“Brandi was fantastic with Vettori! She was attentive, caring, and made sure he felt comfortable and happy while I was away. I felt completely confident leaving him in her care. Highly recommend!”
“I couldn’t be more pleased with the care Steven provided for my pup, Abby! From the moment we met, it was clear he had a natural connection with dogs and a genuine love for animals. Abby was happy, well-exercised, and clearly well-loved while I was away. Steven kept me updated with messages, which gave me great peace of mind. It’s always a little nerve-wracking to leave your pet with someone new, but Steven exceeded all expectations. I returned to a happy, healthy pup. Highly recommend Steven to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. I’ll definitely be reaching out to him again in the future!”

About: I have owned and loved my own cats for 8 years now. I love my babies and spoil them to the core! I love cats, they have to be one of my favorite animals! I’d like to say I’m a cat whisperer because I can always get a cat to come up to me no matter what! Let me come love your baby while you have a good time!

About: My goal is to make sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I understand that every animal deserves patience, love, or just some comforting company. I am more than happy to take care of your furry friend(s) all day on weekends or walk them M-F after 5pm. Please message me for more detailed availability if needed. I have been trained with the SPCA in California to handle large and small dogs. Caring for pets brings me joy, and I treat each one as if they were my own—because they deserve nothing less.
“Stephanie does a fantastic job! I wasn't worried at all. She took care of our 4 cats while we were away on our cruise. She takes pictures of your babies, and plays with them. She'll care for them as well as you do (maybe even better) I highly recommend her.”
About: Ive taken care of cats since I can remember. I watch my families cats while they go on a vacation often. I'm also a 3 year cat owner myself ! I've given kittens medications and I'm very attentive with litter cleaning and feeding schedules. I'm open to sending many pictures of your fur babies while you're away!
“Nicole was great. I am probably a little over-protective of Max, but that's only because he means so much to me. Nicole was very understanding though and was always available via text to discuss any issues. Will be using her again very shortly actually. Highly recommend!”
About: If I could show you my 3 cats and talk about them for hours would you listen? I’m a huge advocate for cats they’re better than dogs (but shhhh we don’t let the dog owners know that) Whatever you’re cats needs are I can accommodate to them weird rituals and all.
About: I have had pets my entire life and will always take great care of them. You will never have to worry about anything. I have 2 dogs myself so you can definitely trust me with your loving pets. I work a full time job but will always make time to drop in and check on your pet whenever you need me to. I’m always willing to work with you about a time. I will always do my best to make your pets comfortable when stopping to check on them. You will never have to worry about anything.
“Carissa did a great job taking care of my cat while I was away from home. She communicated well and my cat was very comfortable and playful with her which means a lot because she is usually pretty shy.”
About: I love animals. I have lots of cat experience and a bit less dog experience. I love to pet sit for my friends when they go out of town and I enjoy walking dogs for my daily exercise. My favorite thing to do these days is to stay home and watch movies with my cat or my parents’ 3-legged dog. I’m very attentive to the needs of animals to include their safety, cleanliness and health. I’m a nurse and I work 12 hour shifts. This means my schedule gives me more days off during the week when compared to a 9-5 job, but my schedule is not the same each week. If we schedule pet sitting in advance, this is what I would prefer. Last minute appointments would be fine too if I am off work for the day. I’m a bit of a night owl so weird hours are fine too. I have a fenced back yard and have hosted puppies before that I was fostering for a local rescue. I have a cat so dog friendly cats are preferred if you want them to stay over at my place. I can also stay at your place if preferred. I have a car
About: I not only have a passion in fitness, but the well being of all furry pets, especially dogs! I treat every dog as my own, because they all have a heart just like we do and need to make sure we understand their needs as a companion. I am willing to go beyond and make sure your pet remains active, and know the importance since I have a pretty healthy 11 years old pup myself! Allow me to show you that you can become comfortable and know that your dog will be in great hands, while they are gaining a friend=) This is not a job to me, but a privilege! If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know! Hope to work with you and your wonderful dog soon! I'm an Exercise Science/Psychology graduate and trainer. My line of work is organized how I schedule it to make sure I am meeting standards and delivering the proper care. IF we agree to bring your fur babies in my home I could provide great accommodations. I have a sweet dog and cat so what ever I could do to meet needs.
About: I am excellent with training animals, my family has background in 4H state championships. I am efficient and understand special medications and dietary needs as well! I typically like to bring them with me to places to get them out and about. I also enjoy hanging and watching movies with cuddles! Typically I go away for a few hours to take care of business and personal things but am never too long. My pets are very well cared for with safe diets, great exercise, and lots of cuddles! I keep an obedient environment while allowing for safety & fun!

