“Shannon was professional, kind, detailed oriented and communicated effectively while we were away from our dog Baxter. She took great photos and took the time to play with him as well. We are beyond blessed she was able to work with us and will definitely be working with her again in the future.”

“Amanda did a nice job. She came by the day before to meet Blue, get the key, and see where the food was. She provided pictures and reported on Blue's eating and such. Blue was happy and mellow when I arrived home.”

About: I have been around animals for my whole life. But one day I found the love of my life in 6th grade..my pup named Marley. I have been the one in my family that has taken care of Marley since we got him 6 years ago. I also pet sit for my moms friends on long weekends that they are out of town. And when I was younger I would go with my mom to take care of kittens and cats at our local pet store. Currently I am available Monday through Sunday. Early mornings and late evenings are definitely not a problem. I can be very flexible with whatever situation is present. I have big, fenced backyard for a lot of play time. I also have a very friendly dog that loves to keep others company. I have many toys and treats available. They would be pampered and loved on however much they want. At night they can also sleep with me in my room or any other preferred method.
“Gracie was a phenomenal sitter! Gracie was a pleasure to work with. She was great with communicating and reliable. She did such an excellent job taking care of my Dasher that I am hoping to get her again for the future.”

About: Dogs have tons of fully fenced space to play here and lots of dog friends to play with. There's also extra sofa space for those couch potato dogs that love to relax most of the day. Dogs have so much fun here they want to stay. High energy puppies and adults have more time to get all the energy out outdoors in the huge yard. They have more play time than other boarding places when they come over. I am available most of the day everyday! Pet care is what I do first thing in the morning around 630am until around 8pm. Pet parents even have an option for 24 hour drop off in my special dog room that is heated, insulated and has plenty of space. I have all the supplies needed so only bring your dog! I have extra blankets, bowls, leashes, crates and toys. Dogs have a huge fenced area to play in or if they are couch potatoes then they can just lay on the couch most of the day.
About: I have grown up with animals my whole life. I have 3 dogs and 2 cats of my own. I am a nurse and enjoy pet sitting in my free time. I have done pet sitting for several clients and have references if needed I currently have a remote nurse job so I have one plenty of free time to play with and take care of your fur babies. My 3 dogs are friendly and play well with others. I have crates where I can board dogs at night or during nap time or seperate them if needed. Also offer the dogs to run free in the house if that’s what they are accustomed to .

About: Hello! I have taken care of many different types of animals, all shapes and sizes ever since I was 15 years old. I have taken care of cats, dogs, birds, reptiles, and fish! Whether it’s just one fur baby, or even up to six at a time, I can do it! I love animals and have a cat and four fish of my own—I have had a few dogs in the past as well! I would love to get to know your pets and take care of them if you need help! :) I am typically free most week days and weekends anytime to walk, feed, or play with pets. Mondays and Wednesdays I am more busy in the morning time due to classes, however I can still do drop-ins before and after on those days as well! For my current pets I keep my fish in a 50 gallon tank since they are smaller, but love the space. For my cat, Squash, she stays in my main unit with me free to roam around and cuddle with me whenever she likes. I do not offer boarding services since my complex only allows a certain amount of pets at a time.

I currently work full-time, but I’m available to check on pets before work, during my lunch break, and again after work.

About: Hi there! My name is Riley and I am a recent Clemson graduate with a major in Veterinary Science. I've been around animals my whole life, growing up on a farm with nearly every kind! Back home, I spent summers pet and house sitting. Though, since moving to Clemson, I've been lucky enough to foster for local animal shelters and take in dogs of every size and any special needs. Some of those include pregnant, emaciated, seizures, medicated, seniors and puppies. If you need someone to look after your extra special pup or to work with your puppy or senior, I may be your gal ;) Having my own (very spoiled) pup, we have a dog centered routine. In the early mornings they get fed and we take a long walk around the neighborhood. Generally, there is somebody home with the dogs all throughout the day or I bring them with me for adventures and pup cups (per owner approval). We love to utilize the dikes and rowing docks in Clemson for sniffing spots, off leash play (with permission) and swimming in the summer! If I have to go out and there is nobody to stay and keep them company (though never for more than a few hours), I like to make sure the pups have everything they need and have been taken on an extra-long walk to tucker them out. I feed them dinner around 5 and we often meet up with some of the neighborhood pups to play later in the night before bed :) My apartment complex has an off-leash doggy play area where your pup can run around, play with toys and explore. I have my own dog who is very dog-friendly and always looking to make friends to play with! However, if your dog needs its own space, I have plenty of room to keep them separate. My goal is to make sure your pup is happy, safe, and loved while you're away, so I'm willing to adjust to almost any special requests or needs you might have!
“Jessi is such a lovely lady who makes my mind and heart at ease when my beloved MazeyJo is with her. Every time she walks my girl while I am at work, I receive the best smiley doggy photos, a wonderful Rover Card update and could not be more pleased with her services. When her profile says "Your pets new BFF", she isn't kidding. Thank you so much, Jessi.”
About: As a lifelong pet owner, I've cared for countless animals, including those with additional needs. I am comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, and pups who need medication administration. I have volunteered at my local animal shelter everywhere I have lived, giving me lots of experience in quickly getting acquainted with new pups and making friends with them. As a full-time student, I am always happy to have a pet to play with after my lectures. Having a happy furry friend to look forward to makes long days on campus much more bearable. Because of my class schedule, my availability varies day by day, but I have a minimum of 30 minutes each day to visit with pets! While visiting with your pet, I aim to ensure the safety of your pet and your home. I will follow all specific instructions (crating, doggy gates, etc.) and work tirelessly to keep your animal happy during my visit.

