About: Hello, I am Binta! I graduated from North Carolina A&T in Greensboro, where I studied Animal Science. I have 8 years of experience of raising pets, mainly dogs and cats. All throughout high school, I have volunteered after school taking care of rescue cats so that they can be comfortable while waiting for their forever home. I also used to work part-time in a local dog resort, looking after dogs of all kinds of breeds and temperaments. So, if your furry family member needs a walk or a friend to play with, you can count on me to keep him or her company while you are away for the day! I have a job with an irregular schedule, so I am free in the afternoons and evenings for the time being. Weekends, nights and holidays included. If it’s a drop-in request, I would like the owner to leave a list or on the pet’s Rover card on how much and what times they are fed. If it’s a walk request, I will have water and poop bags when your pet needs breaks during walks.
“She was quick to respond and punctual. Thank you!”

About: I’ve had a dog all my life and have taken care of friends and family’s pets for years. People have relied on me to stay in their home, or to just pop by to take out. I moved to Boiling Springs, South Carolina for Chiropractic school. My schedule is flexible as I make my own schedule around seeing patients at school! I have a dog my self that is very friendly! I have a way with dogs to make them feel comfortable with me. I am able to keep a safe and trusting environment for both of us! And I follow the rules given to me.
“Lindsay is Easy to work with! She was very kind and accommodating!”
About: I've taken care of dogs and other animals all my life. My family and I used to rescue stray animals, like dogs, cats, and birds. I have friends that rely on me to cat sit and watch their houses while they go on vacation. I work about 25-30 hours a week. I tend to work at night, so I can play, feed, and walk your pets during the day and sometimes in the afternoon. I have two fur babies that are complete opposites. I have an older one so she likes to cuddle and stay inside most days, but the younger baby loves playing outside in our fenced in backyard. I always make sure to feed them twice a day and have water in their bowls at all times.
About: (18+ years Professional Dog Groomer) Hello! I’m April — a lifelong animal lover with a heart for pets and a mind for dependable, professional service. I understand that trusting someone with your beloved furry family member is a big deal — and I take that responsibility seriously (with a side of treats and belly rubs, of course). Whether you have a playful pup, a wise old cat, or a shy new addition, I provide customized care that meets your pet’s emotional and physical needs. Calm, attentive, and endlessly patient, I create a stress-free, joyful experience for pets and their humans alike. Frequent updates and adorable photos are always included — because I know how much a wagging tail or a cozy nap picture can brighten your day. My professional background in dog grooming adds an extra layer of expertise to my pet sitting services. Having worked closely with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, I’ve developed a trained eye for spotting subtle changes in a pet’s health, behavior, or comfort level. This experience allows me to provide attentive, proactive care — ensuring your pet stays not only happy and relaxed, but also healthy and thriving while you’re away. I have also been actively involved in the world of dog sports for nearly a decade, gaining hands-on experience in a variety of disciplines. My background includes participation in Fast CAT, Rally Obedience, Scentwork, and, most recently, Conformation showing. Additionally, I am an active member of Spartanburg Kennel Club and Palmetto Obedience Training Club in Spartanburg. Your pet deserves more than just a sitter — they deserve a new best friend who treats them like family. Let’s connect and create a plan that keeps your pet happy, healthy, and absolutely spoiled (in the best way)! I currently have a fairly open and flexible schedule for pet sitting, allowing me to devote focused, consistent care to the pets I serve. I’m in the process of gradually retiring from my professional grooming career and winding down my grooming salon operations, shifting my focus fully toward in-home pet care. As a full-time online college student, my coursework offers the flexibility to work around your pet’s needs — ensuring they receive reliable attention, companionship, and comfort throughout the day. I have extensive experience working with multi-pet households, where understanding individual needs and maintaining harmony is key. I’m skilled in operating and managing separation tools such as crates, baby gates, and designated spaces to ensure each pet feels secure and comfortable. Additionally, I’m attentive to the specific dietary requirements of each animal, carefully following feeding routines and managing separate diets to avoid mix-ups or food sensitivities. My goal is to create a smooth, stress-free environment where every pet’s needs are met with care and precision.

Sophia S.
“I am a helicopter fur mama to say the least to a 5 year old labrador retriever. I would NEVER put in him a kennel, no judgement to other fur parents choosing that option, mine would not do well. Other than my mother, Sophia is the one other person I trust to care for my fur baby overnight. I have hired Sophia many many times over the past 3+years, I will change plans to work around her avaliability rather than ask someone else. I just mention the name Sophia and Stanley is zooming towards the door looking for her. He just loves her. She cares for my dog the way I would. She will wrap him in a blanket if he is cold, snuggle him, take him for walks, sit on the couch with him and actually play with him (not just sit in the same room, but ignore him). Sophia is also very mindful with any provided instructions such as dietary needs, daily schedule, etc. I have had Sophia come for a few hours when I have been away for the day to staying over at my house for a few days for longer trips. When we have gone away for days I always come back to my house exactly how I left it or cleaner and most importantly a VERY happy dog. She is also great about providing me updates and pictures, which I greatly appreciate. I never worry about my fur baby when he is with Sophia. Could not find a better dog walker, sitter out there. ABSOLUTELY A-MAZING, FANFREAKINGTASTIC! Sophia is second to none!”

Kennidy C.
“Kennidy has been house and animal sitting for us for years. We have 7 cats. Some cats have to be separated from others because they are aggressive. 3 cats have medication and special diets so they have to be fed separately, medications administered and monitored. We also have 6 litter boxes! Kennidy has done a spectacular job for us, consistently. We get photos, updates, and contacts us if there'sanything wrong. She even feeds my duck while we are away. She is honest, thorough, and dependable. I, honestly, couldn't ask for a better sitter!! She's the only reason I have been able to enjoy my vacations for years!!!!”
April W.
“April is awesome. Anytime I have needed her, she has dropped everything and came to my aid. She has taken excellent care of my animals from feeding to washing potty pads. I highly recommend her for all of your pet sitting needs.”
