“Joe and Celeste were so wonderful at taking care of our dogs and made them feel right at home. They’ve got a nice house with a huge fenced in yard that my dogs loved. They sent regular updates and even did a meet and greet before our trip. I highly recommend using them if you’re in the Myrtle Beach area. We definitely plan on booking with them again.”

“This is my first time boarding Trigger with Skyla and he loved it there. He’s a rescue and very wary and after he got comfortable Trigger made himself right at home. Skyla has two sweet pups and Trigger really took to Louie the chihuahua. Louie is quite the ambassador! Thank you for taking such good care of my sweet boy.”

“We were extremely happy with the updates the pics and video they sent,and our pup seemed very happy with them. We will be using the again when we return to the area. Lee”


“Janet was absolutely wonderful to my elder Chihuahua Pork Chop and my new addition to the family Nacho. She took Wonderful care of them and kept me updated with photos. She has been my pet sitter since 2018.”

“Melissa is amazing and took wonderful care of my dogs! One of my dogs has a heart condition and takes medication. Melissa was so attentive and made her very comfortable. She is flexible and accommodating with drop off and pick up times which was very helpful to me. My dogs were so happy at Melissa's house. She loved and cared for them like her own. I will definitely be booking with Melissa again!”

“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...”

“Debra and her sister were excellent. Great flexibility, communication and updates. You could tell they both really love dogs and our Truffles was well taken care of while we were away. Will use again!”

“Jaimi was timely and very professional in dealing with both Mac, my English Cocker Spaniel, and me while she boarded him in her home. I would highly recommend Jaimi if she is available to board your pet.”

“Holly is truly the best! I had to leave my dog for a week with her while I went on vacation, and she was awesome! Sent videos/ pictures everyday, which was very reassuring! Moose had an amazing time and got to play all day with her pups. I can’t recommend her enough!! :)”

“Joan was absolutely amazing! She waited up for us late at night for drop off and was so welcoming and kind. Gunner had so much fun with her and she was the perfect care taker for him! He looked so happy in EVERY picture that she sent. If I ever need a place for Gunner in Myrtle Beach again, I will definitely be reaching out to her.”


“Cheryl was great with Buffy! Made her comfortable, made sure she introduced Buffy to her Dogs slowly so they would get along. She has plenty of space inside and outside for dogs to play. I was very pleased with the everyday updates and pictures. I will definitely use her again. She was very accommodating for me. Very nice lady.”

About: I have over 30 years experience taking care of dogs and will provide the love and care they need in their new "home away from home". I have a whole house generator so in case of storms, there will be no interruption in service. I am a very active individual and typically walk at least 3-5 miles per day with my little toy fox terrier. I am a nature lover and frequent the area's hiking trails and love to get out on the beach. I prepare my dog's meals using all natural ingredients (whole foods) and make a very healthy bone broth and organic barley. With parental permission I can use this as topper for your dog's kibble. I am a retired school teacher and am available year round. I am basically home all the time when I am not out on the nature trails. I would prefer sitting for dogs that weigh 30 pounds or less. Your fur baby will receive the love and attention it deserves from Caring Karen. I am a retired school teacher and when I am not out on the nature trails walking dogs, I am at home cooking or gardening. Your dog will receive lots of love and attention from Caring Karen.

I know most of my neighbors and this is my forever home.
“This was my first time leaving my fur baby with anyone not family and I was nervous but Amanda and her babies took such good care of her. I got lots of pics and was extremely happy. I’ll definitely be contacting Amanda again for future visits. My Lacey really liked her and her babies”

“Lori and her husband have been fantastic. Our first time allowing someone to keep our Bully. She has kept me up to date with text messages, pictures and videos. Already set up more boarding with her in the future”

“Lisa was phenomenal! Very accommodating with drop off/pick up times. Sent me texts while I was away and made me feel comfortable while leaving my fur baby with someone other than my mom. Will absolutely rebook in the future! Thank you again Lisa!”

