“This is the second time we have left our sweet Miller with Ashley and her family and we are so thankful for them!! We received pictures of him having fun and playing football with the kids, which we loved knowing he was having a great time! They always take such great care of him and we are able to relax and enjoy our trip. I highly recommend them!”
“Very attentive. Our old girl gave him a pretty rough first night. He took great care of her despite her being the messiest girl in the room. I would definitely recommend to take care of your furry friends.”
“Sarah and her family were great to my pup Smokey Monroe. Smokey got plenty of walks and frisbee time and also had other pups to play with. Sarah sent photos and was very communicative. Overall Smokey had a great time and was well care for while I was away.”
“There are so many good things to say about Gabrielle. I don’t even know where to begin. First she saved us out of a bind our Airbnb screwed us and we had to book another one that did not accept pets.Gabrielle responded quickly professionally and most importantly warmly. Her kind, friendly and jovial demeanor instantly put me at ease. After all, I was leaving my dog with a complete stranger an area I’m not familiar with and with a bunch of other dogs And humans. Can you blame me for being nervous? She put all of that at ease with her frequent communication pictures and paid careful attention to make sure my Boston terrier was properly cooled in this intense summer heat. if I ever am back in the area, I will definitely reach out Just to give my dog the treat of hanging out with Gabrielle, lol.”
“Diane was amazing! Her whole family gave Lucky tons of attention and exercised him often. She was very attentive to his needs and gave me picture updates frequently. I highly highly recommend booking with her!”
“Samantha did a great job taking care of Mia for a whole week. She was even able to feed Mia her farmers dog food three times a day. She took Mia for walks and kept her separate from much larger dogs. Mia loved her visit. She also showed us pictures of Mia throughout the day. We felt so much better during our vacation knowing Mia was in good hands.”
“If I could give Danielle and her husband 10 stars I would. Our dog hurt his leg two days before we were to leave on a eight day cruise and she took great care of him, giving him his medicine and making sure he didn’t jump, go down/up stairs or play too hard which anyone knows is hard in itself with a dog. She offered to take him to the vet if he got worse and kept us updated every day. They are amazing honestly and we definitely will be using her going forward. If you are looking for a groomer she has her own grooming business as well called Hugz-N-Kisses Pet Spa definitely check her out!!!”
“Natalie is my first choice for pet care, she does an amazing job taking care of my dog when I go out of town. The photos that she sends gives me peace of mind that my dog is greatly enjoying her time in her care. Thanks Natalie!”
“Polly loves her time with Tasha and her wonderful family. She likes playing in the big, fenced-in, back yard and playing with other pups and humans during her stay. I love getting the frequent updates and pictures while I am away. I know Polly is taken well care of and loved by Tasha and her family. I recommend 100%.”
“Carey was literally amazing, I am so happy she was able to take my dogs for a night on a day of request. Seriously so sweet with the sweetest kids that played and loved on my pups for a night. No complaints and so happy to have found her!!!”
“Our dog was well taken care of. He was not stressed when I picked him up. Larissa sent progress notes and photos everyday. I will definitely be using Larissa's services in the future!”
“Olivia was very attentive to our needs for Leila. She shared some great videos with us which made us feel relaxed & happy that our girl was well taken care of.”

“Marcia was fantastic with my Finn. We met prior to booking, so I could see her setup and Finn could get a feel for his accommodations. Marcia was very reassuring, as I was nervous to leave Finn with someone new. She sent daily updates, including new photos every day, and it was obvious Finn was happy and comfortable. I would rebook with Marcia in a heartbeat and highly recommend her for anyone else in need of a sitter!”
“Great sitter for our pups for a weekend out of town. Took photos and gave us updates. Huge backyard with fenced in pool to allow our dogs to play in the sun! Even accommodated a later than usual pickup after our flight got delayed. 10/10 recommend!”

“One of the best sitters we’ve had. Our dogs really enjoyed being in her home. I received many pictures and videos of them having a blast. 100% recommend booking her”
About: One of my biggest strengths as a pet sitter is my high energy and fun loving personality. I genuinely enjoy being active, whether that means long walks and jogs or playing fetch for half an hour. Whether your pet wants to cuddle on the couch or burn off energy with playtime, I'm happy to match their pace and make sure they feel safe and happy while you're away. I'm out the door Monday- Friday from 0730 to approx. 1600. I could walk/run/feed your pets in the morning prior to then and anytime after I'm home from work. Saturday and Sunday I am very flexible :) I have two cats that I will keep upstairs to give your pet the privacy and space on the first floor when boarding. I live in a townhouse with a small front and backyard but would most likely be walking/ jogging around the block with your doggo if boarding.

