“I was very impressed with Kimi's management of her pet boarding structure & care. She puts an Air-tag on the pets she is watching to ensure their safety. She was also careful to introduce her pets one at a time to assure that each pet was able to interact with my dog safely. Lastly, she has a separate room for any animals that are boarding with her . This gives the pet(s) a place away from her pets if they are uncomfortable or need time to themselves . I had concerns that my dog may have difficulty boarding somewhere other than our home because this was only the third time in almost 10 years that she has been boarded. Her last experience was extremely unsuccessful, to say the least, when boarded at a local veterinary hospital. Kimi sent me pictures a couple times a day and was very open to letting me text her with any questions or concerns that I had. I was extremely pleased with the way my dog felt comfortable interacting and being around her two dogs and two cats. My dog is the soul pet in our household, so this was a new experience for her. I highly recommend Kimi to anyone who is looking for a pet caretaker. Ellen L.”
“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.”
“Ann is absolutely wonderful! Riggs was taken care of so well. I received pictures from Ann and texts to keep me updated throughout. From start to finish Ann was welcoming and it was quite obvious Riggs loves her and her family!”
“Sylvie was fantastic. She truly loved our dogs. I was sent pictures and she kept me informed of how they were doing. I could tell they were well taken care of when I picked them up, I would totally use her again!!”
“We have used Sean a few times now and he has alway taken good care of Charlie. He is also very good at communicating drop off/pick up and always sends us pictures of what Charlie is up to that is always appreciated during his visits. I would highly recommend Sean as your next sitter.”
“I highly recommend Debbie and Chris! What amazing, caring people. They sent texts, picture and even videos. I was concerned that my small dog would be afraid of their dogs, but she fit right in. Your pet will be safe with Debbie and Chris and well cared for.”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have experience caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities and needs! I’ve helped raise and train puppies, so I’m comfortable reinforcing routines and handling high-energy dogs. I also adopted an anxious rescue dog from a shelter and fostered 3 shelter dogs, which taught me a lot about patience, reading behavior, and helping dogs feel safe and comfortable in new environments. I’m dependable, attentive, and flexible with scheduling, and I understand how important it is to trust someone with your dog. I know every dog is different, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know what makes each one happy, whether that’s long walks, playtime, or just having someone calm and comforting around! I’ll care for your dog like they’re my own and make sure you feel updated and reassured while you’re away with plenty of photos and communication. My schedule is currently very flexible as a Clemson graduate and nursing assistant, which allows me to accommodate weekday and weekend bookings. I’m able to adjust my routine around pet care needs, including morning, midday, and evening visits or walks. I’m reliable with timing and will make sure your dog’s routine is followed consistently so they feel comfortable and cared for. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and trusting environment for every dog I care for. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walk preferences, and any special instructions. I’m attentive to behavior and comfort levels, especially for anxious dogs or pets adjusting to a new person. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of the space and make sure everything is left clean and secure. My goal is always to make your dog feel safe, understood, and cared for like they’re my own.
“We had a great experience with Landon and his daughter. Our dogs got along really well, and we received some cute pictures along the way. Will definitely bring Bear back again soon :)”

“Kathleen is truly amazing! She cares for your pets as if they were her own, showing so much attention, kindness, and genuine love. Leaving your pet is always stressful, but she made the whole experience so much easier by keeping me updated on my cat’s day. She’s incredibly thoughtful, and I can’t recommend her enough for anyone looking for exceptional care for their pets and peace of mind when you’re away from home.”

