“Rachel cared for my miniature poodle Jack since he was a puppy when we would go out of town. He is now 6 years old. Rachel helped feed, walk and bathe him. Jack has diabetes and Rachel has helped give Jack the 2 shots he needs daily. She sends us pictures and videos daily of how happy he is under her care. I would define recommend Rachel if you are looking for a pet sitter.”

“There’s nobody better to care for your pets than Amia. Amia takes care of my dogs like they are their own. My requests and wishes are always respected, with Amia going above and beyond to care and enrich dogs while in their care. My German Shepherds have a lot of separation anxiety but with Amia I can come home to perfectly adjusted dogs. There is nobody else in the entire world, including friends and family, that I would trust more to care for my dogs when I can’t.”

“Amazing as always! We had a last minute request and Colby was able to help us out!”

About: Hi my name is Diane, and I have been caring for dogs, cats, fish and birds most of my life. I will care for your furbabies as if they were my own. They will receive professional care, love, attention and affection. I have a nice yard and field for walks, and a large covered deck for outside play time in severe weather. I only take one family's pets at a time. So, your babies will get plenty of quality attention and companionship. My home is pet friendly and all safety precautions have been implemented. Your companions will be kept separate from my own for the safety of both parties. I am also comfortable and experienced taking care of special needs pets that might require medications to be administered or other accommodations. I have excellent reviews and references. I work from home part time as a nutritional consultant. So, caring for your companions will be my top priority. You can feel confident and secure while they're in my care. I will accommodate your companions needs and your requests. All pets are kept safe and attended to at all times. I am trustworthy and reliable.

About: I am an avid pet lover. I’ve been around dogs all my life (minus a short time when I lived in an apartment and couldn’t have a dog, so we decided to adopt 2 cats!). I am a pretty active gal, and am able to take dogs for walks (and even run if they want to). I'm open to drop in visits, housesitting, walks, etc. I am unable to provide boarding at my house, as our Chloe is selective about her friends. We are working with her on being more tolerant of others. If boarding is your preference, I would be open to a Chloe meet-and-greet to make sure your dog and Chloe are comfortable with each other. I work locally around Columbia, so I am able to do some petsitting during the week. I have more availability on the weekends. If my schedule allows, I can drop in on lunch to check on your pets. Your rules are my rules. As long as the dog/cat/etc. is happy, I am happy. My dogs are allowed on furniture and have the run of the house. Of course, they are not chewers and (typically) do not destroy things.

“Ray loves all animals from dogs large and small to lizards, rats, horses, pigs, and chickens. He is reliable and trustworthy and has cared for my menagerie several times when I was traveling. My little dog likes him more than she does me! Highly recommended.”

“Katie is a true animal lover. She will take good care of your dogs. She is loving, kind and responsible. I would highly recommend her to take care of your dogs. Your dogs be loved and well taken care of. She has had animals her whole life and will love and care for yours as if they are her own.”

“I highly, highly recommend Clare! She is knowledgeable and trustworthy. She is wonderful with communication and always sends update photos. It’s so nice having peace of mind while I’m away from my fur babies!!”

“Emily does a great job with our very hyper pups. Thanks again Emily.”

“Fantastic! My dogs love their walks with Andrea. She is very responsive and great with my dogs!”

“Kristina was awesome. We really appreciate that she took the time to get to know our dogs, and coax our scaredycat out of his shell. Prompt, super-friendly and professional! Thank you so much!!”

About: I’ve stayed overnight with 4 dogs for 3 nights a few years back. I also own 2 cats (8 and almost 1) so i’ve experienced kitten energy recently. I work part time so I could pop in before and after my short shift! I can also spend the night for a few days. I think it’s important to trust their body language before anything else. I totally love petting and playing with animals but only when they approve of it.

“Mariam was absolutely a fantastic dog watcher / walker for our Ozzy while we were away. Professional, sweet; and caring, responsive and helpful: we are grateful for Mariam and would loved to hire her again: highly recommend!!!”

“Knowing Bernie for decades now, caring for animals has always been a top priority for her. She really loves to nurture and play with animals as she absolutely loves seeing a happy pet! Her great passion for the well-being of all animals makes her an ideal Rover sitter!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 12, neighbors and family would let me walk, feed, and bathe their animals. I still have 2 dogs now and take great care of them! Every single day I have to take care of my 2 dogs. One being 12, I’ve had Bella since I was a kid. And one puppy being 1, still working in training but is a love bug. I’m very patient and understand of animals are timid. I love gaining animals trust so I can take better care of them. In my home my senior dog requires a little more care. I have another puppy who requires more care also, I bathe them every other week, keep up with brushing or cutting nails. I also book grooming almost monthly.

“Meghan does an amazing job watching my black lab, Captain! He’s always happy and calm when I come home because she takes him on plenty of walks, plays fetch, and gives him lots of snuggles. I trust Meghan with my dogs sensitive stomach issues and tendency to over heat. She has experience with her own pups and is very nurturing. She also does a great job communicating with me. I have recommended her to family and friends. And I would recommend her to anyone here! Thank you Meghan!”
