“Christine saved the day taking care of Tiffany over the holiday. She helped to put my mind at ease knowing that Tiffany was in great hands while I was out of town!”
“Bronwyn took such great care of our cat Thor! He's very timid around new people and tends to hide, but she still went above and beyond to get a photo of him each visit, and wrote the best visit summaries (that I read to my family every day and showed them the photo of the day)! We really missed him while on vacation but the daily updates helped. I couldn't ask for a better cat sitter.”
About: I’ve had a cat and a dog and have provided senior care to both. If I care for your fur baby they will be spoiled rotten!

We have two dog parks in the community where I live so your pup will get plenty of walks and playtime. I also have a cat catio for your feline fur baby.

About: https://www.rover.com/sit/kaitlr39001 I have about 4 years of experience with medically fragile dogs as my dog is a diabetic and takes insulin and requires a prescription diet with frequent potty breaks as well as one other dog who is on daily medications. I currently do part time work from home so I am almost always available to pet sit or board or in home pet sit or even walk your animals. I am a HUGE advocate for animal safety regardless of breed. I love all animals and would never put my dogs or any other animal in harms way.
About: I've owned dogs and cats for all of my life, and friends often rely on me to take care of their pets by feeding them, walking them, and playing with them! I’m a college student at Furman University, so my schedule varies. I will prioritize pet care as needed, whether that is to come check on your pets once or multiple times per day. I plan on caring for your pets exactly as the client requires, and of course I will play with your pets and give them lots of love as well as their necessary care!
About: I have four of my own dogs and spend majority of my home time making sure they are fed, happy, and loved. I have experience with administering medications orally and topically. I have worked with puppies by teaching special skills such as (sit, shake, and lay down) to working with adult dogs who have anxiety and require additional attention/care. I am an owner of two bigger dogs and two dachshunds (which has taught me a lot about the importance of joint and spinal care). I also have experience with resource guarding, breaking up the occasional tiff between dogs, and walking with dogs who pull a lot. I work a partial third shift, which gives me the ability for a morning and afternoon visit. If necessary, I can also visit at night before I head in to work. I have a fenced in yard, gates in my home to protect pets in my space, and crates in case of overnight stay or special needs.
About: I want to share the love that I have for pets so their owners don’t need to be concerned when they leave town or are away at work. I will treat your furry companion just like my own.

I can’t think of a better way than to spend time with your fur baby! My family has had dogs of all ages and sizes as far back as my memory goes. I am not a dog owner currently, seeing as my schedule does not allow for the full commitment of ownership each pup requires! I do have two cats and live in a two bedroom, so your pet will never be alone and will have space to roam about. Outside of work and school, I love camping, hiking, reading, and live music. I would love to take your pup in a neighborhood stroll, or have a companion for a short hike!

“Sarah, visited our two pups a couple times each day while we traveled for Thanksgiving and did awesome! She is prompt and consistent in her visits. Sarah took time before we left to fully understand the habits of Gunner and Willow and our wishes for how best to spend her time during visits. We will definitely use her services again.”

Kristine H.
“I highly recommend Kristine for your pet sitting needs. Kristine has been pet sitting for me for years. She takes care of my pets (2 dogs & 2 cats) while I am away on vacation or business trips. She is very reliable and makes sure my pets are well cared for and gives them lots of love. She also walks them and trims their nails upon request.”
Melanie P.
“It is a pleasure to recommend Melanie Pearson as a pet sitter. I have known Melanie for approximately 7 years. We met through our local Humane Society where she volunteered for a variety of tasks. As a fabulous photographer, she took photos of our adoptable animals to promote them on our weekly flyers and on our FB page. In addition to her work at the local Humane Society, Melanie has done extensive pet sitting for my cats when I have been away. She always spent time with them to reassure them that everything was fine. She played with them and gave me regular updates while I was traveling so I would know how my pets were doing. Melanie is a true animal lover. She has also worked in the very difficult business of rescuing dogs from the dog meat business. It was heartbreaking work because she could not adopt all of the dogs rescued. Melanie would be a valuable asset to your organization because she is kind, thorough, conscientious and well-organized.”
Kaitlyn R.

Wade W.
“Wade is a true animal lover! He is compassionate and willing to dedicate 110 % of his time to his pets or yours. He is responsible, gentle, and kind to all animals and patient with them until they understand what he wants them to do! He exercises them, plays with them, and gives them attention as if they were his own! He grew up with animals so knows how important dog sitters are to pet owners. If his labs could speak our language, I am sure they would convince you of all these attributes! Trusting another to take care of our pets is hard, but with Wade it is just like they are part of his family!”
