I’m so happy I found her. ♥️”

About: I’ve had dogs basically my entire life and have always loved caring for them. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I understand that every dog has different needs, routines, and comfort levels, and I’ll treat your pet like they’re part of my family. I have a fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely play and get plenty of exercise, along with a comfortable home environment for relaxing. My goal is to give you peace of mind while your dog is in my care. I currently have a flexible schedule while working toward my real estate license, giving me plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m available for boarding throughout the week and can provide regular attention, playtime, exercise, and potty breaks. I’ll follow your dog’s normal routine and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely get exercise and enjoy supervised outdoor time. I have one friendly dog of my own and always introduce dogs carefully based on their personalities. I can separate dogs when needed and will follow your pet’s feeding, medication, crate, and daily routines. My home is a calm, comfortable environment where your dog will receive plenty of attention and care.
“Rachel and her husband are very nice people with two awesome dogs of their own. My dog spent a weekend and came back brushed and tuckered out. Very easy to work with!”
“I went into this not knowing what to expect but my first experience with Rover has been great. Lulu was boarded by Cassie for a few days and the entire process and visit was nothing short of amazing! Cassie taught Lulu some commands and took very good care of her. She sent me lots of photos and videos and communicated very well. Lulu was so happy to meet a new sweet furry friend (Korra) as well! 🥰 I will definitely be seeking out Cassie again the next time we are in need. Thank you Cassie! 💜”
“Ms. Alexis was absolutely amazing watching Biscuit! She was so accommodating and helpful as we had a sudden funeral to attend. Biscuit was extremely well taken care of and if you need someone who will truly love and take care of your pet, I 100% recommend using Ms. Alexis”
“My little old lady was so happy she didn't go to the door ready to leave when I got there! Brooke took the beat care of her❤️ I got lots of pictures. This was a last minute booking and Brooke responded quickly! She will be my go from this point!”
“I absolutely recommend Brianna's services! This is my second time and I'm extremely pleased with the care she has provided for our family dog. Will continue to use her services ❤️”
“Steve took care of our goldendoodle, Sully, for four days, and we truly could not have asked for a better experience. From the start, he was professional, attentive, and genuinely caring. The biggest comfort for me was knowing Sully wasn’t cooped up in a kennel while we were away — he was in a loving, attentive environment where he was treated like family. Steve clearly takes pride in what he does, and it shows in the way he cares for the dogs entrusted to him. My heart was completely at ease the entire time, which says everything. Sully came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. From here on out, Steve will absolutely be our go-to pet sitter. We are so grateful for the exceptional care he provided. Highly recommend!”
“Mary was sooo great with babysitting Evee. She sent frequent pics and videos and Evee looked soo happy in every one of them. I would definitely book Mary again. She is soo kind and sweet. And she took AMAZING care of my little Evee. 💖💖”