About: As a dedicated pet owner and experienced caregiver, I understand that pets are family. Choosing someone to care for them requires trust, and I strive to provide every pet and owner with reliability, professionalism, and peace of mind. I have experience caring for animals through both personal and family settings, including feeding, walking, bathing, grooming, playtime, and attending to their daily needs.

Every pet has their own personality, routines, and comfort levels, and I tailor my care to meet their unique needs. Your pet’s safety is always a top priority. I maintain a pet-friendly environment by keeping spaces clean and free of hazards, securing off-limit areas, and ensuring potentially harmful items remain out of reach. Please let me know about any special instructions, medical needs, routines, fears, or favorite activities your pet may have. The more I know, the better I can provide the personalized care they deserve. I look forward to caring for your furry family members and giving you confidence that they’re in trustworthy, capable, and compassionate hands. Reliable. Certified. Experienced. Caring for your pets like they’re my own. I care for my Titan. We play and I walk him everyday. I am very caring, loving, and gentle with him. I also groom him. He is a also a certified ESA. We work diligently everyday to refine his behavior and I am very patient with the process. I close the doors to rooms they shouldn’t go in.

“Brandi did a great job with Rocky. It was his first time with a sitter and I was very apprehensive about how well he would settle in. He ate, pottied, played, napped and had a good time. Brandi communicated throughout the day and really made me feel more comfortable that she was taking good care of him. I would not hesitate to book with her again. Thank you Brandi.”

About: Here at Ty's Bark Club I take the health and well-being of each and every fur baby that I am rewarded the opportunity to care for. I understand that they are an extension of your family. My goal is to provide you with the best quality of care, starting from the initial point of contact. While your fur baby is here, I evaluate their overall well-being, paying close attention to their play method, eating, drinking, bowel movements, limb movement, teeth and more. I educate myself on each animal to be able to ensure their stay is enjoyable, being they are away from family and their stomping grounds. No pet is too old, young, small, giant, dark, light, quiet or mouthy to come enjoy a vacation at TT's Bark Club. My fur baby is just like having a child, I set rules and establish boundaries for a well-rounded human-to-canine/feline relationship. I understand the importance of obedience and how tedious and time consuming that can be, I am offering to train your pet for you. Be sure to read to find out more. Leave a review & include #TeamTy and get 20% your next booking over $75. My willingness to learn and transparency is what enhances my reputation, based on the reviews from previous pet owners leaving their heart felt comments. I am determined to efficiently ensure a clean and safe environment as I am conducting our kennel out of the comfort of my home. With a flexible daily schedule, I maintain a healthy schedule that fits each need of your pet(s) during their stay with me. Being outside to smell the air and feeling the breeze is the best part about vacation, right? Well at Ty's, outside is where the grass is green, the sun is hot, and the water comes with ice cubes to beat the heat. I conduct daily cleaning. Ensuring to clean bowels, cages, toys, linen and more. During each feeding time, ALL pets are put into their crates, read to find out more. My backyard has been newly fenced in to provide the best security for your pets while they are here. Some quick repairs have been done to the fence, since running the kennel. (Great updates coming soon)!! There is minor dirt but mostly grass that is well maintained. Considering how many pets come to my home, we have a company come out to spray the outside and inside of the home for a variety of pest to include by not limited to fleas, ticks and flies. This is a home-based business, thus leaving out key information about your pet is a non-negotiable and could potentially be a hazard for your pet and others. If your pet’s care guide is not an accurate description on their behavior once arrived, early pick-up will be required, so misrepresentation is highly discouraged. This is not a pet foster home, mean-time in between time, shelter, or rescue. It is prohibited to bring your pet(s) here, while you are looking for a new home for them. I do not wish to be a part of that transaction; have tried it and wish nothing but the best for you during that adventure. Thank you for understanding.
“Jessica is great! My dog loves going to play the other dogs while I work l, went to schoool at night or boarding while on vacation leaving the island. My dog is a repeat client and has been since day 1 dog sitting.”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Matthews
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. 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’m super patient and love giving all of the snuggles and cuddles to dogs! I will be what you need while you’re living your best life on vacation I work full time but can do check ins in the morning, on lunch & at night. I am off on weekends so can go during the weekend any time as well. I’m not currently offering boarding services. I’m only doing dog walking and in home check ins. So so so so so so so so sorry!
About: My name is Carissa and I love animals. I used to watch dogs and cats for 3 years for some income and it’s something I enjoy. I have some training in keeping animals calm and happy. My grandpa is also a vet so I know a bunch of medical stuff in case of emergency. I have open availability always. I have two big dogs myself so I’m good with all sizes of dogs! I’m very good with other animals including cats.. i enjoy what I do. I like long walks with the dogs and just to spend time with them so when their parents leave they aren’t lonely and depressed. I’m very good with instructions and last minute changes. Very good with time changes and needing to be there earlier than usual. I also have worked at a pet store for 4 years and have learned a lot about animal care! I currently work a part-time job and have plenty of time for your babies. Especially on the weekends! I usually work mornings and maybe one close. I get off by 8:15pm latest! I’m usually up pretty early and can spend the day with your babes! I have a separate room dedicated for your baby to feel safe and comfortable if needing to stay in my home! I only have cats and can keep them secure as well!

