Dog Sitting in Columbia

“Michelle is one of the best sitters I have ever had for my dog. I highly recommend her to anyone. She is always on time and very responsive; and does a wonderful job looking after my dog. She goes above and beyond each and every visit taking care of my dog, Tyson. My highest recommendations.”

About: I've had a dog, multiple cats, 2 gerbil, and multiple fish growing up. I have also helped out friends with multiple pets throughout the years and want to continue to help those who work feel better their furry pets are having a caring friend look after them. I currently am available 8 AM to 4 PM Monday through Friday to check in and walk your pets. I loom forward to meeting you and your pets and help in any way I can! I feel getting to know each pet individually is important to be able to best take care of each dog or cat. I want to be able to best serve each pet to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you are away.

About: Been pet sitting since I was around 13. Always grew up having dogs around. Now I have 2 dogs and 3 cats. Just a Healthcare worker trying to take care of your pets when im not working with my patients. I work overnight 3 nights a week. Looking to help out during the day and my nights off. I get my schedule a few weeks out in advance. I am willing to do whatever is needed in your home to help make your fur baby comfortable around me. I am very patient and accommodating.

“Sydney is AMAZING! She's taken excellent care of our pups whether a long weekend or stopping in during the day. She is always on time and responds right away, which I appreciate.”

About: I’ve had dogs literally my entire life, and lots of other pets! I grew up with labs and Rottweilers as the family dogs and now have a blue heeler of my own. My dog is my kid! I have the flexibility with my schedule to help you with yours while you’re out, too! I work full time, but it’s flexible, so I’m happy to help you! I’m typically gone from 9am-1pm, but that can vary, too. We can set up a schedule, or contact me for a one time walk. I’m happy to come to your home to let them out in the yard, or take them for a walk around the block. Just let me know what your pet needs!

About: I have owned pets my whole life, dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, frogs, fish, ferrets and now a flock of chickens. Each pet is an incredible responsibility that can bring great joy. Family and friends know they can count on me to help with any pet needs. Be it overnight stays, dog walks, food and water checks and even just a quick stop to snuggle. I am a stepmom, dog mom and substitute teacher, I have a flexible schedule out of school hours and am able to work around kids schedules to make almost anything work. Over the summer I am more free and able to help more. I walk my own dog multiple times a day, as well as spend time playing and snuggling. I have a routine with my flock of chickens for feeding time and creating ways to keep them occupied. My dog is on a scheduled food routine and receives treats throughout the day. My son has a bunny, to which he has a daily routine of playtime and cleaning. I am a person who is great with direction and routine, working to make sure an animal has adequate time for play, food and rest.

“Mikayla always takes the best care of Darin. She always follows instructions, and we come home to happy pup. Additionally, even though she’s doing drop ins, she treats our home with respect. Would absolutely book her again!”

About: It is very important for any pet to engage in daily activities and to be loved, specifically when they are away from their family. Patience and love is the key to make them feel at home. My family is involved in helping pets feel at home and in taking care of their needs. Depending on the age and the specific care needed, every pet will be in good hands in my house. I usually work with repeated customers that know that their pets are now part of my family. They are testimony of the excellent care and great communication that are part of my services. I will work my daily routine and schedule to be able to care for them. My husband helps when I’m not at home and my daughters love to take dogs on walks I have a fenced yard that is safe for daily activities. There is an open park a block from the house where we go for more open space

About: What sets me apart is the amount of time, attention, and care I give every pet. Since I’m off all summer, I have a very flexible schedule and can provide reliable care, long walks, and lots of companionship. I genuinely love being active and spending time outdoors, so your dog will get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention! I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have lots of experience caring for dogs. I had a golden retriever for 8 years growing up, and my family currently has a 7-year-old golden retriever! Since I’m off for the summer from teaching, my schedule is very open and flexible. I’m available most weekdays for morning, afternoon, and evening walks, drop-in visits, or dog sitting. I’m able to adjust my schedule easily to fit your pet’s routine and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine to help pets feel safe and comfortable. I provide walks, playtime, meals, fresh water, and lots of attention while keeping the home clean and respected. I also prioritize safety and communication by giving regular updates and photos.

