“Shannon did an amazing job checking in on our 2 cats while we were out of town. She kept us well updated and got to know both of the cat's personalities. It made being away much easier to know that our cats were in good hands. I would highly recommend her!”


About: I have cared for several work friend's pets, including someone who had 7 medium-large dogs with a laundry list of special accommodations and medications needed I am an Army Veteran going to college, this leaves my afternoons and weekends completely free. I can alter the rest of my schedule to accommodate your pet I have a dog and cat of my own, so I have experience with the difference in the needs and behaviors of the two most common household pets. I care for their physical as well as their mental health to the best of my ability. I strive to care for all animals the same way.

“It has been a pleasure having Jen watch our animals. We are so sad to see her go, but are so happy for her for her new adventure. If you wind up with Jen as your pet sitter you are BLESSED. thank you for everything Jen 🩵”


“Amy came in and watched our girls when our usual cat sitter was unable to. She was great! Our kitties loved her and she took great pictures too! We always worry about our kitties when we go on vacation so it's so nice to have someone who really cares about animals taking care of your pets. We will definitely contact her again when we need someone to watch our kitties for us!”


About: I have lived with dogs my entire life, and adore all types of pets. I have experience with puppies, and house/pet sitting for both dog and cat parents. Under my care, your pets will be treated with the utmost love and affection. My job is to make sure your babies are as comfortable as possible, and ensure you a solid peace of mind while you’re away from them. I will treat your fur babies as if they were my own! I currently work from home, and my schedule is pretty open, though I do travel between Columbia, SC and Roanoke, VA often for the time being. If interested in booking, at least 4 days of notice would be wonderful! Inside of your home, I will care for your pet the same way you would if you were home. I will follow specific instructions tailored to your pet, including feeding times, walks, medications, rules in the home, etc. I love going on walks, and stopping by for potty breaks as well, and will tailor the experience to your pet and what they need.

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was a little kid. I had my dog Brownie (beagle) for almost 15 years! She was the best dog any little girl could ask for. I have always loved dogs and have had special connections with them. This made me decide to have my first job at 16 as a kennel worker at a Veterinary Hospital in West Virginia where I grew up. I am good with behavioral cues and have some general grooming and first aid treatment experience from working there. I am a very responsible dog caretaker and am very trusted by my friends and family when taking care of their pets. What to expect from me as a host guest and guardian to your fur children: 1. I only serve one family at time, so your babies will have my undivided attention. 2. Flexible Hybrid Schedule perfect for babies with separation anxiety. 3. Senior and Special Needs experience to include. Medications, wheelchair etc. 4. Enrichment (walks/scheduled play time) 5. Minor training if requested etc.. 6. Sanitation after meal times - because healthy pets stay healthy with proper hygiene. 7. Your home will be left in the same condition provided or better 😂 8. I am tidy, quiet and respectful. Your neighbors and fur children will love me. 9. Understanding and considerate care because all fur children have different personalities and opinions about things. I work full time and have a mostly remote schedule and I know my availability a month in advance. This makes it easy for me to schedule house sitting, drop-ins, or walkings. I am a very good house guest. I was taught to respect other peoples houses like my own. I am very tidy and abide by all house rules that are given.
