House Sitting Central Pacolet

“Jonathan is an awesome dog sitter! I will definitely hire him again in the future. He kept me informed about how Bear was doing during the entire stay. I came home to my home being in great shape too. Bear was happy to see me, but I think.he misses Jonathan.”

About: Hi! My name is Melissa, and I would love the opportunity to care for your pets and home while you're away. I know how important it is to feel confident that your animals are safe, loved, and comfortable, and I take that responsibility seriously. I'm dependable, patient, and attentive, and I enjoy spending time with animals of all personalities, whether they are playful, shy, energetic or just want a calm companion nearby. I'm happy to follow your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication instructions, crate routines, and any special preferences. When house sitting, I'm also respectful of your home. I can bring in mail or packages, water plants, take trash out, keep things tidy and make sure your home looks cared for while you're gone. Why I'm a good fit: I understand that every pet is different, so I'll take the time to learn your pet's needs, habits, and personality. I'm careful with instructions, communicative, and happy to send updates and photos so you can relax while you're away. Whether you need help for a weekend, a vacation, or a longer stay, I'll do my best to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable and loved. Services I Can Help With: Dog sitting, cat sitting, house sitting, feeding, walks, playtime, basic home care, and regular updates while you're away. I'd be happy to meet you and your pets beforehand to make sure everyone feels comfortable. I grew up with dogs and cats. I have also cared for the pets of my neighbors and friends. I am comfortable with senior dogs, and can give medications. My schedule is flexible, and I'm happy to work with you to make sure your pets stay on their normal routine. I can help with drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, litter box care, and house sitting while you're away. I will always follow your instructions closely and make sure your pets get dependable care, attention, and companionship. When caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and calm in their familiar environment. I will carefully follow all instructions for feeding, walks, medications if needed, litter boxes, crates, doors, gates, and any special routines. For dogs, I'm careful with leashes, doors, and outdoor time. For cats, I understand that some need space and patience, while others enjoy playtime and attention. I'm also respectful of your home and can bring in mail, water plants, take out trash, and keep things tidy. I'm happy to send updates and photos so you know your pets and home are in good hands.

“Janisa was truly amazing! She was incredibly responsive, answering right away and asking questions when needed. She followed every direction and sent so many pictures of our dogs, which was reassuring. The dogs absolutely loved her, and we felt completely confident leaving them in her care. She was trustworthy, respectful, and left our home exactly how we left it. We will 100% be rebooking her in the future. highly recommend! :)”

“Alex is amazing with animals and was great with my dog daisy. I have a 2-year old mountain feist that still has a lot of energy and Alex was able to give her the exercise and attention that she needed while I was away.”

“Mikayla, as always, was amazing. Our doggo’s love her and so do we. She always goes above and beyond. Had some things going on with our house while we were away and she went out of her way to help us with it. Can’t recommend her enough, she’s always our first choice.”

“This is the 2nd time Mya has house/pet sat for us and I feel very comfortable with her in my home! And our skittish dog seems to be warming up to her, which is always a good sign!”

About: My résumé includes dogs, cats, muddy boots, mystery noises in barns, and convincing animals that the thing they absolutely do not want to do is actually a great idea. I've learned that patience, consistency, and a pocket full of treats or a favorite toy solve most problems. Animals have always been a huge part of my world. On any given day, I might be caring for horses, spending time with my dogs and cats, or helping a nervous animal feel comfortable in a new situation. I understand that every pet is different. Some want a long walk and a game of fetch. Some want a quiet companion who respects their space. Some have very strong opinions about breakfast arriving precisely on time. I have experience caring for animals of all ages, from energetic youngsters to seniors who need a slower pace and a little extra patience. I'm comfortable with large dogs, multi-pet households, and pets with established routines that need to be followed carefully. Friends often describe me as observant and dependable. I pay attention to details, communicate clearly, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal's personality. Whether your pet is an adventure buddy, a professional napper, or a lovable troublemaker, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you're away. As a lifelong animal owner, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I will treat them with the same attention and respect I give my own. I currently have flexible availability most days of the week and can often accommodate pet care requests around my existing animal care responsibilities. Caring for animals is already a part of my daily routine, so I understand the importance of consistency, communication, and showing up when expected. Beginning in August, my availability will shift as I start graduate school, and I will primarily be available on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays. I believe in being upfront about scheduling and only accepting bookings that I can fully commit to, so you can count on reliable care and clear communication. Every pet has their own routine, and I do my best to follow it as closely as possible. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets have fresh water, meals (if needed), potty breaks, exercise, and attention tailored to their personality. Some pets want to play, some want belly rubs, and some prefer a quiet companion who respects their space. For walks, I focus on safety, consistency, and making sure your dog gets both physical exercise and mental stimulation. I pay attention to weather conditions, energy levels, and each dog's comfort and confidence. I also keep an eye on the little things. As someone who has cared for animals for many years, I know that changes in appetite, energy, mobility, or behavior can be important. If I notice something unusual, I will communicate it promptly. In a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the household itself. My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable and cared for while you're away, and for you to come home to a happy pet and a home just as you left it.

