Pet Sitting in Sunset Beach

About: I have previous experience working as a dog kennel attendant at Camp Bow Wow, where I was responsible for supervising groups of up to 25 dogs at a time. My responsibilities included cleaning up after the dogs, preventing altercations, playing with and exercising the dogs, and making sure each dog felt comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I closely monitored their behavior, energy levels, appetite, and overall condition to quickly recognize any signs of stress, illness, injury, or discomfort and communicate concerns when necessary. I also have two cocker spaniels at home that I frequently look after, and I regularly pet sit and dog walk for friends while at college in Columbia. I love working with dogs and would love the opportunity to continue doing so while home for the summer. I’m currently working part time, so I’m home for at least half the day and have plenty of time to give your pup attention, walks, playtime, cuddles, treats, and loving care throughout the day. Your dog will be welcomed into a calm, dog free beach house with just me and my sister, filled with beach walks, porch relaxing, poolside lounging, treats, attention, and lots of love.

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!

About: I've been caring for my own dogs—an 11-year-old Wheaten Terrier and a 4-year-old mixed breed—for years. I’m experienced in feeding, walking, and playing with them, and I make sure they get the care and attention they need every day. I’ve also helped take care of pets for family and friends, and I truly enjoy making animals feel loved and safe. I’m a Sophomore at Clemson University who is at home for the summer, so I have a very flexible schedule for check-ins and walks. This makes it easy for me to spend quality time with your pets throughout the day! I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love meeting new friends. I can crate your dog if needed and follow any specific routines or instructions you provide. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority!

About: Dogs only want to give and receive love. They are, perhaps, Gods greatest creation. I've worked at a Veterinarian office/Doggy Day Care nearly 5 years, caring for all ages and sizes. I volunteer at the Sheriffs Animal Control Shelter in Supply. I believe dogs enrich the lives of the people around them. I've always been able to bond with dogs. A mutual trust has always come easy. They're all beautiful, and people could learn a lot from them. They make me laugh every day. Dogs will always be safe and happy with me watching over them. I wiil provide great companionship and a soft, warm touch while you're away. I guarantee that you will feel completely secure and confident with my abilities to maintain a safe, fun experience for your dog. Having someone you trust to care for your dog is invaluable. I will be that person. We love to be at home. Being on a walk or hanging outside is what we enjoy. I work at a doggy daycare and can fit pet care at home easily. Daily care of our dog is walking, feeding, brushing hair and teeth, love and cuddles, and of course playing games. We love to take our pebbles with us everywhere. We will give the same care to every dog we meet.

About: I have been taking care of cats and dogs since about the age of 12. Growing up I would help look after my family, friends and neighbors animals when needed. I would help watch over the pets, feed them, take them on walks, and play with them for as long as needed! I am currently unemployed so I am available at any time of the day any day! I travel occasionally but that will always be communicated. The dog will always be my first priority! When taking dogs on walks I will make sure to always be aware of my surroundings. I will also make sure to not approach other animals to ensure the safety of both pets!

About: I have been a pet parent to cats and dogs. Love to see all of their personalities. I have had rottweilers and pitbulls. I appreciate the love they have. I work full time but like to stay busy. I have a varied schedule and can help take care of your babies and show them love and affection when you cannot. I have a fenced yard for my pitbulls. They are both strong so we use chest harnesses when walking. They are fed 10 feet apart with zero food aggression.

“Robert was available on an hours notice! Very quick to respond and took great care of my puppy”

“Abigail was fantastic! Our dogs - Pepper, Coco, and Ozzie - needed “drop in visits” 3 times a day while we were out of town. Abigail did everything we asked of her, and sent pictures and updates after every visit. I would highly recommend Abigail to anyone needing reliable, loving care for your pets!”

“I never have to worry about Marilyn taking care of my babies. She shows up on time, her work is outstanding and I always receive lots of communication from her.”

About: I understand that our pets are not objects that we own. Pets are part of the family just as much as people! They have feelings of their own and deserve to be treated with care and love. I have a full time job, but I am off for around half the days of every month so I have a lot of free time to care for pets. I care for pets by making sure their needs are met and making sure I maintain great communication with you, their owner! I treat them gently and with love and patience.

