“I have booked Monica twice now and plan to continue asking her to take care of our cats as needed. She is professional, kind, respectful, and friendly. She gives thorough updates of each visit, including all the info and pictures you could need to be sure your pets are well-taken care of. Both of our cats come to see her when she enters the house, and that is quite unusual. Evidently they both trust and like Monica, and I can't really offer higher praise than that for a pet-sitter!”

About: I’ve spent my whole life around animals and truly love caring for them like they’re my own. I currently have both a dog and a cat, so I fully understand the different needs, personalities, and routines that each pet requires. I’ve also cared for other small pets, and I’ve volunteered at local shelters, where I gained hands-on experience with animals of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’m skilled in feeding schedules, litter box and potty training, giving oral or topical medications, leash walking, basic commands, and helping anxious pets feel safe and secure. I’m especially patient with shy cats and high-energy pups, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine exactly as you prefer. I also offer house sitting, so your pets can stay in their familiar environment while you’re away. Whether your cat loves quiet companionship or your dog needs lots of playtime, I’m here to provide reliable, loving care — and plenty of updates and photos so you feel at ease too. Your pets’ happiness and comfort are always my top priority. I have open availability, which means I can easily work around your schedule — whether you need early morning visits, evening walks, or extended house sitting. I’m happy to be flexible to meet your pet’s needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always prioritize keeping things clean, respectful, and as close to the pet’s normal routine as possible. I make sure to follow all instructions carefully, from feeding times and walking schedules to litter box cleaning or medication needs. I give pets lots of attention, love, and playtime — while also respecting their boundaries and any house rules. I’m mindful of the space I’m in — I clean up after myself and the pets, avoid restricted areas, and make sure everything is left just as I found it. Whether it’s watering plants, bringing in the mail, or sending regular photo updates, I’m happy to help however I can to give peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make sure both your pets and your home are well cared for.

About: Hi there! I'm excited to offer loving, compassionate care for your pets. I have years of experience with dogs and cats of all ages, and I’m familiar with both the playful energy of puppies and the special needs of geriatric and sick animals. Experience with Puppies: Puppies are full of energy and curiosity! I have experience with potty training, leash training, and providing tons of interactive playtime. Whether it's a walk in the park, a game of fetch, or simply snuggling up after a long day, I know how to keep your puppy safe, entertained, and well-cared for. Experience with Geriatric Dogs: Older dogs hold a special place in my heart. I have worked with senior dogs who require extra care, including helping with mobility issues, administering medication, and providing comfort during their golden years. I understand how important it is to offer them gentle attention, patience, and consistent care to make them feel at ease. Experience with Sick & Geriatric Cats: Caring for sick and elderly cats is something I take very seriously. I’ve worked with cats with various health conditions, including those with chronic illnesses, mobility challenges, or needing specialized diets. I have experience administering medications, ensuring they are comfortable in their space, and providing gentle interaction to help them feel secure and loved, even when they’re not feeling their best. Whether your pet is a playful puppy, a senior dog, or a kitty in need of extra TLC, I’m committed to offering the same high level of care that I would give my own. I understand how much they mean to you and will treat them with the kindness, respect, and love they deserve. I am a graduate student at UC in the PA program. I am in class most mornings to mid-afternoon during the week. It is super easy to listen to lectures while walking a dog or playing with a cat! I prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being while in your home. I follow their normal routine closely, ensuring they get their meals, walks, and rest as usual. I respect your space by keeping everything tidy and adhering to any guidelines you set for where your pet is allowed. I also provide regular updates through messages, photos, and videos, so you can feel reassured about how your pet is doing. Above all, I build trust with your pet through attention and care.

“Purrrrrrfect! So sweet and 100% professional, in all regards ?”


About: I've always had family pets, and currently have six of my own. I love walks and trips to the dog park, as well as, some couch cuddles - whatever your pet may need! After ditching my 9-5, I have a fairly open schedule! I'm looking to spend more time with animals, because honestly, what's better than that?! I live in the South Hills, so if you're close, I could easily visit multiple times per day/week. It is my goal to always promote a safe, loving experience for clients' pets. I carry dog-specific protection (pepper spray) to prevent any unfortunate encounters while out of the home and always make sure to double check the safety and security of the pet before leaving the home.

“Jessi took amazing care of my boy spike!”


About: I grew up with a lab from the time I was one until I was 12 and moved to my dad's; I always had an active role in our happy dogs life. I own two cat's now, but help my mom care for foster dogs she takes in. She is currently fostering a 2 year old Chihuahua who we take turns driving to Davis Medical Center to under go therapy and receive lots of love! I recently relocated to Charleston and am currently looking for full time work, which may limit my schedule in the future. I am currently available full time for pet care appointments. I require in person meet and greets, at central or home sites prior to the first service. This ensures that the animal has gotten my scent and associated that with their pet parent providing cues that I am a safe person to be around. Additionally, I recommend that dogs be crated in the home if alone prior to service, but this is not required. For cats, I request a list of hiding places so I can do a daily head count even if the cat is very skiddish.

About: I have had dogs for the past 20 years and I truly believe my purpose in life is to help animals. I understand and have dealt with most breeds and temperaments and really believe in providing a loving environment for your pet! I have a front and back yard that are both fenced, Multiple large crates and lots of fun areas for your pup to explore. Come meet me and my partner Lauren, check out our house and I guarantee you will feel safe leaving your family member with us! I work from home and my job is easy. I can keep a constant eye on your pet. I also have cameras in the yards. I have a fenced front yard and a fenced backyard. Both are covered by cameras. Your pet will be treated like a member of our family.

“Such a fine young gentleman! My cat is my absolute baby. He took such great care of her. It was my first time having someone babysit her for multiple days on end and he paid attention to my detailed list and was present and understanding of all my worried concerns. Without a doubt, I will be using him to help with my kitty Dyno and all her energetic needs next time I am gone. Fantastic care and great attention to detail.”

Michael K.
“Mike did an amazing job taking care of my dog while I was away! His house is super dog friendly, with plenty of space for the dogs to play and relax. Both the front and backyard are fully fenced, which was a huge plus. My dog loved running around and exploring, and I felt great knowing she was safe and secure. He took the time to learn my dog’s routine and preferences, making sure she got plenty of exercise and love. He also kept me in the loop with how my dog was doing and sent a few pictures. It was great to see my dog happy and enjoying her stay. I couldn’t be happier with the care Michael provided. If you’re looking for a safe, welcoming place to board your dog, especially with plenty of outdoor space, I highly recommend him. I’ll definitely be back!”

Charleston cat parents share their Rover experiences
Jade is a wonderful pet sitter. I felt totally comfortable leaving my cats in her care while we were away. She is very responsive and sent plenty of pictures and good updates to let us know how they were doing. I would recommend her for any pet sitting needs.

Devin was great checking in on my cats while I was out of town for a long weekend. My newer cat is still very skittish and didn't make much of an appearance during his check-in visits, but my older cat took to him right away, which is saying something since she usually takes a bit of time to warm up. Will definitely consider booking them again in the future!
