Vet Tech Sitting Dogs, Cats & MORE!

I am a certified Veterinary Support Assistant. Most of my stays are in James Island, Downtown and West Ashley, but I am available for hire in other immediate Charleston areas. PLEASE READ THE AVAILABILITY SECTION TO THE LEFT OF YOUR SCREEN PRIOR TO BOOKING. ----------- I am familiar with most dog breeds and will drop-in for quick visits, as well as stay at your house while you're out of town. My services extend to those with cats, reptiles, birds and horses. Long-term boarding is available upon request. I come from a military family and know how hard it can be to called away from home and wondering what you're going to do with your pet. Whether you're being called away for duty or just need to get away for a vacation I will take them into my home and give them the best care and attention. I'm a friendly and caring professional that will give love to your pets as if they were my own. I would love the opportunity to take care of your fur babies. Let's schedule a meet and greet! ***PLANTS*** This application is for your pets, whom I will be taking care of. If you have a few plants that need to be watered I will happily do so. However, if you have a greenhouse, a garden, or multiple plants that need to be watered an additional $10 per day will be tacked on. I'm happy to discuss if you have any questions.

Paige was great- We had an unexpected hurt paw less than 24 hours before Paige’s stay started. Rather than cancelling vacation, Paige was flexible with learning extra medications, watching and re-dressing the bandage/dealing with an upset dog wearing a cone in addition to the original plan. Much appreciated, thank you.

Paige was a fantastic dog sitter for dog Nick! She was caring, reliable, and kept us updated the whole time. Nick was happy and relaxed when we got home—we couldn’t have asked for better care. Highly recommend!

Paige did an awesome job with Ashtray. She sent many updates to us, including amazing photos. I would certainly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to watch their fur baby!

Schedule

SCHEDULE AND IMPORTANT INFO ***PLEASE READ PRIOR TO BOOKING*** I work full time at a law office in Charleston from 8A-5P M-F. I am off on weekends, but typically gone for a few hours during the day for church or photo shoots (I'm also a photographer). I am unable to do drop-ins midafternoon. DUE TO ROVER'S FEES GOING UP TO 20% MY RATES WILL ALSO BE REFLECTING THIS. PLEASE MESSAGE ME WITH ANY CONCERNS YOU MAY HAVE. ***I do NOT watch animals that: have a fear of fireworks; separation anxiety; have not been exposed to strangers; are aggressive of any kind; have guarding issues, are not well manner (ie they jump constantly, play bite, etc); etc. PLEASE DO NOT REACH OUT IF YOUR ANIMAL HAS ANY OF THESE. I have the right to decline a stay if I feel your pet and I are not suitable for each other. I strongly encourage meet and greets prior to booking. I always want to make sure both your pets and I are comfortable and happy. Safety is my first priority. If at any point your pet's behaviors have not been fully disclosed to me at the meet and greet and behave differently (ie aggressive, defensive when coming into the home, etc) I have the right to cancel DURING the booking.

Safety, trust & environment

Should you book for a long-term boarding (ie military has called you away) you can rest assured that your dog will be treated as if they are my own. Walks will take place in the morning, in the afternoon, and at night before bed. All food and meds will be given accordingly.

A typical day

Whether it is a drop-in or overnight stay I will walk your dog around the neighborhood per your consent. When in-doors we will play fetch and other activities to keep them sharp and active.

Please be transparent if your dog has any sort of aggression prior to a meet and greet. I have unfortunately met wonderful dogs at a meet and greet but when the owners are not at home they're completely different. I cannot watch your animals if they resource guard. This has become far too common in the pet sitting community and it is dangerous for your pet and for me. Safety is my top priority!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
