“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!”
“Craig is great! He stayed in our home with our 13-year old Sophie. She liked him at the meet and greet, and again for the hand off. Craig was communicative throughout the week, sending updates and pictures. It was obvious to us that he understood Sophie's personality and respected her boundaries. We had peace of mind while away, knowing that she was well-cared for. We will definitely be calling on Craig again. Great experience!”
“If I could give Nikki more than 5 stars, I would! She took amazing care of Bubbles. Sent a lot of pictures and was easy to communicate with. Nikki went above and beyond taking care of Bubbles, which gave us peace of mind. Nikki is awesome!”
“Isabella is the best. Our pups love having her here looking after them. She sends pictures and updates several times a day so we know how things are going while we are away. The peace of mind she provides makes our vacation even more enjoyable.”
About: I've had and taken care of a dog since I was 7 years old. Dogs were always a part of our family life. In my family and friend group I am the go-to person for pet sitting and puppy walks. I recently participated with a trainer from Ultimate K9 training in Southern Maryland with my own pup Russel who passed with flying colors and both he and I learned many new skills and tricks. Working with dogs is one of the loves of my life. I typically work a 7-5 shift at my day job but do have some flexibility during the day that I can use for a pup break. Evenings I am consistently available after 5pm. Weekend work is not a problem and I am open to helping support your much needed getaway. Love is always the first ingredient but of course we respect puppy boundaries as set by the puppy parents or how comfortable the pup is until they feel comfortable. Meals are fed to pups at the same time to make sure they are not feeling favoritism. Belly rubs and play time are also important for bonding and trust. I will send images of pets daily if the pet parent would like. Just let me know.
“Jo-Anne was the perfect match for Holly. This was my first Rover experience and I will re-book with Jo-Anne again. She was prompt, communicated well and spoiled Holly the entire week.”

I’m free all week and can take pretty much any time whenever! you call, i’ll be there :) If i’m caring for your animal at your home (preferred) I will make sure to follow any safety instructions and act if we’re the pet was mine ofc!

About: I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember. My first job in high school was pet sitting, and then it grew from there. Throughout covid I would post on facebook groups offering to watch people’s animals. As the years went on I still loved pet sitting, and still watching the same animals I have all the previous years before! Ever since moving to south carolina full time I haven’t pet sat as often, but I would love to get back into it since I have a lot of free time now! I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, cats, lizards, and guinea pigs! Over the years I learned how to administrate oral injections and how to apply topical cream to animal. I also have experience with giving medication throughout the day, whether that’s administrating it by mouth or putting it in a treat for them! My schedule typically changes every week, but I am a server and I do not work full time. I am a recent Coastal Carolina graduate, and now have a lot of free time on my hands throughout the day! I would care for your animals just like I was caring for my own fur babies! I do have a cat at home, and if you needed me to keep your animal at my house, I would have no problem putting my animal in another room to keep your animal safe, if they didn’t get along. In my neighborhood I have two dog parks that are fenced in for outdoor activity. If needed to stay at clients home, I would treat the home as my own and act in a respectful manner. Main goal would be to take care of the pet and make sure they are in a safe/ fun environment!
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’ve had pets my entire life and have been caring for animals since I was young. I have experience with dogs, cats, and more unique pets, including reptiles and small animals. My mom even has a possum and a snake, so I’m very comfortable with out-of-the-ordinary pets and special care routines. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on keeping pets safe, happy, and loved. I’m currently a college student at Coastal Carolina University and a member of the club cheer team. Outside of classes and practices, I have flexible availability and would love to spend my free time caring for pets. I am available during weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, not just a job to me. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I’ll follow any instructions you provide closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and special care needs. I treat every home and pet with respect, compassion, and responsibility. I make sure pets are always supervised, exercised appropriately, and given plenty of attention and affection. I believe animals thrive on kindness and consistency, and I strive to create a calm, loving environment so your pet feels safe and cared for while you’re away.
About: I have had many dogs, cats and horses in my life. I am an empty nester who is missing her own dogs since their passing. I have the time, patience and love to give your pets. I have experience with seniors and puppies. I look forward to caring for your fur babies. I have a flexible schedule, so I can make all the time for your pet needs. I can do daily potty breaks, in home care or walks. Whatever is needed. I love cats as well as dogs and have plenty of experience with both. If you want you fur baby to have all the fun and be well taken care of, I am the perfect fit. I have a clean, pet friendly home. I have an area for safe walks and play. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I can play or walk your pet at your home or mine. I am an animal lover cats and dogs the same, I am the perfect choice for you.
“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: 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.
“Emily was amazing to work with and took fantastic care of our two pups! She was super responsive and sent lots of photos. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
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!

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!
Paris did an amazing job taking care of my crew and home for a weekend getaway. From the moment she came over to meet the crew, I knew her energy matched perfectly for them. My Pyrenees and cats all came to her with wagging tails and asking for love right away, which put my mind as ease very quickly. Paris knew I was nervous about leaving them and kept in constant contact with how each visit went, along with sending pictures and videos throughout the day. She kept to their routine and they were able to keep to theirs with no stress. She helped me immensely to enjoy myself away without worrying about them. Sarge, Gypsy, Grizzly and Athena thank Paris from the bottom of their hearts and are looking forward to seeing her again.
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.

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.
