“Included pictures of the pooch and very communicative during their stay, even though it was the holidays. Appreciated how well they could accommodate my schedule.”
“I always feel so comfortable leaving my dog when I go out of town. Jared takes wonderful care of her and always send lots of pictures so I see how happy she is while staying with Jared.”
“Veronica and her husband did an amazing job with Cooper we really loved the pictures that came daily. It was his first time being away so we were nervous and I didn't feel comfortable with the kennels so this gave him the freedom to run and staying in a house like he was use to and gave me much better piece of mind.”
“So kind and patient—I’d never left my dog with a sitter before and was very nervous, but I could tell right away that Peep was in good hands with Laura. She and her family were the right fit for Peep—I could tell that he was sad to leave them when I picked him up. ;)”
“Angela was fabulous, and someone I’m genuinely glad my family met! She took great care of S’mores & sent pictures and videos. When we picked up our dog, my daughter said that you could tell our S’mores was ready to see us but also sad to leave. Angela was kind to my children too. She went above and beyond. We would definitely ask her to keep S’mores 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.”
“Cristina took wonderful loving care of my boy. All my requests were obliged. Angus clearly adored her. I plan on asking her to dog sit in the future. She sent me lots of pictures which helped put my mind at ease. I usually board him at the vet and he doesn’t get the level of care he got with Cristina. Many thanks!”
“Nikki and Dave have been wonderful sitters for my toy poodle. I could not have asked for better sitters for my little (spoiled) princess. I highly recommend them and will definitely have them sit for my pup again if I need to.”
“Dorothy was wonderful with our dog, Mindy. I will be using her again. If you are unsure, I can assure you your dog will be treated like family when he/ she stays at Dorothy’s. Wish I could rate her 10/10.”
“Matthew and Heidi are great. We had some anxiety about leaving our dog with someone new for our long 16-day trip. They answered all our concerns and questions. Their house has a fenced backyard, and our pup enjoyed playing with their daughter. We will definitely use them for future trips.”
“If I could give 100 stars, I would! Rebecca and Stan sent several photos and videos of my dog during her stay to keep me updated on her. Their home is set up perfectly with a fenced-in yard, and gates so the pups can't run out the door or yard. They are the best and I will use them again!”
“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!”
“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!!”
“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.”
“Madison and her family were AMAZING!!! She was very responsive during the whole process. She sent 2-3 updates a day with pictures AND videos. I’ll definitely be using her for future bookings! Penny can’t wait to visit again!!! 💗🐾”
“Wendy and her family took amazing care of our little dog. She was very organized and responded quickly to my booking request and text messages. It’s so nice to go on vacation and know that your pet is well and happy.”
“Garrett and his wife did a wonderful job taking care of our girls this weekend! He sent plenty of updates. We didn’t pack quite enough food for their last morning, so he offered to give them a little bit of his dogs food and waited for our response before giving it to them, which we really appreciated! They both definitely had a ton of fun playing! They’ve both been sleeping since we got home. Highly recommend!!!”

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!
“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’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.
“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.”
“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 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: Hiiii! I’m a proud animal lover with hands-on experience working in an animal hospital. I’m around animals every day, caring for them and making sure they’re safe, healthy, and happy..and I’d love to extend that same care to your pets! Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I’ll treat your fur baby like family. Reliable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about animals, you can count on me to keep your pet loved and well-looked after while you’re away. Can’t wait to meet your fur babies! (Message me for more details about my availability..it won’t let me specify) 🥰 I’m currently a full-time student online so I’m very flexible! This allows me to do extended stays and if you need additional time away as long as I don’t have another booking, I can always extend my services! So I offer drop ins, house sit, and do overnights.. very attentive, willing to take them to dog parks, hikes, walking around the neighborhood.. you name it!
“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!”
“We have used Ksenia twice and have thoroughly enjoyed our experience with her! She has taken such great care of our little one. We will use her again in the future and highly recommend her!”
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’ve cared for animals all my life. From pet sitting to dog walking to administering medicine, I have the experience to care for your fur baby. I am currently taking a gap year and during this time I’m working on building my skills within animal care. I am busy during weekdays from 7AM-9AM as well as 1:20PM-2:50PM. But my schedule is flexible beyond those times. I can care for your pet in your home if you give me a list/instructions for each day I’m there. I will care and give your pet all the attention it needs and I can even offer potential training services if it lies within my expertise.
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: Combining my expertise as a dog sitter and devoted pet owner, I ensure the well-being of animals under my care while their humans are away. I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. I give the same love, attention and energy to them as I would my own. I have spent years fostering for my local shelter and rescues both local and aboard. I have had to give medicine and take care of dogs that were heartworm positive and had to endure treatment before leaving for their rescue. I have also helped organize ways to raise funds for dog that needed medical care in the shelter. I have beautiful furbabies of my own, and pride myself in giving the same standard of care I would expect. I show up on time, I never allow anyone in the home other than me during my sit. I have a pretty flexible and open availability. This allows me to remain in your home with your pet the entire duration of the stay. As the owner of four furry friends, I prioritize their daily walks on their favorite leashes. They enjoy exploring our property with its multiple ponds while being safely secured in case an unexpected critter, or any other danger appears.

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.
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.
“Jared and his wife do a magnificent job with our lab. They send lots of pictures and are in touch as needed. My dog gets a lot of attention when she visits, and she loves to go there. They are the best!”
“Trusted them with our dogs immediately. We didn't have to worry while we were out because we received picture texts and updates. We will most definitely be using Veronica andher husband again in the near future!”
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. You can follow my pet sitting service on instagram We post schedule updates and past furry clients. 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.
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.
“They have been taking care of my rocky the great dane since he was around 8 weeks old and I will continue to use them! Rocky is always so excited to go back and he has so many friends every time he goes. They have been super flexible with my schedule and they love rocky as his own. Thanks guys.”

