“Stephanie did an amazing job caring for my dogs! You can tell she genuinely loves animals and truly cares about the pets she watches. She was reliable, attentive, and made sure my dogs were comfortable, happy, and well cared for. This was the first time I had left them in a long time, so I was feeling anxious, but Stephanie put both my dogs and me at ease. Her kindness and care gave me so much peace of mind. I’m so grateful to have found someone I can trust with my fur babies and would highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a loving, reliable pet sitter!”

“The best!!!! Super nice and very dependable. Had to call her last minute to go check in because we were nervous about the care we had booked and she was so helpful and made sure our cats were okay and well taken care of!”

Claire R.

“Marley was awesome! We met the day before my fiancé and I had to leave town and we both felt super comfortable having Marley in our home and taking care of our fur baby. Marley checked in with us everyday and sent us photos of Jana. We look forward to booking with her again and it makes us happy to know we have someone to rely on.”

About: Hi there! My name is Courtney! Growing up with both dogs and cats, I'm a lover of all pets, young, old, large, or small! I have experience with large and small dogs, even special needs kitties. We can do walks, hikes, even a play day in the park! I can also give your kitty all the attention and love they need (cat willing, haha). Whether it's potty breaks, play dates, or overnight stays, I'll be sure to give your pet all the love and attention they need! My husband and I adopted this retriever/hound and he went from 13lbs to 80lbs very quickly! We make sure he gets all the exercise and attention he deserves (he is very spoiled!). I live in a central location to most of Charleston and can be very flexible with my schedule and yours. I'm available for early drop ins and midday. Our dog is crate trained but sleeps with us. We train him regularly and can help with training your pet from walking on a leash to basics. I do spoil my pup a lot so I have pretty experience with that, haha. I love having the opportunity through Rover. Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your little buddy happy!

About: My first love was my childhood dog. I have been caring for dogs since a young child into my current adult life, including elderly dogs who need help taking their medications and young puppies who want to chew on EVERYTHINGGG. I am a proud auntie to three canines (two nephews and a niece), and I know firsthand the stress that accompanies trusting another person to care for your loved one. I would be honored to provide unique, supportive care so you can take care of the other important things in your life. I am a graduate student and part-time substitute teacher with an engineering background. I am lucky to have an extremely flexible schedule, and while it is always nice to make an extra bit of cash, I thoroughly enjoy working with animals! I have a large spare bedroom of my apartment with a big comfortable bed, large window, and overall calm environment. This can easily house up to two medium-sized pets comfortably while kept separate from the other room where my pets stay. My apartment complex includes great sidewalks and grass for frequent walks and outside play as needed.

“Malinda did a great job even with booking on a very short notice!”

“Kaitlyn was absolutely amazing! My kitty loves her and I felt so good about leaving him alone with her awesome visits.”

About: I have been passionate about taking care of animals since I volunteered at my first animal shelter cleaning cages at 11 years old. I have been fortunate enough to carry that into adulthood, partnering with two local shelters. I have dedicated thousands of hours in my home to fostering and supporting the adoption of local shelter dogs for the last two years. In my personal time, when not volunteering, I am training for an upcoming marathon, so for pups who require more than an afternoon stroll, I am happy to have them tag along on my runs, short or long distance! I have one Persian cat named Sir Alfred who is 12 years bold, and a 2 year old Doberman named Circe, who both have plenty of experience welcoming new faces into our home. I have experience with more aggressive dogs and cats, and I am comfortable with dogs that might be considered difficult on a leash. I work full time, and also serve in the Army reserves one month a year locally, but I am available for lunch, evening, and weekend walks/stop ins. For boarding, I am able to spend time before and after work, as well as hour long lunch breaks with my house guests! When I have guests who aren’t very cat friendly, my cat has his own safe room in the house that he stays. My dog Circe goes for a morning run with me every morning, and is crated during the day while I work. I spend my weekends taking her to local parks or events. I have a fenced in back yard that everyone has access to at their own enjoyment. My live in partner and I work together with our pets to ensure they are always mentally and physically stimulated.

“Payton took the best care of my babies and she administered medication properly to our older cat. She was very communicative and thoughtful, and ensured that we got to see our girls every day.”

“Sam is dependable and takes good pictures of my dog when she visits him. It is nice to see cute pics of my dog when I am at work. I know my dog likes to have his buddy Sam visit.”

Jessica H.

“Madelyn did such a good job taking care of my cat! She was responsive and made sure that my cat got all the right care she needed. I would definitely recommend using her for any pet needs you may need.”

Tessa F.

“This was my first time using Brandy and it was such a great experience! She took amazing care of my sweet Mags. She sent me tons of updates and photos which helped immensely. Magnolia absolutely loved her visits with Brandy!!”

