And most of all my little guy trusted Susan!!! Recommend her 150% Won’t ever leave my boy with anyone except Susan!!”
“Samantha was wonderful with Jette. Jette is a husky/malamute mix, so he needs someone who understands high-energy, intelligent dogs with strong personalities—and Samantha handled him beautifully. She was attentive, patient, and communicative throughout the stay, and I could tell Jette was comfortable and well cared for. I really appreciated the updates and the care she put into making sure Jette’s needs were met. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her!”

Our pups felt right at home with Gage and Ann, quickly adapting and settling in for their vacation. It can be scary leaving your dogs with strangers, but Gage and Ann were immediately comfortable and kind, and so easy to work with from start to finish. We highly recommend them and will absolutely ask them to watch our dogs again in the future. Thank you so much, Gage and Ann!”

Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I am an expert on giving medication too from having a senior dog for many years! What sets me apart is my reliability, genuine love for animals, and the peace of mind I give owners knowing their pets are safe, comfy and happy.

“Kim was amazing. We lost track of time as first time parents and were lucky enough to book her just a few days before the holidays, for a lengthy stretch. She went above and beyond caring for our 2 cats. Always daily pictures with a note. She noticed when our anxious cat started stress licking and was able to use our diffuser to help provide some calming smells for them. She even set our trash out on the last day which was not expected. Could not recommend her more!”
“We booked last minute. It was our first time using Rover. Salena was great! She came over to visit our cat before we left and make sure everything was good to go. She did everything we asked and seemed to be great with our cat. He even cuddled her, which he never does with strangers. Would definitely book with Salena again if we need help min the future.”
“I needed a pet sitter last minute and was very nervous about using a sitter through an app versus someone I knew. Montana was absolutely amazing and kept me updated throughout her visits and even made sure it’s OK for my cat patches to go on the balcony before allowing her to do so. I highly recommend booking with her as she is amazing.”
About: I currently have the sweetest cat, however she has taught me how to deep clean the litter box, give her medicine, and cut her nails, and I would love to apply that knowledge to your baby!
About: I have two orange cats of my own and have been caring for them for the past two years, so I understand how unique and independent cats can be. I’m comfortable with feeding, cleaning litter boxes, giving medications, and making sure they get playtime and affection at their own pace. I also have 2 extra bedrooms incase of needing private space to warm up to eachother. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their cats as well, and I pride myself on being patient, reliable, and tuned in to each cat’s personality. My 2 are certainly so distinct 😅 Your cat will always feel safe, cared for, and loved with me!

“We couldn't be happier with the care Amanda provided for Alex and Fiji. Communication was wonderful from the start and she provided pictures periodically throughout the weekend. She was dependable and always on time. Amanda followed all feeding instructions perfectly, kept our home tidy, and sent wonderful photos that gave us total peace of mind while away. They warmed up to Amanda immediately. Should we have a need, we will definitely book with Amanda again!"”

“Manny and Jessica took great care of our babies while we were gone on a day trip. They kept us updated and sent us some pictures as well. We will definitely use their services again in the future! Thank you Manny and Jessica!”
“Stephany watched my 7 month old German Shepherd Ubba and she did an excellent job! She sent me videos periodically through out the day to let me know how he was doing. She has a great fenced in yard too so that was a huge plus for me. Ubba played with her kids and came home pooped which I loved! She is a great option if you are looking for someone to watch you dog.?”
“We are so happy we found Lorraine. She is amazing with our dogs. She is knowledgeable and caring. Her personality is warm and bubbly and she makes you feel right at home. Her home for doggie care is amazing. Thank you.”

“Diana did an amazing job taking care of our Boston Terrier, Charlie, for doggie daycare. Her place was super clean and had lots of space for him to run around and burn off energy, which is perfect for a dog like Charlie. She sent us regular photo and video updates, which we really appreciated—it was great to see him so happy and comfortable while we were away. It’s clear Diana genuinely loves animals and knows how to care for them. Charlie came home happy and tired (in a good way!). We’d definitely have him stay with Diana again. Already booked our next visit. Highly recommend!”
“We truly could not have asked for a better experience! The care and attention our little Dolly received was absolutely incredible, and it was clear from the start that she was in the best hands. The updates and the amazing photos meant the world to us. We loved seeing how happy, relaxed, and well loved our Dolly was. It gave us peace of mind knowing she was being treated like family. We are beyond grateful and would recommend Lauren to anyone.”
About: What truly sets me apart is the heart and hands-on experience I bring to every pet I care for. As someone who has raised and loved three dogs of my own, I understand firsthand the deep bond between pets and their people. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care — and I don’t take that lightly. My experience ranges from caring for energetic puppies to providing gentle support for senior dogs with special needs. I’ve handled everything from potty training and socialization to administering medications and creating calm routines for older pets. I’m attentive to each animal’s personality and comfort level, and I tailor my care to fit their individual needs. I don’t see this as just a job — I truly love animals, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. Whether it’s a long walk, a quiet cuddle, or simply being a calming presence while you’re away, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. Whether it’s sticking to a feeding schedule, giving medication, or just offering companionship, I’m happy to provide the same level of love and attention I give my own dogs. Pets in my home enjoy plenty of safe space to run and explore in my fenced half-acre yard. I give them lots of attention, exercise, and make sure to follow their individual routines to keep them happy and comfortable.

