Dog Sitting in Irmo

“Hannah provided updates after each visit. I was able to enjoy my trip without worrying about my cat. By the second visit, my cat was already rolling on his belly to her 😁”

About: I'm a pup loving lady ready to love your pups! My pups crossed the rainbow bridge after 16 years of being spoiled so I have lots of love to give your fur babies. I work from home full time but can stay at your house where your pup is most comfortable. I have the flexibility to go let them out at lunch and will return after work. During the weekend, I can be there full time. I can care for your pup in anyway needed in your home. I'm comfortable with any medication needs that your pup requires. I'm also comfortable if your pup requires a crate.

“Ashley is great! On meeting her I felt very comfortable leaving my puppy in her care. She dropped in at the time we discussed and sent pictures of him while she was there. She gave a great report of what her visit was like, and left a sweet note about my pup. Definitely recommend Ashley for pup sitting!”

“I am so thankful for Nicole! She helped my husband and I when we needed someone to let our new puppy out last minute. She was responsive and on time. We will definitely be using her services again!”

“Lindsey and Aaron were wonderful. I have never had to use a babysitting service before, so I was very nervous about how my 2 cat fur babies would react to strangers and concerned about whether Bobo and Ellie would be given the care they were used to. I wasted my time worrying because both Ellie and Bobo took to Lindsey like bees to honey on her first drop in visit on Saturday evening. Even though Bobo and Ellie remained upstairs hiding during my meet-and-great with Lindsey and Aaron on Friday, they obviously overcame their shyness and apprehension by the time Lindsey arrived on Saturday evening. They both greeted her in the kitchen, where she perfectly followed all feeding instructions. Lindsey then spent several minutes in the living room playing with Bobo and Ellie, who nuzzled her hands, enjoyed belly rubs, and being petted as reflected in the pictures she sent to us, as well as our Tapo camera. Lindsey repeated the whole process on Sunday morning as per instructions, and again sent us numerous pictures of Bobo and Ellie enjoying being spoiled by Lindsey. When we arrived home on Sunday afternoon, all 3 litter boxes had been cleaned as per the instructions. I gave Lindsey (and Aaron) 5 stars mainly because of the extra time they stay and played with Ellie and Bobo, which was extremely important to me. The 5 stars were also because they followed all instructions to the letter, and I came home to find 2 very happy cats. Bobo and Ellie do not take easily to strangers. The fact they took to Lindsey and Aaron so quickly speaks a lot about my fur babies’ feelings of safety and security around them. I might also add that Lindsey and Aaron were actually early on both visits. I would highly recommend using Lindsey and Aaron for your fur babies’ babysitting needs! I know I will be using them again! Thanks again, Lindsey and Aaron!”

About: I have taken care of many dogs since the age 10. I have had many dogs and cats of my own. Being away from home for college makes me miss my pets more than anything so being able to walk dogs would brighten my day! I recently graduated from undergrad, now I am beginning graduate school in August. Leaving me with 2 months of time to hang with pets! I am available all day, any day of the week! I live in a dog friendly apartment which has 3 flights of stairs. I am more than willing to come to you if that works better.

“Annagrace did an amazing job watching the pups!”

“Sami did a great job caring for our two cats while we were gone for a week. She kept in frequent communication with me (which I really appreciated cause I can be kind of needy, lol), and the cats were happy when we got home. She got our mail too! Thanks, Sami!”

About: In my life I have owned 6 dogs. One of which got so old she couldn’t eat or drink anything so twice a day I would have give her fluid through an IV that I placed in between her shoulder blades.

My current dog has just been diagnosed with cancer so I am in charge of giving him his meds everyday and making sure he is comfortable. I have also just rescued a kitten who has really come out of her shell and is fully litter box trained. I love all animals and being a college student I don’t get to see mine very often, so I would love to come see yours and help you take care of them when you aren’t able!

“Emily is someone that you can trust to take the best care of your pup! She's easy to communicate with, provides lots of picture updates, and clearly maximizes the time with your pet to ensure they have the care that they need. Our dog is high energy and Emily's visits were filled with lots of playtime (inside & outside), affection, and potty breaks. Thanks again, Emily!!”

