Our boys seemed to enjoy staying with Kassie- she loved on them and they loved having other dogs to play with. Our Aussie can be a bit sad/anxious when we leave him- but both our dogs did wonderful. She sent us pics, which was great! I would highly recommend her!! Thanks, Kassie!!

Jennifer is great! This was my first time leaving my cat with someone that wasn’t my family so I was really nervous. She made the entire process easy and is so nice and friendly. She kept me updated on Piper with pictures and sweet text messages the entire time.

Xiana took SUCH good care of our 3 kitties, she paid close attention to all of the details I told her about how to care for them, communicated amazingly with me the whole time, and provided so many cute pictures of our babies so that we could see how they were doing!! She is such a sweet, caring, and attentive person. :)

My cat Fig loved her time with Anj, and I loved knowing she was getting lots of playtime, pets, and her food and water taken care of. Anj sent pictures each time she visited Fig which gave me peace of mind seeing how happy she was, even while I was away for a week.

About: I have several years experience working for a pet sitting company doing house visits and dog walking. During this time I gained a lot of great knowledge on how to properly care for cats and dogs. I've had my own pets over the years as well, I currently own 2 rabbits. During a house visit I would be sure to feed, water and take them out to potty. I would also make sure to give them plenty of attention if they like that. If you have a cat I can scoop or change litter if needed as well as keep the area clean where the litter box is stored. I am also available for 30 minute walks with your pet to make sure they get the exercise they need. I look forward to hearing from you! I have a flexible schedule, willing to work with yiy to work with you to figure out what works best for everyone with your pets needs in mind first. I am only available to care for your pet in your home, I will take great care of them and treat your home with respect.

About: I've also had cats my entire life, including raising kittens and caring for rescued cats. I understand that every cat has a unique personality some want constant attention while others prefer their space. I'm experienced with feeding, litter box care, playtime, administering basic care, and recognizing when a cat needs a little extra patience or comfort. I know how important it is for cats to feel safe in their own environment, and I'll make sure your cat receives attentive, gentle care while you're away.

Heather is fantastic! She went above and beyond to ensure my pets’ care while I was away. Heather treated my pets as they were her own, stayed in close contact every visit with photos and updates. Heather asked about making a judgment call that would allow better comfort for my pets as well. I have not known another pet sitter who cared more for my pets. Next time I am away, Heather is my pet sitter again.

About: Hi, I'm April! I’m new to the Charleston area. Animals have been a central part of my life for years, both professionally and personally. I have extensive experience caring for a wide variety of animals, from household pets to wildlife, and I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry (or scaly) family members. My background includes working as a dog trainer, kennel attendant, wildlife rehabilitation intern, and animal care professional. As a dog trainer, I worked one-on-one with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, helping them learn new skills and overcome behavioral challenges. As a kennel attendant, I provided daily care for dogs, cats, and exotic animals, including feeding, administering medications, exercising pets, cleaning enclosures, and monitoring their health and well-being. I have experience handling everything from energetic puppies to senior pets and dogs with special behavioral or medical needs. Through my work in wildlife rehabilitation, I also gained experience safely handling animals, administering medications, and recognizing signs of illness, stress, or injury. Currently, I am working towards my masters in wildlife biology and research, which has strengthened my attention to detail, responsibility, and commitment to animal welfare. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, overnight care, or simply some extra companionship while you're away, I will treat them with the same care and respect that I give my own animals. I know every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I take the time to learn their preferences so they feel comfortable, safe, and happy. I also understand how reassuring updates can be while you're away, so I provide regular photos and communication throughout each visit. I look forward to meeting you and your pets!

Brianna was a fantastic walker for our two dogs. She was a great communicator, super reliable, helpful, and so detailed in her walking notes. Our dogs loved her and she was amazing with them. I felt much better leaving my pups at home during the day knowing that Brianna was going to come see and walk them. Highly recommend her!