“Amazing doesn’t begin the describe Ashley! This is the first time I boarded Yoshi away from home. Yoshi can get anxious so I was concerned how everything would go but Ashley was perfect! She sent me so many posts and pictures that I knew that Yoshi wasn’t just being taken care of but he was loved. She took him everywhere and he was clearly part of her family when he stayed with her. I would definitely use Ashely again when in Myrtle beach. I just wish I could give her more than 5 stars🐾♥️🐾♥️”

“Savannah is a reliable pet sitter who was there for my cats in an emergency situation where I could not fly back from a work trip on schedule. I appreciate her attention to detail, prompt responses, and willingness to reach out if she noticed anything unusual. Definitely recommend her!”


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: 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: Growing up I lived on a livestock farm so my life for animals came natural and at a very early age. I previously worked as a Vet Tech and still currently volunteer for a local rescue, which is how I got 2 of my babies! I would love to keep your loved companions safe and comfortable while you relax on vacation or take care of business for work. I have a completely open schedule at the moment. I can do potty breaks /walks or over night stays for as long as is needed. I have a fenced in yard in a quite neighborhood. Plenty of toys and blankets for everyone and only the best quality dog food and treats. I also have two very friendly dogs of my own but could keep separate if you prefered. I have no limits for space in my house so furniture and such is fair game. I just want them to be comfortable and feel safe.

“We cannot begin to tell you what a breath of fresh air it was having Marie care for our 2 babies! She is super thorough, went above and beyond what we could’ve asked for or expected. Our 2 cats absolutely loved her and were excited to see her at each visit, refreshing bc they don’t usually do well with new people right away. We will absolutely be booking with Marie again in the future for other trips out of town. We felt super comfortable with her instantly from the moment she came to do a meet and greet with our cats. One of them requires insulin shots twice daily and it was no problem what so ever for her. We cannot express our gratitude and thanks for treating our babies so wonderfully while we were away!”


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!
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 absolutely LOVE cats, but I love dogs as well! I grew up with a cat that I was extremely close to, and now and I have a little one of my own. Though I have never owned a dog myself, I am comfortable around them, have petsit dogs and am more than happy to take care of one! My family used to travel for extended periods of time growing up and I would be so anxious about our pets being at home alone, even though they were being taken care of. I understand that anxious feeling and can definitely offer you peace of mind when you're away. I will be super interactive with your pet and play with them as much as they'd like! It's important to give them lots of attention and love when you are away. Though I am busy with school, I can do many things on my own time, making my schedule very flexible. This is how I am able to fit pet care into my daily routine! I will always keep my home and your home safe for pets! I am careful about what I leave in the open that pets have access to and I always refresh food and water, making sure to keep them in an appropriate location. I will always double-check fencing in the yard to make sure all pets are secure with no possibility of escaping.
“Kortney did an amazing job with my dog nugget. Nugget is very nervous around new people and needs a lot of patience & love. Kortney was very kind and let nugget come to her at her own pace while taking great care of her! I highly recommend Kortney.”

“Tawny was great! I have 4 dogs, ranging in sizes, and they are very high maintenance. she did great with all of them! Followed instructions perfectly, had great communication, and made me feel so comfortable with my pups under her care. I will be requesting her every time I need a sitter for my doggos!”

“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!”


“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.”
“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.”

“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.”

“Leah was wonderful- accommodating us for a little last-minute time adjustment and was kind and easygoing. Our dog Pearl seemed to have a super fun time with her dogs, came home tired (in a good way) and happy. Would definitely use her again. Thank you Leah!”

“Holly and Doug were wonderful! There kindness and sweet love they showed Jake was great! We just moved to SC and leaving Jake for the first time wirh someone new was hard! Holly was very reassuring, she asked about his potty and eating schedule, also if he could have treats. She has a beautiful fenced in back yard for the dogs safety They also sent me pictures of Jake through out the day. I would highly recommend Holly and Doug.”
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.
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’ve been caring for dogs since I was a kid with our family dogs. My love for dogs carried into my adulthood and I have experience with puppies all the way to senior dogs.

