“I felt my dog was in good hands while in Jill’s care. She provided updates including pictures to let me know that all was well. She takes extra steps to ensure dogs are safe and happy. My dog was right at home in Jill’s comfortable and safe home. I am happy I found Jill as a dog sitter, I will use her again and would recommend her services to others.”

“She is just lovely! What a warm, loving young woman. Dodger fell in love with her husband, a new form of puppy love. I will use her again and will recommend her to everyone!”

“She’s absolutely great with our Golden Retriever, I was chocked how her name Joy suits her so well, she’s a lady full of joy, that’s for sure!! Our pup was so happy and was treated so well! Joy communicated promptly and sent us videos, we were so happy and definitely will book again in the future!!!”

“Amanda was great with Sammy! She has a fenced in backyard, took him outside for walks, and sent lots of pictures, videos, and updates. She was always quick to respond to my texts and was also very flexible with drop off and pick up times. Her two dogs are very friendly and Sammy seemed to very much enjoy his time with Amanda and her pups. Would definitely recommend!”

“Amber was absolutely amazing with our girl!! She had the perfect set up and I knew from the moment I met her, our pup was going to be very well loved and cared for. She sent me pictures the whole weekend! I highly recommend her!”


“Jocelyn was an absolute lifesaver! She stepped in at the last minute to watch my dog over the weekend and did an amazing job. She kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dogs was happy and well cared for when I got back. I’m so thankful for her reliability and care and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy pet sitter!”

About: Lifelong animal experience – I’ve cared for animals my entire life, not just as a job but as a way of life. • Real dog-owner perspective – With 2 dogs of my own, I understand routines, energy levels, training reinforcement, and emotional needs. • Calm, patient care – Great for shy, anxious, senior, or high-energy dogs who need consistency and understanding. • Individualized attention – I don’t do “one-size-fits-all” care. Walks, play, feeding, and downtime are tailored to your dog. • Trust & reliability – I show up on time, follow instructions closely, and communicate clearly so you can relax while you’re away. • Home-style love – Your dog is treated like family, not a booking. Hi! I’m Shelbie, a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats of all personalities. I live in a peaceful rural area with plenty of space for play, walks, and safe adventures. Your furry friend will get the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away! Dog Boarding (In My Home – Female Dogs Only) For the safety and comfort of all pets in my care, I only board female dogs. My Australian Shepherd has a strong personality, and keeping our home harmonious means I cannot accept male dogs. Female pups are always welcome, and they’ll receive lots of love, playtime, and cuddles in a safe, home environment. I work full-time from 8–5, but I’m happy to stop by during my lunch break for local drop-ins to take your sweet guy or girl out for a potty break, walk, or some love. I’m available after 5 PM, all day on Wednesdays, and all weekends. I’m reliable, flexible, and always happy to work with your pet’s routine whenever possible. I care for pets with patience, consistency, and lots of love—whether in my home or yours. While I don’t have a yard yet, I live close to a dog park and provide plenty of walks, playtime, and mental stimulation to keep dogs happy and exercised. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, play, and downtime. Safety and comfort always come first, and I make sure pets get individual attention, affection, and enrichment. In your home, I respect your space while ensuring your pet feels secure and relaxed in their familiar environment. I’m attentive, reliable, and treat every pet as if they were my own.

About: I've always been the one friends and family call when they need someone to watch their dogs, and I've loved every minute of it. I never had a dog growing up because of allergies in my family, so this is my way of getting my dog fix! I love spending time with dogs, whether it's going for walks, playing, or just hanging out. I'll make sure your pup gets lots of attention, love, and care while you're away. I currently work full-time, but I'm available before and after work during the week and have open availability on the weekends. My available schedule is: Monday–Thursday: Before 7:30 AM Monday: 1:30-2:30pm Monday: After 7:00 PM Tuesday & Thursday: After 2:00 PM Wednesday: After 4:30 PM Friday–Sunday: Available all day I'm happy to work with you to find a time that works best! My goal is to keep your pet's routine as normal as possible while you're away, whether that means sticking to their feeding schedule, going on walks, playing, or just giving them plenty of attention and company. I want you to have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for in their own home.
About: I have never lived without a dog in my life, my family trains hunting dogs so I am very familiar with training and dog behaviors. I currently work two part time jobs, one more part time then the other but I'm available on weekends and wednesdays and weekdays after 3pm. I have one pup of my own who is very friendly and loves to make friends and a large unfenced yard, can crate if needed but the crate would need to be provided.

