About: I have had animals in and around the house for as long as I can remember, recently I have moved onto a farm where pet care has taken on a whole new level. As someone with a farm I know that caring for your animals can’t stop even when we have to work. I would like to provide pet care owners with peace of mind that their fur baby is being well cared for and nurtured while away. I am experienced in tailoring my care to what each pet needs just as a person would need. I work 3 days during the week giving me availability for longer doggy sitting day or more than one stop in for the day. Working no weekends give me the availability to overnight boards well I live on a farm so there are several parts of the yard that are fenced or gated in. We have one medium and one small inside dog to keep your fur baby company and a 0.25 mile long drive way for safe walks outdoors
About: I have taken care of small, medium and large breed dogs for at least 20+ years and have four dogs of my own. I have taken care of friends' and family dogs as well in my home. Need a weekend away? I am available weekends all day Friday through Sunday from 10am-8pm for hourly walking and/or sitting services as needed in your home. I will treat your dog as my own. I have taken care of up to five dogs in my own home. We currently have four between ages 5 and 14, Yours will be safe and happy with me in your home. Loving on, feeding, and walking them at your convenience.
About: I have had experience training and caring for dogs. I currently own 2 dogs, one small and a bigger one. I am the go to sitter for my family and I know enough to interact and communicate with these fun pets. To this day I am still learning more about how to strengthen my bond with my four legged friends and always trying to find a way for them to live a clean, lengthy, healthy life. These days have been kind of slow and I always make time for my four legged crew so I will be available all weekdays with the exception of Friday and weekends. I have a big fenced in yard and two fur babies to keep your family company. I always make sure to keep my eye on them and talk to them so we establish a link of communication.
About: I started working in a kennel as a teenager and quickly advanced into working as a Veterinary Technician at the same facility. I have since moved on to work at a clinic closer to where I live, and have been working there for 6 years now. I have worked in this field for about 11 years total and am fully capable of taking excellent care of your pets! I work part time right now to stay home with my 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son most days. I work Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10am-6:30pm and Fridays from 2pm-6:30pm. On the day’s that I am off, your pets will have around the clock care from me. On the days that I work, I will come home on my lunch break to give them a potty break. We live on 14 acres that are not fenced in. Your pets will be walked on a leash a least every two hours during the day. I have found that leash walking is the most effective way to ensure your pet will not escape. I will only give food, treats and medications that you send with your pet to ensure your pets health and safety. You may request a bath or nail trim at an additional cost which will be done on the day before you pick your pet up. You will be notified immediately if your pets begin to show any signs of illness, and I will personally take them to your Veterinary Clinic of choice if needed. I promise your pets will be in great hands!

Dogs are allowed on the furniture in our home, however if you wish that I do not encourage this behavior I will absolutely respect that.

She was very friendly, responsive, and the communication with her couldn’t have been any easier. She kept me updated on my dog and sent me pictures. I spent my time at the beach with absolute peace of mind knowing that she is watching my dog closely and he is receiving the best service. My dog loved her and her daughter.

About: Following the passing of our beloved 13 year old furbaby Zoe shortly after Christmas in 2024, my husband Kenny and I decided to honor her memory by offering dog boarding services in our home. We wanted to create a space where other dogs would receive the same love and care that Zoe did while their owners are traveling or away. Now that we are both retired and home full-time, we are able to provide a calm, comfortable, and loving environment for dogs, free from the stress often found in traditional kennels. Our home offers a peaceful setting where dogs receive individualized attention and care - no concrete kennels or constant barking, just a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. Both Kenny and I have had dogs throughout our lives, often with two or three dogs at a time, as we do now. We have always adopted rescue dogs and regularly foster, with the aim of giving dogs a better future and a loving home. We have never, ever regretted this commitment. Currently, our family includes two dogs and two cats, all of whom get along well, are low-key, and are deeply loved. We have ample space and resources to care for your dog (or dogs!) as well, and would be delighted to do so. Additionally, we are pleased and honored to offer very low cost long-term boarding for any military service members who are deploying and need assistance caring for their dogs while they are away. Please feel free to reach out for more information. My husband and I are retired and have ample time and resources to provide exceptional care for your dog, just as we do for our own pets, as well as those of our friends and family. Although we do not have a fenced yard, we walk your dogs leashed. We live out in the country on a lake, in the middle of nowhere on our own private 2 acres, on a dead end cul-de-sac with no traffic at all. We have a very large 20'x30' detached game room that is our hangout space, and would be where the dogs played indoors and could bed down. We have smoke detectors and a monitored alarm system that covers the house and game room. We have an excellent Vet available in Newberry, as well as access to a visiting emergency Vet service here at the house. There are no children or aggressive dogs here.
“Joy is so wonderful! She is so kind and loving to my pup that when I leave in the morning I feel so reassured the day will go well. Duncan loves going to Joys and playing all day and he comes home tired - so I know he had a good day too! Highly recommend!!”

