“Paris is an exceptional pet sitter who is caring, playful with our pups, punctual, polite, and trustworthy. We were lucky to find her during our vacation at Myrtle Beach. She even recommended an awesome restaurant!! Don’t hesitate to book with her, she’s the best!”
“Meli was excellent. Our fur babies were very well taken care of and the house was as we had left it. I was very much at ease knowing she was at the house with the dogs. I will definitely be booking her anytime we need a dog sitter.”
“Alyssa sent pics while I was out of town and Lucci was super content when I got home and Alyssa was highly reliable. It was uneventful and I would absolutely recommend Alyssa and I would have her take care of my pup overnight in the future.”
About: My family and I are Christians. I was making plans to get my son a dog once he started working this summer. His big sister, who is now 20, worked at Ripleys Aquarium before she joined the Airforce a year ago. He wants a job there this summer just so he can learn more about animals. He is a natural around dogs and other animals. He is an honor role student who wants to be a vet one day. While I was out walking in my neighborhood, I ran into a sweet lady who told us about Rover.com. I thought how perfect is that. We get the love and warmth of a dog, and I will be able to teach my beloved son about responsibility and helping others. Your dog will get the love and care that you would expect and will be completely safe with us. The last dog I owned was a Staffordshire Terrier. We loved him. His resting place is in my home Bermuda.
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.

“We are beyond pleased with Stephanie. She is just so incredibly kind, and we loved all her "pup-dates" with photos and videos. My girls were happy and calm the entire time. Then she goes above and beyond washing our linens and vacuumed up the tumbleweeds our Husky loves to leave around the house. I absolutely recommend and will definitely book again!”
“Tracey was excellent!! Kept us well informed of how our boys were doing while we were away. Stayed on schedule with what she said she would do and even came back by upon request when we were running late getting home. Felt our two Cavaliers were in great hands! Our first time using Rover but would recommend Tracey and look forward to booking with her again.”
About: I have cats my whole life. I have a year and a half of veterinary medicine experience. Your loved ones are amazing, sweet, and loyal companions. I will absolutely adore them. I am currently available when needed!! I offer puppy walks, check ins, daily needs, and overnights with your puppy at the place they feel the most safe, their home! I would to not disrupt their daily tasks/needs. Tell me what they do day to day, scheduled or not and I will make it happen! I have been doing overnight for family and friends for over 2 years.
About: I have grown up around animals- I am often my parents’ pet sitter. I bond with animals (all types); which is why I have a biology degree. I have had a dog since I was three, and my mom currently has a senior dog that I sometimes take care of. She also has a dog with high anxiety that I take care of. I have a lot of friends with cats that ask me to housesit when they are away. Now- I have a lot more experience babysitting humans than pets for money, but I still know how to take care of the non-human babies too :) I am currently in graduate school, making sure the water nearby is safe! However, this eats up my time a lot. Since I am free on weekends, I can spend whole days with your pet; I can make sure they are active and well looked after! On weekdays, I can do the same for the evenings! However, during the day Mon-Fri, I will be extremely busy, so keep that in mind if you book me then :) Depending on what the pet needs, I am willing to take them out on walks, feed them, play with them, and give them lots of love! For senior pets, I can make sure they take medication and any other special service that they might need!

