1. Schuyler W.
“Schuyler was an absolute life-saver. The first day of our vacation my mother fell and broke her hip and I was extremely stressed and spent my entire vacation in a hospital in Charleston, SC. Schuyler continued to check on me daily and sent pictures and updates about Crosby and Murphy. She managed my house, checked my mail, and made sure everything was running smoothly at home so I could focus on my mother and her care. When I got home, the house was perfect and the pups were healthy and happy. I cannot recommend Schuyler enough. She was absolutely awesome!!! Jean Scott”

About: I have had pets since I was a child and I love being around animals. I was expected to feed, walk, groom, and take care of all the animals I had. I enjoy the work and I am organized when doing it. I am used to taking the time out of my day to spend with pets and take care of them. I can adjust to any routine, my classes are flexible. I will follow any rules needed to properly care for whatever pet I am taking care of. I am very passionate about keeping the environment safe and friendly for the pet and myself. I will be diligent in whatever is needed!
