Doggy Day Care in High Shoals

About: What sets me apart is my ability to take pet care seriously without taking myself too seriously. I’m patient, observant, calm, and respectful of routines. I’m especially great with independent pets, seniors, shy animals, and anyone who needs a gentle, steady presence rather than chaos. I’m naturally nurturing, detail-oriented, and calm. I believe animals deserve consistency, patience, and kindness. I’m the type of person who talks to pets like they understand (because… they do), celebrates small wins like a voluntary cuddle, and never rushes trust. I take pride in being reliable, warm, and easy to work with. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule intentionally, allowing time for feedings, check-ins, play, and quiet companionship. I’m consistent, punctual, and flexible, and I never treat pet care like an afterthought. Its something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. I treat every home and pet with respect and care. I follow instructions closely, double-check doors and routines, and keep environments calm and secure. I prioritize cleanliness, safety, and your pet’s comfort at all times. Trust matters to me! Both yours and your pet’s and I work to earn it every visit.

“Everything went great. River was tired after playing with her dog all day. I got pictures through out the day which I really like. Great communication, big yard , got enough water. And I liked that she was very close to where I was staying. I would recommend her and use her again”

“Our puppy had a great day at Amy's. He got along with her dog and she sent me photos of them playing. I was able to relax knowing that he was in good hands while I was at work. I would definitely book Amy again if I needed a dog sitter!”

About: Because I work remotely, pets are rarely left alone for long periods of time. I have hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and energy levels... from a senior dog who became blind and deaf, which taught me patience and gentle, consistent care, to my current puppy, where I focus on training, routine, exercise, and positive reinforcement for high-energy needs. I also have two cats with very different personalities, so I am very attentive to body language and always respect each pet’s comfort level, allowing them to warm up at their own pace. I work remotely and am home throughout the day. This allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship without dogs being left alone for long periods. My mornings usually start with feeding and a walk or outdoor time. Throughout the day, I schedule additional walks, play sessions, and enrichment based on each dog’s energy level and needs. Because I’m home, I can easily adjust my schedule for puppies, senior dogs, or dogs who need extra attention or routine. I make sure routines stay consistent from day to day so dogs feel comfortable, secure, and at home. Dog care isn’t something I squeeze into my schedule—it’s part of my everyday life. My goal is always to provide a safe, attentive, and loving environment where dogs feel happy and well cared for. I take safety, trust, and comfort very seriously and always care for pets as if they were my own. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine while providing a calm, secure environment. In my home, pets are closely supervised and never left unattended for long periods of time. Because I work remotely, I’m able to be present throughout the day to monitor behavior, provide regular potty breaks, walks, and attention, and ensure pets are comfortable and relaxed. I keep my space clean, pet-friendly, and free of hazards, and I’m careful to follow any household rules provided by owners. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions closely. I make sure doors and gates are secure, food and medications are given as directed, and pets receive the level of interaction and exercise they’re used to. I’m also attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, or energy and communicate updates promptly. My goal is always to create a safe, low-stress environment where pets feel secure and owners feel confident their pets are in good hands.

“Aisha is terrific and Bijoux loves her. She is so flexible and friendly and truly a pleasure to work with. Rover is lucky to have her.”

“I have used Georgeann several times while I was in town. River loves the whole family and they have other dogs to play with and a big yard. She never leaves him in the heat and he gets lots of attention. She has great communication and is always on time for pickup. She is very responsive and responsible and is a very popular sitter for good reason.”

Robyn M.

“Jessica took great care of my anxious dog, thank you Jessica for being another safe space for her- I know she’ll get more comfy as she sees you more. I’ll be booking again soon!”

My day begins with feeding routines, followed by cleaning my dog training room and conducting morning training sessions or walks.

About: Hi! My husband and I are both hybrid workers, so we’re home often and have flexible schedules that allow us to spend quality time with the dogs we watch. We live in a two-story home with no kids or pets of our own, which means your dog will have a calm, quiet environment with plenty of space to play and relax. Since there aren’t other animals or distractions, we’re able to give your dog our full attention, lots of love, and care tailored just to them. My experience with dogs goes back to when I was 3 years old, and had my first family dog that I grew up with like a sibling! From that moment, I always treated dogs as part of the family. I rescued my second dog while I was in college from a shelter, and I also spent many years pet sitting for my neighbors, which was truly a dream job because I got to spend all day long playing with dogs. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and understand the extra patience, gentleness, and routine they often need—whether it's administering medications, helping them up stairs, or just giving them a peaceful spot to nap. We work full-time, but have hybrid schedules where we work from home most of the week. We make sure to rotate our in office days so one of us is always home. We are able to provide potty breaks every hour! For exercise, our neighborhood is suitable for long walks. We also have a yard where we can play with your dog, as well as several nearby trails.

