About: I have life long experience with caring for different types of animals. My most experience comes from dogs (all sizes), cats, guinea pigs, and rats etc. I have experience pet sitting in particular for about 3 years now for family, friends, and others. I have personally cared for puppies/kittens, adults, and seniors. From bottle feeding all the way to the last moments. I currently work a full time job as a loan specialist between the hours 6AM-2:30PM during the week. I have lots of evening time and the weekends to take care of my own pets (feeding, walking, playing, going on trips) and would love to add others to my schedule for those that need or want some extra support. My care varies depending on the pet, their routine, behaviors, and owners preferences. I follow the guidelines and particular care of each animal to the owners interest and knowledge of their pet. Whether that be my friends dog who has to be crated with his one specific toy and his own radio turned to the gospel station to another owner’s instructions that their cats will only eat if you snap your fingers after putting down their bowl.
“Danny was prompt to arrive and took good care of our cockapoo puppy over a long weekend. He responded to inquiries quickly and shared pictures with us. We would definitely hire him again.”
“Stacey was amazing with my boxer, Piper! She is so sweet, very informative, and extremely reliable. She sent regular updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind on my long trip, and she even continued checking on Piper after the visit. It’s clear she genuinely cares about her pets, and I would absolutely book with her again!”
About: I've always had a passion for caring for animals, it started when I was a little girl and I bought my first dog all on my own. I currently own 5 dogs that I love, ranging from small to large breed. I'm available most days if contacted early enough I can make arrangements. I'm certified in canine massage therapy have been since 2009, have experience in a vet clinic for a number of years. Rest assure your pet will be well taken care of. I will also care for other animals not only dogs. I have experience with goats, cats, horses, snakes, birds, small animals and poultry. You name it, I've fed it. Look forward to meeting your family member please don't hesitate to ask any questions that you may have. I'm currently available for early morning (6am-9am) drop ins and afternoon drop ins (4-8pm). I can also house set with prior arrangements. I look forward to helping! I am an attention to detail person. I will care for your fur baby as it was my own, so you will have no worries while away. Your baby will be safe under my care/supervision.
“This was my first time boarding my dog, Pheobe, and needless to say she had a wonderful week here. Daily updates with photos/videos included, walks and lots of play and love. The communication was top notch, and she cared for Pheobe as if she was her own fur baby. A very trustworthy sitter & I will be booking again!”
“Our family took a 2 week vacation to Alaska this summer and we needed a house sitter to stay with our 2 dogs. Zeke is an elderly Pointer, who requires 1.a fair amount of supervision to keep him out of trouble; and 2. medication twice a day. Hazel is a 4 year old Pointer and has so much energy and spunk, she can be a lot to handle. Ariel came to our house twice prior to our departure to familiarize herself with the dogs and the house. She was at our house well before we left for the airport and settled into the house while we loaded the car. We were really nervous knowing we would be gone for such a long time. Zeke can and will get himself into situations where he swallows things he shouldn't and needs to be made to throw up. His elder brain is hard to make sense of sometimes. Ariel handled everything with grace and professionalism. She wasn't afraid to contact us and ask questions when she needed to. She sent us updates on their 'staycation' frequently. Ariel was very attentive and provided us with ease of mind. Our first 'pupdate' came when we were at the airport and from that moment on we stopped worrying and knew that the dogos were in great hands. I can't express enough the gratitude we have for Ariel. She was exceptional!!”
About: I’ve had my dog Chloe since she was a pup, I’ve crate trained her, she knows how to sit, shake, and speak when given a treat. I work full time but willing to work around my work schedule and my days off to take care of your fur baby to feed, walk, potty breaks. I care for my pets with lots of play time, cuddles, love and attention, walks in the neighborhood. I make sure I follow their routine schedule if they have one.
About: My mother was a foster of over 2000 animals, so animal care is in my heart and I’ve always strived to make animals lives better. Recently moved from Dallas, Tx. To Myrtle beach my availability is as open as it’s needed. Extremely punctual and value your time as much as my own. To my best degree, I have always believed that animals should be treated as an extension of yourself, with the same care, respect, and attention you give your own well being.
About: I’m a Wilmington, NC native who made my way to Myrtle Beach by way of NYC! I offer both boarding and house sitting, and if there’s one thing you should know about me- dogs are a huge part of my life. I live with my girlfriend, and our home is chaotic in the best possible way. We have three pups of our own and are active fosters with All 4 Paws Animal Rescue in Pawleys Island. We’ve fostered 20 dogs in 2026 alone, so trust me when I say, very little fazes us! Puppies, medications, quirky bedtime routines, escape artists, special needs, endless energy—you name it, we’ve probably experienced it, and we love it all. Our home has a large yard with a secure, 6-foot fence, giving pups plenty of room to run, play, and explore. After nearly 10 years in a high-stress corporate career, I was recently affected by a mass layoff and am embracing some much-needed time off. The silver lining? I now have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your furry family members! I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care. I’m more than happy to provide references from All 4 Paws rescue staff, as well as previous pet-sitting clients, upon request. Thanks so much for reading! I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pups! 🐾 I am home 24/7, outside of a few errands and outings, to be with your pet! We have a large fenced yard and frequent the dog park. I live with my partner and our 3 animals. We have a giant fenced yard and a room dedicated to the animals (crates, and litter box,etc.) Dogs are never unattended together- when we do leave the house for errands our dogs are crated.

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 Nakina 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 Nakina 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 Nakina 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 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.

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.
