About: With years of professional dog walking and sitting experience, I’ve cared for all manner of canines. I can handle puppies as well as senior citizens and love spending time with them giving love and getting exercise. I work from home with a flexible schedule so am able to leave periodically throughout the day to care for pets. Please be aware prior to booking that my daughter (10 months old as of April 2025) comes with me on my walks and drop ins. She rides in a backpack carrier and does not come out of it, but only request a booking with me if you and your pet and comfortable with that. I have been entrusted with clients’ homes for years and am confident and able to abide by your requests and needs. I act with respect when allowed access to a client’s home and take care to honor their wishes regarding their animals and household.
“She is very quick to respond and very kind. I feel very comfortable speaking and having her come by to walk me dog. Also very professional! She comes ready to take care of the pup and happy to answer any questions or concerns. No doubt in my mind that she’s a good fit for any dog out there!”
“Chey was an absolute godsend to my family during a last minute need for dog walking services! I contacted her about 3 days before having to go out of town and she responded promptly and was able to arrange a meet and greet the very next day. She was insanely attentive to my little pup, Gertie, for 2 weeks while I was out of town and her daily updates and pics of Gertie were personable and very much appreciated! Chey is reliable, communicative and overall an awesome resource for all of us dog owners who are over protective of our 4 legged babies. Thank you Chey!!! 💕💕”
About: Hi! My name is Sarah. I’m a work-from-home animal lover who would have 20 pets if I had the space! Alas, I only have 2 cats in-home. I would love the opportunity to spend time with and care for your furry friends. I became a pet sitter because I love spending time with animals. I can follow directions well, am detail oriented, and have cared for friends and family’s animals. I don’t play favorites on animal types - while I have cats I also love dogs and all kinds of animals! I work from home and have fluctuating workload so sometimes I am completely free and I am always able to pop out of my house in between meetings. My schedule is very flexible. I have house-sat, baby-sat, and pet-sat before so I am familiar with dropping in and holding down the fort while you are out. One of my cats is extremely fussy so I am also not intimidated by spicier animals! Am happy to provide care while giving space.
“Kaitlyn was such a blessing! We’ve searched for a good fit for our pups and she was beyond amazing. I’d book again & again. She was great at communicating and meeting our pups before the days needed. Definitely going to book in the future. Thank you so much!”
About: I am a young "retired" school teacher who loves animals. I have been dog walking and cat sitting for five years for friends and another service. I grew up with boxers and cats. I am available to dog/cat sit at my place in Summerville or I can stay at your home. I enjoy dog walking as well. I have no animals at my home so your pet will get 100% of my attention and love. I will care for your pets as if it was mine. You can trust me that your animal will be taken care of while in my care. Looking forward having your pet to walk, play with toys, or board with lots of kisses. I will love to take care of your pet! I am semi retired so I am pretty flexible. I am willing to work my schedule around your needs. I am also available on some weekends. You can trust me in your home. I will be careful to make sure your pet is safe and cared for while you are away.
“Wendy has been a great help to our household and great with our dog Bailey! She was willing to do a little meet and greet with her beforehand which was important for us! Bailey took to her right away and I know she loves her walks!”
“Saffron did amazing! She sent photos with each check-in and even made me aware of some possible health issues that should be brought to my vets attention. She was easy to communicate with and responded quickly. We will definitely use her again for our next trip.”
“We love Jabrae!! She did a meet and greet with us before the visit so we all felt comfortable. She was fantastic with communication with setting up the visit and same-day with how my dog was doing!! My dog was in such great hands!! We will definitely be using her again!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats all my life so caring for them comes to me naturally. I am very patient, even when it comes to very eager dogs. Friends and family have trusted me for years to take good care of their fur babies and I have always delivered! I am currently an all online university student, so I’ve acquired a lot more free time! I am available all day everyday and am a very flexible! I currently have two dogs, a young golden doodle and an old shelter dog, so I’m well aware of how to care for a wide range of dogs. I would say I’m very intuitive with animals and quickly learn what they like and don’t like. Also when I am given a list for care I follow it to a tee!
About: Where dogs are treated like family.I am a certified dog trainer and I am a nationally certified police K9 handler. I have worked with and taken care of high drive dogs, dogs with behavior issues and the best loving pet dogs. We love all the pups at my house and they won’t be short of attention here. My schedule allows for me to be able to take care of the pets in my care often and allows for walks and frequent potty breaks. I have a large fenced in yard and 3 fur babies of my own that can keep your fur babies company while you are away. I can crate them when needed and they will be in a comfortable environment while in my care.
“Fantastic! She’s helped me out a few times with last minute needs, and been very straight forward. She’s very communicative and a pleasure to speak with! I highly recommend her”
About: I grew up with big dogs (dobermans and rottweilers). I began dog sitting and walking in middle school and have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages. I got my first fur baby of my own, who is 10, my freshman year of college. In her prime, she was able to run seven miles, so I am happy to take your dog for a jog or long walk. My girls have also had quite a few surgeries so I have experience with post operation care and daily medication administration. We are also transitioning to the senior dog phase and dealing with arthritis and managing the stairs. I work three 12 hour shifts a week - usually Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday but have open availability the rest of the week. I use dog walkers frequently with my own girls so I understand how important flexibility is. I will follow the schedule provided and am happy to take your dog for a walk or run or just let them out. It's important to make sure all parties feel comfortable!

Sarah T.
“Sarah was the first pet sitter I've hired other than family and I have to say that she does not disappoint! I had her watch over my 5 year old black cat, Misty, while I went on a week-long trip. I was a bit anxious about it but that was short-lived because Sarah was so on top of everything and even went above and beyond at times. She made sure to send updates and even pictures at times. She not only made sure my cat was safe and fed but she played with her and kept her company. Sorry for the ramble but I would 100% recommend her to anyone who loves their fur baby to bits.”
