Happy to care for your pets!
Pet care experience
Every good dog owner wants the best for their favorite friends. I've lived my entire life owning dogs, and I know how much care and loving attention they need to stay happy and healthy. I have years of experience taking care of my dogs; walking, feeding, playing, grooming, and training, and taking care of my friend's dogs as well. I've worked with dogs of many different breeds from tiny Dachshunds, extremely energetic French Brittanies, to big, fat Labs. I've also had plenty of experience with puppies, elderly dogs, and rescues that require special attention. I know how administer daily medications or supplements, and I know what foods are toxic for dogs to eat. I'm also good at reading their body language and I can tell if they're sad, angry, happy, or even plotting mischief! Dogs are truly one of greatest joys in life and I know they're one of yours too! I guarantee the best possible care for your pet for a reasonable price. I'm currently unemployed and available any day of the week from 6am-10pm, and I can make myself available for overnight stays of course.
Reviews
Harriet was fantastic and Ginger loved staying with her!
Harriet was an absolutely fantastic dog sitter! I had never used a service like this before, and was a little wary of leaving my pup, Koda, with a stranger. My experience with Harriet was more than I could have hoped for. She responded very quickly to my inquiry and was proactive about providing me with more information. Additionally, she texted me a lot of photos throughout the weekend which helped assure me that Koda was having a great time! She has a perfect home for hosting dogs, and Koda definitely appreciated her active lifestyle. Harriet even took her on a few hikes! When I picked up my dog, she looked very content and comfortable. I will certainly be contacting Harriet if I need a dog sitter in the future!
Ziggy had an awesome stay! Thanks Harriet!
Harriet is a fantastic dog parent herself, and an animal lover through and through. She is passionate and responsible and I would trust her with my dogs in a heartbeat.

Information Harriet R. would like to know about your pet
I don't discriminate against breeds, I really do love all dogs (even the difficult ones!), but my favorites are Golden Retrievers, Huskies/Malamutes, German Shepard's, Chihuahuas, and Yorkies. I also have a huge soft spot for rescues!
A typical day
I love taking my own dogs to walk by the Congaree river in downtown Columbia, and if they like swimming I know plenty of great spots! I also have access to some private rural close to town where my dogs enjoy running free until they nearly collapse, and swimming in the pond (I always use a tic collar and check for them after). I consider myself to be a fantastic frisbee thrower (or ball, whatever the preference might be), and I also enjoy running if your dog needs a more intense workout. I also genuinely enjoy grooming dogs, there's nothing better than coming home to a freshly bathed pup!
