“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.”
“Angela and Rick went above and beyond in caring for our little Bean. They are an incredibly kind and genuinely sweet couple. We truly appreciated the regular updates and adorable photos they sent us throughout Bean’s stay. We wouldn’t trust anyone else with Mr. Bean—Angela and Rick will always be our first choice! I can’t recommend them highly enough. Thank you for loving our baby as much as we do!”

“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!”
“Madison did an excellent job taking care of my dog! She sent me pictures throughout his stay, which gave me peace of mind, and he looked so happy and comfortable with her. I really appreciate the wonderful care she gave him and would absolutely recommend her!”
About: I have been a dog owner my entire life, and caring for dogs has always been a big part of my family. I currently have a dog of my own and understand firsthand how important it is to know that your pup is safe, comfortable, and loved when you can’t be with them. I have experience boarding my own dogs, so I understand what helps dogs feel happy and at ease while they’re away from their families. I know that every dog is different, and I take the time to learn their routines, personalities, and individual needs. My experience includes providing daily care and attention, administering medications, bathing and basic grooming, and making sure dogs are comfortable, happy, and well cared for throughout their stay. When your dog stays with me, my goal is for them to feel like they’re staying with family, not just being boarded. I'll give them plenty of love, attention, and care while keeping them safe and comfortable in my home. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I work from home, which means there is almost always someone here to give your dog attention and care throughout the day. Our days naturally include regular potty breaks, meals, playtime, walks, cuddles, and plenty of companionship. I am able to keep a close eye on the dogs staying with me and give them the individual attention they need, rather than leaving them alone for long stretches of time. I understand that dogs thrive on routine, so I do my best to maintain their normal feeding, medication, exercise, and rest schedules while they are with me. I also make time for plenty of love and one-on-one attention throughout the day. Because pet care is part of my everyday life, I am excited to welcome dogs into my home and make caring for them a natural part of my routine. My goal is for every pup to feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while they are staying with me. I want every dog who stays with me to feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I have a fully fenced-in yard where pups can enjoy outdoor time, play, and potty breaks in a secure environment. Inside my home, I believe dogs should be able to relax in whatever way makes them most comfortable. My couches are welcome to dogs who enjoy lounging and being close to people, and I provide crates for dogs who are crate trained and feel most secure having their own familiar space. I also have a separate room available for dogs who need some quiet time or prefer to have a break from the activity of the household. I understand that some dogs love being in the middle of everything, while others need a little space to decompress, and I am happy to accommodate both. Most importantly, I take the time to get to know each dog's personality, routine, and individual needs. Whether your pup wants to play in the yard, curl up on the couch, relax in their crate, or have some peaceful alone time, I will do my best to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable throughout their stay.
About: I have been taking care of pets for our entire lives. i have experience with dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes (as well as reptiles, fish, and plants!). i have been pet-sitting for colleagues and friends for a while now as well as caring for three cats at home. i have previously cared for cats and dogs of all ages, including animals with special needs and medication schedules. I have a fairly flexible schedule at my day job, and will coordinate around your schedule to make sure I can meet every pet's needs. I would prefer to care for pets in your home, as they're likely to be more comfortable that way (and my cats will too). However, I can make exceptions in special cases. I do prefer to have an initial meet and greet with pets and people to make sure everyone's comfortable. For house-sitting, I goal is to make sure your pet(s) are as comfortable as possible, so I will schedule my workday to be there with them as often as possible.
“Sydney and her partner did an amazing job with Anansi!!! Right from the meet and greet I could tell Anansi was comfortable and felt at home. Sydney makes sure to stay in frequent contact and I got a bunch of great pictures and videos of Anansi. Their dog Miso is very sweet and the two dogs got along really well. 10/10 service and will book again when the need comes up! Thank you!”
About: I like getting to know a dog/cat and learning from their personalities. I enjoy walking dogs and playing with them to help get their energy out. My work schedule is demanding but I always make time to see that pets are enjoying the best quality of life that I can provide. My main hobbies revolve around my pet's needs. I provide entertainment for my pets when I'm not at home, whether that means snacks, extra toys, or music. Once I'm back home, my first priority is taking care of my pets.
“Summer was great -- so reliable and responsive! We were visiting relatives for a football game at Clemson and we had our dog in tow. Summer watched our dog for the whole afternoon and was very understanding about the late evening pick up, given how long night football games can go. Summer sent photos and took great care of our guy, and he seemed really comfortable with her. Definitely would recommend her!”
“Jeff was a great sitter! He responded quickly and was flexible on drop-off/pick-up. He took Leila to the dog park a few times during her stay, she came home exhausted! Would definitely book with Jeff again + recommend to a friend.”
About: I’ve loved animals ever since i was young. From giving puppies baths to taking them on walks, animals have always been a huge part of my life.. and i would love to take care of yours<3 I’m currently at home all week… i have extra time on my hands and would love to spend it with animals and that could be your dog or cat!

