“Eboni was great with updates and photos the whole time she had our sweet girl! Her home was inviting and she made sure our dog got plenty of outside time as well as lots of love. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for a safe and comfy place for your dog!”

“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!”

“Brandi and her husband were extremely attentive and kind to our dog, Biscuit. They were communicative the whole time and provided information at pickup (including how he didn’t finish all his food the morning of pickup). Their 2 dogs were also fantastic and tired out our dog which is always an added plus. I would 100% recommend them to anyone who is needing a sitter for their dog!”


“Nicole was very patient with this nervous dog momma! She made sure Diesel was comfortable while introducing him to other dogs! Thanks to her, he made new friends! I'll definitely use her again for boarding or even walks! Diesel loved her, too!”

“Lulu got to have another amazing boarding experience with Cassie! I got so many pictures of their time together and had so much peace of mind while she was away. Cassie is seriously one of the best here. I hope I can get Cassie as a sitter every time!”

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.
“Heather is amazing!! She provides so many updates, pics, and videos, so I know my boy is well taken care of and loved! I don't trust very many people with my pup but I trust Heather! Thank you so much!!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 11. My family has always trusted me with their pets. Your pet will be in good hands. I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to play and watch your pups. I’m always available on the weekday and weekends. Your dog becomes part of my routine, not just a guest. I keep their normal feeding schedule, walks, and sleep schedule as close as possible to what they do at home so they feel safe and comfortable.
“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.”

“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!”

“Whittney was incredible. I was so nervous to leave my Ghost because he has a lot of anxiety and she kept me reassured and up to date with pictures and updates the whole time. She was responsive and so incredibly kind. Ghost had the biggest smile in all of the pictures and videos she sent so I know he had the best time!”


About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 10 years old and have always considered animals part of the family. I currently have two 8-year-old cats, and until recently I also had two dogs, including a 12-year-old German Shepherd/Malamute mix who sadly passed away from heart failure this year and a Pit Bull who passed away the year before. Caring for pets throughout their different stages of life has taught me how important patience, attention, and love are. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, giving pets attention and companionship, and keeping their normal routines while their families are away. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so I’ll treat them with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom, so I have a flexible schedule and am home most of the day. My only regular commitments are school drop-off and pickup. This allows me plenty of time for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. I live in a quiet apartment community with a small dog park that I can use for appropriate dogs. I have two friendly 8-year-old cats who are comfortable around people and pets. I also have a toddler who loves animals and a 5-year-old who is more timid around very energetic dogs, so I’m especially mindful of each pet’s temperament and comfort level. I will only accept pets that are a good fit for my home and family, and I always prioritize safety, supervision, and following your pet’s normal routine
About: I've been around dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments, pretty much my entire life. I can handle all aspects of a dog's care, from feeding and routine excercise to bonus hang out time or other extra special attention as needed. I've always felt a special connection with dogs, and they've always responded well to my calm, but firm energy. I will treat your dog with the utmost care, providing a sense of security and familiarity as we build a bond. I am currently proud parent to my 3 year "dog"ter, Eevee, who is a happy-go-lucky American Pit Bull Terrier with a heart of gold. Eevee and I, along with my wife, enjoy taking trips to go fishing, visiting the North Augusta Bark Park, and exploring Elijah Cove Dog Beach. 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 am a true animal lover, having had many different animals over the years, ranging from one of the smallest dog breeds, a Chihuahua (16 years) to one of the largest, a blind in one eye, completely deaf Great Dane (7 years). Both have since passed away, and I now enjoy my two Boxers, 11 yr old female, Daisy and my newest addition, a 3 month old male, Rocco. Knowing first hand the worries that go with boarding your animal, and the stresses they feel. I will give them the loving, nurturing experience, while making sure they are safe in their own environment and able to keep their routine. I am comfortable with all dog breeds and I look forward to meeting you and your pet.
About: I have spent my whole life (39 years) absolutely loving animals and advocating for better treatment of them in one way or another. My husband is allergic to cats so we have not had any pets as adults, but I love caring for them whenever the opportunity arises. Additionally, I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Human Nutrition with a Biology minor. I’d love to help care for your fur babies as if they are my own! I’m an active mom and wife, but my schedule is very flexible and I work from home so I’m almost always here. I learn quick and will do whatever your babies need. I treat your pets just like you do: like my child. I’m happy to follow instructions to the letter and to also use my own discretion when needed to support whatever is best for your sweet babies.

“Heather did an amazing job taking care of our fur babies. She was very respectful, quick to respond, and super flexible with our schedule. She maintained constant communication and provided daily photo check-ins. Will recommend to anyone looking to board their pets. Thank you Heather!”


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: 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.

“Heather was fantastic! I get so nervous leaving Bandito with people and she sent me lots of pictures and videos to help put my mind and ease and show me how he was settling in. I will definitely be taking Bandito back. Thank you for taking such great care of my baby!”

