About: I have a great deal of experience when it comes to dogs I have taken care of them my whole life. I have two adult dogs in my home who are very friendly and loves other dogs. I have experience working with spade/un spayed neutered/unneutered and potty train/un potty train. I am currently working from home part-time so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets and tend to as many needs as they have! I am open for boarding Monday through Friday and sometimes on weekends. I have a fenced in yard with two friendly dogs who will keep your fur baby company. I am more than able to crate them if needed or they can roam around freely. Even if your fur baby doesn’t love the extra company they are still welcome.
About: I have many years of farming experience and have gained many great achievements in the field of agriculture. I will make sure that every animal is taken care of and treated with respect and love. I have a pretty empty schedule during the week. I typically respond fast to make sure that your needs are met in a timely manner. I have three dogs in my house as well as three cats. These cats usually reside upstairs, so they will not be a problem as they like to be alone most of the time. My dogs are very friendly and are always open to new friends. At my home, I do not have a crate, but I can always set one up if provided.
“Miriael took great care of Chase! He was taken on daily walks and got plenty of exercise. She was quick to respond and also accommodating with my schedule. Chase will definitely be back!”

About: IF YOUR DOG IS NOT LEASH TRAINED AND CANNOT FOLLOW COMMANDS OR LISTEN, I WILL CANCEL THE BOOKING EARLY AND YOU WILL HAVE TO PICK UP YOUR DOG. So ask yourself that before you book, thank you. I love dogs and it is my job to make your dog feel like family by treating them with the same love and care that I treat my own dog at home. I’ve had a dog all my life. I’m working from home, so I am very flexible to offer my services! I’m working on my own schedule so your pet will be cared for 24/7 and not alone and will have playtime whenever and walks whenever! If I’m not home, my partner is so your pet won’t be home alone. I have a cat he is the sweetest little angel and loves making new friends so won’t be any problems with him. I love to exercise so walking far or short is no problem.

