“We always have complete peace of mind leaving our dogs in their care. They treat our pups like family and provide great updates and pictures while we’re away. Their communication, reliability, and genuine love for animals make them the best dog sitters we could ask for. Highly recommend!”
About: I have had dogs and cats since I was little allowing me to care for different pets at all ages. I have had Dachshunds and a Mini Australian Shepherd giving me the chance to learn how to best care for dogs of different temperaments. I love and am able to cater to pets of all ages and their needs!! I am attending MUSC for SLP school so I am only able to help pet parents Downtown unless able to drop off at my house. I am available around my class and work schedule during the week. I do not have an exact schedule yet but will try my best to be flexible! I will give your pets lots of attention and love. I know it’s hard for pets when they anre away from home so I will try to stick to their usual schedule as much as possible. I will treat them like they are my own pets!!
“Chloe was a wonderful sitter! She was able to watch my dog, Kona, on short notice after my original pet sitter canceled, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She sent plenty of updates, photos, and videos throughout Kona’s stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. She even took Kona and her own dog to the county park one morning! I would definitely recommend Chloe to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter :)”
“Stephen & Jessica take such good care of Grace. She’s always excited to go see them & the boys Nubes & Oakley. They even had a birthday party for her !”
“Amber did an amazing job watching my dog Reese’s. So much so that my dog is bored now at my house. Reese’s got to hang out with ambers dogs, go on tons of walks, and visit the park. Amber also sends a “report card” of sorts with info about bathroom breaks, meals eaten, and photos from the day. Overall, amazing caretaker!”
“Jamie is an absolute gem, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. My 8-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer, Gracie, has IVDD following a spinal injury that left her temporarily paralyzed last year. Boarding Gracie for the first time since her accident was nerve-wracking, but Jamie’s attentiveness and care made it easy to leave Gracie without a worry. From the start, Jamie went above and beyond. She did a meet-and-greet beforehand, asked thoughtful questions, and followed every single one of Gracie’s care instructions to the letter: no running, no stairs, no rough play. She even let Gracie burrow under the blanket, which is a complete non-negotiable for my cuddly dog. The communication was outstanding throughout. Consistent updates and photos gave me real peace of mind while I was away. If you have a senior dog, a dog with IVDD, or any pet with mobility restrictions or special needs, stop scrolling. Jamie is your person. Beyond following instructions, she genuinely loves your dog. Would gladly book again! Five stars.”
“My boy is almost 12 and I have never left him with a stranger. I was new to the process and didn't have any idea of what was going on and I wasn't very keen on the idea of having to leave him with a stranger. Fortunately, Kristin was very responsive and kind about the whole thing, which was very reassuring. I got picture updates daily and even videos. The neighborhood was very nice, her home was clean and organized, she had a fenced in yard, twin boys which I am sure my dog loved to be around, and the a sweet weiner dog. My dog has specific feeding and meds, which she accommodated. I didn't want him to be alone when I was gone and picking Kristin was perfect.”
“Richard was great, Winnie got lots of great playtime and came back happy and exhausted from her weekend away! Lots of great picture updates from the park too! Highly recommend!”
About: I grew up with 2 dogs in the house and got my fur baby 11 years ago. I’ve been taking care of my own and helping other for over 10 years. Love being outside and letting our four legged family members get their much needed play time! Stay at home mom with a flexible schedule to help with walks/potty breaks during the day. Available most weekends to help sit and possible weekdays depending on how long of a stay is needed. I have an 11 year old Shepard mix who loves the company of another fur friend. I also have a medium size dog crate if needed.
About: As a lifelong dog lover and experienced foster dog mom, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members! I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities, including rescue dogs who need extra patience and reassurance while adjusting to new environments. Through fostering, I’ve gained experience with crate training, establishing routines, leash walking, enrichment activities, administering basic care, and helping dogs build confidence. I’m also a proud dog mom to Lola, my 10-year-old Maltese/Cocker Spaniel mix, who has taught me the importance of understanding each dog’s unique personality and needs. My experience as a pediatric physical therapist has strengthened my patience, attention to detail, communication skills, and ability to provide compassionate, individualized care. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing on the couch, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I also understand how reassuring it is to receive updates, so I’m happy to share pictures and messages throughout their stay! My goal is to treat every dog like family and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands. ❤️🐾 I currently work full time Monday through Thursday but I am available Thursday evenings through Sunday nights. I am available during holidays. Please contact me for special requests. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I provide a clean, comfortable, and loving home where pets can feel safe and relaxed. I have a fenced in yard. I always supervise outdoor time and make sure dogs are secure when entering or leaving the house. Safety is especially important during walks. I always use secure leashes and properly fitted collars or harnesses, stay aware of my surroundings, and avoid busy roads or potentially unsafe situations. I never allow dogs off-leash in unsecured areas and tailor walks to each dog’s age, energy level, and physical abilities.
