“Joe and Celeste were very kind to my pup and I would highly recommend them to anyone. They were very nice and curteous, and kept us informed our doggie's activities all week long. Thanks!”
“Jennifer and Matthew were incredibly accommodating for our sweet 9 y o Boston Terrier. We were frequently updated with texts and pictures and when we had a flight delay it was no problem. We love that their back yard is fenced in as our dog loves to lie in the sun. We wouldn't hesitate to use them again and highly recommend them as pet sitters.”
“Donna has watched our dog multiple times and can’t say enough good things about her! Our dog loves her and she takes great care of him, always sending pics and videos.”
“Abigail went above and beyond to make sure our Cam, and Barkley were safe. She sent up dates everyday with pictures and even bath them twice, She made them feel right at home as if they were her own. I would definitely use her services again. Thank you for all you do”
“Skyla took great care of Trigger. She is very accommodating and kept me informed of how he was doing. Her pup Louie and Trigger were great pals. Trigger made himself right at home.”
“Janet agreed to board Pinto Bean for 3 days on short notice when I found out the Myrtle Beach resort my family booked was not pet-friendly, after all. She made him feel right at home, and he had a blast running and playing with her small dog, Racer. She sent updates and photos every day, which put my mind at ease, and even gave me some training tips for him when I picked him up. Janet, thank you, and I'm sure Pinto Bean will be seeing you again someday!”
“Highly recommend Kyle, he was very communicative and took very good care of our dogs. Our dogs were happy and tired out by pick up time, we will definitely be booking again in the future!”
“If I had more than five stars I would gladly give Melissa more! This was our first time using Rover and our Lizzy’s first time overnight for a whole week with a stranger. Melissa was amazing from the start. Made sure Lizzy (and we) were comfortable there. She provided me with regular updates and pictures all week. She has a few sweet little dogs of her own and they became fast friends with Lizzy. She gave Lizzy free rein of her home, took her for walks and gave her lots and lots and lots of love!! I would hire Melissa again in a heartbeat!”
“Lara was great!! Moxie seemed to warm right up to her and her family. She kept me updated with pics and video. I will definitely be contacting her in the future for any doggy sleepover needs!!! Thanks again Lara!!!!”
“Buffy enjoyed her visits at Katelyn's, from her Meet & Greet right through her stay. The entire booking process was easy and flawless. Kately followed all written instructions, provided speedy, thorough communication and photo updates. We look forward to booking a future reservation with Katelyn when needed.”
“Amanda and her famous amazing! Any worries we had went away during our meet and greet. During our time away, we stayed with updates which made our trip even better. Amanda is very responsive and professional. I highly recommend her. Our pup got much needed play time and socialization skills with other dogs - something we were not able to do at home. 5 stars to you Amanda! You guys R O C K!!”
“Debra was fantastic! She took such great care of our dog when we went on vacation for the week. She sent us pictures to keep us updated. She has a fenced in, private backyard which was perfect for our dog. We would definitely use her again in the future.”
“Atina was amazing! Aspyn, our 15w/o Mini Aussie is a ball of energy and needs lots of attention, so I had several questions and requests before booking. Atina delivered perfectly! I loved that Aspyn received one-on-one attention, playtime, daily walks, and socialization with her senior dogs while still sticking to her normal routine as much as possible. She accommodated everything I needed, and offered more, which I appreciated so much. From the moment I arrived and saw the setup she created for her “clients”, it was obvious she has truly found her calling and goes above and beyond for every fur baby in her care. The regular pictures and updates made being away so much easier. Aspyn will continue to go on vacation with us, but stay 15 minutes away with Atina. I highly recommend Atina for dogs of any age! Everyone needs a little Atina in their life!💜🐶✌🏼”
“My job requires flexibility. Danielle worked with me, responded quickly and made my changing scheduling easy. Most importantly, the updates and photos Danielle sent while caring for my pet provided comfort knowing he was happy and doing well. I will use Danielle again in the future.”