About: Just moved to the area from central GA. We can’t wait to meet your pups. 😊 Hi, I’m Amanda! I am a stay-at-home Mom, which means I’ll be able to give extra attention to and take excellent care of your pets! I live with my husband, Phillip, and our 3 children. We have a senior chihuahua named Kyle, and a rat terrior mix named Flower. Both current on vaccines and on monthly preventions. ***Currently, we are only able to have small breed dogs stay in our home with us.*** ***Same day bookings are case by case*** ***Bath, nail trims, and light grooming services are available, please message me for info and pricing*** Before having our children, I worked as a veterinary nurse assistant for 9 years. If you have a pet with medical needs, I have you covered. I am well versed in administering not only oral, eye or ear medication, but also injections. I am very passionate about making sure your pet has a comfortable and safe stay at our home, and treating them like part of the family. Communication before and during your pets stay is critical, please reach out with any questions you have. I provide daily picture updates with details on how our day was, usually in the evenings. Please do not hesitate to check in earlier! I hope to be able to care for your pets soon. Since I’m a stay-at-home Mom, I’ll be able to care for your pets just like they’re part of our family. They’ll be involved in all parts of our days - from fun romps outside, to quiet time inside while the little one naps. Your pets will always be on a leash while outside and ALWAYS supervised during potty breaks or outside play. We have an awning over the back porch to provide shade while enjoying outside time. We treat our yard monthly with a pet safe, natural, and effective pest spray.

“Frances was great! She provided several updates via photos and texts during Junie’s stay and that made me very comfortable and appreciative. She seems to really love the animals like they’re her own. We will definitely book her again.”

About: As a lifelong animal lover, caring for animals isn't just something I do—it's part of my daily life. My family homestead is home to dogs, cats, and a thriving garden, so providing attentive, compassionate care comes naturally to me. When your pet stays with me, they become part of the family. Unlike traditional kennels, pets enjoy a comfortable home environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I have a large fenced area for safe outdoor time and exercise, as well as multiple levels within my home that allow me to accommodate different personalities, energy levels, and needs. Whether your pet loves to socialize or prefers a quieter space to relax, I can create an environment where they feel comfortable and secure. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and quirks so their stay feels as close to home as possible. You'll receive regular updates, photos, and communication throughout your pet's stay because I know how important peace of mind is when you're away. My goal is simple: for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, loved, and treated like one of my own. I'm a teacher currently home for the summer, spending my days building our family homestead. Caring for animals is already woven into my daily routine, from tending to our dogs and cats, to working in the garden and enjoying life outdoors. Because I'm home and actively caring for my own animals throughout the day, welcoming boarding pets into my home feels like a natural extension of the life I'm already living. I have a fenced yard, lots of room indoors, and multiple levels to give pets the quiet or fun they desire. I have routines to care for our animals and will be glad to follow whatever your pet is used to!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child. I have experience with dogs that need unique care. My own dog was deaf. I also regularly care for a dog that has quite a few allergies and requires regular attention. I’m very patient and love having animals around. Here to make sure your pet is happy, healthy and safe! I currently work in a hybrid environment so I have a lot of time at home. My schedule can also be flexible and there is a green space nearby to ensure your dog has space to run. I’ve cared for pets in my home and others. I like to provide a safe comfortable environment where pets can feel at home while away from their families. Happy to take care of any pets with unique needs as well. Can administers medication and any special dietary requirements.

About: I have grown up with animals my entire life, from cats and dogs to goats and horses, so have plentiful experience with all! I love being outdoors and active and already spend most of my free time taking my own dog for walks on the greenway or hikes in the mountains. I am extremely reliable and work from home with a very flexible schedule so am open to all types of pet care! I work from home majority of the time so will have plenty of time to spend with your pet! I’m open to boarding/day care in my own home or available to travel for walks if your pet is more comfortable staying home. In the fall and winter months, I’m home most weekends so would have a lot of opportunity for weekend boarding as well! I have an almost 7 year old fur baby of my own who loves company and getting to play with other dogs. She gets spoiled with multiple walks a day on my work from home days and we have a few dog parks within walking distance that we utilize frequently. I live near downtown Lincolnton so am in a very safe and dog friendly area. If your pet prefers to be the only dog, I would be more than willing to make a couple trips per day to your home for some outdoor time and walks, as my work schedule is extremely flexible. My dog was crate trained as a puppy so I do have experience with that and would be more than willing to help with training during the day if your dog needed midday walks but was still getting comfy in their crate!
