“Kristen was great! She was communicative while setting up a meet and greet and during her stay with Penny. Penny got lots of attention and exercise. I’ll definitely book her go watch my rescue dog again!”
“Bella is very nice with a calming presence. Buddy really liked her, and she sent us lots of pics of him relaxing on the couch like we’d hoped he would do. Looking forward to rebooking her.”
About: I’m a proud momma of two Pit Bulls that I rescued, locally. My passion for Bully breeds started 25 years ago when I adopted my first one and discovered the slobbering kisses that made me a forever fan. Over the last decade I fostered many (over 50) pregnant moms and their babies for local Rescues. I’m available anytime of the day and 7 days a week unless booked or unavailable. I also do not mind last minute drop ins. After my own experience trying to find a sitter for my two pit bulls, I realized that most sitters didn’t accept Pit Bulls and that there was a need for Pittie sitters! I love all breeds and have lots of experience.
“If I could give Nikki more than 5 stars, I would! She took amazing care of Bubbles. Sent a lot of pictures and was easy to communicate with. Nikki went above and beyond taking care of Bubbles, which gave us peace of mind. Nikki is awesome!”
About: I have cats my whole life. I have a year and a half of veterinary medicine experience. Your loved ones are amazing, sweet, and loyal companions. I will absolutely adore them. I am currently available when needed!! I offer puppy walks, check ins, daily needs, and overnights with your puppy at the place they feel the most safe, their home! I would to not disrupt their daily tasks/needs. Tell me what they do day to day, scheduled or not and I will make it happen! I have been doing overnight for family and friends for over 2 years.
“This was our first experience using Rover and Tracey made the whole process so easy and seamless. She took great care of our house and especially our pups and we just couldn’t be more appreciative. It’s a wonderful feeling to be able to be away and not worry about things at home. We will definitely be booking her services again in the future!!!”
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.
About: I grew up in a house with dogs, cats, and horses. I now have a dog of my own, named Nova. She is my whole world and I adopted her 2 years ago. Passionate about caring for pets and making sure they live a wonderful life even away from their owners! I work full time as a Branch Manager for a landscaping company so I’m unavailable before 5:30pm Monday-Thursdays. I am open anytime on the weekends! I have a friendly 1 year old female boxer mix named Nova. I live in a cozy cottage home in Surfside Beach that is dog friendly.
“Jo-Anne was the perfect match for Holly. This was my first Rover experience and I will re-book with Jo-Anne again. She was prompt, communicated well and spoiled Holly the entire week.”
“I had a couple of good sitters but Faith beats them all! She goes all way and beyond. I was traveling for 2 weeks overseas and asked Faith to dog/cat sit for me during this time. Faith followed my guidelines beautifully, took excellent care of my animals and sent me pictures every day, several times a day and she responded to my messages even in the middle of the night. My dog needed urgent medical attention and she was on top of it. Took him to the vet hospital, paid the bill (naturally i paid her back the next day or so) and medicated, healed my precious dog. The house was pristine when i came back home and i heard from my neighbors too how dedicated she was with my animals. I absolutely recommend her. She is the best!”
About: I've grown up with pets all my life, will take care of your loved ones when you cannot be there, also have flexible hours too I currently have two fur babies of my own but they are very self-reliant with a doggie door so I'm available to help with others I have a fenced-in backyard and a doggie door plus two very friendly dogs to keep your pet company, we welcome any pet that is not a spider
“Beth Ann is awesome! She took great care of our dog. Georgi has multiple medical issues and takes a great deal of medicine. Beth Ann was amazing with the meds, meals and walks. She even did laundry. So grateful!”
About: All through high school I took care of 2 huge golden doodles, Max and Eddy, for every school vacation. Since coming to college, moving away from Max and Eddy as well as a dog of my own, I want to spend time with your doggies probably more than they want to spend time w me! I have classes spread out through the week, with Friday through Sunday off. Historically I have worked in restaurants but after 5 years I’m dying for a flexible schedule and a job I love. Overall I have room to walk at least one dog a day, preferably in the morning or evening. I always feel most comfortable letting a pup out on a leash, even if I’m just taking him/her on a walk in the back yard. I do have some yard space at my place and plenty of great areas to take your furry friend on a walk!
About: I’ve had animals from Guinea pigs,rodents, ferrets, cats, dogs,birds, etc. I’ve also volunteered at farms learning the proper care routines for several animals. I am planning to return back to school shortly for wildlife conservation while my first career path was a veterinarian. Ive always had a passion and genuine love for animals and making sure they’re properly cared for and I would love to be able to do that for the rest of my life hopefully soon!! I appreciate any care instructions or special tips for your loved ones. Otherwise I will do my best to make sure I’m properly educated on how to care for your family members and making sure they’re as comfortable and loved as can be :) I’m a non smoker pet free household. I’m currently working a classic 9-5. I have evenings open to care for your loved ones. I am also free on Sunday and Monday. I live in an apartment with a fenced dog park. I have no animals at home and do not smoke. I just love animals and wanna be able to bring the best care to them per your needs and your furry family.
