“Ly and Jared are exceptional!!!! They take care of our dog with so much care and feel like family with the way they love your fur babies and communicate with you. After finding them, I never want anyone else to watch my dog again, besides them… they are amazing!!”
“Veronica and her husband were great with our fur baby Opie. From the first hug and handshake I knew Opie was in great hands. Throughout my trip they were sure to send pictures everyday of Opie and were very prompt at responding to messages. I will definitely reach out again in the future and highly recommend them if anyone needs a pet sitter!”

“Madi and her family were so welcoming and loving to my girls. They provided peace of mind and were accommodating to our extra needs due to being stuck out of town longer than anticipated. She sent multiple daily updates with photos showing me they were in the best of care. My girls experienced so many cuddles, walks, and a lot of playtime…they may have even been reluctant to leave Madi’s home! The communication was beyond excellent and I for sure trust her with my dogs again! 🐾🩷💕”
“Fabienne was fantastic with my Ginny girl! She sent lots of updates and pictures so I could follow along. Very good communication and she is very sweet and caring. Will definitely use again!!”

“Jonathan was great with Oliver. I needed someone last minute to watch him overnight and Jonathan was so kind to take In my puppy with great care. I will definitely use Jonathan again. Oliver connected with him and I felt safe and comfortable leaving him.”
“I loved that we kept in contact through the weekend. This was my girls (2 Chihuahuas) first time ever being away from me. They have always stayed with my family but since moving to a new state, I don't know anyone. After meeting her, I felt comfortable with leaving my baby girls. She communicated very well and sent me a picture of my girls. Thank you so much Karen.”
“Finding someone to take care of my rescue dog Onix in a completely new place for us was a challenge. We coordinate an encounter to meet Jay and Onix know his home. Jay is responsible, committed and thoughtful. Great availability and love for pets. I was in touch and received beautiful photos of Onix's experience with Jay. We were blessed to find him. Definitely, if I need a person to take care of my dog, I choose Jay again. 5 stars!”
“Angela and Rick went above and beyond in caring for our little Bean. They are an incredibly kind and genuinely sweet couple. We truly appreciated the regular updates and adorable photos they sent us throughout Bean’s stay. We wouldn’t trust anyone else with Mr. Bean—Angela and Rick will always be our first choice! I can’t recommend them highly enough. Thank you for loving our baby as much as we do!”
“Amanda was absolutely wonderful with our Ernie! ❤️ He had such a great time with her and we could tell right away that he was in such caring and responsible hands. She treated him like her own and made sure he was happy and comfortable the whole time. We especially loved getting all the videos and photos she sent us throughout his stay. It was so reassuring to see him having such a great time 🥰! Communication with Amanda was also super easy, friendly, and reliable from start to finish. We would absolutely trust Amanda with Ernie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, responsible and wonderful sitter ♥️. Thank you so much, Amanda!”

“Rusty was incredible. I was amazed at the questions he asked when we had our ‘meet and greet’ before we dropped off our pups. He treated our elder dog with the respect she deserved and our younger standard poodle loved him. They both had smiles on their faces every time he sent pictures and had a blast. I would definitely recommend Rusty!”
“Lindsay was so great in ensuring that we were kept up to date on all activities throughout our dog’s stay. She took photos, sent videos, and daily updates that put our minds at ease. Our dog Cilantro had a great time and I would definitely recommend Lindsay to anyone who ever needs dog boarding services!”

“Sarah did an excellent job caring for our two cats over the course of a week. She communicated with us daily, sent updated pictures, provided clean water and food, and maintained the litter box. We highly recommend Sarah and would love to work with her again!”
About: I have always loved cats. They are mysterious and affectionate, and each cat is unique with its own distinct personality. I have lived with cats and kittens since I was a child. I once hid a kitten in my closet that was rejected by his mom, and bottle fed it with a doll bottle! I hid him because my dad didn't want anymore cats. But the kitten grew into adulthood and he was one of my dad's favorites!
