About: Not just have I grown up around animals of all kinds but I have taken care of several friends and families pets to ensure their well being while the owners were away. I currently am not limited to hours to come to care of your furry babies! I’m willing to work around most people’s needs within almost any hours!. I prefer to be able to go to your house to provide any care you’re seeing fit. Such as visiting your pet/animals keeping them active with play time, keep them outside as much as possible for exercise/potty time. I can make sure they are fed/watered. Just providing that time they need to get through the time you’re away.

“Luna was so happy during her stay. I could tell by her demeanor when I picked her up that she was comfortable. I will definitely trust Luna with them again without a doubt.”
About: I have over 25 years experience taking care of all breeds of dogs, cats, lizards, fish and just about anything else you can think of. Whether you have a senior or special needs fur baby, one with a lot of extra energy or if you'd just like your fur-kid to have some extra attention while you're at work or away, I'm open to whatever their needs are and taking care of them. I am self employed so I make my own schedule. Therefore I'm available to work around daily walks, play times, feedings or whatever is needed. I am open to doing whatever you recommend when staying in your home. I find it's easier on them when very little changes while you're gone, so I like to keep their routine as close to normal as possible.
About: I have worked in veterinary medicine for 10 years and have been petsitting for even longer than that! I have experience working with some furry friends who need a little bit of assistance (bladder and bowel expression, wheelchairs, special feeding and medication administration) I love all species and understand the different temperaments and attitudes that come with each animal. My house is set up to accommodate the shyest of dogs to the most hyper energetic ones. We have a large fenced in yard to run around in, a comfy couch to snuggle up on, lots of toys to share and a special room in case they need space to decompress. I am certified in Basic Life Support and Advanced Life Support so your animal will be cared for and taken care of in every aspect :) I am currently a stay at home mom with my two year old son who loves animals just as much as I do! We go for multiple walks a day or we’re playing outside in the backyard. If we leave the house it isn’t for more than 2 hours at a time. I am trained in animal handling and animal safety. Your pets safety and happiness are my main concerns. I am willing to work with whatever your pet is comfortable with and can even help with tips and tricks to make them feel a little more comfortable when their humans are away!
“Ashley was just wonderful! My pup seemed to have a blast at her house. She gave frequent updates and pics and also sent him home with the cutest present. I would definitely recommend Ashley if you ever need someone to watch your pup!”

“Clare was an exceptional pet sitter for our kitty who can be feisty at times. Clare is dependable, kind, trustworthy and she shows respect for your home as well. She sent pictures every day, checked in and out and gave us a report every day as well. We didn’t have to worry. She gave us much peace of mind. And our little orange baby was comfortable with her.”
“My pets loved Jessica! She communicates well, asks great questions, and receives feedback well. She took great care of my fur babies, followed all the instructions to the T, and left my house clean and tidy. I will absolutely be booking with Jessica again.”

