House Sitting in Jefferson

“Laura has been incredibly dependable and trustworthy while caring for our girls. Today, one of them woke up not feeling well, and Laura immediately contacted me without hesitation. Because of her quick action, I was able to arrange a same-day vet visit, and she took care of getting her there and safely back home. It was truly a blessing to have someone so attentive and responsible with our girls. Knowing they were in good hands gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I’m very grateful for her reliability and care.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover based on a 10-acre homestead in Pageland, SC. I specialize in structured, safe boarding with supervised outdoor time and secure indoor accommodations. We have a brand-new 6-foot wooden privacy fence enclosing our backyard, providing a secure area for dogs to exercise, stretch, and explore during supervised potty breaks and play sessions. Guests stay in our large climate-controlled sunroom outfitted with seven kennels, giving each dog their own secure space to rest comfortably between outdoor time, meals, and enrichment. Crate rotation and routine breaks are built into our daily schedule, ensuring dogs have consistency and predictability. Crate & House Access Policy • Crating is standard when we are away or sleeping, and during rest periods. • Potty breaks are offered approximately every 2 hours during waking hours. • For older, calm, fully house-trained, non-destructive, and cat-friendly dogs, free-roam house access may be considered on a case-by-case basis with owner request and compatibility assessment. • Dogs with separation anxiety, destructive tendencies, or unsafe habits (counter-surfing, door-bolting, etc.) will remain on our structured crate schedule for their safety. Experience & Approach I’ve owned and cared for everything from hedgehogs and geckos to chickens, horses, and working-breed dogs. I’m comfortable with: • Medication administration (oral or topical) • Senior dogs • Puppies & house-training stages • Reactive or shy personalities • High-energy dogs who require clear routines • Multi-dog coexistence and safe rotations My husband runs his own business and is home most of the time, ensuring someone is almost always present for supervision, potty break intervals, and routine care. I am home evenings and weekends, and we work together to provide structure, security, and consistent monitoring. What You Can Expect • Individual crate spaces (no shared kennels) • 6-ft fully fenced private yard • Consistent potty break schedule (≈ every 2 hours) • Supervised outdoor time only • Optional house freedom only if fully compatible • Daily updates, photos, and communication We focus on safe, predictable, and tailored care based on each dog’s needs and the comfort level of their owner. Whether a pup thrives with structured crate rest or enjoys calm, supervised sunroom naps, we tailor stays responsibly rather than one-size-fits-all. I work full-time as an insurance producer in Monroe, NC from 8–5, Monday through Friday. I’m home all day on weekends, and during the week, my husband is at our homestead full-time and helps provide care and supervision. Since we work as a team, your pets will never be left alone for long periods. I’m also available for morning or evening drop-ins and walks depending on location and schedule! We live on a peaceful 10-acre homestead. We do not allow free play with other pets - so you know that your furry friend is safe and sound the entire stay! They will have supervised playtime with other pups from the same household, or with just our staff! Our top priority is a safe stay.

“Janie was outstanding! Sent daily pictures and updates, this really helped. Not only did she care for our member of the family, she made sure our home was taken care of as well. It helps when you have a professional like Janie. My wife and I highly recommend Janie in every area of pet care and security.”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for multiple dogs of different breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I currently have an almost 3-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer, a German Shepherd, and a rescue pit bull, so I’m very comfortable handling active, strong, and high-energy dogs. In addition to my own dogs, I’ve cared for friends’ dogs and cats many times, including feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to keep our pets on their routine and give them attention, patience, and a safe environment. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I am available in the mornings before work, during my lunch break, and after work in the evenings, which allows me to provide consistent drop-in visits, walks, feeding, and playtime. I also have more flexibility on weekends, which gives me the ability to take on longer visits or additional care if needed. I’m able to stay organized and reliable with my schedule, making sure each pet gets dependable attention and care throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medication if needed, and any specific care preferences the owner provides. I make sure each pet gets attention, playtime, and comfort so they feel safe while their owner is away. I also keep the home clean and respected, making sure everything is left as I found it. I give regular updates so clients know how their pets are doing and can feel confident they are being well cared for.