“She was AWESOME! My baby Bubba has a new auntie. I didn't worry at all while on vacation because Katherine made him so comfortable and now he has a friend in Bailey for life! I would leave Bubba with her every time...”
“This was my first time using Rover services, naturally I was anxious. After meeting with Joan I was immediately relieved. My Sadie was made to feel right at home and fell in love with Joan’s dog Parker. Joan was very accommodating to my schedule and very kind. I recommend her very highly”

About: I have had and taken care of cats my whole life. I have a cat of my own now and also live with others in the home.

I have cat sit for multiple people and am ready to take on more kitty clients.

About: I understand, as a pet owner myself, that finding someone you trust to care for your furry family members isn't easy. Well, look no further because I'm your girl. I am the sole owner/operator of My Kids Have Paws Pet Sitting, and I have relocated to Longs, SC. I've built a successful clientele base in Colleton County over the last several years, and I'm excited to bring my experience, passion, and love for all animals to Horry County. I have a special place in my heart for furry, four-legged kids. I've opened my heart and home to many dogs & cats through the years, and I'd love to share that love with your precious family members. Animals are where my heart is, and I love spending my day engulfed in the unbridled enthusiasm and love that these wonderful creatures provide. I've also really enjoyed volunteering at animal shelters, and I wish that I could rescue them all. That's just one reason you can trust me to care for your pet as if they were my own. I've made caring for your furry kids my full-time DREAM job. My services include a drop-in visit while you're away or overnight care in your home. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, chinchillas, and reptiles, and my specialty is small farms including chickens/birds, horses, pigs, goats and cows. You can feel confident knowing your babies are in great hands with me. After all, my kids have paws. Love, Heather Adair I have been pet sitting full-time since 2017 and my goal is to keep your fur babies in their usual happy & comfortable in their routine. I love what I do and again, I'm stepping in to mimick your pet's routine and give them lots of love and attention while you're away.
“Dace took care of our cat when we were out of town for a few days. She was prompt, spent plenty of time with our cat, and sent really cute pictures. Our cat isn’t the friendliest gal but Dace was able to earn her trust and she is a fantastic fit. Highly recommend Dace to take care of your fur babies. She’s awesome!!”
About: I've taken care of cats since I was a little girl. My first pet was a tuxedo kitty named April. From social butterflies to the timid babies. I've cared for them all. I have administered medication and given shots. Look forward to meeting your fur baby!
About: I’ve had Cats my whole life in all stages of life kitten-seniors. I’m ready to provide whatever care you need dropping in to feed and water them, keeping your litter box clean while you’re away, administering pills and topicals when needed, etc
About: I’ve always taken care of our pets whether it was my dog, cat, or others. I have been in-house sitting two dogs for family friends for some time now and would like to expand. I have always had taken care of my pets and currently have a dog, two cats, and many other animals. I help ensure that all animals are taken care of and thriving. I also try my best to take my dog on rides at least once a month to get him out of the house. I do online classes in the evening after work so I’m able to provide care for them as they need it. I made sure that all animals are well fed and have a comfortable, clean environment. My close family friends spoil their dogs and I definitely try my best to make sure I continue their lavish lifestyle by giving them treats, playing with them, and even having them sleep with me. I am more than willing to adapt to each companions quirks and lifestyle.
“Marie was kind enough to watch our Kitties over the Christmas Holidays. We were supposed to be home on January 2nd but our flight got cancelled on us. Marie was kind enough last minute to watch our cats and extra 4 days last minute.”
“So friendly and kind. She's been so helpful with me and my kitties while I get over an Achille's reattachiment. Marvin (my orange kitty) is the only one with the courage to meet her so far. The other two are scaredy cats.”
About: I have owned cats since I was young. I have 5 years of vet tech experience, giving me the confidence and ability to care for cats of all temperaments and needs. I am capable and happy to provide care for pets needing special care like medications or special accommodations. I have plenty of educational and hands on experience with oral medication as well as insulin, IV fluids and other medication of the likes. I am extremely diligent about cleanliness and taking things an extra step (I.e. Playing or giving additional attention to kitties who prefer it.) I understand that many do not care for interaction with strangers but deserve the same level of care, regardless.