About: Hi! I’m Carrie, and I’m a lifelong animal lover who understands that pets are family. As a Navy retiree, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive, reliable care and plenty of one-on-one time with your pet. Whether your furry friend needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm and caring companion while you’re away, I’ll treat them as if they were my own. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you complete peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! Since my kids are pretty grown now, it seems my life revolves around my animals. I am active, so I love to take the pups for walks or hikes (depending on weather). The cats sort of do their own thing, but I’m always down for cat snugs. Our home does allow animals to have free roam. They are allowed in all rooms and on furniture. If your babies are not good with cats, we will not be able to take them. We will give them all the love while you are away and send your photos as much (or as little) as you would like. In your home I will respect all your rules. If you don’t want them on furniture or particular rooms, just let me know and we will follow those guidelines. The love and photo sending mentioned above applies here!
“Danielle watched our cats when we were out of town and was great. She gave great updates and let me know when there was issues with our litter robot and solved the problems. We would definitely rebook with her in the future.”
“Lizzy is extremely trustworthy! She not only looks after our cats as if they were her own, she also informs us if anything in the house seems off. Our cats absolutely love her on top of that!”
“Alanna was amazing. She was prompt with checking on Katsu and took a lot of pictures, which I appreciate. We will definitely rebook if we need someone to watch our cat again. Thank you so much Alanna!!”
“Abby was great! She was very responsive to a last minute booking request and helped us out in a pinch. She was great at communicating and sending pictures. The whole process was easy and comfortable, we will definitely book again if we need a sitter!”
“Thank you so much Tessa! She did a great job taking care of my two cats and I could trust that they were in good hands. She brought in packages that came while we were gone and even left treats for both kitties even though they hid most of the time. I definitely will rebook in the future!💜”
“Kar was fantastic! We got constant and wonderful feedback the entire time we were away. We will for sure try to book with her again during any future travels. I would 100% recommend her to anyone needing a compassionate and friendly sitter for their fur babies!”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and sizes, including puppies, adult dogs, and cats. My experience includes daily walks, feeding, playtime, and providing lots of love and attention.

About: I have multi-dog household experience. There has always been at least two dogs in my house growing up, they’re my favorite animals. I have a chocolate Labrador named Whiskey, and a Schnoodle named Max. My chihuahua sadly passed away. I love to meet and have other dogs in my house. I’m comfortable administering oral medication if needed. I’ll send daily photo updates. I’m a stay at home mom so there’s always time to care and play with our furry kids. I wake up between 6-8am and go to bed by 10pm. When I need to leave the house to run errands, I don’t take longer than 3 hours at a time, so I make sure my pets are taken outside for potty and water breaks. There is a fenced area in the back of our house, and a big open area. I can take them out on a leash if needed or crate them if they’re not house trained.
“Brittany, her sweet Luna pup, and husband (Wade) are fantastic! My nutty buddy had a super fun day. Brittany kept me posted and I knew my pup was in wonderful hands. She's incredible warm and welcoming and I would absolutely book again.”

“Steven and his family did a fantastic job caring for my pup! Walks, play and he even gave him a bath after a long day of play. Steven was very cordial, prompt and sent some pics throughout the day!”
About: We have been taking care of dogs since 2018! We are so enjoying it!! Hubby walks the dogs and I cuddle and play! It's a win win for your fur baby! For doggie day care we are available between 8 am and 6pm Monday through Friday. Would love long term . We do have one small dog. For boarding we are available both weekdays and weekends. We have a nice fenced-in backyard and my husband takes the dogs out for walks when possible! When that option isn't available,they have dedicated playtime in the yard.We have one dog that is not initially playful but takes a while to warm up but he does typically! I do require a meet and greet before committing and for pets to show proof of rabies shots,heartworm and flea and tic treatments. I work part time outside the home but my hubby works part time in the home so rarely are we both gone at the same time. I have a fenced in yard and my husband tries to walk our dog daily.Typically will hit the area walking trails. If necessary, he is willing to walk animals separately(older dog who can not walk as long or dogs who have health challenges)Our dog is aloof and takes a bit of time to adjust but usually does. We are attentive to this and supervise very closely until we see how things are going to be. We own both a large and small dog crate and can separate them if needed

“Suzanne and her husband took great care of our pup, even as he became ill. How much she cares is truly uncommon and so appreciated. I want to note how she even took care of our home, cleaning up after the sick pup. Maury looks forward to the next time Suzanne is coming over for a walk!”

