“So happy we found Nicole. I don’t leave my dog often because he’s old and sick so I get really stressed, but she made me feel so much better about leaving. Daily pics & texts of her with Cosmo! I came back to him excited and energized. Highly recommend :)”
“Sally went above and beyond just caring for my fur baby, she left my house clean. She washed the bed sheets that she slept in and put them back on the bed. But most of all she gave my fur baby so much love and attention. You see when I go away and come back my fur baby has so much anxiety when she first sees me she urinate on me lol But when I got back from this trip after Sally keeping her when I saw her, she was glad to see me, but you could tell she had no anxiety.”
“Alyssa has gone above and beyond! She went out of her way to sit for us at the last minute. She has a great way with animals and takes such great care of them! Great communication, she sends pictures and updates and gives great peace of mind. Will definitely be booking again!”
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.
“Christa was amazing and so very good with Joey. We were gone for over two weeks and were concerned about our little man being taken care of but Christa spent so much time with him and made sure he was happy and loved. We highly recommend Christa for any of your sitting needs!!”
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'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.
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
About: I compete in triathlons and a lot of my daily steps go towards keeping my dogs healthy, happy, and mentally engaged. I study dog breeds and health in my free time and I am apart of a lot of clubs including the AKC. I show and groom Standard Poodles as well. I am finishing my Masters program online- because of this schedule I am fully available to walk, train, and play with my dogs. I love to hike and walk 25k steps a day. I am fully available to devote my time to work with your dog to suit their specific needs. I live in a gated, pet-friendly community. Our area has a dog park and friendly neighbors. I have all the supplies and close connections with my vet.
About: I have had many dogs, cats and horses in my life. I am an empty nester who is missing her own dogs since their passing. I have the time, patience and love to give your pets. I have experience with seniors and puppies. I look forward to caring for your fur babies. *Your home will be as clean as you left it* I have a flexible schedule, so I can make all the time for your pet needs. I can do daily potty breaks, in home care or walks. Whatever is needed. I love cats as well as dogs and have plenty of experience with both. If you want you fur baby to have all the fun and be well taken care of, I am the perfect fit. I have a clean, pet friendly home. I have an area for safe walks and play. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I can play or walk your pet at your home or mine. I am an animal lover cats and dogs the same, I am the perfect choice for you.
“I am so happy to leave a 10 star recommendation for Kristin. We came down for our granddaughter’s graduation Kristin communicated with me the night before our scheduled sitting and was ALSO on time (we had to leave at 7a) we she arrived Buck immediately was happy and snuggled with Kristin the time we were away. We WILL have Kristin to stay with Buck when we are in the Myrtle Beach area. Thanks sincerely Kristin.”
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.
“Kelsey is Awesome! My male Yorkie is not very receptive to new people but he loved Kelsey right from the start which made me very happy. She is a true dog lover and it shows, very responsible. She sends pictures of my babies so I can see how they are doing while I'm away. I will be using Kelsey again and again.”
About: I have grown up around animals- I am often my parents’ pet sitter. I bond with animals (all types); which is why I have a biology degree. I have had a dog since I was three, and my mom currently has a senior dog that I sometimes take care of. She also has a dog with high anxiety that I take care of. I have a lot of friends with cats that ask me to housesit when they are away. Now- I have a lot more experience babysitting humans than pets for money, but I still know how to take care of the non-human babies too :) I am currently in graduate school, making sure the water nearby is safe! However, this eats up my time a lot. Since I am free on weekends, I can spend whole days with your pet; I can make sure they are active and well looked after! On weekdays, I can do the same for the evenings! However, during the day Mon-Fri, I will be extremely busy, so keep that in mind if you book me then :) Depending on what the pet needs, I am willing to take them out on walks, feed them, play with them, and give them lots of love! For senior pets, I can make sure they take medication and any other special service that they might need!
“Carly was a wonderful dog sitter for our French bulldog Toast. She stayed at our house for three nights and took great care of her. She sent us lots of pictures and updates. She was flexible with timing and very accommodating with changes. She also left our home tidy and clean. We highly recommend Carly to anyone looking for a reliable and friendly dog sitter. Thank you, Carly, for taking such good care of Toast! 🐶”
“Elizabeth was great with our dog and cat. She stayed at our home for three nights to care for them. She sent pictures every day to let me know that they both were good, which helped to ease my mind. My cat does not come up to just anyone and the day Elizabeth came in to meet us, he was there at her feet wanting her attention. We will definitely use Elizabeth again! Thank you so much!!”

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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Surfside Beach
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Surfside Beach is $42 per night as of November 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 November 2026, there are 375 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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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 Meet & Greet.
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. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Surfside Beach. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
