“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 my girl stayed away from home and with someone that was not family! I am very happy with my experience. Would recommend to others and use again myself! Communication superb!”
“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.”
“We were extremely pleased with Kimi taking care of our dog. We appreciated the regular updates she gave us along with pictures. We also appreciated her willingness to work with us when the stay needed to be extended. We would definitely recommend her!”
“Ann is one of the nicest Rover sitters we have ever used. Our senior dog has some anxiety, and Ann was so wonderful, and patient, with him. She reached out with updates and questions to ensure she was able to do all she could to make him comfortable and feel more at home with her and her family. We are grateful for all of her help and support and highly recommend Ann.”
“Angela and Rick truly loved on our Harley. They welcomed Harley into their home as if she was family. Even allowed her on their furniture. They took and sent daily pictures of Harley making herself at home. It was awsome not having to worry about Harley. Harley definitely made new friends. I would highly recommend Angela and Rick to care for your fur babies. We will be booking with them again! Thank you Rover.com for connecting us to Angela and Rick!!!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life! Growing up with my grandparents, we’ve had 5 dogs and 3 cats at one time. I’m used to many different breeds from small dogs to larger dogs like a German Shepard Husky Mix. I currently have a 1 year old mixed breed (Medium Size: 50 lb) dog! I’m not sure exactly what breed he is but is listed in my profile :) I am home full time, I have one dog that is my ESA and he goes outside when he wants to, has a morning and evening feeding schedule and I clip his nails & bathe him every other week. Dogs are allowed on furniture & bed. I have a mid-size fenced in backyard with turf grass, safe for pets to run around and play in. I have plenty of balls, toys, and bones for pets to chew, and plenty of treats!
“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.”
About: I’ve been a pet sitter for more than 25 years. I specialize in senior care for dogs as well as young adults . My dogs are both rescues . I’m currently semi-retired and your pet is my priority. I am available holidays and weekend's. I have two small dogs, they are gentle and like other dogs. I have a fully fenced yard, and a doggie door leading to my backyard. I can crate your dog if that is what you prefer.
“The best! She comes and picks up the pooches in her doggie bus and send us pictures of them having the best time! She even made sure our doggy got his medicine. We are so grateful for Sara!”
“Our 8 month old puppy stayed with Tracy for 5 nights when we went out of town. This was her first time staying with someone else so I was a bit nervous but there was no need to be. Our puppy was so well taken care of and I was kept well informed with texts, pictures and videos. It made us so happy to see our puppy happy! I would highly recommend Tracy!! We will definitely have Tracy watch our puppy again in the future.”
About: Your pet’s comfort is my priority, I have over 20 years experience owning and caring for pets. I bring a reliable, structured approach to pet care. I have hands‑on experience with training and reinforcing good habits through consistency and positive engagement. I am able to recognize signs of stress. So to the greatest extent possible, I will follow established feeding, walking, and bedtime routines to keep pets grounded while you’re away. I’m confident with younger pets who like to test boundaries giving them the opportunity to make good choices. I'm patient and attentive with senior pets, including those who need slower pacing or extra reassurance, and I’m able to administer medications safely per directions. I treat every animal like they're my family, giving them the same structure and affection they’re used to at home. I work full time from home which allows me to provide attentive and consistent care. Although I work from home and my schedule is relatively flexible, I maintain standard office hours and have client calls throughout the day. Morning or lunchtime drop-offs and pick-ups are preferred if possible. Mornings between 730am and 9am and mid-day between 12pm-1pm are best. if afternoon drop offs/pick-ups are required, my schedule generally allows for that between 4pm-5pm. I take classes approximately four days a week so am generally unavailable for drop‑offs and pick‑ups between 5:30pm - 8:30pm due to the scheduled class times. However, with enough advanced notice I may be able to accommodate your need. if you have questions or a unique situation, please reach out. We truly love your pets like our own and would love for them to come stay with us. Welcome to our home—where pets are family and comfort comes first. My spouse and I recently moved to the Anderson county area and are still in the process of getting settled. I have always had pets in my life. I love their companionship, affection, loyalty, good nature, and adventurous spirit. I provide a loving home where your pets are treated like family. I live in a single‑family home with a fenced yard. I work from home, giving me a flexible schedule for attentive and consistent care. Our household is slower‑paced, making it an ideal environment for senior dogs and small to medium companions who enjoy a calm, cozy routine. Consistent structure and routine are critical for our pets to relax and enjoy themselves. I understand this and am committed to maintaining routines that you have established for your companion. We love to field trip and go hike state parks and gentle trails on the weekends. Everyone's time is limited on this spinning space-rock so we think it's important to give them all the love we can while we're here and to allow them to make their own memories; to enjoy new experiences and new environments. I share my home with my wife (who arguably loves pets more than I do ;), a friendly and sociable 4-year-old female beagle/lab mix 30lbs and one senior female domestic short hair cat. So it’s important that your pet is comfortable with and gets along with other animals. However, if your animal requires some level of isolation due to medical reasons, I have the space to accommodate. For everyone's safety and comfort there are a few things that need to be in place. I only take one client at a time. With that, I insist we have an initial meet and greet. So that the first time your loved one meets me is not in a strange or stressful environment. This makes sure we all (pets included) have a chance to meet and make sure we mesh. Unfortunately, I cannot accept unneutered males or females in heat. all pets must be current on vaccines and be on flea prevention—experience has taught me that prevention is far easier than eradication. Although my schedule is flexible, I maintain standard office hours so have client calls throughout the day. Morning or lunch time drop offs and pick-ups are preferred if possible. Mornings between 730am and 9am and mid-day between 12pm-1pm are best. if afternoon drop offs/pick-ups are required, my schedule generally allows for that between 4pm-5pm. I take classes approximately four days a week so am generally unavailable for drop‑offs and pick‑ups between 5:30pm - 8:30pm due to the scheduled class times. However, with enough advanced notice I may be able to accommodate changes. if you have questions, please reach out. We truly love your pets like our own and would love for them to come stay with us.

