“Colleen was fantastic! She sent daily photo updates of my pup, arrived when she was scheduled, and even won over my cats! My Bleu was well taken care of which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. The booking process was simple, and I’d highly recommend Colleen for reliable, loving pet care!”
“She took great care of my Winnie while I was out of town for the weekend. Frequent updates where definitely a plus!”
“Jade was very helpful in visiting and caring for my dog, Gus. She followed the instructions left for his care. I appreciate her help!”
“Kristan was a wonderful pet sitter! She was very attentive to my cats during her drop in visits - she made sure they were taken care of and also played with them! She sent daily pictures and updates of how they were doing and communicated with me frequently as needed. My pets took to her immediately and she was great with them, even my shy cat loved her! Definitely would recommend her services and will be using her again for future pet sitting needs!”
About: My whole life I’ve been surrounded by animals! I even had the chance to help my dad train police dogs! I worked at a doggy daycare and have nothing but absolute love for every animal, big or small. I only work 2-3 days of the week and will be going to a community college for the next 3 years, so I have some free time and I’m pretty flexible. Also I get to use this as an excuse to meet new animals!! I’m familiar with crate training, as I’ve used it on my own animals and I’m always alert and know what to look for in a animal that might be showing signs of distress or anxiety.
“Carlee took great care of my cats while I was away on a trip! She was responsive and took lots of pics of my fur babies. I felt so relieved knowing my cats were with someone I could trust!!”
About: I am my mother’s daughter. She loved animals more than anyone. We rescued dogs, cats, bunnies, birds, chinchillas, ferrets and hampsters. Beyond rescuing, we helped care for friend’s and neighbors’s animals as needed. I am a real estate agent and therefore my schedule is very flexible. I am available for pet care most days and times. I walk daily and would love to have furry friend company. I currently do not have a pet in my home. I do not have a fenced in yard I do however I do have a park with a mile and a half loop right next door.
About: I’ve spent my whole life around animals and truly love caring for them like they’re my own. I currently have both a dog and a cat, so I fully understand the different needs, personalities, and routines that each pet requires. I’ve also cared for other small pets, and I’ve volunteered at local shelters, where I gained hands-on experience with animals of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’m skilled in feeding schedules, litter box and potty training, giving oral or topical medications, leash walking, basic commands, and helping anxious pets feel safe and secure. I’m especially patient with shy cats and high-energy pups, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine exactly as you prefer. I also offer house sitting, so your pets can stay in their familiar environment while you’re away. Whether your cat loves quiet companionship or your dog needs lots of playtime, I’m here to provide reliable, loving care — and plenty of updates and photos so you feel at ease too. Your pets’ happiness and comfort are always my top priority. I have open availability, which means I can easily work around your schedule — whether you need early morning visits, evening walks, or extended house sitting. I’m happy to be flexible to meet your pet’s needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always prioritize keeping things clean, respectful, and as close to the pet’s normal routine as possible. I make sure to follow all instructions carefully, from feeding times and walking schedules to litter box cleaning or medication needs. I give pets lots of attention, love, and playtime — while also respecting their boundaries and any house rules. I’m mindful of the space I’m in — I clean up after myself and the pets, avoid restricted areas, and make sure everything is left just as I found it. Whether it’s watering plants, bringing in the mail, or sending regular photo updates, I’m happy to help however I can to give peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make sure both your pets and your home are well cared for.
About: Loving dog mom of 3 with hands-on experience caring for puppies, seniors, and all breeds. I offer dependable care, fun walks, snuggles, and daily updates. By day, I serve in the military; by night and weekends, I’m all about paws and play! Available Fridays, evenings, and weekends for loving care. I treat every pet like my own, ensuring a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I follow all care instructions, provide constant supervision, and give regular updates.
“Allysa cared for my two elderly cats while I was out of town for two weeks. She kept in close communication with me about the cats, and was very responsive to my concerns. On two different occasions, she went “above and beyond” to ensure my cats were well cared for, and I am very grateful for her efforts! I will definitely be using her services again!”
“Scotti was absolutely great for our Lab! Super friendly and caring for our dog.”
“Arianna was great, our fur babies loved her! She was great at communicating, sending photos and asking questions to make sure they had excellent care while we were away. We’ll definitely ask for her help again!”