“Our dog Leo loved his short stay with Madison on Thanksgiving Day. Communication was great and she was wonderful with Leo. He had a great time and would definitely recommend Madison.”
About: I have had dogs since I was little and currently am mom to a 15-year-old Chihuahua named Charlie. She is a sweet little old lady who needs lots of attention and special care. And don’t worry, no matter how silly your requests may seem, I’m on board! Charlie once decided she would only eat if fed by hand, so, I’ve been there. :) I currently teach online so I am WFH with lots of flexibility for pet sitting and home visits. I live near Clemson University so it’s an easy stop if you are on your way to campus! I have a large fenced-in yard and an old lady Chihuahua who is mostly deaf and blind and sleeps all day, so she isn’t much of a playmate. However, with her refusal to take walks (by laying down on the ground until I carry her home), I am looking forward to having a walking buddy in the neighborhood!
“Communication was excellent. This was my first time using Rover for doggie daycare. There were multiple people on site who were helping care for the dogs during the day. My dog was able to play with other medium-sized dogs. She definitely got enough exercise, and she is a higher energy dog breed (Husky). They also sent me a picture of her playing with some other dogs. And, they have air conditioned space available indoors for hotter days. We had a good experience and I would recommend them!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life and I really love all animals. I have cared for many different breeds, including two deaf dogs and one 3-legged dog. I am patient, reliable, and I am comfortable with all disabilities and needs. I am quick to understand what makes your dog comfortable. I have also fostered dogs while in college and have had experience with many puppies. My goal is to make sure that your dog feels comfortable and well taken care of while you’re away. I am a college student, so I have classes Monday through Friday. I am available everyday after 2pm and most days I am available earlier. I have breaks in between classes, so I am flexible. I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment for pets. During drop-in visits, I ensure dogs receive regular exercise through walks and playtime, tailored to their energy levels and preferences. For weekend care, I create a routine that mirrors their home life, incorporating their favorite activities and ensuring they feel secure. My goal is to provide a loving, attentive experience that keeps your dog happy and relaxed.

“Justine and Roman were great! This was our first time leaving our 4 1/2 month old puppy Sage with anyone and we were a little worried about it.

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: Hello! I have taken care of many different types of animals, all shapes and sizes ever since I was 15 years old. I have taken care of cats, dogs, birds, reptiles, and fish! Whether it’s just one fur baby, or even up to six at a time, I can do it! I love animals and have a cat and four fish of my own—I have had a few dogs in the past as well!

Mondays and Wednesdays I am more busy in the morning time due to classes, however I can still do drop-ins before and after on those days as well! For my current pets I keep my fish in a 50 gallon tank since they are smaller, but love the space. For my cat, Squash, she stays in my main unit with me free to roam around and cuddle with me whenever she likes. I do not offer boarding services since my complex only allows a certain amount of pets at a time.

Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening feedings, I prioritize maintaining each pet’s normal routine. I make time every day for walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and lots of affection. I’m very mindful about not overbooking so that each pet gets the focused care and attention they deserve. Because animals have always been a big part of my life, caring for them doesn’t feel like an extra task — it’s something I genuinely enjoy and plan my week around.

I’d love to chat and see if I’m able to make it work for you. I currently am not able to host in home boarding due to being in an apartment at this time and not having the adequate space and yard.

