House Sitting Hickory Tavern

“Shannon was absolutely wonderful. Took such great care of our pup and the house looks better than when we left. She sent us daily photos and updates. Truly made our trip less stressful knowing our pup was in good hands.”

“Christine was very conscientious and kind when caring for our 8 yr old pup. She sent photos every day and always responded to my text messages. I felt that she took her responsibility seriously and spent quality time with our dog. Our house was very tidy when we returned from being away. All in all, a positive experience!”

“I just moved to South Carolina a month ago and had to be away a couple of days this past weekend. I was quite anxious having to find someone to stay in my home and take care of my sweet, Nala. She is older, is a rescue, is a large dog, and the move was alot for her. I arranged a meet with Jerry and I was at ease right away; more importantly, Nala was at ease right away. I think dogs sense immediately if a person is a good fit or not. The day I had to leave, Jerry showed up on time (a bit early, actually, which I truly appreciated) and Nala was very excited to see him. Jerry sent many pictures and texts about how things were going over the two days, let me know when he had to leave for awhile and communicated when he was back. Nala needs alot of love and Jerry was attentive and very willing to give affection to her. The stay could not have gone better. Jerry was also very respective of my home and took good care of everything while I was gone. I highly recommend Jerry and am grateful I found him on Rover.”

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: I have always been a huge dog lover and had a dream of training dogs when I got older. I have pet sit for family members before and I have worked at dog daycares in the past. I am comfortable and have experience with dog walking, feeding, bathing, basic training, oral & topical medication, and taking dogs in my car to fun places. I also know dog and cat cpr. I’m currently a college student taking a 100% online course so my schedule is very open. I can work mornings, afternoons, and evenings on weekdays and weekends. I am also comfortable staying overnight as needed. I love getting out for walks with my personal dogs and would love to take your pup out too for some much needed exercise. I love giving my dogs mental enrichment toys and introducing training into their play as a way to play while learning. I’ll reinforce any positive behavior I see and encourage your dog to make the right choice on their own for a tasty snack.

“Crystal was amazing with Harley. She provided daily updates with photos and many with videos. She's very attentive... checked the mail, noticed an active hornets nest at the back of my complex and reported it to staff, and left my place nice and neat at the end of her stay... even washed the bedding! I will definitely be reaching out to Crystal again for pet/ house sitting, again. 10/10 Recommend 😊”

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 have always grown up around animals and started my first pet sitting business when I was 8 years old. I have years of experience making sure when you’re away the pets are feeling loved, cared for, and comfortable. I am available all summer, Sunday through Saturday, until the end of August. After that, I am available Monday through Friday in the evenings and all weekend. I am also open to providing pet care services either in my home or in your home, depending on what works best for you and your pet’s needs. I do not have a fenced-in yard, but I live in a safe, pet-friendly neighborhood that is great for leashed walks and outdoor time. Inside my home, there is plenty of space and multiple rooms available to ensure pets can be comfortable, relaxed, and separated if needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the utmost respect and care, following all instructions closely and keeping everything clean, secure, and as you left it. I prioritize your pet’s safety and routine, and I always aim to provide gentle, attentive care so they feel comfortable while you’re away.

“Our 4 year old goldendoodle , Rosey, has NEVER been left alone. We had to fly to NYC to visit our grandson and left Rosey in Mia’s hands. Rosey adopted Mia IMMEDIATELY. Mia was fantastic. By the time we got back home Mia was Rosey’s best friend! Mia was fantastic and will be Rosey’s ONLY caregiver”

“Shirley was wonderful. She stayed at our home and took great care of our dog while we were away. She was kind, respectful of the house, and very easy to communicate with. We came back to a happy dog and everything exactly as we left it. We would absolutely have her sit for us again and highly recommend her.”

Bert M.

“Lee was really great! He was very affectionate and attentive with our boy. He watched our dog for a week and he had anxiety diarrhea a few times, which was most likely a complete disaster on the carpets. Lee did his best to clean it up. We could tell he really tried to get it clean. The house looked great when we got home and most importantly our dog seemed happy and healthy. Your pet and or home will be in good hands him. We highly recommend Lee and will use him again in the future.”

“Baylee was amazing! She helped out with my 2 cats last minute with no problem. Will definitely be using her in the future :)”

About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. I was raised around them from the time I was 5 years old and started learning how to care for the animals around me. I have a Husky of my own that is my bestest friend and a big baby that is super spoiled. I would love to make your pet feel just as loved with me as they are with you! I work from home so I would be able to provide optimal care for your fur baby. I also have completed vet assistant school and have worked as a volunteer at the humane society multiple times throughout my life. I am currently working remotely so I am able to take care of your pets really whenever. I am pretty open to any schedule that you may have!! I can easily crate your dog if needed, I also have a 4 month old husky puppy to keep them company that is extremely friendly and loves to play.

“Hailey was wonderful in every way. We could not be more pleased with the job she did making sure to take care of Ariel as if she was her own fur baby. We highly recommend her and look forward to booking her again.”

Sheryl C.

“We had a wonderful experience with Sarah! She took great care of our Charlie and kept us updated with photos and messages while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such loving hands. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

About: Hi, I’m Justine! I live in Simpsonville and I’ve been around animals almost my entire life. Growing up I had a dog and a cat and in my adult life I’ve had 2 cats at the same time almost always. I lived with 3 shitzus along with my 2 cats and helped walk, feed, and play with them. I’ve also helped my best friend walk her pit bull while she was pregnant. She was the biggest dog I’ve walked and it took some getting used to her strength! I usually walk smaller dogs but I love all kinds of dogs big or small. In my spare time I like to craft, in particular crocheting and sewing. If you are looking for a sitter, whether your furry friend needs a playful walk or a quiet companion to sit nearby while I work on my latest craft, I am happy to provide a peaceful environment tailored to their needs. I specialize in senior care and those in need of medical needs. Having personally managed the care and medication administration of my own elderly cat, I understand the extra layer of trust required when leaving a senior pet behind. I currently work full time in retail so my schedule isn’t very consistent but I get my schedule 2 weeks in advance so I can update you on my availability. If I know of jobs in advance I can request for time off or certain days off if there’s a specific time or day you need me to take care of your furry friend. My boss is pretty good at working around schedules. In my spare time, I like to do crafts such as crochet and sewing. If I’m sitting for you, I would be happy to sit with your pet while I work on a craft if you’re ok with it. I live in a small apartment so I wouldn’t be able to bring animals home but I’m available for at home sitting. I would respect your home and follow any rules and guidelines that you set up. I understand the importance of taking the absolute greatest care of someone’s fur baby and respecting the guidelines set to take care of their homes while they are away. I’m careful of who I let take care of my furry babies too. It is my responsibility to be as courteous as I can be to respect the wishes of the client and the care of their furry friends.
