Divina is a wonderful pet sitter. I can highly recommend her to anyone in need of a reliable, thoughtful and caring pet sitter. I don't often leave town, but she gave me confidence that everything was in great hands. She followed my detailed instructions as requested. She kept everything clean and in order including my cat's litter box. She has a way with animals, and genuinely enjoys being with them. This is clearly not just a job for her. Her gentle approach worked magic on my very shy cat. In a matter of hours, Betty Cooper, my cat, was greeting Divina and visiting with her. To my surprise, they were even playing together. She was on-time everyday. And her daily reports with pictures were enjoyable and informative. I was extremely worried about leaving town during a rare five-day winter hard freeze. Divina not only took great care of my fuzzy friend, she made sure all was well in the house. She did extra things to ensure my house was secure like bring in the mail and turn lights on and off to give the appearance of someone being home. Having her there gave me great peace of mind. She will definitely be pet and house sitting for me again in the future! Thank you very much, Divina!

Paige’s service was A+. She followed instructions to a T, responded to all messages within a few minutes, and left very detailed notes along with multiple pics for all check-in’s. She even celebrated our pup’s birthday while we were away with treats and a birthday hat. We struck gold with Paige. Do yourself a favor and book her for all of your pet sitting needs. *Paige walked, fed/watered, and medicated our 11 year female lab twice a day for 6 days.

Eric was amazing for our fur babies! Truly treated them as his own, spent extra time with them, and even bought my girl a new rope toy! It was so nice to feel at ease seeing all the pictures, and communication while we were away. If you want the best care for your pets then definitely book Eric. But not too much because we want to keep using him too! Lol!

About: Hi pet parent! As a Certified Professional Pet Sitter, I offer a variety of services to help take care of your furry family members. Whether you need your pup to be walked, enjoy some day-long playtime, or require overnight boarding, I am here to provide top-quality pet care that you can rely on. You can find my credentials on my Instagram profile @myluvfuryou! When it comes to boarding, I want to ensure that every pet receives the utmost attention and care. That's why I limit the number of clients I take in at a time, to ensure that each animal gets the personalized care they deserve. Being a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy to look after your beloved pets. That's why I hold myself to high standards of care and ensure all dogs are up-to-date with their vaccinations and free from parasites or contagious viruses. To further demonstrate my dedication to pet care, I am certified in pet first aid and cardiopulmonary cerebral resuscitation (CPCR). With this specialized training, I can respond quickly and effectively to any medical emergency and ensure that your furry friend is safe and well cared for at all times. My schedule is open every day, as I have dedicated myself full-time to pet care. With a fully fenced yard and three dogs of my own, your pets will have plenty of company and a comfortable place to stay. We treat our dogs like family, and yours will be no different! They can relax and enjoy some couch time or snuggle up in one of our cozy dog beds. By being a member of Pet Sitters International, a professional and educational association, I stay up-to-date on the latest industry trends and resources. This helps me provide the best possible service to my clients, and ultimately, leads to the success of my pet care business. So, if you're looking for a friendly, reliable, and pet first aid-certified pet sitter, look no further. I am excited to meet you and your furry family members and provide the exceptional pet care that they deserve! Flexibility is key when it comes to pet care, and that's why I offer a range of services tailored to fit your needs. Whether you need regular walks, drop-in visits, or an extended stay in our fully fenced and secure home, I've got you covered. At our home, we take sanitation seriously. We have air filtration and a high-tech vacuum to keep everything clean and fresh. Plus, we use a vet-grade disinfectant that is non-toxic to sanitize all of our spaces & bedding. We offer both indoor climate-controlled play and outdoor playtime as well, so your pets can enjoy the best of both worlds. To ensure the safety of all dogs, we require completed vaccinations for rabies, distemper, and Bordetella before they can join our daycare or boarding services. If your pet does become sick with a contagious virus, we will need a letter of good health from your vet before they can return to our care. Your pet's overall happiness and health are my top priorities, and I am dedicated to providing exceptional care to each and every pet.

About: Hi! My wife and I have over 10+ years of dog sitting experience. We have 4 fur children; 1 dog, Daisy and 3 cats; Ray Charles, Buttercup, and Dahlia. Friends, family, and colleagues have asked us to dog sit in our homes and theirs. With flexible work schedules either my wife or myself are always home. We are South Carolina Transplants that have been down here since 2018 and our home base is Riverside. I am a full time realtor in town that loves any and all animals. My wife and I have fostered, cared after several kittens and puppies in the area and helped them find forever homes. I want to take the best care possible of your pets. I am happy to run your pets for you, care for older animals to not hurt their joints. Also will help to instill good habits with your pets. (you can teach an old dog new tricks) I have been sitting for friends and family for years, taking care of pets ranging from 4lb to 120lb. My availability is flexible. Feel free to message me for further details, happy to work with your schedule. I work as a full time realtor so my schedule is very flexible to help out with different parts of the day. Routine depends on where a customer is to base availability. I have a fenced in back yard. I let my cats enjoy the backyard with my dog. Very quite and spacious and also have a screened in back yard if it gets too hot.

About: I don’t remember a time I didn’t have a dog! I’ve been taking care of my pets from home ever since I was 8, and training them off of YouTube videos when I was only 12! If anyone in my family ever needs their pet watched, I’m always the first one called. Animals have always made me extremely happy, so watching them for others has never been a hassle, more so a gift! I am so excited to watch your pet and take a weight off your shoulders! I am currently a full time teacher, however I am available every weekday after 5 (as long as other school responsibilities do not interfere on any given day), and all day Saturday and Sunday. Although I live in an apartment complex, there is a very nice designated dog area that I would love to bring your pet to! I have one other roommate, but we are both animal lovers so I promise your pet will not have a boring time!

About: I’ve grown up with all types of dogs ranging from chihuahuas to Rhodesian Ridgebacks - I love them all and the unique personalities they each have. Friends & family have all relied on my to care for their pets whether it’s a quick walk to long-term housing. I currently work hybrid- so depending on the day your pet will become my coworker and on the other days I will come back to the house 2-3 times to let them out during breaks. I am very active and love taking the dogs along for my walks. My community has a dog park as well. Being in an apartment, I take the dog(s) for lots of walks and out on my daily adventures with me- your dog will become part of my family. While I am home, they will have free range and are allowed on the furniture. Dogs must be crate trained and I prefer to have them crated when I leave the home (will never leave them for longer then 2-4 hours). My community is very quiet and in being a good neighbor, I unfortunately cannot have a dog who screams or barks excessively.
