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.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up in a home full of pets and have always been surrounded by animals. We currently have 3 large dogs, rats, guinea pigs, a hamster, a crested gecko, and parrots, so I’m experienced with a wide variety of animals and personalities. I work in the school district, which gives me a very flexible schedule and lots of availability during the summer months. I truly love caring for animals and making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. One of my biggest dreams is to eventually open a senior dog sanctuary because senior dogs hold such a special place in my heart! I currently work full time in the school district and have summers off. During the summer I am available at any time. :) During the school year weekends are best, but I can do afternoon & evening visits. I will follow any instructions you have for your fur babies. I understand all pets have different needs and wants. Any communication about needs or wants for your baby will be taken care of.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 9 years old and have experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I had a Labrador Retriever and Weimaraner mix who was absolutely precious. She passed away on April 3, 2026, which was very difficult, but caring for her taught me a lot about responsibility, patience, and the importance of providing dogs with love and attention. I currently have a Boxer, a Cocker Spaniel, and a Chihuahua, so I’m comfortable handling both large and small breeds. Through caring for my own dogs and helping family members and friends with theirs, I’ve gained experience with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic grooming, administering medications when needed, and making sure dogs feel safe and comfortable in their environment. I’m familiar with different energy levels and temperaments, from active, playful dogs who need plenty of exercise to older or more relaxed dogs who prefer a calmer routine. Family and friends know they can rely on me to provide dependable and attentive care for their pets. I always make sure every dog is happy, well-fed, exercised, and given plenty of love and attention while their owners are away. My goal is to treat every dog as if they were my own and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times. I currently work part time and attend college classes, so I understand the importance of being organized and responsible with my time. My classes are on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and I typically work Friday evenings. My work schedule is posted about a week and a half in advance, which allows me to communicate my availability clearly and plan ahead for pet care. Outside of those commitments, I have a flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home. I am committed to providing reliable care, regular updates, and plenty of attention to every pet. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic medications, or simply keeping a dog company, I make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away. I have a securely fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, explore, and get plenty of exercise. I also have three friendly dogs who are well socialized and enjoy meeting new canine friends. I always supervise introductions and interactions to make sure every dog feels comfortable and safe. For dogs that are crate trained or need their own space, I have both a small crate and a large crate available. I understand that every dog has different needs and routines, and I do my best to accommodate them. Whether your dog loves to play, relax, or stick to a specific schedule, I’ll make sure they receive the care, attention, and comfort they deserve while you’re away.

“Somiya was very proactive and reached out to meet my dog beforehand so that she would know how to best take care of her. I also loved the follow up pictures and notes on how my doggie behaved. I definitely recommend Somiya if you are looking for someone to go above and beyond for your pets needs!”

About: I've grown up taking care of cats and dogs. My professional pet sitting experience includes small and large dog breeds, as well as cats. I have a background in animal science and care so I am the ideal sitter for pets with high medical needs and elderly pets. I am willingly to take dogs on long walks or runs, and take them to the park. I am not certified, but I can do basic training (sit, stay, etc) and leash training. I currently work from home, so I am available at home 24/7. Great for pets that are potty training or need multiple play times a day. I abide with the rules and schedule of the owner. Not required, but I encourage a meet and greet for first time clients for care instructions and to ask any questions.

“Samantha has been amazing so far. She has been very communicative and sends plenty of pictures of our dog during their outings. Always on time and doesn’t leave a trace after she drops him off other than adding water to his bowl which we appreciate. She does a great job of checking for accidents and other things that may be out of place during the visit and reports back if anything is found. We definitely plan to continue using her services for as long as she allows us.”

About: I have grown up with and taken care of dogs my entire life. I also volunteered at the Kershaw County Humane Society. I love spending time with our furry friends and bringing joy to their day-to-day life! I am currently home for the summer after wrapping up my freshman year of college, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I typically have social events Thursday and Friday evenings, and my Saturdays and Sundays are relatively free (all other days of the week are open). I would take care of your dog(s) based on your instructions. Some might want longer walks while others might need shorter ones. It all depends on the individual. I'd love to get to know your furry family member!

