“Justin was great! Sent great photos while we were away and was very communicative! The dogs loved him. He left our home clean and took great care of it while we were way. 5/5 would recommend!”


“Nikkki was incredible with my crew (4 dogs and 1 cat). She was able to capably handle our reactive dog which gave me peace of mind. She sent daily pictures which were adorable and we came home to happy animals. I would highly recommend Nikki - in fact we’ve already booked her for our next trip!”

“Logan was great. She was so patient and willing to take care of my misfit crew. They can be a handful. She was willing to come out a few times to get to know the dogs before the weekend actually took place. Definitely would recommend.”


About: I've spent a lifetime around dogs, from goldens and boxers to husky mixes, so I'm comfortable with bigger breeds while still keeping a gentle, reassuring presence. Over the years, I've also cared for senior dogs with special dietary needs, high-energy working breeds, and anxious or shy pups who need a little extra patience. My approach blends calm companionship with confident handling—I'm happy to curl up for quiet couch time or head out for a long, steady walk when the weather's nice. I'm detail-oriented and quick to notice when something's off, whether it's a change of mood, appetite, or behavior. I love learning each pup's quirks and personality so I can connect with them in a way that feels familiar and safe. And while I'm not a formal trainer, I have years of hands-on experience with leash manners, basic obedience, and redirecting unwanted behavior before it becomes an issue. Above all, I treat every dog like a member of my own family—loved, respected, and cared for with the same attention I'd want for my own pets. I'm currently a freelance worker with the ability to set my own hours. If I have a visit with your dog, I'll do my best to move my work hours around that schedule, but even if I have a particularly grueling work week, I can work from my laptop while I sit in with your pup. When I'm in your home, I follow your pet's routine exactly as you've outlined it—from meal times to walk routes to favorite toys. My goal is to make their day feel as normal and comfortable as possible while you're away. I keep their space safe and tidy, make sure they have fresh water, and give them the kind of interaction that matches their mood and energy level—whether that's a gentle game of tug, a nice stroll, or just quiet company nearby. If crating is a part of the routine, I can handle that, and I'm happy to help reinforce basic leash manners along the way. I adjust my visits to suit your pet's personality, so whether you have a social butterfly or a laid-back lounger, they'll get exactly what they need to feel secure until you're home.

“Kiera is amazing! Both our dogs absolutely loved her and we enjoyed getting photos and videos of them daily. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a top notch sitter for your pets.”


“Jonathan is an excellent dog sitter. He took care of our senior dog who has several health issues. He met with us prior to caring for our dog to get to know all of us and get a good understanding of his responsibilities. He arrived early on the day he watched our dog, had detailed notes on his responsibilities, completed these responsibilities perfectly, kept in touch with us throughout the time we were gone and sent us pictures. We will definitely have Jonathan take care of our dog again. As a result we highly recommend Jonathan.”


“Michael is engaging , warm and super loving of our German Shepherd Charlie. He did a pre-visit a s right away connected and played. Michael is super responsive and provided thoughtful updates and some great pics too. We will definitely work with him again! Fantastic and trustworthy!”


About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 13 years and truly love what I do. I make sure to clean up after your pet, stick to their routines, and most importantly, give them lots of love and attention. I have references from very happy pet owners, reliable transportation, and I’m based in Rock Hill, SC. Whether it’s a quick walk or an overnight stay, your pet will be in caring, dependable hands. I work remotely, which allows me the flexibility to pet sit either in my home or yours. I’m available for daily check-ins, walks, or overnight care depending on your pet’s needs, and I can easily adjust my schedule to ensure they get plenty of love and attention. Creating a safe and calm environment is my top priority. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I always follow your instructions closely and treat your pets like family. I’m comfortable with routines, medication, and special care, and I make sure every pet feels secure, loved, and well cared for.

“Sophia is absolutely amazing! She took such great care of our pups—they were happy, relaxed, and clearly loved during her time with them. Her communication was reassuring, and we felt totally at ease knowing our pets were in her hands. As a matter of fact, I’ve already booked her two more times. That’s how much we trust and appreciate her! If you’re looking for someone dependable and thoughtful, Sophia is it. Highly recommend!”


