About: "The happiest days are filled with wagging tails! Every furry guest is treated like a member of the family. Expect endless playtime, cozy snuggles, and detailed updates (including adorable photos!) throughout your pet's stay." I am self employed, work when I want and as much as I want all depending on my pups & your pups happiness & needs! I have a large home that is easily sectioned or gated, a large fenced yard and a quiet neighborhood close to the beach for walks

“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”


“Thank you so much Erin for dropping in on my pups last minute. You were very clear on your arrival expectations and you followed my care instructions perfectly. The dogs clearly were excited to see & play with you!”


“Emma saved the day! I had a last minute trip out of town come up and Emma was able to do three drop in visits with my cats. She kept me updated with pictures the whole time and even got my normally shy cat to come out for some love. I would recommend Emma in a heartbeat.”

About: I've had dogs my entire life, and love them all. From Yorkies to Great Danes, and everything in between, I've cared for pets for friends and family. I currently work a mix of mornings and afternoons at a local boarding facility. I'm available for daycare on my days off, and available for boarding any day. Your pets will be kept safe and sound at my home while I'm working. Based on your preference, they will either be crated, left loose in a spare room, or placed in a boarding style private kennel while I'm away. I have a fenced yard, with four pups of my own and rotating fosters. My house is set up to allow plenty of room for everyone without requiring the groups to mingle. For pups who aren't fans of other dogs I am able to maintain complete separation if needed. My own dogs are crate trained, and I always have a spare crate if that's what yours is comfortable with, but it isn't required.

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!

“Tessa did a fantastic job looking after my cat. She sent tons of cute pictures and asked questions when my directions weren't the most clear which I really appreciated. She spent time playing with him and left the food area very clean. Would rebook with her again!”


About: I’ve watched dogs ever since i was a kid, I’d watch my grandmas dogs for her and take them on walks every day as she got older, I’d put her senior dog in a wagon and take her around the neighborhood. I’ve watched anything from yorkies to great pyrenees, and I’ve never met one i haven’t fallen in love with. I have two dogs now who I love more than anything, and any and all dogs I get to meet always make my days. I have two of my own pups who I care for everyday, I haven’t spent much time watching other dogs in about a year but would love to get back into it. I will do whatever the pet and owner need, whether it’s a long two mile walk, just dropping by to let them out to potty, give them any meds they may need, whatever I can do to help both pup and parent!

About: I have been pet sitting since I was 16. I have taken care of neighbors, friends, and families dogs. I have been trusted to take care of multiple high energy dogs at one time, while taking care of my own dog and cat. I am currently a student at the University of New Hampshire. I am home for three months for my summer break, allowing me a flexible schedule to start pet sitting. I have taken care of pets both in my own home and in clients homes. In both situations, I make sure I am following the normal routine and instructions that the pets are used to, in order to make sure the pets are comfortable with me.

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: 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.
