“Julie is absolutely the best! Our older dog loves her. She lets him walk at his pace. She is always on time and very good about responding right away when we book. We highly recommend her!!”
“Beth was simply amazing!! Highly recommend. She keep me updated when she arrived and sent pictures too! She loved on Milly like her own. 5 stars without a doubt!!!”
“I highly recommend Mary! She did daily drop-in check-ins for my four cats over a three-day period, and she was absolutely wonderful. My cats are incredibly high-maintenance and very picky eaters, so I am always a bit anxious leaving them. Mary handled their specific routines perfectly and made sure everyone ate well. It gave me total peace of mind while I was away. I will definitely be booking her again!”
“Amanda is great! She always takes pictures of Teddy, takes him for a walk, and makes sure that he has been fed and watered. He is so happy when I get back home. Thank you so much!”
“We are so glad we have Nicole to watch Hannah. She is always prompt and seems to have a good relationship with our dog. She goes the extra yard and communicates regularly. It is a great piece of mind to know she is there when we travel. Thanks Nicole!”
“Kat did an excellent job with my German Shepherd who had never been introduced to her before she came to let my dog out. Kat followed the directions perfectly and she sent a great photo of my dog enjoying her company. This was my first time using Rover and it was a great experience with a last minute request.”
About: I have had dogs for the past 25 years and they are a vital part of my life. I moved to the Murrells Inlet area last summer and would love to check in on your pup(s) or take them for a walk. I was a teacher for the past 25+ years and have always dreamed of spending more time with dogs. I am currently a dog caretaker at All 4 Paws Animal Rescue in Pawleys Island. I am available Monday through Friday for the time slot of your choice. I can do weekends if needed, but only early mornings. I am flexible with times. I would love to set up a time to meet you and your pet to make sure it is a good match. Message me with any questions you may have.
About: I’ve had animals from Guinea pigs,rodents, ferrets, cats, dogs,birds, etc. I’ve also volunteered at farms learning the proper care routines for several animals. I am planning to return back to school shortly for wildlife conservation while my first career path was a veterinarian. Ive always had a passion and genuine love for animals and making sure they’re properly cared for and I would love to be able to do that for the rest of my life hopefully soon!! I appreciate any care instructions or special tips for your loved ones. Otherwise I will do my best to make sure I’m properly educated on how to care for your family members and making sure they’re as comfortable and loved as can be :) I’m a non smoker pet free household. I’m currently working a classic 9-5. I have evenings open to care for your loved ones. I am also free on Sunday and Monday. I live in an apartment with a fenced dog park. I have no animals at home and do not smoke. I just love animals and wanna be able to bring the best care to them per your needs and your furry family.
“I knew I chose the right person to watch my cat when I met Julia. She is kind and very responsive. She showed a great deal of love and care for my cat. I will certainly use her again for future sittings.”
About: hi, I’m molly! I currently live with my 5 year old cat Zeke and 1 year old dog Remi! I have been around animals all my life and would love to meet yours! I work a 9-5 from home! I would love some more furbaby company during the day and this is the perfect fit for me. During my work hours it is super flexible and I have time to play and take on walks. I have a cat who does well with dogs and other cats. I have a huge area on my street to take on walks and there’s plenty of space to run around inside!
About: I have had dogs of my own since I was a child. I have been involved in fostering for local rescues & shelters for 5 years I have co-ran my own 501c3 rescue for almost 3 years I do work full time, so I am gone Monday- Friday from roughly 7A.M until 6 P.M. (depending on how far you are from my job). I drive Uber on the weekends during the summer months, but those hours are flexible & can vary based on your pet's needs. I have a fenced yard, but I have 3 senior dogs of my own and because of running the rescue, I usually have a foster dog as well so taking a dog into my home would be more challenging, but if I were to drop in or stay at your home, your dog(s) would get all of the one on one attention &time that they require
About: I have been pet sitting for a couple of years now, and I would say it’s one of my favorite things to do. Most of my gigs have consisted of overnight stays for usually about a week at a time or more. I have done mostly multi pet households, with both cats, dogs, and other exotic animals. I’ll even feed your chickens! I just love animals and pet sitting is one of my favorite hobbies. I’m new to the Rover app, but I am not new to pet sitting. I am currently getting my associates in early care and education while also working at a school. I’m only taking one night class so my days are pretty free for pet sitting! I only do work in clients homes, but I have experience putting dogs in crates or “pet proofing“ the house before I leave. I’m also very capable of giving medication to any animals that would need them and have a very watchful eye when I am at a clients house.
About: I've grown up with pets all my life, will take care of your loved ones when you cannot be there, also have flexible hours too I currently have two fur babies of my own but they are very self-reliant with a doggie door so I'm available to help with others I have a fenced-in backyard and a doggie door plus two very friendly dogs to keep your pet company, we welcome any pet that is not a spider

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!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Murrells Inlet is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 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 607 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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 .
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.

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.
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.
