Julie was a great first experience with Rover! She was very nice, professional, and even took the time to meet our dog before our trip. She arrived right on schedule and made sure our pup was fed and given her medication exactly as instructed. She was incredibly sweet and patient with our nervous dog, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away.

About: Enthusiastic dog lover who loves long walks with furry friends! I’ve been a dog owner for 11 years and truly adore animals. Reliable, patient, and dedicated to keeping your pup happy, active, and safe with walks and in-home care. I’m a student at the College of the Charleston who is home for the summer with a very flexible schedule, so I’m available throughout the day for walks and drop-in visits. Pet care easily fits into my daily routine, and I’m able to give pets consistent attention, exercise, and care whenever they need it. I am available for dog walking and in-home pet care. I will give your pet(s) tons of love and attention. I am happy to share photos and updates throughout my visit. It is imperative for your pet to feel comfortable around somebody new, therefore I am more than happy to set up a meet and greet before any of my services so that you and your fur-baby are at ease. I have administered my dog's medication when needed, and I am open to taking on that responsibility with dogs in my care if need be. I am happy to provide references upon request.

About: Previous owner of two small dogs who lived to 16 and 13. Have experience with a dog with intense medical needs (epilepsy) and have administered medication previously. Have experience in dog and cat care through volunteering at an animal shelter (Pawmetto Lifeline, SC). Currently free for the summer time (weekdays 11am-6pm) as I am an educator. Would be open to doing weekend work (also 11-6pm) once school begins. Since I have experience working with a special needs dog, I understand the importance of timeliness and attention to detail. I have a pet family of my own, and know the stress that can come with someone else taking care of them. I am someone who triple checks all leashes and harnesses before leaving, be it for a dog or a cat. My home is not open for pet sitting due to my cats, but I am more than willing to drop-in and make sure your pet family has their needs being met.

About: I live alone at a fenced home in Pineville with my two Japanese Chin toy breed dogs, Yuki (12) and Suki (7). I know how important your dogs are to you and will do my best to make sure that they are safe and attended to like my own while having an enjoyable experience. Dog care is currently my only focus right now as I am in between jobs. Dogs will receive 100% of my attention. I already have a daily routine with my two dogs. I own a fenced home and yard with two other toy breed Japanese Chin dogs who live at the home with me. My dogs are used to other dogs coming to the home. It will therefore be positive, interactive, and playful. Dogs are allowed on furniture and the bed.

Had a great experience with Megan! From the meet-and-greet to every visit, she was communicative, reliable, and clearly cared about our dog. Her updates were detailed and reassuring, and it was obvious our dog got plenty of exercise, attention, and love. We always felt informed and knew he was in great hands. We'll definitely book with her again and highly recommend her!

When Christine & Andrew visit my kitties they always make an effort to spend time with them even though they are a bit shy. Shadow immediately took to Christine and loves getting belly rubs. They even go the extra mile to make sure that Marmalade, the neighborhood ginger cat that spends most of his time outside my house or somewhere nearby, gets fed every day while I'm away. They are reliable, nice people that love animals and I highly recommend them.

This was my first time finding a sitter and someone we trusted to take care of our cats while we were out of town. Rover and Cerys made me feel at ease and the process very easy. Cerys was wonderful! She took very good care of my fur babies, she kept in communication the whole time. She sent pictures and played with my babies. I even ran out of cat food and she able to pick up more for me. I highly recommend Cerys! We will be booking with her again.