About: I’m a lifelong cat lover with experience caring for cats of all ages and personalities. From playful kittens to sweet seniors, I understand that every cat has unique needs—and I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. If your cat needs medication, extra patience, or senior-specific care, I’ve got you covered. Need brushing to keep those coats smooth? Interactive playtime to burn energy or relieve boredom? Or just a calm presence and cozy companionship? I’m your girl. I treat every cat with respect, gentleness, and lots of love—because cats deserve care that feels safe, familiar, and stress-free.

About: Dogs deserve to feel at home while they’re away from home! I have cared for and trained dogs for most of my life and have plenty of time and love to share with them. I currently work from home and am home with my dogs all day. I would love to spend time with your dogs whether you are away at work or are having fun on vacation. My home can be the place where your puppies have fun on their vacation too! I have a fenced in yard for the dogs to run around and safely play outside and cozy dog beds and a couch for them to sleep inside.
“First time Haylee had taken Dexter. Everything went good. I sounds like he friended the other dogs and Haylee. Her communications were appreciated. Excellent dog sitter.”

About: I have a 10 year old black lab who has brought me years of happiness. Unfortunately, his activity is limited these days and I miss our long walks and trips to the lake. I've had cats and dogs my entire life (our family also includes 2 tuxedo cats) and enjoy their company and the hours of entertainment and love they give. I am retired from nursing but still have a desire to work and find this line of work to be very rewarding in many ways. Your pet will be loved and cared for in the same way mine are and I'm sure will bring me just as much joy. I am retired and can offer multiple days and times to care for your pet in a caring setting; no need to worry about them. My black lab, lives a pretty charmed life. He is an indoor dog with access to a large yard and an abundance of bones, toys and love to keep him happy. He likes his routine and I understand how important that can be for your pet. He is safely secured in our yard when outside and comfortable inside with his orthopedic beds, and he deserves it all. Our cats are indoor cats and tolerate other dogs well and also live a pretty charmed life.

“We are so happy we found Jocelyn! Nala had a blast with Jocelyn and her fur crew! She shared several updates and pics throught the day. This was our first time using Rover with Nala bc she is very timid but she warmed up and fit right in. We'll definitely be booking again if we're in Myrtle. We came to visit and had to bring her at the last minute. Thank you so much, Jocelyn!”

About: Growing up my mothe raised German shepherd puppies and wolf puppies. There isn't a time I can remember not having one! After moving out I adopted a golden retriever mix and later took in a Rottweiler mastiff mix. Lots of experience in walking, training, bathing, and lots of other things when it comes to dogs! Over the years I've had quite a few cats and am able to take care of there needs! I'm currently a part time waitress with a 6 and 4 year old.. I've been trying to find something I can do that I love while they are in school or home with me! They have grown up around both cats, dogs and farm animals and know how to treat them well. I have a lead to put the dog out to get some time outside, otherwise there's plenty of trails for me to walk them. I'm able to crate (if provided).

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life! I started dog sitting for others when I was about 13 and have done it on and off since then. I work part time, so I have quite a bit of availability! I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to care for your pups! Monday - Thursday is completely open at the moment for dog walks or in home visits! My pup Rowdy is spoiled in the best way! We go for walks daily (usually at least 2 miles), we are outside the majority of the day and alot of playing of course!

About: I adore all animals (especially dogs!) and take pride in prioritizing your pet’s safety and comfort. Over the years, I've had the privilege of caring for dogs of all sizes, cats, birds, and fish! I'm committed to providing the same level of love and care for others that I provide for my own pet, a wonderfully wiggly cocker spaniel. I have professional experience training my spaniel on wildlife detection work, and I understand the needs of high energy breeds. I received two degrees from the University of Nebraska; a Bachelor of Science in Fisheries and Wildlife, and a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish. Two of my favorite activities include spending time outside, and giving lots of love to animals. I am currently working to build on my existing client base and have lots of time to play, walk, or keep your pet company. Have any questions? Ask away! I can accommodate your preferences- whether that's providing company, playing, exercising, or doing some scent work exercises to work your pooch's brain! The safety of your pet is my number one priority. On walks, I practice situational awareness and always keep an eye out for off-leash dogs or other potential hazards.