About: Updated: 09/04/2025 I’ve always owned multiple pets and have taken care of neighbor’s pets since I was 11. I’ve been working on and off through rover for about 8 years now but have much more experience pet sitting aside from rover (if you’re wondering why there are only a few recorded sits on my profile). If your animal needs special care such as medication, diaper/pad changing, extra exercise, etc, it’s no hassle at all on my end and I’m experienced with all of these and more! I’m comfortable sitting any animal and I’m comfortable with pet/house sitting that requires me to stay over at the house or visit the house. I completely understand any requirements that ensure the pet’s comfort or your peace of mind :) Feel free to ask me any questions! I care for pets in my own home which gives me more insight to both caring for the pet and understanding the perspective of an owner. This also unfortunately means I can’t board pets at my own house. I live in a house with a dog and a cat and I prioritize their comfort so I don’t want to board other pets in my home with them.
About: I’ve had my dog Chloe since she was a pup, I’ve crate trained her, she knows how to sit, shake, and speak when given a treat. I work full time but willing to work around my work schedule and my days off to take care of your fur baby to feed, walk, potty breaks. I care for my pets with lots of play time, cuddles, love and attention, walks in the neighborhood. I make sure I follow their routine schedule if they have one.
About: I have cared for cats since high school, and animals have always held a special place in my life. When I was a sophomore in college, I adopted my first cat at 3 years old and saved him from being sent to a shelter. Since then, he has been my world, and I’ve made it a priority to give him a loving, supportive home in South Carolina where he feels safe, comfortable, and cared for by my family that loves him just as much as I do. That experience strengthened my passion for animal care and my belief that every pet deserves patience, compassion, and a home where they feel secure!

“Amanda was GREAT!!! First time doing doggy daycare and I was highly satisfied. As I pulled into the driveway both her and her daughter was outside waiting on Luna. Throughout the day she messaged me on how Luna was doing and also sent pictures. She enjoyed so much she slept from the time I picked her up til the next morning. Definitely booking on the regular.”
“Digo loves being at daycare! Janet keeps him active and assures that he is socializing with other dogs. She takes him outside often and keeps him inside when weather is not conducive. She introduced him to kiddie pool and she reinforces training including housebreaking and simple commands such as “sit”. Janet is also very flexible with schedule - I’m a nurse and my hours are very early and long! We are very fortunate to have found Janet!”
“Joe and Celeste were great with my little guy. Their two adorable pugs were the icing on the cake! My pup had a great time playing with them. And the best part? a front bay window bench seat with a little doggie ramp where they sit and watch squirrels and a spacious fenced-in back yard where they run free. Definitely worth it!”

“I was nervous about leaving Velma with a sitter for the first time, but it turned out great! Jennifer sent several updates throughout the day which put me at ease. Velma was happy and worn out when we got home.”
About: I’ve grown up with cats my whole life and currently have a 15lb dachshund and 3 cats in the house. All are very friendly. Any animal is welcome in my home. I work in a hospital three days a week. So I have four days completely free to take care of your pets. My bestfriend lives with me as well and is always around to help. There’s always someone home. I’ve served 5 years active duty navy and currently in the reserves so I do have common sense and can read and follow directions with precision. I have a car if needed for any reason and love being outdoors as much as possible so we can always go on nice long walks. I have a huge fenced in yard so we’ll spend plenty of time in the sun.
“Left our fur baby with Skyla while we were visiting from out of town. Skyla was great and loving! She made Luna feel comfortable and provided her with lots of activities and play time. She kept us informed throughout the day which made us feel at ease. So thankful we were able to count on her to watched Luna while we vacationed!”
“Cheryl was a wonderful pet sitter, she took very good care of my dog that has separation anxiety. She only takes one dog at a time which I love, I know that my dog is going to get the attention that she needs. Sheryl is very thoughtful caring and made my dog feel very comfortable. She took her on long walks, and made her feel comfortable. I will definitely use her again whenever I am in town. She is the best dog sitter in this area.”