I also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you know your pet is happy and well cared for
“Jaidyn was absolutely wonderful! She was so sweet and loving with our fur babies and even walked them extra time! We have a little escape artist on our hands, so extra restraints are required on one of their houses and she accommodated the extra request with ease and precision. She even sent lots of pictures so we could see that they were very happy! We will definitely be calling Jaidyn again in the future! Thank you so much for loving them in our absence ❤️”

I have a fenced in yard and 4 dogs who love to play! I can crate if needed inside the home! Your pets are allowed to stay inside!
About: I'm Shelby, I 'm 25, and animals are my passion... especially dogs. I've worked at Petco, PetSmart, Upstate Dog Training, and most recently Astro Kennels as a dog trainer. While I loved training... I decided to take a break to be home more with my own, to work on myself, and eventually go back to school. I want to be a therapist but until then I want to continue to have my passion sprinkled into my life. For now I am doing Instacart and pet care. I offer baths, check my cover photo out! All baths come with ear cleaning, anal gland expression, a spritz of breath spray, and a spritz of cologne! If you would like to add training to your drop in or walk, you can add that for $35 through CashApp, Zelle, or leaving cash when I drop in. Pick three skills for your dog to work on and they will recieve an extra hour with me to work on those skills. A few examples, and not limited to are: Loose leash walking (walking on a leash without pulling), sit, down (lay down), place (going to a specific spot and staying there until called), stay, recall (coming back when called), tricks (roll over, shake, play dead or bang, etc), load up (getting into a car), socialization (usually required to go to pet friendly stores or parks), etc... usually whatever your issues are, I can work with. After training, I will send either a video or multiple videos to show progress as well as how to practice what they learned at home so you get the same results. Please be aware that in order for your dog to get the most out of training and for you to get the results you want, you must practice with your dog as well and use consistency. That is the reason I will provide the videos and I also will leave a detailed report to explain the training as well so you have all you need to continue practicing at home. I worked as an obedience trainer at all of the businesses stated above which included working with pet parents and their pups to reach their training goals one on one, teaching group classes, and day training with just me and the dogs. I also did private assessments with dogs and their owners to help with specific behavioral issues and to come up with training plans for dogs that just needed basic training to dogs with reactivity issues. I have very open availability and experience with tons of breeds, from Chiweenies, to Pits, to Shepherds, Great Danes, and Irish Wolfhounds. You name the breed, chances are I've worked with them. However, I have a specific breed I adore... Shepherds. At home I have a 3 year old male German Shepherd. His ears never stood up, so they are floppy and adorable but don't let that fool you, he is not people friendly. He does well with submissive dogs and females. Just no unaltered males 🤣 So I take the proper precautions while walking and caring for him. I continue to work through his issues and I love him to death. He is my baby. He has come so far since I got him at five months. He's my first dog, not a family dog... but all mine. I also own a Heinz 57... I'm not sure of her age. She was found abandoned. At this moment, I assume 10 months to a year old. After doing the Embark DNA test with my German Shepherd, I decided to find out her breed as well. The results were SuperMutt ( in this category it detected the possibility of Dutch Shepherd, Australian Shepherd, Beagle, and Boxer) and the rest of the test said she was German Shepherd, Siberian Husky, American Bulldog, Irish Wolfhound, Great Dane, and Mastiff. However, she's a medium sized dog with a skinny stature and long legs. The reason my male Shepherd gets along with her is because she's a calm and submissive female (he's a dominant male) so they work together perfectly and I'm so glad I could find him the perfect buddy. That being said... I'd love to watch your pups (and yes cats too, as I've watched them in the past as well as cared for them since we boarded cats at one of the facilities I've worked at) and care for them as if they are my own. What can I say, dogs and Star Wars are my life :) I have open availability. As of right now, I Instacart in my free time and care for my own dogs at home through walks, car rides, and trips to the park or dog friendly stores to keep up with exercise and training! I have experience with feeding, watering, administering medications, and training dogs. As well as cleaning up the messes they make appropriately. My specialty is love though. I'm a big petter and snuggler... unless of course your dog isn't the type. I know my boundaries :D
About: I am great with all pets and have experience with all sizes and temperaments. I personally have 3 dogs and 1 cat. I am great with bathing and walking dogs as well as feeding. I am currently a college student and only have 2 classes left to graduate so I have a lot of free time. I am available most days of the week. I do not offer to care for your pet at my home. I currently live with my parents and do not have my own place to comfortably care for client’s pets.
About: I’m very reliable and caring with all pets. I pay close attention to their needs and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I have experience caring for both puppies and senior pets, including following routines, giving extra attention, and handling basic training or special care when needed. I am currently in school part time so I’m pretty flexible for the most part! I have classes every weekday until about 12:20 in the afternoon. I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they are fed on time, have fresh water, get plenty of playtime and exercise, and receive lots of attention. I keep their space clean and safe, follow any instructions the owner provides, and give updates to make sure owners feel comfortable while they’re away.
About: I am an absolute dog lover. I have a small dog of my own named Kuma. He is a little over a year old and very well behaved. Him and I love adventuring together. We would be thrilled to have a buddy to accompany us in walks/runs or a trip to the park. I’ve handled all sorts of animals of all shapes and sizes my entire life. I’ve never met a pupper I didn’t love or that didn’t love me. I am a former veterinarian’s assistant so I am experienced in dog handling and first aid, and administering medicines. I am opened to walks, sitting and boarding. My availability is very open. I am fully willing to comply to yours and your fur baby’s needs.
About: I have been a pet owner all of my life and there is a special joy and comfort that only a dog or cat can give us! I think it is important for our pets to get daily exercise to keep them happy and healthy. I'm an avid fitness enthusiast and I love all animals so getting your dog out of the house for daily walks is the perfect fit for both me and your furry friend! It's a great way for your dog to release that playful energy while strengthening their health as well. Playtime is also important in keeping our pets happy and friendly! Getting out and throwing balls, frisbees, sticks, etc is one of my favorite things to do with my own dogs and it's another great form of exercise for your pup! All animals are precious and deserve all the love and care that they can get and I consider it a privilege for me to help you provide that for your furry family member!! I'm currently a volunteer firefighter for Columbia fire department at Station 26 in Blythewood. As a volunteer, my schedule at the station is flexible, which allows me to accommodate to the scheduling needs of my Rover clients!! Every one of our beloved pets are different with wonderful, unique personalities of their own! I always offer and recommend a meet and greet to get to know you & your fuzzy friends & vise versa...as well a to taylor each visit to your pet's unique individual needs! (Eg, important medical information, personality quirks or anxites, etc) My goal is to create a dream vacation experience for your furry loved one; Full of playful fun & exercise; cuddles & belly rubs; custom meal plans with your choice of treats & toys to their liking & potty breaks galore! I love & care for each of your furry family members as If they are my own, & as a pet parent myself, I know the importance of having peace of mind by trusting that they are safe and in good hands when you are away! It is my promise that by the end of every visit, walk, overnight stay, etc....that your pet will feel Happy, Healthy, Full, Loved, & worn out from Fun!!!!!

