“Amanda did a fabulous job with my pup! Initially I invited here for a meet a great with Gus, her dog. I was concerned as my dog is a barker but it was not an issue. On the day of the visit I found Amanda to be attentive by going above and beyond, making sure my dog had fresh water and a good run in the yard before she left.”

“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.”

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!
About: My family and I are Christians. I was making plans to get my son a dog once he started working this summer. His big sister, who is now 20, worked at Ripleys Aquarium before she joined the Airforce a year ago. He wants a job there this summer just so he can learn more about animals. He is a natural around dogs and other animals. He is an honor role student who wants to be a vet one day. While I was out walking in my neighborhood, I ran into a sweet lady who told us about Rover.com. I thought how perfect is that. We get the love and warmth of a dog, and I will be able to teach my beloved son about responsibility and helping others. Your dog will get the love and care that you would expect and will be completely safe with us. The last dog I owned was a Staffordshire Terrier. We loved him. His resting place is in my home Bermuda.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Surfside Beach
Amanda was fantastic! She was super helpful at a sort of short term notice. She took the absolute best care and she must have the best camera skills because the photos were amazing. She even brought them toys which they loved and left a sweet note. I absolutely recommend her as your next pet sitter!
I highly recommend Mary! She did daily drop-in check-ins for my four cats over a three-day period, and she was absolutely wonderful. My cats are incredibly high-maintenance and very picky eaters, so I am always a bit anxious leaving them. Mary handled their specific routines perfectly and made sure everyone ate well. It gave me total peace of mind while I was away. I will definitely be booking her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Surfside Beach is $16 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $22 per visit. 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 662 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Surfside Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.

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.
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.
