About: I have grooming, training, & boarding experience. I’m experienced in administering medications; pills, eye drops, shots, etc. Animals are my peace so I’d love to give a peace of mind to others😊 I’m available full time, there are currently 6 dogs & 2 cats in my house & the pups get outside about 3-5 times a day depending on the weather. I also have a 3 year old whos with me 3 days out of the week. I have a fenced in yard, all of my pups & my sisters are crated when not supervised. I would prefer crates brought when staying with me just for safety reasons! & if I were to watch your pup in your hone they’d get the same love & care they receive from you😊

“Helen was great! She took great care of my dog and my parent's energetic dog. She took them for walks and hung out with them inside for a little while before she left because it was so hot out. Helen also made sure they had a full water bowl before she left. Will definitely be reaching out to her again!”

“We have used Talen to walk our senior boy Marco for several months now. She is punctual, reliable, kind, and always gets the job done above and beyond. We are grateful to have her help!!”

About: I have over 8 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. As a pet owner myself, I’ve had multiple dogs and have provided pet sitting services for countless dogs and cats over the years. I have experience with puppies, senior pets, and animals that require medication or extra attention. The most I’ve cared for at one time is two dogs and two cats, so I’m comfortable managing multiple pets while ensuring each one receives the care and attention they deserve. I genuinely love animals and have the flexibility to provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care for your pets while you’re away. Over the next few months, I’ll be out of school, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m available throughout the week and on weekends to accommodate your pet care needs, whether it’s drop-in visits, walks, or overnight care! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special care instructions so they feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I treat every home with respect, keep a clean environment, and make sure doors, gates, and other safety measures are always secure. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have a dog of my own, so I know exactly what it takes to keep a pet happy and healthy. For the past few years, I’ve been the go-to guy in my neighborhood and family for watching dogs and cats whenever people go out of town or have a long day at work. Whether your pet is a high-energy dog who needs a long run to tire them out, or a chill cat who just wants someone to hang out with and handle feeding time, I’ve got it covered. Because I'm young and active, I have tons of energy for long walks, playing fetch, and making sure your pet gets all the attention they need. I currently don't have a job so my schedule is on a day to day basis. I would be able to easily fit your pet into my schedule. Safety is my number one priority. Having my own dog, I know how important it is to double-check gates, keep a firm grip on the leash, and follow your exact feeding rules. I’m very respectful of your home and will make sure your pet feels totally safe and comfortable with me.

About: I have had pets in my home since I was a child. I had a senior dog I took care of for six years. I am very comfortable with dogs at all stages or any handicaps. I am home throughout the day and all evening with a flexible schedule. My home is relaxing with plenty of space. The fenced in yard is big and a pile of perfect sticks are waiting to be played with. The neighborhood is away from main roads and safe. I do have cameras in the home to keep an eye on things if I run errands. I have a fenced in large yard for safety if your furry friend stays here. I also have a private inside area if they need some downtime. I only have a couple steps into the home. If I visit them then all rules are strictly adhered too. I provide a lot of love and care, making sure they are calm, happy and safe. I tend to care for 4-6 dogs at a time. Many are high energy so your dog should be comfy with that environment. Lazy, sleepy dogs do well with it. I love to have Meet&Greets. I want you to feel comfortable with my space. If it turns out you are not on board 100%, I understand and have no hard feelings. The safety and happiness of your pet is everyone’s focus. Taking care of pets is my full time job so I am home based. I have a couple day care dogs during the work week and spend most of my day with them. I will follow through with your training and rules. Pets are spoiled with attention. I have a box of toys and treats for them. I will provide photos and videos plus regular updates.

“Anna did an amazing job walking my 2 dogs!! She made sure to put on their harnesses for each walk and sometimes even their coats when it got very cold! As we talked about, Anna made sure to adjust the lengthen of the walks based on the puppy dogs energy and cold weather!! I would definitely ask Anna to walk my 2 dogs again!!”

