Nima did a fantastic job walking our Oli and I highly recommend her. She is punctual, professional, and extremely loving to all of our pets! Nima was also flexible with scheduling and willing to accommodate our (Oli’s) needs when we needed to modify the booking. She was also extremely patient when our Oli was being stubborn on walks or potty breaks, which we greatly appreciated, especially the photos of their walks when he was serving serious diva face! 😂 We will definitely be utilizing her services again in the future and cannot recommend her enough!

About: Since the age of 15, I’ve been caring for my neighbors’ dogs, building a lifelong passion for animals. Over the years, I’ve worked in several professional pet care facilities, gaining invaluable experience. However, I realized I wanted to provide the same level of personalized care I’d expect for my own pets. That’s why I decided to set out on my own, offering compassionate, tailored care for every furry friend I meet. I currently have an open schedule and can accommodate most requests. I only will take one owners pets at a time in my home so please keep this in mind if you need boarding services. I have a large fenced yard with 3 sides blocked by buildings giving dogs a safe secure place to exercise and relax. I also live near Branchbrook park for longer walks. When taking care of pets in your home my goal is be as non intrusive and respectful as possible. I'm happy to follow any requested procedures to ensure your full comfort.

About: I always look forward to watching the pets of family & friends. Love dogs! As a passionate pet lover, I have spent a lot of my life caring for pets of all ages and needs. I have owned some dogs over the years and have experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, and sick senior dogs. Additionally, I am often tasked with taking care of my family's pets. Whether feeding, walking, playing, or administering medication, I have the experience, responsibility, and attention to ensure your pet is happy, healthy well-cared for. With me as your pet sitter, you can rest easy knowing your furry friend is great. Currently, I'm just studying from home. So I can always take care of the pet, and provide food and exercise at times determined by the owners. As soon as the pet arrives, I ensure that it has good accommodation, such as water and food, and that everything is following what was suggested by the owners. Indoor play programs and I take them for walks. The floors are disinfected regularly for everyone's health. All indoor and outdoor areas are spray disinfected with a veterinarian-formulated, EPA-registered cleaner to inhibit a broad spectrum of virus-causing pathogens, including SARS and COVID-19. We have comfortable daycare bedding that is also washed and disinfected daily for safety and comfort. Features & Benefits of our OUTDOOR Play Spaces for Dogs and Puppies: Pet-friendly K9 grass, a specialty artificial turf, allows for regular disinfection and prevents muddy paws for cleanliness and safety; Wide open area with tall fencing enables dogs to safely run and explore without distractions; Sturdy pet-friendly non-porous play structures are cleaner and more comfortable than wood

About: Hi, I’m Aria✨ I’m a JC local who enjoys long walks at the park (with your dog). My love for animals started when I volunteered to dog-walk and help find dogs a home at an SPCA in Charleston, SC for 3 yrs. Since then, I’ve been taking care of my family, friends, and neighbors dogs :) I’ll only confirm a dog-walk and dog sitting shift if I’m working from home and can guarantee I can be present with your fur baby •Affection (dogs love company that make them feel comfortable and loved). I’m always sure to make them feel seen and cared for. It can be tough on them being away from their caregiver. So affection goes a long way. •Making sure they’re fed & hydrated (always attending them according to their usual/specific routine).

About: I’ve cared for puppies and elderly dogs. I have comforted, cleaned and cared for dogs of all sizes. I loved taking my family dogs to the dog park or trail. I currently work part time so I can take your dog to their favorite place. Also care for your dog if they need company during a rainy or noisy day (fireworks). IYKYK I start by scanning the premises to take preventative measures for any hazards. I will also make sure the dog is within my sight at all times.

About: I take care of animals since I use to live in the Dominican Republic. I have owned pets since I was very little, you won’t be disappointed. I know it’s hard to leave your best friend with a total stranger sometimes I feel my dog understands me more than my husband and kids do. I know that our pets become part of then family trust me I know. I feel so safe with my dog around. You won’t have to worry about your pet. I’m a stay at home mom but my kids are in school. I have plenty of time to walk your pet and play with them. I’m a very patience person and I know how to respect boundaries. People need to know that pets need there space too. I have a very sweet shin Tzu. His name is Buddy his very friendly and loves to play. I know it sounds weird but his very respectful of other dogs. So I think he’ll be great fur friend.

Marli has been taking our dog on weekly walks for several months and she has house-sat for us on multiple occasions as well. She has been absolutely wonderful to work with since Day 1. She is quick to respond, always prompt, and most importantly, our dog really enjoys spending time with her. We have a large dog that has medical needs and she can sometimes be difficult when getting to know new people. Marli demonstrated tremendous patience and kindness with her and she was able to gain her trust as a result. We are incredibly grateful for that. We would HIGHLY recommend Marli to anyone looking for a kind, passionate, and highly communicative caretaker for their pet. Thanks Marli :)

About: I have a strong fondness for dogs and cats! Although I didn't have pets at home while growing up, I thoroughly enjoyed spending time at the homes of my family, friends, and neighbors, caring for and playing with their dogs. I work remotely. My schedule is very flexible, and I can walk or play with your dog or cat in the morning, afternoon, and early evening. When caring for pets, whether in my own home or a client's, I prioritize their well-being and comfort. I ensure a safe environment, regular feeding, ample water, and scheduled walks or playtime. Additionally, I follow any specific care instructions provided by the owner and maintain clear communication with the owner regarding the pet's behavior and health. I strive to create a nurturing and loving atmosphere, making sure the pets feel at ease and cared for during their time with me.