“Abigail (Ebbi) was very sweet, patient and kind. She took wonderful care of our 2 dogs at our home while we were out of town. Would definitely recommend her and she’ll put your mind at ease in leaving your fur babies behind. We’ll definitely use her again if the need arises. Thank you so much Ebbi!!😍 Ruby and Joy also thank you! Woof! Woof! 🐾🐾”
About: I have significant experience with pet dogs and day to day care. I incorporate structured walks, appropriate enrichment, and clear boundaries to create a safe and balanced environment. I was responsible for daily kennel operations, including cleaning and sanitizing kennels, managing play yards, and maintaining overall structure and safety. I am trained in basic canine first aid, including CPR, wound care, bandaging, and medication administration. I am also experienced in safely breaking up dog altercations and handling high-drive and working breeds with confidence and control. I provide trainer led care, backed by formal education and hands on experience in the canine training field. I completed an intensive six month professional dog trainer program at Highland Canine Training, where I entered the industry through real world, practical application working with a wide variety of dogs. During the program, I trained and handled police K9s in apprehension work, narcotics detection, and search and rescue (SAR) trailing. I also gained experience working with service dogs for autism assistance and assurance. My education included extensive work with dogs experiencing behavioral challenges, along with foundational through advanced obedience training. I have experience managing reactive dogs and confidently advocating for their space and needs. I’m highly proficient in reading canine body language and adjusting my approach to best support each individual dog. Training is my full-time job. I also offer boarding, pet sitting, and walks as part of my services. My schedule is built around my training clients, and I only take on pet care bookings I can fully commit to. Fully fenced yard with two of my own friendly dogs to help provide safe companionship. If your dog is not dog friendly, no worries, my dogs will not interact. A separate kennel area is available for rest breaks and feedings. Daily health checks and thorough daily cleaning practices are implemented to ensure a safe and clean environment.
“Jenn was house sitting for a week with my 2 dogs. She was very caring and kind to them. She was especially patient with one of my dogs who is afraid of the thunderstorms. Jenn is a very responsible person with great attention to the details. She also left the house in perfect order. I can highly recommend Jenn and hope to work with her in the future.”

Janelle has been an amazing sitter for my boy, Cargo! My mind is assured that Cargo will be well taken care of when I travel. I appreciate the updates throughout the day ! She is respectful of my home and is very passionate about what she does! Highly recommend!
We went away for 5 days 4 nights and needed a sitter for our two dogs, one of which had a stroke a year and a half ago and is declining. There was No hesitation as to who we were going to call… Tracy! She had stayed with them before and took amazing care of our pups. We felt at ease that should something happen to our girl with the stroke Tracy would know exactly how to handle it. Once again Tracy was awesome, kept us informed, sent some pictures and took great care of our girlies. Tracy is professional on all fronts and should be your 1st choice to sit your pets. We highly highly recommend Tracy and again, Thank you so very much Tracy!! ❤️❤️
We have a 3 year old Havanese that is a rescue and very skittish. Kristin was immediately able to win him over. It's easy to tell that Kristen loves animals and animals love her. Also, we were gone a week and came back to a house totally clean and you would never know Kristen was here, except for the loving photos of her and our dog Ducky. Highly Recommended.
"Aunt" Sydnee is the best sitter I could ask for! She's a true dog lover, a great communicator and treated my dog as her own. She is so sweet and had no problems following Lucy's care instructions (I'm kind of particular). She even administered Lucy's eye drops when needed. Lucy especially enjoyed her snuggles on the bed, their walks together, tummy skritches, and an occasional pup cup too! 😁 Sydnee's a top notch sitter and I won't hesitate to have her sit for us again.
Since I am retired, my two cats are accustomed to me being at home most of the time, so I was a reluctant to leave them alone for ten days with a pet sitter just coming in a couple times a day to feed them. So, Mary S. was a house sitter as well as a pet sitter while I was gone. Both cats were very content upon my return, which I attribute to the care and attention they received from Mary S. I recommend her highly and would use her again in a heartbeat.
Our pups absolutely loved her during our visit as well as while she was sitting. Julia sent pics of everybody playing outside enjoying the beautiful day. We have a 8 month old Aussie who is very leery of strangers. She was fine in minutes! We will definitely be booking Julia again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Surfside Beach is $42 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $75 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 369 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Surfside Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Surfside Beach walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Surfside Beach maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