“Justine was wonderful with my fur babies and very thorough! She was able to get my shyest cat to play and that says a lot about her. I appreciate the time and effort she spent with my boys and I will continue to trust her with them in the future!”

“This is the 2nd time Crystal has taken care of Smokey Jo. She cares so much about animals and it is evident. We had a small mishap on our part and Crystal rolled with it, making sure our girl was taken care of and providing a huge relief for me.”
“Jessica was an amazing cat sitter! She was very attentive to the cats; Cinnamon loved her so much. She sent pictures of our cats and left report cards after each visit. We also really appreciated her quickly informing us that we had an ant problem. Thanks to her, we were able to address the issue while we were away. Thank you!”
“We have booked Ksenia multiple times and have had the best service with her! She does an incredible job taking care of our little four legged friend. We will book her again in the future for sure!”

About: I bring both professional animal experience and genuine compassion to pet care. I recently graduated with a degree in Animal Science from North Carolina A&T State University and currently work as a veterinary assistant. I’m comfortable handling pets with different personalities, needs, and medical conditions. I have experience giving oral medications and caring for animals of all ages. Growing up on a farm and working hands on with animals throughout college has helped me become patient, attentive, and confident around animals of all sizes. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I currently work full-time as a veterinary assistant. I have spent years caring for animals both personally and professionally. I’m available Sundays and most weekdays after 5 PM, which makes me a great option for evening walks, drop-in visits, and weekend care. I’m used to balancing animal care responsibilities throughout my day and enjoy providing pets with attentive, reliable, and compassionate care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of attention and exercise. I make sure they feel comfortable while their owner is away. I also pay close attention to behavior changes and overall wellness since I have experience working as a veterinary assistant. I’m comfortable administering oral medications if needed and caring for pets with different energy levels and personalities. I also make sure to keep the home clean, secure, and respected while providing updates and photos for peace of mind.
“Mia is fantastic! She’s very communicative, dependable, and goes above and beyond. She even helped us last minute with only one day’s notice during a family emergency. We’re so grateful for her and highly recommend her!”
About: Hello, my name is Brittnee. I’m an experienced, compassionate pet sitter with a deep love for dogs. My heart dog, Harper, recently crossed the rainbow bridge 🤍. While I miss him dearly, caring for other dogs has been a meaningful way for me to continue sharing the love, patience, and attention he taught me. I offer drop-in visits and walks Monday–Friday after 5:30, with weekend availability depending on my schedule. When visiting your home, I treat it with the same respect and care as my own, clean, responsible, and safety-focused at all times. My priority is always ensuring your pet feels comfortable, loved, and secure while you’re away. I would be honored to help care for your furry family member. I work 8:30 - 5 and play sports but if I’m free I’m happy to help! Please reach out or book with details and pet photos. I look forward to assisting. When I am visiting someone’s home I treat it as if it is my home. Clean and respectful. I will make sure home and dog are safe. No matter the location.
About: I've spent my entire life with cats, owning a total of seven as I write this! I've known their social ques since I was a baby, and I've taken care of them since I could take care of myself. I look after fur babies of all ages, including seniors and kittens. I promise to respect your babies, to let them nap as they please and get loving when they need (and even when they don't!) I love finding new toys to try to entertain animals as well, so I may ask before hand if your sweetheart can have treats and a goody basket!

“Veronica and her husband did a great job taking care of Pickles. They were willing to do a meet and greet with me before I booked to make sure our pets would mesh. My dog is usually timid with new dogs, but that was not the case here. She fit right in immediately. They send me lots of pictures, keep me updated, and my dog comes home happy and exhausted!”
“I highly recommend! My dog is always so happy every time he goes there. They are incredibly caring and responsible. I always feel at ease knowing my pup is in such good hands!”