“One of my dogs can be super skittish but she took to Kelly right away! I highly recommend her for walks if you're unable to take your dogs yourself! She's great!”

About: I have loved animals my whole life and began pet sitting as soon as I was old enough to drive. My first job was at an animal shelter so I have experience with dogs of all sizes. Through pet sitting I have cared for rabbits, dogs, cats, lizards, fish, horses, and turtles. I am a dog mom to my sweet Violet and have previously adopted two cats. I cannot wait to love your animals as if they were my own! I am currently unemployed since recently moving here so I am available all days of the week. Just send me a message to confirm my availability! I sadly cannot pet sit at my own home due to my dog having severe anxiety around other animals but I would love to do pop ins, overnight watch, or simply walk your pets. Whatever your pet needs are, I will do my very best to meet them!

“Carolyn was a huge help to me today! I had a full day of work and kids activity and no time to walk my dog, and she was able to help me out of the jam and get my dog the exercise he needed on super short notice. She took great care of him!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and currently have 7 pets of my own, including dogs, cats, and small animals. I’ve cared for a wide range of pets—dogs, cats, guinea pigs, fish, birds, and even reptiles and ferrets. I’ve worked at a pet store and volunteered at dog, cat, and rabbit shelters, giving me experience with pets of all temperaments, ages, and care needs. Whether it’s playtime, basic training, senior care, or administering meds, I’ve done it and I treat every pet like family. I’m a college student home for the summer, giving me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets! Depending on the week, I’m available most times. I make it a priority to be fully present and attentive during my visits—whether that means playtime, check-ins, walks, or just giving your pet some extra love and cuddles. Your pet's comfort and routine are my top priority while you're away. In a client’s home, I always aim to keep pets comfortable by following their routine closely—feeding schedules, walk times, play habits, and any special instructions. I make sure they feel safe, loved, and not alone, whether I’m staying overnight or just dropping in. I clean up after them, keep their space tidy, and give lots of attention and affection. During walks, I focus on safety, stimulation, and making it fun for your pet! My goal is always to make your absence feel as stress-free as possible—for both you and your pet.

“Aaron has taken care of my dogs multiple times, and saying he is amazing would be an understatement. He is extremely professional and friendly. 10/10”

I have experience in a spectrum of pet care from puppies to seniors and special needs. I look forward to caring for you and your loved pets. I am a recent veteran after serving 13 years of Active Duty Air Force, I am grateful and excited to have the newfound availability to care for my community and their fur babies. You and your pets will have peace of mind knowing I take pride in respecting your space and family as my own. All routines, boundaries, and rules will be followed as if you were home.

“Took great care of my pups, and took great pics!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a teenager and have experience with a wide variety of breeds and personalities. Currently, I have a 4-year-old German Shepherd/Lab mix and a 4-month-old Jack Russell Terrier. Over the years, I’ve owned and cared for German Shepherds, Beagles, Pit Bulls, Jack Russells, Labradors, and Schnauzers, and at one point had as many as six dogs. I’ve also owned a cat and have experience caring for cats as well. Friends frequently trust me to pet sit for them, and I genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, playful, or needs a little extra patience, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I also am a Volunteer Dog walker and caregiver at Columbia Animal Shelter. I have a very flexible schedule and am committed to providing reliable, attentive care while you’re away. I’m currently in the army and work 2-3 days a week.my husband stays at home full time. I have a very flexible schedule. I care for every pet as if they were my own. In my client’s home, I follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of attention and affection. I know how important consistency is for pets, especially when their owners are away. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and supervised environment with regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, fresh water, and lots of love. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs, personality, and comfort level to help them feel secure and happy.

“Briyah did so well with my doggies. I would highly recommend her!”
