“Alexis is extremely trustworthy, patient, and accommodating. One of my dogs is rather shy and not fond of strangers. After only meeting Alexis a couples times he took a liking to her. You can tell she is truly a dog lover and she has the ability to read different dogs personalities and adapt to them. We are very happy to have found her!”

About: I have grown up with dogs all my life. My first long-term dog sitting job was for 2 seniors. I have a special place in my heart for older dogs :) I am adept at handling medication and making sure every doggy has their needs taken care of, while also making sure to give them lots and lots of love! I also have a lot of experience with dogs that are nervous/ have anxiety. I have no problem giving extra special care and time so that your dogs can have a stress free experience with someone they can trust! I’m currently only working part-time, so I always have lots of time to play with your pups! My schedule does vary weekly, but I currently don’t work long hours. When caring for pets in your home, I can easily crate a dog if needed. I will always listen to instructions from pet parents, communication is key! You can feel at peace away from home knowing your fur baby’s are receiving proper care and love.

About: I have been a dog owner for many years now. Neighbors have relied on me for any pet needs, like dog walking or pet setting. I am currently available everyday, depending on the times. I have a very flexible schedule, so I would love to help those out with their pets. I currently have two very friendly dogs that love to play with other dogs. If you don’t want your pet around other dogs that would not be an issue!

About: I have experience in taking care of the smallest of critters to large beasts. I grew up on multiple acres and had the chance to take care of cats, dogs, horses, chickens, everything and anything. I am a kind soul who will do anything I can for any furry guests. I have watched dogs and cats all over the states. I watch them in my home and also don't mind being mobile if needed. I am currently working from home. I am able to take care of animals needs throughout the day or night. I am able to engage all hours of the day. I am on an .50 acre. I have a very large front yard. That includes some grass and some shell. I am a street away from the celery fields.` I am open to having animals in my house and traveling to others if needed.

About: I’ve had both cats and dogs since a young age and I have also watched my friend’s cats and dogs several times. I have a protective dog and have watched a very high energy dog so I understand each pet is different and that means they will have different needs. I love being around any and all animals! I’m currently home from college so I will be available pretty much whenever! I will most likely be hanging out with friends, helping my parents around the house, or doing another side hustle if I’m not taking care of pets. I can hang out with your pets for as long as you need and if there are any special instructions, I would be happy to follow them!

About: I've had pets my whole life and taken care of many animals. I have experience with pet care from cats to rabbits. Most of my professional pet care has been from working at a doggy daycare and boarding kennel for 3 years. Pets are my passion and their happiness means everything to me. I am currently available for walks and care most days of the week. I can also do in home care staying for up to 5 nights. I prefer to take care of your pet in the environment they're most comfortable in which would be their home. Your pets safety and comfort is the most important factor to me.

About: I grew up around many different kinds of animals, including dogs, cats, ferrets, guinea pigs, birds, fish, and horses. I have 3 years experience as a veterinary technician, and have some knowledge on caring for older pets or pets that need medication. You can count on me to treat your pet as if they’re part of my own family while you are away at work or on vacation. I’m hoping to make pet care my main focus. I am available 7 days a week. I am very flexible at the moment. Shoot me a message! :) Safety is always number one. I am very cognizant of potential issues and/or threats. I believe that screening each dog’s behavior and history is important in preventing potential issues.

About: I am retired. My husband Paul and I have two mixed terriers, brother and sister, that we rescued during Covid. Sydney is our little girl and has some Dachshund and Bo is more Irish Terrier with some Wheaton. They are 4 years old. Our pictures show some of our past, beloved pets. We have had 7 dogs prior to our sibling dogs and two miniature horses. I have a fenced backyard, a secured pool with a shallow entry and live in a quiet neighborhood with sidewalks. I can walk here or come to you. I walk every day my dogs every day for approximately two miles. We do a mix of well paced walking and significant "sniffing" time. Sniffing is good for dog cardio. We have a fenced yard and a pool with a shallow level for smaller dogs that might like to get their feet wet. Treats are well planned and on the small side. And we have toys! In your home I will abide by your instructions.

