“Kelsey is fantastic! My dog took to her right away which is not the norm. Kelsey was very communicative prior to confirming our walk dates and responsive throughout. I really appreciate her gently manner as well as her promptness and reliability. I’ve contracted with Kelsey already for another group of walks! She’s great and I will definitely contact her when I need to go out of town.”

“Madison was professional and went above and beyond to tidy up and care for my 3 dogs. I am happy we found her in short notice and she was able to accommodate us. I will definitely depend on her in the future.”

About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from playful puppies to gentle seniors. I specialize in giving animals individualized attention, keeping routines consistent, and making sure they feel loved and safe. Whether it’s walks, feedings, medications, or snuggles, I care for each pet as if they were my own. I’m also experienced with shy or anxious pets and work hard to make them feel at ease. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I schedule my day around the needs of the pets in my care—whether that means morning walks, midday drop-ins, or overnight stays. I’m flexible and committed to maintaining consistent routines, which helps pets feel secure. I prioritize communication with pet owners and make sure each visit is on time and tailored to the pet’s schedule. When caring for pets in my home, I create a calm, clean, and secure environment free of hazards, with close supervision and plenty of enrichment. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely to keep pets comfortable in their familiar space. I respect the home and the pet’s routine, keep doors and gates secure, and provide regular updates so pet parents feel confident and informed. Safety and trust are at the core of how I care for every animal.

About: Hey there my name is Danielle, I have taken care of dogs of all ages ranging from puppies going through their first heat to senior dogs with lack of abilities. Growing up I had all sorts of pets in my home and enjoyed sitting and dog walking in my neighborhood. Also one of my first jobs was at a dog boarding and day care facility. I love all breeds of dogs and cats and just want to keep them happy and healthy and have a fun time. I am new to the area and do not have a set schedule yet. I am free during most week days during typical working hours. I love the outdoors so any chance to get some sunshine. I have a fenced backyard, and my dog is friendly. I do not leave dogs unattended outside because I want to be sure they won't try to escape the yard or dig holes. When in a client's home I am sure to read all instructions given prior to my drop in. I make sure that the their pet is given my full attention during my time there. If I have any questions I am not afraid to ask. I will also send updates and photos if requested.

About: My name is Alexandria, and I’ve had a passion for animals since childhood. I grew up helping on a farm until I was 12 and began working for a dog groomer at 14 which i stopped around 16, gaining valuable experience in animal care. I currently have two German Shepherds and three cats, and I’ve always been the go-to sitter for family and neighbors. Whether it's walking, feeding, or providing special care for senior pets or puppies, I bring love and dedication to every pet I care for. Currently on summer break from college and working part-time, I have plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. Whether it's daily walks or playtime, I can easily accommodate any pup or kitty into my routine. My schedule allows me to give them the attention and care they deserve, ensuring peace of mind for you while you’re away. While I don’t have a fenced yard due to Hurricane Helene, I’m happy to walk your pet using your preferred method. If your pet has access to a fenced yard, I’ll keep a watchful eye to ensure they’re happy and safe while they run around. I prioritize their well-being, making sure they get the exercise, play, and attention they need, whether it's on a walk or in the yard.

