About: I have always loved dogs growing up. i have experience with dogs of all breeds- from German Shepards to Pit Bulls to Maltese and Yorkies! I’ve sat in my own home and have done home visits and drop-ins alike. Have experience sitting for dogs with seizures as well. I do Rover full time so I am always with the dogs. When I step out for a period of time, it’s almost always under 4 hours. I do prefer to stay at home most times. I’ll be certain they are getting THE MOST loving. Your dogs will be my number one priority while they are here with me. Dogs are such an important part of our lives. They will get plenty of attention/breaks etc, keeping water out and food accordingly. Your dogs can have the option of sleeping wherever in my home; I have plenty of blankets and pillows around. Whether your doggo wants to stay in the bedroom at night, sleep in their own kennel, or even in their own space (private room with bed & ac & ceiling fan), I want all animals and humans alike to always feel cozy and comfortable here.

About: Hi, My name is Kailynn! I’m a passionate pet sitter and walker with a lifelong love for animals. Ever since I was young, furry companions have been part of my world, filling my days with joy, adventure, and endless snuggles. 💕 Right now, I share my home with three wonderful cats Ivy, Clover, and Flynn. Caring for animals isn’t just my job, it’s my heart and soul! Whether it’s a midday walk, or a cozy cuddle session, I’m here to make sure every pet feels happy, safe, and completely adored while their humans are away. I currently have two jobs, but in between, I have a window of free time from 10:30 - 3:30, the perfect time to spend with playful pets! While these are my usual hours, I may be able to accommodate care outside this timeframe, depending on scheduling. Feel free to reach out, and I’ll do my best to be there for your furry friend! For dogs, safe walks are a must! Whether it’s strolling through their neighborhood or adventuring in a nearby park, I ensure they’re on secure leashes, always watching for surroundings and maintaining a pace that suits their needs.

“She’s been absolutely wonderful with my dog — reliable, caring, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. My pup gets so excited every time she arrives, and it’s clear he feels comfortable and happy in her care. She always communicates promptly, provides updates after walks, ect. If you're looking for someone trustworthy and kind to look after your pet, she’s the one!”


About: I have watched many dogs in my neighborhood for years! I am willing to walk/run your dog as much as needed and I will love them as my own! I am at home and can be extremely flexible to scheduling! Weekdays or weekends I am available and can work with your schedule as needed. I have a fenced in yard and currently no animals at my own, I have young children who love animals and would love to help as well!

About: I am a dog lover all the way around. I find working with animals fulfilling. I love their unconditional love and absolutely loving giving it back to them. I have a husband, son and daughter that are as crazy about dogs as me. They work with me at a shelter to unload transports and finding foster dogs their furever home. I have several adopted dogs and work with a local shelter when I have the additional time. Nothing makes me happier (besides my family) than seeing the look in a dogs eyes when they find their furever home. Any dog I have encountered always gets spoiled by me and my family. Having my attention would be one and one with lots of play time. I also have dogs of my own and they would be socialized and have dog attention. I am currently an empty nester with my husband. I am home everyday and have lots of time and love to give to your pets. I have experience with small animals (rabbits, hamsters, Guinea pigs, etc). Any animal I have a fenced in yard and 3 small and 1 medium dogs. I have crates if your fur baby needs crates. My dogs have run of the house except for when I am out.

Able to come sit for ~30 minuites-hour (longer if needed) in your home each time.

About: In my life I have owned 6 dogs. One of which got so old she couldn’t eat or drink anything so twice a day I would have give her fluid through an IV that I placed in between her shoulder blades. One of my other dogs gave birth to 8 puppies which I cared for for 2.5 months till they were ready for their forever home. I have dog sat for neighbors and family members. My current dog has just been diagnosed with cancer so I am in charge of giving him his meds everyday and making sure he is comfortable. I have also just rescued a kitten who has really come out of her shell and is fully litter box trained. I love all animals and being a college student I don’t get to see mine very often, so I would love to come see yours and help you take care of them when you aren’t able!

