“Andie and her husband Mike are about as perfect pet sitters as we could ask for our two dogs. Everything others said in their reviews is totally true! They understand dogs, pamper them, enjoy them, and also make sure we owners feel comfortable leaving them there while we’re gone. Andie is a gem!”

“Nicole was so kind and attentive to our Sophie. She kept us in the loop on how Sophie was doing, with pictures and messages. This was the first time we have tried an online kennel scheduling, and Nicole gave us stellar service.We will be using her again soon! Thank you Nicole for taking care of our girl.”

“Caitlyn, well, my pup calls her aunt caitlyn has been amazing! Very patient with my little guy and in one visit, he didnt want to come home. Caitlyn responds immediately and her own dogs love the company!! We give her an above average rating.”

“My dogs seemed to be on their own vacation with Oceana- she took them for walks on the beach & to the marsh. I got daily photo updates & texts about their daily activities. I will be using her services when I go out of town in the future!”


“The absolute best! From the moment we met her, I felt completely comfortable leaving Billie in her care. She is incredibly personable, caring, and attentive. Billie came home happy, exhausted from all the fun, and clearly showered with love and attention. She also had a great time playing with her adorable pup! We couldn’t be happier with the experience and can’t wait to book again. Highly recommend!”

“Jenn was amazing- very responsive via messenger and communicated with us throughout the process. Sent us pictures and videos of our dog to reassure us he was having a fabulous time! I highly recommend her to dog parents visiting Myrtle Beach!!!”

“Maddie and Granger were awesome! Chessie had such a good time and was exhausted when she got home—a good sign, for her! She even ate for Maddie, which is astonishing—she is sooo finicky! We got pictures and video and could definitely tell she was having fun. When she got home she curled up on the sofa and crashed. We can’t wait for her to go back!”

“We recently made a last-minute trip to Myrtle Beach and were incredibly fortunate to find Craig through our dog boarding service. From the very beginning, Craig was exceptionally accommodating, understanding our need for flexibility with pick-up and drop-off times. His willingness to adjust his schedule allowed our dogs to join us on the beach and truly enjoy the experience. Craig’s kindness and dedication to the well-being of our pets were evident throughout, and we couldn’t have asked for a better person to look after them. Thank you, Craig, for your outstanding service and for making our vacation stress-free. We highly recommend Craig to anyone in need of reliable and caring pet care!”

“We had a great experience boarding our lab with Jacklyn. She clearly treated him like family. Her pets welcomed Moose nicely, as well. Loved the photos and videos. We definitely plan to book again for any future trips.”

“Laura was wonderful!!! We got pictures each day and every one of them showed our Stella looking happy and feeling at home. It’s a strange feeling to leave your dog with someone you’ve never met but Laura put us at ease and made our trip to the area perfect. We would highly recommend her!”

“Excellent communication with daily updates & pictures! Accommodating with early departures and flexible with our schedules. Gave her lots of exercise and treated her like part of their family! Would highly recommend and wouldn't hesitate to use their help again!”

