About: I grew up with 2 dogs in the house and got my fur baby 11 years ago. I’ve been taking care of my own and helping other for over 10 years. Love being outside and letting our four legged family members get their much needed play time! Stay at home mom with a flexible schedule to help with walks/potty breaks during the day. Available most weekends to help sit and possible weekdays depending on how long of a stay is needed. I have an 11 year old Shepard mix who loves the company of another fur friend. I also have a medium size dog crate if needed.
About: I have over 25 years experience taking care of all breeds of dogs, cats, lizards, fish and just about anything else you can think of. Whether you have a senior or special needs fur baby, one with a lot of extra energy or if you'd just like your fur-kid to have some extra attention while you're at work or away, I'm open to whatever their needs are and taking care of them. I am self employed so I make my own schedule. Therefore I'm available to work around daily walks, play times, feedings or whatever is needed. I am open to doing whatever you recommend when staying in your home. I find it's easier on them when very little changes while you're gone, so I like to keep their routine as close to normal as possible.
“Sharon is a Gem!! She went well out of her way to take care of my senior diabetic dog and can’t thank her enough!!! This was the first time I left my dog with a sitter after being diagnosed diabetic and I didn’t worry at all because I knew he was in good hands. Sharon genuinely cares about your pup and she is one of the nicest people I have met. Sharon thank you so much for taking great care of Rudy so I could enjoy my son’s wedding weekend !!”
“Fantastic! Kind and quick to respond. Watched over our boy for nine days supplying excellent care, daily pictures and updates. Huge, fenced back yard. We highly recommend their services as your first choice!”
“Stephen and Jessica are amazing care givers! My precious pup absolutely adore the two of them plus their dogs! It is so reassuring to be out of town and be able to know that my dog is being loved and well cared for! Thank you both so much! Kirby already misses you! He’s exhausted! ❤️🐾❤️”
“As always, Oswald has a blast with Jennifer and her family! In fact when I got there he was too focused on her to notice me!!! 😂🤣. That’s one of the reason I don’t mind leaving him because I know he’s well taken care of at his second home!!!”

“Tara stepped in last minute when my regular petsitter had a medical emergency. I so appreciated her squeezing me in and making me feel comfortable and confident in her abilities right away. She did a great job with my kitty and I'll definitely use her again in the future.”
“Emily is such a Sweetheart and very attentive. She has a genuine love for dogs. From the second I met her, l knew she would be wonderful.

I also do photography as a hobby, you will always have cute photos sent to you. I am a stay at home mom, because my schedule is flexible, I'm able to work around what is needed for taking care of your fur babies. I have found that when a new person enters an animals schedule, staying on the schedule they are used to helps everyone adjust. I feel keeping the animal (s) on a schedule they're used to is helpful.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Wiggins
“I traveled down from Maryland last minute for an unfortunate loss in my family. Everything happened so quickly that I didn't gave time to make arrangements for Bear, my 6 month old Cavapoo who had literally just gotten neutered a few days prior. After my 9 hour drive I prayed and hopped on Rover. God led me to Ashley and I have no regrets. Her home was beautiful and fulled with pictures of her sweet young family. She was so kind and Bear settled in immediately. I will definitely use her services again!!!!”
“Leayn was absolutely amazing! I needed a last-minute sitter for my old, deaf dog while I was in a meeting. He fit right in, and loved his time with her and the other dogs she was sitting. Thanks Leayn!”
About: Hi, I'm Virginia! I've been an animal lover my entire life and know that pets are family. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, overnight care, or someone to keep them company while you're away, I'll treat them with the same love, patience, and attention I'd give my own. I'm dependable, detail-oriented, and understand that every dog has their own unique personality and routine. I'm happy to follow your instructions closely, whether that's sticking to a feeding schedule, administering medication, reinforcing training, or making sure your pup gets plenty of exercise, playtime, and cuddles. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I'll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I'm currently flexible and can accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I do my best to keep them on their normal routine. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, potty breaks, playtime, or simply companionship while you're away, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and reliable care. Your pet's safety and well-being are my highest priorities. I'll carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, training, and household rules so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible.

I'll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Can't give enough compliments to Tara and her family! I have been traveling a lot with my dog and ran into dilemmas when I couldn't bring him certain places with me. Knowing he would be an anxious mess staying in an unfamiliar setting, I looked for nearby sitters and was amazed at Tara's quick response on such short notice. Her neighborhood is perfect for dog walking and her home is clean, safe, and comfortable. Her children are so respectful and were wonderful helpers during Crusoe's stay. I received photos of him enjoying time outside and of course cuddling with the little ones! I rebooked again with Tara the next day and won't hesitate to do so next time we're in town!”
About: I have been a vet tech for 14 years now and I absolutely love the work I do. Unfortunately, being a single mother doesn't allow me to fully commit to veterinary clinic hours. I am starting up my own mobile pet service business called Pampered Pet. I provide excellent pet care along with other services such as nail trims, sanitary and paw shave, baths and more. I will give your fur-baby lots of love and attention so you can rest your mind knowing your pet is in great hands.

Please contact me with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your fur-baby. I currently run my own business so I will have plenty of time to give your fur baby the attention and loving they deserve while you are away. We are working on a fence at the moment. Your pup will love playing with my sweet yellow lab. If needed, I can always put my dog in his kennel. I do not foresee that happening though.
“Genia was awesome with our high energy dog, Fiver. She took her to the beach and on walks and sent me photos. Best of all, Genia was super flexible with time during our busy, unpredictable moving day. Fiver can't wait to go back and play with Genia's dogs!”

Conveniently located on your way to Kiawah/Seabrook Island, we are here to make your time away from home comfortable and convenient! We have a unique living situation where we live above the bicycle shop we own so one of us will be “home” most of the days.

In our home, pets are treated like family, and every day is a new adventure! The mornings always kick off with fetch in our yard. While we’re in the process of building a fence, our yard is tucked away off the road, next to a quiet driveway leading to a storage facility—plenty of space to play safely! Our dog (and yours, if you’re comfortable) then heads to work at the bicycle shop, where she’s the official greeter and mood booster, soaking up love from coworkers (furry ones and human ones) and guests. Midday breaks are all about chasing tennis balls and soaking in extra snuggles. After work, the real fun begins! We head to John’s Island County Park’s dog park or Beachwalker Park for epic sunset zoomies on the beach. Your pup will enjoy endless playtime, love, and adventure with us—it’s a tail-wagging good time every single day! Your dog(s) can join in on all the fun with the other pups and people or can be kept separate while still being comfortable, getting lots of play, and all the love they need!
