Olivia has been a godsend. I have a large, elderly dog who is increasingly more trouble and requires overnight sitting. Olivia has gone above and beyond to make sure she is taken care of. My work travel schedule is unpredictable and she is always flexible and willing to help on short notice whenever she can.

Angelia was amazing with our fur babies! She was punctual, made sure to keep us constantly updated, and followed all instructions we provided. She provided peace of mind and we were able to enjoy and relax during our trip because of her. We came home to happy and healthy pups and I would definitely recommend her!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 9 years old and have experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I had a Labrador Retriever and Weimaraner mix who was absolutely precious. She passed away on April 3, 2026, which was very difficult, but caring for her taught me a lot about responsibility, patience, and the importance of providing dogs with love and attention. I currently have a Boxer, a Cocker Spaniel, and a Chihuahua, so I’m comfortable handling both large and small breeds. Through caring for my own dogs and helping family members and friends with theirs, I’ve gained experience with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic grooming, administering medications when needed, and making sure dogs feel safe and comfortable in their environment. I’m familiar with different energy levels and temperaments, from active, playful dogs who need plenty of exercise to older or more relaxed dogs who prefer a calmer routine. Family and friends know they can rely on me to provide dependable and attentive care for their pets. I always make sure every dog is happy, well-fed, exercised, and given plenty of love and attention while their owners are away. My goal is to treat every dog as if they were my own and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times. I currently work part time and attend college classes, so I understand the importance of being organized and responsible with my time. My classes are on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and I typically work Friday evenings. My work schedule is posted about a week and a half in advance, which allows me to communicate my availability clearly and plan ahead for pet care. Outside of those commitments, I have a flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home. I am committed to providing reliable care, regular updates, and plenty of attention to every pet. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic medications, or simply keeping a dog company, I make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away. I have a securely fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, explore, and get plenty of exercise. I also have three friendly dogs who are well socialized and enjoy meeting new canine friends. I always supervise introductions and interactions to make sure every dog feels comfortable and safe. For dogs that are crate trained or need their own space, I have both a small crate and a large crate available. I understand that every dog has different needs and routines, and I do my best to accommodate them. Whether your dog loves to play, relax, or stick to a specific schedule, I’ll make sure they receive the care, attention, and comfort they deserve while you’re away.

Brandi stayed at our home and loved on our two pups while we were away for a weekend. She sent us pictures of cuddling with them when it was thundering. We would book her again!

About: Must know: Professional belly-rubber Personalized, one-family-at-a-time care Daily updates because I know you miss them Located in Elgin, South Carolina Details: Your pup won’t be one of ten dogs competing for attention here. I only host one family at a time, allowing me to focus on your dog’s individual needs and routine. I welcome puppies, adults, seniors, and multi-dog households. Medication administration and special care instructions are welcome. You’ll receive daily updates, photos, and plenty of peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable home environment where your furry family members feel loved and cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and have extensive experience caring for dogs. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, medication administration if needed, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. In my home, dogs have access to a fully fenced yard and approximately one acre of land for supervised walks, exercise, and exploration. I strive to maintain each pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. In a client’s home, I follow the pet’s established schedule and instructions closely. I can provide feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, medication administration, basic cleanup of pet-related messes, mail collection, plant watering, and other light household tasks as agreed upon. My goal is to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both pets and their owners.

About: I have cared for dogs all ages. From puppies to elder. I even have a few furs myself. I love animals and will treat them with the upmost care I am off on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Sundays and Mondays. I work part time also flexible with animal care parents on those days off if need be. I have an outside kennel, a decent back yard area for little walks and play time. I have an extra inside cage that holds up to medium size animals. They are cleaned every use with kennelsol because animal safety is very important. I will ask what the of dog food you prefer for your pet this way they can stay on any diet they are on. I won’t need any animal bowls unless you wish to bring them for the animal. I will go and get them personal use bowls for their stay and future stays if willing to use services again.

Alexis was wonderful with our two labs, Huck & Finn. She watched them from 9:00 am -9:00 pm and sent me updates with a video and photos throughout the day. We felt at ease with her caring for our boys. She played with them and kept on schedule with their feeding. We will definitely have Alexis care for our guys again soon. I would recommend her for anyone if you’re looking for reliable care.

