Dog Sitting in Glenelg

“I’m not even sure where to start, Erin was AMAZING! We had an issue with the door handle that she took care of, the dogs had a rough day and she handled it, she got my mail, and even cleaned up some dog hair! One of our pups decided to go on a hunger strike and she got him eating again by hand feeding him! I would not hesitate for a second to have her back! She was the best and I highly recommend her!”

“Sylvia was great and took wonderful care of our dog, Orion. She asked lost of questions and made sure she understood everything my about how to best care for him. She was trustworthy and forthcoming about everything that occurred while we were away. I would absolutely recommend her!”

“Jordan was amazing with our energetic puppy, Cooper! She always made sure to update us and sent pictures during each visit. Jordan took care of Cooper like he was her own puppy. So glad we found her and will definitely be using her services again! 100% recommend Jordan!”

“Christopher took excellent care of our 4 month old puppy for a 30 minute drop-in each day this week! Our pup has so much energy and is still learning how to be a dog, but Chris did awesome managing him! We got updated pictures of them on long walks each day while my partner and I are at work. Our apartment was kept in great condition, he followed our instructions perfectly. We will definitely be using him again.”

About: Hi! I’m Kelsey, and caring for animals has always been something that comes really naturally to me. I recently adopted my cat, Louis, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. I work full-time in behavioral health, so I bring a lot of patience, attentiveness, and calm energy into how I care for animals—especially those who may be a little anxious or need extra reassurance. I’m available for drop-ins and walks, with extra flexibility on Tuesdays and Fridays when I work from home. I’m happy to follow detailed routines, send regular updates, and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet needs playtime, a walk, or just some company, I’d love to help! Pet care fits really naturally into my weekly routine. I work full-time during the day, but I’m available for morning, evening, and weekend visits, with extra flexibility on Tuesdays and Fridays when I work from home. I try to keep my schedule balanced so I can be fully present with each pet, and not feel rushed between visits. I’m happy to stick to consistent routines, and I’ll always do my best to accommodate specific timing needs when I can. I’m especially a good fit for pets who benefit from a calm, steady presence or a little extra patience. I care for every pet the way I’d want someone to care for mine, with patience, attention, and a really calm energy. I recently adopted my cat, Louisville aka Louis, so I know how important it is to trust the person coming into your space. In your home, I’m very respectful of routines and will follow instructions closely to keep things consistent and low-stress. I take my time building trust, especially with shy or anxious pets (and cats who like to take their time warming up). I’m mindful about safety - secure doors, leashes, clean spaces, and making sure your pet is always comfortable. I’ll also send thoughtful updates and photos so you feel connected and at ease while you’re away. Whether your pet wants playtime, a walk, or just a cozy presence nearby, I’m happy to meet them where they are.

“Destiny was great with our two kitties! She did several drop ins while we were out of town and she cleaned litter and food well, as well as our kittie water fountain. She even picked up some stuff the kitties had knocked over and let us know where she put it. Additionally, she tried to befriend our shy kittie, and even though he didn't want to come out it was nice that she kept checking on him!”

“Taresse did an outstanding job taking care of my house cats during my recent trip out of town. My cats were well taken care of, and they are always happy to hang out with Taresse. She is really a cat and dog whisperer! I highly recommend Taresse - she is very good with both cats and dogs and very skilled in taking care of animals and giving medications. She is also reliable and responsible and keeps everything very tidy.”

“We are so lucky to have been connected with Jennifer! She’s a caring and dedicated pet companion and we have peace of mind knowing they are in good hands while we are away. Our eldest cat can be a handful and she is very understanding of that. In addition, she’s great at communication. This was our third vacation having her as a sitter and we have a fourth one booked for the near future.”

About: I’ve had multiple pets in my home since age 8. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, guinea pigs and fish. Aside from taking care of multiple animals in my home I also started regularly housesitting and dog sitting in high school. I have several years of work experience with children, demonstrating my responsibility, caring, attention to detail and relationship-building. i am a student, so i am only available for the summer. I am in between school and an internship so i have full availability day-to-day unless i have a conflicting appointment! I do not host pets in my home but I am more than familiar with the various safety measures some pet parents use like gates or crates. I am also experienced with walking big dogs, so I take extra precautions when walking to make sure that my puppies don’t go off leash or run into other aggressive dogs.

