Dog Walking in Sumter

“Christy is the best, what can we say? Goose Loves and trusts her. She came into our lives during a very hard time for us. I am dealing with nerve damage from an infection so I'm mostly immobile and she has been so reliable and kind! 10/10!”

“Bless her heart, she took my big old treeing walker coon hound for a walk and he didn't want to come home after 30 mins so she walked him for another 50 minutes! He was too big for her to force home, but he eventually got tired and came home without fuss. I'm so grateful to her for being so flexible and patient with him!”

About: I've got over 22 years of pet ownership and vet assistant skills under this belt. Im open to any pet be they canine, feline, avian, reptile, or amphibians- young or old. Allow me to set your mind at ease while traveling with frequent check ins and adorable pictures of your loved ones. Can medicate as needed with instructions provided. I'm retired Airforce so availability is flexible, and boarding will become available in the future after home repairs from 🌀 Helene. I can accommodate days, night or holiday shift schedules as required. I have two runner cables in my backyard and any animals will be kept separate from my own if boarded due to an isolated bedroom. Any care instructions provided will be followed to the letter and will be discussed thoroughly beforehand. Videos and pictures given every drop in or walk.

About: I'm Alise and I've been an avid dog lover since I was a kid. I have had the opportunity to start dog sitting many years ago and fell in love. I have continued my passion for pets and pet sitting through Rover. I have a 3-year old Wire Fox Terrier rescue and he loves playing with other dogs! Having a rescue I understand the extra TLC they need to feel loved and welcome in an unfamiliar home setting. We do our best to make your pup feel like he/she is at home. My husband and I are travelers and know the stress of finding trustful pet sitters. I will make sure that your pet is treated like our own and update you with pictures while you are away. If you are looking for a trustworthy, reliable sitter, you have found your person!

About: I have cared for dogs all ages. From puppies to elder. I even have a few furs myself. I love animals and will treat them with the upmost care I am off on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Sundays and Mondays. I work part time also flexible with animal care parents on those days off if need be. I have an outside kennel, a decent back yard area for little walks and play time. I have an extra inside cage that holds up to medium size animals. They are cleaned every use with kennelsol because animal safety is very important. I will ask what the of dog food you prefer for your pet this way they can stay on any diet they are on. I won’t need any animal bowls unless you wish to bring them for the animal. I will go and get them personal use bowls for their stay and future stays if willing to use services again.

About: I was a veterinary assistant for more than seven years and have been grooming cats and dogs, professionally, for fifteen years. I've dedicated my life to caring for animals of all shapes and sizes! I'm comfortable with cats and dogs of all ages, as well as: fish, hamsters, Guinea pigs, reptiles, and some exotics. I am capable in administering medications and am very detailed oriented. I feel that it's much more beneficial, when applicable, for pets to stay in the comfort of their own home as opposed to boarding away from home. I fully understand and appreciate the vast differences between cats and dogs and cater to each species' individual needs. I love my job so much that I often joke that I should be paying to go to work! I am currently working full time, so I'm limited to no more than two, 30-minute drop in sessions per day. The morning session is between the hours of 7am and 8am, and the evening session is between 7pm and 9pm. In addition to feeding your pets, disposing of their waste, playtime, and of course back scratches and belly rubs, I also offer bringing in your mail, watering plants, and curbing the garbage bin. I also offer full service in-home grooming services, ask for more details (small dogs/cats only, rabies vaccination required).

About: I’ve worked with animal rescue and worked in pet stores for 5+ years and naturally have a connection with animals and I enjoy building bonds with different animals I’m currently new to the area and looking into new prospects, and i keep my availability open and updated. I love working with the animals and im hoping to be able to find that here I have registered training in dog behavior and dietary needs, I also have had years of experience in farm handling and I am very confident in studying animal behavior. I know basic knowledge in animal health and what to look out for and how to bandage minor wounds

“Angela did a great job of communicating and taking care of my dog. 10/10!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my background as a veterinary assistant and my years of experience in pet sitting. I currently work in an emergency veterinary clinic, which has given me a strong foundation in handling a wide variety of medical situations with calmness and confidence. I’m skilled in senior pet care, medication administration, and monitoring for signs of illness or stress—especially important for pets with chronic conditions. I'm also experienced with puppies and understand how to support them through house training, socialization, and routine-building using positive reinforcement. When it comes to cats, I’m particularly attentive to their unique needs and sensitivities. Whether it's managing stress in shy or senior cats, giving medications (including insulin or subcutaneous fluids), or simply understanding feline body language to ensure they're comfortable and secure, I prioritize creating a calm, cat-friendly environment. I know how to care for both the affectionate lap cats and the more independent or anxious types with patience and respect for their space. All of this allows me to offer pet care that is both compassionate and informed—tailored to each animal’s individual needs. I'm currently working full time but I work 3 days and am off for four. I would have plenty of time to spend with your babies and make sure that they receive the utmost amount of care. My two pups are very friendly and love to pawty with other pups when they can! My knowledge in first aid and cpr when it comes to pets (including rodents and reptiles) makes me feel ready for any situation.

