Coastal Carolina pet care · Little River & nearby communities
Comfort for them.
Peace of mind for you.
Your pets stay safe, relaxed and happy in the place they know best. I come to your home for dependable drop-in visits and overnight care tailored to each pet’s routine.
Why in-home pet care?
Home is where pets feel most secure.
Your pet knows where the food bowl is, where the best sunny spot is, and exactly how the household sounds and smells. Keeping that familiar routine can make your time away much easier on them.
Less disruption. More comfort.
Instead of adjusting to a kennel, unfamiliar animals, and a completely different environment, your pets remain in the place they already know and love.
- Normal feeding, walking, playtime and bedtime routines
- One-on-one attention in familiar surroundings
- No crowded boarding facilities or unfamiliar pets
- Mail, packages, plants and lights can also be attended to
- Special care for senior pets and pets with individual needs

Meet Mary
Hi, I’m Mary.
I’m the heart behind Little River Pet Sitter. My love of animals began long before this business did. I have always been happiest around pets and understand how difficult it can be to leave a beloved animal in someone else’s care.
I take time to learn each pet’s personality, routine and comfort level. Some want a long walk, some want playtime, and some simply want quiet companionship. My goal is to help your pets feel safe, loved and secure until you return.