About: Hi! I’m someone who genuinely enjoys creating a calm, safe, and caring environment for both pets and homes while owners are away. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, communicative, and comfortable helping with everything from walks and playtime to feeding routines, medication reminders, litter box maintenance, mail collection, plant care, and overnight house-sitting. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets and home, so I always try to provide thoughtful updates, consistency, and attentive care. Outside of pet sitting, I have a background in creative/social media work and customer service, which has made me very organized and responsive. I’m currently looking to build long-term relationships with local clients and would love to help make travel or busy schedules less stressful for you, your home, and your pets! I grew up with cats (and have my own now) and learned and loved on dogs at my Grandma's house. I currently have a flexible schedule outside of my regular work hours and enjoy building pet sitting into my routine. I’m available for cat drop-ins, overnight house sitting, feeding visits, and general home check-ins depending on timing and location. I try to keep my availability updated and always communicate clearly about scheduling, visit timing, and updates while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your pets and your home. I always aim to create a calm, respectful, and safe environment while following your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I’m attentive to details, mindful of household instructions, and committed to keeping communication open through updates and photos so you can feel comfortable while away.

About: What sets me apart is the amount of patience, care, and attention I give to every pet. As a first grade teacher, I am very dependable, nurturing, and comfortable handling different personalities and needs. I have experience caring for both large and small dogs, including my own 80 pound dog and 10 pound dachshund. I am also comfortable with puppies who need consistency, playtime, and basic routine reinforcement, as well as senior pets who may need a slower pace, extra patience, medication reminders, or more frequent breaks. I treat every pet like they are part of my own family and make sure owners feel comfortable and updated while they are away. As a teacher, I have a consistent and flexible schedule. I’m up early each morning and available before school, and I’m typically finished with work by 3:00 p.m. My weekends are also very flexible. I’m happy to accommodate a variety of schedules and will do my best to meet you and your pet’s needs! My two dogs, Comet and Cooper, are truly part of my family, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I live with my fiancé and our two dogs, an 80 pound dog and a 10 pound dachshund, so I’m comfortable caring for pets of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. As a first grade teacher of 20 students, patience, attentiveness, and nurturing come naturally to me. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I will follow their normal routines as closely as possible, provide plenty of attention, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m also very respectful of clients’ homes and understand the trust it takes to welcome someone into your space to care for your fur baby.

About: My experience comes from owning my own pets (goats,chickens,ducks,dogs,cats,bunnies,guinea pigs,hamsters) and petsitting (yes, even even horses, pigs, snakes and bugs). In previous years, I fostered for countless animal rescue groups and shelters, whether it was just volunteering or fostering puppies or senior dogs in need. I currently own a pitbull/lab rescue, Cali, who I trust with few people. I completely understand the anxiety when it comes to trusting someone new to watch over your pup. This is why I prioritize communication, forming relationships with both pets and parents, sending frequent updates and paying close attention to details/routines provided to me. After each visit, you can always expect to find water bowls to be clean and full, leashes hung up and everything just as you left it except this time with a happy and tired pup! Please reach out with as many questions as you'd like, I look forward to hearing from you! I have a dog of my own, so pet care is already built into my routine and something I look forward to everyday. I'm also available for last minute needs and do my best to be as flexible as possible as I understand plans can change :) How I care for your pet depends entirely on the instructions you give me, I strive to follow your directions as closely as possible to ensure you, your pet and myself all have a great experience that is as similar as can be to your routine with them. With that being said, each pet I care for is treated as my own and will have my full attention when I am with them.

About: Hi! I'm Christina. I'm married and have a dog, two cats, and an African Grey Parrot. I work remotely, I love to travel, and I love animals, so I'm happy to find a way to combine all three! I work remotely for a bank as a Technical Writer. When I'm not doing that, I love to read and travel. A few years ago, I did a solo cruise to Alaska, and it was probably one of the best trips of my life. Whale watching was something on my bucket list, and I was really excited that the stars aligned for the opportunity to do that on my birthday. My parents have lived on a farm for about 16 years now, so I have a lot of experience with farm life and caring for chickens, guineas, goats, fish, and livestock guardian dogs. Along with my experience owning dogs, cats, and parrots. If you think we would be a good fit, please feel free to reach out, and I'm happy to chat more! I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible which allows me the ability to work around your needs for pet sitting/walking. I'm happy to talk further about specific needs. I would follow instructions of the pet owner - supervised backyard play, on-leash walks, etc. I always provide updates at each check-in and include photos.