“Atina and Sean were very patient with our boys, our older one is very anxious and doesn't like to leave Mom too much. Atina made sure to reach out to me and let me know that Finnegan is adapting well and doing a great job settling in for the day! We would recommend them again to anyone.”
About: I have been a Yorkie, schnauzer or spaniel owner for years and just love the little furry family members. Currently Maggie May (my sweet rescue) and I love the opportunity to walk, keep and cuddle your "family member". I even make dog biscuits for the cutie pies if their owners give the okay. The safety and happiness of your dog is my primary concern. They will get a lot of love and the best possible care. Bottom line, I am an animal lover! I have been the go to person for my friends for years when they need a dog sitter or walker. I love having four legged friends as guests in my home. I work from home so am always available for the fur babies. Generally most of our furry friends love sitting in my office with me and checking out what is going on outside from the double window on the front wall. I have a fenced backyard and enjoy walking my Maggie May everyday. We enjoy playing together and just sitting ourside on the patio in the sunshine.
About: I love animals and would love to help you out for any needs you need. I am at home all the time. Fenced in back yard. I work from home and have all the time to give outing outside and love while they stay in my home. I also have a teenager that would love it. I have a fenced in back yard and no animals at this time. So if you don’t want them around other animals I can do this too.
About: I absolutely LOVE animals....I had a miniature long haired Dachshund for 15 wonderful years. He was very will taken care of and I miss him dearly. I would love to spend time with your fur baby. I will treat your pet as if he or she were my own and will take very good care of your baby!! Anything you need done for your adorable pet, I will gladly take care of, whether feeding them, walking them, administering medications and just loving them. I will do it all. Please feel free to contact me, when my service's are needed and to make your life easier and to know, you will have nothing to worry about, when it come's to your babies. I have relocated to the Calabash area and have such a Love for animals, that I decided to take it on full time. I want to focus all of my time on the care of animals and retire from the medical field, which I was doing for over 20 years. I will walk, feed, administer any medications and take care of any pet as an owner wishes. I have all the time in the world now.
About: What Sets Me Apart Your pet won’t just be “watched” here—they’ll be truly cared for like family. Because I work from home, your pet will have consistent, all-day attention, plenty of interaction, and lots of love. They’ll never feel alone or overlooked. I bring a lifetime of hands-on experience with all kinds of animals, so I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and needs—from playful pups to more timid or senior pets who need a gentler touch. My home offers a large yard for safe play and fresh air, giving pets the space to run, explore, and enjoy themselves while staying in a secure, supervised environment. Most importantly, I’m naturally gentle, patient, and attentive. I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, preferences, and quirks so they feel comfortable, happy, and at ease while you’re away. You can expect regular updates, lots of affection, and peace of mind knowing your pet is in a calm, loving home—not a kennel. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily life because I run a small in-home business, which means I’m home the majority of the day. Having furry friends here is truly a bonus to my routine—I love the extra company and all the snuggle time they bring! Throughout the day, I’m able to give pets consistent attention, potty breaks, playtime, and affection, rather than just quick check-ins. Whether it’s relaxing nearby while I work, playing outside in the yard, or curling up for naps, your pet will be included in a calm, loving environment. Because I’m already home and active, your pet becomes a natural part of my day—not an afterthought. They’ll get plenty of interaction, supervision, and love. My goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and loving home environment where your pet can relax and feel right at home. I’m currently in the process of having my yard fully fenced, and in the meantime, all outdoor time is closely supervised to ensure your pet’s safety. Pets in my care enjoy a balance of playtime, rest, and affection throughout the day. I provide fun activities like outdoor play and even water play on warmer days for pets who enjoy it. Inside, there are plenty of cozy spots to nap, relax, and feel secure. With your approval, I love to offer treats and positive reinforcement to help pets feel happy and comfortable. I also include gentle pet massage and extra snuggle time, which many dogs absolutely love—it helps them relax and feel at ease while they’re away from home. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine and personality so they feel safe, cared for, and truly part of the family during their stay.
