After watching the pets of friends and relatives for many years, I officially started pet sitting on Rover.com in July of 2019. Then I founded and opened Starnes Pet Services in January of 2020.

You can trust me to provide a safe, comfortable, fun, and healthy environment for your furry friend. Whether it's taking them for walks, coming by to feed them, or providing at-home care, I will watch over your pet as if it were one of my own. I am proud and honored to serve the surrounding communities of Prosperity, Little Mountain, Pomaria, Newberry, and Chapin in South Carolina. Many of you know that I specialize in cats/kittens, but I also have experience with dogs and am also open to working with other types of animals. Please share with your family and friends in the surrounding area if you ever need a pet sitter/boarder throughout the week, weekends, or holidays! To contact me by email, just send me a message here: StarnesPetServices@yahoo.com Ask how to get $20 off your first booking with me. I am VERY excited about meeting all of your sweet furbabies!

We had a 4-day trip and needed someone to watch our senior dogs. We tried boarding before and will…read morenever do it again (they never notified us that our dog was NOT eating for the entire week we were away and we came home to skin and bones). We knew we needed to have our pets in the comfort of their home with someone to feed and exercise them. It's nice to have family and friends to help, but you also don't want to inconvenience them. This is where Dawn from All Fur the Luv of Paws came into the picture. After meeting her during the consultation, we felt very comfortable leaving our babies with her, which we did. She was very thorough and was also in constant contact with us during our vacation. One of our dogs is a picky eater and she went out of her way to try anything to make him eat. We are happy to announce that we did not come home to skin and bones this time around. Lastly, we have cameras in the house, but it was nice to get picture updates via text messages regarding whether they ate, about their walks, etc. We used to worry about our dogs when we would go on vacations, but not anymore. We will now use Dawn to watch our babies and would recommend her in a heartbeat.

She asked great questions and took copious notes. Every day we got a timely report and pictures to show how everything was going. Could not have asked for a better experience--especially for such a reasonable price (based on the length of stay each day; we opted for 30 minutes). She also took in the mail, attended to cat boxes when needed, and handled the outside trash cans. Wonderful experience and we will use again!

I had originally hired another national pet service to care for my two cats while I was out of town…read morebecause I had used this service before and was thrilled! This time, my sitter did not show up on time, And texted me that she was running a few minutes late...That's fine, things happen! Two hours later, she still had not arrived, which is significant because one of my cats needs to have insulin at a very particular time. I am lucky I give her the shot at the appropriate time, and we left for our trip, for which we were now several hours behind. The Sitter said she would contact the company and get somebody else to cover for her for the rest of my trip. She never did it, so I called the company 30 minutes later, which was the grace period I gave her to take care of the problem. The company said that they would find somebody for the rest of the trip. They did not. I contacted Kelly's Pet Services, and they were on the job immediately! Todd S, one of the owners went to my house, himself, within a few minutes. He checked on both cats, and the diabetic cat hissed at him, which I expected. Because it was not the time of day for her injection, Todd checked on the cats and went back for my kitty's nighttime injection. Todd returned throughout my time away, and was successful in giving my Kitty her insulin injection and in feeding both kitties. Of course, he cleaned the litter box, and even brought my mail in! What amazed me even more was that when I got my invoice upon returning home, the charge was much, much less than the national company I had hired originally to care for my cats. Todd's communication skills were beyond the call of duty. He texted me continually, providing photographs of my diabetic Kitty and letting me know how both cats were doing. I will never use another pet service again! Kelly's Pet Services is the best! They came through for me and my sweet kitty when I was desperate! My cat would have died had not been there to help, as returning home from Louisiana to North Carolina would have been impossible to get there in time for her injection!

We have consistently used this lovely pet resort over the years and will continue to do so…read more Our 15 year old pup always leaves us without a backward glance and comes out of the kennels happy to see us. We used to have 2 dogs and are now down to one - both of them are rescues and suffer from separation anxiety issues. Happy to say that both of them were fine going into this facility and fine coming out. Our surviving dog has had short and extended stay and has come home happy from both types of boarding. She has a spa day before returning home and seems to really love her routine and pamper session while there. She can be a smelly little old girl, so really appreciate that her bath from the groomers there lasts longer than any other place. During a power outage after bad weather a few years back, they regularly kept us updated on how they were taking care of the pets in general. We really appreciated the updates as were unable to go and fetch her early. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. This is a top notch facility and highly recommend them.

We moved from New Jersey and were looking for quality vet care for our baby. Dr. Rickman has been…read moretaking care of our animal baby for about 4 years now. On October 14, 2025 we had to put asleep our 14.5 year dog. He was my life. It was the hardest thing we ever had to do. I still cry everyday over it. Dr. Rickman and the staff were so caring about our needs and feelings. My husband and I were extremely devastated over our loss. Dr. Rickman personally sent us a sympathy card with a sincere handwritten note to us. It meant the absolute world to my husband and myself. Since then we added a puppy to our family. Dr. Rickman just neutered him 2 weeks ago and the surgery went flawlessly. Dr. Rickman and the entire staff was there for us from start to finish. You are not just a random person when you walk through their door. They answered all my hundreds of questions and concerns with such attentiveness. I think it is very important that my veterinarian actually knows me and my animal. Not just from a file. Dr. Rickman is absolutely a genius, a brilliant surgeon, and really cares for the animals. He knows I am a super anxious person and I only want what's best for my baby. He always puts my fears at bay and ALWAYS provides me the truth, even if I don't like the answer. To me, that is how a vet should be. If you are contemplating on switching to Dutch Fork, do yourself a favor and do it. We have only seen Dr. Rickman at Dutch Fork (Except if he was away or in an absolute emergency). I am sure that all the vets are just as attentive and committed as he is. But we will be sticking with Dr. Rickman wherever he goes.

Only when I call do they tell me that they're unable to do anything with him and give me no answers. I don't doubt that they care about the animals that are brought in, but they have failed me many times. When I bring my cat to other vets they have no problems with him. They also prescribed an unnecessarily high dose of gabapentin to "calm him down" that is not recommended by any standards and upon giving it to him he has had horrible side effects that has left me even more stressed. Shame that I trusted a vets opinion.