About: Ever since I was little, my family has owned dogs! We currently have two adorable miniature pinschers, one of whom I trained as a puppy to sit, lie down, and stay. I’m a huge animal lover! I’ve taken care of all sorts of dogs, from Anatolian Shepherds to Chihuahuas, and a handful of cats. I am punctual, reliable, and I enjoy sending videos and pictures of your fur-babies! Note: If you’d like to learn a bit more about my love for dogs outside of Rover, I have an instagram account dedicated to my two dogs. It’s called: poochinimuttroom As a student, I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. Any day of the week, I’m available at some time in the morning, midday, afternoon, or evening. I have regular and long openings in my schedule where I’d love to walk/take care of your pet! My dogs at home get the princess treatment, and your pet will be no exception. I’m used to always being around my dogs, they love to cuddle and be close to me. Whether your pet prefers snuggles or just a good walk, I’ll make sure they feel cared for and checked in on during every scheduled visit. Any instructions will be followed very closely and the house will always be exactly as you left it.

“We feel so lucky to have found Cara! From the very first walk, it was clear that she genuinely cares about Kevin and treats him like one of her own. Kevin absolutely lights up when she arrives! Cara is reliable, communicative and always goes the extra mile - whether sending the sweetest photo updates, or taking the time to give him a little extra love and play. Knowing he’s in such caring hands brings us so much peace of mind. It’s such a comfort knowing Kevin is not just walked, but truly cared for. Cara’s kindness, energy, and attention to detail make all the difference. We can’t imagine a better person to trust with our Kevin! Thanks Cara 🩷”

About: I have found that dogs prefer to be in their own envirement when their owner's are away, so most of my jobs are from repeat clients and referrals for in home stays. Your pet stays in their own environment which is less stressful. As requested by you, we go on walks, mini hikes, car rides, sleep in bed with them, just lounge and watch TV, administer special diets or medicines, drop off at another relative, etc. I am flexible. Your house stays safe with someone home, mail and newspapers picked up, etc. One client always has contractors over for their large remodel. I first became a dog sitter for my 2 grandpups, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels a boy and a girl. My daughter may be the most demaning, pickiest, list of rules person in the world. Her dogs are her children and I know yours are too. So please if you feel bad about leaving them, if you have a weird request I will understand. Since I am semi-retired I have more flexibility as well. I have had dogs who needed me to sit on the floor with them while they eat, want to sleep in same bed as me, constantly want to sit on my lap or next to me. I understand the power of treats, their special toys and love! It's stressful when the owners are away, but I am here to fill that void. Rest assured, I can send you updates as needed. Whether it's a daily overview from the visits on email, quick text and/or picture from the visit, quick phone call, just let me know. If you need to meet up prior to engagement we can, If you have a longer term request we can work out a discount as well. Let me know how I can help you out and make this less stressful for you and your loved one!

“Taylor was very understanding and acommodating with several last minute schedule changes that came up on my end. She sent photo updates and was great at communicating how everything went with our pup. Will definitely be utilizing her services again!”

About: I grew up on a farm caring for many types of animals including dogs, cats, horses and other farm animals. Now, I care for my own dog and pet sit for family and friends. I work from home, with a flexible work schedule. This allows me to be available most days and times during the week to care for your pets. I will give your pet the care and love that I give my own dog. I will provide safe, fun and loving care for your pets.

“Kylie was amazing! She helped us out by giving our dogs some exercise while we were away for the weekend. The pups loved her, and she took many great pictures, providing updates throughout the weekend. :) We couldn't thank her more and highly recommend Kylie. Punctual, quick to respond, friendly, pups loved her”

About: I started working with animals 8 years ago as a volunteer at a rescue barn. I've volunteered with about 3 other rescues and shelters, from walking dogs to monitoring health conditions. I just want to show all those little furry family members the love they deserve, and make sure they can be well taken care of if you are unable or temporarily absent. I currently only work 7-2 on weekends. Otherwise, I'm wide open and would love to run and play with your pets! We love treats and I'm a quick learner. Your routine, becomes my routine. I prefer to get a play by play of each animal's daily life at home so I can most relate their stay with me in my home to it. From feeding times to walking times and even play times, I love to have a set schedule to make all our lives easier. Of course flexibility is a must, and I'm happy to follow any needs that are seen fit because the animal's well being is top priority.

About: My parents owned a kennel growing up, so I have always have been comfortable working and taking care of a variety of animals. When I got older, I would petsit for friends, family members and neighbors. I have also volunteered with my local Humane Society since I was 13. I'm currently attending Furman University and my schedule is very open during the week and weekends. Because pet care has always been a part of my daily schedule, I will always ensure that your pet is receiving the best possible care. I can adapt my style of care to cater towards the owner's needs and wants for their pet. I love to spend time with every pet and make sure they don't feel alone.
