Our puppy is only 3 months old, we where supper nervous in leaving her, but Laura did and amazing job.

They are very communicative and send pictures and videos to ease your mind, even without asking! ;) they clearly love dogs and they have a wonderful home to host your pup in. Rest assured your baby will be spoiled.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Chelsea and Fernando! They were incredibly caring, reliable, and conscientious about keeping our dog on her normal routine. They paid close attention to her feeding schedule, walks, and daily habits, helping her feel comfortable and at home while we were away. Communication was also excellent. We received regular updates and photos, and they were always quick to respond to any questions or messages. It was clear that they genuinely cared about our dog and wanted to make sure she was happy and well cared for. We would absolutely recommend them and will definitely use them again!”

My dogs got along well with his sweet dog as well. We definitely hope to use his services again!”

About: I’ve had pets since I could remember and they’ve always been a special part of my life. Being able to care for your pets, just as attentively as I do my own, would bring me so much joy. I’ve cared for many family and friend’s pets so much so, that I would love to start professionally pet sitting. I currently work an 8-5 job 4 days out of the week but have plenty of time before and after work to feed, take to the potty, and love on your pets. My weekends are very open and I can spend more time playing with your pet as well. I have experience in cleaning up accidents, walking, feeding, administering oral medications just like I do for my own animals. I am capable of leaving your home secure and intact while you are away. I’m sure I can responsibly handle anything that comes my way.
“Christine was very nice to watch our cat so last minute due to an urgent family matter we had to travel out of state for. She followed the directions & showed up when she needed to. Thank you!”
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!”
“Sarah did an amazing job in caring for our two cats during two separate trips—one for a week and another for two weeks. Her daily messages and photos kept us well informed. We’re thrilled with the care she provided and would happily work with her again!”
“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!”
About: Hi! I’ve loved, owned, and cared for dogs almost my whole life. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. Pets are truly family, and I provide exceptional care for your four-legged baby. I am a full-time teacher who works 7-3 Monday through Fridays. I am available evenings and weekends day and night to pet sit or dog walk. Pets are family! I strive to provide exceptional care to keep your pet safe, happy, and comfortable. I am happy to work with your pet’s individual needs to ensure an excellent experience.
“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.”
“Ksenia came to my home and helped me feed my cats, fishes and parrot. Rover doesn’t offer bird care services, but she spent time with my bird, Tango. She was great! I’m very grateful to her. She followed all our instructions.”
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!
“Stacie took such good care of my older kitty! She handled her medication, kept her food and water refreshed, and gave her lots of attention! I loved the daily updates and pictures! Already booking her again ?”
“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: 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.
“We are so glad we chose Ashtan to take care of our cat while we were away! It was the first time leaving him and I worried a lot. We are back now and cat looks happy, well fed and overall very well cared for. Thank you very much, Ashtan!”
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: 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: 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.

“I was nervous to leave my puppy with a sitter for the first time but Aneisy and her family were great! My pup came home happy and clearly well taken care of. And Aneisy made me feel at ease and communicated very well. I will happily book again in the near future.”
About: I have 8 years' experience dog sitting for others, and over 10 years' of personal experience caring for my own dogs. Currently, I have a 3yo Bernedoodle named Margot and 5mo Australian Shepherd/Plott mix named Mack. I’ve cared for dogs that are mini-extra large in size and various breeds. In my free time I ride horses and like to stay active! I work fully remote which allows me to accommodate your pets needs! My dogs are extremely friendly which allows me to open my home to other friendly pups for boarding or daycare. I have experience pet sitting and walking dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds. I care for pets as if they’re my own! Lots of snuggles, snacks (if allowed), and play time. For walks I ensure we take safe routes and follow pet parents instructions.
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.