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my hands-on experience caring for dogs. I had a dog named Bella who was part of my family for 10 years, which taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and understanding a dog’s needs at every stage of life. I am attentive, reliable, and committed to making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s providing exercise, companionship, or extra attention, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m currently working part time and looking to watching and walking your pets.Im available to help anytime during the week and weekends when i’m needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible to help their pets feel comfortable and secure. I provide fresh food and water, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention and companionship. I also make sure the home is kept clean and that any specific instructions from the owner are followed carefully. My goal is to ensure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while their owner is away.

I bathe and walk them and take them on drives occasionally to get a puppuccino from Starbucks! :) I believe dogs are a part of the family, which is why my dogs are just as comfortable on their dog beds, as they are on our couches and beds. I love all animals, but have a special place in my heart for dogs. I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of availability open for your pets! I love all animals and want a future career aimed towards that specialty!

About: I’ve always loved pets and growing up my parents never allowed me to get any so when I was able to move out i immediately went and got me a little puppy (lab) from a shelter that I’ve been volunteering at and every since then Mia have been the light of my life!. My friends always rely on me to dog sit for them or just to come over and let them out for a potty break. I’m currently work full time at Allstate M-F and I recently graduated from university of South Carolina Aiken. Because I’m full time throughout the week and off every weekend, I wanted to make money doing something I love and that’s when I came across rover. I am free every weekend to dog sit/dog walks/ few drops in per day if that’s something you need while away or gone for a long period of time during the day I currently only have 1 dog and her name is Mia! She’s the sweetest/ friendliest puppy ever! She will make your fur baby feel right at home with her smile and energy.
About: I have worked and been around animals since I was born. I use to work for a reserve rehabilitator and animal shop owner. I have worked with many breeds of cats and dogs and understand each one can be uniquely different. What works for one may not always work for another. I’m retired navy so I have all day to work with your animals. I can do drop ins throughout the day to check on them to let them out or take on a walk. Pretty flexible schedule. In my home I have a 5 year old husky who has been raised around cats and puppies. He is good at helping correct puppies. He has had one litter of his own pups. I do not have a fenced yard, but can take them on leash in the yard and live in a nice neighborhood to walk your animal. If you want crate training I have a couple already here at the house

About: Hi! My name is Carissa, I am a recent graduate from the University of South Carolina. I'm originally from Pennsylvania! I’ve lived in downtown Eugene, OR ; Miami, FL ; Columbia, SC ; and now Georgia! I’ve hosted and have had multiple house visits with other dogs and cats! I’ve watched dogs ranging from a mini daschund to a great pyrenees! I grew up with a golden retriever and 2 cats, and now my family in Pennsylvania just lost our pitbull blue heeler mix (she was my absolute best friend). Some of my favorite hobbies include: reading, eating, taking photos, binge watching shows, and exercising. I've done daily walks for a dachshund while living in Miami, have hosted a bunch in Oregon, I had a weekly dog I’d daycare for and other bookings in Georgia, as well as my repeat pups and cats from Columbia! I have a little (lol) pup of my own! We rescued her from the shelter back in September, and she truly has become my soul dog. You can view her info on my profile I am pretty sure- she’s a pitbull Great Dane! Please send me a message and I will get back very quickly if I can or can’t! My schedule is fairly flexible- I do work full time. I do work full-time, but we can talk schedules to see how flexible I can be that week! I obviously have a dog of my own, but my bf and I usually have alternating schedules to adhere to her! (He’s also available on his off days if you’re comfortable to do what’s needed for a drop in/walk) I am currently not accepting any boarding because I am renting with my boyfriend until we can move into a house of our own! I am very watchful of pets because I want only the best for them and the peace of mind for you. Leash always outside, very mindful of surroundings, I do not let your dogs interact with others (even if you say its okay- its more of a personal thing I don't like to do). If you’d like for our dogs to meet and see if they mesh well for play dates- I’d love to chat about it!
“Ansley is super sweet and really works with you to meet your dogs needs. She is patient and kind and loves Archie like I love Archie. He loves her too! I couldn’t recommend Ansley enough for all of your dog care needs.”
About: I have experience with all breeds big or small, all ages they are well cared for. I own a two year old German shepherd mix, she loves play and looks forward to making new friends. I will keep up with the schedule you have them set on, and I can administer medication/ ointment. I’m a navy reservist so my schedule is flexible, breakfast is served around 8. Then a morning walk around 9, there’s a park in my apartment so we can stop there hangout till 930. Around noon they’ll be taken out again and they’ll be out till about 1pm. The rest day will be filled with enrichment activities, and lots of playing. Dinner is served around 530-6. And they’ll be let out one more time around 7, hangout for an hour or so. Then they’ll be crated around 830-9. There is a dog park located at my apartment complex, they’ll have free access to. I’ll take them to a much bigger area to go run and play. And we’ll go on longer walks.
About: I am excellent with training animals, my family has background in 4H state championships. I am efficient and understand special medications and dietary needs as well! I typically like to bring them with me to places to get them out and about. I also enjoy hanging and watching movies with cuddles! Typically I go away for a few hours to take care of business and personal things but am never too long. My pets are very well cared for with safe diets, great exercise, and lots of cuddles! I keep an obedient environment while allowing for safety & fun!
About: I have taken care of pets of all kinds since I was 11/12 years old. I have a strong love for fur babies and find it very easy to connect with them. I’m no dog whisperer (maybe lol) but I do feel that I have a sixth sense that helps me to understand their needs without verbal communication to help for a smoother experience. I am currently working full time from home so I have unlimited availability and the flexibility needed to work with each and every pets needs. I currently live in an apartment that is very pet friendly. We have huge fields all around the buildings for running and playing. I do have a small dog and cat myself perfect for keeping your pets company. Both pets are dog/cat friendly and would love to share our home with tour fur babies!!
“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!”

