About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life! I’m comfortable with all shapes and sizes (cats, dogs, reptiles). I worked as a vet assistant for 6 years. I am also comfortable with reptiles! I am a SAHM. Both of my children are in school now; so I am pretty flexible. I have reliable transportation and can fit my schedule to meet the needs of clients. My goal is to create the most comfortable and worry-free experience for you and your pet. As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for them as I would.

“Ionna was great at communicating with me before booking and the morning of. She even took my pup on a ride, which she loves! Harley seemed very happy when I picked her up. Recently moved to the area so it is great to find a sitter that we can trust.”

About: Hi there! I am a lifelong animal lover with over 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and personalities. My background includes working in both veterinary and pet insurance settings, so I’m very comfortable handling pets with all types of medical needs and administering medications safely and correctly (oral, topical, injectable, and more). I am also comfortable with other critters as needed on a case by case basis. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science with a concentration in Equine Science and Companion Animals, and I’ve dedicated my time outside of my 9-5 to helping pets live happy, healthy lives. I currently have two dogs and a cat, a turtle, a tortoise, and 5 fish tanks. This is an animal loving home without a doubt. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your furry family member behind when you travel or need extra help. My goal is to make things easier by providing reliable, compassionate care you can trust, so you can rest easy knowing your pet is in great hands. I work from home full-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for pets throughout the day. For boarding, that means I’m able to give them as much or as little attention as they want. Whether they’re social snugglers or prefer their own space. I keep a calm, comfortable environment and make sure their needs are always met. While we do have other animals in the home, I am able to provide a private place for your pet if needed, and typically do dedicate one private space for any cat boarders. Because I have a flexible schedule, I can also easily fit in drop-in visits before or after work, ensuring pets get reliable care and consistent routines. Pet care naturally fits into my day because it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. All animals must be dog and cat friendly. If you're boarding a cat, they will NOT have access to our cat since they're a bit more difficult to socialize. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a calm, comfortable environment where the animal can feel safe and relaxed. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible regarding feeding times, litter maintenance, playtime, and quiet time! I also make sure they get the right balance of attention and independence based on their personality. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space and routines with the same respect and care I would my own. I pay close attention to any specific instructions for feeding, medications, or enrichment, and always take time to make pets feel loved and secure while their people are away. Communication is key for me, so I provide updates and photos to give you peace of mind every step of the way.

“Jessica took great care of my boy Boots, and kept me updated everyday along with pictures. They have a huge fence yard where the dog can run and play, it is the perfect atmosphere. She will definitely be Boot's caretaker next time I go out of town”

About: I’ve spent over 20 years surrounded by paws, whiskers, and wagging tails, and I wouldn’t have it any other way! I’ve cared for pets at every stage of life. From newborns, playful puppies, curious kittens, confident adults, and sweet seniors who just want extra snuggles. At home, I have a full furry crew: two huskies, two cats, and eight dachshunds. Managing different personalities, energy levels, and routines is second nature to me and there’s never a dull moment, and I love it. One thing that sets me apart is my experience with whelping and newborn puppies. I’ve helped deliver two dachshund litters and raised those tiny beans from birth until they headed off to their forever families. It taught me patience, attention to detail, and how to spot what a pet needs before they can tell you themselves. Whether your pet loves long walks, gentle cuddles, or just a buddy to hang out with, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and completely at home. I work a full-time job, but I have plenty of flexibility to schedule visits around your pet’s routine. I’m able to do morning, evening, and weekend care, and I always make sure pets get the attention, playtime, and clean-up they need. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. It’s something I genuinely enjoy, so I’m happy to build my schedule around keeping your pets happy and comfortable. I provide all pet care in your home, where your pets feel safe, comfortable, and in their normal routine. My priority is creating a calm, secure environment so they can relax while you’re away. I always follow your instructions closely — feeding schedules, litter box routines, medication needs, preferred toys, and any house rules you have in place. I take time to learn each pet’s personality and comfort level so I can approach them gently and respectfully. During visits, I make sure your home stays safe and tidy. I double-check doors, crates, and gates; ensure food and water are fresh; and keep the space clean, especially around litter boxes and feeding areas. I also provide updates and photos so you know your pets are happy and well cared for. Your pet’s safety, your home’s security, and your peace of mind are always my top priorities.

“Good updates throughout the day. Good communication.”

