About: Every companion has their own individual personality, and I'm here to adapt to whatever your pet's wants and needs may be! Myself and my two dogs, Richardt and Darryl, live in a quiet, kid-free house on four acres of fenced in land. The property is also located near multiple parks for added exploration and walks, if desired. Both of my dogs love other dogs of all breeds and sizes. Richardt is an 11 year old senior Boston Terrier with an incredibly laidback personality, and Darryl is a 2 year old Boston Terrier pup with a playful, curious energy about him. I've been working professionally with animals for the past 12+ years, and have been a proud pet parent for even longer. My work history includes five plus years with the Animal Care Society, Treat's Pet Resort, and PetSuites Resort & Spa, as well as caring for my own personal clients' pets for the past 18 years. I’m also a Level 2 Reiki practitioner and would love to provide holistic energy work as an additional service for your companion, if desired. Feel free to ask any questions you might have! Please feel free to reach out if you'd like to schedule a meet and greet prior to booking as I'd be more than happy to accommodate! I work from home part-time, which allows for me to be readily available to cater to both you and your pet's needs - everything from regular potty breaks, to photo updates, to whatever special needs and/or desires your pet might have. I'm available all days of the week, at virtually any time you might need. The environment your pet will be cared for in is one that provides calmness, safety, and security. Whatever your pet's desires may be, you can expect for them to be met by my two dogs and myself. If they want to play, we can play! If they want to nap, we can nap! It's your dog's world, we will merely just be living in it. I have two additional crates your pet(s) can use, if needed. In addition to crating, I also have a baby gate if you think your pet might prefer some time away from others at any point during their stay. You can rest assured knowing that your dog will have the perfect balance of structure, play, and relaxation when staying with us.

6. Allison L.
About: I believe you can tell everything you need to know about a person by the way they treat animals. I have owned and cared for dogs my entire life. After my 14 year old Labrador passed away, I became a foster home for needy dogs, through GRANND. I learned a lot about sick and abused dogs over those years. Most recently I have been house and dog sitting for a family in Louisville. I specialize in disabled and medical care your dog may need. I currently have an open schedule now that my teen is getting older. I look forward to spending my time with your dog, soon. I also have experience with care of birds and rabbits. Please no cats, due to allergies. I am currently a mother of one teenage girl. She needs me less so I have a very flexible schedule. I look forward to spending more time with animals. I will care for animals at your home. I am also happy to take your dog to the park, or wherever you prefer. My schedule is flexible.
7. Lauren & Joseph G.
“Lauren is a a kind and thoughtful mom and pet sitter who can be relied upon to care for your four-legged family members! She has helped care for our two rambunctious dogs while we were away and are thankful for her service.”
8. Candice C.
“Candice watched my animals during a week long vacation in August. I have 2 mini pigs and a dog and she did awesome. She came twice a day and stayed several hours each time. She kept the animals on schedule and when arriving home they were happy and healthy. Our dog usually gets anxiety and hates staying at a dog kennel so we needed to find him someone that could come to the house. And I believe he enjoyed the company. I will use Candice again!”
9. Stephanie C.
About: Since birth, I’ve been raised with boxers. Along with that, for half my life I lived on a farm and I worked at a pet kennel for about a year in Simpsonville, but has since closed down due to COVID. I’ve been pet sitting on and off for friends and family since. I have experience bathing dogs and clipping dog nails. I have two part time jobs, this and working at petsmart, so I would like that to be kept in mind. However, I always put my heart and soul into each pet I sit for! I also always have extra time for nightly pet check ins or stay the night dog sitting. I’m also happy doing long stays with pets for vacations families are going on! I love spending my time with animals and giving them all the lovins! I am good at calming dogs down and I’m good with handling animals with separation anxiety. Among many things I learned working at a pet kennel for a while is that I easily understand how animals are feeling and when to approach, as well as if they are angry or scared. I am open to helping with walking your pets, giving them medicine, bathing and clipping, taking them to a park, or cuddle sessions!
10. Allie G.
“I HIGHLY recommend Allie! Here’s the backstory, I had Hank in a different training program that caused increased aggression, he came to me from the breeder FERAL and I was terrified of him, I cried every day all day, to be honest I dreaded interacting with him. In addition to this Hank was anxious, skittish and I could barely get him out of the car when we arrived at this original place. I had recommended the center to a friend where Allie was and she was my friends dog trainer and I was so impressed that I decided to reach out to them where I requested Allie, we did the consultation and she listened with complete attention, caring and compassion to my fears about him and said she could help me. I signed up as she was my last hope with my terrible baby (he would lunge at me and pin me against the wall) and within two days of training with Allie he was behaving so much better and she also taught me confidence to handle him, Allie and Hank were the best of friends and I loved the love she had for him. Each day during the 3week training package I chose I would ask if he was ready to go see Allie and he would do complete spins and whimpered to get in the car, he also would go crazy when she walked in the door at work. When my time was up Hank and I had the best relationship, he was so well behaved. THE BIGGEST BIGGEST FACTOR is Allie trained him in a non-aggressive way and he was just a complete gentle lover boy when it was all done. Allie saved our lives with her wonderful knowledge and techniques and I will be forever grateful for her. There’s no other person who I would recommend as she’s so trustworthy, caring, skilled and comes with an incredible amount of knowledge, she is simply the best!!”
11. Autumn J.
“Autumn has such a love for animals, especially dogs. She has cared for them ever since she was a little kid which began with feeding them and letting them go potty. Now she also makes their food from scratch, grooms them, walks them, and teaches them tricks. I would say she’s the most trustworthy person you could have care for any animal.”
12. Renee & Fritz B.
About: I have had animals and been around animals, my whole life. My husband & I have plenty of time and love to care for yours. We are retired & empty nesters so we have plenty of time and love to care for your pets. We are super flexible in our schedules. We have a dog & a cat!! Our dog loves to go for walks at the park and our sweet cat is a spoiled baby.
13. Amanda H.
About: I've taken care of many animal types throughout my life, growing up on a farm with dogs, cats, horses and cattle. I love a good walk at the park with my dogs! Any animal interaction fills my cup! Animal care will be my part time job for my summer off of college! I will be available weekdays Monday-Thursday from 6am to 8pm. I love getting to know pets personalities and enjoying quality time with them for excercise and care. I have a fenced in back yard with plenty of room for dogs to play, as well as knowledgeable experience of keeping pets safe at home and outdoors.