About: I’ve been in the pet sitting industry for the last 6 years. Neighbors, friends and friends of friends have relied on me to watch their fur babies! I have experience with in home stays for up to a week at a time, walks, letting out, feeding and being there for play time! My schedule tends to be pretty flexible! I’m mostly available in the mornings, evening, and weekends. I’m also able to do in house stays with my part time job. Any detailed information on how I can best be of service for you and your pet is always helpful when getting to know your pets!

About: From the day I was born I’ve always had a dog in my life. They have and always will be a part of my family. I am experienced in taking care of dogs from young to mature and will always consider them a part of my family when they are in my care. I work part-time from home so I have plenty of availability all week. Because make my own work schedule, I can usually accommodate any time with enough notice!:) I have a fenced in back yard that allows for plenty of room to run around. My husband and I will be getting a puppy soon too!

About: Passionate about providing loving care for your furry friends! 🐾 I've volunteered at an animal shelter, showering deserving dogs and cats with affection, and have a lifetime of experience caring for my own beloved dogs. I've also enjoyed dog-sitting for friends and family. 😊 Devoting my time to my greatest passion: animal care! Joining Rover allows me to spend my days doing what I love most – providing loving and attentive care for your dogs. 🐾 Due to my townhouse living (no fenced yard), I only offer pet care services in your home.

Feel free to reach out and contact me for more information ! 🩷 I’m currently a freshmen in college but can work with your schedule as long as you can work with mine ! Weekends would preferably work better but I can work with you ! I currently do not accept at home sitting due to me not owning my own house. However when I get my own place I will !

About: As a dedicated animal lover with a family legacy of operating three successful boarding and grooming kennels in Maryland, I am passionate about providing exceptional animal care. With a decade of experience working at Countryside Kennels in Owings, MD, and Countrysides Pet Resort in Hughesville, MD, I developed a robust foundation in animal care. I then pursued a veterinary career, working for three years at Animal Eye Care. After relocating, I worked at Branches vet in Tifton, GA, and Southside Vet in Moultrie, GA. In 2021, I moved to Sumter, SC, and worked at Veterinary Medicine and Surgery in Lugoff, SC for three years. In addition to my veterinary experience, I operate a side business, At Your Service, offering house cleaning and pet sitting services since 2007. With my expertise in grooming and possession of necessary equipment, I am confident in providing exceptional care for your pets. My eleven-year-old child also shares my passion for animal care! Please consider my services for your pet care needs. Working remotely has given me the opportunity to prioritize Rover as my main source of income, allowing me to be more readily available to assist with pet care needs. I am committed to ensuring your pet's comfort and will take all necessary steps to achieve this goal. I am confident in my ability to assess your pet's behavior and provide a comfortable experience, allowing you to be at ease.

About: I have been a dog owner for 10 years, starting with 2 big cane corso’s and now an adopted lab mix! I’ve always had a big heart for animals. I volunteer when I can and did an internship with a local shelter where I received lots of quality training in veterinary and boarding care. I’m looking forward to meeting your own fur babies! I currently work very part time and spend a lot of my time at home with my own animals! I have a very flexible and open schedule to take care of whatever you need. I have one dog and 2 kitties that all coexist peacefully within our home. I used to have two other dogs that stayed with me for about a year due to their military parents! We all had a blast with them.

“Lindsey was great - she came by to meet and greet our high maintenance special needs dog and spent 2 hours trying to make him comfortable. She was great with Sadie for their walk! Very good with dogs!”

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats, disabled pets as well, and I’ve been doing it since I was young. Many family members and friends have relied on me to care for their pets and give them the love they need. I am currently in college, but I have a somewhat flexible schedule and I can make trips as needed. I work on campus as well, but I make my own schedule! I am comfortable in most homes, only requiring than in an overnight stay, a friend or family member stay the night with me the first night so that I may get settled and comfortable.