About: Why should you consider entrusting your precious pup to my care? These 7 reasons may be important to you: - Your dog(s) will have 100% of my care and attention! I only host one client's dog(s) at a time, and I don't have any pets of my own (just great memories.) When your pup stays with me they'll feel like it's their home away from home, where they're loved and cherished.. My rate is higher than some because of this limitation; in return, my dedication to your pet's personal needs is unsurpassed - as you can see from my excellent reviews. (NOTE: I will take care of up to 2 dogs from the same family.) - I am a totally devoted dog lover. Dogs come first in my book. Caring, paying attention to the the ways in which they communicate, ensuring they are happy, calm, secure puppies... makes me happy! - I'm quite comfortable with very large dogs, and also have experience with dogs who experience separation anxiety issues. - I follow your directions! Your wish is my command regarding food, walks, verbal commands to use, toys, and any other special instructions. - I am a mature, dependable adult; have raised children; own my own home; no smoking, no drugs. You can trust me to make responsible decisions in an emergency. - I have a big yard that outdoorsy dogs really enjoy for potty breaks, playing catch, soaking up the sun, and supervising squirrels. - I have a quiet home (kids grown, beloved pets long gone) where I spend most days doing internet research and writing; lots of time for hanging out with and being a companion to your pet(s). I'm also within a short drive of the dog park and hiking trails, if that's appropriate to your pet's disposition and exercise abilities. Why I love dog sitting My family always had dogs: everything from Great Danes to Pomeranians, from show dogs to rescue dogs. Personally I have always felt a strong bond and mutual understanding with dogs. Since my last dog passed away, I have looked for the opportunity to spend time with canine friends, and Rover has provided a great opportunity for me to do just that. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and ages, and have special understanding of dogs with separation anxiety and geriatric dogs. Meet my pets No other pets here - just yours! Looking forward to meeting! About my yard I have a big backyard that has lots of areas to explore all fully-fenced and dog friendly. The back yard is great for quick rest-stop needs (eg, if nature calls in the middle of the night) and on beautiful days it's nice to just hang out there and watch the squirrels and birds in the trees. My experience administering medication I'm comfortable administering oral and noninvasive medications, but not comfortable doing injections. When I'm caring for a pet I really enjoy their company, so spend most of the time hanging out with them or taking them places with me, if appropriate depending on the pet. If your pet has special needs like separation anxiety or a strict medication schedule, I plan my schedule around their care and comfort. I have a big, fully fenced back yard that is wonderful for sniffing around, playing fetch, watching birds and squirrels, and hanging out together when the weather's nice. In the house your pup is welcome to hang out wherever I am at the moment - kitchen, desk, bedroom. Sleeping arrangements will be per your instructions.

About: I have 25 years of experience as a pet sitter being self-dubbed the "overnight queen" as I specialize in overnight stays of any length. The dogs and I have FUN slumber parties during which I fully engage with and interact with them, playing with their toys and giving the most excellent tummy rubs imaginable! Owners are happy too as they return to a happy pet - dogs "tell" by their behavior and in over 500 pet sits, every dog has been safe, sound ... and happy! In fact, many owners say I did a great job because "my dog acted like it didn't even know I was away!" All dogs love me ... and I love them. Dogs are people, too - only better ! I am self-employed so can set my schedule, especially with as much advance notice as possible. I often bring my little 9 pound, Shih Tzu, which I keep and a carry crate and kennel that has worked out fine with both dogs and cats. We can arrange a meet and greet ahead of time to make sure everyone is comfortable. I have separate bedrooms if dogs need their own privacy, but I do try to have dogs interact and be friends. I have a long hallway to play fun games and go get it!

About: I have been volunteering at animal shelters all over the East coast for almost 20 years and have a Chihuahua mix rescue of my own who is my whole world. I grew up with large and small dogs, cats, frogs, hamsters, and horses. I will care for your animals as I do my own! My number one priority is to put your mind at ease and keep your pet happy and healthy. I know first hand it can stressful finding good care for your pets, so I pride myself on being communicative, attentive, and providing top quality care. I work full time with some flexibility, and am home during lunch everyday, but am most available on weekends. Due to the nature of my job, some weeks I am more free than others so don’t hesitate to reach out! I will treat your pet and home as I do my own. I love all types of dogs and understand some may require different care than others. Each pet is just as unique as we are! My dog Declan loves to play with dogs big and small. Please let me know if your dog does NOT do well with small dogs.

About: Hi, I’m Bekah! I’ve never met an animal I didn’t adore. From cats and dogs to horses and everything in between, I truly love spending time with animals and making sure they’re happy, healthy, and cared for. One of my proudest moments was fostering (and eventually adopting!) a sweet dog with a broken leg. I dedicated three months to her recovery, making sure she healed properly and kept her leg—she’s now thriving and a beloved member of my family. I’m responsible, trustworthy, and full of love to give. Whether your pet needs a walk, some snuggles, or medical care, I’m here to help. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend and treat them with the same care I give my own! I’m very flexible. I can assist most days and/or evenings. I work from home, so it’s easier for me to step away for a walk when needed. I try my best to ensure your dog/cat is comfortable and happy in your absence. I also send pics to the parents so you can feel at ease, too.