“Allison was fantastic with our cats. Very patient since their scaredy cats. LOL. She had no problem giving our older cat his medicine. She was wonderful about updating us with everything that went on with them. She's very sweet and we'd love for her continue to work for us whenever needed ♥️”
About: Experienced with dogs and cats, and a lifelong pet owner. I’ve provided both pet and house sitting and understand how important trust is when leaving your pets. I provide reliable, attentive care and treat every home and pet with respect. I’m currently working toward becoming a real estate agent, which allows me to have a very flexible schedule. I’m available most days and can easily adjust to your pet’s routine, whether that’s walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. I prioritize being reliable, communicative, and consistent. As a lifelong pet owner with four cats, I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I follow all care instructions closely, keep environments clean and secure, and make sure each pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Caroline stayed in my home for two weeks to take care of my four cats. She did a good job and even though they were standoffish much of the time (cats!), she did convert Rogue by the end!”
“Elaine did another excellent job looking after my two cats! She even took extra time to get to know the shy one and to clean up a few unpleasant messes from the not-so-shy one.”
“We had a great experience having Katie take care of our cat. She's extremely kind and professional. Would definitely recommend and will absolutely use her again in the future. Don't hesitate to inquire about her services.”
“Stephanie has become my regular sitter, my cats truly love her! She’s very attentive and detailed and gives great updates when I’m away. I never worry when I knows she’s checking in on them 🙂”
“Patty was all the things we’d look for in a sitter for our boys! She was warm and personable, provided detailed care, and was on time for every visit. She was sure to note all our requests, maintained prompt communication, and truly demonstrated integrity in her work. I felt so at ease reading her visit cards, and seeing the care our cats were receiving in the photos she sent while we were away. I can’t recommend her enough- thanks Patty!”
About: Cats have a special place in my heart, my first pet ever was a kitten named Brooke. I have always been the person to befriend the strays surrounding me and gain their trust. I have experience with cats of all ages, temperaments, & personalities. I will ensure your cat is content and comfortable while under my watch and in my care. Willing to do anything and everything I can to care for your kitty to the best of my ability!
About: I’ve personally loved and cared for numerous fur and scaly children throughout the vast majority of my life, whether it’s reptiles, dogs, or cats, I have owned and loved each and every one of them. I currently have 2 dogs, a highly energetic and jumpy Black Labrador Retriever Mix (Rutt Butt), and an equally energetic, but 26x more friendly and goofy Pittie Mix (Roofie Doofie). I also have two cats, one loves people and dogs, and the other just loves me and the dogs (terrified of new people). I also have a male Bearded Dragon named Groot, and a baby Sulcatta Tortoise named Oogway! That is the list of who I currently love and live with. I have been working with my Lab and Pittie mix with behavior training since the since the Rutt was a puppy and since I adopted Rufus in early 2025. I’ve consistently kept them structured with simple high energy break commands, long wait, increased food/treat drive, and all-around confidence and morale boost to any low self-esteem. I am currently working on Rover part time, so I will be devoting my days off from work to your pet(s) and their needs. I am wanting to grow this into my own personal side-business as there is nothing that I consider better, than a well-trained pet under high stress environments. I have 2 overly and aggressively friendly dogs. Rutt and Rufus are some of the biggest sweethearts when it comes to meeting new people as well as new furry friends. Rutt has lived with cats his entire life, and Rufus took a bit, but he is finally completely indifferent to life with cats and loves to play with everyone! All owners and their dogs during boardings, or play dates, have to plan for atleast a 30min to an hour meet and greet and orientation so that both yours and my needs are met during visits. I am always in control during the situations, such as I am ever-vigilant of slight non verbal cues and projections yours and my pets put off in order to blossom a happy and stimulating and playful environment. I currently have a house in the Burton area with a beautiful and quaint neighborhood loop well away from all major highways and roadways. I also have about 20-30 acres that are heavily wooded with some managed trails throughout behind my house that I will be more than happy to explore with your pets taking them through for enrichment and training. I will also be in total touch with you as an owner, and me as a sitter. I know that I would love to have pictures and videos of my pet’s life throughout their day with someone new, and I would be more than willing to send you pictures and videos through Snapchat, text, or however you prefer. I encourage the youth and playfulness of each pet and I hope they can achieve their potential. Pet care is my daily and weekly routine. I have two dogs, two cats, a bearded dragon, and a sulcatta tortoise. Each of my wonderful animals have different daily needs and requirements that I strive to meet so they can be the happiest animals and meet their full potential. I have 0.5acres of open backyard that is pushed up to about 20 acres of woodlands directly behind my house. I take my own animals on daily enrichment walks through the forest to aide them in their confidence and better their motor skills.
About: I have been pet sitting since I was in sixth grade, I am now a sophomore in college and I am looking to expand. I have had many animals my whole life, including dogs, guinea pigs, a bunny, fish and more. I have always advocated for proper care and exercise of animals and vouch to care for others animals the same way I do my own. I work a part time job at a coffee shop with shifts that usually last 4-8 hour. I have always been able to make pet care work with this schedule especially if the families live close enough. My usual routine for my current clients includes visiting once around 7:30 am, again around 11-12, coming back for dinner from 5-6 and then once more right before bedtime depending on the pet. I always make sure the animals space is clean and tidy so they are not sitting in their filth while I am gone. I refill water every time I leave and check food depending on the owners schedules. I usually spend about 30 minutes per visit with the animal to ensure they get all of their energy out and are properly cared for before I head back out but of course this varies for every one. I can take dogs for walks or play with them outside in a yard. I stick to the schedule the family provides with of course a little variation due to my work schedule but this is made known before taking a job!
About: I have taken care for cats for about 20 years. I had my first cat at age 5. I have experience administering medication, playing with cats. And helping them to feel comfortable around me.

