“Maddie is a delight with which to do business. She communicates very well and bends over backwards to work with changes in circumstances and schedules. If the need comes up it would be my pleasure to use her as a sitter again.”
“Truly can’t say enough wonderful things about Nicki. I’ve booked with her five times in the past three months because she’s just that exceptional—trustworthy, flexible, gentle, and incredibly caring. My senior dog, Jack, has recently developed some medical issues, and Nicki has handled everything flawlessly, from medication management and giving him the extra attention he needs. I’m so grateful to have found someone I can trust completely when I need to go out of town. Nicki has been a lifesaver and a true blessing for both me and my pup. Would recommend her over and over again to anyone and everyone I know.”
“Mary was a wonderful pet sitter for our new cat while we went away for a few days. As soon a I dropped our cat off I could tell that Mary was an animal lover and she would be in great hands while we were away. Not only did Mary give our baby meds while she was recovering from being spayed, but she kept us updated with sweet pics of our girl that relieved our anxiety while we were traveling. We cannot thank Mary enough for the amazing care she provided to our girl Shadow and highly recommend her to anyone looking for amazing pet care!”
“I truly appreciate Oceana for her attention to detail and her willingness to assist us with such short notice. Everything was handled in less than an hour! Including drop off- Her home is very beautiful and Dean had an incredible time. I definitely will reach out again when I'm in SC.”
“Liz is a wonderful dog sitter, she was so warm and welcoming to Maizy. This was Maizys first time away from home and I was worried but Liz took all my worries away with her warmth and caring. Maizy felt right at home and it is such a beautiful home that I think she wanted to stay longer. Highly recommend Liz for all your dog sitting needs!”
“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!!!”
“Debbie and her family are awesome!! I had a sitter to cancel on me in the last min before labor day wknd. Debbie agreed to keep Rocxi for me for 4 days in last min. They are wonderful people. They are super friendly, warm and down to earth. She really put me at ease. I didnt worry about a thing while we were out of town!! She is our new go-to sitter!!!!”
“Sandi is a wonderful sitter. She is clearly a dog lover and my dog was at ease in her care immediately. The pictures and communication from Sandi were excellent!! I am so happy with the 4 night stay our senior standard poodle had with Sandi and recommend her highly! 5+ star experience. I will use Sandi again!”
“We can't say enough nice things about our puppy Belle's time at Laura's. She treated her just like she was one of her own dogs. She sent us daily updates with pictures to ensure Belle was well taken care of and having a great time. Belle will definitely be seeing Laura again the future!”
“We were just away for 2 weeks, and had no phone reception. I was not worried at all, since our baby pup Jack was again being cared for by Laura. She truly treats Jack like family, and he loves the other dogs. Although he is always happy to come home, I believe he would be happy remaining with Laura also. Thanks Laura!!!”
“Jacklyn always sends updates , property is secure with a warm & friendly atmosphere, Area is safe & clean . Jacklyn has a very professional approach that includes compassion and caring for the pets in hee care . I'll definitely be using her in the future when I go out of town”
“Bennett’s stay with Amanda was more than we expected. We are absolutely thrilled to have had such a wonderful experience with her as Bennett’s sitter. Bennett has never stayed with anyone other than family members, but that usually hasn’t gone as smoothly. She remained in contact with us through updates which was great and helped us worry less. She even managed to take some of the best holiday photos of Bennett next to her Christmas tree which we were amazed by. Amanda’s care was exceptional and loving. We look forward to using her again.”
About: My wife stays home full time with our kids, so small pets receive lots of love and attention in our home. We’ve both had dogs our entire lives and genuinely enjoy caring for others’ pets too. My wife stays at home full time with our kids, and I work just minutes away. We’re both available to care for pets throughout the day. We have a spacious apartment that’s perfect for small house dogs, along with front and back yard spaces for potty breaks and playtime. Our area is also very walkable and dog friendly!
“This is our 3rd time using Karla - the first time was just for daycare, the 2nd and 3rd time were for 4 overnight stays. Karla is very caring and communicative — she sends videos through the day to keep us informed and reassured that our dog is doing well. We will certainly use Karla again as the need arises.”
“Joanne was a great sitter! She was kind enough to allow us to come pick up our two pups each day to take them for outings on the beach. She let us come and go as needed and our dogs were happy to come back to her house at the end of each day. It’s obvious that Joanne is a true animal lover. We will definitely bring our dogs back next time we’re in town.”
“Amy was great with our dog, Charlie. He suffers from separation anxiety which seems to be getting worse. He wasn't doing well at all in the hotel room so we decided to try a sitter. He was restless his first day, but that was to be expected. By day 2 he was having a great time with her pups! She saved our vacation and Charlie got to have play dates. Win win! Thanks again Amy!”
“Charles and his family provided wonderful care for my two dogs while I was away. Pictures were sent and messages were promptly answered; easing my worries of not being able to take them with me on my trip.”

The best! Our baby was safe, happy and loved just like at home. Will 100% book with Andie again when we have to go out of town. Highly recommend her to care for your fur baby while away or even as a play date. Our baby Zoey had the best time! Thank you Andie for being so wonderful!
It's been said that, "you'll know if you have the right candidate for the job within the first 30 seconds of meeting them." Well that's how it was for us during the meet and greet. We immediately connected with David and his wife and our dog Kai immediately connected with their dog Navy. (During the entire time we spent together Navy and Kai had a great time playing with each other.) We were a little concerned about Kai having some digestive issues and at drop off we went over Kai's issues and kibble changeover. David kept in touch with us to let us know how Kai was progressing and the results were very pleasing. Our communication process reaffirmed what we knew with the first 30 seconds of meeting them.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Pawleys Island on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 195 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Pawleys Island. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