“Leslie helped me out in a pinch when I needed an unexpected drop in visit. I’m truly grateful that she was able to help out and how communicative she was!”

Alison J.

“Will definitely be reaching out to Katherine in the future if needed! She was great about sending pics and letting me know how the visits went. Thanks Katherine!!!”

“Jasmine was great!! She took amazing care of our two cats while we were out of town. She’s super communicative, takes great photos, and really went the extra mile to keep the cat stuff (food/water bowls and litter boxes) clean. Would definitely recommend her!”

“Jaeda continues to give excellent care to my dogs! She is very reliable and my dogs love her! I will be rebooking her when I need assistance!”

About: I’m able to give medications to dogs and cats as I’ve had hands on experience for years with many different breeds. I’m also able to brush cats and dogs as needed and I’m very adaptable to every need. I work part time at Playa Bowls and I am a student at HCC. My schedule is very flexible and I am able to adjust my schedule as needed. I have about 4 acres of land and a home big enough for pets to get the exercise and play that they need and deserve!

“Yutong did a fantastic job taking care of our 2 Shiba Inu boys while we were out of town for a couple of days. He was incredibly responsive, sent loads of photos and videos, and made us feel very sure that our dogs were happy and well cared for. We will certainly be reaching out to him again to take care of our dogs!”

Andrea S.

“This is my first time using Rover and Ashley has been fantastic to work with. We have a young puppy and a shy adult dog and we need weekly visits. Ashley has been helpful and supportive working out a schedule, knowing it will evolve as the puppy gets older. She's responsive, flexible, and has given us good ideas on how these visits can meet the needs of both dogs and keep them happy and comfortable.”

About: I have never met an animal that I didn’t love. I have had pets since I was young and have sitted for a variety of families. What sets me apart from other sitters is that I have cared for many high demand pets. I’ve cared for young, old, sick, violent, and special needs animals. I feel confident in knowing how to handle almost any type of animal situation. I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, and fish. I’m open to embracing any-type of pet. I work a part time job at a golf course a few times a week. My schedule is very flexible and my shifts are no more than 7 hours long. I am able to switch things around to accommodate the needs of your pet. I always make sure to arrange some type of meet and greet with the pets before coming into a clients homes. This way the animals can feel more safe once I come into their home. Additionally, I always make sure to go over any routines and/or schedules with clients so that I can maintain stability and consistency for the pets.

About: Ever since I was a baby, my family and I have had pets, so many that I can’t remember them all. Ive had two dogs that I was able to care for, one bird, hamsters, gerbils, and guinea pigs. I never have problems cleaning up after pets so cleanliness wont be an issue. In the past I had worked at an animal shelter called Small Miracles Dog and Cat Rescue. Im currently the dogpark attendant at the Columbia Association Dog Park, I work on the weekends from 6:30 AM to 11:45 AM in the winter and 6:30 AM to 1:45 PM in the Summer. Im still able to care for your pet right after work, it wont affect me one bit. When caring for pets, I always make sure that they feel comfortable, safe, loved and respected. I always make sure their needs are met at all times to avoid discomfort for them.

“Harrison was great with Luna! He went above and beyond - will be using again!”

About: I have had a dog almost my entire life. We had dogs in our family growing up and I’d always be the go to person for pet care. I love all animals and actually used to want to be a vet. We recently lost our dog due to an abrupt illness. My heart was shattered and I miss having a dog in my life. She was such an important part of my life! I am a nurse and work weekends and nights as we also have a toddler and 2 other children. I am home and able to care for your dog weekdays. My baby loves to go for walks also and look at dogs. I’m available for drop ins or walks during the week, maybe some weekends also. I am an active person and love dogs so I’m always looking for a reason to go for a long walk! I often bring my toddler but he loves dogs and being outside and sits great in a stroller on walks. I am a firm believer in using leashes on walks and only using fenced areas outside. I am also comfortable with harnesses. We also respect if dogs are allowed on furniture or not.
