“Amada did a great job looking after my cats while we were on vacation. She did everything that was asked and sent some great photos daily. I recommend her 110%! I will be using Amanda for all my future trips.”

“Alaina was amazing with my cat, Bitty! She was quick to respond and very thorough in making sure she understood all of Bitty’s needs. She sent great pictures and kept me updated on her visits, which gave me so much peace of mind. 10/10 would absolutely recommend her!”

“Amethyst was great with Jewels,and Jewels seems to like her. She isn't use to being alone. The videos and pictures helps alot!! I will definitely book with Amethyst again. 😊 thanks so much! Happy customer....”

“Kenna did a great job taking care of our cat while we were on vacation. This was the first time we have used a pet sitter service and she really minds at ease when she came for the home visit. She sent us lots of pictures and let us know how each visit went. She was very responsive to any questions we had and she kept everything clean and in order. I would certainly recommend her and will definitely request her again for our future cat sitter needs.”

“Gracie is and has always been amazing in taking care of my fur baby Nala! Mind you Nala is a puppy! Not only does she help with the little things like training, etc. but her communication skills are top notch!”

About: I was raised around animals my whole life and I absolutely love any and all animals. I have years of experience with dogs/cats, I also have a pet pig! I would love to care for your furry friends! I work in a hospital and my schedule is 8-5 Monday-Friday. I have free evenings/weekends and would absolutely love to spend that time caring for your pets! I have one female dog who is a little over a year old. She is super playful and friendly and would make a great playmate if needed! I have plenty of toys and treats for any animals and a crate as well.
About: I've run a dog rescue that placed 1000+ dogs in new homes in 3 years, worked as a live-in animal care taker at a dog and cat boarding facility, and trained several service dogs for a national service dog organization. I've had dogs and cats of my own for over 20 years, and am often the person's friends and family call when they have a dog/cat question instead of google. I've seen and done it all, which means I know how to manage a wide variety of dogs and cats (and more) with all their personalities and quirks. I work full time, but with pretty flexible hours with enough heads-up. I have dogs and cats of my own, so I already have an easy routine of caring for them and it's quite easy to add another. I move my work schedule around to maximize the best times for hikes/outside time for the dogs depending on the weather. I try to take at least one of my dogs for hikes at the Clemson Experimental Forest 2-3x a week. I have a fenced yard with a small (fully enclosed and secure) chicken run. Any visiting dogs would have supervised time to play in the yard or the fenced back deck several times a day. I have 3 friendly dogs who would love to play or just hang out, or can be kept fully separate from any visitor if the visitor needs their space. They are used to mixing or staying separate from any visiting dogs/cats. I also have two cats who are dog friendly, or remain completely upstairs to themselves if any visitors aren't cat friendly. Visiting pets are setup in my home office with a crate of their own (if needed), plenty of windows, and room to play or bed to nap on.
“Alyssa took such a great care of our cat. She always took pictures and was sending videos! Quick responding and easy to get in touch with. She always left a not with everything that she did. Definitely would’ve picked her again!”

“Shannon is very sweet, kind and thorough with each visit. Shannon is a wonderful caregiver going above and beyond with each visit, even personally texting me with updates and concerns.”


About: I am retired after serving 27 years in the army and a disabled veteran. Im a proud dad of two Clemson tigers, and a proud husband to another. Interacting with pups really helps me, and I love hanging out with my son's 2 doggos. We had the privilege of sharing our home with the best dog in the history of the world for many years, and he will forever hold a special place in our hearts. If you are looking for someone to drop in, walk, or just hang out with your dog, I am that person. I promise I will make sure they know they are loved, and it helps me as well. I look forward to meeting your furry family members! I am retired, so i have plenty of time on my hands. I know what it feels like to leave your pet home alone during the day, and I am excited to give them an opportunity to get out and stretch their legs or just have someone to hang out for a bit. I am committed to treating your pet like my own and follow any instructions to make their experience top notch. Spending time with them will help make my day better as well.
“Jessi was amazing with both of our cats! Harvey clearly enjoyed her attention and our scaredy-cat Amelia came out to see Jessi which she has never done with a stranger before! I really appreciate how punctual Jessi was and all of the pictures she sent. We will absolutely be booking Jessi again!”

“The animals are always in good hands with Courtney! She has excellent communication and always sends pics of the animals. Have used Courtney multiple times and will continue to do so when she's available!”

About: I have personally owned and cared for neighbors' dogs and other pets since I was 10. I have extensive care experience with puppy and adult small and large dogs, including bathing, walking, feeding, and general pet-sitting duties. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have also taken care of neighbors' and friends' pets. I give individualized care for each pet and parent's needs and appreciate that every dog is different. No request is too extreme! I am a graduate student at Clemson, so my schedule is flexible in the mornings and the afternoons after 3 PM, as well as on weekends. I can also accommodate mid-day potty breaks and walks! When it comes to your home and pets, my top priority is safety. I always use a leash when walking dogs and encourage them to remain close to me (their walking buddy!). For in-home pet sitting, I prefer to stick to your pets' usual routine so that your furry friend stays happy, even when you're out of town. I will also respect all of your personal property and will follow instructions to a T.

Alaina was amazing with my cat, Bitty! She was quick to respond and very thorough in making sure she understood all of Bitty’s needs. She sent great pictures and kept me updated on her visits, which gave me so much peace of mind. 10/10 would absolutely recommend her!

Jessi was awesome. So friendly and quick to respond. Very thorough with her daily reports, and was so kind with dealing with our two ornery dogs! They warmed up to her quickly (for them!) and were very well taken care of by Jessi while we were out of town. We would love to have her back again in the future to take care of our animals while we are out of town!

Jeremy was so amazing with my three dogs! He was timely, professional and took so many pictures for me to enjoy. I am so grateful to have found someone who cares about my pups the way that I do! Would absolutely recommend Jeremy to anyone looking for the best care for their fluffy family members!
Elena was wonderful and took good care of my two boys. I got routine check-ins from her each time she came by and spent good quality time with them. She saved my skin before I was due to be on holiday for 2 weeks in Europe. I would definitely recommend her and would gladly book her again to stay with my dogs.