“I can't express enough how grateful I am for Shayne's exceptional care for Lily. From the moment I entrusted my furry friend to her care, I knew I had made the right choice. Communication was outstanding throughout the entire period. Shayne kept me updated with regular photos, videos, and messages, which not only reassured me but also allowed me to witness the happiness and comfort my puppy was experiencing in her care. Additionally, Shayne demonstrated an incredible level of patience and attentiveness to my puppy's specific needs. She ensured that Lily had a safe and stimulating environment, which greatly contributed to Lily's growth and development. The level of dedication and genuine affection she showed towards Lily was truly reassuring. It was evident that Shayne treated my pup as if she were part of her own family. I couldn't be happier with the experience, and I wholeheartedly recommend Shayne to anyone seeking top-notch pet care. Her love, professionalism, and dedication are truly unmatched. I'm looking forward to entrusting my puppy to Shayne again in the future with complete confidence.”
“Jonathan was great. He was informative & kind. We are first time pup parents & he made leaving her for a few hours very reassuring. Will definitely continue using in the future. Thank you!”
About: I bring a rare mix of professional veterinary experience and full-time, in-home care to every pet I watch. I spent eight years working at Cleveland Park East Animal Hospital, where I managed large boarding groups and assisted with medications, surgeries, and specialized care. That background allows me to confidently care for pets who need medical attention or extra support. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home all day so pets are never left alone and receive constant care and companionship. They also become part of our family, enjoying gentle love and attention from my children. Your pet would truly be part of our family! I am blessed to be a stay at home mother, so I am available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Your pet would have constant care and attention from myself. They would also get to enjoy playing around our yard and porch and soak up all the extra cuddles. We have an outdoor cat, and we previously had our loving dog who passed away. We are used to having pets at home! While we do not have a fence, we have a grassy front yard and a large backyard with trees, grass, and even a creek. Our neighborhood boast 17 acres of natural space that include walking trails and a 3 acre pond. Your pet would love getting to go on unleashed walks with us throughout the day to explore all of these areas. As for our home, considering we have pets ourselves, our home is very pet friendly. Our cat prefers to explore outside during the day, but she absolutely loves dogs. Having lived with one for most of her life. We have baby gates to prevent dogs from going to the upstairs portion of our house, which leaves the entire downstairs for play, roaming, and resting.
“Cristina is very sweet and you can tell she really loves dogs. We had a small language barrier but we were so glad to find her on short notice! Thank you for taking great care of our babies Cristina!”
About: I have experience with taking care of all dogs, medical needs, young at hearts and old souls alike. I have one large love that was a rescue. I have been a foster for dogs for quite some time. Every dog that has entered my home has been loved and cared for as if they were my own pups. I currently work from home which allows me to have time to supervise and interact with your pet all day. I am able to let dogs out to play or use the bathroom at least every hour if needed. I have a 6ft fence that surrounds my backyard to ensure that your dog stays safe at my home. In my house, your dog will have the ability to roam freely. My dogs are allowed on the furniture, so if that is something you are okay with, your dog will be allowed too. I do have an extra large wire crate that I used with my dogs when they were young, so you will not need to provide a crate if your dog requires that. If your dog does not use a crate, that is fine too. Charlie is a 100lb mix that is very friendly. He will play with other dogs if that is what they want and he will also lay and be very relaxed.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience caring for all kinds of animals — from goats and pigs to dogs and cats! I’ve been around animals since I was a kid, so I understand their different personalities and needs. I’m patient, gentle, and always make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I have experience with puppies, seniors, and pets that need a little extra attention or care. Whether it’s sticking to a routine, giving medication, or helping with basic training, I make sure your pet gets the same love and consistency they’re used to at home. I’m currently a stay at home mom to a 4 year old so I am available at any time of the day and any day or the week! When caring for pets, my main focus is making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable — whether they’re in my home or yours. I always take time to get to know each pet’s routine, personality, and preferences so I can keep things as familiar as possible. In your home, I respect your space and follow your instructions carefully — from feeding schedules to walks and playtime. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, along with updates and photos to keep you at ease. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment with lots of love, snuggles, and supervision. I treat every animal like part of the family and make sure they’re happy, safe, and well cared for at all times.
