“Rebecca was great with my two cats while we were away. One of them is diabetic and needs insulin. She was great and gave him his shot, fed them, and spent time with them. I can tell they were taken care of while we were away, and I really appreciate knowing someone was watching over them. I will definitely want to book with her again in the future.”
About: I've cared for animals since I was very young, around 8 years old. I have worked with large and small dogs, providing all service needs such as bathing, playing, feeding, and medicinal needs. I am away from work for the summer, so I will have plenty of time and energy to give to your lovely pets! I can attend to them any time between 5am and 10 pm. I will take all aspects of your home into account when caring for your pet(s). This includes comfortable spots such as warm lighting, cool spots in front of/on air units, toy locations, and any areas to avoid (for large dogs I would be looking for things such as sharp corners on countertops and small objects that can potentially be swallowed and for smaller dogs I would look for potential ledges or obstacles in their way or small objects within reach).
About: I’ve been taking care of animals my whole life. Always been a different kind of love. I still have my childhood cat and got my dog 5 years ago. They are my everything. I work part time right now. I have much availability in schedule! We can always chat about what time and days work best for you! Me and my dog have a Dailey routine everyday. We live in order around here! I would do the same for in you’re home! You and your animals needs will be met.
“Stevie is the most fantastic, and caring person! She goes above and beyond, taking care of my my dog. I will recommend her to anyone! I had a family emergency and had to fly out to California to take care of my elderly father, and the care that she is giving my sweet little girl, is more than I could have ever imagined! She is treating my dog with the utmost care, and love. I could not have ever found anyone else to be there for dog like Stevie has. 5 stars is not enough. She deserves a million stars!”
About: I grew up with large breed dogs quickly earning myself the nickname ‘Mikey’ after my willingness to do anything for any pet, and I’ve been training dogs of all ages and breeds ever since I was fourteen! I’ve been training dogs professionally for over three years, but I’ve done training for neighbors, family, and friends for years before that. I am a teacher in Darlington during the weekdays, and leave around 7 AM. Typically, I am not back in Florence until 4 PM, but my afternoons and weekends are always open for you and your pups! When sitting, I’ll ask for a brief timeline of your day to day with your pet so that their schedule isn’t interrupted more than it needs to be.
About: Growing up we always fostered all kinds of dogs! I have plenty of experience in grooming shops and doggie daycares! Currently working at a grooming shop, I would love to be considered your pups new best friend!! I’m currently working at a grooming shop which gives me plenty of time to hangout with your babies!!

“Mikayla L. did a good job with my 5 "babies". I got updates on my "babies" every time she was there. Oreo and Nicodemus came to her for tummy and back rubs. I appreciated her hard work. I would like to use her services again. Sincerely. Leslie M.”
About: Before I came to CofC, I was a dog sitter but also a manager at a doggy daycare. I have taken care of small, big, old, young, and disabled dogs.

I will care for your fur babies as my own. If you have any special instructions please let me know and leave a detailed note explaining these requirements!
“I highly recommend Olivia! She is reliable, responsible, and truly kind. She followed all the instructions, kept me updated, and took great care of both my cat and my home. Everything was clean and tidy when I returned. Most importantly, my cat loves her! She clearly cares about animals and takes the time to build trust with them. Knowing my cat was happy and well cared for made all the difference. I feel lucky to have found such a dependable and caring cat sitter. I will definitely book her again in the future!”
