About: Alex and I have both been caring for dogs for over 15 years. My husband and I work as a team, providing "two sets of eyes" to make sure your dog is always well attended to. Someone is alway home to provide potty breaks, walks, and companionship. We are naturally detail-oriented when it comes to following your specific feeding or oral medication instructions. Having raised puppies all the way to senior dogs and successfully potty-trained them. Our schedule is very flexible, ensuring your dog is rarely left alone. My husband sets his own hours, and I work a rotating schedule of two days on, two days off. This means we can provide 'two sets of eyes' and nearly constant companionship for your pet throughout the week. Our backyard is completely fenced, making it ideal for supervised zoomies and relaxing in the sun. Since we’re a team, your dog gets the benefit of constant supervision. For added peace of mind, we are located within walking distance of a local veterinary hospital, ensuring that professional help is seconds away in the unlikely event of an emergency.
About: I have had dogs & cats ever since I have remembered and have found my favorite memories with my dogs & cats to be playing and walking with them! *the dogs I currently have do not live with me and live with my family back home* I am available almost always throughout the week and weekend. I have classes Tuesday and Thursday before noon and Monday and Wednesday in the late afternoon. My dogs safety is always something I am constantly worrying about and care a lot for. When it comes to taking your dog on a walk I can assure you they will be safe with me.
“Carley was great. Very personable and kind. She sent pictures and updates daily and Mocha seemed to be very happy. I would certainly use her again and strongly recommend her.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my natural niche for training and understanding animals. I’ve worked with playful puppies who need consistency and positive reinforcement, as well as senior dogs who benefit from gentle routines and extra patience. I adapt quickly to each dog’s personality — whether it’s teaching basic commands, reinforcing good habits, or providing calm companionship. My focus is always on making pets feel safe, loved, and confident while keeping owners reassured with regular updates. With a blend of training know-how and genuine care, I make sure every pup gets more than sitting — they get guidance, comfort, and a buddy they can trust. As a self‑employed concierge, I have the flexibility to fit pet care naturally into my daily routine. Because I set my own hours, I’m able to offer reliable availability for morning walks, midday check‑ins, and evening cuddle sessions. Much of my work is with seniors here in Charleston, which keeps me local and allows me to stay close by for pet care. Whether it’s weekdays or weekends, I adjust my schedule around each pet’s needs — making sure they feel loved, secure, and cared for while you’re away. I currently don’t have a yard, but I make sure dogs get plenty of safe outdoor time through walks, play, and exercise in nearby pet‑friendly areas. Inside, I provide a clean, cozy environment where pets can relax and feel at home. They’re welcome on the couch for snuggles, and if your pup is used to sleeping in bed — and is clean — I’m happy to keep that routine going so they feel comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely, keep spaces tidy, and provide a calm, secure atmosphere. Communication is always a priority, so I send regular updates and photos to give owners peace of mind. My focus is on safety, trust, and creating a loving environment where pets feel truly at home.
About: I grew up with a shetland sheepdog for ten years. Although what I believe sets me apart is that in college my boyfriend and I got a great pyrenees, Australian Shepard mix. Raising a puppy was equally difficult and rewarding, but as I am home from college for the summer, I miss my dog Auggie desperately. I would love to help families out with their own beloved dogs! I have experience with dogs of any age. My dog Auggie is very friendly, but my dog growing up did not love other dogs or people, so I am used to all types of dogs! I am currently home for most of the summer and will not be taking on a job this summer as I am taking some time to relax before starting law school next year. I have a few trips planned, but besides that I am free almost every day with flexible hours to accommodate your schedule. The services I am hoping to offer is dog walking and and drop ins at client's homes. I am used to giving all my attention to my own dog during walks and carrying treats to work on pulling. I have recently been working on running with my own dog! I can promise I will provide my outmost attention to your dog during any walks or drop ins!

Amanda did a wonderful job taking care of Austen. She sent pictures and gave me updates regularly. Her home was very nice and dog-friendly. I could tell she truly enjoyed being with Austen. Plus she is a very nice person. I would definitely have her take care of Austen again.
Mary is absolutely the best! She watched Chloe while I was out of town and consistently sent updates and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. She made sure Chloe was walked, comfortable, and truly felt at home. I will definitely be using Mary anytime I need care for Chloe in the future.
Kristen and her husband Charlie were absolutely wonderful with Cooper! They were extremely accommodating and great communicators throughout the entire weekend, keeping us updated and sending plenty of pictures. Cooper was very well cared for and clearly comfortable during his stay. We truly appreciate their kindness and attention, and we would absolutely recommend them. We will definitely be reaching out to Kristen again the next time we’re out of town!
Mike was fantastic with our dog!!! He was super responsive, made us feel so comfortable, took great care of Tunny, sent pictures/videos- overall a wonderful experience! Even when our flight was delayed and we had to pick up later than expected, he was accommodating and reliable. It’s so evident that he has such a love for animals!
Christina (and family) was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of Roux over the holiday and kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear Roux received lots of love, attention, and care during the stay. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would happily book with Christina again.
India was wonderful with Saylor! She was accommodating and communicative throughout the entire stay, which gave us great peace of mind. Saylor seemed happy and well cared for, and she was pleasantly tired when we picked her up — always a sign of a fun, fulfilling visit. We would definitely book with India again!
Margaret was so great to work with and provided excellent care for our Millie! She was flexible, positive, and portrayed an easy demeanor. She communicated well with us throughout the stay and shared photos. I felt good about leaving my pup with her and hopefully will have the chance to use Margaret in the future.
Kiera was the perfect person to care for my super anxious pup. He responded well to her sweet and caring nature. The fact that she has fostered dogs, told me that she truly has a heart for caring for them. Kiera communicated promptly and clearly with me. I will definitely be using her services again.
