“Shayne and Jonathan are incredible! So flexible, communicative, and take amazing care of our pups!! They are for sure the first people we reach out to when we need a sitter and will continue to be! Our girls love going there.”
“We had to find someone to watch our pups pretty last minute before going out of town. We reached out to Jared and Ly and they were kind and quick to respond! They sent us pictures of our girls having fun often while we were gone which gave us peace of mind. Our friendly but more skeptical girl walked right up to Jared on first meeting and had no reservations, and they both came home happy. We will definitely be using them again in the future!”
“Finley very much enjoyed her stay with Kelly! I was appreciative of the daily pictures and updates to stay in touch while we were out of town. Kelly was great to communicate with and very loving to our pup. I’d highly recommend Kelly and will definitely use her again in the future.”
“There aren't enough stars for a rating! Fabienne was just fabulous in every way. I received many photos so I knew my 12 year old lab was in good hands. She wrapped him in a thunder shirt during a thunder storm, gave him lots of love, and even forgave him for getting into her garbage!”
“We were so happy to have Jessica take care of our little dog. She is so sweet and gentle with her. Winnie took to her immediately. It was a long stay of eight nights and Jessica made us feel confident that Winnie was being well taken care of. We appreciated everything she did for Winnie and wouldn't hesitate to rebook with her again in the future.”
“Garrett and Rachel were great with Tucker and kept me updated with photos throughout his stay!! I felt very comfortable that Tucker was well taken care of and will definitely use them again!”
“Rebecca took excellent care of Thumper and Binks while we were away, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. 🐾❤️ Rebecca was caring, attentive, responsible, and treated our babies like they were her own. She followed all of our instructions, kept us updated, and made sure Thumper and Binks were comfortable, happy, and well cared for. It can be stressful leaving your fur babies with someone else new for the first time, but she made the entire experience so easy for us. We could truly enjoy our time away knowing they were being loved and cared for. We highly recommend Rebecca to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and loving pet sitter. We will definitely use her again! 🐶🐶💕 Thank you so much for taking such great care of our babies!”
“We are beyond thankful for Suzanne and her son, Jackson! They were so welcoming when we first arrived! They went above and beyond in caring for our old pup (so much so that he didn't want to leave when we came to pick him up!) We will absolutely rebook in the future ❤️”
“Emily was awesome! She kept me updated daily with pictures and text messages. I felt very comfortable with leaving my dog while on vacation with Emily. I'm very pleased and will use her for the future.”
“Karen is a wonderful sitter! Finn absolutely loved going. He has been there twice now and she is great about sending fun pictures and videos to know he was doing well. She is very responsive and overall had a great experience using her to watch Finn.”
“Andre is amazing! She and her family go above and beyond to take care of our dog. They make him feel at home. Our dog loves playing with her dogs and kids. We are repeat clients and will continue booking with Andre whenever we can.”
“Kelly is such a pleasant home away from home. The updates give such assurance that my PJ is happy! He has a new fur BFF - and her family is simply adorable. She’s definitely on the rebook list.”
“Karson took great care of our sweet doggo in a very last minute notice request at our home. He sent pictures and communicated very well. Our dog is shy and Karson eased in and let him warm up to him. Would not hesitate to use again in the future.”
“Lindsay was incredible! I received so many pics and updates of Max during his stay- it looked like he had a better vacation than I did! He was so well cared for, and we will definitely be repeat customers!”
About: I love animals and have grown up raising, training, and taking care of their overall well being. I raised and trained a pitbull pup (Nova) until she was 5 years old, with experience from taking care of cats and dogs at the time, and I now live with 2 cats! I had them since they were 3 months old and they will be turning 1 in October! I work full time, 7a-3p. I like to give boarding dogs their own room while I'm away, and I have camera's set up in there in case of an emergency. When I'm boarding dogs I like to take them out for a few hours before I leave, bring them inside, interact with them and make sure they have everything they need. When I come home first thing I do is let them outside. I let them play in the yard with supervision, I'll play with them, do short exercises, etc. While I'm home I do allow pets on the couch, I'll have the tv on, and hang out with them or play with them, depends on the pet. I also provide pictures during the stay which my main goal is to take every few hours. My availability on Rover may not always be correct, I may be boarding other pets or I may be taking extra shifts for work. Please ask. Feeding, giving water, cleaning litter, giving medicine, playing with them, letting them outside and/or walking them. Some things like giving medicine will need to be specified and especially if you have certain feeding habits I should be aware of just let me know. I will also send you photo updates on how they're doing!