“Sally communicated very well throughout our time away from home. She made sure our kitten, Izzy was taken care of and even took the time to show her love and attention during her visit. We really appreciated the daily updates and pictures! I would recommend Sally to anyone who needs their fur baby taken care of!”
“Amanda was wonderful! I had to be out of town for a few weeks for school and she came by to take care of my cat so diligently on days when my family was unable to. She was very thorough, making sure the litter box was always clean, his food dispenser was full and functional, etc. She also just loved on my cat so well, spending time letting him get to know her and play with treats. He’s very shy, so it says a lot that by her third visit, he was running to meet her at the door! Overall, excellent experience and I would encourage anyone looking for a good sitter to reach out to her. I definitely will whenever I need to in the future!”
“This was the first time that I left our older cat, Doc, with Autumn and I will be calling on her in the future. I was very confident that Doc was being well cared for while we were away. Being an older cat (and spoiled) I was able to enjoy myself knowing that Autumn was there for him. Awesome job Autumn!”
“Maria did an amazing job taking care of our three cats while we were out of town for almost 2 weeks. She was incredibly communicative and spent extra time to make sure our skittish cats were acclimated to her. She went above and beyond and we would absolutely hire her again!”
“McKinsey is amazing with animals - you can tell she loves them. She treats my puppy and kitty as if they are her own. I trust her and am so grateful for her help. Thank you for all that you do! She exceeds all expectations. Highly recommend. Thanks girl!”
“Meaghan is an amazing sitter! She is incredibly sweet and has done a fabulous job taking care of Pepe 😸. She’s very easy to communicate with, and you can truly tell she loves animals. I would 100% recommend her!!”
“Nina was very kind and communicative about Chief when we needed someone to let him out a few times when we were out of town for the day. We would for sure book with her again:)”
“I can't say enough nice things about Hannah, she is absolutely amazing! She watched my two elderly cats for two weeks, and did a fantastic job. I absolutely hate leaving them and typically worry the whole time I'm away, but after the meet and greet I knew they would be well cared for and safe. They both liked her immediately which is extremely rare for one of them. That same cat doesn't do well with being left, she's always extremely clingy and lethargic when we return home. This was the very first time, (and she's 13 years old) she seemed happy and unconcerned by our absence! It really showed how comfortable and secure she felt. Hannah is kind, professional, and quick to respond. I'd hire her again in a second!”
“Samantha is wonderful! She obviously loves working with animals and took excellent care of our cat while we were out of town. Her communication was excellent - she is always quick to respond, and she sent photos from each of her visits. It’s always hard to leave pets, but she made it so much easier and provided such peace of mind. I absolutely recommend reaching out to Samantha - she is awesome!”
“Mary was absolutely amazing! She made sure to make our dog feel so comfortable and loved. She always made sure to do everything we requested so that nothing in our dog’s routine would be different. Will be rebooking in the future!”
About: Nurse by trade, animal lover by heart. Looking to care for and spoil your animals with my fun loving animal enthusiasm. I’ve been a dog mom all my life and couldn’t imagine a house without one. I love dogs of all ages and understand the requirements and care of each stage. I can roll around on the ground with your puppy or cuddle your senior baby. Cats??? Love them too! I am available during the week after 5 and every weekend. Please message me if weekday service is something you’ll need as I do not have this open on my calendar. I can open it for specific appointments. I can administer oral medications and am a quick learner with injections if needed. I give little ones vaccines all day at my 9-5 😊 I’m a full time nurse during the week but am looking for drop in sessions with your babies in the afternoons and definately on the weekends. Mon-Fri I am available 5pm-9pm and on Sat and Sun I have full availability. I will treat your fur baby like it’s my own. I’m a caring, considerate human being whom loves the company of animals. I have an adorable 4 year old Boxer at home that would agree.
“My Iverson is an handful to say the least but Jessica is well equipped to handle him. Iverson jumps, nips and tugs on the leash like hr is playing tug of war. She displays extreme patience and goes above and beyond to ensure Iverson is safe. Also she stays the whole 30 minutes, I really like that!!!”
About: Growing up, I always had cats and often did TNR with my mom on a local colony near our house. I currently have cats and have experience giving medications. I’ve volunteered nearly 100 hours towards Cat Care at the SPCA Albrecht Center in Aiken.
About: I’ve grown up with and loved on cats for my whole life! Having never met a cat I didn’t love, I take any opportunity to befriend a new kitty. I always thoroughly scoop litter boxes, diligently check food and water, and partake in plenty of snuggles.
About: I have over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs. I’ve also always had dogs growing up. I’ve worked with dogs for years, where I gained experience caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’ve also provided pet-sitting services in dogs’ own homes, giving them the comfort of staying in their familiar environment while their owners are away. In addition, I have extensive dog-walking experience and understand the importance of keeping every walk safe, enjoyable, and suited to each dog’s individual pace and personality. What sets me apart is my combination of professional daycare experience, in-home pet sitting, and dog walking. I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely love getting to know each dog in my care. I treat every pup like my own and strive to give both pets and their owners peace of mind. 🐾❤️ Pet care is something I’m doing part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. My significant other travels for work, and I’m fortunate enough to be able to travel with him, so I’m able to adjust my availability depending on our travel schedule. I’m looking forward to using my flexible schedule to provide reliable, loving care for dogs and giving them the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. 🐾 I understand that staying in a familiar environment can help pets feel more relaxed, especially when their owners are away. I make sure doors, gates, and other areas are secure, follow their normal feeding, walking, and medication routines, and keep a close eye on their behavior and well-being. I also respect their home and leave everything clean and just as I found it.