About: I’ve taken care and owned all kinds of animals since I was young, from hamsters, fish & birds to cats and dogs. I have several years experience dog and cat sitting alike and currently have a cat of my own. I also have experience administering oral and topical medication if needed. No ask is too much! I work from home, so house-sitting is no problem as long as I have wifi! I’m also flexible with drop-in visits because of my job. I’ve had several cats of my own and have lived with various dog breeds/sizes. I have experience with crate trained dogs as well.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience caring for pets in every stage of life and with a variety of unique needs. I’ve cared for newborn kittens, expecting mother cats, and senior cats with anxiety, so I understand the patience and individualized attention they require. I also have a special interest in large working breeds and enjoy providing the structure, enrichment, and care they thrive on. In addition to dogs and cats, I have experience caring for farm animals. I’m highly attentive, reliable, and committed to following your pet’s routine as closely as possible. Every pet is different, so I take the time to listen to your needs and provide flexible, personalized care to help both you and your pet feel comfortable and confident.

About: I've had the joy of having dogs and cats in my life for as long as I can remember, and over the years, I've also gained experience taking care of birds, bunnies, and chickens.

Pet care is an important part of my daily routine and something I genuinely enjoy.

About: Living on a farm back at home has given me a strong love for animals. My main goal when I’m around animals is to make sure they are comfortable and feeling safe. Pets are here to make us happy but I want the same for them as well! 💝 I am currently a full time student at the College of Charleston and start classes around 11pm everyday. I have breaks in the afternoon between classes and am done most days around 5, if not earlier. Morning, lunch, and evening would be how I would fit pet care into my daily routine. I want the pets i care for to feel comfortable with me in their home. I don’t want them to feel like I’m taking over their safe space and their territory. I want them to have trust with me.

About: 🐾 I’ve been caring for dogs for about 15 years and genuinely treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m a dog mom myself, so I know how stressful it can be trusting someone new with your baby. I’m big on communication and will always keep you updated with pictures, walks, meals, playtime and plenty of attention. I want you to be able to enjoy your trip or get through your workday without wondering whether your pet is okay. I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines and energy levels, and I’m happy to follow whatever schedule your pet is used to. Whether they want long walks and playtime or they’re happiest curled up getting attention, I’m here for it. 🐾 I am currently unemployed so I have a very flexible schedule. I can work around your time. I am also free on the weekends too. In my home, I create a warm and inviting environment where pets feel safe and loved. With plenty of playtime, regular exercise, and attention to individual needs, I ensure that each furry friend receives the utmost care and affection. I live in a townhouse but have a pet park next to me, where they can explore and interact with other furry friends, and I’m mindful of any dietary requirements or medications they may need. When caring for pets in their own homes, I understand the importance of maintaining their familiar surroundings. I follow your instructions meticulously, keeping to their routines, and providing consistent care. From feeding and grooming to exercise and cuddles, I treat your pets like they’re my own, ensuring their happiness and well-being while you’re away. Your pets’ happiness and comfort are my top priorities. With me, you can trust that your furry companions will receive exceptional care, attention, and love. Let’s discuss how I can provide the best care for your beloved pets!
“Great with Zulu! Nadia has been absolutely wonderful walking our standard poodle, Zulu. She keeps a great pace and covers a solid distance on every walk—which is exactly what Zulu needs to stay healthy and happy. You can tell she truly enjoys being with dogs, and Zulu always comes back from their outings relaxed and content. Nadia is punctual, professional, and communicative. Highly recommend her if you're looking for someone who treats your dog like their own and actually gets them moving!”
“My dog is fearful of any new people and Lorraine was so patient with him! She knew just what to do and is truly a dog lover. It is such a relief to know we have someone willing to work at our pups pace and comfort level.”

I studied and graduated as a veterinarian assistant from a votech high school. While In school we worked on dogs twice a week. Taking care of them included grooming, baths, exercise, feeding, giving medications, and sometimes just cuddles. A few days outta the year we would have birds, lizards, bunnies, or even horses. If you decide to book me just know your fluffy baby is my number one priority. I’ll take care of them as if they were my own!! I work part time overnight from midnight til about 4:30/5am and then the remainder of the day I am home with my son and animals. I take care of pets as if they were my own children. I like routines and I love cuddles. Does your pet have special care that’s ok I adapt to what is needed!