I’m in no rush to be anywhere else so that means your pet will have my full attention. I offer care at your home or my home. Your pets will feel comfortable at my home as we have extra crates, beds, toys, or they can sleep on the couch if they prefer
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: 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.

About: I’ve cared for dogs with different needs and personalities, always providing patient, loving, and dependable care to ensure they feel safe, happy, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. I’m available on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and weekends, with a flexible schedule to meet your pet’s needs. I do work part-time, so I’m unavailable on Mondays, Wednesdays, and during the day on Fridays. That said, I’m committed to being reliable, communicative, and consistent during my available times. Pets in my home are treated like family and cared for in a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I have a fenced-in backyard for secure outdoor time and plenty of space for play and exercise. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, and any special instructions. I also have crates available if needed for rest, training, or to match your pet’s normal routine.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and I genuinely love caring for them. I grew up taking care of farm animals and mostly took care of chickens and stray cats in my area, so I’m very comfortable with different types of animals and personalities. I’ve also have pets of my own, including my cat Onion, who I’ve raised since birth, and a husky named Gunner that I adopted from a shelter. Over the years, I’ve helped friends, neighbors, and family with their pets, whether that’s walking, feeding, or just spending time with them so they feel comfortable and not alone. I’m very patient and attentive, and I naturally adjust to each pet’s energy! My goal is always to make sure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away! I am currently a student, Army ROTC cadet, and athlete at North Carolina Central University. I am usually up really early in the morning for physical training at around 5-7am. I would love to start your animals day off with a morning walk or play session! I have a few classes M-TH and can be available depending on the time. However, I’m free all day on Fridays plus weekends. Keeping your pet safe and comfortable are my top priorities. I will not be caring for pets in my home because I am in a dorm for school, but in a clients home I always follow care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, routines, and any special needs. I make sure pets are supervised, secure, and in a clean environment at all times. I’m very observant to behavior and mood changes and will communicate regularly.
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: Growing up I lived on a livestock farm so my life for animals came natural and at a very early age. I previously worked as a Vet Tech and still currently volunteer for a local rescue, which is how I got 2 of my babies! I would love to keep your loved companions safe and comfortable while you relax on vacation or take care of business for work. I have a completely open schedule at the moment. I can do potty breaks /walks or over night stays for as long as is needed. I have a fenced in yard in a quite neighborhood. Plenty of toys and blankets for everyone and only the best quality dog food and treats. I also have two very friendly dogs of my own but could keep separate if you prefered. I have no limits for space in my house so furniture and such is fair game. I just want them to be comfortable and feel safe.
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 am a young adult with lots of experience with taking care of cats and dogs. I have grown up around them and I love to take care of them. My daily routine includes emptying litter boxes and sweeping litter off floors. I often accompany my dogs outside to make sure they did their business. I also feed each of my pets daily. While I do not have much experience outside my own home taking care of my pets, I know how to do so while making sure my clients and their pets are happy.
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!

“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: 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 taken care of dogs ever since I was 15. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed and watch their pets. I have my own 4 year old dog that I walk, feed, and take care of on the daily. I also watch my neighbors dogs occasionally. I am able to crate, walk, and feed any pet. I am also experienced in giving pets medicine if needed. I will have nothing but love for every pet I take care of.

