Dog Sitting Startex

“Bailey did a great job with our short-notice visit. She fed and watered our cats, and cleaned the litter box. She also sent us photos of our cats, who clearly enjoyed her visit :)”

“Preston did a phenomenal job coming in to my home to drop in sir for our 3 dogs. Our sitter cancelled last minute and Preston stepped in and saved the weekend! He was great handling our dogs as they had never met. He was very knowledgeable, prepared, flexible, communicative, and took excellent care of our dogs and our home. I would not hesitate to book Preston again. Thank You Preston!”

“Very very appreciative of Kathryn. She was so helpful and ensured that all of our pets’ needs were met, going above and beyond to make sure that everything went well. I’ve had a few less than pleasant experiences on here, so coming home to happy pets and no mess was a relief. I absolutely recommend booking with her.”

About: I’ve taken cared for dogs since I was a kid, sat since I was a teenager, and can provide your pup with the best care possible. I know dog training basics, so can keep up any training regimen you’re working on. I’m happy to give frequent walks, and even runs for energetic pups if needed. I also don’t work a normal 9-5, so your Fido will never be along for an entire day. I work part-time early mornings, every day, so for sitting I’m never gone for more than 5 hours. For daytime services I’m available anytime after 10am. I always ensure consistent scheduling for feedings and outings. I’m always early for walks and drop-ins, so no need to worry about flakiness. Glad to adhere to any other instructions, be they training related, feeding and care, or whatever else your pup needs. For energetic pups I’m happy to go for runs as well.

“Christine was very nice to watch our cat so last minute due to an urgent family matter we had to travel out of state for. She followed the directions & showed up when she needed to. Thank you!”

About: I have never met an animal I did not love. My mom likes to say that I’ve always loved animals. She remembers me trying to jump out of her arms, before I could even walk, in order to pet a nearby dog. I am a 32 years old and originally from Minnesota. I grew up taking care of a miniature schnauzer named Oreo, who was a wonderful family companion. I had a pet ferret for 6 years named Swarley, who I alone cared for. I have cared for friends and previous roommate’s dogs, fish, cats, rabbits, and rats. I’ve also cared for all kinds of reptiles and amphibians when working at nature centers for 3 years. I have also cared for a neighbors goats and am comfortable around farm animals. I now have a super sweet 8 year old rescue dog named Primrose. She typically comes along with me when I am pet sitting. She is an excellent houseguest- quiet, chill, and loves other dogs and people. If I am lucky enough to get to care for your pet, I will give all of my attention to them and provide the very best care possible. I hope to hear from you soon! I can work around your schedule. Let me know what works best for you. I hope we can work together to get your pets the care they need! I am careful to make sure sneaky pets are unable to escape when I come in and out of doors. I always put a leash and collar on any pet before taking them outdoors. I'm used to and meticulous about keeping medications and food out of reach for pets. I am highly engaged with the pets I am watching and observe for any small signs of stress or health issues. I would call you immediately if I noticed something was wrong or off with your pet and I am totally willing to call your veterinarian or take them to an emergency veterinarian, if ever necessary. I can administer medications and make special diets, if requested.

About: I grew up in a household of 6 dogs of all different breeds, as well as 3 cats. I am experienced in pet care including feeding, playtime, potty schedules, grooming, administering medications, and safety. I work as a PRN physical therapist assistant, and therefore have ample free time to love on your fur babies! I am usually available 3-4 days a week. While I live in an apartment with one furry friend of my own, I am able to come by to your pet’s humble abode to provide in home care, neighborhood or park walks, etc.

About: Hello! My name is Cindy. I'm so delighted to start my pet walking business; opening in March (Let's Walk). It's beyond belief that I'm able to finally display my deep love for dogs with helping busy owners, ensuring every furry family member gets adventure and the care they deserve. I learned so much caring for my beloved Winnie, who I sadly had to let go due to unexpected events that took place in my life many years ago. I understand the joy and responsibility of pet ownership firsthand. I am committed to providing exceptional care, safety, and companionship for your pet family member. My goal is to give you peace of mind, a tired dog and RELIABLE service. I offer a nurturing and stimulating environment for your furry family member's. I recently retired early from teaching preschool children to pursue a career in pet care. I offer flexible, full time availability and am able to provide constant supervision and care for your pet, ensuring they are happy and comfortable. I'm available seven days a week from 6am to 7pm. I will be adding boarding services April 2026. Your pets safety is of most PRIORITY. I will stay alert for cars, people and other dogs; avoid music, use proper equipment (secure harness/collar), stick to safe routes (sidewalks, avoid heavy traffic), manage interactions ( ask permission for greetings) watch for broken glass or hot pavement (using the 5-second rule), carry water, use reflective gear at night, while managing their health and observing their body language.

