Hi. I'm Kim Spyridon, the owner of Two Tails Up dog walking and pet sitting service.
Picking the right dog and cat care provider is an important decision and there are many pet care options out there. I am an experienced dog walker, dog care and cat care provider. After 21 years spent in advertising and insurance, and many years spent raising a family, I decided that it was time to do what I loved most and went for it. After leaving insurance I worked for three local dog daycare facilities and a veterinarian's office to acquire experience in caring for dogs and cats, then made the decision to launch my company Two Tails Up, LLC™ serving the communities of Tega Cay, Fort Mill (including surrounding neighborhoods such as Baxter Village, Knightsbridge, Regent Park, Lake Ridge and Waterstone) and Rock Hill, South Carolina.
I have owned and worked with dogs and cats my entire life and would love the opportunity to be your furry family member's second best friend! I have experience with a wide variety of breeds and am certified in force-free, science-based dog training, so I can practice your dog's cues and refine behavior skills while spending time with your pup (for more information see "Value Added Services" below). I am also trained in Pet CPR, First Aid and Care through Pet Tech. This training has given me the knowledge and skills to care for an injured or sick animal and provides my clients the added sense of security knowing they have left their dog or cat in the hands of a professional, caring and first aid trained pet care provider.
Finally, Two Tails Up, LLC™ is a Better Business Bureau Accredited Business and a proud member of Pet Sitters International and The Pet Professional Guild. Established in 1994, Pet Sitters International is the world’s largest educational association for professional pet sitters. The Pet Professional Guild is a membership organization representing pet industry professionals who are committed to positive reinforcement, force-free training and pet care. As a Pet Professional Guild member, we understand force-free to mean that No Shock, No Pain, No Choke, No Fear, No Physical Force, and No Compulsion Based Methods are ever employed to train or care for a pet entrusted to our care.
Since your furry friends are not able to join you on every outing and adventure, we would love to give them the care they need when you are unable to. Schedule a complimentary in-home Meet & Greet consultation below and let’s get acquainted!
Our pets are entrusted to us by God.
They are special and deserving of our love and care. It has been said that a dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself.
We at Two Tails Up agree!
On behalf of all pets everywhere ... read "My Solemn Vow"
It is our mission to provide the same love and care for your pet as they get from you and your family and provide peace of mind when you can’t be home to take care of their needs yourself. At Two Tails Up, we treat every dog and cat entrusted to our care as if they were our own, and while doing so, perhaps make their behavior and manners just a little bit better!
Behavioral science research clearly shows that a dog learns more quickly and effectively when they are rewarded for good behaviors, not punished for bad ones. At Two Tails Up, we do more than just walk and care for dogs. We work with every client to create a custom personalized positive reinforcement, rewards-based / force-free behavior plan for their dog that will be followed at every visit!
Kim is the most professional animal sitter I've encountered. She has multiple certifications, and is competent in her field. Because she exemplifies caring toward animals in a way that is compassionate, and kind, I feel complete trust in her, with my fur babies. She communicates in a way that is warm. I trust her and highly recommend her for anyone who is considering care for your whole family.Tega Cay, SC
We used Kim to take care of Jagger our Newfoundland dog and she was fabulous! She sent daily pictures of him and made reports of his well being and eating as it was his first time alone. We could not have been more pleased and the assurance she offered helped our vacation become even more enjoyable. We would not hesitate to recommend Kim’s services to anyone and will most certainly be calling on her again. Thank you so much!Fort Mill, SC
Kim was fantastic with our elderly small dog! She took the time to meet and greet with her before we left town, she made sure our girl had her medications on time and met all of her needs. She also made great suggestions and was thoughtful and careful when she was with her. She even gave us updates and pictures after each visit to keep our minds at ease! Thank you Kim! We will be forever customers!Tega Cay, SC
Two Tails Up took care of my special needs cat with diabetes over the Thanksgiving holiday. I cannot say enough good things about the service, the caring people, or the fact that I had no concerns whatsoever about the welfare of my cats. We have really needed a business like this in the area for a very long time. I highly recommend and will continue to recommend them to everyone with a pet.Lake Wylie, SC
A new puppy has it’s challenges, but Kim’s sessions helped right away. She was very informative in explaining her techniques and they immediately grabbed the attention of our Winnie and had her responding to commands right way! Our only regret is that we wish we had started sooner!Tega Cay, SC
Absolutely the best! Kim was nothing short of amazing. Our first time leaving our dogs and we were extremely nervous. We were updated every visit and sent photos of our pups.Rock Hill, SC
I love my 2 furbabies. They are large and bullish, and can be a bit to handle. I have used a K9 organization before. But Kim Spyridon can handle my babies gently and with love and bonding, getting their attention and helping them understand. I highly recommend her dog services.Tega Cay, SC
Mischievous cute toddlers, I mean Boston Terriers ...Fort Mill, SC
No problem! Practicing come, wait, off and go to your place with Kim has really made a difference! Kim is an experienced and knowledgeable dog lover who makes learning fun! Thanks Kim!
Awesome Awesome!! Love the passion and total love that they have for our Milo - What a wonderful team they have !!! They are more than important to us! They are a true lifeline!Rock Hill, SC
Very reliable. I get pictures everyday. My dogs and their area is clean and I can see they were well cared for. They get exercise and hugs.Rock Hill, SC
I was very impressed by the services professionalism and genuine love of my dog. I felt totally comfortable with giving them access to my home and trusted that they would take care of my pet while I was away. I will be recommending to my friends.Fort Mill, SC
Kim & Jenny were great to work with. They are great communicators and very reliable. We have WiFi enabled electronic locks so I knew when they came and went, which was about the same time twice daily. I have 2 cats. One is 18 y.o with stage IV kidney disease and requires daily subcutaneous infusions of IV fluid. Kim, the owner, had never done that, but was willing to let me train her and give it a try. My cat is quite accustomed to this and is a real sweetheart, so she was great to learn the procedure on.(review continued in next panel...)Fort Mill, SC

All went well and Kim felt comfortable with it after a couple training sessions. She did it on her own for a week while we were on vacation! I really respected that Kim was willing to try to learn a procedure, that would, frankly, freak some people out, even though its pretty simple and not so scary once someone explains the process to you. Kim and Jenny gave the cats much needed affection and play time while we were away in addition to feeding them and cleaning out litter boxes. (review continued in next panel...)

They wrote up daily reports and would send pictures of them too. I discovered Two Tails Up quite accidentally while walking in our neighborhood. Jenny was walking a dog for an elderly lady who could no longer walk her dog. She had discovered a baby bird that had fallen from its nest and she was very concerned about its safety and was trying to find someone to come collect and care for it. I knew then that Jenny had a heart of gold and was a real animal lover. I asked her for her business card right then and there!
We at Two Tails Up are committed to the love and care of your furry friends.
Check out all of these adorable, happy faces!
