About: I have three cats named Melee, Fresco and Libby. I’ve had gerbils, rabbits, fish, gecko, and a teacup poodle named Chip and a cat named Snowflake. I volunteered at Peggy Adams animal shelter and Humane Society. Currently I volunteer with owls nest sanctuary. I use to work at a vet office as a receptionist and Petco as a dog washer. Often I will petsit for friends and family. I work full time remote from home but have a very flexible work schedule and could spend the day at someone’s place while working or do a few visits daily if close by my home. I only able to do home visits as my kitties may not be happy if I brought a visitor over. I maybe able to do some overnights. Flexible during the week and most weekends.
“Kelli has been an absolute Godsend to me and my pups life! Her communication is 10/10! As an owner of an older pup, my dog has been through some changes with her body. Kelli has been more than a helping hand when it comes to helping her stand up, making sure she goes potty safely, giving medication or cleaning a wound! She is extremely friendly, easy to reach out to and I know my pup absolutely loves spending time with her. I am so lucky to have found someone who truly cares about my pups wellbeing and is flexible!! Thank you for everything you have done for us, we appreciate you!”
“Elly was absolutely amazing with my 2 dogs. Great communication and my dogs loved her. She helped me out immensely with a barking issue I was having with one of them (just moved to a new place and 1 of the 2 was having some separation anxiety at night). She knew just what to do! I would definitely have hire her again in a heartbeat!”
About: Hi there! My name is Jennifer , and caring for animals has been at the heart of my life for over 30 years. I've owned and loved both cats and dogs since 1993, and for the past 13 years, I've proudly served as the Cat Foster Coordinator for St. Francis Society Animal Rescue - five of those years as Vice President of the organization as well. During this time, i've personally fostered over 1100 kittens and cats and successfully placed them in loving forever homes. I've also fostered several dogs, and I care deeply for animals of all species, sizes, and personalities. In addition to daily care, I have extensive experience with medical needs. I can administer subcutaneous fluids, vaccines, oral and injectable medications, and have provided specialized care for two cats with megaesophagus. I've managed post-operative recover for animals after leg and tail amputations, eye enucleations, spay/neuters, and more. I'm confident and calm with both routine and complex care, and I always prioritize comfort, safety, and gentle handling. My goal as a pet sitter is simple: to treat your pets like I treat my own - with love, patience, and attention to detail. Whether you have a playful pup, a shy senior, or a kitty with extra medical needs, i'm here to help you feel confident they're in caring, capable hands. Pet care is a central part of my daily life - it's not something I squeeze in , it's something I've built my schedule around. With years of experience caring for both my own animals and others', I've developed a routine that prioritizes timely feedings, walks, medications, and play or cuddle time. I'm used to mornings, afternoons, and evenings and am flexible based on each pet's needs. When caring for pets in their own environment, i respect their routines, space, and comfort. I follow all instructions carefully - from feeding schedules and medications to favorite toys and walk routes. I provide companionship, keep everything clean and tidy, and send regular updates with photos so you know your pets are safe and loved. I'm calm, confident, and experienced with a variety of temperaments, including shy cats and energetic dogs.
“Regina is a very experienced dog walker/pet sitter. Her professionalism is apparent from her first visit. She is not someone who walks dogs to make a few bucks...this is a business she takes very seriously. My dog very much enjoys her daily visits and is very excited when Regina arrives. She makes us aware of any concerns she may have with my dogs heath or if there is any concerns at my house during the visit, which gives me peace of mind. I recommend Regina to anyone looking for a professional and reliable caregiver for their pet.”
“We had a great experience with Karen she was very communicative throughout Russell’s walk sending pictures and updates throughout the day. We appreciate Karen coming out to give our puppy some activity throughout the day.”
About: I’ve been dog sitting for around seven years now. I have experience with dog walking and extended drop-ins. I love to bond with each pet I care for! I can care for your pet during both the weekdays and weekends! I can do drop-ins or walks in the a.m. and p.m. I recently graduated, so I will be available a lot over the summer :) I will respect your routine and utilize the resources that are made available to me when caring for your pet! I will always keep the house picked up before leaving.