About: I am a 27 year old husband and father of 2 boys. I am a veterinary nurse who works with dogs and cats everyday. I love what I do and consider myself lucky to be able to make a living working with animals. I know that most owners feel the same way as i do about their dogs/cats when they have to leave them in others hands. Owners are going to worry when they are away and it is up to the person responsible for their pet to make them feel at ease. When your pet is with me you can know that they are in good hands and that I will do everything I can to make them feel safe. I know all dogs are different and some are more frightened when their owners are away. Some dogs need more affection than others while some just want you to throw them the ball. I take pride in making them feel safe and as if they were with their best friend. I promise you i will keep your pet safe and sound. Even more than that i promise you that them and I will have fun! Thank you. I work Monday through Friday with Thursdays off. I can always come by in the mornings, on lunch, and afternoon and nights. I can be as flexible as needed. I will always keep an eye on the pet and make sure they are seen as if their own human was there. I take pride that I have worked in the vet field for over a decade and pretty much grew up in it

About: I have taken care of many different breeds of dogs, both large and small. When I was previously a nanny, people have relied on me to take care of both their animals and their children. In regard to taking care of the animals, I have boarded them, taken them for walks, taken them to the vet, given them medicine, fed them, played with them outside, and took them to the dog parks to interact with other dogs. I work for Greenville County and I am about to be off all summer. This will give me the availability to walk your dogs, board your dogs, and or let your dogs out to potty and feed them every day. My daughter and I are very active and we love to be outside so we can keep your dogs very active and spend time playing with them. I have a very large back yard that would give your dog(s) plenty of space to run around and play. I also have the ability to crate your dog, if necessary. Since my schedule is pretty open, I have the ability to take your dogs out for potty breaks and or feed them when they need it. Also, since my daughter and I are very active we can take your dog(s) on walks that meet their needs.

About: I’ve been dog sitting for about 3 years, and I also worked at a doggy daycare for a year! During that time, I gained experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Working at a daycare taught me how important patience and understanding are, especially when dogs miss their owners, feel anxious, or don’t want to eat. I know every dog is different, and I always take the time to understand their individual needs and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs, and I treat every pet as if they were my own! I’m currently a college student, so my schedule and availability change each semester depending on my classes. I also work part-time on weekends, but I have free time during the week that I would love to spend caring for dogs! While weekdays are generally easier for me, I’m also open to weekend pet sitting and would be happy to discuss availability in advance. I think pet sitting fits perfectly into my college routine because it allows me to do something I genuinely enjoy while balancing school and work. I love spending time with dogs, and I truly believe their companionship would brighten my day just as much as I hope to brighten theirs! Since I currently live in a college dorm, I only offer pet care in the owner’s home. I understand how important it is for dogs to feel safe and comfortable, especially when their owners are away. I believe keeping them in a familiar environment and maintaining their usual routine can make a big difference! I’m very respectful of each owner’s home and always make sure to follow any instructions regarding feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs their dog may have. With my previous dog sitting and daycare experience, I know how to be patient with dogs of different personalities and help them feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. My goal is to give owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in caring and responsible hands!

About: I have a soft spot for all animals. The thing about me is that I can handle any size dog pretty much. Big guy animal lover My routine is pretty much working out almost every day so your pet can get plenty of exercise coming to the field with me. Caring for your pet is easy for me I pretty much make my own schedule. When it comes to Caring for pets in my home i stay alone and I have hard wood flooring. I am also open to learning how to care for a senior pet or special needs pet.

About: I have owned dogs and cats all of my life. I have taken care of all kinds of dogs, cats, rabbits, even birds. I have had many friends, neighbors, and family members ask me to care for their beloved animals over the years. I have done long term fostering as well. I’m currently a stay at home mom of 3 so my schedule varies between my children’s activities. My kids are willing and eager to help or can also be less involved if necessary. I’m able to pet sit on the weekends and during the week. I can happily provide necessary play or walking for your dog in your yard or on a leash. I love to give the fur babies the attention they crave when their humans aren’t there to give them that comfort, just like I would want someone to do for my own.

About: Hi, I'm Cloe! I live in Greenville and I've wanted a dog for years. Until then, I'm happy to spend time with yours. I've fostered a dog before, so I know how much a new routine can stress a pup, and I'm patient about helping them settle in. I also have a cat, so I'm comfortable with animals of all kinds. I'm active and love getting outside, so walks and playtime are my favorite part. I'll send photo and video updates so you can see how your dog is doing. I'm happy to follow your dog's routine for food, meds, and walks. I'm home on weekends, so your dog stays with me and gets my full attention, not hours alone. I stick to your routine for meals, walks, and potty breaks, and I'll send photo updates throughout the stay. Evenings are for relaxing together at home. I also have a cat, so your dog would be sharing the space with one. My home is calm and comfortable, and your dog stays with me for the whole weekend, so they get lots of attention. I ask owners to bring their dog's food, bed, and favorite toys so things feel familiar, and I follow your routine for meals, medications, walks, and potty breaks. Your dog gets regular walks and playtime, and I send photo updates throughout the stay. I have a cat, so I do a quick meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure everyone's comfortable. If anything comes up, I'll contact you right away and follow your vet and emergency instructions

About: I have raised my 2 dogs for 11 years now. I make sure to keep my dogs happy and healthy everyday by providing daily exercise and spending lots of time with them! I currently have two dogs at home, they are friendly so any dog is welcome! I am a college student so outside of holidays my parents will help care for your pups!. During boarding we will always have someone home to watch your dog, and make sure they receive the love and affection they deserve throughout the whole day. I make sure every dog who comes to my house is happy and has a great time! Your dogs will be treated with full care all day! They will get daily walks and have a fenced yard outside to play in or be let out every couple of hours. I will make sure to match their normal feeding schedule as well. Daily photos and videos will be sent to you!

“She was wonderful with all three of my dogs! She took the time to come by the day before to meet them, learn their routine, and make sure everyone was comfortable before the check-in. I really appreciated the extra effort and communication. Knowing she had already met them gave me peace of mind while I was away. Everything went smoothly, and I would definitely book with her again!”
