Priyanka was wonderful with Carlos and Chief! Her communication was great and she provided the best photos of them while I was away - even better than I get sometimes! I would highly recommend Priyanka for your cat-sitting needs.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for my friends and family and love to play, walk, feed or just hang out with them! I used to dog walk every week at a shelter growing up and had fun taking dogs of all size! I am currently in-between jobs so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your pets. I can be a sitter in your house if you need someone to feed and play with them or I can take them out on walks. My cat back home is super needy and always needs pets so I’m used to giving lots of love. I always attend to her needs and will do the same with your pets!

About: Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life, not just a service I provide. I offer dog sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits, with care tailored to each pet’s personality, routine, and emotional needs. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or calm and senior, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Daily activities may include: Long or short walks based on energy level Feeding according to your schedule and dietary needs Playtime, enrichment activities, and mental stimulation Frequent photo and video updates for peace of mind I treat every dog as an individual, never rushing interactions and always prioritizing their well-being. I have long lasting experience taking care of dogs, more than 10 years. I can take walk dogs after 3 pm every day. I am a teacher, and I currently work every morning until 3 pm. I would walk dogs after 3:30 pm to make my day full. I would follow any direction the pet owner gives me. I would make sure the pet is comfortable and most of all I would keep everybody and everything safe.

About: I always take into account the priorities of the pet owner to ensure that I give the best care to their pets. I want to provide the best care for them so I ask detailed questions. That way the pets are getting the best care possible! I am currently in grad school full time and not working, so this will be my only other priority. I can be flexible as long as I have a day's worth of notice I ask detailed questions in order to ensure that I take care of the pets as per the owner's request. That way both of us are on the same page.

Karollyne follows instructions super well & is genuinely caring for my cats. When it was too cold and I had my window open, she closed it so that my kitties will not catch a cold. It’s the small details that matter! I would definitely book with her again.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and am comfortable adapting to all personalities ~ from energetic and social to more shy or sensitive. Growing up, our home always had multiple dogs, so I’m very used to different temperaments, routines, and dynamics. I’ve also had hands-on experience supporting pregnant dogs and caring for litters, including situations where extra attention and patience were needed early on. Over time, I’ve learned that every dog is different, and I take the time to understand their behavior, energy, and needs so they feel safe and comfortable. My own dog is very social and friendly, and since we’re new to the area, she would love to make some new friends as well. I’m happy to care for your dog in whatever way they need ~ whether that’s boarding, drop-in visits, or a relaxed walk around your neighborhood. My goal is always to provide dependable care and make the experience easy and stress-free for both you and your pet. I look forward to connecting with you! I currently work full-time in a hybrid remote role. I offer my services on days I’m working from home so I can give your dog consistent attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. If you need boarding services, you can expect that your dog would spend their time lounging in my home with me and my dog, Khalesi. We have a fenced-in dog park within the community, but I prefer to take them on long strolls near the grassy areas so they can get plenty of new smells to sniff.

Irene was a fantastic cat sitter. She was reliable, communicative and very playful with our cat. She even brought her iPad to entertain our cat with cat games. He alap ate his wet food while she was around, which let us know he felt very comfortable and taken care of by her.

About: I’ve cared for friends’ multi-cat homes while they were away, keeping litter areas clean and maintaining feeding routines with calm, attentive check-ins My availability is mostly in the evenings, with weekend visits possible depending on location.

For cats, this includes maintaining clean litter areas, following feeding schedules, refreshing water, and giving gentle attention. I monitor behavior and wellbeing to make sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. Visits are mostly in the evenings and weekends, and I’m happy to discuss specific routines during the meet and greet

About: A strong commitment to treating every pet “like you do,” with a satisfaction-focused approach centered on each animal’s happiness, comfort, and well-being. Having 20+ years of professional pet care experience, giving owners confidence that their pets are in knowledgeable hands Paws N Claws Pet Service is a full-time part of my daily and weekly routine. Each day is organized around scheduled pet visits, feeding, walks, playtime, medication administration, and client updates. Throughout the week, I coordinate bookings, communicate with pet owners, and tailor care to each pet’s individual needs to ensure they receive reliable, personalized attention. I provide personalized, in-home care that keeps pets comfortable in their familiar environment and follows their normal routine as closely as possible. During each visit, I make sure they have fresh food and water, potty breaks or litter box cleaning, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection and attention. If needed, I can administer medications according to the owner’s instructions and monitor each pet for any changes in behavior or health. I also send regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away. Every pet is treated with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I would give my own.

