About: I’ve been caring for pets my entire life, starting with my childhood responsibility of feeding and cleaning up after our family cats. Since then, I’ve raised and trained multiple dogs, including tiny puppies and a 9-month-old stray who thrived with additional training. I worked at a kennel where I cared for both cats and dogs, gaining valuable experience with animals of all temperaments. Today, I’m a proud pet parent to a rescue dog and four cats, ensuring they’re safe, happy, and loved. I’d love to give the same care and attention to your furry family members! I have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide attentive and timely care for your pets. Whether it’s daily visits, walks, or check-ins, I’m happy to customize both the care routine and pricing based on what works best for you and your furry family members. I’m committed to ensuring your pets receive the love and care they deserve while fitting seamlessly into their routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their routine to ensure they feel safe and comfortable. This includes feeding them on schedule, providing fresh water, cleaning up after them (litter boxes, potty breaks, etc.), and ensuring they get plenty of love and attention. For dogs, I offer walks, playtime, and any training reinforcement the owner requests. For cats, I respect their space while ensuring they feel cared for, with cuddles or playtime as needed. I also make sure to communicate with owners regularly to keep them updated on their pets’ well-being.

About: I have grown up with pets my whole life. I started petsitting at 13 and have experience with puppies, seniors, and administering medications. I have been employed by a doggy daycare and boarding facility, so animal caretaking is apart of my everyday routine! I am a freshman at Clemson University, and I’m majoring in Animal and Veterinary Science! I’m currently a full time student at Clemson with extra time in the afternoons and weekends for walking or taking care of your fur babies! I am very responsible when it comes to pet care, especially other peoples pets. I can ensure that I will take good care of your pets. I love to send lots of pictures daily so that you know your pet is safe and happy!

“Keri is the perfect dog sitter. She stayed at my house with my two dogs. I returned home to happy dogs and a house in better condition than I left it! I highly recommend her.”


About: With over six years of hands-on experience in animal care, I bring a deep understanding of a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, horses, ducks, chickens, and goats. What sets me apart is not just my experience, but the level of care, patience, and attentiveness I provide to every animal I work with. I’m confident handling pets of all ages and temperaments, and I have experience with both high-energy puppies and senior animals that need extra care and gentleness. I’m also comfortable managing feeding routines, administering basic medications, and recognizing early signs of illness or discomfort. Whether it’s helping a puppy learn positive behaviors or ensuring a senior pet is comfortable and happy, I tailor my approach to each animal’s unique needs. Animals aren’t just a job to me — they’re a passion. I treat every pet like my own, and I work hard to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for in my presence. I am available for drop ins and dog walks everyday but Sunday. I have a very flexible schedule and can work around your schedule as well. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my top priority is creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment tailored to each animal’s needs and routine. In my home, I make sure pets have a calm, clean space to relax, play, and feel secure. I follow their usual schedule as closely as possible—this includes feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions like medications or crate training. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. In a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the household rules. I keep things consistent by maintaining the pet’s feeding, potty, walk, and play schedules just as their owners do. I also provide updates and photos to help clients feel connected and reassured while they’re away. I treat every home with care and professionalism, and every animal like they’re part of my own family. My goal is always to keep pets happy, healthy, and comfortable—wherever they are.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was born and been around animal care pretty consistently since, from dogs to horses, to reptiles. Dogs have always been like another part of my soul and I truly understand how important it is to have your fur babies in a safe environment when you are out of town and need a sitter. I have had personal experience training my puppy as well as taking care of senior dogs and administering medications if needed. Nothing would make me happier than being able to provide a safe environment for your pup and giving you the reassurance they are well taken care of while you’re away! I am currently in graduate school at Clemson University getting my PhD in Chemistry. The kind of work I do is very flexible and allows me to be home or go home whenever needed to take care of your dog! I often spend the day at work when just my dog is at home but am more than able to make frequent visits if taking care of another! I have a large yard that is unfortunately not fenced in. My pup runs around and is allowed off leash but I will completely abide by your preferences. My dog is very friendly and loves having other fur friends around to play with both inside and out. I have multiple rooms in my house so your dog can have its own space if wanted or needed. When leaving the house I will keep the two separate just for safety purposes, by when I am present your dog will be just like one of my own including cuddles on the couch, sleeping in bed with us if preferred or allowed, and lots of play time!

“Audrey did a wonderful job with our two dogs! She communicated well prior to her staying with our dogs and also confirmed a day before. She also sent pictures of them to us to let us know they were doing well. I highly recommend her.”


“Ali was great! We did a meet & greet to make sure everyone was comfortable. She got along great with both our dogs, who have very different personalities. Ali sent us pictures of our puppers while we were away, and they seemed to be having a wonderful time. When we arrived home, the house was spotless, and the dogs were happy. What more could you ask for?”


“Alyssa is awesome with dogs. We did a meet and greet and she was very relaxed even around our skittish girl. A few days before our trip, she came by to go over everything and I felt super comfortable that we were leaving our dogs in good hands. Alyssa sent us pictures and updates each day. I wouldn't hesitate recommending Alyssa, and we hope to use her again next time.”


“Hannah was so amazing with my dog and cat! She helped out last minute and was so flexible. I would highly recommend her! She made me feel comfortable leaving them with her and I know they loved her so much!”


“I am so grateful for Jessica. She was great with the dogs and did exactly what we asked of her!! We were traveling out of state for our daughter's wedding and we had confirmed a dog sitter weeks in advance for the big day. The original dog sitter never showed for the meet and greet two days before the wedding so we had to scramble. Luckily Jessica was available last minute and even came early so she could meet us and the dogs! If we ever need help in SC again, I would absolutely reach out to Jessica!”