I’ll care for them too! 🐠🦜🐁🐍🦎( this excludes Insect pets.)✨ All I ask is that if I am to pet sit to please allow me to bring my dog if it is overnight stay. I am typically available full-time on the weekends only as I have all day off on those days. Weekdays I am available after 5pm. After I get off of work I typically care for my own pets before relaxing myself. I like to follow instructions provided by the owner.

About: My home has always had pets and I love to care for them. I currently live in a home that is on 1/3 of an acre in a neighborhood near Irmo, SC. Although the yard is very large, it is not fenced in but a huge playground for my two dogs. I have a 2 year old beagle (Cooper) who is quiet and loving and a high energy 1 year old Australian Shepard (Ashley). They are named after the Cooper and Ashley Rivers in Charleston, SC. I spend all day with my dogs as I am a stay at home dog dad for now. I take my dogs on frequent walks on leash and very much enjoy them. They are happy dogs and they love other dogs to play with. I am a stay at home dog dad so caring for my pets is simply a part of my every day life. We have a quiet home with little if any stress and a great deal of love and happiness. My dogs are well disciplined dogs, but have free run of the house and yard. When they need to be outside they are outside and when they are inside, they have comfort and care. In your home, I would care for your pets as if they are my own.

About: I have had experience training and caring for dogs. I currently own 2 dogs, one small and a bigger one. I am the go to sitter for my family and I know enough to interact and communicate with these fun pets. To this day I am still learning more about how to strengthen my bond with my four legged friends and always trying to find a way for them to live a clean, lengthy, healthy life. These days have been kind of slow and I always make time for my four legged crew so I will be available all weekdays with the exception of Friday and weekends. I have a big fenced in yard and two fur babies to keep your family company. I always make sure to keep my eye on them and talk to them so we establish a link of communication.