“We were in town for ball tournament and needed a day care. Bethany and her family took such good care of Charlie.and she had so much fun there! Bethany was a pleasure to work with and we felt at ease leaving her. We highly recommend her to take care if your pet.”
About: My name is Manuela (Ela for short). I have experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, and I truly love what I do. I treat every dog like one of my own, making sure they are safe, happy, and comfortable while in my care. I live with my mom and sister, and we all love dogs and helping care for them. Because we want every dog to get plenty of attention and a calm environment, we only board one dog at a time (we may be able to do 2+ but only from the same household. Text me to discuss it) I work at the county animal shelter four days a week, so I have experience handling dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m comfortable working with shy, energetic, or nervous dogs, and I also have experience giving medications when needed. On the days I am not home, my mom or sister are usually at the house helping care for the dog. If there is ever a time when no one is home, the dog will be safely crated. At night, dogs can stay in my room with me, or if they are crate trained we will continue the routine and training they already follow at home. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they are away from you. We do our best to keep their routine as close as possible to what they are used to at home. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine. I’m happy to coordinate with you and adjust my schedule when possible to make sure your pet gets the care they need. On the four days I work during the week, my mom or sister will be home to care for the pets, so there’s always someone available. Just reach out and let’s chat, I’ll do my best to make it work! I offer safe, reliable, and affectionate care that’s tailored to your dog’s routine, because I know how important it is to find someone who treats your pets like family. I’m here to support you and your pet’s unique needs.
“Cristina was able to accommodate us last minute to keep our doggie for the day. I got lots and lots of pictures as always and her family took such great care of LouLou for the day. Thank you Cristina.”
About: I absolutely love dogs and have been around them since childhood. I grew up with a German Shepherd, and ever since then I’ve had a special connection with animals. They seem to trust me naturally, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. Caring for dogs isn’t just a job to me - it’s something I truly love. I have a flexible schedule and will do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs. I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, potty breaks, and pet sitting throughout the week. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I’ll always arrive on time and provide the care and attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and respect, just as if they were my own. I’ll carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and any special needs. I make sure pets are secure, comfortable, and never left unattended in unsafe situations. I believe building trust with both pets and their owners is the foundation of great pet care.
“My pups had a great time at Rebecca’s. Very secure home and back yard. I felt very comfortable leaving my pups in her care and they came home exhausted. Her two dogs are great and everyone got along just fine. Will certainly be booking again!”

Times of pick up will depend on need. Most pick up will be by 7:30 am. I have a small dog at home for friend time. Fenced yard for play time , sun bathing and a create for small dogs if needed.
About: I have experience with taking care of all dogs, medical needs, young at hearts and old souls alike. I have two large dogs, Charlie (11) and Georgina (1). Theyhave different personalities, but are both giant loves. I have been a foster for dogs for quite some time and have learned about varying needs with dogs. 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. Georgina is a 1 yr old pointer mix. She loves to have a friend to play with but is also respectful when another dog is not interested.

“Sarah is an excellent communicator and is great with our puppy. She is trustworthy, on time, and takes the time to play our puppy. She gave details about how each walk went and sent pictures too! Sarah is fantastic and highly recommended.”
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: 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.

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: 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.

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: 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: 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!
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.
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.

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: 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.

Her home is welcoming and Biscotti really enjoyed playing with their sweet lab and snuggling her kids. We could tell Biscotti was well-cared for when we brought her back home- she was calm and happy and jumped right back into our family routines- like she had a great vacation too! Thanks, Andre and fam! We’ll definitely book with Andre again.”
“Bethany kept our GSP for a full week while we were on vacation. I can’t say enough good things about her. Gunner played in a kiddie pool and sprinkler, went on walks and took naps on the couch. In the many pictures she sent, it looked like he was just part of the family. So thankful to have found Bethany! We highly recommend her!”
“I was worried about leaving my dogs for the first time with someone else for an entire week while we were on vacation... that is until the morning I met Kristen and then I immediately felt at ease. She sent pictures of my fur babies every day and was fast at responding. We were extremely satisfied with Kristen. I highly recommend her and definitely plan on asking her to watch them in the future.”