“Allison is fantastic! She cared for our 4 month old puppy and was so attentive a patient. She even worked with her on basic training and when we came home I noticed a huge difference in Chloes’s obedience. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“We could not be more pleased with our recent experience with Cheryl. We were anxious about leaving our recent rescue Maci while out of town over the Thanksgiving holiday because we didn't want her to feel "abandoned". Cheryl was so patient and understanding of our concern and sent us photos and kept us updated several times a day so it was easy to see Maci was in excellent hands. Cheryl's entire family, two legged and four legged, all welcomed Maci into their home and we know she felt loved and cared for. We will definitely ask Cheryl to keep Maci again.”
“Chris & Molly were absolutely great with my dog, Muffin! When we picked her up at the end of her stay, we could tell that she was very well taken care of. Will definitely have them babysit our Muffin again!”
“We had such a great experience with Kali watching our little corgi pup! I could tell she was having such a good time with all the photos Kali sent. We will definitely be going to Kali in the future to watch our girl!”
About: Hi! My name is Casey and I have been a pet owner my whole life. Growing up my parents fostered dogs in addition to our two family dogs. We looked after dogs of all breeds, ages and abilities and found them life long homes. I currently have an American Bulldog Mix named Rocky and he is my world. He is very spoiled and is allowed in all areas of our home. Rocky loves other dogs. For boarding I will only be able to accept dogs as Rocky is not great with cats but I am happy to do drop in visits with your cats! I am active and run 3 times a week and am looking forward to walking, running or relaxing with your dog. I will alway treat your furry friend like the prince or princess they are! I currently work an office job during the week so am out of the home from 9-5pm, but I can stop home on my lunch break if needed! We have a dog park in our community that we can take the dogs to. We also live on James Island where there are plenty of walking paths to take the dogs to! We have a two bedroom apartment so your dog can have space from my dog if needed. We would also love to take the pup to the beach if they like that!
“Gracen and her husband did a fantastic job watching our dog for the weekend. He must have been very active all weekend because he slept for an entire day after we got home! Gracen was very responsive and extremely kind and helpful. We absolutely will be booking with them again!”

We were visiting Charleston and needed to board our Dog for 2024 hours. Anna turned out to be a wonderful dog sitter. She kept in contact with us and sent photos. Her house is well suited for boarding and she is close to a park for dog walking. If we ever return to Charleston, she will be my choice.
Lynn was great as this is my first time ever having to use a stranger for my 16 year old dog. She sent pictures to show me how he was doing and kept me updated. Would definitely recommend Lynn for all your pet sitting needs. Also, her dog Atticus is a sweetheart.
She's amazing. First pet sit away from home for my pup and she had crazy anxiety issues. Robin jumped right in and was very sweet and patient. The next day, Jasper was more like her normal self. Tons of pictures and updates throughout the 2 days. We will definitely be using her on a more normal basis moving forward if she'll have her back. Thanks Robin.
Amber was fantastic with our Cali. This was the first time Cali had stayed with someone other than extended family. The continued communication from Amber let us know Cali was doing great. She came home happy, healthy and clearly enjoyed her time away. We will definitely ask Amber to keep Cali in the future.
Rachel is the absolute best! She watched our border collie, Izzi, or 10 days. It was hard to be away from our girl for that long. but we felt like Izzi was very well cared for the entire time. Her home is clean and organized and her sweet dog Ava and Izzi became fast friends. During the heat Rachel made homage popsicles and brought out the kiddie pool… always going the extra mile. Very highly recommended.
Cameron was once again great with Charlotte! When we had a last-minute flight change and needed to drop Charlotte earlier than planned the next morning, Cameron responded immediately, despite it being late at night. We really appreciate how responsive and accommodating he is. Thanks, Cameron!
Cynthia was awesome! Sent pics and spoiled my little “baby” with the comfort she requires!! The family member that I had to go pick her up said that my little dog was sad to go home. Haha! Thank you for taking good care of her! We will definitely be using Cynthia again!!
Marie is without a doubt, the best sitter I have had the pleasure of scheduling. Right from the beginning, she was friendly and a wonderful communicator. During my pups stay she kept me informed and sent plenty of pictures throughout. I know my pup was well cared for and cannot recommend her enough.