Kayla was absolutely WONDERFUL with our two cats. Our cats are still acclimating to one another, and not only did she spend time with each of them but she did an amazing job at having them play together, listening to them if they had enough, and overall giving them many positive bonding experiences with each other. I also have a much more involved feeding routine/schedule for them than most people, and she followed everything perfectly. I always looked forward to her reports and pictures, and she was very thorough on her stay and how the cats were acting/feeling. I'm 100% sure they will miss her (especially Filo) and I will definitely call on Kayla again in the future!

Jade did a great job with drop-in visits for George.

George was well cared for, and everything was handled smoothly overall. We felt comfortable having her in our home.

She’s helped Milo learn how to go on little bike runs with her and tires our little boy out when needed! She’s also so patient with Milo. We love her and recommend her for all your puppy needs :))))

About: I have always loved animals but was unable to start owning my own dogs until about 11 years ago. I've had two different pit bulls but have been the proud owner of my Puggle, Mama, for the longest time out of the three. Her owner was about to surrender her to the pound so I jumped in and re-homed her. Over the years, I learned a lot about puppies, walking, training, feeding, dog behavior and veterinary care. My dogs have ranged in age from under one to over 13 so I have experience with dogs of all ages. I am accustomed to walking dogs in all kinds of weather also! I don't have a yard but there is a park very close to my house where I can walk your dog(s). Your pooch will have no shortage of love, companionship and playtime! I also can administer medication if needed. I am currently working from home so I will be able to provide plenty of attention and follow routines with ease. I do go to the gym 4 to 5 times a week and other than that if I leave the house I'm not gone for long. I am able to schedule errands/outings around caring for your pet. I do not have a yard but I live less than a block away from a park that is pet friendly. I am accustomed to walking a dog daily and anticipating his or her needs because I have owned a dog for years. However, my dog Mama, is a semi-permanent resident at my parents' house in Delaware so I am able to provide undivided attention to your pet(s). I don't have children or any other pets in the house. I typically do not allow pets on the couch or in my bed but I can put a cover on the couch if need be and pets can sleep on a dog bed in my room at night.

Junhui was excellent with our two cats. She followed all the instructions very carefully and was respectful of the facts that we have extremely shy cats, who aren't trustworthy of everyone. She took care feeding them and making sure everything was comfortable for them in our absence. Definitely recommend her!

About: Hi, I’m Aria✨ I’m a JC local who enjoys long walks at the park (with your dog). My love for animals started when I volunteered to dog-walk and help find dogs a home at an SPCA in Charleston, SC for 3 yrs. Since then, I’ve been taking care of my family, friends, and neighbors dogs :) I’ll only confirm a dog-walk and dog sitting shift if I’m working from home and can guarantee I can be present with your fur baby •Affection (dogs love company that make them feel comfortable and loved). I’m always sure to make them feel seen and cared for. It can be tough on them being away from their caregiver. So affection goes a long way. •Making sure they’re fed & hydrated (always attending them according to their usual/specific routine).

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the genuine love and patience I have for animals. I have experience caring for both playful puppies and senior dogs with special needs. I’m attentive, gentle, and always focused on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and happy. I’m also familiar with basic training, giving medications, and making sure every pet feels loved like they’re part of the family. Pet care is a big part of my everyday life because of my two dogs, Bobby and Dutch. They’ve taught me the importance of consistency, patience, and being present. My daily routine already includes early morning walks, feeding schedules, cleaning up, and plenty of playtime and cuddles. Caring for them has made me naturally organized and attentive to the needs of other pets. Whether it’s a puppy full of energy or a senior dog needing a slower pace, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and part of the family. Whether caring for pets in my home or my client’s, I prioritize making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their usual routine closely including meals, walks, potty breaks, and playtime while creating a calm, pet-friendly environment. I’m experienced with crate training and can help reinforce good habits, making sure pets feel secure in their space. I’m also comfortable administering medications when needed, carefully following instructions to ensure their health and well-being. I keep everything clean, provide regular updates to owners, and treat every pet like family. Thanks to Bobby and Dutch, I understand the importance of patience, structure, and lots of love in pet care.