“This was the first time Mayce watched my four babies. From the moment they met her at the meet and greet the puppies were comfortable with her. She did a wonderful job caring them and the house. I will most definitely ask her to watch them again. I highly recommend Mayce!”


About: I work part-time at a doggie daycare @ Lucky Dog Bark & Brew, where I care for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—from playful puppies to seniors, and from super social pups to those who need a little more patience and understanding. My hands-on experience has taught me how to read body language, manage group play safely, and provide individualized care for each dog’s unique personality. Whether your pup needs structured walks, calm companionship, or just someone to keep their routine steady while you’re away, I’m here to help. I work part-time at a doggie daycare evening shifts four days a week and one morning shift on the weekend, but I’m still fully able to provide quality care for your pet and fit their needs into my daily and weekly routine. Whether it’s drop-in visits, overnight stays, or in-home boarding, I plan my pet sitting schedule around my work to make sure your pet receives the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. I always allow time for feeding, walks, medication (if needed), and quality one-on-one time. If your pet has a specific routine or care needs, I’m happy to work with you to make sure everything stays consistent while you’re away. I’ll come to your home for drop-ins, walks, or overnight stays, helping maintain your pet’s normal routine in their own space. This is ideal for pets who are more relaxed at home or who need extra consistency. In my home I offer comfortable, personalized care for dogs or cats who enjoy a cozy, quiet space away from home. I have a dedicated spare room just for pet guests, where I can safely store their belongings (beds, toys, food, etc.) and give them a calm space to settle in. My home is clean, pet-friendly, and set up with all the essentials for safe and happy boarding, including cleanup supplies, food/water bowls, and pet-safe cleaning products. If your dog is crate-trained, please provide their crate so they have a familiar, secure space to relax in. I want them to feel as comfortable and at ease as possible during their stay.

“Angelena was great! Our elderly dog lost her eyesight right before we went out of town and Angelena was very kind and adaptable to the situation. We felt comfortable leaving our pets in her care.”


About: I only work a few hours each week, so I can spend plenty of time with my animals. I have received professional training to make sure I can give my fur-babies the healthiest & happiest life I can. And I would love to extend that to your fur-babies too! You can drop your fur-baby off as early as 8am and pick up until 5pm. After 5, I will be feeding them dinner and getting them ready for bed. I will only use positive encouragement and positive training methods. There will never be any yelling or swear words used for your fur-baby to hear! This is as important to me, as I hope it is for you! I have a few of my own, your fur-baby can join in on the fun & learn my routine. Your fur-baby will pick right on my routine very quickly! I will do my very best to keep your pet safe! I will love in them while they are here! Your pet will just be a part of our extended fur family

“My pet loved Aspen and Nathan!! Aspen sent me cute photos and Luna totally comfortable in their care. Made me very happy knowing he was well taken care of and would highly recommend her services.”


About: I actually am going to school to become a veterinarian currently and I have more experience in different settings than most people. . . . I am currently a college student looking for a part time job to help me get more experience for vet school and to keep me motivated. I care for your pets as if they were my own. I can do any task you need me to complete for you and your pet gracefully.

Gretchen W.
“I’m an independent dog sitter in Minnesota. I will stay at the pups home with them while their parents are away. I have high expectations of myself and deliver great care to the dogs (and other animals) I care for. When my book of clients became too much for me to manage alone in 2023 I got Gretchens’ name from her sister in law that was already in my crew. I would flip her jobs when I was unable to commit. The rest is history… Gretchen was in my crew for three years. She would respond to my outreach quickly and commit often. My clients loved Gretchen. She is trustworthy, kind, and great with animals. She will treat your fur baby like they are her own. When she said she was moving East, I was crushed! You will not regret giving Gretchen a chance. She will impress you both by her genuine spirit but also her Midwest values. I wish her the very best!!!”

Quaniqua W.
“While me and my husband were out of the country for two weeks, Quinn took such good care of our two beloved kitties, and we couldn’t be more grateful. We came home to happy, relaxed cats and everything in perfect order. She kept us updated regularly with sweet photos and little notes, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that she treated our pets like her own, and that really helped me stay less stressed on our vacation as it was our first time being away from my babies that long. We’d be happy to have her watch our cats again any time!”