About: As a college soccer player, I’m active, dependable, and used to staying on a schedule. I’ve cared for both dogs and cats with different personalities and needs, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’m attentive, patient, and will treat every pet like my own while making sure they feel safe and comfortable. Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I’m already active, organized, and used to balancing responsibilities as a college athlete. I’m also working a part-time job, but still have plenty of time to spend with cats and dogs throughout the week. I enjoy walks, playtime, feeding, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I make sure pets stay comfortable by keeping them on their normal routine with feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m respectful of clients’ homes, keep everything clean, and make sure pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away.

About: I treat every dog like my own, focusing on safety, routine, and genuine affection so your pup feels happy, secure, loved and deeply cared for. My schedule is completely open until July 1st, allowing full flexibility for walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, and last minute requests any day or any time. I provide attentive, loving care in my fully fenced yard, where dogs can play safely with my two mini Aussies, enjoy neighborhood walks, and frequent visits to Plum Creek Dog Park. 🐾

“Marie was amazing! We came to stay in North Myrtle Beach for a week long golf tournament from our home in New Jersey and I had arranged another sitter who, on the day I was supposed to meet her, informed me that she had a family emergency and had to cancel for the week. I was panicked to have to make last minute arrangements but Marie responded right away and saved us. She was great about being in communication and was so accommodating and flexible. I loved her daily reports. I was relieved knowing my two dogs were in very good hands. I’ll always be grateful that Marie was willing to step in last minute and provide such great care for Chaucer and Karma. I look forward to using her services again when we next visit. Thank you Marie!!”

About: I have be around animals since I was four. From play vet with them to training them all the way to having them help me in therapy settings. Animals will give us signs when they are stressed that can be very subtle and we often miss these signs. My years of experience works with watching for signs and respecting what your pet is saying. Animals are my passion. I build my own schedule. So if the animal needs care at specific times I have the availability to work them into my daily routine. With respect and care. Meet and greets as well before starting services. Our animals deserve the best attention and care to help them feel safe and connected.

About: I’ve had my dog Chloe since she was a pup, I’ve crate trained her, she knows how to sit, shake, and speak when given a treat. I work full time but willing to work around my work schedule and my days off to take care of your fur baby to feed, walk, potty breaks. I care for my pets with lots of play time, cuddles, love and attention, walks in the neighborhood. I make sure I follow their routine schedule if they have one.

“Always happy to have Kayla watching our pups and fish! She’s vigilant to make sure everything is good at the house and went above and beyond to get debris out of our koi pond after a storm so the pump wouldn’t break!”

About: I've been caring for dogs for many years, both through pet ownership and helping family and friends with their pets. Over the years I've owned a Golden Retriever and currently have a high-energy Border Collie, giving me plenty of experience with active dogs that need regular exercise, play, and attention. I've also cared for multiple Golden Retrievers, a Mini Australian Shepherd, and a Lab mix. My experience includes dogs of all ages, from raising puppies to caring for senior dogs, and I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs. During the summer, I have a flexible schedule due to being off from my full-time job, which allows me to accommodate a variety of walking and drop-in visit times. I'm happy to work with your dog's routine and can often provide weekday and daytime availability. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. As a longtime dog owner and caregiver, I understand the importance of patience, attentiveness, and building trust with every dog. I've cared for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs, and I always tailor my approach to each dog's personality and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, fetch, or a slower-paced outing, they'll receive plenty of care, supervision, and affection while they're with me.

About: Updated: 09/04/2025 I’ve always owned multiple pets and have taken care of neighbor’s pets since I was 11. I’ve been working on and off through rover for about 8 years now but have much more experience pet sitting aside from rover (if you’re wondering why there are only a few recorded sits on my profile). If your animal needs special care such as medication, diaper/pad changing, extra exercise, etc, it’s no hassle at all on my end and I’m experienced with all of these and more! I’m comfortable sitting any animal and I’m comfortable with pet/house sitting that requires me to stay over at the house or visit the house. I completely understand any requirements that ensure the pet’s comfort or your peace of mind :) Feel free to ask me any questions! I care for pets in my own home which gives me more insight to both caring for the pet and understanding the perspective of an owner. This also unfortunately means I can’t board pets at my own house. I live in a house with a dog and a cat and I prioritize their comfort so I don’t want to board other pets in my home with them.