“Gabrielle (and her family) was awesome! My dog clearly enjoyed himself and felt safe and comfortable during his stay. He had the perfect combination of tired energy by the end of it, which is a testament to Gabrielle and the whole environment. Can't say enough- super happy and highly recommend for others.”
“Katherine took really good care of Ivy! She took her for a walk and played with her in the backyard and gave her lots of love. I also got lots of photos and updates during Ivy’s stay! I will be re-booking with Katherine and would recommend her to anyone :)”
“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.”
“Friendly, warm atmosphere. We left our two pups for two full day events. Our dogs are anxious and normally can’t wait to leave a sitters. Erika was excellent from start to finish. Our pups didn’t want to leave and the next day happy to be back. Highly recommend!”
About: I have 10+ years of taking care of pets. I have experience with puppies and all their playfulness through seniors that need extra attention and medications. Your fur babies and mine are my passion! I have a very flexible schedule and have plenty of time to play and care for your pets during the day, evenings or overnight stays. I have a fenced back yard and two friendly pups that would love to play with yours. I can also crate if needed. Giving medications is also an expertise of mine as I had a 14 yr old fur baby that suffered from heart disease and needed lots of daily medicine.
About: Avid pet lover looking for fur babies to care for! All pets considered, senior, puppy, kitten, and everything in between. We have raised lots of animals in our home and would love to help with yours. We are a foster home for a few different rescues as well as Greenville county so have experience with many different personalities, temperaments, and quirks as well as administering medications, eye drops, etc. We have fostered bottle fed kittens, nursing mommas, and pregnant pups. I am a stay at home mom looking to pet sit, drop in, or walk whenever you need me. I have very open availability all week long. If you’d like your pets to stay with us we have a separate office space in the home they can use to decompress in until they are comfortable. They are free to use the whole home and if they’re cuddlers they are also welcome to sleep in the bed at night. As a mother to both human children and furry children safety is my number one priority. I will take any additional precautions that you request. Separate room in home can be offered if they need alone time or to be fed separate from our pets. They are free to use the whole house as well.
“Winnie had a great time with Tiffany and David! They made the day so fun. And all the pictures were wonderful. I would not hesitate to have them watch her again and highly recommend their care!”

About: Fur babies are my favorite people! I have loved and cared for dogs, cats, chickens, guinea pigs, and numerous other creatures since I was a child growing up on a farm. A home isn't complete without at least one "paw-some" friend. I am self-employed as a financial coach and have a very flexible schedule to meet your in-home pet sitting, drop-in and pet walking needs. I am available seven days per week. Your pet will be less stressed about your absence when they can continue to play, eat and be cuddled in the comfort of your home, in surroundings that are most familiar and comfortable to them.
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. I was raised around them from the time I was 5 years old and started learning how to care for the animals around me. I have a Husky of my own that is my bestest friend and a big baby that is super spoiled. I would love to make your pet feel just as loved with me as they are with you! I work from home so I would be able to provide optimal care for your fur baby.

I can easily crate your dog if needed, I also have a 4 month old husky puppy to keep them company that is extremely friendly and loves to play.