About: Worry less and come home to relaxed pets! My goal is to create a positive worry-free experience for you and your pets. I strive to keep you and your animals as comfortable as possible and develop positive relationships with you both. I offer all services, and keep my calendar as updated as possible. I am an animal lover with experience caring for small and large breed dogs, cats, birds, small animals, reptiles, and even farm animals. I promise to treat your babies as if they were my own. I do not have any breed/size preferences or restrictions for care in the owner's home. However, I do live in an apartment so I have some requirements for both boarding and daycare. If you are requesting a boarding or daycare service in my home: All dogs must walk on a leash well, be able to go up and down stairs well, and be comfortable encountering other animals/people on walks as I do not have a private yard. Dog barking must be kept to a minimum for the sake of being neighborly (Alert barking is fine but excessive barking may result in an extra fee OR you may be required to find other accommodations for your dog during our stay). It is also a MUST that all animals I host for boarding or daycare are at least tolerant of other animals (I have my own dog). My schedule is very flexible and I can accommodate pretty much any daily routine. I work a part time job 3-4 days a week but I will be transparent about my work schedule during our booking. During an average house sitting it is possible that I may be out of the house for 6 to 8 hours a day. If this does not suit your needs I'm willing to stay at your home a majority of our booking with proper consideration and compensation (this will be discussed before booking). If we book a daycare I will be present for the entire day (unless I had an emergency in which case you would be informed of the situation as soon as possible). My daycare availabiliy is limited as I do not like to leave pets alone during these types of bookings for any amount of time. For my boarding clients I try to be home as often as I can be. However, I do require that your pets be able to be alone for at least 4 hours so that I can get things done outside of the home. If your pet requires more time/attention (for whatever reason) I do offer a constant care rate. My constant care rate starts at $100 per night and goes up from there with multiple pets or higher needs/special instructions. Constant care can be booked for both in your home sitting and boarding at my home (although generally those who book constant care are doing so because their pet is senior or special needs and prefers to stay at their own home). If you are interested in constant care please try to book at least 2 weeks ahead of time so that I can let my job know I need that time off. I keep my calendar updated at least weekly, so I'm sure I can meet whatever your needs are. Please don't hesitate to reach out! I take my job very seriously and animal safety is my top priority. I promise to keep your pets not only on their normal routine but in their normal environments (if you book a house sitting). So when we meet I will ask you what a typical day looks like for them. Not only will I take caution around other people and animals while walking your pets, but all walks will be done in an area that your pet is familiar with. If you let me know that you are uncomfortable with me taking your pet for walks while boarding, I completely understand as walks in a new area may stress your pet. However, if walks are permitted by you while boarding I will take them on their daily walks in my own neighborhood as usual. I tend to send twice daily updates with photos (But you may request more if you'd like). I keep you as informed on everything as possible for the entire booking. In a boarding environment I will take even more caution while letting animals outside to potty/walk as I do not have a fenced in yard. This is why I require that all dogs arrive with their own leashes and collars or harnesses and all cats arrive in a cat carrier (unless they comfortably use a leash and harness). All doors to outside of both your home and mine will remain closed and caution will be taken as I enter or leave so that pets cannot run off. I look forward to hearing from you and cannot wait to book! Additional Information: *In terms of house sitting the rate listed is a flat fee to come and go freely (out of the house for anywhere between 6 and 8 hours). If you need to request that I am at the house with the pets more often that can be arranged for an additional cost. As stated previously my constant care rate starts at $100 (additional charges may be added depending on if you have other pets or if a higher level of care is required). *I would LOVE to look after pets that are not dogs or cats but pricing must be discussed through messages at this time as there are no pre-set settings for such currently. *Pricing for overnights can be negotiable if you have a big crew (A big crew to me is more than 5 pets). ✨I offer Boarding overnight and Daycare to all pets. I require that they walk well on a leash, you provide their own leash and a collar or harness, All cats are inside of a cat carrier upon arrival, they go up and down stairs well, and they are okay encountering other people or animals. Barking MUST be kept at a minimum for the sake of being neighborly. I will of course reiterate these things in our conversation when I receive a booking request. ✨ *I accept up to THREE Boarding & Daycare clients at a time. ALL dogs/cats must be good with other animals (even if they aren't playful they must be able to tolerate because I have my own dog). I can accommodate and separate pet(s) as needed. I am willing to host only your pet(s) for an additional fee (in this instance my own dog will be the only other animal present). If you have 3 pets of your own this additional fee will not be necessary because you'll already be using all 3 available spots.*