“I was very impressed with Kimi's management of her pet boarding structure & care. She puts an Air-tag on the pets she is watching to ensure their safety. She was also careful to introduce her pets one at a time to assure that each pet was able to interact with my dog safely. Lastly, she has a separate room for any animals that are boarding with her . This gives the pet(s) a place away from her pets if they are uncomfortable or need time to themselves . I had concerns that my dog may have difficulty boarding somewhere other than our home because this was only the third time in almost 10 years that she has been boarded. Her last experience was extremely unsuccessful, to say the least, when boarded at a local veterinary hospital. Kimi sent me pictures a couple times a day and was very open to letting me text her with any questions or concerns that I had. I was extremely pleased with the way my dog felt comfortable interacting and being around her two dogs and two cats. My dog is the soul pet in our household, so this was a new experience for her. I highly recommend Kimi to anyone who is looking for a pet caretaker. Ellen L.”
“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.”
“Ann is absolutely wonderful! Riggs was taken care of so well. I received pictures from Ann and texts to keep me updated throughout. From start to finish Ann was welcoming and it was quite obvious Riggs loves her and her family!”
“Sylvie was fantastic. She truly loved our dogs. I was sent pictures and she kept me informed of how they were doing. I could tell they were well taken care of when I picked them up, I would totally use her again!!”
“We have used Sean a few times now and he has alway taken good care of Charlie. He is also very good at communicating drop off/pick up and always sends us pictures of what Charlie is up to that is always appreciated during his visits. I would highly recommend Sean as your next sitter.”
“I highly recommend Debbie and Chris! What amazing, caring people. They sent texts, picture and even videos. I was concerned that my small dog would be afraid of their dogs, but she fit right in. Your pet will be safe with Debbie and Chris and well cared for.”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have experience caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities and needs! I’ve helped raise and train puppies, so I’m comfortable reinforcing routines and handling high-energy dogs. I also adopted an anxious rescue dog from a shelter and fostered 3 shelter dogs, which taught me a lot about patience, reading behavior, and helping dogs feel safe and comfortable in new environments. I’m dependable, attentive, and flexible with scheduling, and I understand how important it is to trust someone with your dog. I know every dog is different, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know what makes each one happy, whether that’s long walks, playtime, or just having someone calm and comforting around! I’ll care for your dog like they’re my own and make sure you feel updated and reassured while you’re away with plenty of photos and communication. My schedule is currently very flexible as a Clemson graduate and nursing assistant, which allows me to accommodate weekday and weekend bookings. I’m able to adjust my routine around pet care needs, including morning, midday, and evening visits or walks. I’m reliable with timing and will make sure your dog’s routine is followed consistently so they feel comfortable and cared for. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and trusting environment for every dog I care for. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walk preferences, and any special instructions. I’m attentive to behavior and comfort levels, especially for anxious dogs or pets adjusting to a new person. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of the space and make sure everything is left clean and secure. My goal is always to make your dog feel safe, understood, and cared for like they’re my own.
“We had a great experience with Landon and his daughter. Our dogs got along really well, and we received some cute pictures along the way. Will definitely bring Bear back again soon :)”
About: I grew up on a farm caring for all types of animals. I’ve always had to make sure all of them were feed and water. I’ve dog sit for family friends before while they went out of town and i had to go to their house and feed, water them, take them out to play and use the bathroom, gave them baths if they need them. I took care and dog sit all kinds of animals and sizes, from puppies to older dogs, and even cats too, all up to farm animals. I’m a stay at home mom to a 2 year old. I have a 3 year old male dog that’s unaltered. I’m available anytime to dog sit or board. I have a house with a nice little yard for your fur babies to run and play! I’m always going outside every 2-3 hours almost to walk my dog. Of course I will walk your dog first because I know my dog can hold it until afterwards
“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.”
“My two dogs loved it, they had plenty of space to roam & play fetch. They were so excited to see us, as if to say “we had a great time”. Such a great location, 2 fenced acres to run & play! Pepper sent pictures & video, great comfort. We were traveling to Greenville for a conference & had no idea what to expect. Very happy.”
“Brianna was absolutely amazing with our cat Toby. We got several updates, and felt at ease knowing he was in good hands. She even gave him a goody bag for his stay! So sweet and will definitely book her again!”
About: I have grown up in a house of pets from hamsters to fish to dogs and cats! I love them all. I have volunteered, worked, and fostered for shelters. I currently have a dog and cat of my own. I have also lived on a mini-farm and assisted with their ducks, turkey, and tortoise! I work the basic 8 hour shifts 5 days out of the week but never at inconvenient times. Since I am able to care for my own with ample time, I can do it for someone else in need. I love to give attention! All pets deserve to feel appreciated. I enjoy spending individual time with animals, make sure their needs are met, they are comfortable, and they understand I am here for THEM.
About: I am a compassionate warm hearted person. I have always adored animals and look forward to spending time with new ones. Animals are a huge part of my life and I would love to help others feel safe knowing that a true animal lover is watching over their pet. I have been away from my pet and understand the anxiety that comes from worrying about them. It brings me joy to allow you to enjoy your time away from home without worrying about that family member you left behind I have taken care of my own animals since I was a child. I have watched many of my friends animals. I will respect our arrangement, your home (if I'm taking care of your pet at your resident), and above all I will respect your pet. Why I love dog sitting I have always had a love for dogs. I have owned dogs since I was a child and have always took care of them. I have watched many friends and neighbors dogs while they were away. I look forward to watching your dog. My experience administering medication I am comfortable administering medication given the proper instructions.
