About: I’ve had experience caring for dogs for as long as I can remember! I always had dogs growing up and have continued to have dogs (and other pets!) throughout my adulthood. I’ve also fostered and pet sit for many friends and family members. Any size dog is just fine, I’ve had experience with dogs from 3lbs Maltese to an 85lb German Shepherd! I am familiar with administering medications and caring for senior dogs. I treat every pet as if it was my own! I work from home with a fairly flexible schedule, so can be available for walks and potty breaks throughout the day. For boarding, I will be home during the weekday so your pup can keep me company! I currently do not have any other pets in my home, but may have a foster dog occasionally. I have a fenced in yard for your pup to run and play. I do also have a pool if they like to swim (I will supervise dogs outside at all times for safety). For in your home care, I will be respectful of your home, property, and privacy while giving your dog whatever care they need!
“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.”
“Kaylin let our dog out for two weeks while our main person was out of town. She was great! Reliable, punctual and took great care of lady. We will be using her again forsure! She even gave lady a toy at the end that she loves. Book her, you will feel at peace knowing your dog is being taken great care of !!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. From small to big, puppy to senior, healthy to unhealthy. All dogs have a special place in my heart! I’ve also cared for dogs with missing limbs. My dog was my very best friend and after her passing I haven’t had it in me to move on from her quite yet, but taking care of others pet makes me happy. Pet sitting is currently my only job. When I’m with a pet I’m usually with them all day so I have plenty of time to walk, play, feed, love and care for your best friend! I have a yard but it’s not fenced in. I have a gated porch if your pup likes to chill outside and they are fine to come in and out as they please. My neighbor has a playful dog whom I watch so if your pup wants a friend to play with I can always get them together!
“Jeffrey took great care of our pups during our weekend away. In the pictures we received during their walks, they looked so happy! We will definitely be booking again.”
“This was my first time using Rover so I was a little nervous but Craig exceeded expectations! He arrived on time, did exactly what I asked of him. He even fixed lights for me that got messed up due to a power outage. 10 stars!! Thank you, Craig! We will be booking with you again 😊”
“Debby has a true LOVE of animals and shows it in every way she cares for your pet. She took amazing care of our Koda and went above and beyond making sure he had everything he needed and more! I know she made my pup’s day giving him lots of attention and exercise. She will be my go to for my baby’s care and I’m so glad I found her. Thank you Debby!”
“Jessica and Kayla absolutely exceeded our expectations when trusting a rover sitter with our pets. They’re communicative, punctual, and amazing with all animals. We will for sure be booking with them in the future!”
About: As a lifelong dog owner, caring for dogs comes naturally to me. I also gained experience watching and caring for dogs while hosting my own Airbnb. What sets me apart is the patience, compassion, and attention I give every pet. I understand that leaving your dog with someone else requires trust, and I work hard to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I'm a lifelong dog owner and an early riser who can provide care starting as early as 5:00 AM. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I'm comfortable accommodating feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I make sure every pet receives reliable, attentive care and feels safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I tailor my care to each pet's routine so they experience as little disruption as possible while their owner is away. For walks and drop-in visits, I make sure pets have fresh water, are fed according to their schedule, get exercise, bathroom breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also keep an eye on their overall well-being and can provide updates and photos for peace of mind. For overnight stays in a client's home, I maintain the pet's normal routine and provide companionship throughout the evening and morning. I understand that many pets are most comfortable in their own environment, so I focus on creating a calm, safe, and stress-free experience while treating both the pet and the home with respect. As a lifelong dog owner, I know how important trust and reliability are when someone is caring for your pet, and I treat every dog as if they were 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
“This is our second time having Emily watch our cats! She was amazing as always very communicative and was able to help when we stayed a day later on our trip! Couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter!”
“Beth was simply amazing!! Highly recommend. She keep me updated when she arrived and sent pictures too! She loved on Milly like her own. 5 stars without a doubt!!!”
About: I’ve always had dogs through my entire life! I love dogs and have a little boy named Sox. You can trust me with your fur baby! I do have a full time job currently but am looking to start dog walking on the weekends or in my days off! I do have a fur child of my own so I have to make sure I’m there for him as well! I have a dog of my own so I’m very familiar with dog care and how to make them feel loved and safe! I’ve had family dogs my whole life and am raising my fur son now! I will be moving out with him soon. He’s my best friend so I know how important it is to make sure you have a trusted person take care of your dog!
About: I have taken care of dogs for my whole life. My neighbors and friends have trusted me to care for their pets for years. I love furry friends and spending time with them! When I come to play with and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to giving them love and excellent care. I am currently working part-time, so I will have quite a flexible schedule to spend time with your furry friends all at your request. I have two senior dogs; a beagle and a border collie/lab mix! They still love to be active and play in our backyard. Your pet’s safety and happiness is as important to me as my own pups’. I will do what makes your pups most comfortable; whether that be playing with their favorite toys, walking them through the neighborhood, giving them much-deserved belly rubs, etc.

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Surfside Beach on Rover is $15.54 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 666 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Surfside Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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 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.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