About: I have had dogs my entire life. I currently have two at the moment. A Long haired chihuahua and a Boston Terrier. I have been dog sitting my best friends dogs when she goes out of town. My mom owns a Golden Retriever who is over all the time at my house. I work a 9 to 5 with a very flexible schedule. Most weekends I am home as well I am working a full time job from 830 to 5pm but it is a very flexible schedule for me. I do not usually do anything on weekends. I love going for walks with my dogs and playing outside in the back yard a lot I treat and care for my own pets like they are my children. I will do the same for your dogs. They a routine potty breaks. I have a huge backyard they can all run and play around in.
“Lindsay is amazing!! She took very good care of my fur baby while I was on vacation for 2 weeks. He has separation anxiety and I was worried, but he did great with her. She updated me with text and pictures the entire time. I highly recommended.”
“Joy is great! She and her family treated our dog like their own and we’ll definitely be booking her again in the future. Joy was so accommodating when we asked if we could change the pick up time as well. Extremely pleased!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for 11 years, and animals have always been a natural part of my life. I’m a patient, attentive caregiver who genuinely enjoys getting to know each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs. I understand how hard it can be to leave your pet in someone else’s care, so I treat every animal with the same patience, affection, and attention I’d want for my own. I’m comfortable with energetic dogs, cuddly companions, and pets who need a little extra reassurance. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I am currently a stay at home mom to three, one of which is in school. I have flexibility in my schedule throughout the week and on weekends. I’m home often and can build pet care naturally into my daily routine, including regular walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of affection. I also have experience balancing pets with a busy family life, so I’m comfortable keeping up with a pet’s routine while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and included. I’ll follow your pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible so they feel right at home while you’re away. I am located very close to parks, trails and my backyard is fenced in. My home is large enough to accommodate a high energy pup or if your pup is shy and not much of a cuddler, I have space for that too!

“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!”
“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.”
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!
About: I have owned cats most of my life. Holding and petting cats bring a peacefulness. At the moment I only have 2 small dogs, but I hope to bring a cat back into my life some day.
About: I’ve cared for cats for several years and understand that every cat has its own personality and routine. Friends and family have trusted me to feed, play with, clean litter boxes, and provide companionship for their cats while they’re away. I pay close attention to each cat’s needs and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Whether your cat is playful, shy, young, or senior, I’ll treat them with patience and kindness.

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 currently work Monday through Friday, but I’m available on weekends to provide loving and reliable pet care. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and would love the opportunity to care for your pets and make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away! 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.
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: I have 6+ years experience in animal care, 2 years which were as a veterinary assistant. I have experience with all different breeds, puppies, healthy adult dogs, senior dogs, farm animals and dogs with disabilities/special needs. I also have experience with administering medications orally or by injection. I treat every animal like my own and would love to watch your pets. I am now a stay a home mom so I am always at home to provide your baby with snuggles, food, water, potty breaks and play time! Safety and happiness is a priority! I am always home to make sure your pet is safe and comfortable. I have 2 dogs they can play with or can easily keep them separate if needed. I always keep your pets best interest in mind.
“Thank you so much for caring for my little Chase. The pictures were awesome. Every morning, he waggle and waggle with joy as he joined you and his fur friends for the day.”
About: I am ready to provide your dog with the love, care, and attention they deserve. I am a low volume sitter usually only caring for one family at a time in my home. I have a 2 yr old dachshund who loves to play. I have a big fenced in back yard. Drop off and pickup must be between the hours of 7am and 9:00pm. I am a stay at home mom to two kids who are 6 and 11 so your dog must be good with kids. Caring for our furry guests is something the whole family takes part in. While in my care, I will do my best to replicate what your dog is used to at home but I do not allow dogs to sleep in my bed as I wouldn’t be able to sleep myself.
About: I have experience with many breeds and ages. I come from a long line of dog lovers and currently have 4 fur babies myself. I have been a dog sitter for many friends and family and look forward to assisting with your pet care needs! I work from home part time for a local real estate business. Due to this my schedule is pretty flexible and I can accommodate most schedules I would be able to come over feed and water and let out to potty or take your pet for a walk and give them lots of cuddles and attention.