“Our pup had an incredible time today, all thanks to Arianna! She clearly has a genuine love for dogs and an amazing ability to connect with them. Our dog, Sandy, came home happy, tired, and clearly well-cared for. Arianna is a true gem, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to any dog owner looking for top-notch care and a fun, safe environment. Five stars!”

About: Growing up in the animal rescue and care world, I’ve looked after everything from horses to mice. Over the years, I’ve fostered, reconditioned, and rehomed abused and abandoned animals, helping them learn to trust again. I’m experienced in animal behavior across life stages, including neonatal and senior pets. My goal is to provide every animal I meet with as much love, guidance, and attentive care as they deserve. I live on a small homestead with my husband, a stay-at-home dad and disabled veteran, and our four children. I’m a self-employed Realtor and the owner of LABZ Pet and Farm Sitting Services LLC, so I have the flexibility to build my schedule around my clients’ needs. I’m currently attending Unity Environmental University, working toward my Bachelor of Science in Companion Animal Behavior. My program is fully online, which means I can bring my laptop with me and easily keep up with coursework during overnight stays or extended sits. I strictly follow the guidelines and routines you provide, because you know your pets best. When no specific instructions are given, I use a thoughtful, age-appropriate schedule for dogs and cats at different life stages. In general, I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and engaged: walking and playtime, refilling food and water according to your specifications, cleaning up any messes, and providing baths when needed. I can also pick up pet supplies or groceries upon request, so you come home to happy pets and a stress-free environment.

“Mikayla did a fantastic job taking care of our dog for 3 weeks while we visited the area. She walked & played with him and made him feel very comfortable during his time away from home. My husband and I highly recommend Mikayla!”
About: I’ve cared for and owned animals of all kinds. I have experienced in Dog, Cat, and some reptile care. I promise to provide a safe environment for your pets while keeping open communication and providing regular updates. I’m currently a college student who is working part time in Wilmington. Due to that my availability is limited to Friday-Sunday anytime rain or shine For all clients I will provide the same level of care that i do for my own pets constant play, supervision, and potty breaks. For daycare clients my pets will be out of the home. I also have access to 7 acres for your dogs to roam and play in (supervised and on leash) and an already pet proofed home.
About: I've been caring for dogs for many years, both through pet ownership and helping family and friends with their pets. Over the years I've owned a Golden Retriever and currently have a high-energy Border Collie, giving me plenty of experience with active dogs that need regular exercise, play, and attention. I've also cared for multiple Golden Retrievers, a Mini Australian Shepherd, and a Lab mix. My experience includes dogs of all ages, from raising puppies to caring for senior dogs, and I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs. During the summer, I have a flexible schedule due to being off from my full-time job, which allows me to accommodate a variety of walking and drop-in visit times. I'm happy to work with your dog's routine and can often provide weekday and daytime availability. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. As a longtime dog owner and caregiver, I understand the importance of patience, attentiveness, and building trust with every dog. I've cared for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs, and I always tailor my approach to each dog's personality and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, fetch, or a slower-paced outing, they'll receive plenty of care, supervision, and affection while they're with me.
About: I’ve been trusted to take care of others dogs and cats since I was 14 (walk, feed, bathe). I am open to any breed. I also work with both dogs and cats. I also have some experience with reptiles, as I have a bearded dragon of my own. I started Rover because I have 5 fur babies myself and I understand it can be stressful to leave your babies in the care of someone else, but I hope to make that worry free for you. I will love and care for your fur babies as if they were my own. I currently have a very flexible schedule so have plenty of time to play with your pups and kitties! I am pretty much available anytime! I am very attentive to my animals diets and needs so I will be just the same for your fur babies. I have experience with animals ages ranging from 9 weeks old to 15 years old. I have a lot of time to give to your babies and would love to care and play with them!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 5, growing up my street had so many chihuahuas. I will take care of your pets like they’re my own. Right now I’m in college so I’m doing this for a little extra money and for something to do. I would love this extra time to care and love your pets as if they are my own plus it would give me something to do. (I promise I have so much free time on my hands this would really help lol) I would keep your dog inside. We would do activities such as walking your dog at a park or around my house. You must bring your own dog/cat food.
