Pawsitively the Best Care

Hello there! I’m Hayley, your friendly neighborhood pet lover! 🐾 With over 16 years of experience around animals (I grew up in what could only be described as a miniature zoo), I’ve always been that person who adores every furry, scaly, or feathered friend. Now, I’m thrilled to bring that passion to your pet! For the past 9 years, I’ve been pet sitting and loving on all sorts of animals like they’re my own. When your pup stays with me, both my husband and I will be there to make them feel right at home. Oh, and we’ve also got a little human under the age of 1 who thinks dogs are the coolest thing ever! A Day in the Life at Our Place When your pup boards with us or joins for daycare, they’re in for a treat! Their day starts with morning potty breaks, breakfast, and a stretch outside to shake off any sleepiness. We love spending time outdoors, so your dog will enjoy plenty of walks, playtime in our yard, and enrichment activities to keep their minds active. We tailor the day to fit each pet’s unique routine, ensuring they’re comfortable, happy, and well-cared for. Throughout the day, there are cozy naps, belly rubs, and interactive play sessions with both humans and any furry friends that match their play style. If your dog is more of a “lounge and watch” type, we’ve got plenty of comfy spots for them to relax and enjoy some quiet time. We make sure each pet gets personalized attention and care, including any special needs or dietary requirements. Caring for Your Pets and Home When I stay in your home, I’ll care for your pets, house, and even your plants. I make it a point to bring in mail and packages and keep everything tidy. You can expect daily photo updates so you can see all the fun and love your pets are getting. I aim to build a quality relationship with your pet so they feel totally at ease, clean up after myself and your fur baby, and leave your home just as you left it—sheets and towels freshly washed. A Bit About Me I’m an outdoors enthusiast who’s always up for a walk or trail adventure, and having a fur buddy with me makes it even better! 🌲 I’m also experienced with reactive animals and take pride in being a compassionate and professional caregiver. When your pet is with me, their schedule, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. For safety, I don’t approach other dogs while walking yours unless we’ve discussed it beforehand. And I avoid hot asphalt in the summer or overexerting dogs prone to heatstroke. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family members!

This is the second time we have used Hayley while visiting friends in Hilton Head. She is very patient with our shy boy Waldo and does a great job with communication. Thank you again!

Hayley was fabulous with our dog Waldo. Great environment for him as he is shy and nervous around strangers. The house has a large back yard to allow dogs to explore the outside. Hayley provided updates and pictures throughout our visit and was terrific with her response time. Highly recommend and will use again.

Hayley, Bravo has an amazing time with your baby and in your home. Thank you for your caring nature and taking him in while I worked out of town. We are more than grateful and will use you next time we’re in town.

She did a great job and was very easy to communicate with! Spooky seemed to like her more than he does me! Would definitely use again!

Safety, trust & environment

I’m available to care for your pet both in the comfort of your home and in mine, making sure your fur baby feels as relaxed and happy as any other day! With me, your pet will enjoy plenty of walks, lots of playtime, and tons of exercise. Our home is set up to keep everyone comfortable—your pet will have plenty of space to roam while also having the option to be safely separated from our little one who is learning to walk. We’re fully equipped with toys, two crates, and food bowls to make drop-off easy and stress-free for you!

A typical day

I’m a big advocate for both mental and physical stimulation in dogs because I believe “a tired dog is a happy dog!” A typical day starts off with a good morning walk around the neighborhood or a fun play session in the yard to get their energy flowing. I tailor each day to suit your dog’s needs, whether it’s a brisk walk, a game of fetch, or some interactive puzzle toys that challenge their minds. Throughout the day, I incorporate a mix of activities—additional walks, playtime with other dogs (if they’re comfortable), and some downtime to rest and recharge. My goal is to make sure every dog gets the exercise and enrichment they need to be happy and relaxed.