“My dog, Buster, loves coming to play with Garrett and Garrett’s pup, Dax, for doggy day care! Even though Buster is older he still has a lot of energy, and he is the only dog in our home. Buster gets socialization and play time with Dax in Garrett’s fenced in backyard and comes home both happy and tired! Highly recommend Garrett (and Dax)!”
About: I have years of dog-care experience, including working at a pet resort, administering medications, training, owning, and fostering pregnant and nursing cats and kittens. I absolutely love training, so if you have a skill or command you want your dog practiced or taught, I can do training while you're away. Have experience with animal behavior. Love walking dogs of all sizes. I have administered oral medications for dogs that don't like it. Willing to do light grooming (bathing, brushing, ear cleaning, nail dremmel for those who are trained for grooming). Having a high energy puppy, I’m accustomed to being out doing heavy exercise around 2 hours a day plus lower intensity walks as needed. For older or lower intensity dogs who just want to snuggle they can have very opportunity to do so! I like to keep dogs leashed for safety and have heavy duty long lines to allow them to run and chase or sniff at will. Able to do a variety of enrichment games and puzzles to get their brains working and tired.
“Tucker had a blast! She sent pics and texts regularly to keep me updated with how things were going and I really appreciated that! Tucker felt really comfortable and was well taken care of! Thanks so much!”
About: Fur babies are a passion in my household! ❤️🐾 I recently relocated to the area and am excited to build a new community of furry friends and wonderful families. While I may be new to the neighborhood, I’m certainly not new to pet care! I spent five years working as the Executive Assistant at a local animal shelter, where I worked alongside dogs and cats every day. Not only did I do the usual doggie care dance (you know, the poop scooping and whatnot 😄), but I also had the opportunity to work hand-in-hand with some wonderful trainers who taught me valuable basic training skills. Over the years, I cared for dogs of all shapes, sizes, personalities, and backgrounds—from severely abused animals learning to trust again to beloved family pets. After leaving the shelter more than six years ago, I continued doing what I love through pet sitting. At our previous home, we built an amazing group of regular clients, including daily doggie daycare pups and frequent boarding guests who became part of the family. I work from home, which allows me to provide plenty of supervision, companionship, and cuddles throughout the day. Although we don’t currently have a dog of our own, we lost our sweet Nova last summer and miss having four paws around the house. Our home is full of love, and caring for other people’s pets is one of the ways we get to share it. While we don’t have a fenced yard, we have no shortage of opportunities for exercise and fun! Our neighborhood has a fenced dog park, walking trails, and another dog park just across the road, so there are plenty of options for walks, playtime, and sniffing adventures. I’m excited to put down roots here and build lasting relationships with local pet parents. Whether your pup needs daycare, boarding, walks, or just some extra love while you’re away, I’d be honored to care for them like one of my own. I can’t wait to meet your babies! 🐶🐱💕 Pet care fits into our daily routine easily. I work from home 99% of the time. It’s so nice to bring in your fur babies. We enjoy them so much! They really add to our days. We offer walks, basic training, and of course loads of love to the pets in our care 🩷 we also are able to tend to medical needs if needed
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the genuine love and care I bring to every dog I meet. I see each pet as an individual with their own personality and needs, and I make it my priority to make them feel safe, happy, and loved—just like they would at home. I have two sweet rescue dogs of my own who are incredibly friendly with both people and other dogs. Living with them has taught me so much about patience, trust-building, and how to read a dog’s body language. It’s also given me real experience in creating a calm, playful, and secure environment, especially for dogs who may be shy, energetic, or still adjusting to new surroundings. Whether it’s playing fetch, going for walks, or simply being a calming presence, I put my heart into giving every pup the attention and affection they deserve. You can feel confident that your dog will be treated with kindness, respect, and lots of love while they’re with me. I work from home about 12 hours a week, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to fully focus on caring for dogs. My schedule allows me to provide consistent attention throughout the day—whether that means extra potty breaks, playtime, or just keeping a close eye on your pup to make sure they feel safe and comfortable. Because I’m home most of the day, I can easily adapt to each dog’s routine and needs. Whether your dog requires a little extra care, more frequent walks, or simply loves companionship, I’m here to provide a calm, loving environment with lots of one-on-one time. At home, we follow a balanced routine that includes a mix of long and short walks throughout the day to keep dogs active and happy. I also have access to a dog park in the apartment complex, which is great for safe playtime and socializing in a controlled environment. I live with my boyfriend, and while I’m the primary caregiver during the day, he also helps out with the dogs in the mornings, evenings, and on weekends. We both love spending time with animals, and your pup will receive plenty of attention, love, and care from the two of us throughout their stay. Inside, I love incorporating little training moments during the day to encourage good behavior—like practicing “sit,” “wait,” or calm greetings. It keeps their minds engaged and helps create a positive, structured environment. If your dog is crate-trained or feels more comfortable having their own space, I’m happy to accommodate that as well. I can provide crate time for rest, routine, or safety—whatever works best for your pup’s needs. Overall, I aim to create a peaceful, enriching, and loving home where every dog can feel secure and cared for.
