About: I have always loved dogs growing up. i have experience with dogs of all breeds- from German Shepards to Pit Bulls to Maltese and Yorkies! I’ve sat in my own home and have done home visits and drop-ins alike. Have experience sitting for dogs with seizures as well. I do Rover full time so I am always with the dogs. When I step out for a period of time, it’s almost always under 4 hours. I do prefer to stay at home most times. I’ll be certain they are getting THE MOST loving. Your dogs will be my number one priority while they are here with me. Dogs are such an important part of our lives. They will get plenty of attention/breaks etc, keeping water out and food accordingly. Your dogs can have the option of sleeping wherever in my home; I have plenty of blankets and pillows around. Whether your doggo wants to stay in the bedroom at night, sleep in their own kennel, or even in their own space (private room with bed & ac & ceiling fan), I want all animals and humans alike to always feel cozy and comfortable here.

“She’s been absolutely wonderful with my dog — reliable, caring, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. My pup gets so excited every time she arrives, and it’s clear he feels comfortable and happy in her care. She always communicates promptly, provides updates after walks, ect. If you're looking for someone trustworthy and kind to look after your pet, she’s the one!”


About: Hi, My name is Kailynn! I’m a passionate pet sitter and walker with a lifelong love for animals. Ever since I was young, furry companions have been part of my world, filling my days with joy, adventure, and endless snuggles. 💕 Right now, I share my home with three wonderful cats Ivy, Clover, and Flynn. Caring for animals isn’t just my job, it’s my heart and soul! Whether it’s a midday walk, or a cozy cuddle session, I’m here to make sure every pet feels happy, safe, and completely adored while their humans are away. I currently have two jobs, but in between, I have a window of free time from 10:30 - 3:30, the perfect time to spend with playful pets! While these are my usual hours, I may be able to accommodate care outside this timeframe, depending on scheduling. Feel free to reach out, and I’ll do my best to be there for your furry friend! For dogs, safe walks are a must! Whether it’s strolling through their neighborhood or adventuring in a nearby park, I ensure they’re on secure leashes, always watching for surroundings and maintaining a pace that suits their needs.

About: Hi, I’m Ashley! I’ve spent my whole life around animals and currently have three cats and a dog of my own who are spoiled with love and attention. I recently got out of the military, where structure and responsibility were key—skills I now bring into the care I provide for every pet I meet. I’m experienced with pets of all ages, temperaments, and needs, and I know how important it is to feel confident that your fur baby is safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding routines, or just providing calm companionship, I treat every animal like they’re my own. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely love what I do. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time, attention, and consistency they need. Being home throughout the day means I’m available for frequent check-ins, walks, feedings, or just quality time to keep your pet feeling safe and loved. My daily routine already revolves around care and structure, so adding in pet care is a seamless fit. Whether your pet needs a calm, cozy environment or someone active and engaged, I’m able to adjust to their pace and make them feel right at home. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where animals can feel safe and relaxed. I follow each pet’s routine closely—whether that means feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, or quiet cuddle time. I make sure pets have their own comfortable space and always introduce them slowly to new surroundings to reduce stress. I also have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time and three friendly, well-behaved pets of my own who are used to sharing their space.

About: My 1st Drop-In visit is free for multiple visits, just ask! While taking care of multiple pets in my household growing up and dogsitting for friends and family, I know the amount of care and love a dog needs to sustain a healthy and happy life. I like to stay physically active so walking, playing in the yard, or going to the park isn't a problem. I'm currently working part-time, so I do have time to spare for your pets! I am available mainly on the weekends, but during the week I am usually free for pet care/drop off/pick up. I have a fenced yard and a walking trail in my neighborhood for anytime the pups need to go out. I can keep your dog crated or let them roam free around the majority of the house if I am not home. I am available to feed and water your pets in the morning, afternoon, and evening if need be.

About: Former dog mom of over 8 years experience. Aside from personal dog parent experience I have grown up with dogs and have been dog sitting for friends and family for several years. I work from home Monday and Fridays where I can easily care for your pet in my home or yours. For pet care during the week I am available every 4 hours during the day to come look after them. Very active and able to take your pet for up to ~2 mile walks. ****Summer 2025 edit*** Starting June first, I will be an available for boarding bookings 7 days a week unless noted. My boyfriend is a teacher and home during the day for the summer. Your pet will have full time love and care during their visit! He too was raised with dogs and has over 20 years of experience in taking care of them. I have a fenced in yard for your pet to fully run around it. No pets or kids in the home. Able to come sit for ~30 minuites-hour (longer if needed) in your home each time.

“My pup loved his walk with Emily! She is punctual and communicates well. Thank you!”


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.

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)

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: I love animals and know the feeling of going away and worrying about your pet and if they are happy and loved. Finding that person who you feel so confident they are loving your pet as you do, is priceless. I could be this person for you. Kennels are like daycares. They will provide the necessities and certainly care but pure volume and time doesn’t allow them to give the love like a special nanny would who is in your home. I am also a cat lover and would love to take care of your cats too. I will gladly stay in your home as well if preferred. Please consider me I work a full time job in healthcare Monday - Thur and half day on Fridays most often. If you live close to my work ( West Columbia) I can check on your pet at lunch time. I am available most weekends. I try to always keep my calendar updated so you can see my availability. I live alone so your pet would get undivided attention and love. I will cover my furniture so they can cuddle with me , as well as sleeping , if they are used to that. I will want to learn about your pet and their likes and dislikes.