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.
“Zoe did a great job looking after Lew while I was out of town! She kept me updated and sent lots of pictures! She even gave me a report card of Lew’s behavior during his stay. I will definitely rebook with Zoe again!”
“We loved Christina so much. She was very communicative, prompt with responses and was just so nice. Our little guy was happy and healthy when he came home. We definitely will book again and highly recommend her services.”
About: I have been around dogs for as long as I can remember, and have been dog-sitting for the past 4 years! I also have some experience with cat-sitting. I have a mini goldendoodle named Cody that I trained with my sister. I go to Clemson University, and we have a golden doodle living with us at our house!! We let her out every morning and I am home by 2pm every day to hang out with her! We have a fenced in yard. My dog sleeps in bed with me, which is fine if that’s how your dog sleeps best, but I will also be happy to crate your dog at my home or your home! I am very flexible and want to make sure I follow your regular routine as best as I can!
“What a great experience our first time using Rover! We were nervous about leaving our dog for a week but Beth made the process easy and efficient. She kept us updated on Coco’s transition and adjustment throughout the week, which was so helpful and reassuring. From drop off to pick up, I knew my dog was cared for. Highly recommend Beth’s services!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Starr
“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.”
“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: I have taking care of my aunts dog when she was out of town.

I’m also flexible to sit in your home I can keep them in a kennel if u so choose or I can have them stay out and roam in the house I make sure they eat on a timely schedule
“Veronica and her husband did a great job taking care of Pickles. They were willing to do a meet and greet with me before I booked to make sure our pets would mesh. My dog is usually timid with new dogs, but that was not the case here. She fit right in immediately. They send me lots of pictures, keep me updated, and my dog comes home happy and exhausted!”
“Two great big thumbs up to Jordan and Steve. I highly recommend them for taking care of your loved fur babies. They communicate well, are caring, attentive to special needs, and promote health and happiness for pets. I will definitely be using them again (& again) in the future.”
“Zoe was great with Sage! She kept me updated throughout the day and sent several pictures. Sage had a good time. She went on walks and she played with the other dogs and the cat. We will definitely use Zoe again in the future”
About: I got my dog when I was 13 and she was the best thing that happened to me. She was the most loving and caring dog I ever met but lost her to a serious illness and I just love to give out my heart to animals and would love to spend some time with your animals. I am a stay at home mom and the moment. Son is five and in kindergarten and he loves animals just as much as I do but because I’m not completely over losing my dog I haven’t been able to get him a dog for himself. I’m home and have a dog park right now the road from me so keeping dogs a breeze. I always have an eye on the animals. Never feed food other then the kind given. Nothing in the rooms that they would stay in that could hurt them.
About: I have been caring for dogs for over 10 years and absolutely love animals of all kinds! Since I was around 11 years old, neighbors, friends, and families in my community have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets. I truly love spending time with dogs whether that means going on walks, playing outside, sticking to their routines, or just relaxing and cuddling with them. I am very dependable, patient, and attentive to each dog’s personality and needs. As a full time Clemson MBA student taking online classes this summer, I also have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets lots of attention and care! I am currently a full time MBA student at Clemson taking only a few online classes this summer, which gives me a very flexible schedule for pet care! I am available during weekdays, weekends, mornings, afternoons, evenings, and overnights depending on your needs. Because my schedule is flexible, I am able to give pets lots of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I love staying active with dogs and making sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while their owners are away. Creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for pets is very important to me. If pets stay in my home, I live in a great neighborhood for walks and outdoor time, and I always make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and sticking to their normal routines as much as possible. I am also completely comfortable staying overnight in a client’s home if that is preferred for your pet’s comfort and consistency. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, and I always treat every animal like they are my own with lots of attention, patience, affection, and care!!

