Absolutely wonderful!!! They took incredibly great care of my reactive dog who can also be an escape ninja! I didnt have to worry about a thing and they sent photos and updates and even helped make sure the house was cleaned and everything to come back to. I'm so grateful and definitely will be using Destiney and Ben as long as I live here. Thank you!!

About: Hey pawrents! I'm Paige - your pet's new best friend! I have had puppy dogs my entire life and have been taking care of friends’ and family's pet kids for years. I have one child at the moment; a senior husky-mix, Nala, who loves to play, but she is good at reading others' behaviors. I have done boarding in the past, but residing with family at the moment, so I am only doing house sittings and drop-ins in the Charleston-South Charleston area only. I work a usual schedule of 6-2:30pm M-F in downtown Charleston, which allows for late afternoon and evening availability during the week, as well as the potential for a midday potty break during lunch, depending on location. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to take care of your pets. I'm happy to offer that for you. I promise to treat your loved ones like my own - with love, patience, and lots of belly rubs! I do not currently accept cat care due to allergies I am a federal government employee, so please note I have had an extensive background check and am fingerprinted. I have done boarding in the past, but residing with family at the moment, so I am only doing house sittings and drop-ins in the Charleston-South Charleston area only. I work a usual schedule of 6-2:30pm M-F in downtown Charleston, which allows for late afternoon and evening availability during the week, as well as the potential for a midday potty break during lunch, depending on location. Since I’m currently not offering boarding, I care for pets in their own home through house-sitting and drop-in visits. With house-sitting, I stay in your home and provide full-time care — feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship — while also keeping an eye on your home, bring in mail, water plants, and make sure everything stays tidy and secure. For drop-ins, I stop by for quick visits to check in, feed, walk, or play with your pets. I can usually do morning, evening, and even a midday visit during my lunch break if needed. My goal is to keep your pets happy and comfortable in their own space while you’re away.

Allysa was wonderful! She spent a weekend taking care of my dog and two cats and sent pictures of all 3 at least twice a day with very detailed updates. Two of them were on medication and she had no problems getting them to take their pills. I will definitely be booking with Allysa next time I need someone to watch my pets.

Devin, is amazing! He is always arriving a little before the sitting and making sure he is aware of all of my dogs needs and normal routine. He is also always providing updates on how my dog is doing. We are always very lucky to have him watch our dog!

About: I have been a pet owner for over 20 years. When I was in college I became the go to pet sitter to watch my friends and family pets for years. Because I am a bit of a stronger person, my friends know that I can handle some of their bigger dogs tugging on the leash. Also, with my beard, dogs think I am one of them. I am currently a remote worker and I can take as much time as I need to take care, play, walk, feed or whatever the client needs. Because I am a big lug myself, I allow pets to have fun and be happy loving animals. I give off alpha dog energy and dogs will understand the deep serious tone in my voice, but will also respect me after I give them lots of love and treats.

Anna was friendly, personable and responsive, always answering texts quickly. I have always had house sitters who stay for the duration. I feel it makes the gang less stressed because someone is there, even if it isn’t ’Mom’. I was a little concerned leaving my dog with her because all previous sitters had been introduced to him over time, and she just popped in and we left.(He had been mistreated by the breeder which left him with lasting trust issues.) Anna took it all in stride and performed admirably. Additionally, there were a couple of hiccups getting the booking dates coordinated (hiccups on MY side) and Anna just accepted it graciously. I would definitely feel comfortable leaving my menagerie and house in her care again.

About: I knew from a young age that taking care of animals was what I wanted to do. I started out walking dogs and I then started as a dog bather. I then started training to groom dogs and cats. I also worked at Camp Critter Creek and took care of the dogs and cats and sometimes bunnies that were boarding there.I have volunteered to walk dogs at the Animal Shelter. I can honestly say that animals feel safe around me which I attribute to them sensing my love for animals. I have a German Shepherd of my own that my family and I rescued. We also have a GSP and our little sweetheart cat Vivie. Animals bring me joy to see them happy and healthy. I am available between the hours of 1 PM midnight Monday and Friday, I am also available all day on weekends. Those hours are adjustable if needed. I prefer taking care of your pets in your home since I have two dogs and a cat at my house. I would not want your pet to feel uncomfortable. And a lot of pets prefer their own home where they feel safe and are used to their routine

