Cat Sitting in Kiawah Island

“Ted is wonderful! With short notice, he agreed to check in on our dogs. He arrived exactly on time, sent photos and updates. He played fetch with the boys and ensured they had enough time for a potty break. We would have Ted check in our the dogs in the future if needed.”

Becky & Daniel G.

“Patti is wonderful! We needed help with our senior pup due to a last minute schedule change. Patti was quick to respond and agreed to care for Lizzie.”

Becky & Daniel G.

“Caroline was responsive and sent many updates about my dog! She was very professional and would highly recommend to look after your dog!!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for 20 years. I love playing and walking dogs especially. I can also babysit and house sit if needed. I am retired so I can take my time with each pet to make sure they are healthy and content. I know from experience this gives the owner peace of mind when they have to leave. I provide pet care in your home and neighborhood, whether it’s in the house, backyard or going for a nice long walk. It all depends on what the owners would like.

About: I have been taking care of my dog, Jack, for the past 6.5 years! Jack has epilepsy so I have experience taking care of medically complex dogs. I’m currently working from home so I will be able to give your dog the love and attention they deserve! In the past, we had a dog walker who loved on our dog just as much as us and it gave us so much peace of mind! I have a large yard in a quiet neighborhood with lots of walking trails. I am willing to watch your pup with a similar routine they keep at home to keep them relaxed and happy!

About: I’m the kind of sitter who ends up becoming your dog’s new best friend (don’t worry—you’re still #1 😄). I love getting to know each dog’s personality—whether that means burning off energy with a playful pup or taking it slow and giving extra TLC to a senior dog. I stick to their routine, give lots of attention, and make sure they feel safe and happy the whole time. Plus, you’ll get plenty of updates and cute photos so you don’t miss them too much! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I currently have a very open and flexible schedule. Since I’m not working, I’m able to give pets my full attention throughout the day—whether that’s sticking to their usual feeding times, going on walks, playing, or just providing companionship. I’m available for both daily and last-minute bookings, and I can easily adjust to each pet’s unique needs and routine. Whether a dog needs lots of activity and playtime or prefers a calmer, more relaxed environment, I’m able to be present and attentive. Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy, and having the time to focus on them means they’ll get consistent care, attention, and plenty of love while they’re with me. I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s unique routine and needs, whether I’m caring for them in my home or in a client’s home. In my home, I create a calm, safe, and comfortable environment where pets can relax and feel at ease. I stick closely to their normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest, and I make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and supervision throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible in a familiar environment. I follow all provided instructions closely—feeding schedules, medications if needed, walks, and any specific preferences. I also make sure to keep the home clean and respected while providing regular updates for peace of mind. No matter the setting, my goal is always to make pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away.

About: I've lovingly taken care of puppies and dogs continuously for more than two decades. Let me help put your mind and heart at ease like a trusted family friend. I have years of experience walking dogs, pet sitting, and training both new puppies and adult dogs with exclusively positive training techniques. I also have experience taking care of cats (kittens, adults, and senior cats) as well as senior and sick dogs. Family members, friends and co-workers have all entrusted me with care for their sweet pets, both at their homes, out on walks and adventures, and at my Johns Island home that has a 1/3 acre fenced yard. My current companions are a shy and sweet two-year-old pitty mix and an incredibly mischievous and outgoing eight-month-old pitty/staffy mix. I'm skilled in new puppy care, house/potty training, teaching basic commands, crate training, and thorough puppy socialization using (among other techniques) methods recommended by Kerry Nichols in her fabulous book, "Puppy Brain". I'm experienced in administering medications for cats and dogs that need them, as well as gentle exercise for senior dogs. I'm available for daily walks, exercise adventures to parks and beaches, and puppy/dog/ cat sitting at your home — for clients on Johns Island, Kiawah, Seabrook, and the Riverland Terrace neighborhood of James Island. In my previous professional life, I have been a nonprofit executive for twenty years, and decided to take an extended sabbatical. I'm using this time to spend more time in nature and with friends and family. I'm currently free most days (except Tuesdays through the end of May) for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the work week and on weekends. PLEASE NOTE: Unfortunately, due to an increasing number of people who request bookings and then turn into ghosts (👻), I have to start permanently blocking people who do not respond to my messages after they reach out to me. It’s an absolute epidemic, sadly. You can always let me know in your booking note that your plans aren’t fully solidified or that you are exploring your options. That’s understandable and fine—just don’t ghost! I love taking your pups for walks around the neighborhood or your local park. I also take great care (as much as possible) to stick to your pets established routine if that’s what they need. Do they usually walk early in the morning? That’s what we’ll do! Do they usually play catch or fetch in the afternoon? Let’s go! Does your cat get a treat before bed? They will get their treat. I know how stressful it can be on you and them when you can’t be there yourself.

