Carolina was amazing! She took great care of our dogs while we were away and gave us complete peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely cares, and our dogs were in great hands. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone and would love to book with her again in the future.

Randee was the best sitter we could have asked for! She provided the most detailed updates with great photos of buddy playing, eating and being spoiled with new toys! We always feel anxious leaving buddy alone but we felt much better knowing he was getting a whole lot of love and attention from Randee and her daughter. We will definitely be using randee for all future bookings ❤️?

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.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my household for as long as I can remember. Friends and family have trusted me to check in on and care for the pets for years now and I always love getting to know the inside personalities of your furry friends! I’m currently living with my parents while I’m on break from college and working a few odd jobs here and there to make extra money, so I have a very adjustable schedule that allows for plenty of time to care for your pets! I have a fenced in back yard and a pretty spacious house. I do have a dog who loves other dogs so they can certainly play together if applicable. My two cats would largely just ignore/avoid animals they aren’t familiar with. In your home I can adjust to whatever your pet’s individual needs are.

About: What sets me apart is the level of love, patience, and personal attention I give every dog in my care. I treat each pet like family, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I focus on creating a calm and positive experience tailored specifically to them. I just graduated from college so my flexible schedule allows me to accommodate walks, feeding schedules, playtime, potty breaks, and personalized care throughout the week, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. Whether caring for energetic puppies or senior dogs needing extra patience and comfort, I adapt to each pet’s unique needs and routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I keep their normal routine consistent by following feeding instructions, providing fresh water, regular potty breaks, exercise, and companionship so they feel safe and comfortable. I'll closely monitor each pet’s needs and behavior, including special care for puppies, senior pets, or those needing medication.

About: I’m always a go to, I’m flexible and do what’s needed for the family and the dog. I’m genuine and will help whenever you need. I have a dog myself so I take care of him everyday. He eats and goes out on time, and then he just relaxes ! I will make sure everything is put back in the right place, clean up after myself and the dogs. I treat it like it’s mine.

About: Hi, I’m Sam! I live in NE Columbia near Sandhills, and caring for dogs isn’t just something I do—it’s truly part of who I am. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities, from tiny puppies to giant seniors. I’m also the South Carolina Manager for Daisy Bean Rescue, where I’ve helped countless dogs find their forever homes. That means your pup will always be in the hands of someone who knows how to keep them safe, happy, and loved. I work from home and my schedule is pretty flexible and your dog would almost never be unattended. I can take frequent breaks to make sure your dog is well looked after and not alone. I want to care for your pet just exactly the way you would if you were available. I strictly follow all care instructions and make them as comfy as possible until you return.

Sarah was stellar while I was away on vacation! She provided detailed and thorough reviews on how the cats were doing while I was away and I greatly appreciated everything she was able to do while I was away. I loved the pictures too! Even the tortie in the house seemed to come around to her. I would definitely book with Sarah again for the drop ins I’ll need. Thank you again, Sarah!
