Happy Paws Pet Sitting covers much of Greenville County in Upstate South Carolina. Please include address so that we can make you aware if we have sitters in your area. We keep our sitters close to home and other clients to conserve on gas. 

If you are a new client it is better to book far enough in advance to set up a meet and greet to ensure the pet is comfortable with their sitter. Our online system allows you to make appointments 24 hours a day/365 days a year. If you need service less than a 24 hour notice please text HPPS directly at 864-735-8502.

We require you to have a credit card on file since payment is due before the requested services begin and prepay when you are setting up for the visits/walks. If you would prefer to pay through Venmo or with a check please contact us to get that set up before the service dates.

Our sitters are available from 7am-9pm. You can schedule services Early Morning 7am-9am Mid Morning 9am-12pm Afternoon 12pm-4pm Evening 6pm-9pm. Overnights are also available and include 10 hours overnight from 9pm to 7am. Extended care stays are round the clock care while you are away. Holidays have limited availability and fill up very quickly. There is also a holiday fee on holidays and the days surrounding those holidays.  

YES! Our staff is able to give oral and topical medication, as well as, administer fluids and injectable medication to your pets. You are always welcome to show what you have shown to be easier for your pet to reduce stress on your pet.

A meet and greet is the initial meeting between client, sitter and pet. The sitter will go over instructions per owner for daily care of the pet. They will ask questions to make sure everyone is on the same page. They will present our medication chart is pets are on medication. If you have forgotten to include anything on the site for daily care this is the time to let the sitter know.

For safety reasons, such as leaks, break ins, etc, cats and pocket pets such as rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters and birds are required at least one visit a day. For dogs, liability AND health reasons the minimum amount of visits when the owner is out of town is 2 (1 every 12 hours). This is to prevent health issues such as UTI, constipation, and other internal ailments. We are also present in case something happens at the house while the owner is gone such as roof leak or the animal has gotten hurt. For daily walks and drop-ins 1 visit a day is acceptable when the owner is home (in town). 

We ask that you only allow us access to the property while you are gone to minimize confusion and risk.  For liability reasons, we are unable to job-share with other pet-care givers during your absence, i.e., other non-Happy Paws Pet Sitting pet sitters, your friends, family, neighbors, etc. Once you retain Happy Paws Pet Sitting to care for your animals, we are then legally responsible for their care. Any introduction of other caretakers or persons into your household during your absence will result in our inability to continue care. If you think your situation is unique, please let us know prior to your departure and we'll be happy to discuss it with you. If it is determined that another person will be job sharing, all liability of Happy Paws Pet Sitting will be waived.

In addition to our traditional services we also are able to take your pet to the vet in case something were to happen. This is why we request that you let your vet know that you are going out of town and have a pet sitter in case they can't get a hold of you for approval. We are more than happy to also hold for the livestock vet as well if that is needed. Please have an emergency contact on file in case we need further assistance and can't get a hold of you. Happy Paws Upstate also works closely with Vet Chat Now, a mobile vet that will come to you and your pet at home.