About: I’ve spent time with all kinds of animals, senior dogs and cats who move a little slower, horses who think they’re in charge, and even ducks, hamsters, and turtles. I pay attention to what each pet needs, whether that’s a gentle walk, some extra cuddles, or just hanging out quietly together. I like getting to know their little quirks and making sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away!! I work full-time, but I’m typically available for lunch visits, evenings, and most weekends.

I work Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:00-4:30, have morning and full evening as well as full weekend availability as I am typically in the area.

I will treat your pet and your home as you would if you were there, adhering to the guidelines and requests that are laid out upon hire. This includes cleaning up after your pet, ensuring a comfortable environment for them, and allowing you to return to everything being as it was left upon your departure.
About: I grew up with dogs as a kid. As an adult I’ve owned 2 dogs for a total of 4 years. The first I had for 3 years and had gotten him from a friend due to PCS. My current is a GSD that I got as an 8 week puppy who is currently over a year old that I trained myself. I currently work about 6-8 hours a day but have a short commute to work so if needed, I am able to check in on pets on a more frequent basis. I take my dog outdoors pretty frequently since he’s high energy whether it be on walks or for play in the yard. At least once a week, I take him somewhere public to work on his socialization and training with distractions. We train pretty frequently as well and have to say he does pretty well so if you’d like, I can assist in anything you’re trying to train. Disclaimer though, I’m not a professional trainer, only dogs I’ve trained are the ones I’ve owned. I live in a house with a pretty large fenced yard. I’m a big advocate for dogs getting activity, whether that’s physical like a walk or play outside or if it’s any kind of mental stimulation. My dog is crate trained and stays in his crate while I am not at home. I would prefer the same of your pet to ensure safety of your fur baby while I am away. Once I’m home, I allow my dog to free roam the house and will do the same for yours. My dog has been around several dogs and cats and is very friendly, social and playful, however, if needed, I have the ability to separate animals that don’t get along to ensure their safety. If there’s any questions on care I provide, please feel free to reach out! I’m pretty flexible and will do my best provide the care your pet is used to/needs.

About: I’ve been dog sitting on the side for several years for friends and family. Rover is a great way for me to spend time with pups while still being able to travel.

I have base access, and I’m very flexible with pick up and drop off.

I wake early and go to be early as I am not your average college student at CofC:) My first priority is ensuring safety, and knowing what specific commands and instructions each pet requires. I ensure good communication with my clients and make sure they are cared for and loved. I love taking videos and pictures of your pets because it’s important to me as well as a pet owner. I have one cat and one dog and am responsible for all their care and medical needs. I take my dog to the dog park to do an obstacle Course and have a backpack to take my cat on walks outside safely.

“This is the second time we have left our sweet Miller with Ashley and her family and we are so thankful for them!!

They always take such great care of him and we are able to relax and enjoy our trip. I highly recommend them!”

“There are so many good things to say about Gabrielle. I don’t even know where to begin. First she saved us out of a bind our Airbnb screwed us and we had to book another one that did not accept pets.Gabrielle responded quickly professionally and most importantly warmly. Her kind, friendly and jovial demeanor instantly put me at ease. After all, I was leaving my dog with a complete stranger an area I’m not familiar with and with a bunch of other dogs And humans. Can you blame me for being nervous? She put all of that at ease with her frequent communication pictures and paid careful attention to make sure my Boston terrier was properly cooled in this intense summer heat. if I ever am back in the area, I will definitely reach out Just to give my dog the treat of hanging out with Gabrielle, lol.”

We felt so much better during our vacation knowing Mia was in good hands.”

“Marcia was fantastic with my Finn. We met prior to booking, so I could see her setup and Finn could get a feel for his accommodations. Marcia was very reassuring, as I was nervous to leave Finn with someone new. She sent daily updates, including new photos every day, and it was obvious Finn was happy and comfortable. I would rebook with Marcia in a heartbeat and highly recommend her for anyone else in need of a sitter!”

About: One of my biggest strengths as a pet sitter is my high energy and fun loving personality. I genuinely enjoy being active, whether that means long walks and jogs or playing fetch for half an hour. Whether your pet wants to cuddle on the couch or burn off energy with playtime, I'm happy to match their pace and make sure they feel safe and happy while you're away. I'm out the door Monday- Friday from 0730 to approx. 1600. I could walk/run/feed your pets in the morning prior to then and anytime after I'm home from work. Saturday and Sunday I am very flexible :) I have two cats that I will keep upstairs to give your pet the privacy and space on the first floor when boarding. I live in a townhouse with a small front and backyard but would most likely be walking/ jogging around the block with your doggo if boarding.
