“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!”
“We are so glad we have Nicole to watch Hannah. She is always prompt and seems to have a good relationship with our dog. She goes the extra yard and communicates regularly. It is a great piece of mind to know she is there when we travel. Thanks Nicole!”
About: My name is Julia and I am 22 years old, I work part-time at a pet store and have a very flexible schedule, so I have a lot of free time! I'm also in school currently for Wildlife Management and Conservation! I have 2 guinea pigs named Mocha and Maple, they're both a little over a year, so I am open to pet sitting any exotic babies if needed as well! I currently work part-time, but I am available every day except for Sundays unless it's after 6! I would be happy to discuss what would work best for you! My schedule may change around a bit because of school, but it has been pretty consistent the past few months, so it wouldn't be too much of a change! If you have a list of directions that you would like for me to follow, I would be more than happy to follow it! They're very helpful for me to remember everything, and it can also help give you a peace of mind as well. I care for them like they're my own!
“Alexis was great to work with! We just moved to South Carolina two weeks ago and needed to find a new pet sitter fast. Thankfully, Alexis popped up on Rover and we were able to do a meet and greet and then book 2 drop-ins for our two cats. She sent us a bunch of photos for each visit and gave us a detailed update. We will definitely be using Alexis every time we need a pet sitter from this point forward! :)”
About: I am good with any types of animals. cats, dogs, rodents and even lizards! i have a cat of my own but if your pet doesn’t get along with other animals and they are staying at my house it’s alright, i’ll make sure they aren’t kept together and they'll all be safe. My schedule is very flexible so if you need me in a short term notice, I most likely will be able to be there for you! I’m a bit of an introvert with people but I love being with animals, i can take care of any of your animals needs from a strict feeding regimen to taking them out to exercise as many times as need be. Please contact me if interested, you will not be dissatisfied! I am currently fully available anytime from 7am-10pm at night, i can also do overnight if it is house sitting. my schedule is extremely flexible. I have an apartment and two cats so i cannot take big dogs in my home but I can take medium-small dogs! I do have a lot of space in my complex for your pet to run around and play! (due to having cats, i can’t take care of other cats. They don’t seem to mind dogs but other cats do stress them out.)
About: I’ve always had dogs through my entire life! I love dogs and have a little boy named Sox. You can trust me with your fur baby! I do have a full time job currently but am looking to start dog walking on the weekends or in my days off! I do have a fur child of my own so I have to make sure I’m there for him as well! I have a dog of my own so I’m very familiar with dog care and how to make them feel loved and safe! I’ve had family dogs my whole life and am raising my fur son now! I will be moving out with him soon. He’s my best friend so I know how important it is to make sure you have a trusted person take care of your dog!
About: What sets me apart is my deep love for animals and my devotion to serving others through the gifts God has given me. Whether it’s providing gentle care for senior pets, energetic play for active pups, or training support for puppies, I approach each pet with patience, love, and a heart to serve. My faith inspires me to treat every furry family member with kindness and compassion, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and cherished in your absence. Pet care is a perfect fit for me because I love starting my day with early morning walks, soaking in the beauty of God’s creation. As a college athlete with a simple class schedule, I have mornings and evenings free to dedicate to caring for your pets, ensuring they get the attention, exercise, and love they need. At my home, I have an open field in my backyard and plenty of puppy neighbors to keep them compliant! I also have extra pet supplies from recent dog sitting and a crate if needed! As far as care taking at the owners home, I will use whatever you supply as instructed!
“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: I’ve had dogs all my life. My fiancé and I work from home and have a 3 year old beagle, so we only require yours to be friendly with other dogs! (+ potty trained, of course) We do travel frequently so availability may not be 100%, but we will answer any questions relatively quickly We work from home! Sunday mornings we are likely at church, Wednesday nights we typically out for a few hours as well. Pretty flexible though, we aren’t out too much We treat our dog like the king of the house. I assure you your pet will be well-supervised and well-spoiled! We allow our dog free reign of the house, same with yours!
“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”
“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.”

I focus on creating a calm, safe, and positive experience so your pet feels comfortable even when you are away.

My goal is to make pet care fit naturally into my day while keeping communication clear and reliable for every owner. I care for pets in their home by keeping their normal routine as consistent and stress free as possible.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Surfside Beach stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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 calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
