About: My whole life I’ve been surrounded by animals! I even had the chance to help my dad train police dogs! I worked at a doggy daycare and have nothing but absolute love for every animal, big or small. I only work 2-3 days of the week and will be going to a community college for the next 3 years, so I have some free time and I’m pretty flexible. Also I get to use this as an excuse to meet new animals!! I’m familiar with crate training, as I’ve used it on my own animals and I’m always alert and know what to look for in a animal that might be showing signs of distress or anxiety.

“Arianna took excellent care of our home and our cat, Bella, while we were away in Vegas. Bella has IBS and requires daily medication, which Arianna handled confidently and with care—even though Bella can be a little stubborn! She kept us updated with regular check-ins and photos, which gave us peace of mind and let us fully enjoy our trip. We came home to a clean house and a happy, relaxed kitty. Arianna clearly has a natural connection with animals and was respectful, communicative, and reliable from start to finish. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”


About: I’ve spent my whole life around animals and truly love caring for them like they’re my own. I currently have both a dog and a cat, so I fully understand the different needs, personalities, and routines that each pet requires. I’ve also cared for other small pets, and I’ve volunteered at local shelters, where I gained hands-on experience with animals of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’m skilled in feeding schedules, litter box and potty training, giving oral or topical medications, leash walking, basic commands, and helping anxious pets feel safe and secure. I’m especially patient with shy cats and high-energy pups, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine exactly as you prefer. I also offer house sitting, so your pets can stay in their familiar environment while you’re away. Whether your cat loves quiet companionship or your dog needs lots of playtime, I’m here to provide reliable, loving care — and plenty of updates and photos so you feel at ease too. Your pets’ happiness and comfort are always my top priority. I have open availability, which means I can easily work around your schedule — whether you need early morning visits, evening walks, or extended house sitting. I’m happy to be flexible to meet your pet’s needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always prioritize keeping things clean, respectful, and as close to the pet’s normal routine as possible. I make sure to follow all instructions carefully, from feeding times and walking schedules to litter box cleaning or medication needs. I give pets lots of attention, love, and playtime — while also respecting their boundaries and any house rules. I’m mindful of the space I’m in — I clean up after myself and the pets, avoid restricted areas, and make sure everything is left just as I found it. Whether it’s watering plants, bringing in the mail, or sending regular photo updates, I’m happy to help however I can to give peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make sure both your pets and your home are well cared for.

“Devin was great checking in on my cats while I was out of town for a long weekend. My newer cat is still very skittish and didn't make much of an appearance during his check-in visits, but my older cat took to him right away, which is saying something since she usually takes a bit of time to warm up. Will definitely consider booking them again in the future!”


About: I’ve cared for family, friends, and neighbors pets most of my life as well as my own! That, on top of an entire summer’s worth of volunteer time at the animal shelter, has prepared me for anything and provided me with the education I need to care for you babies! I currently work a part time job working 4pm-11pm on weekdays and 11am-5pm on Saturdays with my Sundays off! Providing me with the time to care for your pets most of the day! I can care for your pets like they’re my own while in the comfort of their own homes! Whatever is needed of me, I can provide.

About: We got into pet care together because helping animals has always been a shared passion; it’s something that brought us closer and now it’s something we get to do side by side while helping our community 🥹 We currently foster for the Kanawha Charleston Shelter and another local rescue, help with TNR in our area, rehome strays, and love to spoil our own little crew of rescues! Over the years, we’ve cared for dogs, cats, pigs, chickens, reptiles, rabbits, rats, and even birds! We’re especially comfortable with pets who need a little extra patience, like shy rescues, semi-ferals, and senior animals! 🐕🦺 We have hands-on experience with: • Medications (oral, topical, injectable like insulin) • Anxious or reactive behavior • Special diets and tricky routines • Post-op and long-term medical needs • Livestock Friends! We're also active in the rescue world currently supporting fundraising, marketing, and networking for Krazie Ladies Animal Rescue, and jumping in when people in our community need help with lost pets or urgent rehoming! This isn’t just a side gig for us... it’s something we truly love doing together and would be happy to help you and your pets have a stress-free time! We both work from home, so our days naturally revolve around the animals we care for; ours and yours! That means we’re super flexible with visits throughout the day, whether it’s a quick morning potty break, midday meds, or evening playtime. Caring for animals is already part of our daily life. We foster and volunteer locally, so working around feeding schedules, quirky behaviors, and special routines is second nature. You can count on us to show up on time and treat your pets like they’re part of the family! Weekend availability included... just reach out and let’s chat about what you need! 📅 We kindly ask for 3 days' notice for all bookings and cancellations so we can plan our calendar and make sure we’re giving every pet the time and care they deserve 💛 When we’re in your home, we treat it with the same care and respect we’d want for our own! We always follow your instructions to the T; whether that’s feed times, locked doors or quirky pet routine... We will always keep your space clean, calm, and secure before we leave! We’re happy to work with homes that use security systems or indoor cameras, and we’ll always communicate clearly about access (keys, codes, etc.) so everyone feels comfortable! After each visit, you’ll get a photo or two and a quick update so you’re never left wondering how things went!! If your pets have any medical needs, special diets, triggers, or unique behaviors, we’ll ask about those ahead of time so we can handle everything confidently! We’ve worked with nervous pets, escape artists, and even semi-ferals... so nothing surprises us! We know how much trust it takes to let someone into your home and into your pet’s routine, and we don’t take that lightly! ❤️

About: I grew up with a lab from the time I was one until I was 12 and moved to my dad's; I always had an active role in our happy dogs life. I own two cat's now, but help my mom care for foster dogs she takes in. She is currently fostering a 2 year old Chihuahua who we take turns driving to Davis Medical Center to under go therapy and receive lots of love! I recently relocated to Charleston and am currently looking for full time work, which may limit my schedule in the future. I am currently available full time for pet care appointments. I require in person meet and greets, at central or home sites prior to the first service. This ensures that the animal has gotten my scent and associated that with their pet parent providing cues that I am a safe person to be around. Additionally, I recommend that dogs be crated in the home if alone prior to service, but this is not required. For cats, I request a list of hiding places so I can do a daily head count even if the cat is very skiddish.

“There’s a reason we only turn to Shenna when we go out of town: she’s the best. She cares. She’s kind and patient. She gives great updates and a personal touch to her visits with our cats who have medical needs, including the need for insulin injections. If you need a great pet sitter, look no further!”


About: I had a dog that had a liver shunt and I kept him going with medication and good loving care. He lived to be 10 years old which my vet normally they don’t live past 5 years old. I am a retired banker and it’s always been my dream to be a pet sitter. I have some back issues so I would only be able to take care of small pets up to 20 pounds. Also I would prefer that the owner of the animal have a fenced in yard as I am not able to walk long distances. I prefer to keep your pet in the owners home where the animal feels more secure and safe. I am free to stay with your pet as long as needed.


About: I grew up with dogs since the late 70s. I was taught how to care for, and train dogs as large as Great Danes and St Bernards. I love dogs of all sizes and I can give your dog the exercise he or she needs. I understand how busy life can be juggling work, home, pets, the holidays, and a social life, so I can definitely give your dog a little extra attention. More than one dog? No problem! I'll also make sure he gets water during our walks and some play time if that's what you would like. Just let me know if he/she prefers to run, needs to drop a pound or two, or just take it slow. Tuesdays and Sundays are best. I am available to walk your dog, give them food/water, and playtime. I am happy come to your home to make sure you pet get their needs met. At the moment, I am only providing dog walking services, as well as making sure your fur baby gets love and exercise when they need.