About: I have 6 years of pet care experience and worked as a kennel technician for 4 years, where I cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments. My daily responsibilities included feeding, cleaning, administering medication, and providing walks, playtimes, and enrichment. Working in a professional kennel setting taught me how to safely handle multiple pets at once, keep pets comfortable in new environments, and tailor care to each pet's individual needs. As a junior biology major at Clemson with a goal of working in the healthcare field, I am especially attentive to safety and routines. I am very organized and super accommodating, and I will truly treat each pet like my very own! I am currently a student at Clemson with a part-time job, but I truly value schedule and routine. With my past experience in pet sitting and working as a kennel technician, I am very used to coordinating feeding times, walks, and medication times with my own schedule. I always prioritize the care of my pets, and make sure they receive the necessary attention, updates, and care while your away. I am happy to provide drop-ins, walks, and visits during the weekdays around my class schedule, and can provide extended time on weekends! In your home, I will be sure to follow instructions closely for necessary feeding, medication, walks, and routines. I am highly detail-oriented, and attentive to keeping areas clean and organized. I will be sure to respect your space, keep things tidy, and provide regular updates and photos so you feel at ease while you're away!
“Kenna came and walked our golden retriever while we were out of town a few times and we couldn’t be happier that we chose her! She leaves great summaries of her walks and takes great pics. We know that with Kenna, our dog is in good hands! We will definitely be using Kenna again when we are away!”

About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life. I love learning their different personalities! I typically take care of some of my other family members dogs and want to be around dogs as much as I can. As long as I’m not out of town, I am free to watch and play with dogs. Sometimes I might be doing events with my family and if that is the case I will put it in my schedule. I currently have a dog at my family home. I don’t have any of my own dogs. I will take the dogs on walks and to the dog park a lot, I like to bring them out frequently.
About: I’ve grown up with cats my whole life, which taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to read subtle behavior cues—especially for shy or anxious pets. I’ve also spent plenty of time around dogs through friends and past drop-in care, so I’m very comfortable with walks, routines, and giving dogs the attention and structure they need. Pet owners can expect clear communication, consistency, and dependable care every visit. I’m a senior at Clemson University with a flexible schedule during my last semester. I’m available Mondays and Wednesdays after 5pm, while any other day of the week I’m free after noon! I’m also free most weekends. With a lighter schedule, I want to invest my free time into something I enjoy, which is taking care of fur babies! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent so they feel comfortable and at ease. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets are fed, have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention and affection. For dogs, I provide safe, attentive walks tailored to their energy level. I take time to build trust and always keep owners updated so they can feel confident their pets are in good hands.
About: I’ve taken care of family and friends’ pets since I was very, very young. I’ve been in charge of rehabilitation for my dog post-surgery and several different situations! I love all animals and can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I’m currently looking for a couple jobs before I go away to college! I will be available during the day on weekdays upon request. Feel free to reach out so we may discuss further! I am only comfortable with what the owner is comfortable with! I do not like to take my eyes off your pet, and am very diligent about ensuring that your pet will remain safe whilst comfortable and having a great time!

About: I have been taking care of dogs for 8 years ever since I got my puppy. I love animals and have been walking dogs for years as well. I have also volunteered at animal shelters in the past. I'm strong and can handle large dogs and I love to take them on long walks through nature like Oconee State Park. I even regularly walk my professors dogs. I am a full time student at Clemson University, graduating in May! That being said, I have time each day between classes to care for a dog and my nights are free. I have professors who often reach out to me midday to stop by their place and walke their dogs when they have a full day of teaching. I have an open floor plan at my place and my own room. My roommate also loves animals. Our complex has a large dog park for dogs to play at and our neighborhood is very safe so it is good to walk around. I also love taking dogs to Oconee because hiking is something I am very passionate about.

Lauren M. had great communication with me and excellent rapport with our energetic 2+ year old Doodles. She gave them a great fun and safe walk around the neighborhood, being mindful of the other dogs in our neighborhood. Our dogs are SO VERY excited to see her and I know it is because they are loved on and focused on during their playtime and walks together! We can’t wait to have her dog walk, check in or dog sit for us again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
