“Connor was great with Ellie and Tripp, he was always on time, polite, and easy to communicate with. He took them on happy lunch walks and both dogs clearly enjoyed their time with him. We appreciated the updates and photos he sent. I’ll definitely book him again.”

About: I've had dogs in my life since I was a a child. I cared for my own dog when I turned 19. I had kida since she was a puppy and introduced her to pepper, my next dog, who is a rescue, 8 years later. Kida has now passed so its just me, pepper and her friend/ my roommates dog who I help care for when needed. I take them on walks frequently and pick up after them. I looked after and aided kida in potty training and basic training commands all they way to in her elder years. Always avaliable when you need me, even last minute and will always put all me effort in caring for your pet as if they were my own I am happy to accommodate for you pet any way I can, with adequate walks and feeding times when necessary, can provide basic medical treatment as need with either mixing it in food or oral syringe. Unfortunately my house is off limits to additional pets due to overcrowding. Happy to provide enrichment to you pet with plenty of walks and play time. Love tug of war and fetch, I can easily play for an hour straight with them, can be patient with more timid breeds and always try to make them as comfortable as possible. Will respect any and all boundaries set by the pet parent
“Kelsey was excellent!!! She sent me pictures of my dog and took him on a 30 minute walk at night while I was at work. She was reliable and will definitely be used again!!”

About: Hi, I'm Kristin. I'm a corporate burnout empty nester new to the Charleston area. For the past several years I took care of dogs in my home and eventually opened "Casa Chihuahua," an in home boarding experience dedicated to the needs of old and special needs dogs. I have a special fondness for small, old and wonky dogs and currently travel with two rescue chihuas of my own. I have experience with geriatric and special needs dogs and I am committed to finding a routine that works for each dog’s unique needs. Larger dogs or those who require a lot of exercise might be a better fit with a more active provider. What I can’t provide in long hikes and fetch sessions I make up for with stroller rides, short beach walks, drive thru treats and snuggles under an electric blanket. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. My daily routine already incorporates meals, walks, car rides and and cuddles for my crew so I am used to daily care. My two chihuahuas come with me where I go - I'm essentially looking for dogs who might like to ride along with us. I have access to a fenced yard, a stroller, a sling, a dog-friendly car, pee pads, playpens, gates etc. Having cared for special needs dogs of my own (including one blind, one lame and one brain damaged) I am unfazed by accidents. My two chihuahuas are friendly and accustomed to meeting new dogs but we can adapt to boundaries and comfort levels as appropriate.
About: I have been looking after other’s pets since I began watching my neighbors’ dogs at eight years old. I take seriously the responsibility of watching another’s furry best friend, and find joy in meeting and caring for animals of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. I work a 9 to 5 job with regular hours and am happy to help your pup with an early morning, mid day, or evening walk! I approach all pets with respect and follow the cues they give me about how much love and attention they want to give and receive. I try to make them as comfortable as possible while they are missing their human, and create a space where they can relax and have fun while they wait.
“Madelyn was great! She took great care of Bodi and sent me Rover cards with pictures everyday. She was very quick to respond to my texts and I felt at ease knowing my dog was in good hands.”
About: I am incredibly incredibly picky when it comes to the care of my own pets so you can rest assured I will take care of yours like my own! I work from home and am incredibly flexible! If your pups or cats need a visit I can make it happen-just let me know! :) I’ll come to your house and walk/spend time with your pet-whatever is requested during the time of booking. Reach out and we can work it out!
About: I have always loved animals growing up including cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, fish, etc. I also have been a pet sitter since the age of 12. I am very active, love being outside and also love animals. You can count on me to be responsible, respectful and reliable. I can’t wait to meet your fur babies! I have a very flexible work schedule and get off early in the afternoons. I am able to attend to animals anytime in afternoon and evenings! I live in a townhouse in park circle with a fenced in yard. I also live close to a large park and great places to walk. I am also open to coming to you! Whichever you prefer!
About: Life long dog lover who looks forward to befriending your furry loved one. We live in a townhome with a 1 year old golden retriever, Cheddar, and a fenced in backyard. I work a full time job 100% remote from my home so I have the flexibility to tailor my days to whatever your dog needs. I like for my dog to feel like this is her home too. She has her own spaces throughout the house and knows which areas are hers.
“Nadaia is superb. I had a last-minute medical need for a dog walker & she, thankfully, squeezed me in. She is effervescent & professional, affable & the one in control, kind & goes above & beyond. By day 3, Remy stood at the door waiting for *his* Nadaia! Remy adores her, as do I. I will be using her again You should contact her too. I promise—Nadaia does not disappoint!”

“Mary was friendly, professional, and always on time. She was great with our dog and made us feel comfortable knowing our pet was in good hands. We had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog walker!”
