“Jessica and Kayla were available on very short notice to drop in on my 2 dogs when we made some last minute plans for the weekend. They were on time and took great care of my pups. Thank you so much for helping us out!”
“Lauren did amazing with my four month old puppy! I’ve had a struggle trying to find a good sitter for her but I trusted her completely! She gave photos and very detailed notes throughout the drop in that made me feel comfortable. I’ll be using her in the future!”
“I knew I chose the right person to watch my cat when I met Julia. She is kind and very responsive. She showed a great deal of love and care for my cat. I will certainly use her again for future sittings.”

About: I have always cared for my friends and family pets. I also foster kittens from momma's that passed or abandoned. I can't save them all but I save the one's that I can. I am connected with vets and facebook groups where we all share and get advise and post pictures and events. I have fur babies of my own all small, all male, and all up in age. I'm retired, so I'm home all the time, I have a large fenced in back yard and rooms designated for pets. The love and joy I receive from caring for these pets is priceless. I live in a single family home with no steps, no carpet. I take my pets out everyday for walks and runs even if its in the yard, we just run around and play. I always wash their feet when we come in from play time. Gotta take care of those puppy pads. Their treats are baked home made or glusosamine and chondroitin for hips and joints. I've never hosted a pet that didn't like being in my home.
About: I’ve been around animals for years and love spending time with them! I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. I’m patient, responsible, and happy to follow your pet’s routine, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, playing or just keeping them company. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away! I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors, so I love having opportunities to get outside and spend time with animals. I’m happy to work pet care into my weekly routine and can coordinate with owners to find times that work for both of us. I’m dependable, communicate well, and will make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they need while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any specific needs so they feel comfortable and cared for. I’ll always follow your instructions, keep a close eye on your pet during walks and outings, and make sure they’re safe in their environment. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I’ll treat your home with respect and care for your pet as if they were my own.
“Shana is amazing. She met both myself and my husband at a community location prior to setting up the meet and greet in-house visit. During every communication she responded timely and professionally. We were somewhat nervous having an "outsider" come into our home and this was the first time we used Rover. The site was recommended to us by several people and because of Shana's other positive references we thought we'd give her a try. We could not be any happier with Shana ❤️ She sent us daily progress reports and took multiple photos of our kitties, their food & water dishes, cleaned litter box, etc. She always let us know when she was en route and always let us know when she was leaving. So responsive. We will not hesitate to reach out again for upcoming trips, and we absolutely recommend Shana to others!”
About: With me, your pets will be treated like family. I have no problem taking care of drool, fur, and everything else that comes with the care of your pet! I want the care of your pet to be my daily routine! I am an active person who wants to spend my my days among animals. I live in an apartment, but have unlimited access to my parents fenced in farm with many fenced areas if your pet must be seperate from the 2 dogs already there!
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.
“Cara is AMAZING! She was available last minute to come in and check on my dog so we could go out on our vacation. She sent pictures and on the second day, my dog was SO excited to see her! You won’t regret hiring Cara to look after your pets!”
About: I have owned dogs my entire life. I started working professionally with dogs at a boarding and training facility when I was 15. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities, including puppies, seniors, fearful, reactive, anxious, aggressive, and special-needs dogs. I’m comfortable giving medications, providing exercise and enrichment, monitoring health and behavior, and keeping dogs safe and comfortable. I’ve also helped with professional dog training by reinforcing good behaviors and following trainer directed behavior plans. I’m heavily involved in my boyfriend’s work as a professional dog behaviorist, where I regularly help with sensitive, reactive, aggressive, and special-needs dogs. I also have two dogs of my own; a Husky and a Chocolate Lab. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable and confident when leaving your pets with someone else. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while in my care. My schedule revolves around the dogs! I have flexible, open availability and accept bookings on a first-come, first-served basis. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and needs whenever possible, and I’ll always do my best to make sure they get the time, attention, and care they deserve. I treat every pet as an individual and adjust my care to their personality, routine, age, and needs. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of attention. I’m especially comfortable working with dogs who may be nervous, reactive, anxious, senior, or have special needs, and I always prioritize safety and communication. I’ll follow your instructions closely, provide regular updates and photos, and make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I also respect your home by keeping things clean, organized, and just as I found them.

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 have had dogs my entire life! I am great with animals. I do have a part time job but it's mostly mid-day and I have breaks. I am athletic so I can keep up with most dogs! I also love walks on the beach! I love animals and I have been raised around dogs of all sizes! I have a large yard as well as an outdoor pin for dogs that enjoy being outside! I do have a cat but she is good with dogs! I also have my own car so transportation should never be and issue. I am also close to a pet hospital if ever necessary! I am very passionate about dogs, and I am interested in getting to know you and your dog(s)!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Socastee
Our cat, Lego, is very comfortable with Christa as his sitter. She is very good to him and we never worry about him while we are away. Christa sent many pictures of him and kept us up-to-date on his daily eating habits, etc. She reported his daily greetings to us and what a pleasure he was to care for. Everything was neat & tidy when we returned. She has our whole-hearted praise as a responsible and caring pet sitter. In addition, she brought our mail in and took our trash out. Five stars ***** and A+++ for her caring attention to care details and genuine love for our pet!
Kat was amazing. She sent pictures and videos of our cat Fluffy, which included personal comments as well. Fluffy is afraid of everyone and usually hides in the closet with new people. Kat was able to have him come out and was able to pet him. We were shocked when we saw the video. We will definitely use Kat again in the future.
She was amazing and truly went above and beyond while taking care of my cat. She was very responsive, kept me updated, and was so sweet and patient with him. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!
Nikole was absolutely amazing with our dog! Our Doberman has pretty severe separation anxiety, and we were so worried about leaving her. Thanks to Nikole, my husband and I were finally able to enjoy a vacation knowing our dog was in caring, capable hands. She was incredibly patient, kind, and understanding. She stayed with our dog until she was calm and settled, giving her the comfort and reassurance she needed. She also kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear that Nikole genuinely cares about the animals she looks after and goes above and beyond to make them feel safe and loved. We are so grateful for everything she did and can’t recommend her enough. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, Nikole is the one to call!
Dawn does a great job with our cats. From our first visit with her our cats could tell she was a cat person and were more friendly than they usually are with strangers. She makes sure that she gives them treats and pets- even when they aren’t cooperating! We trust leaving our pets with her.
I was a little on edge to leave my dogs while going out of town. After meeting kadyn before hand I already knew my dogs would be in good hands. She is so warm and friendly. They immediately warmed up to her. She is amazing at keeping you updated and it honestly felt like I was still with them. From the looks of it my dogs had the best time also. Would 100% book again!
We love Nicole! We’ve used her twice now for drop in visits & she takes such great care of our 2 dogs & kitten as if they were her own. She always goes above and beyond. It’s such a relief to be able to leave knowing my animals are being so well cared for while I’m gone

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Socastee is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $44 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 719 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Socastee. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Socastee. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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.
