About: I have be around animals since I was four. From play vet with them to training them all the way to having them help me in therapy settings. Animals will give us signs when they are stressed that can be very subtle and we often miss these signs. My years of experience works with watching for signs and respecting what your pet is saying. Animals are my passion. I build my own schedule. So if the animal needs care at specific times I have the availability to work them into my daily routine. With respect and care. Meet and greets as well before starting services. Our animals deserve the best attention and care to help them feel safe and connected.
“Christy was amazing while she visited my cats. She took excellent care of them every time she came by and they absolutely loved her. She was incredibly responsive and went above and beyond when I thought my door was unlocked while I was away, coming back to make sure my pets and my home were secure. Would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will care for your pets like they would.”

About: Hi, I am an experienced animal owner with over 20 years of experience rescuing, fostering and providing care to homeless and needy animals. I have seen it all and can handle any situation.

I currently am home full time and have my entire schedule to dedicate to pet sitting or walking. I can be there to tend to your pet at whatever time you need!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 5, growing up my street had so many chihuahuas. I will take care of your pets like they’re my own. Right now I’m in college so I’m doing this for a little extra money and for something to do. I would love this extra time to care and love your pets as if they are my own plus it would give me something to do. (I promise I have so much free time on my hands this would really help lol) I would keep your dog inside. We would do activities such as walking your dog at a park or around my house. You must bring your own dog/cat food.
About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and have had three family dogs and two cats who have been part of my life since I was about 12. I’ve also helped care for many other family and friends’ pets over the years, including regular dog and cat sitting and house sitting. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and personalities, from small dogs who want to be attached to your hip to big dogs who need plenty of exercise. I’ve cared for pets with special diets, medications or other medical needs, specific exercise routines, and particular sleeping arrangements. I understand that every pet is different, so I don’t expect them all to have the same routine or personality. My goal is to follow what works for your pet and make them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I’m also happy to keep up with basic training routines, puppy energy, senior pets who need a slower pace, and pets who simply need a little extra patience and attention. I work a set Monday through Friday schedule at my full-time job in Myrtle Beach from 7:30 AM to 3:00 PM, so my availability is consistent and predictable rather than changing from week to week. I’m available for pet care before or after work during the week, and I have much more flexibility on Saturdays and Sundays. I have a reliable car and am willing to travel up to about 45 minutes for the right booking. Because my work schedule is set, I’m able to plan ahead and be consistent with visits, walks, feedings, medications, and other routines your pets are used to. I provide pet care in the client’s home rather than bringing pets into my own home. I know that having someone stay in or regularly enter your home is a big part of trusting a pet sitter, so I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, make sure pets don’t have access to anything unsafe, and keep their normal routines as consistent as possible. I’m also respectful of your home and belongings and will leave things the way I found them. For walks and outings, I pay attention to each pet’s individual behavior and comfort level.

We couldn’t be happier with the care Dace has provided our 3 fur babies! She helped us be letting our dogs our while we were working long hours, spent time playing with them, and made sure they had everything they needed. It was such a relief knowing our dogs weren’t alone all day without being able to have a mid-day playtime outside, and were genuinely cared about. The extra attention and playtime had made a huge difference for them being able to get some extra energy out!
