I highly recommend Margaret as a pet sitter! She is punctual, professional, genuinely cares for your fur babies, and does the best job possible. A tree fell down on the road leading up to my house and blocked the road. Margaret did not hesitate to park her car and walk to my house . She communicated with me daily to let me know who’s my dog. was doing. I will definately use Margaret again!!

I highly recommend Isabel to watch her best friends. This is the first time I have ever used a pet sitter who was not family and couldn’t be more pleased! Thank You Isabel again for taking great care of Groot.

About: HI my name is Kristine and I grew up with dogs my whole life … I now have my 2 babies who are my pride and joy! I have continued to train my babies to do many skills and tricks and am very good at it!! I have lots treats! I am a medic and have my own health and safety training company which includes teaching pet cpr and first aid … I come fully stocked and prepared for any emergency that may arise. I am a stickler with whatever schedule your baby needs to be on. I hope you let me help you in your time of need and let me love on your babies . They will get a lot of snuggles and loving when with me. I am a medic and have medical training and also teach CPR/AED/First Aid in which includes animals. I am self employed and have the ability to be home when I need to be so I can gladly walk your babies and spend time with them. Because of my work flexibility I am able to house sit and be present when I need to be. If I house sit I will be able to follow the schedule your babies are on so they won’t skip a beat. I will take lots of pictures and videos so you will know what your babies are up to.

About: I’ve owned and fostered both cats & dogs for 30 years. I also worked & volunteered for Pet Helpers Adoption Center (Charleston, SC) & at a veterinary clinic where I gained experience administering subcutaneous fluids. I also owned a diabetic dog who needed daily insulin injections. I’m comfortable with any size & breed of dog. Besides lots of experience with small animals I’ve volunteered for LEARN Horse Rescue (Charleston, SC) for 11+ years gaining knowledge on horse rehabilitation & care. I’ve never met an animal I didn’t like! I’m currently working a flexible part time schedule and am available most days for drop in visits including walks both during the week and on the weekends. I am happy either taking your dog for a walk or playing in your fenced in back yard depending on the situation. I know it’s important that your pet gets fed & let out on a regular schedule & receives enough attention so they aren’t sad while you’re away.

About: My pet care experience is a beautiful mess of every animal personality imaginable. I’ve worked with cats who think they invented the universe, dogs who sprint like their taxes are due, guinea pigs that squeak demands like tiny dictators, birds with main-character energy, and reptiles who stare into my soul like they know my secrets. If it has fur, feathers, or scales, chances are I’ve cared for it — and probably hyped it up like it’s a celebrity. I’ve given basic oral meds to stubborn pets without losing a finger, handled strict and detailed feeding routines for sick pups, and provided soft, gentle care for older pets who move at the speed of “nap.” I do walks, playtime, enrichment, cuddle sessions, energy burn-offs, and emotional support during dramatic episodes. Basically, if it eats, sleeps, wiggles, slithers, squeaks, chirps, or side eyes, I can take care of it. I’m available for anything your pet needs — from walks and feedings to playtime and overnights. I do work a full-time job, but I’m great at communicating and creating a schedule that fits your pet’s routine while still making sure they get all the attention they deserve. When I’m in your home, I treat your pet like the tiny boss of the house and treat your house like it’s under top-secret protection. I follow their routine, serve their meals like a 5-star butler, and make sure no toy goes unplayed with. Meanwhile, I’m also checking doors, lights, windows, and making sure your home is basically Fort Knox. Your pet gets love. Your home gets security. You get peace of mind and a lot of funny photo updates.

About: I have always had dogs in the family growing up. My first dog was a black lab mix. And my current dog is a German Shepard mix. I have about 15 years of personal experience and 1 year in a grooming and boarding shop. I do work full time and will have to schedule around my work schedule, it does vary from day to day. I do work full time (25-40hrs a week) so will have to schedule around that. Thank you. If you have questions please feel free to ask. :) I cannot bring them to my home because we have two dogs and our HOA does not allow fences. But I can come to your home, I have a car and willing to travel.

Leah was so awesome! She watched our pup Stanley for a half day while we were out & about. He had an absolute blast - he was very happy and tired when we got back. She also took lots of photos which was a plus. Highly recommend Leah!

About: My name is Charity and I am a reliable and responsible dog sitter and walker. I absolutely love all animals, ESPECIALLY dogs and I tend to get along with them very well. I have been dog sitting for close friends for about a year now and am ready to open up for more people.

Aaron went above and beyond for our kitty! She got sick just before we were scheduled to leave; he gave her medicine, and dealt with the unpleasant litter boxes that accompanied her illness. Thankfully that only lasted a few days. She is shy, and never let him get a good look at her, but he kept trying. Aaron is also an excellent communicator. He kept us apprised of her condition (as revealed by her litter boxes). We highly recommend Aaron and hope to have him as our sitter for the foreseeable future.

About: I've always loved taking care of animals and have been surrounded by pets for as long as I can remember. I truly enjoy making sure pets are happy, healthy, and well loved whether that means feeding, walking, or just spending quality time with them. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, and small animals, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I spend a lot of time at the dog park with my own dogs, especially my high energy pup who needs plenty of exercise and playtime. I understand how important it is for active dogs to burn off energy in a fun and safe environment, and I bring that same care and attention to every pet I look after. I'm a school photographer, which means I work seasonally and have a pretty flexible schedule for most of the year. This allows me to be available for pet sitting, especially during off-peak months. I’m reliable, love animals, and happy to help care for your pets when you need it! When pet sitting, I prioritize safety by carefully following any instructions you provide, keeping pets in secure environments, and making sure they’re never left unattended in risky situations. I build trust through consistent routines, gentle care, and regular updates to pet parents. I also create a calm, familiar environment by maintaining pets’ daily schedules, offering plenty of affection, and ensuring they feel at home even when you’re away.
