About: Hi, I'm Julia! Lifelong cat lover and proud mom to two sweet kitties, Salem and Molly. I’ve had cats my whole life and adore dogs too. Reliable, gentle, and photo-update happy—I treat every pet like family. Let me give your furry one the love and care they deserve while you're away! 🐱🐶 I work from home in the Carolina Forest area and am familiar with driving around the grand strand! I’m able to step out at different times throughout the day to care for your fur babies. I offer in-home pet sitting so your cats and dogs stay relaxed in their own space. With lifelong experience caring for cats (and two of my own at home) and plenty of time around friendly dogs, I follow your routine exactly—feeding, litter/walks, play, meds, and lots of love and attention. Daily photo updates included so you can enjoy your trip worry-free.
“Kristen did an excellent job taking care of my Cali. Cali is a senior cat with special dietary needs and Kristen had no problems with it. I will definitely book with Kristen again.”
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!
About: Back in 2022 I had one girl ask if I can watch her dog and I told her of course I love dogs and then after that I had so many more people asked me after I told them that I watch dogs and cats and ever since then I absolutely loved what I did. Seeing different types of pets with different personalities made me love it more. So I work throughout the week and I wanted to start only on the weekends first just to get myself through the door but maybe in the future I can make this a full time job Mostly a lot of the animals I took care of I got to be apart of there homes all of them so I got to stay over take care of them play with them take them on long walks feed them and just show them lots and lots of love and attention cause that’s what they need. Every animal is different so whatever the client tells me I will follow instructions through and I love to send lots of pictures of there animals to clients to let them know they are safe and in good hands
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

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 .

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.
