Excellent care as usual! Frequent updates about my cat as well as photos and videos help me to feel at ease while traveling. And most importantly, I always come home to a happy, healthy and relaxed kitty. Lorraine is awesome 😊

We've been using Brenda for regular visits with our dogs, and she's been great. She's dependable, easy to communicate with, and always sends updates and photos. Our dogs are comfortable with her, and it's reassuring knowing they're well cared for when we're away. We'd definitely recommend Brenda and will continue using her services.

Montana was always there when she said and made sure the litter box was spotless and the kitties had their wet food in the mornings. They were healthy and happy when I returned.

This is the first time we have entrusted someone to watch our cats and have to say we are very pleased with the service Colleen provided. Unlike other companies, we were not charged a meet and greet fee and were able to solidify the plans within minutes of making our decision, which took away one worry regarding our upcoming trip. It was good to know Colleen had back up plans in case something went wrong and both cats took a liking to her, which made our time away much easier. We received daily updates, photos and notifications, as to the start and end of each visit, and she even agreed to water a plant for us during her visit. We will definitely be using her for future vacations. TY Colleen for your professionalism.

Raul and Sara have been walking my dog for over 1 year. They are so reliable, great communication, and I trust them very much! I can always count on them to drop in even if they weren’t scheduled with time, they usually make it happen if I am stuck at work etc. My doggie loves them and she’s always excited to see Raul 💙.

About: Living on a farm back at home has given me a strong love for animals. My main goal when I’m around animals is to make sure they are comfortable and feeling safe. Pets are here to make us happy but I want the same for them as well! 💝 I am currently a full time student at the College of Charleston and start classes around 11pm everyday. I have breaks in the afternoon between classes and am done most days around 5, if not earlier. Morning, lunch, and evening would be how I would fit pet care into my daily routine. I want the pets i care for to feel comfortable with me in their home. I don’t want them to feel like I’m taking over their safe space and their territory. I want them to have trust with me.

About: Wilbert and I have cared for animals our entire lives, from small pets like rodents and birds, dogs and cats to horses and livestock of all sizes. Our goal is always to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. We both hold bachelor’s degrees in Animal Science and have hands-on experience working in veterinary settings, which allows us to provide attentive and knowledgeable care. I provide dedicated, focused attention during each visit and treat every pet and home with respect and responsibility. I keep routines consistent and make sure pets feel secure and well cared for. When caring for pets in your home, I strictly follow house guidelines and I’m very mindful about cleanliness and organization, I make it a priority to leave the home tidy and in excellent condition after each visit. Visits are typically extended and can be scheduled multiple times per day or customized based on your pet’s needs. During visits I handle feeding, enrichment, companionship, cleanup, and well-being checks. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I schedule my days around the pets I’m caring for to make sure they receive consistent attention and timely visits. I plan my calendar carefully so I’m not overbooked and can give each household focused, reliable care. I’m available for extended daytime and evening visits and can provide multiple visits per day based on your pet’s needs. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I follow all owner instructions closely and keep routines consistent to reduce stress for pets. I remain only in authorized areas of the home and am very mindful about cleanliness and security, I make it a point to leave the home tidy and well maintained after each visit. With my Animal Science background and veterinary setting experience, I’m comfortable monitoring behavior, appetite, hydration, and general health. I take precautions with doors, gates, leashes, feeding instructions, and medication directions. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners feel confident and informed while away.

Kim was amazing. We lost track of time as first time parents and were lucky enough to book her just a few days before the holidays, for a lengthy stretch. She went above and beyond caring for our 2 cats. Always daily pictures with a note. She noticed when our anxious cat started stress licking and was able to use our diffuser to help provide some calming smells for them. She even set our trash out on the last day which was not expected. Could not recommend her more!

About: My name is Emma, and I have over a decade of experience caring for both dogs and cats, personally and professionally! I love animals, they’re such gifts, and I would love to help you with your special family member! I’ve trained dogs in both obedience and hunting professionally, as well as rescuing and adopting a cat personally, so I’m experienced caring for and loving both our canine and feline friends! I stay at home now, and would love to help you care for your furry companions! I’m currently staying at home, so while I always make sure to shower my little cat with love, I have plenty of time and flexibility throughout the workday to help care for your furry family members! This includes making sure they have plenty of playtime, long walks for our canine friends, and plenty of stimulation, as well as a clean environment (scoop litter boxes, make sure food/water are distributed appropriately, etc)! Each fur baby has different needs! I believe that owners know best, so my first step is to see what you want for your furry companion in terms of care! I love going on long walks, so happy to get plenty of exercise in with dogs, as well as letting them off leash (with explicit owner permission) within a fenced area! With our feline friends, I’m vigilant about doors, ensuring they don’t sneak out, and also love playing with them, and providing mental simulation!

Abigail was fantastic and took care of my puppy while I was away. She ensured that he went potty and was fed a snack until I got home. She’s a great rover!

About: I’ve taken care and owned all kinds of animals since I was young, from hamsters, fish & birds to cats and dogs. I have several years experience dog and cat sitting alike and currently have a cat of my own. I also have experience administering oral and topical medication if needed. No ask is too much! I work from home, so house-sitting is no problem as long as I have wifi! I’m also flexible with drop-in visits because of my job. I’ve had several cats of my own and have lived with various dog breeds/sizes. I have experience with crate trained dogs as well.
