I am always nervous about leaving my anxious dog with new people but Emily was fantastic. She communicated and handled him with care. I even got photos of a clearly fun day. I can trust her and will for sure be back!

About: I grew up on a farm and ranch, caring for animals of all shapes and sizes. While living in South Carolina, I assisted with service dog and obedience training. Dogs have always been a part of my life, and I’ve cared for them throughout my entire adult years. I can’t wait to offer your pup a safe, loving environment while you’re away! Usually home all day Sat and Sunday. Mon - Friday I’m gone from about 9am to 12pm. Home for the rest of the day to keep your pups company, aside from life errands that are few and far between. Drop offs/Pick ups no later than 830pm. As of right now I can have one client at a time, Thank you. I have a 6 foot privacy fence and the front room is set up for your pup to stay in and there is a XXL crate and for smaller pups I have a large play pen and a canopy bed. I do have three dogs that are friendly, however my house is constructed to where I can keep everyone separated and comfortable.

My dog always has fun at KC's. Her goldens are so much fun that he can't help but want to play too! Despite his separation anxiety, he actually started to leave me several times on the 2nd day to go follow them!

About: I was raised around dogs since childhood, and have always been involved with animal rescue since I had my own place. We have dogs and cats of our own, and they enjoy having fluffy friends to play with as much as we do! I’m currently available during the day full time, and only work part-time at night. So there’s a lot of availability for either dog walks, emergency boarding needs, or doggy daycare options. We have a fenced in yard out back, and crate-and-rotate when needed. I am experienced in handling all behaviors of dogs, from the fearful/shy to the escape artist.

About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. Around 5 years ago I got a few of my own. I have been around all types of animals from cats to Cane Corsos. I have never had any problem being around any type of animal regardless of size. I love going on walks. I normally stop by and feed my family's pets and make sure they are well taken care of. I have also trained puppies and have handled senior pets as well! Pet care is not something interrupts my daily or weekly routine. It is something that I actually prefer to do with my time. I love being able to help people with their fur babies while they have prior engagements and cannot be there at a certain time! I will follow all of your rules while inside your house. If you need your pup crated I can easily do that. I can also let them out in your fenced yard or take them out on a leash.

I was in town for a family celebration and needed someone to watch Zeus for a few hours. I’m so happy to have found Olinda. She took amazing care of him. She is very sweet and very accommodating! Zeus took to her right away and had a blast playing in her fenced in backyard! She kept me updated with pictures and videos throughout his visit! I will absolutely use her services again the next time we are in town. Thank you Olinda! You were great!
