“Mafe took amazing care of my fur babies! From the photos she sent, my dogs looked so happy, relaxed, and truly at home. It was clear they were receiving so much love and attention. Mafe and her family were exceptionally kind and gentle with them-I honestly think my dogs were a little upset to leave! I had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such a caring environment. I will definitely be using Mafe again. Highly recommend!”
“Heather was absolutley wonderful! Her communication was excellent from start to finish. She kept updated and gave us total peace of mind while we were away.

We are so grateful for the great care and would gladly book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Monica was wonderful with our dog, Chase! She kept us updated with messages and pictures throughout our trip, which gave us so much peace of mind.

I would definitely trust her with Chase again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog sitter! 🐾”

They sent updates and videos of him playing with their dog King. We will definitely use them in the future if we need a sitter.”
About: I have always had a pet growing up. I used to have cats when I was little and then eventually turned to dogs. Currently back at home I have three dogs that I love so so so much. Here in Greenville I share custody of a dog, Saint, with my boyfriend. I love to walk so that is no problem for me when it comes to walking dogs. I also worked as an assistant for almost two years where one of my main priorities was taking care of her pitty :) I currently work part time so my availability is pretty open! I spend a lot of my time outside on walks, so it only makes sense that I open the door to including pets on my walk. I do stay in an apartment so I don't have yard space for pets, but I am willing to drive to dog parks or walking trails. I also don't mind going to other peoples home to care for their animals.
“Flora and her family are so sweet, accommodating to a slight change in plans, and overall just fun people. Great yard and clean house in a safe location. We got plenty of pictures and videos in that 36 hours. You can tell our pups were loved like their own! Our dalmatian and Newfoundland had a great time with Dixie, Tango, and their other booking Steve. We are in the area for a couple more months and just wish we had used her sooner! We will definitely rebook a couple more times if schedules align”
“Ms. Karin was absolutely amazing with my new puppy!!!! She went above and beyond with my little one!!!!! Clean home, big backyard, amazing communication. "Noodle was very well taken care of!!!!! Don't choose anyone else if she's available!!!!”
“Megan took care of my goldendoodle Pinki , You can really see her love for animals. She is so charismatic and attentive. You would be silly not to hire her to care for your animals. She is a package deal!! 10/10 Would reccomend!”
“Amazing service. She took great care of my dog and had great communication with me, providing updates and pictures. Would definitely use again and recommend to anyone.”
“Morgan took great care of my dog! She kept me up to date at all times and sent me many pictures as evidence that my dog was having a lot of fun! Whenever I need someone to care for my dog, Morgan will be the first on the list!”

About: I have two cats of my own and understand that every cat has unique needs. One of my cats has ongoing bladder issues, so I'm experienced with closely monitoring litter box habits, recognizing changes that may need attention, and following care routines. My other cat is very adventurous and loves to jump fences, so I'm always mindful of safety and preventing escape attempts. Caring for my own cats has taught me patience, attentiveness, and the importance of tailoring care to each cat's personality and needs.

“Stephen did a great job at keeping us informed everyday. All seemed to go well. Unfortunately, my boys are not social at all and hid from Steve every time he came over.

About: My experience with cat care started 8 years ago, and my time working with kittens is much shorter, less than 2 years. Learning firsthand at animal shelters as a kid how quick cats can go from loving and vulnerable to sometimes fearful and or/irritable taught me most felines have unpredictable emotions. Because of this I learned to approach and treat cats much differently from how I would a dog to get a better chance of bonding. I currently live with three cats and including them I have cared for almost every different coat color besides the infamously chaotic orange tabby.
About: What sets me apart in cat care is my veterinary background combined with a lifetime of hands-on animal experience, including growing up on a farm caring for livestock. I understand that cats require a different approach — patience, observation, and respect for their boundaries. I’m experienced in administering medications (oral, topical, and injectable), monitoring subtle changes in behavior or appetite, and supporting senior cats with mobility or chronic conditions. I’m also comfortable caring for kittens who need structured supervision and enrichment during critical developmental stages. From litter box monitoring and enrichment play to recognizing early signs of illness, I provide attentive, low-stress care tailored to each cat’s unique personality and needs.

“Summer was great! This was my 1st time using Rover and the process was seamless. My fur baby Denali had a great time and was exhausted when I picked her up. I appreciated the update with pics and would definitely use Summer again when needed.”
“Madison was extremely helpful with my Maverick. Not only did she accommodate pick up and drop off times, but she was also able to sense Maverick was overwhelmed on the first day, and took the time to get to know him. By the second day, he was much more relaxed with her and Benji, so I know he was in good hands. Would definitely recommend and book again. Thanks, Madison!”

“Kiley was a lifesaver for us! Our usual dog sitter/walker couldn’t assist us and I was able to book Kiley on short notice. She went to our home and took exceptional care of our 7 month old Yorkie, Dash! I can’t say enough about how great she was with him. We received updates and photos which we were grateful for. Thank you Kiley! We look forward to booking you again soon. -John and Brianna”
About: My experience into dog care started 9 years ago, and my time working with cats started less than a year later. My experience of both dogs with a hyper or dissociative personality and felines with bad temperament was mostly gained while working at various animal shelters. Some shelter dogs and cats are not temperamental on their own but sometimes will instinctively react to those who are being the aggressors, as is their nature. it's often very similar at dog parks- A Gathering of many unknown dogs, some likely to be reactive to others and always a few having chance of causing a fight. Something I keep in mind for safety every time I have an interaction with a dog I don't know while walking someone else's that I was entrusted the care of, is that other animals I don't know will always be unpredictable. Outside my charity work for shelters, for an even longer amount of time I've taken care of pets of many ages and breeds for family/friends going on 9 years now. I have handled many large breeds; Labradors, Huskies, Great Danes, German Shepards, Mastiffs. I have also worked with various medium and small sized breeds. My total 2 years of experience with puppies was spread out caring for and helping raise pups my sister had gotten. Between raising puppies and trying to work with pets giving me a hard time during the course of my many dog sitting jobs I have seen and learnt countless things about our furry friends! To list a few; common dog and cat habits, nutrition, toxic foods for dogs, signs of aggressive body language in pets, and abnormal behavior alongside possible causes. Any and all pet needs such as sitting, walking, etc. I'm available to do every day of the week, as I have a clear schedule for the time being. When at a client's house, if instructions are not already given to me I will ask the owner's typical routine with their pet and see what they want or need done for their dog or cat. I'd Also ask general house rules like backyard access, and if I could entertain the fuzzy friends with toys for enrichment.