About: I worked for 4 years as a med tech and have experience caring for many different types of pets. I have a lot of experience giving medicine and fluids if your dog needs any special care. I currently have 5 very well behaved pups that love to play with everyone. I also have experience with other types of animals including reptiles and amphibians. I have always loved caring for animals and enjoy giving them as much attention as I can. I live in a more rural area with a big yard that is fenced. I go running with my youngest dog everyday and love going out and exercising with the pups. All my animals are treated like my children and I give them everything they want. Thanks for considering me, I'm sure I will make your pets feel like one of my own! I work part time helping out with a dog daycare a few days a week and the rest of my time is spent at home with the pups! I have 2 fenced areas to be able to separate any dogs that may need to be and multiple indoor areas for them. If they are used to being crated at night/when you’re out just let me know. I have large crates for them if they do or plenty of beds and if they don’t!

About: I’ve taken care of all breeds small and large since I was a child. At 40 now we have had senior Great Danes and litters of Dachshunds in home. I assisted with Rescue in Texas and admin one of the largest lost pets sites in Texas. I also have experience with reptiles and can sit for just about any animal. We have and iguana in home. Inquiry on sitting to set up exotic care as well. I work full-time from home and can take lunch/breaks as needing for walking and running to your home for breaks. There is another full time adult in home as well. We have 4 cats, 1 dog and 1 reptile so animal care is constant in my home. All animals are fixed and up to date on shots. We have a fenced in yard and we still go out with our large hound. One of our cats is indoor/outdoor. All of our pets are fixed and have rabies vaccination up to date.

About: I have a great deal of experience when it comes to dogs I have taken care of them my whole life. I have two adult dogs in my home who are very friendly and loves other dogs. I have experience working with spade/un spayed neutered/unneutered and potty train/un potty train. I am currently working from home part-time so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets and tend to as many needs as they have! I am open for boarding Monday through Friday and sometimes on weekends. I have a fenced in yard with two friendly dogs who will keep your fur baby company. I am more than able to crate them if needed or they can roam around freely. Even if your fur baby doesn’t love the extra company they are still welcome.

“I really appreciate Chelsea taking such good care of my dog! She kept me updated with what was going o. Throughout the day. I can tell that Sadi really loved being there with Chelsea’s family .”

“Emily took care of our dog, Hazel Grace, at her home, and we couldn’t be more pleased! She was attentive and caring, making Hazel feel comfortable from the start. What really set Emily apart was her thoughtful communication—she sent regular pictures and updates throughout Hazel’s stay, which gave us great peace of mind. Hazel looked happy and relaxed in every photo, and it was clear she was in a safe and loving environment. We highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a dedicated and caring dog sitter!”

“Sarah was a great day sitter for our two pups. She was responsive, friendly/enthusiastic, and flexible with drop-off and pick-up. I got the feeling that she was a chill dog lover who just went with the flow of whatever the dogs wanted to do, whether it was to play or take a nap.”

About: Since I was in diapers I’ve helped hatch birds to owning a pet mouse and a small herd of wild rabbits. Growing up I adored all dog breeds as well.. I’m a sucker for big breeds! Started volunteering as a teenager and ended up as a Vet Tech in 2024. Currently working at another local animal clinic in Florence, Sc (2026). I also work with equine’s once a week. That being said.. I’ll take care of any pet from reptiles to cats or even a raccoon if you got one! Haha (I’m serious). On the days that show up as available on my appointment calendar, are the days I am home 24/7 and am able to hangout and give your pet the attention he or she needs. I come from a strict ethnic mother so shoes in the house is definitely not a talk in the matter haha, All jokes aside I have a security system in my home, including inside living room, spacious backyard and a hangout house I got built in for my pets that they like to hangout in with a whole bed and cat scratching posts connected to the wall.. it also has a doggy door so they can come and go as pleased.

About: I have taken care of animals most of my life and have owned a hamster, fish, dogs, cats, ferrets, rabbits, duck, and chickens. I have fostered many kittens (including bottle babies), and puppies, as well as transported them from shelters to rescues. We have our own little farm with chickens, ducks, cats, dogs, and goats. None are aggressive, however, all need a proper introduction. Feel free to message me about availability. Im available most days to help, unless we are on vacation or my children are in a camp. If your decide to board your animals in our home, they will become part of our family. We have 3 dogs who are used to fosters in and out of our home. We do require all dogs be up to date on parvo and rabies vaccinations for boarding. If you need to board an animal other than a dog, please feel free to message me and we can come up with a plan.

“This was my first time using a sitter. My baby had separation anxiety and is afraid of everything, but I know she's in good hands with Ashleigh. She was patient and careful introducing my 10 pound chihuahua to her great dane. My little baby gets so excited when I drop her off. They go to the park all the time. Thank you Ashleigh!”