About: I have a very happy Goldendoodle who is 5 years old. She’s very friendly and I take her on lots of adventures! I’ve done house sitting and pet care for the past 4 years. I’m happy to take your pups on walks, to play at the dog park or visit them at your home, whichever you prefer! I was in a house with a yard, but I recently moved to an apartment. There are very nice parks within 2 miles of my apartment and there’s a small dog park on site. I can take your dogs for walks 2-3 times per day from 7 a.m. through 8 p.m., weather permitting My apartment complex has a small dog park and there are bigger parks nearby for on-leash walks. Also, if you’re okay with it, I can take them to a big dog park in Garland.

About: I have had pets since i was born, ranging from hamsters and little spiders to horses and cows. i have also spent time working in a vet hospital, along with taking care of my father’s house and pets while he is gone. Every morning, I wake up and get ready so I can go let out my father’s dog and feed his macaw. I also collect his mail and I have been cleaning his house as days go by so that he will have something nice to come home to. I also come by later in the evening to let him out one more time before bed. I have a very friendly dog at home, and we live on a farm! So that means all the space to run! I often have treats for bribery and trust ;) I also own two bunnies, a hamster, as well as a jumping spider and a cat!!

About: 🐾 Pet Care Experience 🐾 I treat every pet like family, with loving, reliable care tailored to their needs. I’ve cared for animals of all ages and temperaments and provide a safe, structured, and calm environment. I have one dog, and my mom has another who stays in her room except to go outside. Rover dogs are always kept separate from our personal pets. My young grandchild (under 5) lives in the home, so visiting pets should be comfortable around children. We have a secure fenced yard, pet-friendly spaces, and plenty of attention to give. Whether your pet needs playtime, snuggles, or just a comfy place to stay—I’ve got them covered. ❤️ Pet care fits perfectly into my routine. I’m home and available throughout the day, so your pet will get plenty of attention, outdoor time, and companionship. I work evenings delivering luggage for the airport, but I’m typically only gone for a few hours after 9:30 PM. During the day, I’m fully available for walks, drop-ins, day care, and boarding supervision. My home has a secure fenced yard for easy potty breaks and safe play, and I only have one dog of my own—who stays separate from Rover pets. I also have a young grandchild in the home, so I maintain a structured, safety-focused environment. Your pet will be in good hands, with care that’s consistent, personalized, and reliable. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I maintain a calm, structured environment with clear boundaries and lots of love. Pets in my care have their own designated space and are always supervised during play, feeding, and downtime. I have one dog of my own, and my mother has another who stays in her room except to go outside. Rover pets are always kept separate from our personal dogs to reduce stress and ensure a smooth, safe stay. There’s a securely fenced yard for outdoor time, and the indoor space is pet-friendly, clean, and cozy. My young grandchild (under 5) lives in the home, so pets should be comfortable around children—but rest assured, interactions are always closely monitored for safety. I take the responsibility of caring for your pet seriously. You can trust that they’ll be loved, well-cared for, and treated like one of the family—because that’s what they deserve. ❤️

About: When I think of dogs & cats , I think of them as humans and part of my family. I have had animals all my life and treat them very well. I currently have a Maine Coon cat, named Charlie. Growing up, I walked the neighborhood dogs and helped take care of the neighbors cats also. I took care of dogs all breeds, sizes and personalities. I can do drop-in visits before work, on my lunch hour, and after work. I can also do over night visits if your pup loves company! 🐶💙 I do work full-time during the week, but I always run home on lunch ( 1 hour long) to let dogs out, eat, and run around. I have a large fenced in back yard to keep your fur babies happy while they are with me. When I am not home, I do keep them in the crate. If I am house sitting/doing drop in visits, I run out on lunch to guarantee they get let out 3 times a day.

Kayla is nothing short of an angel. We booked very last minute but she was very accomodating. She was very nurturing with our three pets and gave each one special attention. She kept us updated multiple times each day with pics, videos and text. If you are looking for someone to love your babies as much as you do then Kayla is a must.
