“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.”

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!

“April was absolutely wonderful and took such great care of Tasha while we were away for the weekend! She was dependable, caring, and gave us complete peace of mind knowing that Tasha was in such good hands. We couldn’t have been happier with her and would absolutely recommend April to anyone looking for a fantastic and trustworthy pet sitter!”

“We came back home to two wonderful and content kitties. Christine did a great job taking care of our two shy cats and our house. We were in constant contact so we felt safe to leave them in her care.”
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.

“Madison was great! She was extremely warm and friendly and it was clear that she made our pet feel loved and cared for while we were away. She took detailed notes when we explained our preferred care for our pet, and was very thorough with her check-ins, being sure to send cute photos and detailed visit summaries. You can tell that Madison truly loves all animals and pets, and we cannot recommend her enough!”
“This was our first extended trip where we had someone outside of our family watch our cats and Heather took great care of them. She kept me updated each visit and let me know how everyone was doing. We will definitely use her again in the future.”

“I was unsure how Bristol would do, as she is very much a “velcro” dog and has separation anxiety. But, Bristol seemed to really enjoy herself. Kassie sent me periodic updates, as well as pictures and a video.”
“Anj took wonderful care of our cavapoo. Her communication was wonderful and she was very flexible, even administering his eye medicine when he injured himself the day of his first stay with her. We feel very confident using her services again and recommending her to anyone.”
About: I am a lifelong animal lover living on a working farm, so caring for animals is part of my everyday life. I own dogs of my own as well as livestock, giving me hands-on experience with animals of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Being attentive, patient, and proactive with animal care comes naturally to me. My farm provides a calm, safe environment with plenty of room to explore, run, and play. Dogs staying with me will enjoy lots of fresh air, exercise, and enrichment throughout the day. Whether your dog loves long walks, free time to stretch their legs, or just relaxing in a peaceful setting, I tailor care to their needs and routine. I treat every animal as if they were my own and understand that each pet is unique. From high-energy pups to laid-back companions, I focus on comfort, safety, and plenty of love while you’re away. I am available 7 days a week for boarding. Taking care of animals is my daily job so adding in a few more is no big deal around here. Here is an idea of a daily schedule for your pet: -Morning potty break, breakfast, and walk -Supervised outdoor play with room to run -Midday rest, check-ins, and enrichment -Afternoon walk or playtime -Dinner, evening potty break, and wind-down -Final potty break and bedtime Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Living on a working farm, I am experienced in supervising animals and maintaining a calm, structured environment. Dogs are always monitored during outdoor time, with secure areas for play and exercise. I follow each dog’s individual routine and needs, including feeding schedules, walking preferences, and activity levels. Whether your dog enjoys active play or a quieter pace, care is tailored to them. My farm offers plenty of space to move, explore, and relax in a safe, stress-free setting. With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and livestock, I understand animal behavior and take trust seriously. You can feel confident knowing your pet is cared for with attentiveness, consistency, and respect—just like one of our own.

About: I have worked at a vet clinic for 5 years as a vet assistant so I’m very knowledgeable in the field. I have taken care of family dogs and 1 personal dog. I’ll be available Tuesday after 3:30pm, Thursdays after 12:30pm, and some weekends until October 14th. I’ll have a different schedule after that as I’ll be in a different stage of vet school. Please feel free to message me about a time! I will only be available to go over to the client’s house. I will treat your pet with respect and how I treat my baby.
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.
About: I currently work and have been working at a Vet clinic for about 6 years now. I’ve been pet sitting even longer, about 8 years! I have experience with dogs, cats, rodents, fish, and birds. I also have experience staying overnight, drop-in visits, giving medications, and dog walking. I currently work part-time at a Vet clinic so I will absolutely have time in between, before, or after my 3-4 hour shifts to let out, feed, play with, or walk with your pets! 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 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: 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!

About: My whole life I have always preferred animals over humans so as an adult my goal has been to turn it into my profession. I have cared for all kinds of animals from bugs to sheep, the least being livestock but i would love to learn more and better my skills in every way I can. With animals I am always down for whatever can or will come my way. In the most recent years I have been doing a lot of work with the pups that are a little extra spicy✨ after finding my own dog in a corn field and her ending up with reactivity and aggression, it really opened my mind to not just be a dog lover but someone who understands dog behavior to be able to keep them happy☺️ Unless I am out of town(rarely happens) I can almost always make it work! Even if it’s adding an xtra visit to make sure your baby gets everything they need🫶🏻 I care for every animal like I would my own babies. I like to keep things as close to normal for them as possible so never feel like you are telling me too much!
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.
