“Chloe did an amazing job!! We will be using her again! We had a last-minute flight cancellation and Chloe responded to me right away that she could watch my cats for an additional day. Her responses were timely and she left the house clean and tidy! Thanks so much, Chloe!!”
“Kathy was wonderful! She was always quick to respond and very professional when communicating. She sent detailed updates on her visits with our cats and including many pictures! I would absolutely trust her with my cats anyday and hope to use her services again in the future. Thank you, Kathy!”
“Atiyana took excellent care of our fur-babies while we were away. She attended to them at the same time each day (which is nice because they could look forward to a set routine and feeding schedule) and was responsive to a special request we had during our trip. Highly recommend!”
“Annabelle did such a wonderful job cat sitting for us - the cats were happy and healthy when we got home. One of our cats is relatively new to our home, a recent foster/rescue and she seemed really relaxed and happy when we got home. We can’t recommend her highly enough, she is already doing more cat sitting for us this coming weekend!! Thank you Annabelle!”
“I’ve been using Anna for the last month to care for my elder cat in comfort care. Anna is a true animal lover and I feel totally at ease knowing Holland is well taken care of. Initially meeting Anna she asked smart questions to make sure she had his medications in line and this was so appreciated. Her visits are timely, she’s reliable, trustworthy and I highly recommend her services. Reach out to her for sure!”
“Emma took very good care of my cat Tootsie - feeding, water, treats and keeping the litter box clean. She tried very patiently to get her out from under the bed. I will definitely book Emma afain on my next trip!”
“This was the first time I used Gianna for pet sitting. Everything was seamless! I felt very comfortable with her taking care of my cat for drop in visits. She sent me pictures every visit which made me really happy!”
“I was very pleased with Kate D and the care that she provided for my 4 year old tuxedo cat, Belle. I was away for 11 days and received reports from Kate daily giving me peace of mind in my absence. My cat is generally slow to warm up to new people; but, she took to Kate right away. I would highly recommend leaving your beloved pet with Kate.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs my whole life! There was never a moment growing up where we didn’t have a house pet. I grew up on a farm so while I’m versed in cats and dogs, I also have experience with cows, horses, and chickens! Most of our pets have lived well into their teen years so I have great experience with senior animals, including lightly exercising them and administering medications! I’m currently working part-time and my schedule is pretty flexible, I will always make time to ensure that your pets are well taken care of and safe! I do live in an apartment, however, there’s plenty of public parks around me where I can take your dog walking/running. We do have a cat in the apartment, but he loves all animals and loves spending his time with other cats and dogs!
“Izabella was great! She was timely and super communicative. She sent so many photos which I love when being away from my cat. I knew Stevie was in good hands while I was gone and I would definitely book Izabella again!”
“5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dakota was absolutely amazing! She took care of my home, two cats, and even a fish while I was away, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She gave my pets so much love and attention, sent regular updates and photos, and left my home spotless. I came back to happy animals and everything just as I left it. I felt completely at ease knowing Dakota was there. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and communicative sitter!”
About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was 13 years old, focusing on providing a safe and comforting environment. Having multiple dogs of my own, I am able to understand behaviors and can adapt to their needs. As a college of charleston student I have flexibility and breaks in my schedule where I can provide care for your dog or your cat. I prioritize well being and safety of the pets in my care. I will make sure the environment is comfortable for them and I will accommodate their needs. I will also make sure to communicate regularly with the pets owners.