15. Tiffany K.
“Tiffany has watched my dogs for me for years! She is absolutely amazing and loves animals. Her kids and spouse love them just as much! They work as a team to give my furbabies all the love and attention they need and deserve while I am away!”
16. Alyssa K.
“Alyssa is the best dog mom I know. She is wonderfully kind and caring and always makes sure that every fur baby in her care is happy and well cared for. She goes the extra doggy mile and I highly recommend her dog sitting services.”
17. Shauna G.
About: Dogs are my passion. I have been loving and caring for dogs before I ever had my own. I grew up taking care of neighbors dogs. I would take them for walks, bathe them and just hang out with them because I didn’t have one of my own. I finally got a husky when I was 10 and currently own 4 dogs. I am very familiar with many breeds of dogs as well as different temperaments. I also train dogs, from puppies to adults, and small to large. I have yet to meet a dog I haven't fallen in love with. If you are looking for someone who will love your dogs as much as you do, I am your girl. I used to board, but recently had a baby so I had to step away from boarding. However, I am still available to do drop in visits and dog walks! My daily schedule is very flexible so I will be easy to work with. Your dog will never be let out without a leash if not in a fenced yard and all rules you establish will be met. Your dog will be treated like one of my own. My babies are family.

About: I have taken care of dogs all my life. I have watched dogs several times for family members and really enjoy spending time with new dogs, getting to know each of their individual personality’s! I work full-time and work from home every other Friday and Monday! I get off of work around 5PM on the weekdays so I have good availability. I have no other animals that would disturb your pet. I have a large apartment complex and can take them for walks down at the creek/forest area. I have a spacious place for them to make themselves comfortable.
19. Logan H.
About: I have grown up taking care of larger dogs but I currently have 3 fur babies that I love very much! I am reliable and will take care of your pets like they are my own! I am working part time as of right now but can be fairly flexible! I will be able to stay for an extended amount of time if needed. I am able to come to your home to feed, walk, play, etc.! If available, I can also watch them when you are away on vacation!
