About: Hi! My name is Fatin, I have over 10 years of hands on experience caring for animals, pet sitting and dog walking has become more than just a service I offer it’s something I truly love. What started as helping out friends, family, and neighbors with their pets has grown into me wanting to try to make this a full time thing! Throughout the years, I’ve looked after a wide variety of animals—dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and more. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or just spending quality time while their owners are away, I make it a priority to treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand that every animal has its own personality, preferences, and routines, and I take the time to learn what makes each one feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m so excited to meet your sweet fur baby’s, feel free to message me about any questions or concerns :) My schedule is super open as I’m a SAHM, my husband works out of town so I have lots of time in my day to pamper and play with your pups! I’m available all days and nights, and am willing to work with any schedule, I can also pick up/drop off if needed. I have a pretty open floor plan, so no worries about your pup being crammed up in the house plenty of space to run, as well as a large grassy area behind our house. There is also a fenced in dog park in my neighborhood if your pup prefers off leash time! My house is a very calm environment, we love our daily walks and baking time, if allowed your pup will probably come home with a baked doggy treat!

“Arthur is the best!! Very dependable, experienced, and communicative. He sends you pictures of EVERYTHING: action shots of playing fetch, feeding the pups treats, the water bowl, even potty pictures haha. We had a bit of a complicated case because our two dogs needed to be kept separate due to behavioral issues. Arthur took our detailed instructions seriously and went above and beyond what we asked. The dogs absolutely love him and we will certainly book again!”


“This was the first time I had ever used this app before and was extremely nervous. Sarah was very helpful and very sweet and in the pictures, my babies look happy! I will def be using her again and appreciate all of her help!”


About: I have taken care of all types of dogs, large and small, calm or energetic. Count on me if you need someone to take your furry friend on a long walk. I currently have flexibility both during the weekdays and on the weekends to take care of pets from the early morning till late evening. I’m open to housesitting as well. I will take your dog for walks or take them to the dog park if desired. Happy to give them some playtime or practice training with them.

About: I have one dog if my own and two family dogs that I help to take care of. I have been helping neighbors and family take care of their pets for 17 years and I have had my on dog for 8. My dog is my baby, so I understand how much you love your pets. I can’t wait to take care of your fur babies! I am working full time but have full availability on the weekends to take care of your animals! I am willing to walk at night beginning at 6 during the week to help with bathroom breaks before bed time. I have experience crating dogs and have been through training with my own dog. I am comfortable controlling your dog on walks to ensure they are safe and happy.

About: 🌈🐾 Biscuit crossed the rainbow bridge on 7/29/25. I am taking some time to grieve and not accepting new pet clients at this time. If you are a returning client - please reach out! I am still doing those bookings. I have blocked my calendar, but please reach out if there are dates you are interested in. When I was 12, I put a PowerPoint presentation together to convince my parents I needed a dog - and for that I had my childhood dog Biscuit, who lived to be 18! We have watched our friends' goldendoodle puppy at 3 months (the energy!), 4 year old golden retriever for a month (more energy!), and 2 year old Beagle - one time all at once. From any age and size, my husband and I are huge dog lovers. We recently moved to the area and both work from home so we have all the time to give the love and care your pets need! We are accustomed to all dog needs from medications, walks, or mental stimulation! We have a large sun-facing fenced in yard. No steps required for your pups creating a safer environment. If the weather is nice, we keep our back door open so the dogs can go in and out as they please. I work right next to the door to keep an eye on them. For our dog Biscuit we were feeding her breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I made her a custom meal that fit her diet. She also required 3 pills a day. My husband and I understand dog care and how important it is to follow the owners instructions - you know your dog best from energy levels, stomach concerns, or potty routines! We would often take breaks from work with our dog to hold her and give her the love she wants.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. From growing up with my own, to watching furry friends while family friends were away or at work, I have many years of experience. I am a dog lover and will make sure your pup has the best care possible! I am currently working, however I only work three days out of the week and have plenty of time to help out with your furry friends! I have a reliable car to take to your place and am more than happy to take your pups anywhere you are comfortable with to walk!

About: Not only did I grow up in a home filled with pets of all kinds and sizes, I have raised and trained my own dogs and cats. I am very comfortable with all breeds and sizes! I work a typical 8 to 5 job with an hour lunch break plus evenings and weekends free. I love to spend my extra time with furry faces and cuddles. I'm naturally attentive and can work with all behaviors. I'm able to administer medicine and follow house rules. I also love to take photos/videos and send updates throughout the whole visit with pet parents approval.


