“Lexie was great with communication. Huck had a great day with the other dogs! I appreciated that she rinsed him off before I picked him up too. He had fun in the run and got a bit dirty. :). Loved the horses, goats and chickens. Will use again- only drawback is location isn’t very close to my home.”
“Nicole and Telly are AMAZING!!!! They have helped me and my dogs through an incredibly stressful transition moving across country. They treat my dogs like part of the family! My girls look forward to spending their day with them and their dog Apollo. The dogs wrestle together, bask in the sunshine, roll in the yard and go on long walks. When I pick them up they are POOPED and sleep the whole 20 min back to the Airbnb that we are currently staying in. This is so helpful for one of my dogs who has massive anxiety issues, because she’s too tired to stress about all of the changes we’re going through. Nicole, Telly and their kids truly love animals and are fabulous caregivers! I feel so fortunate to have found them!🙏🏻”
“Qais was very flexible with my changing schedule. He did a great job watching my dog Marge and gave regular updates throught the day. I would definitely let him watch her in the future.”
About: Hi there! I’m Erica — a lifelong animal lover who has shared her life with all kinds of pets. Today, I’m lucky enough to have one rescue dog and two rescue cats, and they are truly my babies. I don’t consider them pets; they’re my children. They follow me from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to bed, and they bring so much joy and personality into my life. Before adopting my own crew, I fostered dogs for a rescue group, which gave me experience with pups of all backgrounds, personalities, and needs. That time taught me patience, compassion, and how to help animals feel safe, understood, and deeply cared for. When you trust me with your fur children, my number one priority is giving you security and peace of mind while you’re away. I want you to know they’ll be cared for with the same love, attention, and respect you give them every day. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding routines, or special instructions, I’m here to make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cherished. We would love to welcome your fur babies into our extended family and treat them as if they were our own. We truly love to love on four‑legged fur babies. Caring for animals is already a natural part of my everyday life. My own rescue dog and two rescue cats are deeply woven into my daily routine — from morning feedings and playtime to evening snuggles and winding down together. Because I’m so used to giving consistent love, attention, and structure to my own pets, adding care for your pet fits seamlessly into my schedule. I’m home regularly throughout the day, which allows me to provide reliable check‑ins, feeding, litter box care, enrichment, and companionship. Whether your pet needs quiet company, interactive play, or a little extra reassurance while you’re away, I’m able to incorporate their needs smoothly into my weekly rhythm. In my own home, caring for animals is part of my everyday rhythm. My rescue dog and two rescue cats are truly my babies, so I’m constantly tuned in to their needs — feeding routines, fresh water, clean litter, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of affection. Because pet care is already woven into my daily life, extending that same level of attention to your pet feels completely natural. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and comforting as possible. I follow your instructions closely, whether that includes feeding schedules, litter box care, medications, playtime, or quiet companionship. I’m patient with shy or sensitive pets and always move at their pace, making sure they feel safe and understood. I also provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is always the same — to treat your pet with the same love, respect, and gentleness I give my own.
“Teia had a great time and came home ready for a nap. Lyndsay sent beautiful pictures which we will treasure. And really appreciate her flexibility and agreeing to our last minute request for daycare. See you soon!”
“Michael & wife (Tracy, I think) were such a pleasant surprise considering I booked last minute. So accommodating and super sweet people. Amazing with dogs, as my baby is very skiddish and slow to warm but adopted easily in their home. The second day my dog came right up to Michael, excited and tail wagging. It was a huge relief. I booked last minute after a little crisis and was so thankful to have such good people take care of my dogs. There a little out of my way but I trust them 100% with my dog. Thank you again!”
About: What sets me apart is the personalized care and attention I give every pet. I work from home full-time, so your pet won't be left alone for long periods and will have plenty of companionship, supervision, and opportunities for potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and preferences so they feel comfortable and secure while you're away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing nearby while I work, I'll make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. I also know how important it is to stay connected while you're away. You'll receive regular updates, photos, and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and in good hands. My goal is to make your pet's stay feel like a home away from home while giving you complete peace of mind. I work from home, so I'll be available all day to supervise and care for your pet. We'll enjoy playtime throughout the day, along with morning and evening walks, weather permitting. I have a fenced-in yard and a 6-year-old female American Staffy named Lilly. Lilly is very social and gets along great with other dogs and even cats.
“Buttercup had a great time with Kira and friends. She came back happy, tired, and well taken care of. Kira was friendly and helpful with our new baby fears. Buttercup will be back for sure?”
About: Hi, I’m Sierra! I’ve been around animals my whole life. I have over 10 years of experience in pet care services, and I’m passionate about providing loving and reliable care for your furry friends. I also have a 7 year old dog named Karson who’s super friendly and loves meeting new friends! I work from 8 AM to 4PM on weekdays and have open availability on weekends. On weekdays, I come home during my break to let the dogs out and give them some love. Every day after work, the first thing we do is head outside to play in the yard! I have a pet-friendly house with a privacy fence, so your pet has plenty of space to play and relax safely. I’ll be giving them lots of love and care. I have an extra-large crate available if your dog needs one for any reason.
