“I was out of town when the hurricane hit, and Chloe took the time regularly every day to keep me updated on how she and my pets were doing. Its so nice to know she was alright and that my pets were well taken care of...my neighbors and she kept in touch as well in case she needed help.. Thanks Chloe!!!”


“Heather was GREAT!!! It was our first time leaving our dog Alfie in over a year and I was feeling just as anxious as him! I knew when Heather stopped over for the meet and great she would do so good with him! Over our weekend away, she sent several pictures and texts knowing everything was ok at home. I really feel that she comforted and cared for my Alfie like he was her own. I would definitely recommend her! She went above and beyond in every way!”


“Valarie was wonderful in watching my Furbabies. She sent pictures on several occasions to keep me updated on the furbabies and let me know when she arrived and when they all were settling into bed for the night and upon leaving. I would 100% book her again and recommend her services. Thank you Valarie!”


“Rachel was awesome staying with our dog. She took a bunch of photos and was making sure he was comfortable. We couldn't have asked for a better person to watch our dog. She stayed at our home for 2 nights and was the best dog sitter we have had :).”


About: I’ve always had pets growing up and some would say I prefer animals over people. I’ve been involved in rescue since 2004 and have seen firsthand just how cruel people can be. As a former vet tech, I promise to take care of your babies just like my own. You have nothing to worry about while you’re away. Lots of check ins, photos and love! I do work full time M-F but am available before and after work. Depending on location, a quick trip at lunch to say hi may work too. I’m totally available on weekends. while visiting your home, your kiddos will be safe with me. Whether it’s playing in a fenced yard or on leash, They will get all the exercise they need.

“Sasha did a wonderful job with my small dog Ellie. She stayed at the house and the house was in fabulous shape and I was not worried at all. She is very mature and responsible. I am looking forward to using her again.”


“She did an amazing job with our two dogs. She stayed overnight & the house looked exactly how we left it & she cleaned up dog poop. 😆 We will definitely have her watch them again when we need.”


“Riley was fantastic. She stayed over night with our two dogs and we could tell that they didn’t miss a beat. She was very thoughtful, kept the house clean and even put the sheets in the laundry room. We will definitely use her again.”


“MicKayla was great — she was on time everyday, sent pictures, stayed in contact with us with any updates or questions and came home to our pets being happy in house the way we left it — highly recommend to anyone and we will be booking again with her next time”


“Whitney was WONDERFUL. She accommodated our request to let her dogs meet her before she house sat for us and the whole weekend she was here she sent us picture updates of the dogs. When we got back the dogs were so content and happy, the house literally looked the same as we left it, and she brought packages in off the porch for us. All the dogs got all their meds and were very happy, we’ll be using Whitney again in the future!”


“Elizabeth was great! When she stayed my older dog was having some health issues. Elizabeth kept me up to date and administered all his meds and food accommodations perfectly. She sent a ton of updates which included photos and videos. She even washed my sheets for me so I came home to a clean bed. Will be using her again!”


“Haley did a great job taking care of our dogs for a week while we were out of town. She took them on several walks despite the Columbia heat in July. I could tell they were well loved from the pictures she sent while we were away. She also was very helpful with a water issue we had at the house while we were gone. Definitely would use her in the future!”


About: I lost my sweet Clark (Yorkie/Chihuahua) in 2019. During the time he was with me, I also was the caregiver for my daughter's 2 dogs and a cat whenever they were away from home. I also was the main caregiver for a friend's 2 Bichons while they were away on vacations. It was a happy mix though Clark was a little intimidated by the Bichon brother and sister, we managed to find a way for everyone to be happy. I do not have a dog at the moment. I would do my best to make sure your sweet baby, felt secure and loved. I would make myself available according to their needs. I do not have any pets at the moment. I had a small Yorkie/Chihuahua mix (Clark) for 10 years before he passed from age related illness. I miss him. I would love to care for your sweet baby with lots of affection, play and walks.

“This was our second time using Ken. He is so great and attentive with Chewy and tolerates all of our questions about how she’s doing which is very much appreciated. He is very understanding of her anxiety and general weirdness. It is such a blessing to be able to confidently leave her in his care and not have to be concerned about a single thing.”


“Emily was so sweet to our dog, Odin! In the pictures she sent, he looked so relaxed and happy, which just warms my heart and makes me feel better about leaving him with a Rover sitter. Emily was communicative and left our house in great condition. We look forward to having her sit again soon!”


“Katherine M. did great with our older Jack Russell terrier mix and his younger buddy Finn (straight haired labradoodle). She let them out twice a day at our home (potty, food, play and love). They seemed very happy and all the picture updates from Katherine were showing them loved and well cared for. We plan to use her again and have already recommended her services to our Realtor.”

Monica H.
“Greetings! Listen up fur parents. You can't trust your fur babies with just anyone. So, let me tell you a little bit about my friend, Monica. She's the perfect individual to care for your little loves. Her heart is huge when it comes to her own fur babies, therefore I know she will be attentive and loving toward yours. She's punctual and committed. Most of all you can trust that your pet(s) will be safe and well taken care of while in her care. Give her a try! Happy barking, Lee”