About: Hi My Name is Crystal. I grew up here in Simpsonville. I've grown up around animals of all kinds. I started caring for them at an early age. We had what most people would call a small farm. We had Dogs, cats, poultry, swine, Gerbils, Hamsters, Rabbit. Peacocks, pheasants, quail, the list can go on. I have cared for animals of all ages. I also can take care of plants while you are away. I have two Associate in Applied Science degrees from Central Piedmont Community College in Charlotte, North Carolina. ( Horticulture Technology, Turfgrass Management Technology) I finished out my college career at Clemson University with a Bachelor's Degree in Agricultural Education.I am not afraid of animals, well besides Spiders but that's besides the point. My house and pet sitting knowledge began while living in Charlotte attending community college, I would house sit for friends while their families were on vacation. Taking care of their plants and animals as if they were my own. My pets are my children and that is how I will treat your pets as well. They are family members. I know most pets are set in their ways with a schedule, and I will strive to maintain that they stay on their schedule. Currently in my home with my family I have a Welsh Pembroke Corgi named Beauxman Makenna. He is 11 years old. I also have a rescue Orange Tabby cat named Wilson. However, with my family our house has 4 dogs, 3 upstairs cats, 6 downstairs cats, amongst feeding neighborhood cats. Over the last number of years I have house sat for neighbors, while they have gone on vacation as well. I look forward to working with you soon. My Schedule is Super Flexible to best fit your needs. For the foreseeable future I am available for House Sitting and Pet Sitting. First thing in the morning animals need their morning bathroom time before breakfast, food, and outside again. I take my pups out as they ask to go out. If it is hot outside I limited their outside time, but add frequent trips for shorter times outside, to keep them from getting over heated. Playing with toys and giving them time to play is also one of my favorite things. I do enjoy snuggle time with them as well. I am not able to watch pups in my own home because of number of animals and family members. I will be glad to do morning and afternoon checks (Feeding, bathroom, playtime, attention). Or my other option is I will be glad to stay as a guest in your home to watch your animals and house. I will treat your home, and animals with the upmost respect. I will also provide daily pictures of your animals.
About: Hi! I’m Sarah, lifelong dog lover, professional dog walker, and proud pup parent to Greylee, my sweet 7 year old black Lab and the absolute highlight of my life. Dogs have always been part of my world, and caring for them is second nature to me. What sets me apart is my experience with senior pups and newborn litters. I’ve spent years lovingly administering medication to elderly dogs with special health needs, ensuring they’re comfortable, safe, and thriving on every walk or visit. I’ve also had the joy and responsibility of helping deliver puppies and providing attentive aftercare for both mom and pups for up to four weeks, from warm snuggles to round the clock watchfulness. Whether your dog is full of zoomies or needs a gentle, patient hand, I’m here to walk with love, care, and the same devotion I give to my own. Every pup in my care is treated like family, because to me, they are. 💛 I’m available for walks and pet visits every Saturday through Monday, with just a couple of exceptions: • On Sunday mornings, I’m committed to church and available after 1 PM. • On Monday mornings, I take time for mental health and self-care, so I’m also available after 1 PM. Outside of those times, I’m flexible and happy to accommodate your dog’s needs, whether it’s a morning stroll, an afternoon potty break, or an evening cuddle visit. Just let me know what works for you, and I’ll show up with patience, love, and lots of tail wags! 🐾 When I care for pets in your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I give to the animals themselves. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first, but I also understand that your home is a personal and trusted space. I make sure to: • Follow your home and pet care routines exactly as instructed • Clean up after myself and your pet (muddy paws, accidents, food, etc.) • Keep doors locked, alarms set, and your privacy protected • Never invite guests or cross personal boundaries, your home is yours alone I aim to bring a calm, respectful presence into your home so that your pet feels safe and happy, and you feel total peace of mind. You can trust that I’ll care for both your pet and your space with gentleness, reliability, and integrity.
About: Tucked away in a secluded area of Gray Court, SC, our generously 1acre fenced-in yard provides a tranquil ambiance for weekend play and fun. As a passionate animal care advocate with a robust background in boarding, I tap into 12+ years of boarding and doggy day care services. I am available for both overnight boarding and doggy daycare throughout the day. It is vital that your pet is dog and cat-friendly, as they will interact with other friendly pets in my home. Additionally, we necessitate proof of spaying/neutering, current vaccinations, fecal exam, and flea prevention to maintain a safe and clean environment for all pets. If you need a weekend away or just a place during the day your pet can play with other furry friends and have a day of activity and fun in a safe environment I am only a message away 😄🐶 I am available 7 days a week for pet care services. All dogs and cats need to be socialized and able to play in a supervised group setting. Up to date on vaccines and a recent fecal sample to guarantee no parasites. All pets must be spayed or neutered prior to daycare. A pet profile sheet will be provided first so that I can know the basic needs of your pet and care. I have a one acre fenced in yard, allowing a day of play and fun. A kiddie pool to cool down during the summer heat and a soft couch for when your pup is spent from the exciting day of activity and fun!