About: Hi! I’m Maggie, a lifelong animal lover and dog mom to two sweet pups. I’ve been caring for pets for over 15 years, starting back in high school when I became the neighborhood go-to sitter. Since then, I’ve looked after dogs of all sizes and personalities, plus a handful of cats and other small pets along the way. I treat my own dogs the way most people treat their kids; with patience, structure, fun, and tons of love. And I bring that exact same energy to every pet I care for. Your pet’s comfort and routine come first, and I always take time to learn what makes them feel safe, happy, and understood. As someone who often looks for sitters for my own dogs, I truly understand how important it is to find the right person; someone you trust, someone who communicates, and someone who treats your pets like family. My boyfriend and I take that responsibility seriously. While I’m the one offering pet-sitting services, he’s at home with our own doggos, making sure they’re happy, safe, and sticking to their routine. Because we know firsthand what good care looks like, we make it a priority to provide that same level of comfort, attention, and reliability to every pet we look after. Your pets deserve someone who “gets it,” and that’s exactly the kind of care we strive to provide. I currently work as a case manager, which means my weekly schedule is flexible and varies day-to-day. I have appointments at different times throughout the week, but I’m able to come and go as needed. With a little notice, I can schedule my work appointments around your availability and your pet’s routine. I’m used to balancing a dynamic schedule, so making sure your pet gets the consistent care, walks, and attention they need is always a priority. As a dog mom to two high-energy, love-filled pups, I know how important structure, attention, and affection are. At home, our days include frequent walks, plenty of yard time to burn off energy, and a consistent meal and treat routine. We use clear, consistent verbiage for commands and always reward good behavior; lots of praise, treats, and even more snuggles. I love keeping dogs mentally and physically stimulated, so car rides, errands, and controlled socialization are a regular part of our routine. I bring that same approach to caring for pets in a client’s home. I follow your instructions closely, keep your pet’s routine intact, and make sure they feel safe, understood, and loved while you’re away. Whether they need exercise, structure, gentle reassurance, or just someone to hang out with, I meet each pet where they are and give them the same level of care I give my own.

“Ashley was FANTASTIC! She was extremely flexible and understanding when my plans were a little chaotic and changed on the fly. Both of my kiddos were taken excellent care of! I will absolutely be calling on Ashley again and again.”

About: I have had 2 dogs since I was 13 I always feed them and take care of them and even bathed them! I am very patient with all animals and their specific needs at all times. I am free most days and times! Please let me know when works best for you and we can figure something out for sure! Thank you so much! I will do whatever should be done to keep your pets healthy, hydrated and happy! I can bathe your dogs and cats “ if they like water “ and I am extremely devoted to keep your pet happy as can be!

About: I treat every dog like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I have experience with dogs of all ages—from playful puppies who need patience and training reinforcement, to senior dogs who may need a gentler pace, extra attention, or special care. I pay close attention to each pet’s unique routine, energy level, and personality so that walks and visits are both fun and comfortable. I currently work full-time in animal care, so caring for pets is part of my daily life both professionally and personally. Because I’m around animals every day, I’m experienced in keeping a consistent routine, paying close attention to health and behavior, and making sure each pet feels safe and loved. When I’m in a client’s home, I always respect their space and follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure pets get fed on schedule, plenty of fresh water, regular potty breaks, and exercise that matches their energy level. I spend quality time with them—whether that’s playing, walking, cuddling, or just keeping them company if they’re more on the shy side. I also keep things tidy by cleaning up after meals, walks, or litter boxes, so you come home to a clean space.

“Awesome job”

About: I’ve cared for cats my entire life and have experience with a wide range of personalities, from social and affectionate to shy or recently rescued. I’ve provided pet sitting for family and friends, including both cats and dogs. I also have hands on experience helping stray and rescue cats adjust to indoor environments. In addition, I’m comfortable handling small animals and have experience owning and caring for ferrets. I prioritize patience, consistency, and understanding each pet’s individual needs to make sure they feel safe and comfortable while in my care. I currently just graduated high school at York County School of Technology while enrolled in the Licensed Cosmetology program! I obtained my cosmetology license in December of 2025. I’m currently waiting to begin my journey in the esthetics side of the cosmetology industry! I have a very flexible schedule on the weekends, as well as mid afternoon and nights. I personally prioritize creating a safe, calm, and stress free environment for every pet in my care. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, behavior, and any specific needs so I can keep their environment consistent and comfortable. I’m attentive to details such as securing doors, safe feeding practices, and monitoring behavior for any signs of stress or illness. I’m also respectful of client homes and follow all instructions carefully to ensure both pets and property are well cared for. For more anxious or shy animals, I focus on patience and gentleness to build trust at their pace. I’m happy to provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you feel confident and informed while you’re away.