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!
About: With over a decade of experience in animal care, I’ve had the joy of working with everything from dogs and puppies to exotic animals like monkeys and tigers. I’ve also owned and operated a professional dog kennel, where I provided exceptional boarding services and made every pet feel like part of the family. My true passion is creating joyful, fulfilling experiences for the pets in my care. Whether it’s taking extra time for those long, joyful sniffs and grass rolls, cuddling on the couch, or playing their favorite game, I’m here to make sure your pet feels loved, enriched, and happy while you’re away. Every pet deserves the best, and I go above and beyond to give them a fun, stress free, and loving experience. Having rescued and cared for dogs in need, I bring a deep sense of compassion to everything I do. Rover allows me to continue offering the personalized care that pets deserve, treating them like family and making their time with me as special as possible. This is my full time job, giving me the flexibility to offer your pet personalized care throughout the day. With a 3 year old daughter, we’re always active, and I love including pets in our daily routines, whether it's a fun walk, playtime in the yard, or cozy snuggle while we watch a movie. My schedule allows me to ensure your pet gets the attention, love, and activity they need, while also balancing my family life. Travel Surcharge Notice: Please note that for round-trip travel exceeding 20 miles, a $1.00 per mile surcharge will be added after booking. I’m happy to travel up to 100 miles to care for your pet! When I’m with your dog, I treat them like family. I understand that your pet is a cherished member of your household, so I make sure to keep their environment familiar and comforting, just as it is when you're home. Whether I’m walking them, visiting, or staying overnight, I follow their routine to ensure they feel safe and relaxed. You can trust that your dog will receive the same love, care, and attention as I would give my own pets, all while respecting your home and their space.
About: I absolutely LOVE cats, but I love dogs as well! I grew up with a cat that I was extremely close to, and now and I have a little one of my own. Though I have never owned a dog myself, I am comfortable around them, have petsit dogs and am more than happy to take care of one! My family used to travel for extended periods of time growing up and I would be so anxious about our pets being at home alone, even though they were being taken care of. I understand that anxious feeling and can definitely offer you peace of mind when you're away. I will be super interactive with your pet and play with them as much as they'd like! It's important to give them lots of attention and love when you are away. Though I am busy with school, I can do many things on my own time, making my schedule very flexible. This is how I am able to fit pet care into my daily routine! I will always keep my home and your home safe for pets! I am careful about what I leave in the open that pets have access to and I always refresh food and water, making sure to keep them in an appropriate location. I will always double-check fencing in the yard to make sure all pets are secure with no possibility of escaping.
About: I’ve taken care of every type of animal from cows, bunnies, and chickens to horses, dogs, and cats since I was born, very pet friendly. I’ve even had a chameleon and plenty fish. My schedule is very flexible, I can do pop ins, walks, and I can even take pets to a river to play and run around I will accommodate all dogs needs bathroom wise, food wise, and I will make sure the pet has lots of play time, pets will be well taken care of, happy, and all needs/wants will be met

“This is my first time boarding Trigger with Skyla and he loved it there. He’s a rescue and very wary and after he got comfortable Trigger made himself right at home.

About: I’ve cared for dogs with different needs and personalities, always providing patient, loving, and dependable care to ensure they feel safe, happy, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. I’m available on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and weekends, with a flexible schedule to meet your pet’s needs. I do work part-time, so I’m unavailable on Mondays, Wednesdays, and during the day on Fridays. That said, I’m committed to being reliable, communicative, and consistent during my available times.

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.
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.

“We used Lee to board my dog while vacationing in Myrtle beach. Lee treated my Charlie like family!! I received lots of pics and videos showing how happy he was and how well cared for. Lee not only let me enjoy my vacation with my kiddos but also let my sweet Charlie have a vacation of his own! We can’t wait to use you again, Lee. Thank you so much!”
About: I am a home health aid for people and always naturally been great with animals. My mother inlaw owns a kennel so I've learned a lot from her about boarding the last 6 years. I have a dog of my own I love and have trained well to be around other animals,so far so good... considering his breed. I only work for 2-6 hrs a day housekeeping on and off and make my own schedule so im super available to make sure your baby is taken care of! I have a really flexible schedule. I will allow the pet to have a safe space to feel comfortable and cared for, fed properly, nurtured and loved! Also they will have full room to roam in my house unless owner brings crate and would like it used.