About: I am an all around animal lover. I grew up with a variety of pets - dogs, cat, turtle, hamster and more. I now have 2 goofy and crazy pit bulls who I adore. Being adopted - they both have their share of quirks. One of our dogs was very mistreated before she was in our care. She now struggles with being leash and dog reactive - and she can be tricky when meeting new people. Because of this - I know how stressful it can be to find a pet sitter you can trust. My dogs are like children to me, and I know the energy, love, and care they deserve. My dogs have truly changed my life and I hope that I can be someone that can give you a sense of peace while you are away. Because of my special pups - my home is not a good environment for boarding. I am open to Drop Ins, Walks, and the occasional overnight in your home. I would like to do a meet and greet before every first visit - to ensure that you, your pets, and I all feel safe and confident. One of my dogs has bad allergies and I give her medicine every day. I have a lot of experience with giving dogs pills. I do not have any other medication administration experience - but I am open to learning if this is something you would like. I took both of my dogs to training classes. First dog for 3 years - second dog for 2 years. So I have a basic understanding of commands and other dog behaviors. I work from home with sporadic in person meetings. My schedule is flexible and I am able to build it around appointments. The earlier you let me know the times you'd like for me to work - the easier it will be for me to mark off that time for you. I work a hybrid position where I mostly work from home and then also have in person meetings throughout the week. I set the meeting times myself - so my schedule is very flexible. I am able to check in on your pups throughout the work day and I have weekends off. I have two dogs of my own at home who are large and somewhat reactive to other dogs. Because of this, I do not feel comfortable watching your pets in my home. I would love to do drop ins - where I can come in, care for you pet, and give them quality time and attention. I am open to walking dogs as well, but I would prefer a meet and greet to go over walking details and if I feel comfortable walking more than one at once- or if your dog has any quirks I may want to see before the first walk. I am open to doing an overnight in your home - but I would prefer to have already met your pet a few times so that I feel comfortable and I would like to meet you as well to establish our relationship before staying in your home.

About: I have been walking dogs since I was 12 years old. I have also been dog sitting since I was in high school. I have dog sat for friends, family, employers, and specifically dog sitting clients. I have experience spending overnights in the owner’s homes caring for their beloved pets, including feeding and bathing dogs. I also have experience fostering puppies, which I do for a local animal shelter. I also have owned dogs for most of my life and enjoy spending time with them. I currently work full-time, but I will have plenty of time on the weekends for boarding, walking, playing, and caring for your loving animals. I am also open to doing weekdays/nights if your pets are house trained for me to be able attend work. This would include long morning walks before and after my workday. I have a fenced in yard and I also have two of my own friendly dogs that could keep your pet comfortable, or if you would prefer my dogs can go to their grandmothers and your dog can have the house to themselves. I have a “dog room” set up in my house, which includes protective flooring for accidental messes, a dog friendly couch, and camera monitoring system. It is also gated. I also have the ability to crate your loving pet if needed. I have an xl crate, so you wouldn’t need to bring one. In a client’s home, I am very respectful of your space and always clean up after myself. You will often return home with washed linens and tidied space. I will abide by any rules you set and am always easily able to get in touch with during my stay in your home. I provide daily photo/video updates of your fur baby.

“So, so grateful for Nicki! She took great care of our 3 pups on super short notice: she was timely, friendly, left detailed reports and lots of pics, and the dogs LOVED her! Would absolutely recommend!”

“Aaron is wonderful! Thank you so much for checking on Odin for us!”

About: I am recently separated from active duty in the Air Force, and looking for ways to help out the community during my transition. I have day to day experience with our needy cat, and experience when I was younger and our family owned dogs! I do not have any training experience, but I do have a 1 year old daughter, so I am patient and willing to learn and assist! During my time in the military, I learned skills of task management and attention to detail, so I will follow instructions diligently! I am transitioning into the reserves but currently have a lot of free time so I am very flexible until I start my full time job later this winter. For care in the clients home, I will follow any instructions. I am also very active, so if you have an active dog, I would be able to go for runs with them or take them to dog parks if requested.

About: My whole life has always been centered around animals. Vacations included traveling to zoos and aquariums in other states. Many summers were spent going to zoology camps scrubbing buckets and prepping animal diets. I have an associates in general science and I am completing my education currently for a bachelors in science. I grew up surrounded by animals at home- furry, feathery, and scaley! I have always loved dogs and cats so this is a great opportunity for me to spend more time with creatures I adore. I volunteered at a local animal shelter for many years before I moved from New Jersey down to SC. Paired with going to a few zoology summer camps, I have lots of hands on time with animals of all kinds (up to cheetahs, elephants, and sharks!) I hope this shows that I will do my absolute best to take care of your babies while you aren’t home and will love them like they’re my own. I wouldn’t expect anything less for my animals when I have to leave them and that’s exactly what I want for your pets. Animals I have experience in personally caring for at home: dogs, cats, snakes, frogs, lizards, hermit crabs, saltwater and freshwater fish, hedgehogs, parrots/parakeets, hamsters, rabbits. I am more than willing to take care of any other pet you may have! I have a part time job as a barista with a varying schedule every week but I am available outside of those hours on both ends of my day. My schooling is 100% online so other than my work schedule I am fully available to your pets. I’m sure we can work something out with our schedules and I would love to be a part of your pets’ days. I will only be offering a limited number of services as well as accepting only a couple of clients at a time. I want to give each pet I meet the best care and all the attention they need.
