“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!”

About: Growing up on a farm, I took care of many animals from a young age- cats, dogs, horses, rabbits and chickens. As an adult, I have always had an animal and love taking care of friends and family's pets. I've taken care of puppies, kittens and senior dogs as well and can provide them all the love and attention they deserve I'm currently working part-time, and have time to play with your pups and cats! Whether it's an early morning walk, evening let out or taking care of your fur baby in your home while you're away- they'll be in good hands. I am happy to come to your home and care for your pet while you're away. I love taking walks so they can stretch those legs, feel comfortable crating animals if that's their routine and happily can play fetch with them in the backyard.

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.

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.