“can't recommend Michele enough, she handled my sassy, spoiled dogs perfectly. they walked the whole time which I wasn't expecting! she's a miracle”

About: I am a very out-going, animal-lover who has grown up with pets my entire life. I have had animals ranging from lizards, birds, cats, snakes, all the way to chinchillas. I have also trained dogs in the past and take great pride in the training and mannerism of my own 4 fur babies. As I am sure you can see from my photos, my dogs, as well as each and every animal that I walk, dog-sit, or provide any service for, I treat as my own and love them entirely! I will provide the best love and utmost care that is physically possible when watching your furry (or hairless ;)) little (or big) friends. As I do not have any kids myself, I like to call my own dogs my children. I understand the stress of trusting another individual to watch your pet, but I promise to keep them extremely safe, make sure they get tons of potty breaks, and even let them snuggle with me on the couch, bed, in the grass, and throughout my entire home! I am highly trained in animal body language, behavior, and how to also deal with stressed out, aggressive, or disabled animals. I will ALWAYS make myself available to talk with you about your pet, answer any questions you may have, and do anything and everything that I can to ensure your pet is safe with me. I firmly believe that while I am keeping an eye on this member of your family, they are apart of mine for the time being. I currently work in the office Monday-Wednesdays, work from home on Thursdays, and am available 24/7 Friday-Sunday. Having 4 fur babies of my own, pet care fits into my weekly routine as I will be fully invested on the days I am available to provide service for you and your pet. I have a full-time job, but I love animals and want to be around them more. When caring for pets in my own home, I do a safety walk through, ensure I have all proper and required materials for their care, and can even set up a fence divider in my backyard in the instance that the dog or pet I am caring for is preferred to be alone. I do have dogs myself, however, they are all extremely trained and get along well with all animals. I understand that it may be a preference to keep my dogs separate from your furry friend, and that is no problem. With our home being 2 stories and nearly 4,000 square feet, there is plenty of room for your pet to still be comfortable and have the free range that they want. Safety and trust is my #1 priority when caring for your pet, so any accommodations that need to be made, I am on it!

About: Our Terrier mix has been part of our home and family for 13 years. I very much enjoyed caring for her and I'd love to provide the same care for your pet. I am Currently working part time from home, with a very flexible schedule. I have lots of free time to help you care for your doggie. I provid safe quality and loving care for your fut baby in your home. I have experience with puppies to elderly dogs, and willing to accompany any special needs.

About: Hi everyone! I live in Aiken, SC with my husband, our baby girl, and our pets. We have four dogs. I have cared for animals of all ages, including seniors with medical conditions, babies, high-energy animals, and pets that have behavioral concerns, etc. I have completed pet first aid and CPR training through Pet Safety Crusader. I have experience with administering medications, walking, feeding, and cuddling! I have experience administering insulin to cats. I am used to cleaning up after pets that are older and may not always make it outside or to their litter box for the bathroom, and animals that may try to dart out open doors or gates. I am mostly a stay-at-home mom during the week- my husband works full time regular hours. I am usually very available on weekends, and weekdays after 6 pm. I might be able to complete drop ins during the week if your dog is baby-friendly (she would be in a carrier or wrap during my visit). I am a new mom to a 10-month-old, so I no longer provide overnight care to people generally speaking! One of my dogs can be "dog selective" and tends to resource guard... so for everyone's safety, I do NOT watch pets in my home. Exceptions can be made for rodents or reptiles. I want to keep your pets as safe as possible while sticking to their usual routine while you're away. I pride myself on my clear communication. I recognize how scary it can be to leave your pets in the care of a stranger, and I am happy to do a "meet & greet" with you and your pets prior to booking. The more information you can give me about your pet(s), the better.

About: I have owned dogs for over 34 years. Our dogs have ranged from Great Pyreneese and Grey Hounds down to 5 pound chihuahuas. Our last dog (Jack the teacup Chihuahua) lived until he was 18 years old. We decided it would be fun to help others board their beloved dogs as we had the privilege of using house sitters many times over the last 34 years. I am an adjunct faculty at a nearby University and teach almost exclusively online. My schedule at home is pretty much that of a stay at home mom. My husband and I love to take long walks and have always in the past included our dogs. We have a large home (2700 square ft) with no stairs. We have a large fenced in backyard and we do have an in ground pool. I always go outside with our dogs as I do not trust hawks and owls (especially with small breeds) and not all dogs are familiar with pools. I love to share my couch with pets to get extra cuddle time in. We allow dogs in every room of our home and invite smaller dogs into bed with us. Food and water is always available (except when an owner wants a specific schedule). Most of the home is wood floors with the exception of our living room.
