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. My other senior pup has discospondylosis so daily medications are something I am very very familiar with as well as being more careful and slower with pups. 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’m a software development student and bartender with management experience looking to fill some free time and make a little extra money. 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!
About: I have been caring for fur babies for half my life. I love getting to know every individual, their personalities and little quirks. Small, big, young or old I love them all. I have worked with clients assisting in puppy training, administering medication when needed or offering special care to our more senior pets. I have also owned and/or worked with birds, fish, small caged animals, poultry and horses. Our animals are at the heart of our homes. I am here to provide loving care to those hearts or yours. I currently work part time remotely from home and have a very flexible schedule. I am available morning, noon and night and can easily work with your timetable. I am not currently offering boarding or overnight care at this time. I am available for drop in visits and walks whenever needed. If transportation is needed to get to a place for exercise like a park or trail I can accommodate that as well.
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. One of our labs, Dooley has an occasional seizure from time to time so we have learned and adapted to give him the best life he could have. I am willing to pick up your pets waste and learn to take care of your horses too. I will be true to my word and will exceed your expectations! I currently work from 7 am to 1 pm Monday to Friday so I am available to care for your four legged friend from 2 pm to 7 pm! I will work with you directly on whatever service you are needing. Meeting one on one with you before I care for your pet to make sure you are satisfied and feel comfortable with me before offering any services!
About: I have always owned dogs & cats for over 40 years, I am also an animal communicator. I respect the animal as well as flow with their natural way of being.

About: Hi there! I’ve grown up my whole life taking care of & loving family dogs, cats, lizards and birds. I have my own 2 fur babies at home, and have extensive experience caring for and handling most animals. Ever since I was young, I’ve always had a deep passion for the unconditional love only they can give. Whatever they need, I assure you I can provide - whether they be elderly or one year old. I’ll be sure to give them ample snuggles, constant affection and more than enough walks/nature time! Right now I’m only working part-time (self-employed) so I will have so much quality time to spend with your baby! I’m home most days and nights. I will follow their schedule you’ve made for them, feeding them on time, letting them out to run/walking them, plenty of playtime and exploring, potty breaks as needed. I also update frequently with photos & videos of your pet, just so you have peace of mind and know they’re getting all the love and being well taken care of. 🥰
About: Hey there! I’m Katelyn. Thank you for considering me to take care of your furry companion(s). I may be new to Rover, but am certainly not new to caring for and working with pets. In fact, I began pet sitting as a young teen for neighbors. I have ample experience caring for and loving on: dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, birds, rodents, turtles and rabbits. This includes pups and kitties of all sizes, temperaments, ages and health statuses. I am Fear Free certified through my continued volunteer work with a local humane society. Fear Free is a nationwide initiative across the animal welfare community that offers online educational courses on handling fear, anxiety, and stress in dogs and cats through evidence based strategies. My time at the humane society consists of but not limited to: walking dogs, providing enrichment opportunities for the animals, assisting the staff with adoptions, and staying behind the scenes to tend to the back of the house tasks that keep the facility up and running. My approach is to treat each animal as an individual and get to know each other according to their unique personality and preferences. Positive reinforcement and enrichment opportunities are my jam! My experience ranges from dog walking to extended period pet sitting to fostering both dogs and cats to assisting behavior teams at animal shelters/rescues. I am also well versed in daily upkeep tasks required for barn animals. I’d be happy to elaborate upon request. I split my time between the Tryon, Greenville, and Fletcher areas. I work in healthcare full time, which limits my availability to early mornings, evenings, weekends. Potential holidays with sufficient advance notice. Outside of my 8-5, my schedule is rather flexible- leaving plenty of time to take care of your furry ones! For house sitting bookings, I am able to watch your pets in your home only at this time. I believe animals thrive on routine and keeping their days as normal as possible when their person/family are away. Whatever their typical day to day looks like is how I will care for them! Safety is something I take very seriously and is of utmost importance.
“Alexis was so helpful caring for my two cats! I requested her last minute and she was able come through! She gave thorough feedback and updates during her visits. Highly recommend!”
About: My name is Carlee and I’ve been pet/house sitting for about 6 years now. I have experience taking care of small and medium sized dogs, I’ve taken care of both senior dogs and puppies as well as cats! I’d love to grow my experience and am willing to learn just about anything! I currently work 30 hours a week at my regular job, but my schedule is never consistent. I have still been able to work around it and do stop ins regularly for my clients. Typically I work 6-8 hour shifts so I would not be able to stop in during that time. But I am always able to stop in immediately before my shift and directly after. Aside from that, I am able to stay either full time with your pet or do stop ins however often you would prefer. If you have questions feel free to ask! I am very easy going and understand the importance of a solid routine schedule for your furbabies. I am able to either stay at your house or do frequent drop ins to feed, play, and walk. I am experienced with senior dogs who need special accommodations and am willing to learn as I go!
“Francesca was wonderful and took good care of my two cats. She was punctual, communicated well, and was very polite. I would absolutely trust her to care for my cats again.”
About: I grew up with love for animals, but I also believe it comes with great responsibilities. Before we moved to SC, I did volunteer in the Humane Society in Virginia. My pets are easygoing and love new friends. I do have enough space to keep them separate if your dog isn’t friendly. I'm very free during the workdays, working from home, some weekends I can be partly tied up. We can talk about specific weekends because it will very. So just let me know:) Big fenced yard with garden. One pupp more on the shy side but loves other dogs chases and zoomies, kennel free, using talking buttons the small pupp she is the boss of the house but still know her size and then we have also friendly only indoor cats, also chickens in another fenced part.
About: Equine background & experience! I could farm-sit & tend to horses, clean stalls, etc., in addition to caring for cats, dogs, & any other domestic pets. I work from home & my schedule is pretty flexible! I would be available for daily check-ins/potty breaks & also available for overnight stays, if desired. I'd love the opportunity to care for your pet, just as you would, in the comfort of their own environment. Currently not accepting any visiting pets into my own home, as my own pet cat prefers having her own space.