About: I’ve cared for family, friends, and neighbors pets most of my life as well as my own! That, on top of an entire summer’s worth of volunteer time at the animal shelter, has prepared me for anything and provided me with the education I need to care for you babies! I currently work a part time job working 4pm-11pm on weekdays and 11am-5pm on Saturdays with my Sundays off! Providing me with the time to care for your pets most of the day! I can care for your pets like they’re my own while in the comfort of their own homes! Whatever is needed of me, I can provide.
“The dogs were well taken care of, she was punctual and stayed the full time. Great pictures.”
“Did a great job! Will return.”
“Devin was great checking in on my cats while I was out of town for a long weekend. My newer cat is still very skittish and didn't make much of an appearance during his check-in visits, but my older cat took to him right away, which is saying something since she usually takes a bit of time to warm up. Will definitely consider booking them again in the future!”
“Purrrrrrfect! So sweet and 100% professional, in all regards ?”
About: We got into pet care together because helping animals has always been a shared passion; it’s something that brought us closer and now it’s something we get to do side by side while helping our community 🥹 We currently foster for the Kanawha Charleston Shelter and another local rescue, help with TNR in our area, rehome strays, and love to spoil our own little crew of rescues! Over the years, we’ve cared for dogs, cats, pigs, chickens, reptiles, rabbits, rats, and even birds! We’re especially comfortable with pets who need a little extra patience, like shy rescues, semi-ferals, and senior animals! 🐕🦺 We have hands-on experience with: • Medications (oral, topical, injectable like insulin) • Anxious or reactive behavior • Special diets and tricky routines • Post-op and long-term medical needs • Livestock Friends! We're also active in the rescue world currently supporting fundraising, marketing, and networking for Krazie Ladies Animal Rescue, and jumping in when people in our community need help with lost pets or urgent rehoming! This isn’t just a side gig for us... it’s something we truly love doing together and would be happy to help you and your pets have a stress-free time! We both work from home, so our days naturally revolve around the animals we care for; ours and yours! That means we’re super flexible with visits throughout the day, whether it’s a quick morning potty break, midday meds, or evening playtime. Caring for animals is already part of our daily life. We foster and volunteer locally, so working around feeding schedules, quirky behaviors, and special routines is second nature. You can count on us to show up on time and treat your pets like they’re part of the family! Weekend availability included... just reach out and let’s chat about what you need! 📅 We kindly ask for 3 days' notice for all bookings and cancellations so we can plan our calendar and make sure we’re giving every pet the time and care they deserve 💛 When we’re in your home, we treat it with the same care and respect we’d want for our own! We always follow your instructions to the T; whether that’s feed times, locked doors or quirky pet routine... We will always keep your space clean, calm, and secure before we leave! We’re happy to work with homes that use security systems or indoor cameras, and we’ll always communicate clearly about access (keys, codes, etc.) so everyone feels comfortable! After each visit, you’ll get a photo or two and a quick update so you’re never left wondering how things went!! If your pets have any medical needs, special diets, triggers, or unique behaviors, we’ll ask about those ahead of time so we can handle everything confidently! We’ve worked with nervous pets, escape artists, and even semi-ferals... so nothing surprises us! We know how much trust it takes to let someone into your home and into your pet’s routine, and we don’t take that lightly! ❤️
About: I grew up with a lab from the time I was one until I was 12 and moved to my dad's; I always had an active role in our happy dogs life. I own two cat's now, but help my mom care for foster dogs she takes in. She is currently fostering a 2 year old Chihuahua who we take turns driving to Davis Medical Center to under go therapy and receive lots of love! I recently relocated to Charleston and am currently looking for full time work, which may limit my schedule in the future. I am currently available full time for pet care appointments. I require in person meet and greets, at central or home sites prior to the first service. This ensures that the animal has gotten my scent and associated that with their pet parent providing cues that I am a safe person to be around. Additionally, I recommend that dogs be crated in the home if alone prior to service, but this is not required. For cats, I request a list of hiding places so I can do a daily head count even if the cat is very skiddish.

Allison C.
“Allison has watched my pets multiple times and did an amazing job every time! She took care of my two babies Louise and Venus who are cats by feeding them, changing their litter, playing with them, and making them feel loved while we were out of town for about a week. She also took care of my other baby, Oreo who is a dog for 3-4 days when we were out of town on a separate occasion. All of my pets seem to love her and she truly is so caring for our babies! She is our go to person when we need someone to watch over our babies! Her prices are also very respectable and reasonable.”