“Hanna agreed to help us out on short notice. She was kind, compassionate and took care of our pups. They seemed to enjoy her and will definitely be booking her again!”

“A huge thank you to Isabella for making our first trip away from our pup worry free. This was the first time in eight years Rocky has been left with someone other than family. She was an absolute rockstar! She reassured my husband and I that Rocky was in the best hands possible. She came to our home to take care of Rocky for the duration of our trip. The entire time we were away, we received photos and texts updating us on Rocky’s adjustment. Turns out Rocky was fine. It was his parents that needed reassurance, which, by the way she was completely understanding of. I would 1000% recommend Isabella. She was patient loving towards our baby and extremely responsible. She was right he was in the best hands possible we will be using her again.”

“Katie was great! We have an older dog who loves people. Katie was attentive to her needs and was prompt, friendly to our girl and took her for many walks. I highly recommend Katie.”

“Diego was a godsend. He was willing to make two home visits so Patch could get to know him better. Patch was clearly very comfortable with Diego, Diego check in regularly, sent photos, and left my come home cleaner than he found it. Even washed linens and towels. Patch and I have a new friend for sure. I highly recommend Diego. PS Being new to the area I also got some great suggestions for restaurants and coffee houses.”

“Erin did a great job watching our dog Kaya! We were out of town for the night and Erin made sure Kaya was well taken care of! She sent numerous photos and treated Kaya like she was her own!”

Jennifer G.

“We needed someone to house/dog sit while we were out of town for a week. Jonathan was great! We could tell the dogs got lots of long walks and plenty of attention. We would definitely rebook him!”

About: I’ve spent years caring for pets for friends and family, including walking, drop-in visits, and overnight pet sitting. I’m comfortable with animals of all sizes and energy levels, from playful puppies to relaxed seniors. I currently live with and help care for three dogs (ages 1, 3, and 12), so I’m very familiar with managing different needs! I work part-time hours, so my time is pretty open overall. My schedule is set for each week, so my availability will be posted well in advance. I make sure to keep a consistent eye on animals even if they seem to be low maintenance. That includes indoor/outdoor time and during walks. If you have any safety concerns regarding your pet, just reach out.

About: I have had dogs all of my life since I was 4 years old. I didnt start to take up the responsibility to take care of them until I was about 7 or 8 years old. I have had a range of dog breeds and sizes in my care from a golden retriever to a toy Aussie. I love take care, play and just hang out with animals. I currently work as a middle school teacher so my summers are pretty free! Whether it’s a one day check in or a vacation, I will happily spend my summer with your pups! I will follow whatever needs you have for your dog(s) whether I have to house sit, walk, or just hang out with your animal for the day. I want to make sure you are comfortable with the care I give them.

“Kashawna was incredibly caring and kept us in the loop on any changes in our babies while we were gone. We will absolutely be using her services again!”

“My husband and I are so grateful to have met Audra. She stayed in our home with our two cats for a week (housesitting) and took such good care of them. We came home to a clean house and happy, healthy kitties. Audra is very kind, patient, sincere, reliable and trustworthy. I have a lot of anxiety when I travel and have to leave my pets but Audra went above and beyond to make sure we had nothing to worry about. The cats warmed up to her very quickly and we felt assured that they were being loved on and well cared for while we were away. We highly recommend Audra for your pet sitting needs!”

“While house sitting with our Bluetick Ted noticed a leak coming from an outdoor pump to our pool. He notified me and then helped coordinate with our repair man to get it fixed within hours. If it wasn’t for Ted we would have come home to an empty pool and a burned out pump. He is now earned the title of SUPER TED!!!”

“Ariel was amazing with our golden retriever Milo! We ended up going on a last minute trip and Ariel was extremely accommodating and made everything so much easier for us! She was very nice and great at communicating with us! She was also an extremely clean house guest while she stayed with Milo! We will definitely book with Ariel again in the future😊”

About: I have been helping to care of dogs and cats for my family and friends over about 12 years now. About 4 years ago I began to volunteer with local animal shelters and rescues. Through these rescues I have been able to foster, take dogs on "field trips," and socialize so many sweet fur babies! Almost 2 years ago, I adopted my own dog named Arnie, he is a Belgian Malinois and Dobermann mix. I did all training for him when he was 4 months old and have done a ton of research on the breeds. I feel confident in all breeds, sizes, ages, and energy levels! I also currently live with a cat and have experience with cats as well. I am currently a medical student in Spartanburg and have time prior to class, during lunch, and in the afternoon/evenings to stop by and hang out with your pets! I also have the weekends off and my schedule varies every day with flexibility to meet the needs of your fur babies. I can guarantee I will do my best to meet the needs of you and your pet in the best way possible! My dog is super friendly and is great on leashed walks with other dogs and is great to play off leash in the dog park at my apartment. I also have support at home to be able to leave him with friends while I am at your house to watch your pets and do not need to have him with me at all times!