About: Updated: 09/04/2025 I’ve always owned multiple pets and have taken care of neighbor’s pets since I was 11. I’ve been working on and off through rover for about 8 years now but have much more experience pet sitting aside from rover (if you’re wondering why there are only a few recorded sits on my profile). If your animal needs special care such as medication, diaper/pad changing, extra exercise, etc, it’s no hassle at all on my end and I’m experienced with all of these and more! I’m comfortable sitting any animal and I’m comfortable with pet/house sitting that requires me to stay over at the house or visit the house. I completely understand any requirements that ensure the pet’s comfort or your peace of mind :) Feel free to ask me any questions! I care for pets in my own home which gives me more insight to both caring for the pet and understanding the perspective of an owner. This also unfortunately means I can’t board pets at my own house. I live in a house with a dog and a cat and I prioritize their comfort so I don’t want to board other pets in my home with them.
“Marie did an awesome job. My Zoey seems to really like her. We did a meet and greet. She was friendly and interacted with Zoey. Zoey took to her right away. Showed up on time. Great dog walker.”
About: I provide personalized, loving care tailored to each pet's unique needs. I focus on creating a stress-free, happy environment for both pets and their owners. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because my schedule is open and flexible. I can provide consistent attention, walks, feedings, and playtime whenever needed. I care for pets like family. At my home, they enjoy my fenced in yard, playtime and attention. In clients homes, I follow rountines, give exercise and provide loving care.
About: I am a certified, licensed, and insured dog trainer and the owner of Chaos To Clarity K9. I work with dogs and their families on obedience, leash skills, everyday manners, and behavior challenges. Many of the dogs I help are everyday family dogs who need guidance with things like pulling on leash, barking, jumping, reactivity, or learning how to settle in the home. I also enjoy working with puppies and helping owners build strong foundations early through clear communication and consistency. I have a strong interest in behavior modification, especially helping dogs work through fear, stress, and reactivity at a pace that keeps them comfortable and learning. My husband is a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) and a combat veteran and former military police K9 handler who trained civilian police dogs. Because of his veterinary background, I’m also able to consult with him when behavior questions may have a possible medical component, which can sometimes play a role in behavior. I also understand that dogs live in real families with real challenges. I live with multiple sclerosis and am raising an autistic four-year-old, so I appreciate how important it is for training to be practical, realistic, and supportive of the household environment. My goal is always to help create calmer, safer, and more enjoyable relationships between dogs and the people who love them. One thing that’s very important to me is paying attention to canine body language and stress signals. Dogs communicate constantly through subtle changes in posture, facial expression, and movement, and recognizing those signals early can prevent many behavior problems from escalating. During training, I help owners learn how to recognize what their dog is communicating so they can respond in a way that builds trust, confidence, and better behavior over time. Dog training is part of my regular weekly routine, and I intentionally keep my schedule structured so each client receives focused attention. My current training availability is: • Tuesday: 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM • Wednesday: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM • Thursday: 9:00 AM – 8:00 PM • Saturday: 10:00 AM – 8:00 PM • Sunday: Afternoon appointments available by request Closed: Monday and Friday Because each dog and family has unique needs, I limit the number of training sessions I take each week so I can provide thoughtful, individualized guidance and follow-up support between sessions. Safety, trust, and clear communication are always my top priorities when working with dogs and their families. I pay close attention to canine body language and stress signals to make sure dogs remain comfortable and able to learn during training. Training sessions focus on creating a calm, structured environment where both the dog and owner can succeed. I work at the dog’s pace and help owners understand what their dog is communicating so they can respond clearly and confidently. My goal is to create training plans that are safe, practical, and sustainable for everyday life, helping dogs feel more secure while helping owners feel supported throughout the process.