About: Hi! My name is Maria Camila, and caring for animals isn’t just something I do it’s who I am. Animals have been part of my life since I was a baby, being born into an animal loving family, I was three when I helped care for my first dog. I’ve been surrounded by animals of all kinds and have made it my mission to give every pet the love, patience, and care they deserve, so much so that I am on track to pursing a career in veterinary medicine because animals and their well being is my passion. Growing up in a military family gave me the incredible privilege of working with special operations canines, doing things like feeding them, walking them, and playing with them. This gave me hands on experience to learn a lot about taking care of our furry friends. I grew up having a really profound connection to animals and I did volunteering at animal shelters like the Humane Society, helping socialize the animals, trying to find them forever homes, walking, feeding, potty training and administering medicine they might need, like antibiotics or pills or maybe helping them recover after having major surgery. I have experience in taking care of puppies and senior pets, of all species and ages. My family and I have rehabilitated a lot of injured wildlife ( turtles and eagles and even squirrels) I have helped many puppies and kittens grow up happy and healthy. I’ve taken care of everything from lizards to chickens, to horses, and of course, a lot of dogs and cats :) Over the years, I have been a pet sitter caring for families beloved pets, I give each animal my full attention and care while their family is away. Me and the pets always had a wonderful time together, I’m always just happy to spend time with any animal. Animals seem to sense how much I care about them, I’ve been told many times that even the shyest pets warm up to me quickly. I believe that’s because animals can feel how much I genuinely love and care for them, and how I want better for them in this world, they don’t get half the love and recognition they deserve, after all pets are our bonus family members. When you trust me to care for your pet, you can be sure they’ll be treated like family with love, patience, playtime, and excellent care tailored to their needs. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or anything in between, I bring years of hands on experience and a heart full of love and kindness to every animal I meet. Im a college student, right now im on summer break so I can really do any days except Friday, I can do Friday night but just not before 3-4 pm. I pay attention to detail, I feed them, walk them make sure their needs are met, always use a leash when walking, make sure they have their water, I make sure they’re eating, I clean up after them if they go potty. I really just shower the pets with love and affection that’s if the pet is okay with that :) I just watch the pet like they’re my child making sure they seem happy and are cared after while their family is gone.

About: I LOVE animals and I’ve worked at a shelter taking care of animals of all ages! I have fostered puppies and older dogs multiple times! I am currently in school and just finished up my athletic career at College of Charleston so I now have a lot of free time! I currently live in a house with 3 other roomates who also love animals as well who would be able to help out if needed!

“Very sweet! Always on time :)”

About: I have had dogs my entire life. I had a lab for 14 years and now have a Pomeranian/shih-tzu mix. I have been watching a pitbull for about two years now who needs medication two times a day, so I have no issues with giving medications. I have no problem watching big, medium, or small dogs because I have done a mix of all sizes. I had two cats growing up and have sat cats a few times. I love animals so much and I would love to be a sitter for you! I am a full time student, living at home, so my schedule is very open. I would like a weeks notice just so I can confirm that I am available. With an open schedule, I do not mind hanging out at the house all day or overnight. I do not mind crating your pet. I do not mind taking them on walks either.

About: I was raised in a home where my mom started her pet grooming and boarding business, until it expanded to a separate building. So pets were just part of our family and daily routine! Pets bring me so much joy and love, I would love to share that with yours! I work from home, on my own time, and this is also my first year homeschooling my 2 girls! So I am very flexible and can accommodate to what ever schedule needed! I am open to what is needed! An afternoon stroll, afternoon play time, play dates, overnights, or just snuggles! Any animal time will fill my heart! My rescue cat is truly a blessing and is the kindest, most fun boy. He loves to play with balls & stuffed animals, but also loves to snuggle. I do have a screened in front porch that allows playtime in the fresh air with keeping him safe, so he loves that too (he is missing a back paw so we limit free range time outdoors to his benefit). He is part of the family and is treated like one of us!
