“Claire has been a wonderful house sitter. She has been very communicative and sends me pictures of the fur babies everyday I sure feel better with her background and experience leaving my young and older pups with her and I look forward to future trips knowing my doggos will be well taken care of. She even helps around the house and is respectful and kind. She’s amazing 🤩”

“April did awesome with our puppy! I loved that she frequently sent me photos of him and kept me updated throughout the day. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to watch their furbabies.”

“Bryant is really great with my pets. He sends me photos of them while I'm away and sends updates as needed. My house is clean when I get back. My husband and I really appreciate him and will continue to request him in the future.”

About: Though I primarily grew up with cats, I’ve always loved dogs and worked through a dog walking company a few years ago (the only reason I stopped was due to my vehicle being totaled after hitting black ice on the highway). I loved getting to know the personalities and tricks for each dog to keep them happy on walks and visits. For the last four years I’ve been working as a massage therapist and I often miss getting to interact with animals on a daily basis (aside from the ones at home that is). I understand the need for a caring and competent person to interact with and meet the needs of your furry loved one when your at work (or on vacation, etc.) and I am the person to show them that love and compassion. Im currently working part time at the end of the week so I have a good amount of time to take care of your fur baby. Though I'm not able to currently house or take care of pets at this moment, I have my two kitties at home that receive lots of love and attention.
“Jackie was fantastic! She really bent over backwards for us. Highest possible recommendation. She even took care our our chickens! Communication and level of care was 5 star. You can tell she is very invested in each animal she cares for. Thank you Jackie!”

“Emily was very loving and caring for our dog. The first two days we received pictures and put pretty regularly, I would have liked it if she had done that on the last day. Other than that she is an excellent sitter”

“Jessica was so great with our ladies. She was very good at keeping me posted on how everyone was doing with photos and updates! Our house was just as we left it when we arrived back home, and pets seem very happy! Thank you Jessica! We’ll definitely be working with you again.”

“Kittiya is a super sweet very caring individual. Her professionalism is outstanding as she confirms and is there on time. Normally my kitties do not come out for strangers and they ran right up to her as though they already knew her my German Shepherd very much enjoyed spending time with her, I already have her booked for another visit. I highly recommend her.”

About: I have had my dog for 7 years now, and we have adopted our cat last year. I have also grown up with animals all my life and have helped friends and family take care of their animals! I am a teacher, so I have availability during the weekday in the summer. I am also available during the school year, but that is only on the weekends or evenings I enjoy taking my dog on walks around their neighborhoods so I have plenty of experience with dogs on leashes. I also love playing with animals inside or outside.
About: I have been taking care of my family’s and friends dogs since I was in high school. I have stayed over at houses dog sitting or even just stopped by to let their dogs out. I am currently working full time during the week but I may have time after work some days. I am free on the weekends. I have a dog and am out walking him on the weekends. I have a huge back yard and I am in a great spot for long walks on the trails. Greenville has many trails. I am also flexible to come to you.
“It was a pleasure to have Alyssa in our home. Her availability was exactly what we needed for our older dog and her communication with us was great! Our dog was well cared for and our home was clean when we arrived back home. Will definitely book her again for future trips!”

About: I have had all types of animals most of my life as I grew up on a farm. I have two dogs of my own and a cat. I have experience with seizure dogs/blind/deaf/reactive animals. I am also comfortable with high energy dogs as this is what I am used to. I love taking pets on long walks and going to the park! Currently I work as a registered nurse. I pick my own hours so I am usually readily available! In my free time I am usually spending time with my own pets! Potty breaks are given often and lots of cuddles are a must. Please let me know if there is any special needs for your pet!
About: My family has always had at least one dog throughout my whole lifetime so I had a lot of experience with dogs and exposure to different breeds. Since I moved to college I have dog sat for a couple of different families, so I know how to meet the around the clock needs of dogs. I enjoy going for walks and I enjoy having a companion, so I would love to walk or play with your dogs! I have most availability early mornings and evenings as well as weekends! I work from home usually once a week so feel free to message me even if you have a midday need one day! I enjoy going on daily walks and would love to take your dog with me! I am open to watching your pets overnight, but at this point in time I would be willing to watch your dog in your home! I am also willing to come let your pups out, take them for walks, and even just play with them.
“It was our first time using Marsha. She stayed I will book her again. She was responsive and communicated well. She sent pictures daily and walked our very active dog Track more than we requested. He loved it! She left the house neat and clean. I would recommend Marsha!”

About: I grew up on a farm with multiple dogs, cats, and lots of other animals. I raised goats for 4 years. I have extensive experience pet-sitting cats, dogs, and puppies of all ages, including elderly pets. I am confident in the care and peace of mind that I can provide you and your pet(s). P.S. When the calendar says I'm available the whole time, it means I haven't set my availability yet. Thanks for your understanding! My main job's schedule is wildly inconsistent. I do this as a side gig, but I would love to do it more often because I'm passionate about animals and love getting to know and caring for people's pets in a way that gives their parents/owners peace of mind while they're away. Depending on the driving distance, I can provide drop-in care for your pet or stay at your place as needed. I have experience pet-sitting for pets that need medications administered/given.

About: I provide personalized, one-on-one care tailored to each pet’s unique needs, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. With a deep passion for animals and a commitment to reliability, I treat every pet like my own, giving them the attention and companionship they deserve. Pet care fits perfectly into my part-time schedule because it offers flexibility, allowing me to plan visits around other commitments while still providing quality attention to each pet. Whether it's morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, I’m available. I will care for your dog in the comfort of their own home, following their routine to keep them happy and stress-free while you're away. From feeding and walks to playtime and cuddles, I’ll provide attentive, loving care as if they were my own.
About: I had a golden retriever when i was little girl, and my love for dogs exploded! I have experience with young puppies to older dogs. Playing fetch and walking are my favorite activities to see doggie tails wagging! 😊 I currently work part time and go to college part time. I have plenty of time to take care of your loving fur babies and make them always feel at home! I cannot do pet sitting at home, but I am more than comfortable staying at your home and taking care of your furry animal! Safety comes first!