About: Hi! My name is Alyssa, and I'm 28 years old. Animals have been one of the biggest parts of my life for as long as I can remember, and I've spent all 28 years of my life with animals by my side. If you're looking for someone who will care for your pet like they're part of the family, you've come to the right place. I work from home full-time as a part-time mental health therapist and spray tan artist, which means your pet will receive plenty of supervision, companionship, potty breaks, playtime, enrichment activities, and one-on-one attention throughout the day. My home features a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor play, plenty of toys and puzzle activities, and even a dog ramp for senior pets or those who need a little extra support. A few things that make me different: 🐾 Home full-time — your pet won't spend the day alone 🐾 Fully fenced backyard 🐾 28 years of living with and loving animals/pets 🐾 18+ years of hands-on pet care experience 🐾 Veterinary hospital experience (approximately 1 year) 🐾 Comfortable administering medications and injections 🐾 Experience with senior, special-needs, and post-surgical pets 🐾 Experience with tripod dogs and mobility challenges 🐾 Bathing, brushing, ear cleaning, and basic grooming experience 🐾 Toys, enrichment puzzles, snuffle mats, and interactive activities provided 🐾 Experience caring for cats, reptiles, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, and other small animals 🐾 Frequent photo and video updates for pet parents Animals have always been one of the greatest joys in my life. In addition to spending my entire life around dogs, I worked as a kennel attendant at a veterinary hospital in North Charleston, where I cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, temperaments, and medical needs. One of the reasons pet care is so meaningful to me is because I recently lost my beloved Golden Retriever, Cooper, in early June 2026 after a courageous battle with osteosarcoma. Cooper taught me more about patience, resilience, and unconditional love than I could ever put into words. Throughout his journey, I cared for him through amputation surgery, chemotherapy, physical therapy, medications, and mobility challenges, giving me firsthand experience caring for pets who need a little extra support and understanding. While I know I'll have another dog someday, I'm taking some time to grieve and heal before making that decision. For now, I would love nothing more than to share my home, attention, and affection with pets who deserve all the love in the world. Caring for animals has always brought me so much happiness, and I genuinely miss having furry companionship around the house. As a mental health therapist, patience, empathy, communication, consistency, and attention to detail are qualities I use every day—and they're qualities I bring into pet care as well. I understand how difficult it can be to leave your pet with someone else because I've been that pet parent. Whether your pet loves long walks, backyard adventures, enrichment games, couch cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I'll do everything I can to make them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home. When your pet stays with me, they're not just being watched—they're becoming part of the family. ❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work from home and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, enrichment activities, medication administration if needed, and plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day. One thing that makes my care a little different is that I do not currently have any pets of my own in the home, and I do NOT take on multiple Rover boarding clients at the same time. This means your pet receives individualized attention and isn't competing with other animals for affection, supervision, or care. Because I am home most of the day, pets staying with me are rarely left alone for extended periods. Whether your pet enjoys playing in the backyard, working on enrichment puzzles, going for walks, or simply relaxing nearby while I work, they'll have plenty of companionship and attention throughout their stay. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and as close to home as possible while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I live in a pet-friendly home with a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, explore, and exercise under supervision. Because I work from home, I am able to closely monitor pets throughout the day and quickly notice any changes in behavior, appetite, energy level, mobility, or overall well-being. Unlike some boarding situations, I do not currently have any pets of my own in the home, and I intentionally limit the number of Rover bookings I accept at one time. In most cases, your pet will be the only Rover guest staying with me. This allows me to provide individualized care, reduce stress, minimize the risk of conflicts between animals, and ensure your pet receives my full attention. Before every stay, I take time to learn your pet's routine, feeding schedule, medications, favorite activities, sleeping preferences, and any special needs. I am comfortable administering oral medications and injections, including insulin, and I have experience caring for senior pets, post-surgical pets, tripod dogs, and pets with mobility challenges. Inside my home, pets have access to comfortable places to relax, enrichment activities, snuffle mats, puzzle games, toys, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I also provide regular photo and video updates because I know firsthand how reassuring it is to know your pet is safe and happy while you're away. My goal is simple: to provide a safe, loving environment where your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and treated like family.
About: I’m a proud momma of two Pit Bulls that I rescued, locally. My passion for Bully breeds started 25 years ago when I adopted my first one and discovered the slobbering kisses that made me a forever fan. Over the last decade I fostered many (over 50) pregnant moms and their babies for local Rescues. I’m available anytime of the day and 7 days a week unless booked or unavailable. I also do not mind last minute drop ins. After my own experience trying to find a sitter for my two pit bulls, I realized that most sitters didn’t accept Pit Bulls and that there was a need for Pittie sitters! I love all breeds and have lots of experience.
“Sandi was great. Our dog Millie had a great stay and we got lots off god updates throughout our stay. I would definitely recommend anyone needing help with dog sitting while in the Myrtle beach area!”

About: I board 5 different dogs frequently and each one has returned again and again. I've owned dogs, and all sorts of animals, all of my life, volunteered & was trained at the Arlington Animal Welfare League & enjoy the flexibility & variety of boarding dogs. I have a side yard as well as a court yard with garden areas & closed in paths behind my townhouse for walks. I tend to spoil the dogs with affection, allowing them on the furniture but will always follow whatever rules the owners prefer be minded. Every dog I've boarded comes back with tails wagging, racing for the door and their owners know their dogs are very happy here. I've cared for dogs who return for over 4 years! Pick me! I'm currently working part time from home, so I have plenty of time for your pup! I do not currently have any pets of my own. I have a small fenced in grass area for your pup to play, get sunshine, and potty needs. I treat every pup as if they were one of my own!
“Laura is fantastic! In the past, our dogs are always so stressed when away from home. But I think they feel just as loved and at home with Laura as they do with us. I highly recommend her and her great care. I really love being able to check in and the quick response. They were with her for 11 days, and have come home very calm and happy. Thank you Laura!!!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I genuinely enjoy building a connection with every pet I care for. I have a very flexible schedule, so I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, walks, playtime, and comfort throughout the day instead of only stopping by briefly. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and relaxed when their owners are away, so I take the time to learn their routines, personalities, and needs. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care throughout the day and week. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, feeding schedules, playtime, and overnight care, and I enjoy creating a calm, comfortable environment where pets feel safe and loved I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed and cared for. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medication if needed, and lots of attention and affection. In a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure pets feel secure in their familiar environment while keeping owners updated with photos and messages. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and needs, whether they’re energetic and playful or prefer a calm and quiet atmosphere.

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
96% of Pawleys Island sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Pawleys Island landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Pawleys Island home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Pawleys Island.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Pawleys Island sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in SC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
