About: Hi there! I’m Sidney! A lifelong animal lover with more than 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, personalities, and needs. My own little family includes 1 dog and 3 cats, so I truly understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I have a special soft spot for senior dogs and special-needs cats, and I’m experienced in providing patient, attentive care tailored to each pet’s comfort level and routine. Whether your pet needs a slower-paced walk, extra encouragement, medication support, or mobility accommodations, I’m committed to making them feel safe, loved, and stress-free. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for someone else’s pets. I treat every animal as if they were my own and pay close attention to leash safety, body language, routines, and individual needs. I’ll always keep you updated so you can feel confident your pet is in capable hands. Walks are one of my favorite parts of pet care! Whether your pup enjoys a relaxed neighborhood stroll, a sniff-filled adventure, or a more active outing, I’ll make sure they get the exercise, enrichment, and attention they deserve at a pace that’s right for them. I’d love to get to know you and your pets and create a care routine that keeps them happy, healthy, and comfortable! I currently work part-time, and I'm usually home around 3-4 pm for all of your dogs' evening needs. I work downtown, which allows me to walk to your home as soon as I'm off work. I love going on hot girl walks with my own pup and would enjoy meeting and becoming BFFs with your dogs so we can go on all the hot girl walks together! I care for pets in their home by keeping their routine as consistent, comfortable, and stress-free as possible. Whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, medications, or lots of cuddles, I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs and personality. Safety and trust are extremely important to me, and I always treat both pets and homes with the same care and respect I would my own.
“Kyle was our dog and house sitter for 9 nights and it was great! Our 2 dogs bonded with him immediately. He is professional, friendly, conscientious, and caring! He helped us solve an issue with one of our dogs who can be a little apprehensive sometimes. Our home was well kept while we were away. He even replaced the ice cream he ate which wasn’t necessary! Haha! Kyle communicated via text everyday, took in our mail, fed our backyard birds everyday and much more. We are thankful we found Kyle! He’s the BEST!”

“We have booked Alexis to house sit for our dog, Burton, more than once, and we definitely plan on booking her again in the future! Took great care of our pup and house!”

“Katherine did an outstanding job staying in our home with our 80 pound greyhound and tabby cat! They loved her company and felt comfortable with her from the minute they met her! She did everything we asked and gave us so much peace of mind. Her love of fur babies shines through. We're looking forward to having her stay with our pets again soon!”

“Emily was absolutely wonderful! They were reliable, communicative, and took such great care of my dog. I came home to a happy, relaxed pup and could tell they had been well-loved and cared for. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi, I'm Stephen — a marathon runner and fitness professional with over 25 years of experience with dogs. Running and walking dogs is my job, not a side gig. My sessions are energetic and paced to keep your pup engaged from start to finish. Every session ends with a route photo so you know exactly where, and how far, we went. If you're interested in runs rather than walks, they are available at a slightly higher rate. I'm out with dogs six days a week. I also run regularly myself. I put a lot of miles in and love it. Clients get consistent pickup windows and I communicate any changes in advance. Your dog's safety is always the priority. I keep walks and runs controlled, stay aware of the environment, and adjust pace and route based on how your pup is feeling that day.
“Kaitlyn was great at communicating and keeping in the loop with everything that was going on with the animals. This was my first time using her services but it won’t be the last!”

“Jennifer was amazing! She took care of my dog and cat while I was away. I have a very nervous natured dog and Jennifer did so good at earning her trust and they hit it off after no time. She made it easy for me leave town knowing my girls were being taken care of. I would highly recommend Jennifer and will certainly be using her again in the future!”

“Grey -aka Bethany- was great! I felt confident that my furbabies were being loved on and safe with them. They were very responsive to my anxious fur-mom self and sent pictures through the time booked. Looking forward to working with them again!”

“Sara did an amazing job with our pups giving us updates throughout her stay, and with our home. Everything that was asked of her was done to perfection and we couldn't of have any one better to watch our little babies.”

“Natalie is a fantastic sitter. Not just great with the pups, but keeps a clean home. Comes well prepared and know dogs as well as anyone I know. She's on the short list of best dog sitter's in the region for sure.”

“Lucy was great! She Provided updates of our pups via text and pictures and kept them company while we were gone. Would definitely ask her to house sit and dog sit again. It gives a great peace of mind when you know your pups are safe. Thanks Lucy!!”

“Rebecca was amazing with my dogs. It's difficult to trust someone with your babies but it didn't feel like that with Rebecca. She understood my and my dogs needs. And took care of them to get best. My babies were happy and comfortable.”

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience with difficult breeds, anxious dogs, and intensive medical care. I just recently had to say goodbye to my own dog a few months ago and saw him through many complex medical treatments, which has made me highly attentive, patient, and confident following detailed care routines. I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring mobility or behavioral changes, and adapting care based on each dog’s needs. I truly love dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, and I always prioritize safety, consistency, and compassion. Pet care used to be apart of my everyday routine and it's something I miss very much. Because I manage my own schedule, I’m able to be flexible while still providing consistent, dependable care. For drop-in visits and walks, I focus on following each pet’s routine as closely as possible. I take time to understand feeding schedules, walking preferences, leash behavior, and any special instructions ahead of time. During visits, I prioritize safety, calm energy, and attentive care, while also checking food, water, litter boxes (if applicable), and the home environment. I always provide updates, photos, and notes so pet parents know how their pet is doing.
Wilmington Island pet parents share their Rover experiences
Sidney took amazing care of our dog and cat! The dog clearly loved her so much that I worried he wanted to live with her instead of us! She was super communicative, sending pix and videos throughout the day. The house looked great when we came home and the pets were happy and healthy. Thanks Sidney!
