About: I work a steady 9–5 on weekdays and have weekends free, allowing me to offer reliable and consistent pet care. With experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and ages, I tailor my approach to each pet’s unique needs—whether that’s energetic play, calm companionship, or following a specific routine. I make space in my life for animal care, not just fit it in, and I always take time to learn about a pet’s favorite activities, schedule, and temperament to ensure they feel safe, understood, and loved. I work a steady 9–5 schedule on weekdays with weekends completely free, which allows me to build reliable, consistent pet care into my daily routine. Mornings and evenings are dedicated to caring for animals—whether that’s feeding, walking, administering medication, or just spending quality time. On weekends, I’m fully available for extended visits, drop-ins, or overnight care. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s something I intentionally make space for in my life. Whether your pet needs a calm companion, detailed attention, or a familiar routine while you’re away, I’m here to provide dependable and loving care every time. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or welcoming them into mine, their comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. In Your Home: I understand how important it is for pets to stay in their familiar environment. When caring for your pet in your home, I’ll treat your space with the utmost respect—leaving everything exactly as I found it, or even better. I follow your instructions closely, maintain your pet’s routine, and always make sure they’re calm, comfortable, and cared for like part of my own family. In My Home: I live in a single-level home with a large, fully fenced-in yard—perfect for safe outdoor time and play. Inside, we have two spacious bedrooms and a relaxed, open layout. Pets have unrestricted access throughout the home so they can settle in, explore, and feel completely at ease. I aim to make it a true home-away-from-home experience where your pet feels loved and secure at all times.
“River was amazing with Bruno. Super responsive and kept me informed with text and pictures. I highly recommend River . Bruno seems to have taken to River and her love for animals comes across on her caring and compassionate care. Thank you River”
About: I’ve been an animal lover since birth and my mom always says my true calling was being a veterinarian. From dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, birds, geckos, you name it, I’ve raised them. I currently am a mom to 2 rescue cats who are both 7 years old. I would love to adopt a dog again but with my cats it would be impossible so I would love the opportunity to interact with puppies/dogs again! I currently work full time 9-6 Monday through Thursday so I am free anytime after 6pm Monday-Thursdays. I am also free on Friday mornings before 1pm! Both of the cats in my home roam freely therefore I unfortunately would not be able to do any pet sitting inside of my home.
About: My whole life I have had dogs. I have also been a pet sitter for my neighbors for 5 years! I love all animals and am free most days to help out. Reach out to get to know me and see how I can help 🐕 I just graduated from Clemson University so I have plenty of time for helping out, feeding, walking, or playing with your pup! Don’t hesitate to reach out! I have experience with little puppies or old dogs, loud dogs or quiet dogs, big or small, crating, many or only one, and any type. I even taught my dog how to roll over!
“Panda and Panther enthusiastically endorsed Jillian when I came home. They said their food bowls were filled to the brim and their water was cool and refreshed daily. But what really impressed them was her relaxed and gentle way with them. They said she was a cat whisperer! Thanks, Jillian!”
“Jess was the perfect cat sitter for our 4 fur babies! She followed our very detailed instructions perfectly and was great at sending us photos and video updates. We will definitely be booking her again the next time we need a cat sitter!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats my whole life and now I also work with kids. I was lucky enough to grow up with two dogs which gave me a lot of experience on how to take care of them. I love spending time with dogs and cats. I love them more than humans. Also, having spent so much time with dogs made me learn how to redirect certain behaviors, which is a plus that your dog will learn while we walk. Thanks and hope to hear from you soon :) *I am fluent in English and Spanish* I work part-time in the afternoons and I study from home. So I have a lot of flexibility in terms of hours. If you want me to petsit at your place I won’t be out for more than 3-4 hours. I will follow instructions and pet routine. I’ll send you daily photos/videos. I also have experience giving medicines if needed. I can water your plants.
“Nicolette was very caring and attentive to my pups. She kept me updated on their activity and well-being with a full report and pictures. I highly recommend her and will book again.”

“Kate was so caring for our two cats and made sure to keep us in the loop with each visit while we were away. It put our minds at ease knowing our boys were well taken care of. I cannot recommend her enough!”
About: It all started with my late dog, Tucker. A lab mix who was rescued and had aggressive tendencies towards dogs & people. After watching almost every episode of The Dog Whisperer (Cesar Milan) I began to help Tucker get past those fears. I loved taking him on long walks and eventually was walking him off leash. He’s gone 9 years now but I still use the techniques I learned with every dog I interact with. I consider myself the go-to walker, sitter, boarder with a number of family and friends. When the dogs are with me, nothing else comes first. And your furry friends would be no different! I work full time but have a very predictable schedule and very rarely work on the weekends. The office is less than a 10 minute drive from my apartment. When I board at my apartment, your dog is guaranteed to get exercise as I take all visitors on a walk for potty breaks as the nearest grassy area is a park 2 blocks away. But when we go for a dedicated walk, I usually log at least 1-2 miles depending on how healthy your dog is. Walks are the exercise and I try to keep them focused on staying on the sidewalk until it’s time for them to go to the bathroom. That focus helps to drain their energy. I always take time intro the dogs to the apartment properly. I don’t immediately let them loose until we’ve had a chance to walk around together inside. It helps them get comfortable with the new environment and with me. If you enforce prohibiting your dog from being on couches and/or beds, I can certainly continue that during their stay. If not, I don’t mind snuggling with a dog on the couch or bed (as long as they wait for me to invite them up.)
“Kaylyn was very prompt and responsible while caring for our pets, three dogs, cats and rats. She always cleaned up after them and took pictures each visit. My dogs to a liking to her very quickly...somtimes they bark but with her it was no problem. Kaylyn always communicated in a timely fashion. Thank you so much Kaylyn for watching the pets on short notice! We will be using her in the future if she is still available.”
“Olena took very good care of His Majesty Eugene, King of Cats, Keeper of the Nip, Defender of the Nap and Holder of our Hearts. We were gone 6 days and each day Olena made sure Eugene had not just his basic care but real engagement. Olena maintained a good sense of consistency regarding time frames and always sent photos which were especially welcome. Olena must be a true cat-o-phile because Eugene doesn’t warm up to everyone. I can heartily recommend Olena as a top notch Carer of Cats. Thank you Olena!”
