“We love Meghan!!! She took such great care of our kitties and sent so many pictures. Mochi and Moony were very lucky boys to have Meghan stop by while we were away!”

“Sean cared for my two cats over the course of a week. While my cats are usually standoffish, they liked him very much. I would hire him again.”

Amy C.

“Becky took excellent care of my boys while I was out of town for several days. She communicated all concerns and let me know how they were doing each visit. She provided lots of photos and made me feel better about being away from my pups.”

Jadee S.

“Christina was wonderful with Presby! She goes over and above to allow Presby to sit in the screened-in porch during the visit, Christina picked up a package that was delivered at the front door and even took our recycling bin to/from the alley on pickup day, which we truly appreciate. Presby has been a contented kitty under Christina's care! We feel Christina deserves a 6-star review!”

About: I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family since I was old enough to drive, and I’ve loved every minute of it! From walking and feeding to bathing and playtime, I make sure each pet feels cared for and happy while their owners are away. I treat every pet like my own and always aim to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. I work part-time, so my schedule is wide open during the week and I’m also available on weekends! Whether you need a weekday walk or weekend pet sitting, I’m flexible and happy to help whenever you need me. I treat every pet like they’re my own, and I’m always attentive to their unique needs. I understand how important your pets are, which is why I focus on their comfort, safety, and happiness while you’re away. If you're looking for someone who’ll shower your pets with love and give them plenty of attention, I’d be honored to take care of them!

“Excellent pet sitter! One of the best! Great with the dogs and always on time. Great communication! Would highly recommend! We will use this sitter again!!!”

About: Dog care has been a well known trade of mine for over 15 years. I am best with smaller-medium dogs, unless your big dog is a good walker! You can thank my sister’s lab for that last comment LOL. I am studying law, so I have flexible summers. My only job is remote, so I am able to work often. I do not plan to leave the Columbia area for long periods of time this summer. While my home is already occupied by my three cats, I will do whatever you feel necessary to respectfully watch your pets in your home. I offer zoom/skype/FaceTime calls during my stay if you ever want to see how your pet is doing!

“Heather is so great! She took wonderful care of my two cats and gave them so much love and attention. She always detailed the visits with pictures and comments. I have one very shy cat, but he was able to get him to warm up to in her by the second drop-in. That’s a gift to be able to do that so quickly.”

“Natalie came and let our dogs out while we were away for two days, and the boys loved her! She was very attentive and took great care of them. We will definitely be reaching back out to her again in the future!!”

About: Love living in the area, I have always enjoyed spending time outside in all seasons. On any kind of day, I would love to give your family member a walk/run in the neighborhood or at a nearby park/path or whichever they prefer to get some fresh year and exploration through the smells/sights. For the playful pup, I love to run around and play with them until the sun goes down. I have experienced many years with easy and difficult dogs as being a pet owner myself, finding love and care for all creatures all life from dogs all the way to my 3-year-old goldfish. I can not wait to meet your furry family member and give them all the pets and love they fully deserve!

“Thank you!”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I have experience training puppies and reactive dogs. I’m a strong believer in positive reinforcement, so I would love to reward your furry friend for great behavior! My availability changes frequently due to my job. Please check in about your specific dates if you’re interested! I am available the full week of 8/12 I offer services in your home where your dog will feel most comfortable. As a dog mom myself, I understand wanting frequent updates and am more than happy to send pictures and updates!

About: AVAILABLE for 2 dogs Easter Weekend. Dogs MUST be house trained and good with cats. Rover says "What sets you apart from other sitters?" My answer is simple. Geriatric and Special Needs Care. While I will happily accept ALL dogs under 30lbs, I specialize in elderly pets/special needs pets who don't do well in boarding situations and need extra care throughout the day. I'm well versed in administering oral medication, injections, and even subcutaneous fluids as needed. I am available 24hrs a day for potty breaks and medication routines. I am currently the only sitter in Columbia certified through the Professional Animal Care Certification Council, a 3rd party certification. This means they do not offer any classes or teaching, only offer the test which costs around $400. I am also a member of the International Boarding & Pet Services Association, and the International Association of Canine Professionals. I carry Pet Sitting Insurance as well. All in all, I love pets of all ages and sizes. The older ones, the smaller ones and the ones who need just a little extra care have my heart a little more. I have open availability for the following pups: all pups under 30 lbs, elderly pets of any size, and special needs pets. I am home most of the day; when I am not, my husband is available to feed/medicate as needed. Please note - I am only available for 30-minute Drop-In services during the following hours: 5 a.m.—5:30 a.m., 11 a.m.—1 p.m., and 7 p.m.—9 p.m. I am only available for 1hr drop-in services during the following hours: 11 am - 12:30 pm & 7 pm - 9 pm Next, Rover asks me how I care for pets in my home. My home schedule: so you can know how pets fit into my daily or weekly routine! I work 35 to 37 hours a week at a pet facility I have managed for 9 years. My 2 daily shifts are roughly 4 hours each, with a 4-hour break between, getting me home around 6:15 pm each day. I can do drop-in appointments during that break and after 6 p.m. Tuesdays - Saturdays. Sundays and Mondays are my typical days off work, meaning I can do more drop-ins on those days! I typically have extra availability on Wednesday afternoons as I have a short work day. I am a homebody, so whenever I am not at work, you can usually find me at home relaxing with my dogs in our 'dog' room watching Netflix, reading a book, or visiting with my chickens on the farm. Your pup would be right there along with us, relaxing and getting all kinds of love. I offer overnight stays in my home specifically for: elderly pups, pups under 30lbs of all ages, and pups with special needs who would not do well in a boarding facility. Your pups would be the center of attention in the house while they were here. They would -not- interact with my younger/larger pups, as I have some rambunctious youngins. They may interact with my cats if they are comfortable with cats, as well as my smaller, calmer pups for company if your pup is comfortable with that. I have a 'dog room' at home with a large couch for relaxing and reading or gaming/watching Disney+ on our large screen TV, an echo dot that will play calming classical music while I am out of the room, and a padded, carpeted floor. When we aren't hanging out in that room, our house has hardwood floors with many rugs to keep paws stable, and tons of dog beds(of all sizes) scattered around for comfort. For potty times, I have a spacious fenced-in yard with plenty of shade. If your pup is fairly mobile and enjoys water, I also have a water feature on the property that we can walk down to and enjoy. Meal times are at your pets schedule! I make sure to follow any feeding and medication schedules you provide. My husband works from home, so if I am delayed due to a drop-in or being caught in traffic from work, he can let the pups out to potty or give time-sensitive medications/feedings. Pups are crated, or placed in a separate room for Meal times and during Potty rotations to ensure no one gets too rowdy and no one becomes aggressive over their food.

“Dogs loved her. On time every day. Sent pictures of the dogs routinely. Will most definitely use her services again.”