“First time for Bella to be with a sitter. We got photos to see how she was doing. She looked very comfortable and having a great time. Was not stressed when we picked her up or got home. Very happy with the experience. Thank you Leayn.”
“Maeve had a wonderful time with William, & the Ruby's. Walks, running in the backyard and naps made it a perfect day for her. She's looking forward to her next visit which will be a 3 day sleepover.”
“I traveled down from Maryland last minute for an unfortunate loss in my family. Everything happened so quickly that I didn't gave time to make arrangements for Bear, my 6 month old Cavapoo who had literally just gotten neutered a few days prior. After my 9 hour drive I prayed and hopped on Rover. God led me to Ashley and I have no regrets. Her home was beautiful and fulled with pictures of her sweet young family. She was so kind and Bear settled in immediately. I will definitely use her services again!!!!”
“We booked Emily the night before we arrived in HH; she took great care of our two fur babies. She sent pictures and loved them like her own, with multiple walks each day. Highly recommend!”
“Karen was absolutely amazing with Grady. She took the best care of him and sent updates and pictures the entire time. Grady is a geriatric dog and Karen handled him so well. Will definitely make Karen our go to sitter in this area!”
“Fernanda was super sweet and attentive with Murphy. She was very good with communication before during and after his day care visit. Fernanda sent pictures during his stay and he was very relaxed and happy. I recommend her for your fur baby too.”
“Frank took wonderful care of our anxious (but sweet) Bernedoodle puppy, Mia. Mia absolutely loved him and it was huge peace of mind to know she was in good hands. Frank was kind, professional, and communicative. We would absolutely have him take care of our dog again in the future and would highly recommend him to anyone!”
“Madison was amazingly flexible and kind throughout the whole experience. Our pup had so much fun playing with her dog that she came home completely exhausted and slept for nearly 2 days straight. It was perfect that our girl came home just as tired as we were after a long day at Daufuskie. It was especially convenient that Madison lives so close to our vacation home in HHI.”
“Sweetest person of all time! Brianna watched our cavapoo for a couple days while we stayed at the HH National RV park. She lives very close by and was super flexible to accommodate any times I needed to extend or end early. She works from home, has a beautiful house and a sweet little dog of her own. We had one request which was not to ever leave our dog alone and Brianna was more than happy to accommodate. Will absolutely use her again when back in Beaufort, Bluffton or Hilton Head!”

Now that our kids are old enough and understand how to care for and respect dogs we feel comfortable bringing kid friendly and potty trained dogs into our home. We’re all excited to love on your pup! Julie homeschools our children so they are home a majority of the day. If your pup is destructive or a chewer, please bring a crate for when they have to leave the house. We intend to love and care for your dog just as we love and care for Penny. We work together as a family to ensure your pets needs are met throughout the day and night.
About: I have been dog sitting for over 5 years, and have worked in a dog daycare/boarding facility. I am comfortable with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs! I currently work part time which will give me ample time to take care of your pup! I do have a kitten in home but he has been around dogs before so he is comfortable around other animals! I live in an apartment but I can do frequent leash let outs. We are in a great neighborhood with sidewalks and space to go on walks.

I do my best to establish a relationship with your pet to promote their security. I am retired but enjoy staying busy but also relax by being with animals. I have very accepting pets that will calmly welcome your pet to my home. My pets will also accommodate my stay in your home if that is best for your pet.

My background includes caring for young puppies, managing multiple pet households, and specialized care for senior pets needing medication.