About: I have had pets all my life. I’m very active and run most days. I like to stay busy, am very nurturing, calm, and kind. I’m not going to crate your pet and be gone all day. I have exceptional character and am a baby boomer with a strong work ethic. I’m fine with cameras watching my every move! Most of all, I genuinely care for all living things and pets love me. So do people! Most that hire me are repeat customers. If your dog is sick or needs a vet visit, happy to help! I’m retired from a successful sales career in Human Pharmaceuticals for a Fortune 500 company. Love to stay busy and active. Please reach out and let me help you in our very fast and multi faceted world! Large safe fenced yard at my residence! I have a 2 year old female lab that loves dogs, cats, kids, people. She loves everyone. My precious Pearl. Experience in Dog Rescue Centers! I’m working full time until 12/31/24. I will then be taking 4/5 months off! I may return to work part time. It will depend on our economy which has been awful. It’s sending many of us seniors back to work. I need to know about your dogs temperament. Do they pace with anxiety? Are they food aggressive. Do they calm down at a strangers home?

About: As a dog sitter, I’m going to go to extra mile and make sure that your dog is my number one priority. Dog safety is also another big aspect in my line of work. I’m currently a nursing aid at roper hospital, so I’m free throughout the day and throughout the night. I’ll have a lot of time to spend with the dogs throughout the day. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment, making sure they have fresh water, proper nutrition, daily exercise, and plenty of love and attention. I create a cozy resting space and keep them engaged with play and mental stimulation, while also monitoring their health and behavior. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines to help the pet feel secure.

About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 8 years, including my own who has chronic pancreatitis. I’m comfortable with special diets, medication, and senior dog care. I treat every dog like family—patient, loving, and attentive to their individual needs. Whether your pup is high-energy or needs a gentler pace, I’ll provide safe, thoughtful care tailored just for them. Before getting my own dog at 19, I grew up in a home that always had two dogs. Helping care for them was a constant part of my life and taught me the responsibility, empathy, and joy that comes with loving animals. Additionally, I’ve been volunteering at Hallie Hill Animal Sanctuary, which has deepened my experience with dogs of all breeds and backgrounds. I'm currently in graduate school, which gives me a flexible schedule to care for your pups! I'm available for walks and in-home visits on Tuesdays, Fridays, and some weekends (just ask about weekend availability). I make pet care a priority and will always treat your dog with the same love and attention I give my own. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize safety, routine, and comfort. I follow all instructions closely—from feeding schedules to preferred walking routes—and make sure your pup feels secure while you're away. I always respect your space, keep things clean, and treat your home and pet with care and kindness. My goal is to maintain a calm, trustworthy presence so your dog stays happy and stress-free in their familiar environment.

About: I absolutely love taking care of both dogs & cats! I specialize in dog walking & exercise! I have the sweetest golden named maple & love taking care of her! I know how important it is to know they are cared for when traveling or at work! I work from home for myself & have a very flexible schedule that allows me to get walking exercise in easily! I aim to be as on call as possible! I primarily offer dog walking services but I know how our pets are the most valuable thing we love! I am very protective over the pets I walk and prioritize their health & safety!

About: Dogs have been part of our life forever, and now we share our adventures with our playful 2.5-year-old Catahoula Leopard Dog! We’re pros at beach zoomies, exploring trails at John’s Island County Park, and playing with our friends at the dog park. Your furry friend will be treated like part of the pack—playtime, snuggles, and endless tail wags guaranteed! Your dog(s) can have their own separate comfortable suite in our home or can mingle and play as much as they'd like with our pup, whichever you/they prefer! Conveniently located on your way to Kiawah/Seabrook Island, we are here to make your time away from home comfortable and convenient! We have a unique living situation where we live above the bicycle shop we own so one of us will be “home” most of the days. Our schedules aren’t consistent but if we aren’t “home” running the shop, we won’t be away from home for longer than 3 hours at a time. In our home, pets are treated like family, and every day is a new adventure! The mornings always kick off with fetch in our yard. While we’re in the process of building a fence, our yard is tucked away off the road, next to a quiet driveway leading to a storage facility—plenty of space to play safely! Our dog (and yours, if you’re comfortable) then heads to work at the bicycle shop, where she’s the official greeter and mood booster, soaking up love from coworkers (furry ones and human ones) and guests. Midday breaks are all about chasing tennis balls and soaking in extra snuggles. After work, the real fun begins! We head to John’s Island County Park’s dog park or Beachwalker Park for epic sunset zoomies on the beach. Your pup will enjoy endless playtime, love, and adventure with us—it’s a tail-wagging good time every single day! Your dog(s) can join in on all the fun with the other pups and people or can be kept separate while still being comfortable, getting lots of play, and all the love they need!

Kimberly & Dylan C.Star Sitter
“Ace loves his stayovers with Kimmy & Dylan! They are such thoughtful caretakers, always sharing pictures and updates to keep us informed throughout Ace’s stays. Whenever we have special care instructions, like medications or bathroom / bedtime routines, they make sure to ask clarifying questions and follow our care preferences to the letter.