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
“Our dogs stay with Raquel was great! She was fantastic with communication and pictures through his stay. She was also flexible with drop off/pick times and we felt she prioritized making our dog feel comfortable. Will use again when in the area!”
“Wendy and her family were amazing. They treated my girl like their own. My girl is very finicky with eating and she ate everyday while in her care. I received photos and updates everyday. Very very pleased and will use her again. Highly recommend.”

Kathleen keeps me updated, is very thoughtful, and goes above and beyond to make sure everything is taken care of. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!”

About: I've had my own cats and various foster cats in my home since I was 14. I know how to give them space, listen to what they want, or give them all the snuggles and playtime they want. I also have experience medicating a range of cats, when needed. For any boarding services, I can give your cat a whole room to themselves, with a comfy bed and window watching fun.
About: I do not personally have a cat myself, but I have taken care of my friends cat for a couple years and turned to love their calm manner. I love to speak and include them in anything I am doing or leave them alone based on how they feel!

“It was such a pleasure meeting Stacie, and getting to know her a little, along with hearing about her own love of animals! I so appreciated the photos she sent since my two cats are new to each other and she was totally thorough in caring for them!”
About: If any of my friends and family had one to say about me, it would be the fact that I love animals and caring for them. I am always the first person they call whenever they need a petsitter! I have always had pets in my life ever since I was a kid and have had a large range of experience with different pets such as hamsters, guinea pigs, reptiles, kittens/cats, puppies/dogs, fish, goats, donkeys, and horses. I love animals of all species, sizes, shapes, and colors and am dedicated to giving them the best care possible. Although this site is designed more for dogs/cats, I am comfortable caring for all types of pets you may have! My most recent animal quest was fostering 5 feral cat/kittens, rehabilitating them, and finding them quality homes after providing them safe harbor for 4 months. I also have a lot of experience in the horse industry, I've worked at an equestrian center and owned horses myself for about 12 years of my life and know all of the ins and outs to equine care. Dogs are also a breeze for me, I have experience caring for all life stages from puppies to seniors. My dog Luna is only 2 years old herself so I went down that road of leash & potty training myself not too long ago! My family also has a 10 year old senior Labrador Retriever, Scout, that I often care for as well. Overall, I would like to say that I am very empathetic towards animals and have a magic touch when it comes to providing for their needs, comfort, and happiness. I would love to share my love and hospitality with your pets as well! I currently work part-time and have frequent availability to spend time with your beloved pets! I'm currently available all day on Mondays, anytime before 3 on Tuesdays, and all day on Wednesdays. However I do work in a restaurant, so my weekend availability does fluctuate each week. But don't worry, I will do everything I can to work with you and make myself available when you need me! I live in a 2-story townhouse with 2 spare bedrooms, so needless to say there is plenty of room for your pet. I have 2 cats Sushi and Kumi, that are dog and cat friendly, as well as a 2 year old Lab-Catahoula mix, Luna, who is super friendly and playful towards other dogs and cats as well! She loves playing with others, so your dog definitely wont be lonely! I will disclose that I'm aware that some people aren't comfortable with leaving their pets with other animals they aren't familiar with, so if that is the case then no problem! I have a garage and 2 spare bedrooms that I can keep them separated in while also giving them all the attention they require. I do not have a yard unfortunately, but there are a few walking trails in close proximity my neighborhood that I take my Luna for walks on all the time! There is also a dog park 10 minutes away that I can take your pet to at any time. I am fully capable of accommodating for all of your pets needs, I have an automatic water bowl that is cleaned and refilled daily, multiple food bowls, toys, cat trees, treats, and leashes, as well as a large crate to house your pet as deemed necessary. If it is required that I care for your pet in your home, I will assure you that I am great at following specific care routines and fully understand why they may be necessary.

