About: I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like they are my own. What sets me apart is the attention and care I bring to each visit. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and positive experience so your pet feels comfortable even when you are away. I pay attention to routines, energy levels, and personality because every animal is different. You can expect reliable communication, consistent updates, and someone who truly cares about your pet’s happiness and safety. Whether it is walks, drop ins, or extra cuddles, my goal is to give you peace of mind and give your pet a fun, stress free experience. I structure my daily routine to provide dependable morning, evening, and weekend availability so pets receive consistent and attentive care. I plan my schedule intentionally and limit bookings so each pet gets personalized attention, calm energy, and a safe experience. 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. I follow feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions closely so your pet feels safe in their own environment. I focus on patience, positive attention, and creating a calm experience while you are away. You will receive regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for.
About: Hello! I have loved animas all my life. I have owned many and spent years working at a veterinary hospital. I have a sweet little dog of my own and a little boy who helps to love and care for them. We would love to help care for your pets when you need! I work full time (9-5), however I frequently work from home and when I am in the office, I can come home when I need to tend to my own dog or any other pets. I am home weekends and all holidays. I have a very friendly mini Goldendoodle and a sweet little 9 year old boy. My yard is not fenced in, however we take many walks and love to explore the woods and ponds in the back yard!
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: Hi! I have had a variety of dogs my whole life. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bath their pets. There is nothing more that brings me joy then hanging out with any fur baby. I do photography on the side and I am always more than welcome to snap some pictures of your pups! I am currently in between (remote) jobs and have a lot of time on my hands. Looking for work to keep me busy! I am very flexible and willing to work with your schedules. I have a 5 year old pitbull chocolate lab mix who is very energetic and friendly! We go on hikes, trips to Starbuck, for a pup cup of course and play fetch. I am a very reliable and friendly person who will make sure that your fur baby is content and comfortable. I had found/rescued Grace (my current pup) on the side of the road when she was 5 weeks old in very poor condition. She was malnourished and had mange. After vet appointments after vet appointment she regained some weight and got rid of the mange and now she is the sweetest girl! I am so lucky!
“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.”
“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: 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.
“Tracey was fantastic!! Had her come 2x a day for drop in visits for our 2 “girls”. She sent pics, important biological functions(!), & when they were fed. Most of all was she was always on time & did exactly what we needed when we couldn’t be there. If we need to leave our pitties again we will be sure to look Tracey up!! Very satisfied!!”
“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!”
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
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.

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.
To find sitters in Surfside Beach with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
