“Faith is quite possibly the best pet sitter of all time! I forgot to leave my pets stuff out as usual and had to improvise, she is always helpful and always takes great care of my dog while I'm away”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all shapes and sizes since I was a child and I love them all! I can’t wait to meet your fluffy companions! I do currently work full time for Starbucks so due to my schedule I’m only available on weekends but I can do some week days! If you need a week day specifically you can just ask me and I can tell you if that day works! We feed our corgi twice a day and she gets plenty of play time with me and my husband. She loves playing with our cat as well and we make sure she gets spoiled and I will spoil your dogs and cats the same way I spoil her!

About: I have hands on experience with both energetic puppies and senior pets who need extra attention, gentle handling, and sometimes medication. I’m confident in managing different temperaments, following routines closely, and creating a calm, safe environment, genuine love will never miss.

House with a fenced, green and shade backyard, crate in case client wants use it, different cognitive toys, and a buddy to play with will make your pet feel love as safe and sound.

“Julia was great as a rather last-minute booking! She made room in her schedule to come by and meet us in-person. She was great with our cats and very communicative while we were gone.”
“Zoe was great! She sent me wonderful pictures of my cats and fed them and visited them- I’d definitely use her again”
About: I've lived with dogs nearly my whole life, and cats for half of it. I have taken care of said pets for years and been an in-family pet sitter on numerous occasions. My mother frequently cares for other pets through apps like this/through friends, and I assist her with that when needed. At the moment, I care for my mother's pets when she leaves town for any length of time (1 small/medium dog, 1 cat). Otherwise, I'm a free agent. Some of the services listed on the app have the potential to overlap (such as a visit and a walk), I don't consider the price to be totally compounding, just let me know and we can figure out what works best. I'd imagine this is on a situational basis. I'll pet/feed/walk them and am able to follow directions as well as any human, should your pet require specific, or unique, handling. I can usually read pet body language pretty well, but have no specific training in it. If there are any areas of confusion for me, I'll be sure to ask questions to make sure your pet is cared for properly.
About: Dog owner of a golden doodle for 15 years. I am very flexible with hours, trustworthy, very friendly, responsible and I love all dogs. I am very reasonable and I will make sure I treat and take care of each dog as best as I can. I love and care for my dog more than anything and I will make sure to treat your dog as well as I treat mine. I enjoy going on walks with my goldendoodle and even runs sometimes if she isn’t too tired. I will be very professional with every visit and I will follow any rules or guidelines that are specific to the care needs of your pet. As mentioned before, I am very flexible with any hours needed. I’m currently visiting the moncks corner/Summerville area for the area and living with my fiancé. I don’t have any other job down here, so I can stay and watch your pet as long as you need me to! I have a fenced backyard if your pups stay at my house. I will be sure to give your pets any pills/medicine they need and follow any care instructions you have for them!
About: I am an extreme animal lover with years of unique experience. I currently have a two year old Labradoodle named Bear! I have worked at a vet office for four years where I was responsible for boarding, grooming, walking, general health, and feeding for dogs, cats, and birds. I also am an experienced dog trainer that has trained six dogs. One of those dogs became certified to be a therapy dog for children! Because of the pandemic I decided to extend my services! I know that it can be nervous feeling leaving your dog or cat with someone unfamiliar with them. Please be assured that your loved ones will be well taken care of and will be given the attention and care that you expect! Thank you very much!
“Anna is fantastic! She went above and beyond taking care of our cat sushi and making sure he was well taken care of. He took a liking to her straight away. She truly has done a wonderful job. I would recommend Anna to anyone! We have definitely found our new cat sitter!”
“Very thankful she has been free to pick up my dog from daycare since we have a newborn, even for the day of requests. She has been prompt and friendly. Honestly a life saver!”
“Megan is prompt and attentive to our pup. She is reliable and trustworthy in our home, as well. Cassie loves her sitter!”
About: I am an Early Childhood Instructor at the Friendship School, during the school year (pre-k and kindergarten), so I’ve gotten used to chaos. I have spent 18 years as a loving dog owner to two beautiful Portuguese Water Dogs. I am in shape and active, so I can keep up with your pets! I have pet-sit both cats and dogs in the past. My apartment does not have a yard, but there is a patio for fresh air, access to the lawn for bathroom breaks, and the coulda sack provides a safer place to walk your pets. My living room is spacious enough for indoor playtime or rainy days. I love all animals, and I’ll treat every animal as if they were my own pet.
About: Pets have always been in my life, including during my fight with post-cancer. I'm grateful to posses a unique bond with pets that gives owners ease. I offer daily report cards for pets, pictures sent to you as well as enjoying gifting fun art doodles of their fur babies. I'm a full time tattoo artist of my own studio and create my own schedule for ultimate flexibility for clients and pet owners. I walk 3 miles a day and would love to add some dogs who love to as well. I have 2 indoor cats that were adopted as bonded sisters. Their good food grazing at young ages helps me to have a flexible schedule. I always inquire where all cleaning supplies are located incase of accidents or any health protocols they need. I have experience with giving medications to cats and dog with health needs.
About: I have been a dog enthusiast for as long as I can remember. In my early twenties I found myself dog sitting often, and began volunteering at the Connecticut Humane Society as a dog walker and trainer. My passion for animals and nature fuels my desire to pet sit and dog walk full time. I am a student whose primary income is in dog walking and pet sitting. This means I am committed to giving your pet the attention and care they deserve! I have a family of my own but their routine is flexible. *I am on campus Mondays and Wednesdays, on these days I am still happy to house sit, however, I will be unavailable from 8am to 7pm (unless the booking is closer to campus than home). Please take this into consideration when booking, I will also discuss this with my clients before scheduling a meet and greet! I am comfortable working in other peoples' homes. I love to spend time with animals in their natural environment, and find myself tidying when I'm there. I will often leave your home cleaner than I found it! It's in my nature to take care of the spaces I inhabit, and I do so with absolute respect. I take great care to protect the privacy of my clients while I nurture their pets and living space.
About: I've had family dogs my whole life- Bernese mountain dogs! They are my favorite. I have experience caring for this dogs through every stage of their lives. I also have experience pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. I work from home 2 days a week and am home most weekends! When I'm working from home, I will have plenty of flexibility to take them out during the day (my schedule isn't too strict). Other than that, I'm a homebody so your pet will have plenty of attention :) I live in a pretty large, very clean apartment that will be safe for all sized pets! There is no yard, but I have no problem taking your pet outside as often as they need or want!

Jonathan P.
“I had a 12 year old rescue Golden Retriever named Sam. I got him when he was 9. He was my best friend and he helped me survive Graduate school. However, after graduated I was gone for most of the day with my new job and I couldn’t take care of Sam like I needed to do. He had to be taken out to use the bathroom every 4 hours and given 3 different types of medications once in the morning when he ate, and at night after he ate. I was so nervous about asking someone to take care of him for me but I wasn’t ready to let Sam go. Jonathan was a savior for me. He would spend time with Sam and give him lots of needed attention. He would send me pictures of them at the park, going to get pup cups, and meeting new dogs. With his background working at a vet office he clearly understood how to handle the medication Sam needed. I truly believe that because of Jonathan I was able to have more good memories with my best friend. Hiring Jonathan Parker as a dog walker, or care taker for your loved one is a great decision.”

Erica T.
“Erica is reliable, dependable and loves animals. She assisted us when I was out for extended periods of time with an elderly dog. Totally trusted our old gal was in perfect hands. She managed her along with our 3 yo lab and 3 Maine Coon Cats. 100 percent recomend Erica to care for your pets just as you would.”