Indoors, they'll receive the same love and care as if they were my own pet. Unless you specify otherwise, your dog is more than welcome to join me on the bed or sofa during our downtime—because they're truly part of the family.
“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.”
“This was the first “home” visit for Brandy. Roman and Jasmine made us feel secure in leaving her for several hours. This was also our first Rover experience. It is much more expensive than daycare in Charlotte but at least the option was available.”
“Lisa was wonderful with our dog Minnie! She sent us pictures of her making friends with the resident pups and made sure to ask about care instructions, such as feeding and potty routines. We were very grateful that she offered to do a meet and greet so that Minnie could meet her dogs and get comfortable. We haven’t had our dog for very long and we were a little anxious about leaving her with a sitter for the first time, but we felt so comfortable leaving Minnie in her care and definitely plan to come back!”

I am completely free until I leave for school on August 9th! I have a part time job where I work some Sundays at the Farmers Market from 8am-1pm. I am extremely flexible.

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.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. My own dogs, my neighbors have asked me to drop in while they were on vacation, and my parents friends have had me dog and house sit while they were away. I take the time to get to know what the pets need instead of taking a one size fits all approach. I’m available all week, whatever time. I’m not working any other jobs so I’m available whenever pets need it or pet parents want an extra check in or reassurance. I make sure they’re comfortable, whether that’s in a crate or just on a bed, constantly check their food and water, and make sure they’re good and tired before I stop playing with them.
“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 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 have always lived in a house filled with animals inside and out. We primarily had dogs for pets and would usually at least have 2, from puppies to seniors I’ve loved and cared for all sizes and would love to care for your fur babies as well! There is no size too big or too small, I adore all very much and know how worrying it is to leave your pet in someone else’s care, I assure you they would be loved very much while in my hands! I work from home so I have plenty of time and availability to spend and care for your fur baby while you’re away! I do have my step children every other weekend so communication will be key if your pet is not child friendly and if your schedule will work for me, but I am open to working with you as much as I can! I currently have 2 indoor dogs, both crate and (mostly) potty trained. I have a mid sized boxer and a small mix breed, they are both girls that are dog and kid friendly and as sweet as can be. I have plenty of yard space(not fenced), a quiet road to walk them on, and a runner for solo outside/potty time. I do live in a dog neighborhood with lots of distractions so your fur baby would be kept on a leash at all times when outdoors
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: With years of experience caring for pets, I’ve developed a deep understanding and love for animals. I currently have a dog and a cat of my own. My dog, adopted at 2 months old, is now 1 year old and I’ve trained her through all of puppyhood, and my cat is 4 years old, who I’ve cared for since she was 3 months old. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to care for their pets while they’re away, and I walk and care for a dog for an elderly lady in my town multiple times a week. I also have experience with training dogs and providing attentive care for elderly pets, ensuring each one receives the special attention they need. My dedication and hands-on experience set me apart as a compassionate and reliable pet sitter. I currently work part-time and remotely with a very flexible work schedule.

