An estimated 1 million dogs in the US have
been named the primary beneficiary in their
owner's will. |

The oldest known breed of dog is the Saluki,
which in Arabic means "Noble One." These
dogs were raised as hunting dogs by the
Ancient Egyptians. |

French poodles did not originate in France.
Poodles were originally used as hunting dogs
in Europe. The dogs' thick coats were a
hindrance in water and thick brush, so
hunters sheared the hindquarters, with cuffs
left around the ankles and hips to protect
against rheumatism. Each hunter marked his
dogs' heads with ribbon of his own color,
allowing groups of hunters to tell their
dogs apart. |

Carolina
Pet Sitters (CPS) is a specialized pet and home care
service offering a full range of options
for all of your home and pet care needs. CPS
was founded by Kim and Miller Huntley in
November 1999. We are
both college graduates (USC & The Citadel) who love
all types of animals...(except snakes!!!!) We
have lived and worked in Columbia since the mid 90s.
We have two children: Hannah (born in 2000)
and Harrison (born in 2003), and we're also the
proud parents of THREE FUR BABIES: Darby,
Tinkerbell and Shelby.
Before we started our pet
sitting business, we would always take care of many
of our friend's, relative's, and even neighbor's
pets when they would go away for either a long
vacation or a short weekend get-away. In 1999,
a friend of ours suggested that we start a pet
sitting business. After thinking of the
possibilities and doing some research about pet
sitting, we decided to 'Go For It'. We saw a
great need for an alternative way to care for pets
in their own home as well as the added benefit of
watching over the home itself. Having an “odd”
dog of our own, Vivi (died in 2003), we knew the
heartache that some pet owners go through when they
have to leave their pets at a kennel. Some
pets do fine at kennels, but there are many pets
that get VERY confused and stressed out. Some
pets are better off staying in their own
environment. Carolina Pet Sitters wants to
help those pet owners have peace of mind when they
have to leave their pets.
We
are dedicated to providing your pets with the best
possible care while you are away. We are
bonded, insured, and licensed for business. We
have numerous years of experience caring for all
types of pets. We also have references that
you are welcomed to contact regarding our service.
We will come to your home and follow your
instructions for your pet's care. Our visits

medications, playing, petting, loving them, cleaning
out litter boxes, cleaning up any accidents, taking
dogs out for breaks, extended dog walks, plant care,
changing lights & blinds, picking up the mail and
newspaper, and any other special requests.
We strive to
care for our customer's pets as if they were our
own. CUSTOMER SATISFACTION AND QUALITY
PET CARE are extremely
important to us. We
do our best to give your pets the attention they
deserve while you are away!
We want our customers to feel
secure and confident in us. We hope you decide to use our service. We are looking forward to
