House Sitting in Chapin

“Stephanie was amazing! My oldest dog Bucky is very particular about people and can get stressed easily if his routine changes. Stephanie stayed with my animals for two nights and three days and I have never come home to Bucky being so un stressed out! She made sure to visit two times before her stay so they would get to know her. Watching her talk and interact with them on those visit helped ease the stress I felt about using a Rover for the first time.”

“Adrian was great! My dog is so energetic and loving and when I picked her up she was so tired and happy at the same time. I would recommend her to anyone!”

“Chloe was great with our animals. She checked in with me after the first night and sent me a picture of Raina and Raina looked absolutely smitten with her. Warmed my heart. She treated my animals like they were her own. Despite this booking having a hiccup, she handled it professionally and communicated effectively. We will be booking with her again in the future. Thanks Chloe!”

“Kelsey was absolutely amazing! She was very responsive and also proactive in sending us pictures of our Lacey girl. She left our home in excellent condition and super clean. Such a sweet kind person and wonderful with our fur baby. We will be booking with her again!”

“Alyssa house/pet-sat my dog and two cats for 24 days in Feb-Mar, 2023. The pets were happy, my mail was collected, the dog loved playing with her young dog, and I came back to a clean house. I recommend Alyssa as a reliable sitter or caretaker for your pet-sitting needs!”

About: I’ve always had pets growing up and some would say I prefer animals over people. I’ve been involved in rescue since 2004 and have seen firsthand just how cruel people can be. As a former vet tech, I promise to take care of your babies just like my own. You have nothing to worry about while you’re away. Lots of check ins, photos and love! I do work full time M-F but am available before and after work. Depending on location, a quick trip at lunch to say hi may work too. I’m totally available on weekends. while visiting your home, your kiddos will be safe with me. Whether it’s playing in a fenced yard or on leash, They will get all the exercise they need.

About: I have been taken an active role in the care of my own pets for as long as I can remember. I've done it all- bottle fed orphaned kittens, rescued possums, trained hard headed pups, and helped rescue dogs to come out of their shells. My absolute favorite dogs are the big ole babies who think they're about 3 pounds and don't realize they're "aggressive breeds". I currently care for my own bully mix named Tuck and my grandmother's constant companion, a long haired German Shepard named Rex. While I haven't owned a cat since college, I absolutely love to give scoops to my friend's babies (as long as they want to be held!) I am currently getting my dog training certification and would love to work with your babies! I own my own business, so I have a VERY flexible schedule and can schedule around most things. I can also work from client's homes safely if they need more intense house sitting! I am not currently offering home visits, but I do have a large fenced in yard and a house that is easily split so that guests and my babies are separate if needed. I am a firm believer in crates but will always follow the usual safety routine of the baby I'm caring for!

“This was our second time using Ken. He is so great and attentive with Chewy and tolerates all of our questions about how she’s doing which is very much appreciated. He is very understanding of her anxiety and general weirdness. It is such a blessing to be able to confidently leave her in his care and not have to be concerned about a single thing.”

“Whitney was WONDERFUL. She accommodated our request to let her dogs meet her before she house sat for us and the whole weekend she was here she sent us picture updates of the dogs. When we got back the dogs were so content and happy, the house literally looked the same as we left it, and she brought packages in off the porch for us. All the dogs got all their meds and were very happy, we’ll be using Whitney again in the future!”

“Haley did a great job taking care of our dogs for a week while we were out of town. She took them on several walks despite the Columbia heat in July. I could tell they were well loved from the pictures she sent while we were away. She also was very helpful with a water issue we had at the house while we were gone. Definitely would use her in the future!”

About: I love animals and dogs have been a part of my life for the last 20 years. I’m experienced administering medication, caring for seniors and simply having fun. I’m around full-time most weekends and early on Fridays. Monday through Thursday- in/out and not optimal for a young pup! My availability is primarily weekends. I’m super clean and will make sure the bathroom schedule is followed. While inside, we will play with toys, have nap time (if it’s a part of the plan), have meal time unless it’s free feed, etc

“MicKayla was great — she was on time everyday, sent pictures, stayed in contact with us with any updates or questions and came home to our pets being happy in house the way we left it — highly recommend to anyone and we will be booking again with her next time”

About: Hello! My name is Faith and I've owned pets my whole life and I am particularly passionate about senior pets. I love to truly engage with animals and I value their comfortability just as much as my own. I am currently working part time so I will be able to give as much attention needed for your furbabies depending on my schedule. My work hours are also flexible so I can work around it from a day-to-day basis. As I will not be offering services in my own home, I will comply with the client and pet's needs as far as safety & environment goes. Trust is a priority of mine when it comes to not only the client but the pet as well.

“Alexandria did a great job taking care of our puppy. She entertained her, took her for walks and kept me updated through texts and pictures. Before she left, she even cleaned up the toys our puppy usually leaves everywhere.”

Susan J.

“Once again Emily was nothing but wonderful caring for our pups in our home! Highly recommend her and will continue to use her for our pups in the future! Thanks again for everything, Emily!”

About: Coming from a family of animal lovers, I feel that I have inherited a passion for loving God's little creatures. I have experience in pet sitting cats, dogs, and even rats. Over the years, I've had the privilege of raising a number of different animals; some of which include: an opossum, deer, squirrels, bunnies, ducklings, gerbils, hamsters, lizards, snakes, and of course, cats & dogs! Additionally, I have experience in animal rescue and rehabilitation, senior care, and administering medication. I am currently enrolled at USC and work limited hours as an in-home caregiver for a young woman with special needs. Most of my classes are online so my schedule remains very flexible! I approach every animal with the gentleness and love that they deserve. I am happy to provide for your pet in anyway that you need!

About: I have grown up with dogs all of my life, I love dogs and cats and all animals for that matter. So in case you have another animal as well as the dogs, I am totally and conpletely willing to watch and take care of them as well. I am very good with instructions on how to take care of them in a certain way if you please. I will show them so much love and compassion, I will snuggle with them, and play with them until their satisfied or have no more energy left. I always make sure they go outside for potty breaks every so often. I will always make sure they are fed enough and if so fed the amount the owner desires. I will also make sure they get plenty of walks and exercise. I’m currently working part time, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups or kitties! I’m available on weekends and weekdays! I am the proud pet owner of a three-year-old German Shepherd and two cats one 8 year-old and one 2 year-old. I have grown up with cats and dogs my entire life so I know how to keep them entertained and loved as much as they need!

About: **small dogs only** I am a recently retired teacher and I am willing to watch your precious pup at my home or stay at your home for an additional fee while you are away. My home is in the Irmo area, and I will watch and love your dog as I did my own morkie, Izzie who, sadly, passed away in September 2023, and our recently adopted 4-year-old Shih-Tzu Gus. We walk on leash only, have a fenced yard, a nice neighborhood to walk, and parks nearby. There will be plenty of play time, nap time, and fresh air. I understand how your pup is your baby, and I will provide the same attention and love you give. I only keep one client’s pups at a time so I can provide that undivided attention they need. My lap is ready for your pup, and belly rubs and snuggles are my specialty. Contact me to discuss pet/house sitting or arrange a meet & greet if you’d be more comfortable before booking. I am retired as of 5/31/24 and have plenty of time and love for your fur baby. I will stay in contact with you and provide pictures and video, whatever you desire. I have a fenced yard and plenty of room inside my house and my heart. I will administer meds if needed and stay in touch with you as you desire.

“Braelyn was great. Pearl was calm and at ease with her (even though there were massive thunderstorms and electricity went out one night). Communicative and helpful. Would definitely ask her to sit with Pearl again.”