About: I've taken care of dogs since high school and am a huge dog lover. Neighbors, family, friends have relied on me to walk, feed, and watch their dogs. I have a background in healthcare and have hands-on experience with various breeds and pet ages, which means I'm well-prepared to handle any situation with confidence. I try to tailor each pet's experience to their unique needs, ensuring their physical and emotional well-being. I also offer regular updates and photos to keep you connected with your pet while you're away. I have a flexible schedule and can adapt it to have plenty of time to walk, drop in, or sit for your pet. I always welcome and love discussing scheduling that fits your pet's needs best. I have a healthcare background, including attending medical school and working as an EMT and in the Emergency Department. I also have experience walking and caring for dogs of many sizes and ages. I can adapt my care methods to each client's and dog's needs.

“Brandi is always so reliable and when I had a last minute trip I had to plan, her and I worked within her schedule to have her complete drop in visits with my boys. I always appreciate her attention to them and my boys love having her as their sitter!”

“Tonya did an awesome job taking care of our 2 pups. She was very conscientious and followed all instructions. She was attentive (especially with one pup that had special, medical needs), took pictures and sent detailed reports. We will definitely use her again.”

Rhonda L.

“Lynn took great care of my cat! I knew she was is very good hands while I was away. I will definitely rebook Lynn again for my future pet needs!”

About: I bring the magic where ever I go, especially to visit the dogs and cats of Charleston. I love to take them on adventures to Hampton park, Magnolia Plantation, the island beaches, or around Colonial Lake. Some of my regulars include the 2 cutest Dachsunds downtown. I’m experienced with all breed and sizes! I am a local contractor so my schedule is very flexible. I can do mid day walks or drop ins as long as I don’t have a job to do! I will always take your dog on regular walks and play with younger dogs or any who have the energy. I know how to pet the grumpiest of cats without them walking away! I will give your pet a lot of attention as I know they might be missing you and want them to be relaxed as possible!

“Tara is great! I have been a Veterinary Technician for 27 years so I am extra diligent when it comes to selecting petsitters for my 2 kitties, especially because one of them requires a chronic medication. Tara checked all the boxes and more! The questions she asked during our meet & greet were spot on and my kitties came out to meet her immediately. They are usually shy with strangers but not when it came to meeting Tara, which spoke volumes for me! While I was away she sent me a report card & very cute pics everyday. I will definitely be a repeat client. Thank you so much Tara for giving me peace of mind while on vacation!”

“Allison was great! The perfect cat caretaker. Her communication was good and she clearly cared about our cats. We would definitely hire her again!”

About: Dogs have been part of our life forever, and now we share our adventures with our playful 2.5-year-old Catahoula Leopard Dog! We’re pros at beach zoomies, exploring trails at John’s Island County Park, and playing with our friends at the dog park. Your furry friend will be treated like part of the pack—playtime, snuggles, and endless tail wags guaranteed! Your dog(s) can have their own separate comfortable suite in our home or can mingle and play as much as they'd like with our pup, whichever you/they prefer! Conveniently located on your way to Kiawah/Seabrook Island, we are here to make your time away from home comfortable and convenient! We have a unique living situation where we live above the bicycle shop we own so one of us will be “home” most of the days. Our schedules aren’t consistent but if we aren’t “home” running the shop, we won’t be away from home for longer than 3 hours at a time. In our home, pets are treated like family, and every day is a new adventure! The mornings always kick off with fetch in our yard. While we’re in the process of building a fence, our yard is tucked away off the road, next to a quiet driveway leading to a storage facility—plenty of space to play safely! Our dog (and yours, if you’re comfortable) then heads to work at the bicycle shop, where she’s the official greeter and mood booster, soaking up love from coworkers (furry ones and human ones) and guests. Midday breaks are all about chasing tennis balls and soaking in extra snuggles. After work, the real fun begins! We head to John’s Island County Park’s dog park or Beachwalker Park for epic sunset zoomies on the beach. Your pup will enjoy endless playtime, love, and adventure with us—it’s a tail-wagging good time every single day! Your dog(s) can join in on all the fun with the other pups and people or can be kept separate while still being comfortable, getting lots of play, and all the love they need!