“Courtney is amazing!! She made us feel comfortable immediately! Our Beagle is very special to us and we never put her in a kennel when we go out of town. She has separation anxiety and tummy issues. Courtney made her feel loved and cared for just like she was her own. She sent us pictures all through the trip and will be our go to person from now on! She is a godsend. Thank you Courtney. We all love you and Gabby already misses you. ??”
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.
About: I have taken care of dogs for the past 8 years. I love walking dogs as well, I find it fun and good exercise for all of us! I am extremely reliable and will promise to tire your pooch out! Your dog and I will form an awesome friendship, and I am so so grateful and happy to meet you and your baby(ies)! 🤩 I work from Monday to Thursday 7:30am to 5:30pm. I walk every single freakin day and love going out and keeping busy, so dog sitting/walking is such an ideal thing for my routine!! I do have a pitbull/lab mix who is trained very well. I have cared for many many dogs and stay very active. Honestly, I require multiple walks a day as well as my dog, Ruby. I love taking her on walks and watching her try to run after squirrels.
About: Coley here ive had many breeds of rescue pups over the years some with special needs. Im passionate about caring for all types of pups. I have my own home based small biz so I can work that around whatever you need because my schedule is very flexible and open. I have a fenced yard. Doggy doors. Trees, grass and shade, I can crate your dog if you need that. We have 3 friendly pups so yours wont get bored. We have a private dog park in our development which is walking distance that your pup may enjoy with us.
“Zionna is fabulous! She has an upbeat and optimistic energy and our dogs really loved her from the meet and greet on. She sent us regular updates/pictures. She left our home looking clean and tidy. We had peace of mind and really enjoyed having her house sit for us, we will definitely be reaching out to her again!”
About: My entire life I’ve grown up with animals all over the house. My parents always had at least 6 pets that I would help love and care for. When I moved out, I took my little kitty with me and left behind 7 more pets. I’ve pet-sit for friends and neighbors, and I’ve walked dogs until they were finally ready to go home. I love all animals and will treat your pets with the same love and care as my own. I’m currently going to be working short night shifts so I will have plenty of time to walk and care for your pets. My mornings are free for early walks and I have no problem stopping by late if needed! I have a 2 bedroom which is lots of space for my 6 pound kitten to play around. I spoil her with toys and play with her all day. I have a little backyard which she’s too scared to use but it would be perfect for other animals to play. I also have a very walkable neighborhood with lots of friendly animals that go on walks as well!

We absolutely love Paris. She was dependable, on time, followed all of our instructions perfectly, was very responsive with communication and sent us pictures throughout her stay overnight with our boy Jazzy!! WE highly recommend this amazing young woman and cannot wait to have her back. Thank you so very much Paris!!
I had a couple of good sitters but Faith beats them all! She goes all way and beyond. I was traveling for 2 weeks overseas and asked Faith to dog/cat sit for me during this time. Faith followed my guidelines beautifully, took excellent care of my animals and sent me pictures every day, several times a day and she responded to my messages even in the middle of the night. My dog needed urgent medical attention and she was on top of it. Took him to the vet hospital, paid the bill (naturally i paid her back the next day or so) and medicated, healed my precious dog. The house was pristine when i came back home and i heard from my neighbors too how dedicated she was with my animals. I absolutely recommend her. She is the best!
We used Kat while we were camping to come stay in our motorhome with our 3 dachshunds while we went to an event. She was awesome! She took the time to meet with us ahead of time to help our comfort and the dogs. It was such a load off knowing how comfortable the dogs were with her. Definitely would recommend and use again.
Janelle has been an amazing sitter for my boy, Cargo! My mind is assured that Cargo will be well taken care of when I travel. I appreciate the updates throughout the day ! She is respectful of my home and is very passionate about what she does! Highly recommend!
We went away for 5 days 4 nights and needed a sitter for our two dogs, one of which had a stroke a year and a half ago and is declining. There was No hesitation as to who we were going to call… Tracy! She had stayed with them before and took amazing care of our pups. We felt at ease that should something happen to our girl with the stroke Tracy would know exactly how to handle it. Once again Tracy was awesome, kept us informed, sent some pictures and took great care of our girlies. Tracy is professional on all fronts and should be your 1st choice to sit your pets. We highly highly recommend Tracy and again, Thank you so very much Tracy!! ❤️❤️
Just returned from a 4 day holiday weekend after booking Katie last minute and what a blessing she turned out to be. Katie took care of our home and pets as if they were her own. We have one rescue dog with serious past abuse PTSD, a Husky that requires frequent trips outside (both also requiring special meal instructions and/or medication) and a very shy cat and she was an absolute master. Katie navigated a blown HVAC capacitor tech visit and a power outage due to someone driving into a local neighborhood restaurant and she never complained once. If we could leave a 6th star, we absolutely would. What an amazing human.
Shannon was an absolute angel from her willingness to go along with my dogs crazy habits to leaving my house spotless to taking such good care of my dog! To top it off when I had some flight related delays coming home on time she reached out and offered to take the dog out one last time, giving me one less thing to worry about. She was kind and professional and so good with my dog. She is an absolute gem and I highly recommend her.
David was a wonderful sitter for our kitties and home while we were away for the holidays. He is so thoughtful and courteous. Each day he sent pictures and gave us updates. When we arrived home, everything was just as we left it. We look forward to him babysitting again soon.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Socastee is $59 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $98 per night. 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 387 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Socastee. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Socastee 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 Socastee 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 Socastee 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Socastee. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