I maintain a pet-friendly, secure environment with constant supervision and plenty of affection. I follow all safety protocols, including secure leashes and harnesses for walks, and I ensure a clean, hazard-free space for your pet to explore and relax. Your pet will always receive personalized care tailored to their unique needs, ensuring a happy and stress-free experience. Trust that your furry friend is in capable and loving hands with me.
“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 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.

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.

“Madison was great! She was able to accommodate a same-day request, which I really appreciated. She took Annika on an adventure to the park, and Annika came home completely pooped. It was clear she had a great time. I would definitely book with Madison again!”
About: Over the course of my life I’ve owned dogs, cats, rabbits, and multiple different types of reptiles. Currently my family has two dogs, a cat, and a bearded dragon that I care for. I have worked at a vet clinic, and gained a lot of experience with animals. I am currently going to Clemson University and studying Animal Sciences to hopefully eventually be able to go into their vet program. I’m home from college for the summer until August 14, so I have a lot of extra free time that I’m hoping to fill. Plus my job right now is very flexible. When I'm caring for pets, whether it's house sitting, drop-in visits, or dog walking, I always focus on their comfort and routine. For house sitting, I live in your home, making sure your pets are fed, walked, and given their meds, and your home stays just as you left it. For drop-in visits, I stop by your home to feed, play with, and maybe walk your pets. For dog walks, I give your dog a fun and safe walk, making sure they get the exercise they need. I always follow your instructions to keep your pets happy and your home well-maintained. With my own dogs I have experience giving them meds, walking them, feeding them, playing with them, and training them to do tricks.
“Joslyn is such a gem! We are so grateful to have found her to walk our dog. She is always professional, very communicative, and, most of all, she takes care of our doggo and loves on her like she is her own. Joslyn is flexible and adjusts to our dog’s unique needs and preferences. She knows how to read our dog’s body language to know what she needs and when. I highly recommend Joslyn!”
About: i’ve had pets my whole life and even grew up with 4 dogs of various breeds and ages, as well as completed an internship at a local vet taking care of dogs and cats. I have done animals sitting since I was very young and am confident in my ability to ensure safety and fun for your pet. I am currently working part time and have most late morning to early afternoons free to dedicate to your furry friends for any services needed! I have lots of experience with dogs and cats of my own and their needs. Should your pet or you have any specifications or needs I am happy to do so. I love taking photos of animals and would love to share them with you if should wish during my time with your pet!
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! I would love to get to know your pets and take care of them if you need help! :) I am typically free most week days and weekends anytime to walk, feed, or play with pets. 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.
About: I’ve cared for a variety of pets over the years, including two sweet senior dogs and a cat, and I’ve loved every moment of it. I have volunteered at a local animal shelter near Clemson where I took dogs out on “doggy daycations” — long walks, fresh air, and of course pup cups to make their day extra special. I also grew up helping care for my family’s Australian Labradoodle, so I’m comfortable with everything from energetic playtime to gentle, patient care. Whether your pet wants adventure, affection, or a calm companion, I’m here to make them feel safe, loved, and happy. I have a very light semester at Clemson this year, which means I’ll have plenty of downtime and a flexible schedule for pet care. Whether you need regular walks, drop‑ins, or last‑minute help, I’ll be around and available. I love spending my free time outside anyway, so your pets will get lots of attention, fresh air, and fun while you’re away. I always prioritize safety and comfort. I have hands‑on experience walking untrained shelter dogs outdoors, so I’m confident handling pups who may pull, get excited, or need a little extra patience. I’m gentle, calm, and loving with both dogs and cats, and I make sure every animal feels secure and respected in my care. Whether we’re out exploring or relaxing at home, I create a safe, positive environment where pets can be themselves and feel completely at ease.