“Brandi was fantastic with Vettori! She was attentive, caring, and made sure he felt comfortable and happy while I was away. I felt completely confident leaving him in her care. Highly recommend!”
“I couldn’t be more pleased with the care Steven provided for my pup, Abby! From the moment we met, it was clear he had a natural connection with dogs and a genuine love for animals. Abby was happy, well-exercised, and clearly well-loved while I was away. Steven kept me updated with messages, which gave me great peace of mind. It’s always a little nerve-wracking to leave your pet with someone new, but Steven exceeded all expectations. I returned to a happy, healthy pup. Highly recommend Steven to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. I’ll definitely be reaching out to him again in the future!”
“Rachelle and Joseph were amazing and sent regular updates of our pup, Butters. He was right at home and we will absolutely use them in the future. True dog lovers.”
“Michelle was super sweet and sent pics and videos the whole time our dog stayed with her. She had great communication and our dog did not want to leave. Her dog was so sweet too and they got along great.”
“Nicole and her husband were both extremely nice, considerate, and accommodating! My dog has mobility problems, and they went out of their way to get floor mats to help my dog and future dogs move around their house.”
“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”
“Sarah and Hagan took great care of my dogs for the week they had them. They have a very nice and clean kennel setup with ample room in a fenced off area for dogs to run around. My dogs were happy and well cared for when I picked them up.”
“Ailey was awesome!! Sent lots of video and pics of our fur baby! She was very accommodating with drop off and pick up times and took great care of our favorite family member!!”
“Marcus is very good with Polar, this is my second time booking with him and he’s very attentive and friendly! Polar left well cared for and a happy lil doggy.”

“Madison took great care of Abby. She provided frequent updates (she asks how many you want). Great communication. I would highly recommend Madison and will use her services again if I have to travel without Abby.”
“Valerie is absolutely the BEST. We sleep soundly knowing our Lex is with her. He absolutely adores her. I cannot recommend her enough to other dog owners. We always feel relieved when we are able to book her for when we are out of town. 10/10 recommend Valerie!!”
“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!”
“It was my first time using Rover and I loved it! She is attentive and understanding. You can tell she loves the animals that she takes care of. With it being my first time away from my dog, especially with Maxi being under the care of a stranger, I was worried and have been missing her even more. Genesis gave me updates and sent me pictures of Maxi, which calmed my nerves. 10/10 would definitely book again!”
“Our dogs LOVE this sitter. They get along well with her fur babies. Plus, the bathing service left them nice and clean after a long weekend of play with their buddies!”
“Emily was such a good host for our fur baby Cannon. She not only sent pictures but also videos of him during the duration of our trip. She made us feel comfortable dropping him off and picking off. She was very nice and accommodating when I had to modify the time of drop off. I loved her so much that I will definitely be taking our dog to her again. He truly loved interacting with the other dogs there. All and all great experience!”