Perfect for high energy dogs - McDade
“Terry is very kind and knowledgeable about dogs. She sent pictures that reassured me Obi was getting along with the other dogs in Doggy Day Care. It was nice to see he was with friendly dogs and was getting along as “one of the pack.” She is also very communicative. Will use again if needed for sure !”

“Heather was great! She was very flexible and accommodating to my schedule especially on short notice. She took care of my frenchie Papi for daycare over the course of two days. She sent plenty of pictures and kept me well updated. Her two dogs played very well with him and Papi was wore out, which is exactly what I wanted!”
“Amazing, amazing. Brandi sends photos and videos throughout the day. Hershey is always enjoying his time playing with toys, playing outside with his new furry friends, and enjoying sweet naptimes after he’s all tuckered out. Will continue to use Brandi for future pup day care.”
“Ms. Ronda was Awesome! She took good of my dog even trained her. This was the 1st morning I woke up with my dog not barking to go outside. This was my 1st time using her and it will definitely not be my last. I highly recommend Ms. Ronda. Thank you”
“My dog had a wonderful time Veronica‘s care. She got along so well with her dog and we received regular updates, pictures and videos throughout her stay. I would definitely recommend her.”
“Lexi’s was an absolute gem taking in my Brownie last minute. I’m so grateful for her. I’m based in California but my family is taking care of him for me so having someone like Lexis that was so welcoming and so great at updating me made me feel so at ease. It’s a blessing to have people like her, someone you can trust with your fur baby 🤗 Thank you for taking care of my Brownie. I absolutely appreciate it from the bottom of my heart 🫶🏾”

“Charles was awesome and took very good care of Tucker. We were in town for a tournament and he was very understanding when our last game ran into double overtime causing us to be 1/2hr late for pick up. It seemed that our pup didn’t travel too well and had a sensitive stomach during his stay, Charles took very good care of Tucker despite his stomach upset. Very grateful he was in good hands!”
“We drove down from Ohio for a graduation in GA and needed to find someone to care for our 1.5 year old golden doodle. We’ve never left her with anyone before and were a bit nervous, especially before 12 hours from home. We were so happy with Mary and Felix and the care they gave her. We appreciated the pictures of our sweet girl that they sent to us as well. We have another graduation next year and will be reaching back out to them again for sure when we are back in the state.”
“Natalie was great! I brought my dog for daycare multiple days per week for 4 weeks and she was well cared for. Natalie was responsive and very kind. I will book her again if I need doggie daycare again.”

We're excited to have your dog be a bonus member of our pack! I currently work part time, so I have plenty of time to accommodate your pets' schedules and needs. I'm happy to arrange "Doggie Day Out" for adventures/external stimulation (hello, naptime!) or simple potty breaks/mini hang outs - whatever works best for you! I have a fenced backyard, as well as the ability to separate dogs in my home, as needed. I do have one small/medium dog crate that can be used if needed/requested, though I prefer to have everyone together for maximum good times! My dog, Eevee, has a variety of toys and cozy blankets on hand that she is more than happy to share. I also offer a variety of dog treats should extra love be required: usually some form of organic cookies or fresh fruit (bananas, blueberries, and strawberries). Your dog will be in safe and happy hands.

