“Samantha was great! The dog and cats were well cared for and happy. You can tell a lot when you get home about your pets’ moods. They were all relaxed and not stressed. That makes me, the pet parent, relaxed and happy too! We will definitely ask for Sam’s help in the future!”
“Paige was AMAZING! She was attentive, thorough and very caring. She went above and beyond to make sure our Cat “Gunner” was safe and happy while we were away from home. Paige made sure he was still eating and drinking, using the litter box....which are all big concerns when they have a big change like this. She even noticed a small patch on his head of an old scratching injury he opened back up and brought it to our attention which shows me just how attentive she is as a person! Her love of animals can truly be seen in her work and she always provides updates with each visit (along with new photos)! Bravo Paige! We (including Gunner) look forward to seeing you again next time!”
About: I have had animals my whole life. They are the most precious things to me. All of my pets have exceeded the average life span and were extremely well cared for. I promise to care for your animals as if they were my own. I am a mom of 2, a 10 year old boy and 7 year old girl. I am currently staying home with them for the summer and want a part time job doing something I love and am passionate about. I love to walk dogs, play with them, feed them, can give them medications, clean up after them, can do some grooming. I also love cats, and will play with them, give them plenty of cuddles, clean litter boxes, etc.
About: I have experience caring for all ages of dogs, several different breeds, and have even raised puppies from birth. I grew up training and raising national champion rabbit tracking and deer/blood tracking standard dachshunds. While no longer in the practice, I have three wonderful dogs of my own and adore every unique breed regardless of size or demeanor. I am currently working full time but during weekends I am available at all hours. In the coming months my hours will increase due to my children being in school during the day and very likely cutting my full time job’s hours to part time. I will treat every animal as if they were my own. In a client’s home, I will respect their space and follow directions exactly as described/dictated.
About: Hello! My name is Faith and I've owned pets my whole life and I am particularly passionate about senior pets. I love to truly engage with animals and I value their comfortability just as much as my own. I am currently working part time so I will be able to give as much attention needed for your furbabies depending on my schedule. My work hours are also flexible so I can work around it from a day-to-day basis. As I will not be offering services in my own home, I will comply with the client and pet's needs as far as safety & environment goes. Trust is a priority of mine when it comes to not only the client but the pet as well.
About: If hanging out with animals could be my career, I would be set for life. Honestly, I prefer animals to most people so me and your fur baby are going to have a great time hanging out while you are gone. I commute into downtown Columbia for work but live in Prosperity. I've never met an animal that I didn't love... I've cared for cats, dogs, rats, frogs, fish, turtles, rabbits, guinea pigs, horses, chickens, ducks and other birds for many years and I enjoy all types and breeds. I volunteer with kitten rescue and have experience with advanced care such as medications, injections, IV fluids. In the past I have been efficient with communication and detail to owners when they are away because I know how difficult it can be to leave your furbaby at home and put your trust in a pet sitter. I'm willing to meet your pet at whatever level they are at... so active or elderly- I will treat them as my own! Your pets will be my priority and I will work around their schedule. I am available for morning check ins, lunch check ins, evening check ins, and overnights. We have every pet's dream yard with over an acre of property in a quiet, rural neighborhood in Prosperity SC and all the accommodations your pets could want.
About: Coming from a family of animal lovers, I feel that I have inherited a passion for loving God's little creatures. I have experience in pet sitting cats, dogs, and even rats. Over the years, I've had the privilege of raising a number of different animals; some of which include: an opossum, deer, squirrels, bunnies, ducklings, gerbils, hamsters, lizards, snakes, and of course, cats & dogs! Additionally, I have experience in animal rescue and rehabilitation, senior care, and administering medication. I am currently enrolled at USC and work limited hours as an in-home caregiver for a young woman with special needs. Most of my classes are online so my schedule remains very flexible! I approach every animal with the gentleness and love that they deserve. I am happy to provide for your pet in anyway that you need!
“Savanna was excellent. She came by and gave our cats all the love and attention they needed. She also sent a few photos. She was very responsive and easy to work with. Would definitely recommend to anyone. Thank you!”
About: I am the dog mom to a reactive rescue dog. My rescue dog has minor health and behavioral challenges so I am used to handling medication and loving pets with diverse needs! I am communicative, punctual, and have a passion for animal rights. I am a teacher by trade, so during the school year I am only available after 5pm and the weekends. I have more availability for walks during the day time and overnight visits during holiday breaks/summer. I try my best to update my calendar often! I cannot care for your pet in my home because of my dog’s needs. I ask to do a consultation and meet you in person in your home to make sure I am a good match for you and your pet before house sitting. I will respect all directions given to me.
About: I love animals. I have had pets all of my life and I would give them the best care possible! I would treat them like my own baby! I am available everyday! I work as a Vet Tech at a Vet Hospital so if they need any attention for any reason I would be able to give it immediately. I want to be a Veterinarian so this would give me more awesome experience with dogs and handling them! I will feed them, water them, walk them, spoil them behind what they can handle and play with them! I have been around pets ever since I was born I had my first dog and my first cat at the age of 8 and I love them!
About: I have been taking care of animals since I can remember! I had eight kittens at once when I was young, all of which had to be bottle fed. I also grew up with a Labradoodle, a Shih Tzu, and a couple of rescues. I am used to caring for multiple pets at the same time, and after raising a feral kitten last year, your big dog or snappy cat will not scare me! I really enjoy working with animals that need extra attention, so if you’re worried about finding someone to watch yours, look no further! Your animals deserve the most love and care possible. I am available for walking and drop-ins after 8 AM, as I am a babysitter and must drop the kids off at school in the mornings. I do not offer services in my home as I have geriatric, high-need pets of my own. This is for the comfort and safety of both my pets and yours!

Melanie L.
“Melanie is truly so caring, reliable and genuine. She will treat your pets like they are her own children. Melanie became a mothers helper at age 13 to my son Zachary and a pet sitter for my dog Zoe. Melanie continued to babysit for my growing family of 3 children all 2 years apart as well as my fur family. There is nothing that puts you more at ease than knowing you can rely on someone to come into your home that can care for your children and pets and love them like their own. Very blessed to have entrusted Melanie with my children and my pets for the last 13 years.”

Alexandria A.
“Allie is our go-to pet sitter when we travel for work. Our dog is very anxious and is much more comfortable staying in his normal environment. We love how Allie spends time with him on each drop-in visit and gives him all of the cuddles he needs. She also sends photos during visits - definitely a bonus for obsessive pet parents! Highly recommend having Allie look after your furry friends when you have to be away from them!”
Abigail B.
“Abigail was an outstanding student in my Nutrition class at Reagan HS. I would like to highly recommend her for dog sitting!!!!! She loves animals & has chosen to study vet tech in college. Abigail is very kind, responsible, fun-loving, caring, conscientious & hard working. You will not be disappointed with Abigail & your pet will love her!!!!!!”