About: I personally have had pets my whole life and love interacting and learning their behaviors. I love the company of a pet and will definitely adjust to what ever needs are needed for your specific pet! I currently go to Clemson University, studying biology. With that my weekdays are pretty packed, but Friday, Saturday, and Sundays are free for me! On Mondays and Wednesday, I end class at 2 PM so definitely have time from 2 PM to the next day until 10 AM. I will adjust myself based on your pets needs! I have a gated fence and can take them on walks around campus or parks. If needing me to buy certain items, it will add charge!
About: For as long as I can remember, I have always had a dog in my life. I am always willing to make time for a four-legged companion, and because I'm athletic/energetic, I enjoy walking and playing with your dog. I have 20 years of sitting experience, five on Rover, and I've worked in professional pet boarding and training at a boutique kennel (Cuddly Critters in Greenville). I am a schedule oriented person who can easily adapt to other people's/animal's schedules. Pets always make the best companions, and I want to get to know as many as possible. I have had several fulltime jobs throughout my life, but I doubt any will be as fun as watching your dog. Recently, my career has revolved around higher education, so anything that can make a dent in my student loans is a plus! Happy to hear any questions/special requests you might have. Please feel free to contact me for anything. I'm currently working part time, but it is all remote work done via laptop. So all I need is wifi and I'm good to go. I can commit most of the 24+hrs directly to your dog. I always create a fun and safe environment whenever I'm around "our better halves" (lol). I know how to calm down anxious dogs, but also keep up with any sheep dogs you might have lol.
About: I have always loved dogs! I used to get so mad at my parents as a kid for making our dog stay outside alone. I used to sit outside with her to make sure she always felt loved. When I turned 20 I adopted my first dog, Lily a Great Dane, and then at 23 my husband and I adopted our little chipper! We’ve had a turtle and lots of fish in between then and now! I always loved going on adventures with them: lots of road trips, hikes, runs and trips to the beach (when we lived there). Lily is no longer with us but was the best dog to adventure with. Our 13 year old chipper is starting to slow down and his arthritis is causing him to be unable to walk as far as we used to. He’s been on all the hikes around here, we would go to watering holes and beaches. With smallish kids and busy schedules we are not planning on adopting another dog anytime soon. I miss having a buddy to go on hikes in the woods with so if you want your pup to have an adventure I am here to help! I’m a full time mom but I don’t pick up my youngest from school until 11:30 am. I will have 3 hours everyday free M-Fr. I would love to take your best friend out into the woods to offer him more enrichment than he could get just in a neighborhood! I would be willing to buy a harness for a dog to be kept in the back seat while traveling- if that would make you comfortable! I’ve got window locks on my back door windows to make sure they don’t jump out. I am not willing to take a dog if the lead during hikes even if they have a great recall- too much can happen in the woods! I’m pretty confident on the hikes that I take and I only go places that I am familiar with the terrain.
About: I have grown up around dogs my entire life, both big and small. I understand the patience and commitment when taking care of dogs. As a college student I spend a lot of times away from my own dogs, so I can confirm that I will provide a lot of love and care for your furry friend! I am currently a full time college student but have free days Sunday, Monday, Friday and Wednesday (all day). However, I am willing to work with your needs and find time on Tuesdays and Thursdays after 5pm. I can come to your home and care for your dog how you please. I love taking walks, so I can provide some extra fun an exercise for your dog!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats with all different sorts of personalities for many years now. Friends and family rely on me to sit, walk, feed, bathe and train their fur babies. I have 8 years of experience with working in the animal field, I have worked at a doggy daycare, dog/cat boarding & at the humane society. My passion is loving and taking care of animals of any kind. I’m very trustworthy and reliable! I currently stay at home most hours of the day with my own fur babies, I’m available every day of the week at any time. I have lots of room to play indoors or outdoors & i have 4 friendly dog’s who are always looking for more friends to play with. I can crate any dog if needed.
