“Valarie did a great job with our sweet dog Ryder. She is responsible and trustworthy. She sent pictures and kept me updated regularly. I’ve already got her booked to help again in April! ❤️”
“Martina has been extremely reliable and patient. She’s always communicative during the walks and keeps me updated, which I really appreciate. Being in the Army with unpredictable hours is tough, but she truly puts my mind at ease knowing my baby is getting the care and attention he needs when I can’t be there. I’m so thankful for her!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong commitment to animals through caring for strays, fostering, and rescuing those in need. I have hands-on experience with pets of all kinds and treat each one with the same love and attention as my own. My passion for animals guides everything I do, creating a safe and caring environment they can feel comfortable in. Pet care is a meaningful part of my daily routine, starting with feeding and checking on local strays each morning and evening to ensure they’re safe and healthy. I make time every day to provide food, water, and any needed care, like basic grooming or medical attention. I also stay connected with my pets back home through regular check-ins with family and help coordinate their care, making sure they’re well-fed, loved, and looked after even when I’m away. Dogs: Ensure dogs have regular access to food, clean water, and daily exercise suited to their breed and energy level. Provide consistent routines, positive reinforcement, and mental stimulation through play and training. Monitor their health and behavior, and keep their living area safe and clean. Cats: Maintain a clean litter box, fresh water, and appropriate food tailored to their dietary needs. Offer enrichment with toys, scratching posts, and quiet spaces for rest. Pay attention to their behavior and grooming habits to detect any health concerns early.

About: I love all pets of all verities! I have two dogs and two cats of my own that I love immeasurably. Whether your pet is young and spritely or older and laid back, I hope I bring you the best care for your loved one. I’m an Air Force veteran currently going to USC. I have a very flexible schedule and can assist you and your pet with anything you require to help make your life easy! I have a fenced yard and two very kind loving dogs that love meeting new friends. I have plenty experience in crate training and working with shy animals who just need one on one attention
“Oralee is excellent and patient with my new rescue pup Jasper. Her communication is top notch when she is taking care of him while I’m at work. He is such a sweet shy boy and she has put him at ease on their walks.”
About: As a dedicated and experienced dog sitter, I understand the unique needs of each furry friend that comes into my care. My genuine love for dogs drives me to provide a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where they can thrive. With a keen sense of responsibility, I ensure that every dog receives individual attention, regular exercise, and the affection they deserve. My commitment to their well-being extends beyond basic care, as I take the time to understand their preferences and quirks, creating a comfortable and enjoyable experience for them. You can trust that your beloved canine companion will be in capable hands, receiving the utmost care and companionship while you're away. I am currently working as a full time paralegal with the Attorney Generals office. That being said, my schedule is very flexible and I am often able to leave for a one hour lunch/dog check in at any time. When the work day finishes (5pm), I am available for the rest of the afternoon and night. I am also available all day Saturday and Sunday. Whether in the comfort of my own home or in the familiar surroundings of your residence, your pets will receive exceptional care tailored to their needs. In my home, I've created a pet-friendly haven with a range of enriching activities, cozy spaces, and a structured routine to ensure their happiness and safety. For example, my apartment complex includes a well maintained dog park as well as being conveniently located adjacent to the Timmerman Trail. Each pet requires individualized care but, I typically go for a morning walk before 9-10am to avoid the scorching sun followed by breakfast and a longer walk in the evening hours. If caring for them in their own environment is preferred, I bring the same level of dedication, maintaining routines and ensuring they feel secure and loved. Regular walks, playtime, nourishing meals, and plenty of cuddles are all part of my commitment to providing the best care possible.
“Daquan was very kind and patient when we took a minute to get our dogs’ harnesses on (they get very excited for their walks lol). And they seemed to really enjoy their walk with him!”

About: I have been around animals for as long as I can remember. My earliest memories go back to when I was around 2 or 3 years old petting the two cats we had under the dining room table. Later on my family got 4 of the 5 we still have today. I can't imagine life without them. I've had several dogs over the years. Winston, Sticks, and now Scooby & Nevill. My pets are family to me and when I take care of others' pets I treat them with the same respect. I've pet sat off and on for the past few years and I take the well-being of animals very seriously. I have watched over small dogs (pomeranians) and cats. However, I also feel comfortable taking care of larger dogs I have owned and befriended dogs of larger stature/strength in the past. (I had a Black Lab, my sister had a Saint Bernard, and my brother an ~90lb Pit Bull who I was very close with.) Overall the point is that I am very fond of animals and have been taking care of them my whole life. I have a deep love and respect for our furry friends. I am confident in my abilities to provide for their needs.
About: All my life my family has had dogs and cats around the property. Small dogs, Big dogs, Silly dogs, Crazy cats anything you could imagine. In fact I remembermy family having at one point up to 12 cats and 4 dogs at one time which filled my day fill of walks, play, and general care for them. I would love to spend time doing one of the things I love the most and that is taking care of humans and animals that need it. I have recently graduated from MUSC's physician assistant program and currently drive part-time for Uber but will happily make time to provide adequate services for you and your animal. If you're interested please PM or call and I'll help your animal put their best paw out front. I'm currently working part time so I have plenty of time to help you out with your cat/doggy needs! At the most just let me know when you need me and we'll hash it out from there! I don't offer services in my own home but I'd be happy to meet with you before any bookings to see if you're comfortable with me being inside your home. If you're okay with me being in your home, I'll be sure to send daily updates with how your pet is doing and if anything out of the ordinary is going on. As for myself, I'm very flexible and adaptable to whatever conditions or house rules you may have.
About: Im staying in South Carolina more now, so I’m back to being available. I mostly stay home building a homestead, so I have some spare time. Prior Air Force medic, for 5 years, and would house, dog, and babysit for fellow members and leadership. Also, was a veterinary assistant for 1.5 years. I own three big dogs, an kitten and a tortoise, but have had the responsibility of caretaking for pets since I was young. I can schedule pretty much at any time and am willing to work longer hours, if it is needed. I am very flexible. I prefer not to drive over 40 minutes to a location for drop ins and walks, but can if you are unable to find another sitter closer to your location. I do not allow others pets in my own home due to two of my rescue dogs taking a long time to be comfortable around other dogs. I pay very close attention to the slightest changes in a pets mood and can be very reactive in an emergency situation, if it occurs. I am responsible on walks, I will keep your baby safe and not allow others to interfere with them. I will respect your rules and training that you have for your pet in your home and outside environment.
About: I am a pet lover and very active person. I would love to provide services to you and your family, while also allowing myself time to stay fit and active.

You will not be disappointed once you book me. My pet car experience and special skills set me apart from other sitters and walkers. Your pet will show the difference once they board or walk with me!

He would send us updates with videos and pictures, which made us feel at ease. We truly miss him and his wonderful care!”

I highly recommend Christopher.”