About: Hi, I’m Bri! I’m a lifelong animal lover with professional experience as a pet sitter, dog walker, kennel technician, and kennel manager. In school to become a future Certified Veterinary Technician! I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, including seniors, high-energy pets, and those with special needs. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, or extra comfort while you’re away, I provide attentive, reliable care and treat every animal like family. I have open availability right now so pickup and drop-off anytime works for me. On my days off, I dedicate my full attention to your pets, making sure they get plenty of love, playtime, and personalized care. For everyone’s safety, I ask that pets are up to date on vaccinations, flea-free, and friendly with other pets. I can only accept small dogs, as my medium sized dog isn’t comfortable around larger breeds. If your cat prefers their own space, I can keep my cats separated to help them feel comfortable.
About: I love all animals, furry, feathery, and scale-y, young, old; cuddly or playful. I have experience with birds from volunteering at a parrot sanctuary; turtles and fish from previously raising them; and dogs. I have three small dogs at the moment, but have cared for all sizes. I am attentive to instruction and hold myself to a high standard of care and would love to meet your furry babies. I currently available everyday of the week, at all times and would be happy to take care of your fur babies and make sure they are engaged while you are away. I prefer having a meet and greet beforehand to ensure the services go smoothly and comfortably for your pet. I will care for your pet with the passion I take care of mine, but in accordance to their own routine. I'll make sure they only thing they are missing is you, and never waiting long for medicine, food, or potty breaks.
“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.”

“Kristina and her boyfriend are amazing people !!! My puppy was well taken care of without me in site. Kristina also sent me a lot of good pics while he was there and kept me updated on what was going on and everything. I think I have a lifelong friend now with them both!! They have beautiful spirits and great energy to be around. I look forward for Paco to go over there again and again !!”
“Geraldine was extremely competent and made it easy for us to relax, knowing our senior dog was in good hands. She created a chart of Chloe’s needs from my notes and kept us updated on all of the important stuff! Very sweet and keeps a clean home. Will gladly book again :)”

“Nicole was amazing! I contacted her last minute to walk my pup and she was completely willing to help me out. Copper seemed happy when we arrived home later. I would definitely book her again :)”
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 dogs and cats ranging from young to old, big and small, various personalities, energy levels and administrating medications. This includes rover, work, family and friends, and volunteering at a few vets/adoption organizations. I’m even great with non furry animals. I’ve had/have reptiles and mantises as pets. So I think it’s safe to say I’m a jack of all trades when it comes to taking care of your babies! Also, if you know your pet isn’t super friendly towards other cats or dogs, it’s okay! I’m currently a college student via online courses and a kennel tech with a flexible schedule. Therefore I let the owners choose the times they need or want. I love my fur babies so much. I stay on top of their health, daily exercise at the park, nightly walks and treats! I do the same for any pet because they deserve it!
“DeAndre is dependable, trustworthy, and caring. He goes the extra mile to ensure our pups are well taken care of at all times. He provides photo updates and notes about his walks and visits. I highly recommend him and will continue to book with him.”

About: I love all animals and even have a dog of my own name zora. I've worked in grooming shops and even ran one for about 10 days straight which included boarding (with cat's and dog's), doggy day, care and even washing dogs. It was one of the best jobs I've ever had because I got to play with dogs and help them learn tricks and made sure they had food and fresh water and clean kennels and if meds given on time. I walked them and and played with them too and I felt better knowing there in good care as I know there is a lot of bad care. I would love to take care of your pup's and cat's while your away or on vacation and even walk them or drop in's too. I've done a lot of training with my pup and grew up with animals as my mom runs a grooming shop and so did my aunt plus the grooming shop I worked at that I grew up around called Sam and boos. I also worked there until I had to go back to school in another county. I would truly love to help! I am home everyday and have plenty of time to spend on caring for all the babies I have 2 of my own Zora and Zelda standard poodles that I love to spend time with and take for walk! Your babies are my full focus! My pets have the best life I could provide for them they are my main priority I own fish hermit crabs and 2 dogs! I would give your pets the same care I give mine! My animals always have fresh water there meals on time or how ever there feeding schedules are! I make sure they are comfortable happy and healthy and safe! I do crate my dogs when I leave for short periods so I know they are safe!

“Madison took excellent care of our dog. She sent photos and updates regularly. Our dog always looked happy and comfortable. She was well and happy when she came home and not stressed like she has been when staying at other boarding facilities. We are so happy to have found Madison. We hope to board our dog with her again in the future. Thank you Madison!”

“To tell you that Rachel and her husband were absolutely wonderful with our fur baby Hank, would not do them justice. She kept me up to date with pictures and videos throughout the day to let me know what Hank was up to and show me how much fun he was having at their house. They made sure to follow his feeding schedule, brushed him, ran him, and cuddled him all weekend. Their two pups are so friendly and welcomed my guy into their pack instantly. I knew he was in good hands with Rachel and her family. I didn’t have to worry about him while my husband and I were out of town, so we were able to enjoy our anniversary trip while he was on a little vacation of his own! I’m telling you, as a crazy worrier dog mom, I won’t think twice about leaving Hank with them in the future. If you need a sitter, these people are the people!”

“Heather is amazing!! She provides so many updates, pics, and videos, so I know my boy is well taken care of and loved! I don't trust very many people with my pup but I trust Heather! Thank you so much!!”

“Tyeshia is one of the most caring people I have ever come across. She’s patient and kind and went out of her way to take care of my pup River. You should really talk to her and that’s all it takes you will feel rest assured your fur babies are well taken care of. Tyeshia thank you again.”

“Jessica is literally the best. Sends lots of photos, gives lots of updates, genuinely cares about the animals. We are so appreciative of her and her mom!! Can’t recommend them enough!”


“I was very happy with Valerie! My dog Bernice is an only dog and does not do well around other dogs. She is a rescue and a little afraid. I was very comfortable leaving her with Valerie. She took excellent care of Bernice and I really appreciated the photos! I will use her again.”

“Janiya took the reigns right away when we pulled up to drop Blu of for the week. With this being his first time starting long term we weren't sure what to expect but Janiya's positive attitude and enormous amount of patience with our fur baby gave us the confidence we needed. We highly recommend Janiya to care for your pet. Hey professionalism and kindness goes a long way and she will most certainly have a lifetime client!”
