About: Leaving your pups with a stranger is extremely worrying! With me as your sitter, I can send you wellness pictures as often as you’d like, text you plenty of updates, and treat them as my own. I currently own 5 very high maintenance dogs, in which most of them are large breed. I’ve gone through thick and thin with dogs, but I believe that they all deserve love. If you are worried about finding a sitter who can manage your wild (or calm) dogs, then I’d be happy to help! I will always elaborate on my schedule with owners and spend as much time as I can with the animals! I work part time, but most likely I would be requesting off work to be with your animals. I don’t mind dogs on the couch, or on the bed. I am not strict on any training at all, but being potty trained is fairly needed unless it’s a puppy or senior. I can provide walks and baths. If your pets need a few hours of playtime, I can play with them as well. Every family has specific needs that I would be glad to discuss with you!

Carly took great care of our pup while we were on our trip! We got updates and photos with each visit and our dog was excited to see and play with her each time. Will definitely book again in the future!

About: I’ve been passionate about animals my entire life and bring a deep understanding of dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments to every pet I care for. I have experience with both puppies and adult dogs, and I’m comfortable adapting to a wide range of energy levels, personalities, and behavioral needs including behaviors such as resource guarding. Whether your dog thrives on structure, needs extra patience, or has a more outgoing and playful nature, I take the time to get to know them individually so I can engage with them in the way that suits them best. I understand that every dog and household has its own routines and expectations, and I’m committed to following any specific instructions or precautions to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m patient, attentive, and also very outgoing, which helps me build trust with dogs while keeping them happy and engaged. I’m also able to administer oral medications if needed and am attentive to any health or behavioral cues. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own—with care, respect, and genuine love. I’m new to the area and currently planning my wedding, which gives me a very flexible schedule to dedicate to pet care. Because I’m not working a traditional 9–5 right now, I’m available during weekdays, evenings, and for overnight stays—making it easy for me to give your pets the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. I have experience caring for pets with a wide range of distinct temperaments and understand how important it is to recognize and respect each animal’s unique personality and needs. I’m very mindful of the routines, boundaries, and safety measures that help pets feel secure, and I make it a priority to follow them closely. I treat every home with the same respect and care as I would my own, and I approach each pet as if they were my own as well. My goal is to provide attentive, reliable care while maintaining the natural flow of your home and your pet’s routine—ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away and that you feel comfortable as well.

Amanda is THE BEST. She took such great care of our cat again while we were away. It's so nice to be able to travel and not worry at all about our kitty being cared for. You won't find anyone better to take care of your pet!

Jennifer watched our two dogs over winter break and did amazing! She kept music going for them, made sure the house stayed organized, and sent great updates and pictures after every visit. Jennifer also always responded extremely timely every time I would message her while we were away. Lastly Jennifer even picked up our dog toys so we could run the roomba before we got home!

Where do I begin? I guess let me start by saying I don’t trust ANYONE except like 3 close friends with my pup. He’s a Norwegian Elkhound & Poodle Mix (a hound-doodle if you will lol). If you know anything about doodles, they are a very high energy/high stimulation breed, and also insanely smart! But also takes soooo much time to train them and consistency is absolutely key with them. With that being said, he learns (and unlearns) QUICK. For example, he used to be a HUGE jumper, and being a bigger lanky dog, it’s not a behavior I would like to be reinforced. After months of training it out of him (yes months…) he was finally not jumping or lunging at people! Yay!! But then… I had a sitter once that told me she made sure he didn’t jump… my security cameras said otherwise. And him jumping scratching my face when I came back home… also said otherwise. However, with Destinee that was absolutely opposite of the case!! She still implemented training with him, adhered closely to his med/eating schedule, played with him, gave him his treats/bones, and just took such great care of him. I could tell just from the pictures (which were also 👩🏼‍🍳💋) that he was being well taken care of and those behavioral boundaries were still being maintained!! When I got home, I swear he was even calmer than when I had left!! I will definitely be a repeat client for Destinee, and am so happy she was the one that responded to my request 🩵

We needed a dog sitter at the last minute for our 4 large dogs for a weekend and Emma responded quickly and was able to come over and meet the dogs later that day, despite the short notice. They immediately took to her and acted like she was part of the pack. Emma took great care of them and was very communicative throughout the weekend, writing us very detailed visit descriptions and sending lots of pictures. She made our first time using this service very easy. Would definitely use her to check on or sit for our dogs again.

About: My love for pets is why I started pet sitting. I have been a dog sitter and walker for over 5 years. I have two dogs and two cats, so I understand how important it is to find the right person to take care of your “kids”. I grew up with a household of furry friends, and look forward to meeting your family. Wednesday through Saturday I am self employed as a co-owner of a salon. I am located in the Greenwood area and have the ability for daily evening walks, or an overnight stay if needed. Need a weekend away? I can stay at your place over the weekend to take care of your fur babies. We will play, walk, eat, drink and I give the best belly rubs. I want to get to know you and your pets routines when we meet. It’s important that I know their feeding schedule, where their leash is, and any walking route they are accustomed to. I want to keep the routine down to minimize stress for them and you.

Kamela is wonderful! I am a new puppy parent and I’m lost but she is great at holding my hand during this process with encouragement and helping me reinforce what I’ve been doing with my pup. I can definitely tell that she enjoys what she is doing and loves my little guy. She keeps me updated throughout the day and lets me know how great the visit is going and if my little guy has done anything new. I’m so happy I found Kamela on Rover ?