“Sad Rover wouldn’t let me tip higher! We love Jennifer! We have used her for both over night boarding and daycare service. She has been great about sending pictures and updates. Our boys always come home tired for days! Can’t wait to use her again :)”
About: Hi, I’m Amanda! 🐾 Welcome! I’m a dedicated pet caregiver who believes every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and cared for while their family is away. With nearly 3 years of experience caring for pets in my community, I’ve had the privilege of caring for dogs and cats with a variety of personalities, routines, and needs. I’m home full-time, allowing me to provide attentive, personalized care throughout the day. Your pet will receive plenty of companionship, playtime, potty breaks, walks, and affection in a calm, comfortable home environment. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, which is why I prioritize communication and peace of mind. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel connected and confident that your pet is happy and well cared for. My approach is simple: I treat every pet as if they were my own. I take the time to understand their routine, personality, and preferences so they can feel right at home. Whether your pet loves adventure, playtime, or simply relaxing with extra cuddles, I’m here to provide dependable, loving care. I would love the opportunity to meet your pet and provide the same level of care and attention I would want for my own. 🐶🐱❤️ I have a very flexible schedule so I have plenty of time to be with your fur babies and give them the attention that they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space and animals with the same respect and attention I would my own. I tailor each visit based on the pet’s needs and the service selected.
About: Greetings! My name is Melissa: human, dog and cat mom, wife to a Deaf man, and prior 6th grade English teacher. My husband, three children (ages 20, 18, 15), and I have lived in Simpsonville, SC for 23 years: it’s definitely home sweet home! We have five dogs, two outdoor cats, three indoor cats, and a Leopard Gecko. Yes, we all *LOVE* animals! Pets are an integral part of our lives: always have been, always will be! Years back, during my BC (Before Children) era, I was an intake coordinator and foster parent for Foothills Golden Retriever Rescue. Hard to put into words the pure joy in being a part of the rescue world. I have since worked with the Greenville Humane Society in education outreach, and when in the field of education, was involved with Foothills Search & Rescue (am now a volunteer in their wonderful nonprofit) and SLED’s (South Carolina Law Enforcement Division) K-9 unit: brought both in, simultaneously and multiple times, to the school I taught at, to conduct an animal intelligence demo for the school student body. In addition, I have a wide-range of experience working with special needs dogs and cats in a variety of capacities: administration of meds (oral and injected), obedience training (currently training a 4-month-old German Shepherd Dog, and 6 month old Golden Retriever), as well as more than two decades with fosters and rescues- many with behavioral challenges including separation anxiety, reactivity, and resource guarding. In addition, among the hundreds of dogs and cats I’ve owned, fostered, adopted, and worked with over the years, a number have had physical impairments: a 3-legged Dachshund, blind pug, and deaf Shih Tzu, to name a but a few. I offer loving, dependable, and responsible care for your pet(s). Our pets, like yours, are a part of our family. Subsequently, I make it a priority to ensure their well-being when we are away. I offer the same peace of mind for you and yours: including care customized to yours and your pet’s(s) specific needs. Looking forward to connecting with you and your fur family! *FOR THOSE WITH LARGE FUR FAMILIES: no charge for the fourth pet! * FOR THOSE WITH ‘OTHER’ PETS: I have experience in providing care for pet rabbits, birds, fish, turtles, lizards, and snakes- as well as an assortment of livestock (including pigs, chickens, and horses). Fees vary, just mention it in your booking request. This is my ninth year offering pet care services. My clientele has grown to such a degree that in 2022 I was able to move into working it full time! Consequently, my schedule is wide open and can work within the timeframe that works best for you and your pet(s). I am available seven days a week, any time during the day or night for check ins, walks, house sitting, and boarding. Care I provide my client’s pet(s) is individually-based. Having a large, diverse fur family myself, I understand that circumstances and expectations vary from person-to-person. Therefore, I customize ‘care’ according to the client’s specific needs. It is their direction that guides the care that I provide: “care” that is always grounded in love, dependability, and responsibility.