About: My experience comes from owning my own pets (goats,chickens,ducks,dogs,cats,bunnies,guinea pigs,hamsters) and petsitting (yes, even even horses, pigs, snakes and bugs). In previous years, I fostered for countless animal rescue groups and shelters, whether it was just volunteering or fostering puppies or senior dogs in need. I currently own a pitbull/lab rescue, Cali, who I trust with few people. I completely understand the anxiety when it comes to trusting someone new to watch over your pup. This is why I prioritize communication, forming relationships with both pets and parents, sending frequent updates and paying close attention to details/routines provided to me. After each visit, you can always expect to find water bowls to be clean and full, leashes hung up and everything just as you left it except this time with a happy and tired pup! Please reach out with as many questions as you'd like, I look forward to hearing from you! I have a dog of my own, so pet care is already built into my routine and something I look forward to everyday. I'm also available for last minute needs and do my best to be as flexible as possible as I understand plans can change :) How I care for your pet depends entirely on the instructions you give me, I strive to follow your directions as closely as possible to ensure you, your pet and myself all have a great experience that is as similar as can be to your routine with them. With that being said, each pet I care for is treated as my own and will have my full attention when I am with them.

About: I have taken care of many different types of dogs and cats, along with many farm animals and exotic birds. I can handle playing, walking, bathing,meds and potty breaks. I currently work multiple part time jobs and can fit some animal care in my schedule. With my husband's job being from home. There is always someone here for any animals being boarded. I have a large farm property on a dead end road with lots of room for your fur babies to play. There is always someone here to play and care for your babies so they are never alone. I have large crates if needed and toys galore. I have years of references and experiences and clean background check to help you feel completely safe.

“Alisa took such wonderful care of our boxers while we were out of the country. She went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, safe, and loved the entire time we were away. We especially appreciated the daily updates—she sent photos and videos every day, which gave us so much peace of mind. Not only did she take incredible care of our dogs, but she also tidied up the backyard, which was such a thoughtful touch. It was clear from the start how kind and attentive she is, and our dogs absolutely adored her. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would trust Alisa again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and truly exceptional with pets.”

“Allison is great! Very kind, reliable, and overall good energy. We will definitely be using her again for our cruise! If she is available when you need her, book her! You won’t regret it!”

“Elizabeth is very communicative and will send you frequent updates and photos to keep you updated on your pets. During her time with my dogs, she had to deal with one doggo who wasn’t feeling well and as a result, he made a big mess and then with our fire alarm going off non-stop due to a lack of batteries… ooof. She handled both situations well, cleaning up after the dog, even replacing our fire alarm batteries, and keeping me updated on everything. She is very responsible and takes good care of the doggos!”

“Cara was great with my anxious dog. Would definitely ask for her help, again.”

About: Hi! I'm Christina. I'm married and have a dog, two cats, and an African Grey Parrot. I work remotely, I love to travel, and I love animals, so I'm happy to find a way to combine all three! I work remotely for a bank as a Technical Writer. When I'm not doing that, I love to read and travel. A few years ago, I did a solo cruise to Alaska, and it was probably one of the best trips of my life. Whale watching was something on my bucket list, and I was really excited that the stars aligned for the opportunity to do that on my birthday. My parents have lived on a farm for about 16 years now, so I have a lot of experience with farm life and caring for chickens, guineas, goats, fish, and livestock guardian dogs. Along with my experience owning dogs, cats, and parrots. If you think we would be a good fit, please feel free to reach out, and I'm happy to chat more! I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible which allows me the ability to work around your needs for pet sitting/walking. I'm happy to talk further about specific needs. I would follow instructions of the pet owner - supervised backyard play, on-leash walks, etc. I always provide updates at each check-in and include photos.

About: I have great experience with taking care of all pets. I have also fostered multiple animals in the past couple of years and love it! I am currently working a part-time remote job, so I have a very flexible schedule. With a lot of free time, pet-sitting will definitely work well. I have a fenced in backyard with a lot of room to run around. I have my own dog who is super friendly. Your pet will have my full attention at all times!

“Amaya took great care of my pup! I will definitely keep her in mind for the pup's future needs!”

About: All my life I have had my own pets, large and small, which consists of King/German Shepherds, Labrador Retrievers, Australian Shepherds, and many different cats. My mom has taught me how to not only take care of; but also teach commands to dogs. Any animal that I take care of, I treat the animal as if it were my own. 🐶🐕🐱🐈 I am a student in high school going into senior year starting in late August. As it is summer right now, my schedule consists of weekdays from Monday to Thursday. When taking care of your dog/cat, I offer any service the animal needs which including: using the bathroom, crating them, giving them food or water, and keeps me them entertained and happy.

