“Abigail was awesome! She was available for us for multiple trips we took out of town and she sent photos daily of our two kitties. The day before our 2nd trip we discovered our one cat wasn’t well and had to rush to get medication for him. Abigail administered his medication every morning and we couldn’t be more grateful! I will be reaching out next time we need a cat sitter!”
“Christina was wonderful with Presby! She goes over and above to allow Presby to sit in the screened-in porch during the visit, Christina picked up a package that was delivered at the front door and even took our recycling bin to/from the alley on pickup day, which we truly appreciate. Presby has been a contented kitty under Christina's care! We feel Christina deserves a 6-star review!”
“Amber did such a wonderful job dropping in on my cats! She maintained wonderful communication throughout the visit and sent videos of my cat’s bird watching. I will definitely be asking her to pet sit again when I need it!”
“Lexi went above and beyond while caring for Machi. It gave me such peace of mind knowing she was in such attentive, loving hands. Machi is usually full of sass and pretty particular about who she warms up to, but she really loved Lexi, and that says everything. The updates were thoughtful, detailed, and full of charm, just like Machi herself. I could tell Lexi genuinely cared and treated her like family. I’m so grateful for the love and attention she gave my girl while I was away.”
About: I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family since I was old enough to drive, and I’ve loved every minute of it! From walking and feeding to bathing and playtime, I make sure each pet feels cared for and happy while their owners are away. I treat every pet like my own and always aim to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. I work part-time, so my schedule is wide open during the week and I’m also available on weekends! Whether you need a weekday walk or weekend pet sitting, I’m flexible and happy to help whenever you need me. I treat every pet like they’re my own, and I’m always attentive to their unique needs. I understand how important your pets are, which is why I focus on their comfort, safety, and happiness while you’re away. If you're looking for someone who’ll shower your pets with love and give them plenty of attention, I’d be honored to take care of them!
“Sarah did a great job- was totally reliable, sent us daily photos of our kitty and our kitty clearly liked Sarah- she came out to greet her every day. I would absolutely ask for Sarah again!”
“Heather is amazing! She was flexible about a meet & greet & I felt super comfortable leaving town knowing my cat would be in good hands. My cat has also been having some issues peeing outside of her litter box and Heather went the extra mile to help out when she did, communicated well and gave such good updates. I would 100% recommend her to everyone and definitely hope to be booking with her again whenever I am out of town!”
“Natalie was such a great last minute sitter, truly a Godsend! She was very kind and my babygirl seemed to enjoy her company very much, I would recommend Natalie to anyone who needs a good drop in sitter. Communication and timeliness were on point 10/10 💕”
About: I have years of experience caring for dogs (and cats) of all ages and sizes—from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I’m patient, reliable, and treat every dog like family. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, meds, and giving each pet the love and care they deserve. As a student at the University of South Carolina, I have a flexible schedule that works well for pet care. I’m usually available for walks, drop-ins, and sittings in the mornings, evenings, and most weekends. I always do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow all care instructions closely and create a calm, loving environment where your pet feels secure. I have one friendly dog who enjoys the company of other pets, and I always monitor interactions to ensure everyone feels safe and happy. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every dog like my own.
“Samantha did an amazing job! She was very communicative and didn’t just scoop the litter pan and feed my boys. She played with them too and helped get the zoomies out of their systems. One of my cats is VERY shy, but by the last day he was clearly incredibly comfortable with her. Her schedule was flexible so she was able to adjust and visit them the morning I was coming home as well. She will definitely be my top pick going forward for a recurring sitter! **As a bonus, she kindly brought in my packages so they weren’t sitting out on the porch for days.”
“Jordyn was great she took the best pictures and responded promptly. She spent quality time with our pet. And gave her medicine correctly. Don’t have any doubts with booking with Jordynn she knows exactly what she’s doing ! Thank you”
“Ashley took care of our cat Cheddar while we were away from 10 days in Europe. She took care of him as if he was her own and sent us pictures every time she came over to check on him. You can tell she has a true passion for animals and we will definitely be using her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“I had an excellent experience with Taylor. Regular updates and photos were a reassuring touch, and I returned home to find my cats happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Taylor for anyone seeking a reliable and caring cat sitter.”
“Griffin maintained wonderful communication and he asked questions when he was unsure of something during a visit instead of assuming, which I personally love. He was flexible with any changes I requested due to a new work schedule! And of course, he took wonderful care of my dogs!”
“Maura was great with my two pittie rescues. I knew she'd be great as soon as I saw how my dogs responded to her, (calm and respectful)...sometimes they try to take advantage of new friends. I could tell she had it all under control and she did!”
“Morgan is the BEST! She was so prompt & took great care of our golden retriever. She was so kind & patient as Sophie can be head strong & goofy. She played, gave extra belly scratches and brushing. I would highly recommend her!!! My only concern writing this well-deserved review is that she’ll be overbooked and no openings for us & Sophie!!”