About: From the moment I could toddle, at just five years old, my heart belonged to animals. Every purr, chirp, and especially every wagging tail has always brought me immense joy. That lifelong passion is what fuels "Tail Wags & Happy Paws"! I'm not just a dog walker; I'm a dedicated companion who believes every stroll should be an adventure, every sniff a discovery, and every return home a happy memory. Your furry best friend won't just get exercise; they'll get unbridled enthusiasm, compassionate care, and a genuine connection with someone who understands their unique personality. Let's make their paws happy and their tails wag with excitement! I'm currently self employed and work from home with a very flexible schedule.I can accommodate three visit a day to see some happy, wagging tails. I can visit your home three times a day. I'll make sure that your fur babies have fresh water and food on every visit. We can leash up and go for a walk according to desired route preference, play in the backyard or dog park.We will come home or back inside and I'll make sure the pet is comfortable before I leave.

About: For about two years I took care of my cousin's amazing dog Cyrus. My cousin had to travel extensively, so my routine with Cyrus was fairly involved. I took him on almost daily 45 minute walks, during which Cyrus would do his best to sneak tasty poop nuggets from under my laser gaze. I fed him twice per day, adding extra carrots as necessary to fuel some afternoon rounds of golf (his favorite game). And we'd bark at a few cars if they seemed extra suspicious. I also took him on routine vet visits and nail trimmings. I've also pet sit my friend's two cats, Iris and June, when my friend was away for several days. This included keeping the food and water bowls clean and filled, as well as playing with strings (Iris's favorite), and playing hide and seek (June's favorite). Currently, I'm switching from my former profession of teaching Physics, to my future profession of Data Sciece/AI. Right now this entails a lot of sitting and studying, which gives me plenty of time and opportunity to help care for your pet. My particular modus operandi will obviously be at the discretion of the pet owner. But generally, I am comfortable feeding your fur-friend, taking them on walks/playing with them, and taking them for routine visits to the vet if necessary.

About: **small dogs only** I am a recently retired teacher and I am willing to watch your precious pup at my home or stay at your home for an additional fee while you are away. My home is in the Irmo area, and I will watch and love your dog as I did my own morkie, Izzie who, sadly, passed away in September 2023, and our recently adopted 4-year-old Shih-Tzu Gus. We walk on leash only, have a fenced yard, a nice neighborhood to walk, and parks nearby. There will be plenty of play time, nap time, and fresh air. I understand how your pup is your baby, and I will provide the same attention and love you give. I only keep one client’s pups at a time so I can provide that undivided attention they need. My lap is ready for your pup, and belly rubs and snuggles are my specialty. Contact me to discuss pet/house sitting or arrange a meet & greet if you’d be more comfortable before booking. I am retired as of 5/31/24 and have plenty of time and love for your fur baby. I will stay in contact with you and provide pictures and video, whatever you desire. I have a fenced yard and plenty of room inside my house and my heart. I will administer meds if needed and stay in touch with you as you desire.

“Taylor took great care of my Yeti Kittie. She even asked, because I didn’t let her know, if he got tapwater or bottled water. She let me know and took pictures of when she was here. She text me frequently.I would definitely recommend & use her again. ??”

About: I grew up around pets, and always had a dog and a cat. My current dog has been with us 11 years, love to walk her in the neighborhood, and would love to walk yours as well. I'm self-employed part time and have plenty of time to care for your beloved pet whether it's walking in the neighborhood or feeding and playing fetch. I have a fenced yard and semi-friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. Can put in a crate if needed. At your home I can feed, brush, walk, play, belly rubs etc.

About: I started shadowing a veterinarian at the age of 15 and now at the age of 18 have worked my way up as a veterinary assistant. I own a senior Labrador who requires extra care. I rescued a 8 week old puppy who required rehabilitation that I oversaw with the help of a veterinary clinic. She is now well and thriving at 3 years old. I have the ability to administer medications and monitor pets whenever. I just graduated high school and am in between clinics for work. I have a lot of free time during my weeks and a little over the weekends. Due to my own pets I don’t have the resources to board pets. I can travel to client homes, feed, and give meds to pets when needed. Your pets will not be socialized unless instructed by you. I can harness and walk dogs of all sizes as long as it is safe to for me and you pet’s safety. (This would be for an extra fee)

“Emily is great! She's watched our cats a few times now while we were away. She's always super sweet and takes care of them like they are her own. 😊”

“My second time working with Jennifer was just as excellent as the first. She gives me such peace of mind when I leave my kitties home alone. She is great!”