About: I have always grown up with pets: 3 dogs, 1 cat, and a beared dragon. I have helped train a puppy, cared for a dying senior dog, and everything in between. I have experience with pets who have high energy, anxiety, dietary needs, and physical disabilities. Family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me to pet sit, drop in, provide over night care, and walk their dogs. I have worked at a dog groomer for over 2 years, which has given me experience with a wide variety of animals and their temperaments. I’m a full time student at Clemson University who has most afternoons/ evenings and weekend free to care for your pets! I am studying wildlife conservation so spending time with animals is one of my favorite things to do! Following instructions, I can care for your pet however you direct me to. I am comfortable taking your dog for walks/ hikes, playing indoors and outdoors, dosing medications, keeping up with training, and providing all the love and comfort your pet will need while you are away!
About: I have had dogs and cats as pets my whole life. I love taking care of animals and giving them the love they deserve! I have experience with walking, bathing, feeding, and playing with dogs and cats and I am happy to help! I am home for the summer so I will be available pretty much anytime of day throughout the week and weekend! Message me for more detailed info! I am a very neat and tidy person and always make it a priority to clean up after myself and the animals when I am pet sitting, doing check ins, etc!
About: If any of my friends and family had one to say about me, it would be the fact that I love animals and caring for them. I am always the first person they call whenever they need a petsitter! I have always had pets in my life ever since I was a kid and have had a large range of experience with different pets such as hamsters, guinea pigs, reptiles, kittens/cats, puppies/dogs, fish, goats, donkeys, and horses. I love animals of all species, sizes, shapes, and colors and am dedicated to giving them the best care possible. Although this site is designed more for dogs/cats, I am comfortable caring for all types of pets you may have! My most recent animal quest was fostering 5 feral cat/kittens, rehabilitating them, and finding them quality homes after providing them safe harbor for 4 months. I also have a lot of experience in the horse industry, I've worked at an equestrian center and owned horses myself for about 12 years of my life and know all of the ins and outs to equine care. Dogs are also a breeze for me, I have experience caring for all life stages from puppies to seniors. My dog Luna is only 2 years old herself so I went down that road of leash & potty training myself not too long ago! My family also has a 10 year old senior Labrador Retriever, Scout, that I often care for as well. Overall, I would like to say that I am very empathetic towards animals and have a magic touch when it comes to providing for their needs, comfort, and happiness. I would love to share my love and hospitality with your pets as well! I currently work part-time and have frequent availability to spend time with your beloved pets! I'm currently available all day on Mondays, anytime before 3 on Tuesdays, and all day on Wednesdays. However I do work in a restaurant, so my weekend availability does fluctuate each week. But don't worry, I will do everything I can to work with you and make myself available when you need me! I live in a 2-story townhouse with 2 spare bedrooms, so needless to say there is plenty of room for your pet. I have 2 cats Sushi and Kumi, that are dog and cat friendly, as well as a 2 year old Lab-Catahoula mix, Luna, who is super friendly and playful towards other dogs and cats as well! She loves playing with others, so your dog definitely wont be lonely! I will disclose that I'm aware that some people aren't comfortable with leaving their pets with other animals they aren't familiar with, so if that is the case then no problem! I have a garage and 2 spare bedrooms that I can keep them separated in while also giving them all the attention they require. I do not have a yard unfortunately, but there are a few walking trails in close proximity my neighborhood that I take my Luna for walks on all the time! There is also a dog park 10 minutes away that I can take your pet to at any time. I am fully capable of accommodating for all of your pets needs, I have an automatic water bowl that is cleaned and refilled daily, multiple food bowls, toys, cat trees, treats, and leashes, as well as a large crate to house your pet as deemed necessary. If it is required that I care for your pet in your home, I will assure you that I am great at following specific care routines and fully understand why they may be necessary.

“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.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life! Growing up with my grandparents, we’ve had 5 dogs and 3 cats at one time. I’m used to many different breeds from small dogs to larger dogs like a German Shepard Husky Mix. I currently have a 1 year old mixed breed (Medium Size: 50 lb) dog! I’m not sure exactly what breed he is but is listed in my profile :) I am home full time, I have one dog that is my ESA and he goes outside when he wants to, has a morning and evening feeding schedule and I clip his nails & bathe him every other week. Dogs are allowed on furniture & bed. I have a mid-size fenced in backyard with turf grass, safe for pets to run around and play in. I have plenty of balls, toys, and bones for pets to chew, and plenty of treats!
