“My cat that is very shy loves Heather! Heather is reliable and takes great care of Charli.”
“Tabatha and her family were very good with my baby Jett. Jett is an only child in an all-adult household, it takes time for him to get comfortable in a new home, but Tabatha's family made him comfortable his 1st night in their home. My husband and I were very happy and had peace of mind knowing he's in great hands. We will definitely be going back to Tabatha next time we need to board Jett. Thank you, Tabatha, from the bottom of our hearts!”

About: I've been a cat owner for most of my adult life. I have always loved dogs as well and will keep your pet safe and happy while you are away. I have plenty of time to play, care or walk your pet. My schedule is open most days and weekends are not an issue for me. I would prefer to do drop in visits, or walks around the block. My cat is friendly, but not accustomed to other pets. I could let her be in her own room if needed. I do have a nice back yard but it is not fenced in.
“Makayla was amazing during checkers (my cats) stay with her. She was so sweet to him and made him a home away from home. She sent pictures every day and updated me throughout the day. I will definitely book again.”
About: I have grown up around animals. I have had cats and dogs.I currently live with two dogs. I truly love all types of animals 🤍 I can be available for housesitting as well as pet sitting as this allows me to be more flexible while still working my full-time job. (Mon-Fri 8:30-5:00). I currently have Saturday and Sundays off so I can be available in the early morning, afternoon, and evenings. I can not offer availability in my home at this time but at the clients house I would make sure the animal is comfortable with me first. I would make sure of they don't have a fenced in area that they are on a leash and make sure they have plenty of exercise and cuddles before I leave!
“She was definitely a delight to have watch over our fur babies! Not only does she take good care of our babies and send us good pictures, but you can clearly see our babies enjoyed her company. We will definitely be using Ellen again in the future thank you, Ellen.”
“Kyia did amazing with Kila! Even though my baby is not a baby anymore she can be a sassy old girl. She was great with her. Her report cards were great to read while I was on vacation (and the pics too).”
“Very happy with Katelyn. I highly recommend her”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. My previous job was at a boarding facility attending to all 50+ dogs there at any given time. Now I study and practice animal care/behavior full time. I do charge 10$ for meet and greets. Request I Take -reactive dogs -extremely anxious dogs -old dogs -and of course well behaved dogs OVERNIGHTS Meet and greets are preferred but not necessary if the dog is smaller than 80lbs. Dogs heavier than 80lbs and reactive require a meet and greet first. I promise I will help you if you have no one to watch your loved one because they have an attitude. Please feel free to contact me with any question about overnight concerns or specifics. My weekly routine is taking care of animals.I have the whole week or day for a walk, check-in, or overnights, I will make sure your dog gets exercise if needed and goes out plenty. I’m actually learning to become an animal behaviorist and treat taking care of other peoples animals as I would taking care of my own animals. I would always make sure the safety of your dog and others comes first when walking or treating your dog.
About: I've grown up with a yorkie (family dog). Within the last year I adopted a dog of my own. He's a black lab/australian shepherd mix who has become my best friend. He's unfortunately living with my parents for the summer which is why I'm hoping to hangout with some furry friends! I'm currently in Peoria to train and play soccer! I'm hoping to start a part-time job soon, but I'd love to hangout with some pets and help out some owners in the meantime! I cannot care for pets at my apartment because it does not allow pets, but I am open to other options! I love going on walks and staying active!

About: I’ve taken care of my parents dogs ever since I’ve been 15, playing going on walks, feeding, taking out. I now have my own two doggies at home, one who is willow girl which is a Boykin/Lab and then Pedro who was a rescue that just showed up here and became family- he is a mutt but we love him! I work full time monday thru Thursday and half days Fridays so being able to be home with the other pups until we get home is wonderful if your puppy goes in a crate when you leave for work we can accommodate that but if not they would have free range of the house, once we get home though we have plenty of play time and even like to do an evening play time outside, if that works for the doggy though! Weekends I have clear availability I have a house the dogs can roam around, I have a back porch that can be gated and huge backyard for the dogs to play, it is unfortunately not fenced yet. Plenty of space to play fetch etc in the house, and dogs are welcome on furniture- couch, beds.
About: I’ve had pets of all different shapes and sizes. I’ve had hermit crabs, hamsters, cats, dogs, bunnies, and the list goes on! I love animals & have experience taking care of elderly dogs requiring medications & specialized foods. I currently have my dog nugget! I currently have a work from home job that provides extreme flexibility and can accommodate to fit your schedule. I live and stay in Myrtle beach, and can pop in with little notice. I can take careful consideration to make sure I meet the needs of each & every individual pet. I can take care of any walking, crating, feeding, etc.
About: hey y'all, I'm Brianna, I am 22 years old.I live in Conway and just graduated from Coastal. I have had animals my whole life! I have a corgi named Scarlett! She’s the cutest. I am comfortable with cats and dogs of any age from puppies to seniors! I understand that every dog is different and has their own needs. I always think that animals are here to be loved, supported, and have a happy and healthy life. I have a reliable source of transportation as well as a flexible schedule. if I am staying in your home, I will leave it better than I found it. more than comfortable with dog parks but also understand that dog parks are not for every dog. willing to bathe the dogs. I do have a job but it is easy to work around it. As long as I know ahead of time, I can also work from home! I am completely comfortable with anything that you typically do in your day to day with your animals. I feel like animals should always stick to their schedules even if their owners are not there.