About: I've been around dogs since I was born. I decided to go to school for animals. I have a certification in Veterinary Assistant and currently I’m working on getting a degree in Veterinary Technician. I also work at a kennel and a pet store so my days are just filled with animals and I love it. I currently do work two jobs and go to school for Vet Tech but I will be doing this typically in the morning and early afternoon. I currently live on a farm so all the animals I somewhat take care of all have a large piece of land to run around and be free. We have a fences to make sure they don't run out into the road. I do keep our back porch open incase it gets too hot for them or they want to get out the rain.
About: I have had dogs since 2013. I had three, I currently have two. One of them had epilepsy, this gave me experience with seizures and administering medicine. I also worked at a doggy day care for 1 year, there I cared for large groups of dogs. We fed them, changed out water 4-5 times a day, picked up after them and played with them. I'm knowledgeable about dog behavior and how to avoid situations that would be harmful. I know to test the pavement heat before a walk on hot days. If you need doggy day care please note that it will only be your pet(s) at your residence because mine is full. I'm currently seeking steady employment but am wanting to make this my steady job. I'm available during the week from six am to 5 pm I'm currently unable to pet sit in my home. I'm more than happy to pet sit in the dogs/cats home that makes the pets more comfortable as well since it's not a strange house with strange smells. I'm more than happy to drop in or stay for awhile. I enjoy taking walks and it's always good to have a friend (your pet) with me.
About: I've raised and trained many animals from dogs to cats and even birds sense I was 9. I LOVE animals and I hope one day I can make a profession out of it. I can walk, feed, bathe your pets. I plan on getting my liscence to train very soon too. I can't wait to meet you and you wonderful pets! I have recently found a weekend shift job position Friday through Sunday. So i will definitely have Monday to Thursday free for puppy play dates! I have a very nice big yard with plenty of space for your fur baby to play. It is half fenced, but there aren't any other animals around. There is an amazing park with a dog track near my house so your pet will get plenty of exercise too!

About: I've taken care of a variety of animals for family and friends. Watched dogs, rabbits, fish, and a guinea pig for my aunt and cousins multiple times. Recently helped my friend while she and her family were out of town by looking after ducks, chickens, a pig, pigeons, horses, and let her dogs out. I also hand fed her cat to make sure he got all of his medicine that was mixed in it. I have a full time job but am lucky to have a flexible schedule and can adjust my hours to be available to take good care of your pet(s). All dogs that I've cared for were let out in a fenced in yard to relieve themselves but I am more that willing to walk any dog that needs more excerise or doesn't have a yard.

There I was a keyholder, prepped dog food and meds, as well as picked up after any messes without any difficulty. I live with two dogs myself, and watch them for my roommate when he goes out of town. I do have cats that don't mind dogs too much. I have a fenced in back yard and a dog door that goes out to the back as well. I love working with my own cats, as well as the fur babies of others to better understand dog, cat, and general animal behaviors. I love animals, so getting to work with them fuels said love. I treat all animals as if they’re mine. I believe in positive reinforcement training, as well as redirecting misbehavior to something more entertaining for both me and the pet.

About: Hi there! Growing up I was always an animal person, every year on my birthday when I blew out the candles I would always wish for 100 dogs. Now that’s probably not a smart decision but I feel like that wish has been granted with all of the dogs I’ve watched. I’ve been dogsitting for 6 years now and have loved every second of it. I’ve watched tiny Chihuahuas to large Great Danes, I also have a lot of experience with cats. I’m looking forward to meeting your furry friend! I currently work Monday-Thursday 9-4. I have a lunch break at 12 that I would be able to let them out as well. My weekends are usually free Safety is my number one priority. I am able to crate your dog if you prefer that and set an alarm if you have one.
“Excellent dog caregiver! My dog is so comfortable with Ashley, that when I tell him, “Ashley is on her way!” he immediately runs to the window to watch for her! She is kind, easy to work with, and very trustworthy. She has taken great care of my dog more than once and am grateful for her patience and great care she always provides. I am very comfortable and lucky to be able to depend on her caring for my dog. Thank you,Ms Ashley!”

I currently work rotating swing shift my schedule right now for the first full week of the month Friday - Monday 6:30 pm to 6:30 am Off Tuesday - Thursday Friday - Sunday 6:30 am to 6:30 pm Off Monday Tuesday - Thursday 6:30 pm to 6:30 am Off Friday to Sunday Monday - Thursday 6:30 am to 6:30 pm Off Friday to the following Friday During these times I can visit your pet when I get off work and as I’m going in, plus I will use my breaks to visit your pet as they are a hour long so I typically have the time to give your pets the care they need I won’t be taking any pets in my home, but to ensure your babies safety and comfort, I will feed them and water them, after they’ve eaten and are ready to go outside for a potty break I will walk them if needed or take them into your backyard and let them do their business, and will clean up after your pet. Once they’re done I will play with them enough to tire them out so they have a nice long nap before I return to visit them again :)

