“Katelyn was wonderful with Oscar and extremely responsive. She sent me many texts and pictures to keep me updated on how Oscar was doing. Great fenced in yard and Oscar loves the sun! Thanks Katelyn for taking such good care!”
“This was our boy’s second stay with Donna. We will definitely continue to be a repeat customer. Donna treats our boy as if he is her own. Between golf cart rides, beach walks, trips to the park, etc., she keeps him too busy to be missing home. She sends tons of videos and pictures and my boy always looks like he’s having the best time ever. We love Donna!”
“My pup had a great time hanging out at Danielle’s when we recently had to travel out of town for a few days. She kept him entertained, and went way above and beyond my expectations! She trimmed his nails (with my permission) and even washed his bedding/blanket before we picked him up. I’m extremely happy with Danielle and will use her again for sure.”
“Jennifer and Matthew kept our Lab and Golden doodle for 3 nights and I'll have to say I could not have been happier with their stay. Jennifer was great about answering any questions or texts right away and sent a picture of how they were doing. I will definitely be booking with them again!”
“She was AWESOME! My baby Bubba has a new auntie. I didn't worry at all while on vacation because Katherine made him so comfortable and now he has a friend in Bailey for life! I would leave Bubba with her every time...”
“Very good with Benny. Kept me updated on him. Sent me photos throughout his stay. He was well taken care of💚 Would 10/10 recommend. 💯 Im Definitely using Charles & his lovely wife.💚 Thank you so much!🫶🏽”
“Casey’s stay with Maria was wonderful. He probably had a more fun at her house than his own home because there were always dogs for him to play with. Maria stayed in touch with photos and little updates. Great experience for him and me.”
“Trina took wonderful care of our dog, Blossom! She sent lots of photos and updates and was very responsive. Her dogs also welcomed mine and they seemed to be good friends by the end of the stay. Blossom got walked daily, played in the fenced in back yard, and got lots of scratches and snuggles. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a loving home for their dog to stay!”
“Christy was amazing! Her home is welcoming and set up for pups. She had a couple other dogs when I took Kelso, and she was great with identifying the personalities and handling their needs. I have an older dog and she went out of her way and put mats down on the hardwood floors when his legs were tired. She kept me informed with messages and pictures the entire visit. It was an exceptional experience for the Kelso and me!”
About: I have had a pet for as long as I can remember! From dog, cat, Guinea pig, hamster, bunny you name it! I love animals and I would love to help their parents/owners make their life better by walking them, keeping them company, or just checking up on them while their parents are away. I hate the idea of them being left at home along for too long. I have experience dog sitting for my cousins at their house for multiple days in a row! I have been dog sitting for them for 3 years now:) I am a Graphic designer with a remote role that allows me to choose my hours! I love walking and dogs so I thought why not combine the two while helping others take care of their pups while they away at work:) I would treat them like they were my own dogs:) animals are sweet and they deserve to be treated like our best friends. if they ever got dirty under my care I’d be sure to clean them before they went home!
“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!”
“We are so happy to have found you, Maegan! Lola loves her stays with you and your family! She’s well loved & cared for and she really enjoys playing with your pups and receiving so much attention. We highly recommend your service! Thanks!!! 😊”
“Lori and her husband have been fantastic. Our first time allowing someone to keep our Bully. She has kept me up to date with text messages, pictures and videos. Already set up more boarding with her in the future”
“Our two dogs had the time of their lives with Luciana. During the five days they were with her, she sent me videos that helped reassure me they were in great hands. She lovingly played with them in her backyard and gave them plenty of love. I’m so grateful to her and her family for their loving care of my pups. Thank you!”
“I've been sitting dogs and doing dog walks for years and Ilana was everything we could have hoped for. She was kind enough to provide dog food for our pup Sylvia since we forget hers at home and her dog Tony was wonderful and playful. She was communicative before our stay and quick to respond. I can't recommend her more highly!”
About: I love animals and would love to help you out for any needs you need. I am at home all the time. Fenced in back yard. I work from home and have all the time to give outing outside and love while they stay in my home. I also have a teenager that would love it. I have a fenced in back yard and no animals at this time. So if you don’t want them around other animals I can do this too.

I always prioritize safe introductions and making sure every pet feels comfortable, relaxed, and right at home while in my care. 🏡✨
“Jenna saved our mini vacay! She quickly accepted our boarding request when we realized our hotel was not pet friendly. She provided expectional care to our Suzie!! She sent amazing videos and photos of Suzie! Jenna is very loving and caring!! Suzie enjoyed her time with Jenna and had her own vacay! Would definitely use her services 10x over!!!”
“After Hurricane Helene, we escaped to Myrtle Beach until our home was livable, but our hotel didn’t allow dogs. Anthony came to the rescue for the entire week with one hour notice and our 2 dogs were so happy with him! We visited through the week and they were happy to go back inside with Anthony. That speaks volumes as to how happy and content they were with Anthony. I would 100% recommend him to other dogs owners. Thank you again, Anthony!”

John was amazing with my two dogs! One of my pups can be a handful, but he was in great hands with John. My other pup is a total belly-rub fanatic, and she got all the love she could ask for. Highly recommend John—he clearly cares about the dogs he watches! I would use John again in a heartbeat!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Sunset Beach is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $53 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.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Sunset Beach can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Sunset Beach 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 Sunset Beach.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sunset Beach. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
You and your Sunset Beach 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 NC 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
