About: I have spent all my life surrounded with all different breeds of dogs and have always been a big pet lover. I have a pit bull, yorkie, and Chihuahua, and a holland lop bunny of my own. My family had dogs of their own including yorkies, english bulldog, pits, and labs who are spectacular dogs and for the most part all of our dogs get along and have total free roam of our house and get plenty of play time outside and so would your pet! I have a cat as well and she prefers staying outside but we are open to letting her come and go as she pleases. In our house, your animals are safe and sound! I am currently out of a job and looking to make a little extra money. I used to babysit but it wasn’t fitting for me so i’ve decided that animals is more my style when it comes to anything to care for :) I know I live out of the city limits but honestly, I'm more than willing to drive anywhere. Im about 25-30 minutes from anything so my common areas I typically am in are Saluda, hendersonville, forest city, boiling springs, etc. My yard is 5 acres and all open so they have range to roam and we have plenty of fur babies here to help keep company for your baby as well! They will get access to hangout inside and play all they want. Our neighbors are super friendly and we have a plenty long road to take them on walks as well
About: I love all animals. I will play with them, walk them, and be sure to give them lots of love and attention. I have had pets my whole life and I am used to many difffent types of breeds. I am willing to walk them, jog with them, and just lay around and relax with them. If I could just sit pets for my whole life as a full time job I would. I can look after both your pet and your house! Both will be in very good and capable hands. I know how important pets are, they are like family. I am the most free on weekends, but can do some things during the week in the evenings and mornings before work. I’m off on Fridays during the summer. I treat my own pets like family, and will do the same for yours. I will follow all of your guidelines and be sure to give them the love and attention they deserve.
About: I am Shaylei, I am 24 years old, and I love working with animals. I have had many different types of animals like dogs and cats to take care of while I was growing up. I also worked at the Noble Dog Lodge so I do have professional dog care experience as well. I like the cuddlers, playful, and lazy doggies. I can also teach your dog a few tricks if you’d like as well. I know how to teach sit, stay, shake, and a couple more! I’ve dealt with harder to work with dogs, and very laid back dogs. I’ve dealt with Chihuahuas and Dobermans so any size works for me. I've also worked with the hyper puppies and the senior dogs that just need patience. Your pet will be in good hands if you decide to choose me as your main provider for your pet care needs. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I currently don't work and only have my pup to care for and spoil. I love caring for friends and family's pets, so let me care for yours as well! Weather I stay the whole day or do a drop in visit, I always make sure to give each pet the same care and attention. I know your babies miss you and you miss them while you're away. I want them to feel good about me caring for them. So, weather we play fetch, cuddle, or go on a walk I will always treat your babies with the respect and happiness they deserve.

Gracie S.
“Gracie has always been a huge animal lover. We’ve never not been going down the road and not had to stop and help an animal in need. She’s volunteered at vet clinics and the vets office where i work and never fails to make a good friend with an animal. She has 3 dogs and a rabbit of her own that she is always playing with and teaching new tricks and it really is amazing how easy it is for gracie to bond with animals. She treats animals as if they were her children and we all love that about her. I would never worry about leaving an animal with her because she’s always opening the door to new opportunities with pets and absolutely loves to be active with them. Her yorkie had a litter of puppies and gracie helped deliver the babies and take care of them. Gracie is also a clean freak so if there’s a mess or an animal smells, she doesn’t hesitate to clean up any messes or load them up in a car and go give them a bath. Overall, gracie is very dependable and never makes anybody second guess anything.”
Katie C.
“Katie is an excellent choice of caregiver for fur babies! I could not be more pleased with the care that was given to my animals while away and in her hands! She made sure to keep their schedule exactly how we discussed and gave them lots of love and attention. I am very pleased and will certainly use her services in the future!”
Shaylei B.
“If you want someone who will treat your pets like prince or princess Shaylei is the person for you! She is great with all animals and shows them lots of love and care. She will always put the care of your pets as a top priority. You wont regret having her care for your pets.”

Ashley was great with our animals! She was attentive and provided any updates we needed. The house was clean and organized when we came home. She even won over our older dog who is generally nervous of strangers and picky about who she gets attached to. We will definitely book Ashley again in the future ☺️
