“Lindsay is amazing!! She took very good care of my fur baby while I was on vacation for 2 weeks. He has separation anxiety and I was worried, but he did great with her. She updated me with text and pictures the entire time. I highly recommended.”
“Jonathan is communicates well and took great care of our pup! Lucky had fun and was exhausted after playing with his dogs. I will definitely book a stay with Jonathan again while in town.”
“Jennifer and family were great with our pup, he loved all of the walks and playtime and sent us great updates and pics! We will definitely use them again. Thank you!”
“Aneisy and her family took great care of Beaux! I forgot his bowl and she took care of that. She sent me pictures of him several times during his stay. He looked like he was having fun! I would highly recommend her! She did a great job watching our little fur baby!!!”
About: I’ve always had dogs and cats... My #1 goal is living in the country and having lots! I currently live in fountain inn & have one dog, so we’re getting there 😉😊 We go on lots of walks as my street is a one way in/one way out. I do not live on a busy road, and the houses are spaced out a bit in my neighborhood compared to newer construction. My land is used for lots of ball chasing & zoomies. I’m a RN of 20+ years, mother to 3, and a floral preservation artist. I recently resigned from my RN role, and stepped away from the medical field following my mother’s passing, I’ve been working on an Etsy shop, and spending the summer with my boys. Pet sitting fits into my routine as a stay at home mom/artist. Any potential RN roles in the future would be remote. My house is located on a golf course and includes one acre of land. A portion of that land is fenced directly behind my home and another portion is wide open space. We have an older dog named Esme. She is a female and spayed/microchipped. She’s a mix that came from the Humane Society in Greenville and truly the best dog I’ve ever had. She is indoor/outdoor and does not require a lead. Any guest would be able to follow her same schedule, which is to go in and out Very regularly whether on a lead or in the back fenced yard. I have plenty of space in my home if your dog is crated at night, and I also allow Esme (& yours if approved) to be on the couches in the living room. I keep them covered with regularly laundered throws Washed twice weekly and as needed.
“Cedar always has the absolute best time with Violet I don't say that lightly—she's my girl, and I’m super intentional about who I trust with her. Every time she stays with them, I can fully relax knowing she's safe, loved, and totally cared for. The updates are so sweet and thoughtful, and it's obvious how much Cedar enjoys herself. She always comes home happy, rested, and just… emotionally good. I can tell she feels at home there, and that means everything to me. Violet is grounded, consistent, and truly has that calming presence dogs just vibe with. I’m so grateful to have someone in our life who holds that kind of space for Cedar (and for me, honestly). Highly, highly recommend.”
“We have left our large, slightly anxious dog with Dorothy and Thomas twice now and we love them! They are great about sending updates and pictures, they have a wonderful large fenced-in yard, and our dog loves playing with Pepper. We will certainly be booking them again for future trips!”
About: I’ve had dogs throughout my life and love having a family pet to enjoy and care for. We have young children and are waiting a couple of years to adopt a new Dog, so would love to use this time to care for yours! I currently stay at home full time, so have a flexible schedule around my children’s activities and this seems like a great time to help others care for their pets! I have a fenced in yard and spacious house, so your fur baby will have plenty of space to feel at home! I am able to work around what they’re used to at home!
About: I’ve been around dogs since the day I was born. I’ve always had a passion about working with pets and animals. I worked at a dog boarding place for a year and have helped doggy sit friends and families pets and now I’m hoping to make a career out of it starting here. I work part time so I’m able to give plenty of attention to your fur baby. I have nothing planned after work since I work in the mornings so I take the time to take my dogs on a walk or to play with them. I have a fenced in backyard so your fur baby can play freely and I have 4 other dogs who love making new friends to play with
“AMAZING!! Kayla watched our animals for us while we were in the middle of our move, she takes amazing pictures and went above and beyond to make our animals feel at home and like family. Will definitely use her again if we need someone to watch our animals!”
About: I’ve have taken care of many animals and many different sizes. I will love your dog like my own. Leash trained dogs will be taken on a daily walks outside the fenced yard.Treat time and play time. I am available for late afternoon and evening boarding. Nights and weekends!! Times of pick up will depend on need. Most pick up will be by 7:30 am. I have a small dog at home for friend time. Fenced yard for play time , sun bathing and a create for small dogs if needed.
“Am planning an upcoming trip so did a quick day trial with Michaela. Was very happy with her love for pets, passionate care for animals, and the way my pup felt at home. Feel very comfortable about leaving him while we are away.”
“Sezja had a lot of fun during her stay with Mason and seemed really relaxed and content afterwards. We just moved to South Carolina this year and it's difficult to find reliable people to petsit when you need to attend an out of town event, but Mason made us feel so much better about leaving our fur baby behind! We will definitely utilize his services again in the future. Thanks again Mason!”