About: Hello and thank you for viewing my profile! I am a life-long animal lover who would love to provide care for your furry friends! I am well educated and highly experienced in raising, training, and the overall caring for dogs (along with a variety of other animals, ranging everywhere from pet rabbits to snakes lol). My love for animals began at a very early age when my mother started up her own small, in-home dog boarding and grooming business. My childhood was spent playing with, learning about and caring for dogs of all ages, breeds and personalities. Im so grateful for having had the privilege of growing up in such an animal loving environment, which undoubtedly played an immense role in shaping me into the total animal lover I am :) My main passion in life is caring for and spending time with *man’s best friend* <3 I am responsible, reliable, and dedicated. I am also comfortable with administering medications and assisting animals with disabilities. I am currently a part time student trying to earn a little side income doing something I truly enjoy and have a genuine passion for. I do not have any children and currently am not working, so I can devote as much time as possible for caring for your pets :) I’m available literally any time –day or night! This past year I moved to an apartment, so unfortunately am no longer able to sit or board pets in my home :( Luckily (?) I have a terrifying amount of free time lol so I’m basically available any time to take care of your fur baby(ies). I offer check-in visits, dog walking, pet sitting, as well as overnight/extended dog and house sitting.

About: What sets me apart is the level of attention, patience, and personalized care I provide to every pet. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care — I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and specific needs so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I have experience working with young pets who are still learning routines and basic training. I reinforce positive behaviors, maintain consistency with house rules, and help build good habits through patience and positive reinforcement. I’m also comfortable caring for senior pets and understand they often need a slower pace, medication management, mobility support, and extra monitoring. I pay close attention to subtle changes in behavior or appetite and communicate promptly if anything seems off. Above all, I treat every pet like they’re my own — with kindness, structure, and genuine care — while keeping owners updated for peace of mind. Morning (10–30 minutes) Feed and refresh water Quick health check (energy level, appetite, bathroom habits) Walk or play session (especially for dogs) Midday (if applicable) Short walk or litter box check Brief playtime or enrichment (toys, puzzles) Evening (20–60 minutes) Dinner feeding Longer walk or active play Grooming touch-up (brushing, wiping paws, cleaning bowls) Litter box cleaning (cats) or cage cleaning spot-check (small pets) When pets stay in my home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and structured environment. Daily Care Includes: Feeding according to the owner’s instructions (diet, portions, schedule) Fresh water available at all times Regular potty breaks or litter box maintenance Daily exercise (walks, yard time, or supervised play) Enrichment activities (toys, puzzles, affection, basic training reinforcement) Safety & Comfort: Pet-proofed space Supervised interactions with other pets (if applicable) Separate feeding areas if needed Clean bedding and sanitized bowls Medication administration if required (following written instructions) Communication: Daily updates with photos/videos Immediate communication if any concerns arise

“Thammy was the best choice, she is just perfect! for the first time we traveled with peace of mind and she took great care of our little girls!”

About: Hi! I’m someone who genuinely enjoys creating a calm, safe, and caring environment for both pets and homes while owners are away. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, communicative, and comfortable helping with everything from walks and playtime to feeding routines, medication reminders, litter box maintenance, mail collection, plant care, and overnight house-sitting. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets and home, so I always try to provide thoughtful updates, consistency, and attentive care. Outside of pet sitting, I have a background in creative/social media work and customer service, which has made me very organized and responsive. I’m currently looking to build long-term relationships with local clients and would love to help make travel or busy schedules less stressful for you, your home, and your pets! I grew up with cats (and have my own now) and learned and loved on dogs at my Grandma's house. I currently have a flexible schedule outside of my regular work hours and enjoy building pet sitting into my routine. I’m available for cat drop-ins, overnight house sitting, feeding visits, and general home check-ins depending on timing and location. I try to keep my availability updated and always communicate clearly about scheduling, visit timing, and updates while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your pets and your home. I always aim to create a calm, respectful, and safe environment while following your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I’m attentive to details, mindful of household instructions, and committed to keeping communication open through updates and photos so you can feel comfortable while away.
