comments and pictures after each visit! We will definitely book with Rebekah again!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wendy was amazing! She took great care of our dog and cat while we were away for the weekend. We got updates and photos, and both pets looked so happy and comfortable when we got home. Highly recommend her if you need someone loving and dependable to care for your animals!

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 .

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.