“Anastasiia was amazing accommodating my last minute request for walks while I worked. We scheduled a meet and greet and my dog instantly loved her, and he can be a piece of work with some people. 10/10 recommend. Thank you!!!”
About: In Feb I lost my best friend of 14 years, his name was Copper, a brittany spaniel. I could never replace him but am now ready to share some spare time with new furry friends. I will be able to give not only exercise, but also play and affection to your pet, tire him or her out for you. As a child, my family pet was a poodle, as a young adult, I had a wonderful German Shepard. I have many years experience with many breeds, love to walk outdoors and have a flexible work from home schedule so I can be available on occasion or consistent care for your loved one(s). Reach out to me for help in the Fort Mill or Tega Cay area.
About: I build trust with even shy or nervous pets I treat every pet with intention—not just supervision, but real care I’m detail-oriented with routines, feeding, medications, and schedules I’m extremely patient and gentle with jumpy or energetic dogs I always send updates so you feel connected I just finished my senior season at ball state I am moving back to Tampa to train for the NFL Draft and looking to care for dogs on my down time. When caring for dogs in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine and environment as familiar and comfortable as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, and bedtime schedules exactly as instructed, and I take time to understand each dog’s personality so they feel safe and at ease with me. I always respect the home—keeping things clean, secure, and exactly how I found them—while maintaining strong safety practices like double-checking doors and gates, monitoring behavior, and keeping dogs leashed unless in a fenced area. I provide plenty of love, playtime, and enrichment to help them feel supported, and I keep you updated with clear messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to give your dog reliable, loving care and to give you total peace of mind while you’re away.
“Pamela has been such a blessing to Sophie and me, since I work so much. She is always reliable, on time, sweet, loving, communicative and really anything a person could ever want in a dog sitter, Highly recommend!”
About: Hi 👋 my name is Lana and I love dogs. I had a white Labrador of my own, I trained her, we were attending dog shows, she was my best friend and a member of our family. Then I married a military guy, lived all over the world and every place I’ve lived in I had dogs (maybe not owning, but taking care for sure ☺️) I have an 11 year old daughter and she has my passion for dogs! We moved here a little over a year ago, bought a house and we’re so ready to take care of your little ones! I will be the best walker and a host for your dog, because dogs become a part of the family in our house. We will provide loving care for dogs and cats, making sure they feel at home in our cozy, pet-friendly house. With plenty of space to roam, rest, and play, your furry friends will feel relaxed and happy during their stay. I can offer long, enjoyable walks to all the dogs in my care—exploring the neighborhood and getting plenty of fresh air and exercise, we have doggie parks around too, so we an go there and meet new friends! I also understand that each pet has unique needs, so I’m happy to administer any medications and follow any special instructions you provide. Throughout their time with me, I’ll keep you updated with lots of pictures and messages so you can see just how well they’re doing and feel at ease. They aren’t just guests, they become a part of our family, and we treat them with the love and attention they deserve. I'm open to any kind of dogs, but of course prefer well behaved ones 😁 I'm a stay at home mom so your dogs will always have a friend at home or outside :) Our house is clean and neat, no shoes are allowed at home and I always use a vacuum for pets to vacuum our carpets. Thanks for reading and hope to meet with you and your doggy soon! I’m a stay at home mom now, so your doggie will be happy and have a company all day ☺️ I can walk with the dog 3 times a day, if needed - more. We have a fenced yard. Also we have a large crate if your doggie prefers to sleep there or feels more comfortable at night. Usually we don’t use it. But I know a lot of doggie parents train their dogs to stay in a crate so they feel more relaxed there…

Daria has been great! She came over to meet with our dog (who has stranger danger) before their first walk so she was comfortable the first time. We get adorable photos while on their walk and to ensure she is home safely. My husband and I know we can count on Daria on some of our longer work days and we are so grateful she takes such good care of our fur baby ❤️
Elly was absolutely amazing with my 2 dogs. Great communication and my dogs loved her. She helped me out immensely with a barking issue I was having with one of them (just moved to a new place and 1 of the 2 was having some separation anxiety at night). She knew just what to do! I would definitely have hire her again in a heartbeat!