“Omgosh! Michelle was our hero the weekend of my nephews wedding! Newly relocated to the Charleston area, we knew no one to watch our pup while we went to Savannah for the wedding. We found Michelle in Savannah, and she was wonderful!! So sweet and loving to our 10year old poodle bichon, and he seemed to be comfortable with her and her place right away. If you're looking for the perfect dog sitter, look no further, Michelle is your gal.”
About: Ever since I was a child I have had a passion for taking care of animals: From fostering dogs as a child, getting my first job in a boarding facility, and 5 years as a veterinary technician. With my depth of experience from the veterinary field I can administer medication, provide care to those with special needs, and ensure a safe and healthy environment while providing love and affection. I work entirely from home and am available at all times of the day. I never would leave any dog unattended except for short periods, in which they would be safely crated. I take the utmost care to provide a safe and healthy environment for all pets including my own. I am meticulous in keeping our home clean, preventing any potential hazards of being in reach of animals, and ensuring there is clean water available at all times. At the same time, I want every guest to feel at home, and believe in animals having access to as much space as possible, feeling comfortable to sleep on the furniture and explore the house while supervised.
About: I have had my own animals (dogs, cats, rabbits etc.) for over 15 years and have also spent over 7 years as a lead oncology/internal medicine veterinary technician at a prestigious animal hospital. You can definitely trust your fur babies are in good hands when they are with me! I am available with little to no scheduling conflicts in sight. I am available during typical working hours and evenings as well as most weekends. I have one dog at home who would love to have some friends to play with. He is used to small and large dogs as well as cats. I also have 2 cats at home and they are used to being around dogs of all kinds. I give great snuggles and I'm even ok with drooly kisses.
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life, I’ve grown up with just about every type of animal from small to large, I’ve worked at dog rehabilitation centers, I’ve been a dog groomer for over 12 years (still grooming out of my home) I’ve worked as a vet tech in multiple veterinary clinics as well. I’m a professional groomer that works from home, my kiddos do home school, so my daily routine is usually about the same lol I groom just about every day, and also occasionally board for my long term clients With me working from home and having my kiddos home, I would absolutely prefer your pet to be dropped off and picked up, your pet will have the opportunity to play with my personal dogs, get to go outside plenty of times and also have that human interaction as well rather then being in a kennel/run for hours on end before getting let out to go potty.
“She is such a wonderful person! We had great communication, and she always kept me updated on how my puppy was doing. She sent me pictures and videos every day, which I really appreciated. I definitely recommend her! 🫶”
About: I’ve always had a genuine love for dogs and enjoy making them feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, and I understand that every dog has their own routine and needs. I provide a clean, safe, and loving home environment where dogs can relax, play, receive plenty of attention, and be treated like part of the family. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, daily routines, administering basic care, and making sure each dog gets the individual attention they deserve. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog, especially when you’re away. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind while making sure their dogs are happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout their stay. I also love keeping owners updated with photos and messages so you can see how your pup is doing while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I’m home most of the day, so caring for dogs fits naturally into my daily routine. I have plenty of time to play with them, let them outside, and give them attention throughout the day. I’m also pretty flexible with drop-off and pick-up times and always try to make things easy for pet parents. I want every dog that stays with me to feel comfortable and at home. I have a fenced yard where they can safely go outside, play, and enjoy some fresh air. I always keep an eye on the dogs and make sure everyone gets along. I also follow each owner’s instructions because I know every dog has their own routine and personality.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little, growing up my grandma had a lot of dogs which started my love for them. I have taken care of many stray dogs around my area, i’ve also dog sitted for many local people in my hometown neighborhood. I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs, routines, and even their little dislikes to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I’ve handled cats, rabbits, and even turtles lol. Small or big , Reptile or mammal I love them all unconditionally :). I recently got out of the military, so my schedule is very flexible! I’m available Monday–Friday and may also be available on weekends. I don’t travel very often, so I can usually accommodate holiday bookings as well. I’m happy to work around your schedule and your pet’s needs whenever possible. :) I have a fenced-in backyard where your fur baby can safely run around and play whenever they’d like! I also have two fur babies of my own who are very friendly with other animals and love to play. I spend time with them outside every day, so if your fur baby is playful and enjoys having some company, they’ll have plenty of friends to keep them entertained. I want every pet in my care to feel comfortable, safe, and right at home! 🐾❤️
“Eileen was a very pleasant lady and great with Daisy. We felt very comfortable leaving Daisy with her, who had a good time with her dog. The fenced backyard was great for Daisy to roam around. I would recommend Eileen to anyone who needs a reliable pet sitter.”

Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