About: I have a lifetime of experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes as well as 9 years professionally training dogs of all shapes, sizes, breeds and temperaments. I train basic and advanced obedience, working dogs, service animals and more. I am confident and comfortable caring for dogs that otherwise might be difficult for others without experience in the behavioral field, while keeping safety at the forefront of every interaction. Additionally, I have 5 years of vet tech experience, giving me the ability and willingness to care for pets with medical problems, senior pets, pets requiring medication or pets with special needs. I have owned and cared for farm animals for much of my teenage and adult life, allowing me to offer care for pets outside of the home such as bovine, horses, goats, pigs and chickens. I am comfortable with birds, reptiles and exotic pets, having raised rabbits most of my life as well as owning guinea pigs, snakes, sugar gliders and a quaker parrot. I am CPR certified and have attended several emergency care courses for cats and dogs. My passion has led me to providing pet care and dog training services full-time, allowing for me to provide services for you and your pets year-round! I provide pet care and training services full time, year-round! I am available for last minute requests and can handle care for pets with special needs or behavioral problems- keeping safety for both parties as a priority. I am situated on 4 acres in Loris. I am set up to care for dogs of different temperaments and preferences and have multiple fenced in yards to allow for play times and potty times in small groups or individually as needed. In the summertime, morning bathroom breaks are longer to allow for plenty of playtime before it gets too hot outside. I provide at LEAST 4 bathroom breaks throughout the day. During peak heat hours, outside breaks are shorter but indoor play is prioritized. Once things cool off in the evening, I provide another longer playtime outside. Not every dog cares for or does well with other dogs so temperament testing will be done before they are free to play with the others. All dogs are supervised when out at all times. Dogs in my home will be kenneled for bedtime or if I need to run a short errand (groceries, doctor appointment, private training lesson with a client, etc.) Care in the client's home will be discussed before the job starts. Everybody has different preferences and I strive to provide the best care possible for pets while owners are away!
About: I understand how nerve-wracking it can be to trust someone else to care for your beloved furry family members! I come here with the assurance that I will treat your pet as I would my own: spoiled with love!! I've had dogs and cats and a variety of other critters my entire life, so I have the experience. I hope to have the privilege of taking care of your fur babies! I work full time currently, but I would like to build a pet care clientele enough to be able to do this full time instead! I am very protective of my own dogs, so I understand the importance of their safety. I will do everything in my power to keep your babies safe as I would with my own.
About: Animals have always been a meaningful part of my life. Caring for my three senior dogs has given me experience with the patience, compassion, and attentiveness older pets need, and my family’s strong belief in adoption, especially senior dog adoption, has shaped my passion for animal care. I have also spent years volunteering at animal shelters, which has strengthened my love for helping animals feel safe and cared for. I provide reliable dog and house sitting services with experience in overnight care and following individualized feeding, medication, walking, and daily care schedules for pets of all ages and needs. My goal is to give families peace of mind through kindness, empathy, and dependable care! I’m looking to work part/full time, especially through the summer months, where I can be a reliable sitter for either pets or a household! I’m available every weekday and can work on weekends depending upon requests, and will always be transparent regarding my availability. I currently own 3 senior dogs and 1 cat, and take care of them alongside my family every day! I care for every animal in a client’s home with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own pets. I pride myself on being timely, reliable, and dependable while ensuring each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for in their environment. Whether it’s following detailed schedules, providing overnight care, administering extra attention to senior pets, or adapting to specific needs, I approach every family and animal with compassion, respect, and genuine dedication!

“Jennifer and Matthew were incredibly accommodating for our sweet 9 y o Boston Terrier. We were frequently updated with texts and pictures and when we had a flight delay it was no problem. We love that their back yard is fenced in as our dog loves to lie in the sun. We wouldn't hesitate to use them again and highly recommend them as pet sitters.”
“Donna has watched our dog multiple times and can’t say enough good things about her! Our dog loves her and she takes great care of him, always sending pics and videos.”
