Wasn't sure what to expect with my Chug being a bit of a challenge with new people. However, Olivia tackled the challenge with her expertise of pet care and Vinny had a great week. I would highly recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a drop in sitter for your pet. Thank you so much Olivia.

Mikayla L. did a good job with my 5 "babies". I got updates on my "babies" every time she was there. Oreo and Nicodemus came to her for tummy and back rubs. I appreciated her hard work. I would like to use her services again. Sincerely. Leslie M.

About: I have always been drawn to animals. Since I was a little girl, I've cared for all types of animals, except spiders and snakes!! I have trained a boxer/blue heeler, mini pinscher, poodle, and jack russells. Senior dogs have also been in my care. I also enjoy walking dogs. My daily schedule is flexible because I am caring for my disabled child, who also loves animals. I would be open to weekly and weekend availability. I am reliable, respectful, trustworthy, and professional. Safety is my 1st concern and I would care for your fur babies as though they are my own.

About: I have been working in vet med as a tech/assistant for the last 3 years. But I have always had animals my whole life that has lined me up to know how to take care of them and to point out if something is wrong with one of them. I make time for all of the babies. Their needs and wants always come before mine. As I was once told I feed and spoil them better then myself. I make sure they have all the clean water and food that they need and the vet care that’s needed to make sure they are as healthy as can be.

About: I grew up with large breed dogs quickly earning myself the nickname ‘Mikey’ after my willingness to do anything for any pet, and I’ve been training dogs of all ages and breeds ever since I was fourteen! I’ve been training dogs professionally for over three years, but I’ve done training for neighbors, family, and friends for years before that. I am a teacher in Darlington during the weekdays, and leave around 7 AM. Typically, I am not back in Florence until 4 PM, but my afternoons and weekends are always open for you and your pups! When sitting, I’ll ask for a brief timeline of your day to day with your pet so that their schedule isn’t interrupted more than it needs to be.

About: I have never lived a single year of my life without a dog. I train all of my 6 GSDs at home. My family owns a beach house in the Philippines and we needed dogs to provide security. Currently, I'm working as a nurse at MUSC, Florence SC but my dogs are all well taken cared of by the family. I'm single and living alone in my dog friendly apartment and have decided to not take in dogs but instead just help out by being a dog sitter whom people could trust and rely on with regards to care of their pets when they're away. I work only 4 times a week and is still currently adjusting to my life in the US without my dogs. I can't have dogs of my own here since i still send money for all my dogs back home. For this reason I've decided to take care of other peoples dogs :) i live alone in a pet friendly environment where dogs and pets are welcome. I need some doggy love and you can really trust me with dogs and other pets as well. Birds and cats included.

About: Throughout my life animals have always been a big passion of mine. I have owned and worked with animals of all kinds, from snakes, bears, lions, meerkats, dogs, cats, racoons, birds, lizards, fish, hamsters, and many many more. I have worked for the San Diego Zoo and Wild Animal Park along side my mother throughout my childhood as well as owning a bunny, 2 dogs, an iguana, a bird and a fish pond. As an adult I dedicated 5 years to the Charleston Animal Society Shelter as both an adoption rep and an intake rep. That was the most rewarding and difficult job I have ever had. But through all those experiences I have learned how to handle emergencies, behavior issues, and all the kisses and slobber I can handle. I currently have 4 dogs that range from a 140lb German Shepherd/Great Dane to a 8lb Chihuahua/Shih tzu who are all rescue babies and all of them are well trained and spoiled rotten! I am currently home all day but in the unlikely event that I am not here there is always someone home to love on your pup! Over the weekends and holidays we usually stay around the house and play with the puppies in the backyard or take them to get snowcone's in the summer. I have plenty of space and live in a great neighborhood that allows for long walks to the park that is right down the road or big rooms with large doggie beds to snuggle in when its cold outside. I am flexible and usually can work around whatever schedule you need! I currently live in a large house with a big front porch and a large fenced in backyard. I live less than a mile away from Timrod Park and often take walks or golf cart rides with our puppies to play at the park when its warm outside. I have a large mud room right off the kitchen with plenty of space to play around if you prefer your pet to be away from my babies. I also have two large and two small crates if your normal routine is to crate when away. I have lots and lots of soft and warm doggie beds and treats of all shapes and sizes designed for any dog, from sensitive tummies, and seniors to puppies. If you are looking for your pet to just be one of the family and lounge on the couch and sit at my feet while I make dinner or play in the many baskets of toys along side my pups I am more than happy to welcome them that way too! I am professionally trained and have a lot of experience in dog training so if you are looking for some education while you're away or on a daily or weekly basis in my home or yours I can also provide that service as well! Throughout my entire life, both my parents and my little family, always strive to provide a safe and comfortable environment as well as educating and involving our 7 year old little boy with training tips to ensure that our fur babies and our family (as well as any fur baby that wanders up on our porch) live as comfortably and loved as possible together. Any form of loving environments you prefer I can offer your loving pet! I am available daily. I am a stay at home mom and dog mom! So whatever your needs are I can work them out without any issue! I have a large house with plenty of room to play and a large fenced in backyard! We have toys and beds in every corner of the house and a large room in the back in case your pup needs space of their own!