I am generally free every weekday Monday through Friday. I am usually available any time of day, even night time visits depending on what your schedule needs. I should be able to alter my schedule and negotiate pet care upon request if my other responsibilities allow for it, this may include weekends and holidays. Unfortunately, my place of residence does not have capacity for overnight stays or boarding. But I would be happy to visit your pet in their home to ensure their comfort and happiness. Just provide clear and descriptive instructions and schedules and I will be sure to follow them. If I have any questions i will be sure to reach out!
About: I grew up surrounded by animals my entire life. However, my deep connection/love for animals (specifically dogs) started when i was about 6 years old. My nana (grandma) owned a dog rescue in Georgia named Deep South Canine Rescue and it became like a second home for me. Whether i was cleaning out Kennels or running the dogs , I was having an absolute blast. Since then I have been an ultimate dog/animal lover and my family and friends always ask me to pet sit when they need it because they know I will treat the animals like my own. I hope you will to :) - Also being in the Bft area provides numerous opportunities to take your animals outside! Such as: the sands, the wetlands, throughout Port Royal, The dog park, etc! I am currently enrolled in online school making me available almost all day everyday, including weekends! I do have a job as a server but it should never conflict any responsibilities as it is not every day and not incredibly long shifts! I would give your fur babies as much time as they want! I also am willing to take off work for overnight stays if necessary. I have a fenced in back yard and also a large front yard. I also live in a gorgeous area so dog walks are an absolute yes from me ! I am also 100% okay with crating dogs if that’s what you prefer for your pet. However, i am also eligible to stay at or drive to a residence if preferred! I have many references if needed:)

About: I've always been an animal lover, and I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. As the owner of two huskies, I understand that pets aren't just animals, they're family. Living with two energetic huskies has given me plenty of experience with long walks, playtime, shedding, and making sure they get the exercise and attention they need. My background in the military has taught me responsibility, reliability, and attention to detail. Whether it's sticking to your pet's routine, administering simple medications, or making sure they get plenty of exercise and affection, I'll care for them the same way I care for my own dogs. Every pet has a unique personality, and I enjoy getting to know each one. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or just relaxing with someone nearby, I'll make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and right at home. My goal is simple: to treat every pet like they're part of my own family and give you complete peace of mind while you're away. I'm currently serving in a special shore-duty assignment with a very flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate a wide range of pet care needs. Whether you need early morning walks, midday drop-ins, evening visits, or overnight care, I'm often able to adjust my schedule to fit yours. Your pet's safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special needs before every booking so they receive the care they're used to at home. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important communication is. I'll provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment and always prioritize safe walks, secure leash handling, and close supervision during playtime. I also respect every owner's instructions, whether that means following a feeding schedule, administering basic medications, or keeping up with your pet's favorite routines. I believe trust is earned, and I'll treat your pet with the same care, patience, and respect that I give my own two huskies

About: I used to help out a family friend with her dog sitting business, and have experience with taking care of all types of dogs. From little to small, cats or dogs I am very adaptable to what each pet needs. I'm a caring person and I would go out of my way to make sure a dog is happy. I pride myself on being reliable and punctual while updating pet parents with photos and reports after every visit. I treat your pets and your home with the utmost care and respect. Growing up I have had a dog with three legs, so I have learned how to take care of dogs that may need extra care and I love to figure out how to make a pet feel comfortable and safe, as well as have fun. I have experience with training puppies, as well as taking care of older pets that may need medications. I’m happy to provide walks to play sessions, as well as watering plants or taking in mail to ensure your home is secure while you’re away. Im currently working close to full time, but I have flexible hours to fit the needs of when to stop by to take care of your pets. It’s healthcare so my schedule tends to change quite often and sometimes I end up with days off during the week. I can do morning or night visits, as well as day ones during the weekend. I do have a dog of my own so my ability to stay overnight can vary but I’m always willing to board a dog that is friendly. I can easily help with crating your dog if that is needed, I crate my dog that I have at home. I’m willing to go out of my way to make your dog comfortable with me and will take the time to ensure trust. I am willing to take your pet for a long walk or spend time with them to make them feel less lonely.
“Megan and her family were great. They treated my dog very well. Even when I had to stay for an extra day on my trip, they cooked for my dog and fed him. I recommend Megan. She is great!”