“Jonathan was very accommodating for a last minute request. This was our first experience with Rover and would recommend to anyone needing help with finding care for their pet. Jonathan had great communication and would use him in the future.”
“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!”
“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!”
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.
“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 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.

I also ask that they be bathed before their stay.
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!

“Dorothy & Thomas took care of our 3 cavaliers and it went well. Our pups enjoyed their space outside with the large fenced in backyard and also enjoyed hanging out with their dog Pepper. Pepper was friendly and sweet with our little ones. Thank you!”
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: 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.

“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: 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 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've had pets and animals since I have been 6 years old. Friends and family all rely on me to take care of their pets! I begin my pet care duties when I get up and start my day and continue my duties throughout the day until they are complete. Well, depending on the kind of animal I am caring for, I will tend to the basic necessities of that animal. Furthermore, I will love the cat/dog/etc like it is my own.
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 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.
About: My husband and I are empty nesters with lots of love and attention to give. We have been traveling a lot so have been on break from Rover but back for the next 6 months or so! I work from home and my husband is retired so we are both available to care for and love on your sweet baby! We love animals but don’t want the full time commitment at this stage in our lives We own our home and have a great yard. It’s not fenced in but are in a quiet neighborhood and go for many walks around the neighborhood. With my husband retire and I work from home we can give fulltime love and attention to your 4 legged baby! We look forward to meeting you! Most dogs are given free range of the house although some exceptions may apply. We talk walks every 3-4 hours and always have fresh water available.
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 lived on a farm growing up, taking care of all types of animals. I have a genuine love & care for them. Assuring your pets will get the best care. Also, I worked in a K-9 unit for 2 years. I am reliable & respectful of you & your pet needs. I am currently taking a break from work at the moment & pursuing my bachelors degree online. I can fit pet care in at anytime on any day. Everyone cares for their pets differently, that’s no surprise. My job is to listen to what you want for your pets. If I’m not already outside play or walking pets, I like to take them out every hour. I treat them like royalty & I will treat your pets the same.
“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: I’ve always had dogs and cats... My #1 goal is living in the country and having lots! I currently live in fountain inn & have one dog, so we’re getting there 😉😊 We go on lots of walks as my street is a one way in/one way out. I do not live on a busy road, and the houses are spaced out a bit in my neighborhood compared to newer construction. My land is used for lots of ball chasing & zoomies. I’m a RN of 20+ years, mother to 3, and a floral preservation artist. I recently resigned from my RN role, and stepped away from the medical field following my mother’s passing, I’ve been working on an Etsy shop, and spending the summer with my boys. Pet sitting fits into my routine as a stay at home mom/artist. Any potential RN roles in the future would be remote. My house is located on a golf course and includes one acre of land. A portion of that land is fenced directly behind my home and another portion is wide open space. We have an older dog named Esme. She is a female and spayed/microchipped. She’s a mix that came from the Humane Society in Greenville and truly the best dog I’ve ever had. She is indoor/outdoor and does not require a lead. Any guest would be able to follow her same schedule, which is to go in and out Very regularly whether on a lead or in the back fenced yard. I have plenty of space in my home if your dog is crated at night, and I also allow Esme (& yours if approved) to be on the couches in the living room. I keep them covered with regularly laundered throws Washed twice weekly and as needed.

“I always feel so comfortable leaving my dog when I go out of town. Jared takes wonderful care of her and always send lots of pictures so I see how happy she is while staying with Jared.”
“Veronica and her husband did an amazing job with Cooper we really loved the pictures that came daily. It was his first time being away so we were nervous and I didn't feel comfortable with the kennels so this gave him the freedom to run and staying in a house like he was use to and gave me much better piece of mind.”
“So kind and patient—I’d never left my dog with a sitter before and was very nervous, but I could tell right away that Peep was in good hands with Laura. She and her family were the right fit for Peep—I could tell that he was sad to leave them when I picked him up. ;)”
“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.”
“Dorothy was wonderful with our dog, Mindy. I will be using her again. If you are unsure, I can assure you your dog will be treated like family when he/ she stays at Dorothy’s. Wish I could rate her 10/10.”
“Matthew and Heidi are great. We had some anxiety about leaving our dog with someone new for our long 16-day trip. They answered all our concerns and questions. Their house has a fenced backyard, and our pup enjoyed playing with their daughter. We will definitely use them for future trips.”
“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!!”
“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.”
“Garrett and his wife did a wonderful job taking care of our girls this weekend! He sent plenty of updates. We didn’t pack quite enough food for their last morning, so he offered to give them a little bit of his dogs food and waited for our response before giving it to them, which we really appreciated! They both definitely had a ton of fun playing! They’ve both been sleeping since we got home. Highly recommend!!!”
“Ben was a wonderful dog sitter! My dog is pretty shy around new people and he was very accommodating and made my dog feel safe and comfortable. Ben sent me cute pictures of my dog having a good time during the stay.”
“My sweet girls were immediately welcomed into the family and appeared to have enjoyed their weekend vacation. We left for our weekend vacation completely satisfied and relieved knowing that our girls were going to receive excellent care. Mason will definitely be on top of our list for our next out of town trip. Once again, thank you Mason, Max and Family.”
“We were so impressed with Kristen’s kindness and care for our golden. He’s still a puppy and it was the first time we’d gone out of town without him. He seemed like he had such a good time, and the checkins she gave us helped us feel so at ease while we were gone!”
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.
“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!”
“We are glad that we entrusted our dog to Megan.Thank you for your concern and kindness.We will be happy to use Megan's services in the future and recommend them to our friends.”
