“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!”
“Emily and her family were all so nice and helpful keeping our pup. We had the convenience of visiting the beach while on vacation, care free. Our pup was being taken care of. It was truly a gift. She took him on multiple walks gave him food and water as well as many potty breaks. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Thank you Emily. 10/10 recommend”
“Rudy had a blast at Jen and Matt’s! They treated him like he was one of their own fur babies. They sent me plenty of pics of him playing and loving life there with his new buddies. I highly recommend them. They will be my go-to sitters in the future!”
About: I have owned dogs my entire life and have been raising my 9 year old pup since she was 8 weeks old! I’m a huge lover of animals, but I’m definitely a dog person. I’m currently on a reduced work schedule, as I own a cleaning business and am expecting my first child. With that being said, I work about 4 hours each morning Monday through Friday and I’m home the rest of the time. I have a big yard with room to roam on the anchored leads. I also have two loving and friendly dogs, aged 9 and 14, who love company! Special needs can be accommodated and crates can be utilized if necessary. Potty breaks are about every 2-3 hours but can be more frequent if necessary
“This was my first time ever having to leave a baby behind on vacation and I’m too happy Darlene accepted my request. My baby whom was never away from home or us, adjusted well slowly but they gained his trust. She continued to update me about him throughout the day with pictures included! Thank you again!”
“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!”
“Our dogs were well cared for and we felt so safe leaving them on our trip. Aunna was consistently communicating and sending photos of the pups. She is a wonderful sitter and we are grateful we found her.”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have cared for dogs of all kinds since I was young. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive, and I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to provide walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, cuddles, and plenty of attention. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Your pets will be treated with the same love and care I give my own. I’m currently not working, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays, and I can accommodate walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and keep you updated while you’re away I have a secure fenced yard where dogs can safely get fresh air, exercise, and play. I have two friendly dogs of my own, and I’m happy to introduce them carefully and make sure every pet is comfortable. I can follow your pet’s normal feeding, walking, and medication routines, and I can crate your dog if needed. Safety, supervision, and making your pet feel at home are always my priorities.
“Jody was amazing! She treated our 2 dogs as though they were her own. She sent photos every day we were away, took our dogs to the dog park several times during their stay and made them comfy and cozy. I know for sure they were happy and safe in Jody's care. Thank you Jody!”
“Janet agreed to board Pinto Bean for 3 days on short notice when I found out the Myrtle Beach resort my family booked was not pet-friendly, after all. She made him feel right at home, and he had a blast running and playing with her small dog, Racer. She sent updates and photos every day, which put my mind at ease, and even gave me some training tips for him when I picked him up. Janet, thank you, and I'm sure Pinto Bean will be seeing you again someday!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! Growing up, I was surrounded by all kinds of pets—from dogs and cats to hamsters and rats—and I’ve always loved caring for animals. I’ve also had the opportunity to foster kittens and gain hands-on experience with a variety of pets. My mom was a veterinary technician for 30 years, so I grew up learning a lot about animal care, behavior, and what it means to keep pets happy and healthy. At 18, I started my own pet-sitting business back home in Connecticut. When I moved out of state, I left the business behind, but I’ve always wanted to get back into pet sitting—and now feels like the perfect time! I currently have two cats and two ball pythons of my own. My schedule is also very flexible right now, which means I’m able to give your pets plenty of time, attention, and care. My time spent with your pets will involve lots of love and cuddles, walks and playtime, as well as treats as appropriate. I also have experience with administering medications to pets, so if this is something you need assistance with just let me know! I know how much our pets mean to us, and I’ll treat yours like they’re part of my own family. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry (or scaly!) family members! 🐾 I'm currently in between jobs and looking for something part-time so I have plenty of time to care for your babies, whether that be drop-ins or boarding. If needed, I have a dog crate at home for the safety of your pet while I am not at home. I have a 3 bedroom home in a peaceful community in Conway.
“Abigail did an amazing job caring for our senior dog. She was patient, attentive, and truly thoughtful with his needs. It gave us peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We’ll definitely be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring sitter.”
“Holly was wonderful with our dog Billy! She was very accommodating as far as when we wanted to drop him off and pick him up and sent lots of pictures and updates as to what and how Billy was doing. I would definitely recommend her and will use her again the next time we are in Myrtle Beach!”
“My Scout had a great stay with Carmen and found a new doggie friend in Tyr. She played and was very comfortable and happy. We will definitely be back next time I need a sitter. Carmen knows dogs and was very reliable and flexible.”
“Elvera was very friendly and asked questions to ensure She knew my dog prior to her stay and at drop off. She quickly responded to my questions before and during Maggie’s stay. She gave me updates and pictures during her stay. I would highly recommend her or use her services again”
“Our puppy went to dog boarding for the first time. We were fortunate to have Khirah boarding place. She kept us updated with pictures throughout the stay. The place has nice yard with fence for the puppy to play. We recommend the place.”

Katelyn & family & fellow pups are an excellent place to stay for our very active springerdoodle. Her family has dogs & kids that keep our boy busy!! 🙂 She sends us updates & pictures daily, which we loved seeing while on an extended trip out of the country. Highly recommend and will continue to use her as a great pet sitter! Thank you!!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Sunset Beach is $42 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $50 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 217 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Sunset Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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, 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.
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 , 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 .
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.
