House Sitting in Little Mountain

“Valarie was wonderful in watching my Furbabies. She sent pictures on several occasions to keep me updated on the furbabies and let me know when she arrived and when they all were settling into bed for the night and upon leaving. I would 100% book her again and recommend her services. Thank you Valarie!”

“I was out of town when the hurricane hit, and Chloe took the time regularly every day to keep me updated on how she and my pets were doing. Its so nice to know she was alright and that my pets were well taken care of...my neighbors and she kept in touch as well in case she needed help.. Thanks Chloe!!!”

“Kelsey was absolutely wonderful taking care of my two dogs. You can tell they enjoyed her company. She provided timely updates and pictures throughout the stay. She even went above and beyond and cleaned the house before the end of her stay. Definitely recommend Kelsey and look forward to using her services again in the future!”

“Adrian was great! My dog is so energetic and loving and when I picked her up she was so tired and happy at the same time. I would recommend her to anyone!”

About: I’ve always had pets growing up and some would say I prefer animals over people. I’ve been involved in rescue since 2004 and have seen firsthand just how cruel people can be. As a former vet tech, I promise to take care of your babies just like my own. You have nothing to worry about while you’re away. Lots of check ins, photos and love! I do work full time M-F but am available before and after work. Depending on location, a quick trip at lunch to say hi may work too. I’m totally available on weekends. while visiting your home, your kiddos will be safe with me. Whether it’s playing in a fenced yard or on leash, They will get all the exercise they need.

“She did an amazing job with our two dogs. She stayed overnight & the house looked exactly how we left it & she cleaned up dog poop. 😆 We will definitely have her watch them again when we need.”

“This was our second time using Ken. He is so great and attentive with Chewy and tolerates all of our questions about how she’s doing which is very much appreciated. He is very understanding of her anxiety and general weirdness. It is such a blessing to be able to confidently leave her in his care and not have to be concerned about a single thing.”

About: I have been taken an active role in the care of my own pets for as long as I can remember. I've done it all- bottle fed orphaned kittens, rescued possums, trained hard headed pups, and helped rescue dogs to come out of their shells. My absolute favorite dogs are the big ole babies who think they're about 3 pounds and don't realize they're "aggressive breeds". I currently care for my own bully mix named Tuck and my grandmother's constant companion, a long haired German Shepard named Rex. While I haven't owned a cat since college, I absolutely love to give scoops to my friend's babies (as long as they want to be held!) I am currently getting my dog training certification and would love to work with your babies! I own my own business, so I have a VERY flexible schedule and can schedule around most things. I can also work from client's homes safely if they need more intense house sitting! I am not currently offering home visits, but I do have a large fenced in yard and a house that is easily split so that guests and my babies are separate if needed. I am a firm believer in crates but will always follow the usual safety routine of the baby I'm caring for!

“Alexandria did a great job taking care of our puppy. She entertained her, took her for walks and kept me updated through texts and pictures. Before she left, she even cleaned up the toys our puppy usually leaves everywhere.”

Susan J.

“Haley did a great job taking care of our dogs for a week while we were out of town. She took them on several walks despite the Columbia heat in July. I could tell they were well loved from the pictures she sent while we were away. She also was very helpful with a water issue we had at the house while we were gone. Definitely would use her in the future!”

Shannon S.

“MicKayla was great — she was on time everyday, sent pictures, stayed in contact with us with any updates or questions and came home to our pets being happy in house the way we left it — highly recommend to anyone and we will be booking again with her next time”

About: Coming from a family of animal lovers, I feel that I have inherited a passion for loving God's little creatures. I have experience in pet sitting cats, dogs, and even rats. Over the years, I've had the privilege of raising a number of different animals; some of which include: an opossum, deer, squirrels, bunnies, ducklings, gerbils, hamsters, lizards, snakes, and of course, cats & dogs! Additionally, I have experience in animal rescue and rehabilitation, senior care, and administering medication. I am currently enrolled at USC and work limited hours as an in-home caregiver for a young woman with special needs. Most of my classes are online so my schedule remains very flexible! I approach every animal with the gentleness and love that they deserve. I am happy to provide for your pet in anyway that you need!

“she spent 8 night in our home with our 2 sheepadoodles. They were happy and spoiled. She's excellent, hire her.”

“Emily was so great with our dogs and our cat! She kept me updated while we were away, and sent some super cute pictures. I would definitely recommend, and will also be using Emily again in the future!”

About: **small dogs only** I am a recently retired teacher and I am willing to watch your precious pup at my home or stay at your home for an additional fee while you are away. My home is in the Irmo area, and I will watch and love your dog as I did my own morkie, Izzie who, sadly, passed away in September 2023, and our recently adopted 4-year-old Shih-Tzu Gus. We walk on leash only, have a fenced yard, a nice neighborhood to walk, and parks nearby. There will be plenty of play time, nap time, and fresh air. I understand how your pup is your baby, and I will provide the same attention and love you give. I only keep one client’s pups at a time so I can provide that undivided attention they need. My lap is ready for your pup, and belly rubs and snuggles are my specialty. Contact me to discuss pet/house sitting or arrange a meet & greet if you’d be more comfortable before booking. I am retired as of 5/31/24 and have plenty of time and love for your fur baby. I will stay in contact with you and provide pictures and video, whatever you desire. I have a fenced yard and plenty of room inside my house and my heart. I will administer meds if needed and stay in touch with you as you desire.

“Braelyn was great. Pearl was calm and at ease with her (even though there were massive thunderstorms and electricity went out one night). Communicative and helpful. Would definitely ask her to sit with Pearl again.”

“Karac was an awesome sitter. He took great care of my 2 labs. They loved him too.”