“Abigail went above and beyond to make sure our Cam, and Barkley were safe. She sent up dates everyday with pictures and even bath them twice, She made them feel right at home as if they were her own. I would definitely use her services again. Thank you for all you do”
“Skyla took great care of Trigger. She is very accommodating and kept me informed of how he was doing. Her pup Louie and Trigger were great pals. Trigger made himself right at home.”
“Janet agreed to board Pinto Bean for 3 days on short notice when I found out the Myrtle Beach resort my family booked was not pet-friendly, after all. She made him feel right at home, and he had a blast running and playing with her small dog, Racer. She sent updates and photos every day, which put my mind at ease, and even gave me some training tips for him when I picked him up. Janet, thank you, and I'm sure Pinto Bean will be seeing you again someday!”
“Highly recommend Kyle, he was very communicative and took very good care of our dogs. Our dogs were happy and tired out by pick up time, we will definitely be booking again in the future!”
“If I had more than five stars I would gladly give Melissa more! This was our first time using Rover and our Lizzy’s first time overnight for a whole week with a stranger. Melissa was amazing from the start. Made sure Lizzy (and we) were comfortable there. She provided me with regular updates and pictures all week. She has a few sweet little dogs of her own and they became fast friends with Lizzy. She gave Lizzy free rein of her home, took her for walks and gave her lots and lots and lots of love!! I would hire Melissa again in a heartbeat!”
“Buffy enjoyed her visits at Katelyn's, from her Meet & Greet right through her stay. The entire booking process was easy and flawless. Kately followed all written instructions, provided speedy, thorough communication and photo updates. We look forward to booking a future reservation with Katelyn when needed.”
“Amanda and her famous amazing! Any worries we had went away during our meet and greet. During our time away, we stayed with updates which made our trip even better. Amanda is very responsive and professional. I highly recommend her. Our pup got much needed play time and socialization skills with other dogs - something we were not able to do at home. 5 stars to you Amanda! You guys R O C K!!”
“Debra was fantastic! She took such great care of our dog when we went on vacation for the week. She sent us pictures to keep us updated. She has a fenced in, private backyard which was perfect for our dog. We would definitely use her again in the future.”
“Atina was amazing! Aspyn, our 15w/o Mini Aussie is a ball of energy and needs lots of attention, so I had several questions and requests before booking. Atina delivered perfectly! I loved that Aspyn received one-on-one attention, playtime, daily walks, and socialization with her senior dogs while still sticking to her normal routine as much as possible. She accommodated everything I needed, and offered more, which I appreciated so much. From the moment I arrived and saw the setup she created for her “clients”, it was obvious she has truly found her calling and goes above and beyond for every fur baby in her care. The regular pictures and updates made being away so much easier. Aspyn will continue to go on vacation with us, but stay 15 minutes away with Atina. I highly recommend Atina for dogs of any age! Everyone needs a little Atina in their life!💜🐶✌🏼”
“My job requires flexibility. Danielle worked with me, responded quickly and made my changing scheduling easy. Most importantly, the updates and photos Danielle sent while caring for my pet provided comfort knowing he was happy and doing well. I will use Danielle again in the future.”
“This was my first time using Rover services, naturally I was anxious. After meeting with Joan I was immediately relieved. My Sadie was made to feel right at home and fell in love with Joan’s dog Parker. Joan was very accommodating to my schedule and very kind. I recommend her very highly”

“This was the second time we left Ollie with Luciana and Carlos and we couldn't be happier! He was so excited to see them when we dropped him off. Ollie is treated like a member of their family and he is truly loved and cared for by them. It brings us such peace of mind knowing that we can leave him with such wonderful people. We won't leave Ollie with anyone else! 🥰🐶”
“Jorie is wonderful! We have used her services multiple times and couldn’t be happier! You can really tell she loves dogs. She is excellent at providing text and picture updates to give you peace of mind while you are away on a trip. Finley had a great time visiting and playing with her pup Bailey. This last time he was so excited to visit he was pulling on the leash to get inside Jorie’s house. I think that shows you that Finley loves it there. (I can tell you that he sure doesn’t do that when we go to the groomer… lol). I Definitely recommend Jorie to care for your furry family member.”