About: I used to work at daycare with all kinds of dogs and cats including seniors. I have a big passion for animals and know how to administer medication if needed. I’ve helped out family and friends with their pets including feeding, potty breaks, playing outside with them, etc. I used to work part-time at doggy daycare but now at Food Lion, so I can spend time with your furbabies. I’m also in school for vet tech but I make time for the babies always! For clients, I usually stick to schedule with their feeding, potty breaks, etc. I like to keep their food and water bowls clean every time to prevent them from being sick. I take them outside for potty breaks and play with for about 30-40 minutes unless it’s too hot or cold. I also like to keep the owner updated on how their pets are doing and send pictures.
About: Hello! I’m a college students who has always had a soft spot for animals. I’ve had 2 dogs of my own; Hunter was a black lab German shepherd mix and Bear was a Yorkshire mix. I took care of my friend’s dog, Harley who is a dachshund mix, when they needed help. Hunter had a couple of medical issues so I’m well versed in giving medication to dogs. Both of my dogs were super reactive so I also have experience in that area aswell. Harley is a senior dog so I make sure he gets what he needs adequately. I’m a college who loves being active! Having the opportunity to be with dogs, getting more steps in, and getting paid is like hitting three birds with one stone. So that means I’m available every day for the summer! I’ve had big and small dogs previously myself and I have also taken care of my friend’s dogs as well. I enjoy spending time with animals and playing with them! I’m currently in a apartment so boarding is not suitable for me or your dogs, however, drop-ins and walking are well within my schedule.
About: I have watched dogs for many of my friends families and I have a dog of my own. I love animals and i hope to meet your fur baby soon! I dog sat and babysat when I was in high school but I have been a pet owner for almost 20 years. I have school Monday-Thursday and some online classes, so I am pretty open to every weekday coming to play with your pets. I would also love the exercise and the opportunity to meet new dogs. I will treat your pet with the same respect,love,and care that I would show my own pet.I am very strong on that pets are smart and know exactly what we are saying so I assure you that I will not touch or even speak to your pet in a way that I wouldn’t want someone treating my pet.
About: I have taken care of cats, dogs, rabbits, Guinea pigs, and horses my whole life. Neighbors, family, friends, and customers trust me with their pets and home. I am also a housekeeper, of which hanging out with the animals is my very favorite part! I’m available mornings, afternoons, evenings, and for overnights seven days a week. I truly care about an animal’s well- being and a client’s peace of mind. I’m a mother of older children and several animals, so you know it’s my calling to nurture and care for others. I enjoy spending time outdoors tent camping and hiking, so dog walking is beneficial training. I never want to leave, and I am seldom in a rush to get out the door. I usually stay over the assigned amount of time, because your pets look so sad when I’m leaving them! I’m just here to fit into your home and routine, and am happy to take good care of whatever is needed during your absence.

I’m comfortable handling pets with different personalities, needs, and medical conditions. I have experience giving oral medications and caring for animals of all ages. Growing up on a farm and working hands on with animals throughout college has helped me become patient, attentive, and confident around animals of all sizes. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I currently work full-time as a veterinary assistant. I have spent years caring for animals both personally and professionally. I’m available Sundays and most weekdays after 5 PM, which makes me a great option for evening walks, drop-in visits, and weekend care. I’m used to balancing animal care responsibilities throughout my day and enjoy providing pets with attentive, reliable, and compassionate care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of attention and exercise. I make sure they feel comfortable while their owner is away. I also pay close attention to behavior changes and overall wellness since I have experience working as a veterinary assistant. I’m comfortable administering oral medications if needed and caring for pets with different energy levels and personalities. I also make sure to keep the home clean, secure, and respected while providing updates and photos for peace of mind.