“Kailyn was amazing with our Ari! We got daily updates and she really kept Ari engaged during her stay while we were gone for Europe. Our dog Ari loved all the company she had at Kailyn’s home that she didn’t want to leave. I highly recommend Kailyn!”
“Samantha was wonderful with Jette. Jette is a husky/malamute mix, so he needs someone who understands high-energy, intelligent dogs with strong personalities—and Samantha handled him beautifully. She was attentive, patient, and communicative throughout the stay, and I could tell Jette was comfortable and well cared for. I really appreciated the updates and the care she put into making sure Jette’s needs were met. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her!”
“Since I have a very spoiled cat, she provided very special care for Meester! If Lorraine would accept my next trip for boarding I would be very appreciative! Thank you for providing excellent care!”
“We are so thankful to have found Gage and Ann. They are attentive from start to finish, always answering our questions and helping to reassure us that our dogs are in great hands. Our pups felt right at home with Gage and Ann, quickly adapting and settling in for their vacation. It can be scary leaving your dogs with strangers, but Gage and Ann were immediately comfortable and kind, and so easy to work with from start to finish. We highly recommend them and will absolutely ask them to watch our dogs again in the future. Thank you so much, Gage and Ann!”
“Brendalee and Ruben are an excellent choice of dog sitters Ellie enjoys her time with them and they were very attentive to her and maintained great communication with me. Definitely would rebook with them.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years. I speak fluent Spanish! I’ve raised my dog Zoso since I was 14 when she was a puppy, she recently passed away at 17 years old so having other dogs around makes me so happy. I also have two cats who are young, orange, and friendly, and I own horses, so I’m experienced with pets of all sizes and personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I am an expert on giving medication too from having a senior dog for many years! What sets me apart is my reliability, genuine love for animals, and the peace of mind I give owners knowing their pets are safe, comfy and happy. I spend most of the time at home working remotely so they will get all my attention! I currently work part-time from home, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to care for pets during the week and weekends. I’m available for walks, drop ins, and boarding. I love spending time playing with animals, giving them attention, and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I provide a safe and comfortable environment where pets are treated like my own. I have a private yard linked to trails that I walk daily, and I’d love to bring your dog along for exercise and fresh air. Most importantly, I always follow the owner’s instructions closely to make sure every pet feels secure, comfortable with routine, and well cared for!
“Taylor was great with our senior dog Lucy!! She sent us pictures while we were away, and she loved on our girl for us. We will definitely contact Taylor again for boarding in the future. She was absolutely amazing with Lucy.”
“We rebooked with Andi since our dog, Mabel, seemed to love her time with Andi & her family! They took great care of her, sent lots of updates, & even cared for Mabel when she unexpectedly went into heat early. Thanks again Andi for taking care of our berner bear!”
“Linda was phenomenal. She lovingly cared for our dog and it showed. Without any hesitation I would recommend her to care for someone's pet as you can see she is a caring person and loves animals. Linda was in daily contact with me and sent lots of photos which made me smile everyday seeing how well my pup was cared for. Thank you Linda, your the best ❤️”
About: As a devoted dog mom, I understand that pets are family. Caring for Molly and Thor every day has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and creating a safe, loving environment where every dog feels comfortable. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they receive personalized care. Whether your dog loves to play, go for walks, or simply relax, I’ll make sure they feel happy, secure, and loved while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your best friend is in caring hands. I work from home most of the time, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Caring for dogs is already part of my daily routine, so your pet will receive regular potty breaks, playtime, walks, meals on schedule, and lots of love. I keep pet parents updated with photos and messages so they always know how their furry family member is doing. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play under supervision. When a new dog arrives, I keep them separated from my own dogs at first so everyone has time to adjust comfortably. If all dogs are relaxed and interactions go well, I gradually introduce them in a safe, supervised way. If a dog prefers their own space, I’m happy to keep them separated throughout their stay. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly, and every dog is treated with patience, kindness, and love like family.
“Brianna is AMAZING! We absolutely love when Maddie gets to stay with her! She is safe, well cared for, has a blast and we know she manages her diabetes and insulin with care and attention! She sends lots of pictures and videos and keeps me informed with how she is doing! She is the absolute best!”
“Julia and Alllen took a good care of my two beautiful cata They responded to my messages , sent me pictures everyday , and hand fed my cat when she was anxious and refused to eat They are a great pet care giver and i will use their service again”
“This was the first time I’ve left our fur babies with someone who wasn’t family. Debbie took great care of them and gave me updates about their stay with photos. It eased my mind about leaving them.”
