House Sitting Charleston

“There’s a saying that goes something like, “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel”, and I got the feeling that my dogs were well cared for while I was gone and happy when I got home. Additionally, I forgot to leave a house key and had to call my apartment emergency after hours line to get Alyssa into my house. She didn’t say, Well you didn’t leave me a key so, I left”. She communicated with me and worked through the issue until she was in and looking after my pups. Thanks, Alyssa for being a caring care giver to my pups and for working through the obstacles. I highly recommend, Alyssa!”

About: I have owned dogs and cats and have happily helped friends and family care for their pets for decades. I have housed friends’ pets, taken neighbor’s/friend’/family’s dogs for walks and hikes and even on camping trips and frequently stop in to check on pets and offer affection and quick care. I genuinely adore time with animals, and want all pets to have the best quality of life. I would love to help provide that for your beloved pets. I’m currently working part-time, so I have a flexible schedule. I am available for boarding, as well as daily car, walks or check-ins. Availability may vary, depending on the day of the week that care is needed. I have a fenced-in yard and two dogs to keep your dog company. I also have a cat, but I can keep any pets separate or crate your dog if needed. Our home has plenty of space for exploring and lounging and central air for hot summer days. I can stay at your place with your pet, if that is a preferable option. I am flexible throughout the week for day care and to take your pet on walks or other outdoor adventures that you are comfortable with.

“Dave went above and beyond to take the best care of our Great Dane mastiff while we were away. He was having neck issues and Dave was amazing with all of his special needs and keeping us in the loop. We felt so thankful for him and knowing our big love was in really great capable hands!”

About: Hi I’m Savannah! I have taken care of my dogs and friends pups for 5 years. I provide a loving home filled with lots of hikes and treats for my pup Pinot and I’d be thrilled to hike/take care of your pup. I do freelance work Monday through Friday and have a flexible schedule during the week to walk or watch pups. I am mostly home on the weekends unless I am on the slopes but with advance notice I can be flexible then as well. I live in a safe and dog friendly neighborhood, have a fenced in back yard, and one 5 year old dog Pinot. I am allergic to cats so no cats but dogs are welcome.

“Catie was a wonderful dog sitter! Our dog normally gets depressed when we travel and she'll not eat. It's been a game changer having Catie dog sit at the house. Our dog actually ate and was happy! She left a sweet note and took great care of not only the dog, but the house as well. Thanks Catie!! We'll definitely be rebooking.”

“Mark was fantastic! We have a loveable golden retriever with some health issues and we are definitely anxious dog parents. It was so nice to know our pup was in good hands while we were gone. Mark came over for a meet 'n greet beforehand, was great about sending updates, was reliable with all of Maui's medical needs, chill about our helicopter parenting, and so sweet and loving toward our doggo. And he took good care of our house too. We would recommend him to all dog parents! :)”

About: I will hike, mountain bike, trail run, paddle board or just walk with your dog to let them let loose of all their energy. Whatever your dog needs, I got it! My schedule is completely free! Currently in Physical Therapy school, but I have online classes the rest of summer! Whenever you need dog care, it works for me! I treat your pets/home as my own. I leave places better than what I found them. I currently cannot take your pets in my home due to living in an apartment.

About: I’ve been involved with various animal rescue organizations for more than 30 years and have extensive experience caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, needs, and medical conditions. I’ve fostered many animals over the years and have helped with adoptions, medical visits, home visits, shelter assessments, and fundraising and community events. I’ve also personally rescued and cared for animals with health issues and have extensive experience with dogs who may need extra patience, understanding, or specialized care. I’m very active and love having dogs join me in the fun. I hike, bike, ski, and paddleboard, and I’m always happy to have a furry companion along for an adventure. Of course, I’m equally happy spending a quiet day at home with a dog curled up on the couch getting plenty of love and extra snuggles. My two senior dogs recently passed away, and I truly miss having dogs in my home. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and I would love the opportunity to give your dog the same attention, affection, and care I’ve given my own. I have a very flexible schedule that will allow me to accommodate your pet's needs. I like to adhere to a schedule your pet is accustomed to. My pets were all indoor dogs, well taken care of, and slightly spoiled. They had regular feeding, exercise, and medication schedules. I will adhere to your pet's regular schedule as much as possible.