I have a large fenced in back yard. 2 dog friendly dogs that love to play along with a 1 year old who loves the animals!

About: I have been an animal lover for my whole life. After being a pet owner and volunteer my love for animals has only grown. I recently lost my dog of 10 years to cancer. I would love to have a fur friend around the house again. I recall after moving to SC I had a hard time finding a boarding facility I felt comfortable with. I understand how stressful it can be to leave a dog for any period of time, long or short. I would like to provide reliable pet services for other families with similar feelings. I will accommodate your needs to help your pet have a stress free experience while you are away. I will also help to keep you at ease through update messages and photos. I will make your pup comfy at home or can take them out to play at local parks. I do have a membership to Saluda Shoals, a great park to help your furbaby get out lots of energy. I am a caring and dependable person looking to share my love of animals and help other families who care for their fur babies as much as I do. I am an elementary school teacher who takes on the daily responsibility of caring for other peoples' children. I carry this responsibility with me into animal care as I understand many animals are just as much a part of the family as a child. In regards to my teaching, during the school year, I will only be available before and after school hours and weekends, unless a school break is in session. Please consider me to be a regular addition to your pet family. I am looking to help with dog care part time around my full time teaching schedule. I am happy to help with your pup if you need boarding, drop in visits, or dog walking. I have a private backyard, with a fenced in patio. I have long leashes and crates available if necessary. In my home your dog is going to be welcomed like my own pet, invited any where I go including the couch for a good cuddle.

About: Hi, I’m Ashley! I’ve spent my whole life around animals and currently have three cats and a dog of my own who are spoiled with love and attention. I recently got out of the military, where structure and responsibility were key—skills I now bring into the care I provide for every pet I meet. I’m experienced with pets of all ages, temperaments, and needs, and I know how important it is to feel confident that your fur baby is safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding routines, or just providing calm companionship, I treat every animal like they’re my own. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely love what I do. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time, attention, and consistency they need. Being home throughout the day means I’m available for frequent check-ins, walks, feedings, or just quality time to keep your pet feeling safe and loved. My daily routine already revolves around care and structure, so adding in pet care is a seamless fit. Whether your pet needs a calm, cozy environment or someone active and engaged, I’m able to adjust to their pace and make them feel right at home. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where animals can feel safe and relaxed. I follow each pet’s routine closely—whether that means feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, or quiet cuddle time. I make sure pets have their own comfortable space and always introduce them slowly to new surroundings to reduce stress. I also have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time and three friendly, well-behaved pets of my own who are used to sharing their space.

About: I love animals and dogs have been a part of my life for the last 20 years. I’m experienced administering medication, caring for seniors and simply having fun. I’m around full-time most weekends and early on Fridays. Monday through Thursday- in/out and not optimal for a young pup! My availability is primarily weekends. I’m super clean and will make sure the bathroom schedule is followed. While inside, we will play with toys, have nap time (if it’s a part of the plan), have meal time unless it’s free feed, etc

About: For about two years I took care of my cousin's amazing dog Cyrus. My cousin had to travel extensively, so my routine with Cyrus was fairly involved. I took him on almost daily 45 minute walks, during which Cyrus would do his best to sneak tasty poop nuggets from under my laser gaze. I fed him twice per day, adding extra carrots as necessary to fuel some afternoon rounds of golf (his favorite game). And we'd bark at a few cars if they seemed extra suspicious. I also took him on routine vet visits and nail trimmings. I've also pet sit my friend's two cats, Iris and June, when my friend was away for several days. This included keeping the food and water bowls clean and filled, as well as playing with strings (Iris's favorite), and playing hide and seek (June's favorite). Currently, I'm switching from my former profession of teaching Physics, to my future profession of Data Sciece/AI. Right now this entails a lot of sitting and studying, which gives me plenty of time and opportunity to help care for your pet. My particular modus operandi will obviously be at the discretion of the pet owner. But generally, I am comfortable feeding your fur-friend, taking them on walks/playing with them, and taking them for routine visits to the vet if necessary.