About: I’ve never lived without an animal in my life I know the basics and more. I would give your pet so much care and love! I’m going to Eastern Illinois University for biological sciences with a pre-vet pathway. I hope to one day be a veterinarian, but I know wherever I go there I will be working with animals! I’m very passionate about what I do, I take pride in my work. I work part-time and my schedule varies , but only a regular of 4-5 hour shifts so I wouldn’t be away for long! I also am a full time student at EIU but I will always work your pet into my schedule and give them the care and love they deserve! We can always work out what days i’m free I can always stop by if I can’t stay longer! I would make sure the house stays clean and would take care of the pets and that’s all. If asked to sweep or water plants I would also do that!

About: I know what it takes for a dog to have a wonderful time! Too many dogs spend their days stuck in a kennel, and it breaks my heart. I also believe that it helps a dog to stay in familiar surroundings. I offer in-home pet-sitting, not just for your convenience, but for the best interests of your dog. I’ve raised dogs all my life. Over time, my interests turned to breeding and showing. I presently have my own dogs, Stanley and Stella. 2 mini shar pei. These experiences have made me deeply aware of what a dog needs to be happy and healthy. Meet-and-greets are essential for obtaining all necessary information in advance of the sit and making sure everyone gets along well. You’re entrusting me with both your dog and your home, and I treat that responsibility with the utmost seriousness. I’ll be punctual, and will ask about everything I need to know during the sit. During the stay, I will maintain a daily diary of what your dog and I are up to, so that when you return, you’re assured we had a fantastic time. I have been showing and breeding for over 30 yrs. we had a thriving pet sitting/transport company for many years before retiring to Wisconsin. Don't trust your pets to just anyone. Trust in my experience!! I am able to administer meds either orally or via injection. I am safety conscious and care for your beloved pets! I provide drop in service and house sitting. Iprovide additional services like watering plants and bringing in mail at no additional charge. I pet sit for bogs, cats, birds and horse. Little friends also like gerbils or snakes !! Trust your pet care to an experienced pet sitter ! Feel free to contact me with any questions or for more information. I work full time with Rover. I have a busy schedule so let’s chat and see if I’m available during your time of need a pet sitting or housesitting. I only do care in your home. I do not do any boarding. My belief is your pet will be more comfortable in his own surroundings. This makes for a stress-free pet sitting

About: I am a proud mother of a 9yr old son and an 15 yr old daughter.. My daughter is usually at school for most of the day. However, caring for both full time I have come to notice animals stimulate both kids and teach them respect, responsibility and routine. We are excited to em"bark" on this new chapter in life and cant wait to start. Together, I believe all 3 of my family unit would not only love, but sincerely enjoy even the smallest and largest pets while their 'parents' are away or just need some attention. With summer upon us - my schedule (and helping hands) have become more flexible. Currently, I am available every day from 6am to 7pm. Holidays, weekends, and every day that ends in "Y"! With respect to the pet , clients home, and specific care needs, I try to always keep an open mind and heart but keeping respect in the foreground.

I have been pet sitting for a while and do well with a pet’s instructions and/or schedules whether specific or not! I also care for the houses by cleaning up any messes and following any care instructions from the owners!

About: I started pet sitting when I worked at my first vet clinic. And, because I love animals so much, I have never stopped. I grew up with dogs, cats, ducks and every pet in between! Currently, I have 2 dogs, a Jack-Russell mix named Jake and a Beagle mix named Macy. They are extremely pet/people friendly and they love new company! Also, I worked as a veterinary assistant for a a few years, so I am very comfortable with administering medications and taking care of your pets special needs. I will provide whatever accommodations that are needed and I will make sure that your pets feel safe and comfortable. Most of all, I will always keep an open line of communication with you. I know how it feels being away form your pet and I know the importance of regular updates and pics. I look forward to hearing from you and I can’t wait to met your pets! :) 🏡 House Sitting + Boarding 🏡 (Overnight) Evening - Morning; I do offer some flexibility, however there could be an additional fee if check in/out times are drastically different from what I have set. I currently work from home full time. This means I can fully dedicate all of my time to your fur babies and their individual needs. I will care for your pet/pets the same way every single time. And, I will always treat your pet/pets as is if he or she were my own.