About: I had multiple dogs all of my life and have taken care of horses and barn cats. Love all animals and want to make sure that they are doing amazing while you are away. I have pet sitted on and off over the years for friends and even flew to Las Vegas to petsit for an extended weekend. I’m currently working full time but can do late night drop ins, walks and am available any time on the weekends. Typically on the weekends I am free/flexible for any time, except the few times I’m out of town. Before letting pets out in fenced areas I double check gates are closed and latched before letting out. For any pets that are walked I ensure that they are leashed before heading out the door and do not take the leash off until inside with the door closed. I have an escape artist of myself at home so I know what to look for. I can easily place your pet in a crate before leaving if that is necessary.

I currently live with three sweetie pie pups, a 9 and 6 year old golden retrievers, Deal and Bear and a 7 year old mixed rescue named Carly. I am available to come to your home and walk, run, feed, water, cuddle, and play with your animal(s). Your pets will love me and I will love them back. I am currently working from my home, so I have plenty of availability for whatever and whenever you need someone to help out with your home and pets. I will keep a watchful eye out for your animals and send frequent photos and updates to you while your babies are under my care.

About: *Please read profile to see if we will be a good fit* My name is Sara! I'm a dog enthusiast with 20 years experience training, exercising, and caring for dogs. I graduated from Penn Foster Career School's Dog Training Program. I love to help people fulfill their dogs needs! I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I work with dogs full time so I'm able to fulfill their daily needs with ease. We walk every day but also go on adventures to the park and lake. I'm Pet CPR and First Aid Trained.

Someone is almost always home with the dogs. I also have a Furbo video camera to monitor dogs if I do need to leave for a short time. ***Due to having 2-3 dogs staying with me at times, I only offer meet & greets, pick up, and drop off from my clients homes or curbside drop off anf pick up at my house in my designated "dog lovers only" parking spot. I find this keeps the excitement and stress level down for all dogs staying. If you want to see the accommodations, I can do a video tour with you. I also post videos and pics to my social media so you can see what your dog is up to during there stay.***
“Amazing! That's one word to sum up Kristi's visits with my sweet beagle/ lab mix. She was on time, followed through with my instructions, and very attentive to my fur baby.

“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.”
“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!”
“Madison did an excellent job taking care of my dog! She sent me pictures throughout his stay, which gave me peace of mind, and he looked so happy and comfortable with her. I really appreciate the wonderful care she gave him and would absolutely recommend her!”
“Tara was great with Trapper. She was super flexible and easy to work with and sent several pics so we knew he was having fun and being well taken care of. We weren’t sure if he’d be ok playing with her dogs, but they were super sweet and immediately accepted him as part of the group. He had a blast while we were away.”
“This was the first time we ever left Ziva with a sitter. She usually travels with us but we had a trip planned that we could not take her with us. We were very pleased with Justine & Roman upon meeting them and introducing them to our pup. Ziva seemed well taken care of and they told us they really enjoyed having her. We will definitely consider them when the need for her to be boarded again.”
“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.”
“I don't often take the time to submit reviews but feel compelled to do so for Lisa. This was our first time boarding with Lisa and the care given to Roxy was over the top. The frequent videos and pics we received by text confirmed that Roxy had a great time. Roxy is still a puppy and hasn't been around other dogs that much. Lisa paired Roxy with Wimbleton, another young dog, and Roxy's social skills advanced dramatically as a result. Roxy returned to us showing zero signs of stress. I would not hesitate to have Roxy visit Lisa again. Lisa's husband was also great. Definitely a friend to Roxy!”
