“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 have taken care of many animals on my life time…from cats and dogs to a gecko and bunny! And I loved it all! Animals are family members and they will be given the best treatment while you’re away on a trip, out for the night, or at work! Missing pets while you’re away is tough, so many photos will be sent your way if you’d like! I’d love to pet sit, dog walk, let out your animals, etc! They deserve the best care! I am available Fridays and Saturdays, Sunday afternoons, and Monday-Thursday after 5:30 pm! Just message me and I will get back to you asap on availability! I understand things come up and you may need help quick! I treat all pets with the most care. They are amazing, kind, and funny! I have two cats at home and they are my babies!

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. I am currently in college at USCA and 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.

“Great Dog Walker my baby was well taking care of she did an Amazing job!!”

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: 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: 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 available on the weekends and I love the outdoors so any chance to get some sunshine is my favorite. Meeting new people and pets is something I always look forward to. 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.

“Lydia fed the dogs and took them for a walk. Got a complete online report including a map of the route!”

About: I have always been around pets I love animals like they were my own and make them a priority when I can care for them! I am a missionary here in Aiken county so all my days look a bit different but very flexible and I often work from home I try to build a safe trust between me and the pet I am entering into their space to care for them and love them

About: I have been taking care of animals ever since I can remember. I have grown up with all sizes and types of dogs and cats as well as other animals such as reptiles. Taking care of animals fills me with a sense of joy and love that you can't get anywhere else. I have a cat of my own that I take care of every single day as well as helping my partner take care of our dog and their 2 cats. I will not be bringing pets to my home, as I do not have a home adequate for pet sitting. Thank you so very much. I have my adorable loving cat that I take care of daily! I make sure he gets exercise, he has water, and his food it good to go. Weekly little box cleanings and bowl cleanings. I make sure that I take care of my pet and others pets by following the rules and guidelines that have been set forth in front of me. Whether that be your basic care for the animal or a person's personal preferences on how they would prefer their pets to be cared for.

“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 an experienced pet care provider with years of experience having had pets of all kinds since I was born. I have some experience with obedience training and I love playing with and walking dogs. I work as a pet care provider full time and have a very flexible, generous schedule. I can’t think of any better way to spend my time than caring for animals. I spend a lot of time with pets. They are like my children. I pet them, talk with them, play with them, groom and walk them regularly. They are allowed on the sofa and our bed but our dogs do happily sleep in their crates at night. That’s not a necessity for your dog if your dog isn’t kennel trained. We are flexible.

“Avery was great. ZAK bonded with her right away. She was pleasant and punctual. I would definitely use her services again. ?”

About: I have worked at a doggy daycare for the past year and a half in my hometown Aiken where I feed, water and give any special needs to dogs and cats. I also have experience pet sitting at peoples homes. I’m currently a full-time student at the University of South Carolina as a biology major. I have availability after all of my classes which end around noon most days. I am available most weekends and most week weekday evenings for any services and I am able to housesit with pets including stay the night at your home. I will feed your dogs and play with your dogs. Take them for walks or any special medicines your pet may have I will be able to give. if there is any special request, I would be happy to talk to you about it.

About: Hi everyone! I live in Aiken, SC with my husband, our baby girl, and our pets. We have three 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. Starting in January, I work Monday-Friday 7:45 am to 1 pm. Outside of that, with notice, I can generally be available. I am a mom to a toddler, so I no longer do overnight care in other peoples homes. Exceptions can be made for people in my neighborhood! 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 would love to take your fur babies out for walks and drop in on them to play. I have always had my own and i know how lonely it can be for them to be alone while their parents are at work. I can take them for nice long walk and even run with them if they are a little more energetic. i can always make sure they have enough food and water to get them through the day. I love to play catch and can take them to dog parks and let them get socialized with other dogs. I have my own baby they can even play together. I am so very excited to potentially work with you and your loving fur baby. I also have a very loving dog and if you are comfortable with it he really likes to play with other dogs.

About: I am a recently graduated student that is local to the area. I have taken care of dogs, cats, horses, and turtles but I'm always looking for something new. The age and weight of animals have I have cared for is varied. I'm used to giving medication if needed. While owners are away they will always know if something is wrong with their house or pets and will not lack on receiving picture updates from their furry babies. I do work full time 4 days a week. If that presents a problem with your dog’s bathroom schedule then I can bring in one of my back up sitters. I do approve the sitter and schedule with you ahead of time to ensure that you know who will be in your house and around your animals. Whatever keeps your pets happy and safe. I like to ensure that pets are exercised and loved thoroughly. Your animals will be nothing short of happy while I’m in your house taking care of them. You will always know if I feel like something may be off with them.
