About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 13. I’ve always had a cat growing up and when I was old enough to get my own pet I had a dog. I work part time at a dog boarding facility and when I’m not there I’m home. So I have plenty of free time to do walks, dog parks, naps on the couch, play time, and anything else needed for your fur baby. I care for pets like they are my own with unlimited pets & love. I also treat other homes like it’s my own clean, tighty, and in place.

We needed help with our pup last minute and Misty was quick to respond and willing to work with our schedule. During the meet and greet I could tell she was very comfortable with animals as well as knowledgable. Overall Misty was amazing to work with and I felt at ease knowing our fur baby was in good hands.

Brooklynn has been a frequent caretaker for my elder, 15 year old black lab. When caring for Halee she is responsible for administering her medications, preparing her food, taking her on short walks, and aiding her if she has any mobility issues. She has always met all of my standards for my babies care, i’ve never had an issue. With this, she has taken care of my spoiled cat giving her so much love and affection. Both of my animals adore Brooklynn and we couldn’t imagine having anyone but her!

Katherine has been a wonderful colleague to work alongside in veterinarian school. She is very compassionate about animals and knows how important the human-animal bond is. She has been very active with her foster dogs and her dogs of her own. She goes on daily walks with them and takes them all over to adventure and gets her foster dogs comfortable with the outside world. I would leave my pets with her any day as they would be in great hands!

About: I am a proud mother of a 4yr old son and an 10 yr old daughter.. My daughter is usually at school for most of the day. However, caring for both full time I have come to notice animals stimulate both kids and teach them respect, responsibility and routine. We are excited to em"bark" on this new chapter in life and cant wait to start. Together, I believe all 3 of my family unit would not only love, but sincerely enjoy even the smallest and largest pets while their 'parents' are away or just need some attention. With summer upon us - my schedule (and helping hands) have become more flexible. Currently, I am available every day from 6am to 7pm. Holidays, weekends, and every day that ends in "Y"! With respect to the pet , clients home, and specific care needs, I try to always keep an open mind and heart but keeping respect in the foreground.

I highly recommend Joey as a pet sitter! He took care of my dog Oscar while I was away for a week, and I couldn't have been happier. Joey was responsible, attentive, and showed genuine care and affection toward Oscar. He followed all instructions diligently, kept me updated with regular photos and messages, and went above and beyond to ensure Oscar was happy and well-cared for. I felt completely at ease knowing Joey was looking after him. I will definitely be reaching out to Joey for future pet sitting needs.

Brianna was a fantastic walker for our two dogs. She was a great communicator, super reliable, helpful, and so detailed in her walking notes. Our dogs loved her and she was amazing with them. I felt much better leaving my pups at home during the day knowing that Brianna was going to come see and walk them. Highly recommend her!

Let this serve as a letter of affirmation that Riley J. is a very responsible person who LOVES pets. She gives the same amount of care, patience, affection and adoration as she gives her own pets (2 dogs, 2 cats and 4 ducks). She has carefully raised 1 dog from a pup (and hasn’t met a dog she doesn’t like), 1 shelter dog and at least 8 kittens ferel to tame (even bottle feeding one: people ask her to prepare kittens for households), and 4 ducks from ducklings. She is a gentle and kind but also understands how to provide positive reinforcement and enrichment and training to teach and reinforce rules. Riley is responsible in her duties and will meet and exceed expectations for care.

About: I was born and raised an animal lover! I’ve had animals my whole life and that developed into working with them on a professional level for a time. Whether it’s playing fetch with your energetic puppy, tiring your kitty out with all the toys, or giving your elderly furr babies the extra care they need I will do it with the upmost love and care! I am a part time server at a local restaurant. With only working a few hours a day that leaves me a lot of time to work with your furr babies! For clients home I will treat it with all the respect and only go and treat for the animals in the areas you feel comfortable with! I am a very vigilant person and will always make sure your animals are safe with me!

About: Hello! 🐾 Currently, I am employed as a Veterinarian Assistant at Crestline Veterinary Clinic in Charleston. I have worked at Crestline for over five years and interned there while I was in Highschool. Caring for animals has always been a great passion of mine! I am qualified to handle and care for pets of all breeds, and even of all tempers. I am CPR trained, can administer medication, and can handle senior aid. During the week I work at Crestline from 8-5. Other than that I am free all weekends and majority of afternoon. I am available to go home on lunch to attend animals through the week. My husband also works 5 minutes away from home during the week. I do have animal like dogs and cats at home and they are friendly and even goto work with me daily but they will 100% be kept separate from animals staying at my home. I have a room and hallway made just for clients staying at my home to stay separate from my animals. I will leash walk them when we go outside for potty.
