“Kristan was a wonderful pet sitter! She was very attentive to my cats during her drop in visits - she made sure they were taken care of and also played with them! She sent daily pictures and updates of how they were doing and communicated with me frequently as needed. My pets took to her immediately and she was great with them, even my shy cat loved her! Definitely would recommend her services and will be using her again for future pet sitting needs!”


“Allysa was great! She even managed to work around a surprise issue when one of our shy cats decided he wanted to come out and be with her (a first)! She was great with communication and gave our guys plenty of attention and care. I would highly recommend!!!!”


About: I have raised puppies and cared for dogs. I owned 2 Belgian malinois and a German shepherd. I currently own a skepsky. I am good with big dogs. My shepsky is a very nervous dog so if you are someone who is worried about having a dog walker due to their puppy being scared I’m your girl. I am doing this on my days off from school. It is something to give me a break from studying and I really love animals. I clean my litter box daily at my own home and I ensure clean water and food for both of my cats. I am a clean person overall.

“Jeremy is a very friendly guy, my husband liked him and when we came home our kitties seemed to be pretty happy. And I’m glad they were being taken care of while we were gone. He was pretty good at communication, there were a couple days where he only sent photos of two of the cats, and I don’t blame him for not being able to tell our torties apart, must people can’t 😂 Th only thing I would say is that I think his drop in services for multiple cats are a bit overpriced. We had to pay $30 for him to come in feed and water our cats and just hang out with them for a half hour. We didn’t ask him to do anything other than that, if it was me (knowing Rover takes 15-20%) I would have charged at MOST $20 to check in on someone’s cats regardless of how many there are. We were overall happy with Jeremy though and would work with him again if his rates were a little lower”


“Arianna was great, our fur babies loved her! She was great at communicating, sending photos and asking questions to make sure they had excellent care while we were away. We’ll definitely ask for her help again!”


“Paige is awesome! She took care of our cat, two guinea pigs and our fish while we were out of town. She was very responsive and we would trust her to take care of our pets again! Our pets are our babies so having her watch over them was such a relief! Thank you!”


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: 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.

I am also the owner of a pitbull mastiff mix who is turning 3 in August I have also done pet care for as long as I can remember. I have always had large dogs including now.

Gabrielle W.
“Gabi is one of the most kind-hearted, fun-spirited, animal lover that I have ever met. She goes above and beyond to care for her own animals that being her shepsky mix, Kai, and her two russian blue kitties, Anakin and Bellamyre. I have no doubt that she will care for your animal like one of her own. Her love for animals began when she was a kid, and it ranged from bears to the smallest little “potato bug” in the backyard. I would recommend her to anyone that is looking for someone to treat their pet just as well as they treat it!”

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!”