“Ash did a great job with our Schnauzer, Jack. She walked him regularly, made homemade treats for him and let him chill on her sofa. This was wonderful while we spent the day with great friends and was a great comfort to us, knowing that Jack was safe and happy. Highly recommend. Call Ash.”
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.
About: Growing up I had a dog named Toby and Kallie the cat! We’d be responsible for taking Toby on walks, feeding him, administering medication, and of course showing both of them major love and affection. My work schedule is very flexible so I’m able to adjust according to your pup’s needs. I work from home on occasion and would be happy to have some canine company in the house. I live in a pondside home in a safe suburban neighborhood. It’s a wooded area with all kinds of critters, much to explore! I’ll set up a bed with blankets in the sunroom for my doggie guests :)
About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life. My friends all call me to watch their precious pups when they go out of town. I love to spend time with all animals, playing with the dogs, petting the cats, feeding the reptiles, the list goes on. I have cared for animals in all walks of life, from babies, puppies to senior animals. I love taking them for a walk around the neighborhood, chilling and watching a movie together, throwing the ball in the backyard. I do work part time, however I get to make my own schedule. My schedule is very flexible for your animal needs. Pet care is a passion of mine. I can easily take your pet on walks, outside to use the potty, or even play some tug of war with them. I know some pets stick to a special diet for feeding and/or treats and I can stick to their routine or special needs.

About: I have experience in doggy daycare and dog sitting. I worked in a doggy daycare called River Dog Inn when I was 18, in 2022. I would watch and take care of the small dog group typically, but would have no problem watching the big and medium dog groups, as well. I would clean their crates, take them outside to play and do their business, and would take dogs in and out from the yard when it is time to go back in or time for pick-up. I also have my own dog, MuShu, who is a Lhasa Apso, and I have had her for almost 8 years! I am currently unemployed so I will have more free time to pet sit, walk dogs, or pet sit overnight. I will be able to care for pets any day in the week, except for Fridays. Weekends can be worked around, I may not always be able to do weekends. Overall, my schedule is pretty freed up, currently. I can care for pets in the client’s home! I listen to the pet owner’s needs for the pet, because every pet is different. I take them out as much as needed and feed them twice a day, depending on the pet. I pet them and play with them and can play fetch with them outside. I want your pet to feel as taken care for and loved as possible!

“Shayne and Jonathan are incredible! So flexible, communicative, and take amazing care of our pups!! They are for sure the first people we reach out to when we need a sitter and will continue to be! Our girls love going there.”
“We had to find someone to watch our pups pretty last minute before going out of town. We reached out to Jared and Ly and they were kind and quick to respond! They sent us pictures of our girls having fun often while we were gone which gave us peace of mind. Our friendly but more skeptical girl walked right up to Jared on first meeting and had no reservations, and they both came home happy. We will definitely be using them again in the future!”
“There aren't enough stars for a rating! Fabienne was just fabulous in every way. I received many photos so I knew my 12 year old lab was in good hands. She wrapped him in a thunder shirt during a thunder storm, gave him lots of love, and even forgave him for getting into her garbage!”
“Garrett and Rachel were great with Tucker and kept me updated with photos throughout his stay!! I felt very comfortable that Tucker was well taken care of and will definitely use them again!”
“We love Rusty and are so thankful he was here for us so we could get away for our vacation. You can tell he really loves dogs and enjoys getting to know their personalities. It’s hard for me to find somebody I trust and I know can handle our large German Shepherds but Rusty is more then equipped. Thanks for being patient with our pups as they got used to being around other dogs and being away from home!”