About: I have over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs. I’ve also always had dogs growing up. I’ve worked with dogs for years, where I gained experience caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’ve also provided pet-sitting services in dogs’ own homes, giving them the comfort of staying in their familiar environment while their owners are away. In addition, I have extensive dog-walking experience and understand the importance of keeping every walk safe, enjoyable, and suited to each dog’s individual pace and personality. What sets me apart is my combination of professional daycare experience, in-home pet sitting, and dog walking. I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely love getting to know each dog in my care. I treat every pup like my own and strive to give both pets and their owners peace of mind. 🐾❤️ Pet care is something I’m doing part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. My significant other travels for work, and I’m fortunate enough to be able to travel with him, so I’m able to adjust my availability depending on our travel schedule. I’m looking forward to using my flexible schedule to provide reliable, loving care for dogs and giving them the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. 🐾 I understand that staying in a familiar environment can help pets feel more relaxed, especially when their owners are away. I make sure doors, gates, and other areas are secure, follow their normal feeding, walking, and medication routines, and keep a close eye on their behavior and well-being. I also respect their home and leave everything clean and just as I found it.
“My dog Kobe is a high energy breed who needs his speed walks everyday. When I am sick or away, I needed to find someone who can give him the high energy walks he needs and I found that perfect person in Darya! I have used her three times already and already booked her for three more. Kobe comes home happy, excited and tired all in one. Darya has exceeded my expectations!”

About: I’ve had dogs basically my entire life and have always loved caring for them. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I understand that every dog has different needs, routines, and comfort levels, and I’ll treat your pet like they’re part of my family. I have a fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely play and get plenty of exercise, along with a comfortable home environment for relaxing. My goal is to give you peace of mind while your dog is in my care. I currently have a flexible schedule while working toward my real estate license, giving me plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m available for boarding throughout the week and can provide regular attention, playtime, exercise, and potty breaks. I’ll follow your dog’s normal routine and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely get exercise and enjoy supervised outdoor time. I have one friendly dog of my own and always introduce dogs carefully based on their personalities. I can separate dogs when needed and will follow your pet’s feeding, medication, crate, and daily routines. My home is a calm, comfortable environment where your dog will receive plenty of attention and care.
“I felt so comfortable the entire time. Jessica and her mom were great and I could tell they loved on my dogs like I would. Jessica ensured our dogs’ medication schedules were correct and confirmed with us multiple times. She sent lots of pictures and truly spoiled them. Would book with her again without hesitation!”
“Rachel and her husband are very nice people with two awesome dogs of their own. My dog spent a weekend and came back brushed and tuckered out. Very easy to work with!”
“Ms. Alexis was absolutely amazing watching Biscuit! She was so accommodating and helpful as we had a sudden funeral to attend. Biscuit was extremely well taken care of and if you need someone who will truly love and take care of your pet, I 100% recommend using Ms. Alexis”
“Steve took care of our goldendoodle, Sully, for four days, and we truly could not have asked for a better experience. From the start, he was professional, attentive, and genuinely caring. The biggest comfort for me was knowing Sully wasn’t cooped up in a kennel while we were away — he was in a loving, attentive environment where he was treated like family. Steve clearly takes pride in what he does, and it shows in the way he cares for the dogs entrusted to him. My heart was completely at ease the entire time, which says everything. Sully came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. From here on out, Steve will absolutely be our go-to pet sitter. We are so grateful for the exceptional care he provided. Highly recommend!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my dog, Parker! Payton took amazing care of him while I was away and kept me updated with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Parker was clearly happy and well-loved the entire time. She’s reliable, attentive, and truly cares for the pets she watches. Payton will definitely be my go-to from now on!”
“Charles did an amazing job taking care of Kenji. From daily updates and photos to ensuring Kenji had walks and playtime. Kenji got along well with Knox, who is a Dalmatian as well. Kenji was happy when I returned, and it was a huge relief to know he was in such good hands. Highly recommend Charles for anyone needing a dependable and caring dog sitter!”