“Makensie is wonderful! She is great with our dog! She stayed with while we went out of town for the weekend. He is afraid of thunder and she held him and got him through the storm . She was very responsive and left the house I. Great condition. I would highly recommend her!”

About: I worked as a nanny for over 10 years which included pet care. Anything from daily walks and feeding to overnight extended care. I love the chance to make new furry friends and share my favorite walks. I work remotely so have full flexibility to work when I want and when is best for your furry fmaily members. I find caregiving to be a win win. I make a new friend and have someone to go on walks with and pets get the love and attention they need. The health and safety of your pet is number one for me. I have a large area in my home where animals can relax with sunlight, houseplants, and water. For care in your home, I’m happy to follow whatever protocols you have established. Nothing is too niche, trust me. My childhood dog wouldn't eat his dinner unless I 'sprinkled special flavour powder' (I just mimed grabbing something from the cupboard) over his food. It's important to me that you and your loved one's routine is maintained as much as possible.

“Stephanie was fantastic! She communicated well and sent photos everyday! She was great with our very active German shepherd! She also left the house perfectly clean. We will definitely use her again.”

About: I am comfortable taking care of all kinds of pets besides cats and dogs including reptiles, snakes, birds and even insects. I grew up with many different kinds of pets in the home so I am adaptable to whatever needs your pet might have. I work as a substitute teacher and I schedule my work a few days to a week in advance so I may be less available on any given week if you don’t communicate with me a week in advance. When sitting in the client’s home I’ll set alarms to make sure that I feed and walk the dog at the required times, I prefer to walk dogs on leash so please let me know where those are before I come to sit (I’ll also ask you if not).

“Madison was fantastic! She took great care of our boys, and our home. The boys loved their daily hikes and playtime and she sent the most adorable photos of them throughout her stay. We would happily have her stay with them again, anytime.”

“Brody was professional, responsive, and communicative. He got along so well with my big, energetic dogs and took good care of our home. I’ll definitely book with him again!”

Breanna L.

“Andrew was an excellent sitter. He was attentive and communicative and very loving to our two senior pups. They are not without their elderly baggage and he cared for them as we would’ve. He also does great pet photography and was very respectful of our home during his stay. We look forward to using him again in the future!”

Jennifer K.

“Jonah was spectacular!! My Winston was very well cared for and loved on while I was gone. In addition, my house remained clean and Jonah even put the sheets in to wash and dry! He maintained the security of my home and was super respectful. Hoping to make him my "go to" sitter!”

Margaret T.

“Kirk did an excellent job watching our sweet senior dogs! He sent photos every day and our home looked immaculate when we returned. His professionalism and communication were outstanding. We can’t wait to use him again!”

About: I have two dogs of my own that I love and care for! One of them is 7 and the other is 2. My schedule is super open at the moment so I'm able to really be there for your dog through out the day! My schedule is very open. Pet care is already part of my daily routine since I have two dogs of my own. I’m used to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure pets get plenty of attention. Because of that, it’s easy for me to include additional pets into my routine and give them consistent, reliable care throughout the day. I provide attentive care based on each pet’s routine and needs. In my home, I keep a safe, clean environment with plenty of playtime, walks, and attention. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s usual schedule to keep them comfortable and stress free. I have two dogs of my own, so I’m very experienced with daily pet care and making sure pets feel safe and loved.

“John and his wife are a great team. They took great care of Winston for a full week and stayed at the house with him. Lots of pictures and videos which I really appreciated!”

About: Grew up with dogs and have many years of hands-on experience caring for them in everyday life, including feeding, walking, basic training, and understanding different breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. I’m confident handling both calm and active dogs and adjusting to their individual needs. I now also own two cats, which has given me additional experience with feline behavior, routines, and creating a safe, stress-free environment. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and treat every animal with patience, responsibility, and genuine care. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m available for pet care throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and on short notice when needed. I can’t take pets into my own home because I have two cats, but I’m very happy to stay at the client’s home and provide care there. I make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and keep their normal routine while you’re away.