About: I’ve spent over 20 years surrounded by paws, whiskers, and wagging tails, and I wouldn’t have it any other way! I’ve cared for pets at every stage of life. From newborns, playful puppies, curious kittens, confident adults, and sweet seniors who just want extra snuggles. At home, I have a full furry crew: two huskies, two cats, and eight dachshunds. Managing different personalities, energy levels, and routines is second nature to me and there’s never a dull moment, and I love it. One thing that sets me apart is my experience with whelping and newborn puppies. I’ve helped deliver two dachshund litters and raised those tiny beans from birth until they headed off to their forever families. It taught me patience, attention to detail, and how to spot what a pet needs before they can tell you themselves. Whether your pet loves long walks, gentle cuddles, or just a buddy to hang out with, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and completely at home. I work a full-time job, but I have plenty of flexibility to schedule visits around your pet’s routine. I’m able to do morning, evening, and weekend care, and I always make sure pets get the attention, playtime, and clean-up they need. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. It’s something I genuinely enjoy, so I’m happy to build my schedule around keeping your pets happy and comfortable. I provide all pet care in your home, where your pets feel safe, comfortable, and in their normal routine. My priority is creating a calm, secure environment so they can relax while you’re away. I always follow your instructions closely — feeding schedules, litter box routines, medication needs, preferred toys, and any house rules you have in place. I take time to learn each pet’s personality and comfort level so I can approach them gently and respectfully. During visits, I make sure your home stays safe and tidy. I double-check doors, crates, and gates; ensure food and water are fresh; and keep the space clean, especially around litter boxes and feeding areas. I also provide updates and photos so you know your pets are happy and well cared for. Your pet’s safety, your home’s security, and your peace of mind are always my top priorities.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals my whole life. Always been a different kind of love. I still have my childhood cat and got my dog 5 years ago. They are my everything. I work part time right now. I have much availability in schedule! We can always chat about what time and days work best for you! Me and my dog have a Dailey routine everyday. We live in order around here! I would do the same for in you’re home! You and your animals needs will be met.
About: What sets me apart is the level of attention, patience, and personalized care I provide to every pet. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care — I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and specific needs so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I have experience working with young pets who are still learning routines and basic training. I reinforce positive behaviors, maintain consistency with house rules, and help build good habits through patience and positive reinforcement. I’m also comfortable caring for senior pets and understand they often need a slower pace, medication management, mobility support, and extra monitoring. I pay close attention to subtle changes in behavior or appetite and communicate promptly if anything seems off. Above all, I treat every pet like they’re my own — with kindness, structure, and genuine care — while keeping owners updated for peace of mind. Morning (10–30 minutes) Feed and refresh water Quick health check (energy level, appetite, bathroom habits) Walk or play session (especially for dogs) Midday (if applicable) Short walk or litter box check Brief playtime or enrichment (toys, puzzles) Evening (20–60 minutes) Dinner feeding Longer walk or active play Grooming touch-up (brushing, wiping paws, cleaning bowls) Litter box cleaning (cats) or cage cleaning spot-check (small pets) When pets stay in my home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and structured environment. Daily Care Includes: Feeding according to the owner’s instructions (diet, portions, schedule) Fresh water available at all times Regular potty breaks or litter box maintenance Daily exercise (walks, yard time, or supervised play) Enrichment activities (toys, puzzles, affection, basic training reinforcement) Safety & Comfort: Pet-proofed space Supervised interactions with other pets (if applicable) Separate feeding areas if needed Clean bedding and sanitized bowls Medication administration if required (following written instructions) Communication: Daily updates with photos/videos Immediate communication if any concerns arise
About: I've been around dogs and cats my entire life. I also have experience taking care of freshwater aquariums, turtles, snakes, and birds. I love animals and am open to whatever your needs are. Currently, we have an 8 year old spayed lab, and two dog friendly cats. I have the ability to seperate sections of the house if your dog or cat is not cat/dog friendly. I have 18 acres to take dogs on walks, as well as a fenced in back yard with a pool for play time and summer swims. I don't mind providing baths to dogs that may need them and I also have experience bathing cats as long as they are generally tolerant to the process. I am a master's student so I am always home and won't leave your pet alone for hours at a time. My little zoo and I would love to meet you! Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any special requests, questions, or concerns.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover based on a 10-acre homestead in Pageland, SC. I specialize in structured, safe boarding with supervised outdoor time and secure indoor accommodations. We have a brand-new 6-foot wooden privacy fence enclosing our backyard, providing a secure area for dogs to exercise, stretch, and explore during supervised potty breaks and play sessions. Guests stay in our large climate-controlled sunroom outfitted with seven kennels, giving each dog their own secure space to rest comfortably between outdoor time, meals, and enrichment. Crate rotation and routine breaks are built into our daily schedule, ensuring dogs have consistency and predictability. Crate & House Access Policy • Crating is standard when we are away or sleeping, and during rest periods. • Potty breaks are offered approximately every 2 hours during waking hours. • For older, calm, fully house-trained, non-destructive, and cat-friendly dogs, free-roam house access may be considered on a case-by-case basis with owner request and compatibility assessment. • Dogs with separation anxiety, destructive tendencies, or unsafe habits (counter-surfing, door-bolting, etc.) will remain on our structured crate schedule for their safety. Experience & Approach I’ve owned and cared for everything from hedgehogs and geckos to chickens, horses, and working-breed dogs. I’m comfortable with: • Medication administration (oral or topical) • Senior dogs • Puppies & house-training stages • Reactive or shy personalities • High-energy dogs who require clear routines • Multi-dog coexistence and safe rotations My husband runs his own business and is home most of the time, ensuring someone is almost always present for supervision, potty break intervals, and routine care. I am home evenings and weekends, and we work together to provide structure, security, and consistent monitoring. What You Can Expect • Individual crate spaces (no shared kennels) • 6-ft fully fenced private yard • Consistent potty break schedule (≈ every 2 hours) • Supervised outdoor time only • Optional house freedom only if fully compatible • Daily updates, photos, and communication We focus on safe, predictable, and tailored care based on each dog’s needs and the comfort level of their owner. Whether a pup thrives with structured crate rest or enjoys calm, supervised sunroom naps, we tailor stays responsibly rather than one-size-fits-all. I work full-time as an insurance producer in Monroe, NC from 8–5, Monday through Friday. I’m home all day on weekends, and during the week, my husband is at our homestead full-time and helps provide care and supervision. Since we work as a team, your pets will never be left alone for long periods. I’m also available for morning or evening drop-ins and walks depending on location and schedule! We live on a peaceful 10-acre homestead. We do not allow free play with other pets - so you know that your furry friend is safe and sound the entire stay! They will have supervised playtime with other pups from the same household, or with just our staff! Our top priority is a safe stay.

I'm actually attending school to become a veternarian due to my unwavering attention of animals of all kinds. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine! I work mornings only on the weekends. Pets in my care are never left home alone—there’s always someone around to give them attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I make sure their needs are always met, no matter the schedule. I keep a clean, calm environment and always make sure pets have fresh water, a cozy spot to relax, and plenty of supervised attention and cuddles.
