About: **small dogs only** I am a recently retired teacher and I am willing to watch your precious pup at my home or stay at your home for an additional fee while you are away. My home is in the Irmo area, and I will watch and love your dog as I did my own morkie, Izzie who, sadly, passed away in September 2023, and our recently adopted 4-year-old Shih-Tzu Gus. We walk on leash only, have a fenced yard, a nice neighborhood to walk, and parks nearby. There will be plenty of play time, nap time, and fresh air. I understand how your pup is your baby, and I will provide the same attention and love you give. I only keep one client’s pups at a time so I can provide that undivided attention they need. My lap is ready for your pup, and belly rubs and snuggles are my specialty. Contact me to discuss pet/house sitting or arrange a meet & greet if you’d be more comfortable before booking. I am retired as of 5/31/24 and have plenty of time and love for your fur baby. I will stay in contact with you and provide pictures and video, whatever you desire. I have a fenced yard and plenty of room inside my house and my heart. I will administer meds if needed and stay in touch with you as you desire.
About: Hello I’m Lia! With nine years of dedicated pet care experience, I offer comprehensive and compassionate service for your beloved companions. My expertise includes the oral administration of medication, ensuring your pet's health needs are met with precision. I'm also proficient in baths and brushing, keeping them comfortable and well-groomed. What truly sets me apart is my ability to handle emergencies such as seizures and choking, providing crucial peace of mind. During my college years, I gained three years of valuable boarding experience, comfortably hosting pets in my home. As a highly active individual, I love taking dogs out for extended playtime and walks, ensuring they get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. I have no limitations on breed or size, as I believe all dogs are, at heart, still sweet puppies deserving of love and attentive care. I am currently on Summer break so I have plenty of time to spend with your fur-baby! I am available for house sitting, drop-ins, and daily dog walking. On Sundays I won’t be available until the afternoon. When caring for pets in your home I will respect their routines and carefully follow the provided instructions. I value integrity and will always have respect for your home.
About: I love animals and dogs have been a part of my life for the last 20 years. I’m experienced administering medication, caring for seniors and simply having fun. I’m around full-time most weekends and early on Fridays. Monday through Thursday- in/out and not optimal for a young pup! My availability is primarily weekends. I’m super clean and will make sure the bathroom schedule is followed. While inside, we will play with toys, have nap time (if it’s a part of the plan), have meal time unless it’s free feed, etc

Ladarah D.
“Having known Ladarah Daniels for several years now, I can confidently say that she would be an amazing sitter to and for any dog owner. I have used her quite a few times to care for my dogs, and each time she has done a remarkable job. I truly believe that she goes above and beyond in every aspect. Having seen her with not only my dogs, but her own as well, I do not believe there is a dog that Ladarah couldn’t handle. She has proven many times to be a dependable and reliable person, no matter the situation. Your dog will be in the best of hands with Ladarah Daniels. The best part is she treats each animal she encounters as her own!”
