About: I have had animals all of my life. I have been personally responsible for the care of my pets since I was seven years old. I was always raised to treat my pets like family, and I do the same with all animals I interact with. I regularly pet sit for my friends and family, and have been doing so since I was a teenager. I have experience with cats, dogs, lizards, snakes, birds, frogs, and most rodents. I am a stay at home wife and mother, so I have a lot of free time in my day. My children are young, so I cannot have animals in my home that don’t get along well with children. I have three friendly, well trained dogs to get along with each other greatly. They’ve gotten along with any other dogs that have been under my care. They are also great with my small children. My dogs get fed twice a day, they get walked on demand, and they are allowed to sleep where they please. When they were puppies, they did sleep in a crate in my room. But as they were trained, they were allowed to use the crate as they please. My dogs are very spoiled, they get plenty of treats, they have lots of toys, they have their own beds, and their own blankets.

About: My name is Brenda. I’m a dog owner to two small beautiful rescues of 10 years. I’ve been taking care of neighbors, friends and family’s pets since I was 10 and have over 45 years of fur-baby experience. I am semi retired and work from home. I spend a lot of time outside, so your pet will get plenty of exercise and outdoor time. I look forward to welcoming and caring for your pet. I work from home part-time so your pup will get plenty of love, exercise, attention and care. Our neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful and we frequently go for long walks with our babies. I have a large enclosed back yard that your pet will enjoy. We also have a deck with an enclosed porch for plenty of shade.

“Hannah is wonderful. She is responsive and knowledgeable, and went above and beyond in taking care of my pets. It's wonderful knowing my animals are safe and content while I'm away. I will definitely reach out to her next time we need a sitter. Thank you, Hannah!”


“Jen was amazing. She did several drop ins while we were away. She played with the dogs, sent updates and photos. And she made sure to come by before our trip to meet the dogs in advance. Our female is very protective and aggressive to “intruders” but Jen worked with us to figure out the right way to handle her when entering the house so all went great while were gone. Highly recommend Jen!”


“Madison, you were incredible! Thank you so much for taking care of our 3 doggies like they were your own. We came home to your fantastic note and picture as well as pups that were very happy. I definitely will be reaching out again soon to schedule another drop in. Thanks again! -Lori & Brandon”



About: I’ve worked as an animal caretaker and veterinary assistant for the Humane Society of Greenwood in SC. I’ve also worked as an animal care technician for Symrise/Diana Pet Food in Hodges, SC. While there I trained dogs, cleaned and disinfected kennels, and fed dogs and cats. I work with and can accommodate all breeds and sizes. I’m also comfortable caring for exotic pets. I have 2 leopard geckos and 2 hermit crabs. I’m comfortable giving medications, bathing and light grooming both dogs and cats. I’ve been trained in animal diseases and how to control them. I also know the proper disinfecting protocols for equipment, kennels, cages, etc. If you need a dog walker or sitter, I’m reliable and flexible. I love to work with animals. It’s my passion. I currently work as as animal care taker. However, my schedule is flexible enough to meet your needs. I have plenty of room in my home. So, I can keep your pet separated from my kids if needed. I can easily crate or separate my pets from yours if needed or requested. My dogs have an outside kennel and building that they can stay I. While your pets are boarding with me. I do have 2 cats inside, but they can also be contained into a room by themselves.

About: I’m the type of person that if I see someone handing out free puppies or if I see a lost dog, I’ll be taking them home. I’ve always had such empathy for animals, that on multiple occasions I have done this. For example, last year there was a man handing out free puppies outside of a petco. I almost immediately took him home. The feeling of taking him and giving him a bath, food, and water was so rewarding. I’ve since realized I love working with animals and wish to continue my work. I would absolutely love to help you out with watching your pet while you’re away. I’m currently a college student. I only have classes on Mondays and Wednesday’s, but anytime after class I’ll be able to dedicate my time to your pet. In my home, I have one dog of my own, and I have a fenced in yard. My dog loves to swim, so if yours does too I’m happy to watch them while they swim. I’ve had a lot of experience with crates so I’m equipped to handle them. No matter what, I just want your pet to be safe and comfortable while you’re away!
