“Tammy is an excellent cat sitter, she looked after our 5 cats while we were away for a week, coming everyday she was great with them. I would certainly use her again we highly recommend Tammy.”
“Kiana was an excellent sitter for our two cats over a long weekend! She was incredibly patient with our old insulin-dependent cat who is affectionate with his family, but is temperamental with others, and she kept our one year old social cat very entertained! She took great photos and was incredibly responsive and detailed in her updates after each visit. As a nervous pet parent, this was a stress reliever! We returned home to the cutest little surprise left by Kiana, too! We can’t wait to book her for future visits.”

“Tara has worked out so well for my work schedule in the Spartanburg area! Blue has found another favorite sitter through Rover.com. Tara has been amazing with her responsible/professional yet loving care and communication throughout the day with me, I'm not sure Blue even wants to go home at the end of the day! I am praying that in 13 weeks if I make this job my permanent one, Tara will agree to be our permanent care giver for Blue. Hi, highly recommend Tara without any reservations.”

About: My résumé includes dogs, cats, muddy boots, mystery noises in barns, and convincing animals that the thing they absolutely do not want to do is actually a great idea. I've learned that patience, consistency, and a pocket full of treats or a favorite toy solve most problems. Animals have always been a huge part of my world. On any given day, I might be caring for horses, spending time with my dogs and cats, or helping a nervous animal feel comfortable in a new situation. I understand that every pet is different. Some want a long walk and a game of fetch. Some want a quiet companion who respects their space. Some have very strong opinions about breakfast arriving precisely on time. I have experience caring for animals of all ages, from energetic youngsters to seniors who need a slower pace and a little extra patience. I'm comfortable with large dogs, multi-pet households, and pets with established routines that need to be followed carefully. Friends often describe me as observant and dependable. I pay attention to details, communicate clearly, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal's personality. Whether your pet is an adventure buddy, a professional napper, or a lovable troublemaker, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you're away. As a lifelong animal owner, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I will treat them with the same attention and respect I give my own. I currently have flexible availability most days of the week and can often accommodate pet care requests around my existing animal care responsibilities. Caring for animals is already a part of my daily routine, so I understand the importance of consistency, communication, and showing up when expected. Beginning in August, my availability will shift as I start graduate school, and I will primarily be available on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays. I believe in being upfront about scheduling and only accepting bookings that I can fully commit to, so you can count on reliable care and clear communication. Every pet has their own routine, and I do my best to follow it as closely as possible. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets have fresh water, meals (if needed), potty breaks, exercise, and attention tailored to their personality. Some pets want to play, some want belly rubs, and some prefer a quiet companion who respects their space. For walks, I focus on safety, consistency, and making sure your dog gets both physical exercise and mental stimulation. I pay attention to weather conditions, energy levels, and each dog's comfort and confidence. I also keep an eye on the little things. As someone who has cared for animals for many years, I know that changes in appetite, energy, mobility, or behavior can be important. If I notice something unusual, I will communicate it promptly. In a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the household itself. My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable and cared for while you're away, and for you to come home to a happy pet and a home just as you left it.
About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs for almost 7 years and have 8 years of overall experience caring for pets. I’ve babysat my neighbors’ dogs many times, and they trust me to give their pets lots of love, attention, and care while they’re away. I always send picture updates so owners can feel comfortable knowing their dogs are happy and safe. I also have a friendly dog of my own who gets along well with other dogs, and with permission, I can bring my dog to interact and play with them to help keep them active and social. I’ve been an animal lover since I was in 3rd grade, and some people even call me a “dog whisperer” because animals naturally seem to trust and connect with me. I truly believe dogs are one of the most loyal and loving companions a person can have, and I treat every dog like they’re part of my family. I am currently home from college for the summer, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I am available most weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-ins, boarding, and overnight care. I have years of experience caring for dogs and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I have friendly dogs for social interaction if wanted, can crate dogs if needed, and always follow owners’ instructions carefully. I provide regular updates and photos so owners feel reassured while away.
About: I am a 27 year old husband and father of 2 boys. I am a veterinary nurse who works with dogs and cats everyday. I love what I do and consider myself lucky to be able to make a living working with animals. I know that most owners feel the same way as i do about their dogs/cats when they have to leave them in others hands. Owners are going to worry when they are away and it is up to the person responsible for their pet to make them feel at ease. When your pet is with me you can know that they are in good hands and that I will do everything I can to make them feel safe. I know all dogs are different and some are more frightened when their owners are away. Some dogs need more affection than others while some just want you to throw them the ball. I take pride in making them feel safe and as if they were with their best friend. I promise you i will keep your pet safe and sound. Even more than that i promise you that them and I will have fun! Thank you. I work Monday through Friday with Thursdays off. I can always come by in the mornings, on lunch, and afternoon and nights. I can be as flexible as needed. I will always keep an eye on the pet and make sure they are seen as if their own human was there. I take pride that I have worked in the vet field for over a decade and pretty much grew up in it
About: I am a compassionate and detailed sitter who has a passion for pet care! I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and kitties that are fearful/shy. I make it my goal to gain their trust with time. I am Animal First Aid/CPR certified and am very comfortable with giving meds, special diets, and extra attention! I am very flexible with my schedule so I am available for daily walks, potty breaks, litterbox changes and overnight/vacation care. I can typically make last minute visits when needed! I listen to each client's needs to determine a plan of action. I go above and beyond to make sure your home is secure and clean after I leave. I will happily bring in mail, papers, and packages if you are away, as well as watering plants on those hot summer days.
About: Hey there! I’m Katelyn. Thank you for considering me to take care of your furry companion(s). I have ample experience caring for and loving on: dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, birds, rodents, turtles and rabbits. This includes pups and kitties of all sizes, temperaments, ages and health statuses. I am Fear Free certified through my continued volunteer work with a local humane society. Fear Free is a nationwide initiative across the animal welfare community that offers online educational courses on handling fear, anxiety, and stress in dogs and cats through evidence based strategies. My time at the humane society consists of but not limited to: walking dogs, providing enrichment opportunities for the animals, assisting the staff with adoptions, and staying behind the scenes to tend to the back of the house tasks that keep the facility up and running. My approach is to treat each animal as an individual and get to know each other according to their unique personality and preferences. Positive reinforcement and enrichment opportunities are my jam! My experience ranges from dog walking to extended period pet sitting to fostering both dogs and cats to assisting behavior teams at animal shelters/rescues. I am also well versed in daily upkeep tasks required for barn animals. I’d be happy to elaborate upon request. I split my time between the Tryon, Greer, and surrounding areas. I work full time Monday-Friday in the veterinary industry in Columbus, NC. ***For house sitting bookings, I am able to watch your pets in your home only at this time.*** I believe animals thrive on routine and keeping their days as normal as possible when their person/family are away. Whatever their typical day to day looks like is how I will care for them! Safety is something I take very seriously and is of utmost importance.

“Mishael and her family were terrific. They were available for us last minute overnight during the holiday and they took such great care of our boy, Thor! Unfortunately he did not take us leaving him well and was extremely needy and depressed overnight but Mishael didn’t skip a beat.

I would recommend them to anyone needing someone to look after their fur baby!!!”
