About: I have been dog walking and overnight sitting for the last 8 years in Myrtle Beach. My whole family relies on me to help with their pups when needed. I do work during the day but available most nights and weekends to help! (Only unavailable if I have a prior work event usually and I have plenty of notice with those) When visiting your home, I will respect your home and things just as I take care of all of my belongings and my household with our dogs.
“Laura is very easy to work with. She was very responsive to our short notice need. She has cared for our dogs in the past, and did a great job again today. Thank you very much, Laura!! We really appreciate it.”
About: Hi, I’m Kensington! I’ve been caring for animals my whole life—everything from cuddly pups and finicky cats to aquatics and scaly creatures (yes, really). I treat every pet like family, with patience, love, and attention to the little things that make them unique. Whether your dog needs a walk, your cat needs a lap to claim, or your shy pet just needs a calm presence, I’ve got them covered. My whole workweek typically revolves around pet care and ensuring other people’s furry friends are well taken care of. As for when I’m not working, I take care of all the sweet furry (and scale-y!) babies in my own home! I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs—whether that means sticking to a feeding schedule, giving space to shy pets, or providing plenty of play and snuggles. I keep your home clean and respect your space, just like I do with the animals I care for. I’m experienced, adaptable, and always ready to make your pet feel loved and secure while you’re away.
About: Friends and family in the Myrtle Beach area trust & rely on me to Petsit/ Housesit since retiring here in January 2025 from New York. I am very flexible and have a reliable car to get to you. I have loved dogs since childhood. So I've had lots of them! I come to your home and provide all care as instructed. I play with your pups and speak to them in loving words and tone.
About: I have owned and taken care of both dogs and cats most of my life. I am responsible and trustworthy in taking care of your pet. I am retired. I work partime for Kelly services. I am available for walks and check ins before 12pm Monday through Friday. On the weekends I am available in the mornings. I can not board or take care of pets in my home. I would like to work for rover because I love dogs and cats and currently do not have any of my own. I miss the joy of having a pet. I do not have any pets. My husband and I like to travel and feel that we would not be able to spent enough quality time with a pet of our own. I can not board or care for a pet in my home.
About: I have had dogs for the past 25 years and they are a vital part of my life. I moved to the Murrells Inlet area last summer and would love to check in on your pup(s) or take them for a walk. I was a teacher for the past 25+ years and have always dreamed of spending more time with dogs. I am currently a dog caretaker at All 4 Paws Animal Rescue in Pawleys Island. I am available Monday through Friday for the time slot of your choice. I can do weekends if needed, but only early mornings. I am flexible with times. I would love to set up a time to meet you and your pet to make sure it is a good match. Message me with any questions you may have.
“April is excellent. She is very easy to work with, communicates well, plays perfectly with our dog, and respect our home. We will definitely use her again and again!”
About: I have had dogs of my own since I was a child. I have been involved in fostering for local rescues & shelters for 5 years I have co-ran my own 501c3 rescue for almost 3 years I do work full time, so I am gone Monday- Friday from roughly 7A.M until 6 P.M. (depending on how far you are from my job). I drive Uber on the weekends during the summer months, but those hours are flexible & can vary based on your pet's needs. I have a fenced yard, but I have 3 senior dogs of my own and because of running the rescue, I usually have a foster dog as well so taking a dog into my home would be more challenging, but if I were to drop in or stay at your home, your dog(s) would get all of the one on one attention &time that they require
“Grace is absolutely amazing! We called her our pups “saving Grace” ;) we had a bit of an odd request. We were coming down for our wedding from Virginia and brought our 10 month Great Dane/lab mix pup with us. He has some separation anxiety when he’s in new places and we didn’t want him destroying our rental house. Grace came to us and sat with him while we were out doing wedding festivities. She was responsive to us, sent us pictures and we knew our pup was safe. Had 0 issues or concerns. If we ever come back to Myrtle Beach with Maverick we will be contacting Grace again and HIGHLY recommend her.”
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.
“Having Isabella was a blessing, we are new in the city and we don't know anyone, we had never left our cat alone and Isabella was very responsible, she communicated with me all the time, fed her, played with her and gave her a lot of love, very grateful that my Cat was in great hands”
“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 several pets of my own and have several references if needed for people who I have sat for. I am a retired nurse, and I’m able to administer shots if necessary to animals such as diabetics. I currently have my own business called Joanne second home. I have done this for years and babysitting. Cats works well within my schedule. I enjoy taking care of cats and have four years. I prefer to babysit your cat in your home as they feel more comfortable in their own surroundings. I tend to try to play with them. I clean the litter box every time I go in I have also made sure that their water bowls are clean every day.
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)!
“Ashlyn was very flexible with our needs. She sent us pictures and was always very timely. We definitely trust her with our fur baby and are very pleased with her services. Our puppy always looked happy to see her! Highly highly recommend!”

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.
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 Surfside Beach 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!
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.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
