House Sitting in Hickory Tavern

About: Tucked away in a secluded area of Gray Court, SC, our generously 1acre fenced-in yard provides a tranquil ambiance for weekend play and fun. As a passionate animal care advocate with a robust background in boarding, I tap into 12+ years of boarding and doggy day care services. I am available for both overnight boarding and doggy daycare throughout the day. It is vital that your pet is dog and cat-friendly, as they will interact with other friendly pets in my home. Additionally, we necessitate proof of spaying/neutering, current vaccinations, fecal exam, and flea prevention to maintain a safe and clean environment for all pets. If you need a weekend away or just a place during the day your pet can play with other furry friends and have a day of activity and fun in a safe environment I am only a message away 😄🐶 I am available 7 days a week for pet care services. All dogs and cats need to be socialized and able to play in a supervised group setting. Up to date on vaccines and a recent fecal sample to guarantee no parasites. All pets must be spayed or neutered prior to daycare. A pet profile sheet will be provided first so that I can know the basic needs of your pet and care. I have a one acre fenced in yard, allowing a day of play and fun. A kiddie pool to cool down during the summer heat and a soft couch for when your pup is spent from the exciting day of activity and fun!

About: I've had dogs pretty much my whole life. I dog sit frequently for neighbors as well. I can house train puppies and can also give medication. (pills, eye drops, ear drops, etc.) I am currently a night shift nurse at Greenville Memorial looking to make some extra cash. I have a set patterned schedule that I rarely deviate from. I am not available for house sitting over nights I am working but am available all other nights! I take all doggies on frequent walks and give lots of play time. I also like to run, so if you have an energetic dog who needs lots of exercise I can certainly provide that. All dogs get lots of play time, attention, and snuggles!

About: Hi! My name is Baylee and I am a mom of 3 perfect little kiddos and 1 perfect little dachshund fur baby. I’ve always been a lover of all animals and worked at a humane society for a short period of time before becoming a stay at home mom. I would love to take care of your animals so please don’t hesitate to message me to ask any questions!! Thank you and have a fur-tastic day😉 I am currently a stay at home mom and full time student. While my kids are in school I’m looking to make a little extra money and would have plenty of time for your pets. I am able to come to your house let them out and walk them and/or let them play for a few hours at a time. I would feed them (upon your instructions) and give them all the lovings and belly rubbings they want.

About: I grew up with a mini schnauzer, when I moved onto a farm we than added a great Pyrenees, and two German shepherds which I trained with my mom. Other dogs, I've worked with include: Australian Shepard,doberman, pug, yorkies, mini daschund, chaweenie, and golden doodles. I work from home so I have plenty of time to come care for pets, giving them plenty of attention, play time, proper care and more! I grew up with high energy dogs, and little dogs, so I understand how to care and exercise numerous breeds. There are several parks around me where I would take your dog so they get plenty of exercise! Also, I will devote my time with your pet, giving my full attention whether; playing, feeding, walking, bathing, etc.. I am on top of timing and schedules so your pet will get the love they deserve.

“Jamie really liked Kimberly from our initial meet and great visit. He was well cared for, Kimberly worked during the day, which quite a distance from my home but still came back every day to spend her lunchtime with him, to get him out and play. Jamie wasn’t feeling well one day and immediately contacted me. She stayed with him and worked from home that day to be with him. Kimberly communicated and sent pictures every day. We found a winner, and I will definitely call upon her again whenever I have to leave my precious boy, who is my world.”

About: Over the course of my life, I’ve taken care of many dogs. I’ve had many different dogs as pets, and I helped feed, walk, and bathe them as needed. Taking care of dogs is a passion of mine, and I always made sure to provide the best care possible. I enjoy the company of dogs and always enjoy their unconditional love. As well as taking care of my aunt cats, I would help her. As a full time student away from home, I am able to take care of your pats anytime between Friday and Sunday, so you can count on me to take good care of them for you! You can rest assured that your pets are in good hands with me. I’m also very friendly and will make sure they feel loved and taken care of. I could also provide regular updates to let you know how they are doing.

“Mark did a great job with our dog Ciara and taking care of our house. We are very happy Mark and recommend him! Plenty of pictures and feedback during the stay.”

About: Hello! My name is Mia I am a former vet tech with 6 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve worked with everything from super shy pups to high energy dogs to sweet senior pets, and I truly love them all. I’m comfortable giving medications (including injections) and I’m used to working with anxious or reactive pets. My goal is to make your fur baby feel safe, understood, and cared for while you’re away and to keep you updated so you never have to worry. Even though I’m new to Rover, I’ve been pet sitting for friends and family for years. I’m reliable, calm, patient, and I take your pet’s routine seriously. If your animal has quirks or specific needs, I’m happy to follow whatever instructions you give me. My work schedule can change weekly but the work days will only last about 4-7 hours. On my work days I can drop by before or after work and when requesting to book I will update you with the times! Communication is super important to me; I send photos, updates, and check-ins so you always feel connected. Im here to help make things feel easy and stress free!

About: I'm a 63 year old retired business man grandpa that will take care of your pet as if they were my own. I'm the choice when you want to shut off the worry about your pet and your property and start enjoying your brief time away. Boringly reliable. Grew up on a farm and had my own horse farm for years caring for horses, dogs, cats, hamsters, chickens, etc. I know that this isn't the place for farm animals, but rest assured, your pet is my top priority. One of my present dogs is special need (tripod) and have cared for most of my pets into a very old age. I understand these special animals and have experience with them. I'm retired, so, my schedule is yours. All I ask is for internet access and the ability to leave for 1 or 2 hours per day. Besides that, I'll be at your home. Most of my day (besides your pet(s) will be taken by my writing. I am a published author. I care for my pets at my home in a fenced yard, but when camping we walk them. I have experience in both. If specified and set up, I'll clean up after them if required.

“Rosalind did such an amazing job caring for my 15 year old doggo. She’s professional, thoughtful, and communicative. It can be stressful leaving a senior dog, but Rosalind took that stress off of me and took great care of Jack.”

Stephanie C.

“Sophie did an excellent job house sitting and caring for our goldendoodle, Riley. We had peace of mind while traveling knowing Riley was in good hands. I would highly recommend her to care for you pets!”