“Kristen took great care of our 8 month old puppy while we were on vacation. It was his first stay away from us but she did everything to make him feel comfortable and he seemed to have a great time. Kristen kept in contact with us and sent pictures and updates everyday. We would definitely board with Kristen again in the future!”
“Karen is a wonderful sitter! Finn absolutely loved going. He has been there twice now and she is great about sending fun pictures and videos to know he was doing well. She is very responsive and overall had a great experience using her to watch Finn.”
“Megan was available last minute after having trouble getting a sitter. She kept us updated with pictures everyday. Our boy came back happy & tired. I will be using her again in the future! Thank you!”
“Pups had an AWESOME stay! I had daily updates on the boys including pictures. Will be using Johnathan again for any future booking needs! It was like a home away from home for the boys, way better than a kennel! Thanks so much!”
“my babies, Jaxon nine-year-old lab mix, Bree six year old Shepherd mix and Ziva three-year-old German Shepherd all stayed with Carrington for several days and they were so well treated!!! I received so many photos and videos and updates from Carrington. I felt very comfortable with my babies staying with her. I will be using Carrington for all of my boarding needs. xoxo”

“Abby and Dustin were such caring and obvious pet lovers from the very first interaction! They asked thoughtful questions and made sure they understood all of our dog’s needs and her routines. They updated me frequently with pictures of my dog having the best time! I felt totally confident in their ability to care for her and provide her with a safe and loving home away from home. We will definitely be back! It was an overall awesome experience, and I highly recommend them.”
“Amanda took great care of our dog and cat while we were away! Our dog has some anxiety when we leave but Amanda and her family made him feel comfortable very quickly. We will definitely be booking again!”
“Jen was amazing. We received timely updates and cute photos the whole time. Our pups looked like they were at summer camp, with big smiles and wagging tails! I can tell they felt loved by Jen and her kiddos. I highly recommend having Jen look after your pets because she and her family are true animal lovers and your pets will be happy.”
“Vanessa is by far the best pet sitter I’ve had the pleasure to meet. She is very attentive to your animal and can read them very well. She provided updates and pics throughout MYA’s stay which was really nice. I also had car problems and had to pick Mya up a few hours later than anticipated and she was so sweet about it. Her dog Henry is also really cute. Best in Greenville”
About: I bring 12 years of hands-on experience with a local dog rescue, including fostering, training, and caring for dogs of many breeds, ages, sizes, and personalities. We have fostered everything from young puppies to dogs over 100 pounds, so I’m comfortable adapting to each dog’s individual needs and routine. I’m also comfortable administering medications and providing extra care when needed. My experience has taught me to pay close attention to a dog’s behavior, body language, comfort level, and individual personality. Because I work full-time from home and don’t travel for work, I’m able to provide plenty of companionship, supervision, and attention throughout the day. Most importantly, I understand that every dog is different. I take the time to learn what makes your dog comfortable, happy, and feel at home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work full-time from home and don’t travel for work. Your dog will have plenty of companionship, attention, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away How I Care for Pets Our personal dog passed away a few years ago, and while we aren’t ready to get another dog just yet, we truly miss having one around. He was spoiled and treated like another member of the family, and that is the same warmth and care I provide to every dog I look after. I offer in-home boarding, house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking. Whether your dog stays with me or I care for them in their own home, I’ll follow their normal routine, provide plenty of attention and exercise, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.
About: I have an 11 year old rescued and very mellow plott hound dog. I have been watching friends dogs for over 5 years and have no issues with any type of dog in my past experiences. I work from home so I am able to take your dog to the bathroom and walks to unity park throughout the day. Your dog will be in good hands and it will be an enjoyable day for them I work from home and will have a relative easy way to drop off your pet. Your pet will go on at least 2 walks per day and go outside to the bathroom at least 3-4 times a day and more if needed. I have one dog and we will be in an apartment by ourselves. Have plenty of room for 1-2 additional dogs. I can communicate at mostly anytime of the day if any issues arise. Your pet will have a safe space inside and I do have an enclosed balcony if they would like to sunbathe.
“Lisa and her family took care of my dog with so much love and affection! I received consistent updates and pictures, and felt very comfortable leaving my dog in their home. I recommend Lisa to anyone needing an amazing sitter!”