About: I love animals, especially dogs. I've taken care of dogs for friends and family for over 20 years. I am a fur mama to 2 yorkie's. One of them is a diabetic and requires daily shots. I can take care of any special needs that your pets require. I'm great with all dogs, they're my favorite kind of people.. I work full time Monday-Thursday 8-5. I'm available after 5 and then anything Fri-Sunday. I can run to your home to walk on my lunch if its in the Greenville or Simpsonville area. I will do what the owner needs me to do: walk on leash, stay in fence yard, crate in kennel. My two yorkies are trained. One walks on leash while other one stays by my side when outside.
“Shelley did a great job of taking Macs on his walks this week. She shared how he was feeling each day and a wonderful picture of our boy! Thanks Shelley for taking great care of our fur baby!”
About: In this house, pets are treated like family members. They get all the love, attention, and snuggles (of course) that they deserve. Experience includes puppy and senior care. Over the summer months, I’m not working allowing for open flexibility to tend to pet needs. During school months, I work from home with ample breaks and opportunities for frequent walks and attention. Dogs are always walked on leashes. There are plenty of grassy areas within my complex for walking with a dog park included. I provide particular and full attention to the pets needs and meet the desires established by the owner. I go over and beyond in showering love/attention and ensuring safety.
About: I’m a nursing student with a flexible schedule who loves dogs and making some extra tuition money! My husband works from home so your pet will have someone around most of the time. I would love to help you with your sitting needs anyway that I can! I am familiar with the basics of training, bathing, feeding, walking, etc… I’ve trained and raised 4 beautiful labs so far. I look forward to meeting you soon!😊 My schedule is usually pretty flexible but every week does look different for me. I’m happy to work around your needs and make time in my schedule for you. I love to send pictures of the pets when I arrive at the location. It ensures to you that I have arrived and am doing what you have requested! I’m open to texting while I work so if you need anything additional, like a package brought inside or I have a quick question, that will help to make everything run smoothly.
About: Hello, my name is Brittnee. I’m an experienced, compassionate pet sitter with a deep love for dogs. My heart dog, Harper, recently crossed the rainbow bridge 🤍. While I miss him dearly, caring for other dogs has been a meaningful way for me to continue sharing the love, patience, and attention he taught me. I offer drop-in visits and walks Monday–Friday after 5:30, with weekend availability depending on my schedule. When visiting your home, I treat it with the same respect and care as my own, clean, responsible, and safety-focused at all times. My priority is always ensuring your pet feels comfortable, loved, and secure while you’re away. I would be honored to help care for your furry family member. I work 8:30 - 5 and play sports but if I’m free I’m happy to help! Please reach out or book with details and pet photos. I look forward to assisting. When I am visiting someone’s home I treat it as if it is my home. Clean and respectful. I will make sure home and dog are safe. No matter the location.

I would definitely recommend Rusty!”

About: Avid pet lover looking for fur babies to care for! All pets considered, senior, puppy, kitten, and everything in between. We have raised lots of animals in our home and would love to help with yours. We are a foster home for a few different rescues as well as Greenville county so have experience with many different personalities, temperaments, and quirks as well as administering medications, eye drops, etc. We have fostered bottle fed kittens, nursing mommas, and pregnant pups. I am a stay at home mom looking to pet sit, drop in, or walk whenever you need me. I have very open availability all week long. If you’d like your pets to stay with us we have a separate office space in the home they can use to decompress in until they are comfortable. They are free to use the whole home and if they’re cuddlers they are also welcome to sleep in the bed at night. As a mother to both human children and furry children safety is my number one priority. I will take any additional precautions that you request. Separate room in home can be offered if they need alone time or to be fed separate from our pets. They are free to use the whole house as well.
