The Best Care 4 Your Best Friend🐶

Pet care experience

COVID19 UPDATE: Covid safety practices are in place for your protection as well as mine . Thank you ! Hello! my name is Kelly and I am excited to offer exclusive, affordable & safe alternatives for your furbaby's care. ==>Below are my most popular services (but not limited to) that I offer:<== --------------------- * DROP INS* --------------------- Drop Ins are perfect for pet parents who work long days or are out of town. I will come to your house and drop in on your pet for a 30 minute visit. Activities during each visit are custom and based on your pet's needs. Examples include a walk, brushing, feeding, litter scooping, backyard playtime and more. I can also help with any reasonable accident cleanup or request. I will follow your specific instructions for your pet's care while taking pictures/video to send you during my drop in. ----------------------------- *WEDDING NANNY* ----------------------------- Getting married and want to include your furbaby in your special day? I can help! I can handle your dog during your photography session with the photographer, and encourage good poses with treats. I can help your dog pose for your photos and attend to all your dogs needs throughout the day. If your dog is in the wedding ceremony, I will coordinate with you or your wedding planner to determine the best solution for a smooth walk down the aisle for your pup and the transition afterwards. Before, during and after your ceremony I will take pictures/video of your pet and will provide to you via text. I can also be available for the wedding rehearsal. My rate also includes transportation for your pup back to your home/hotel/airbnb after the ceremony within 10 miles of the wedding venue. For transportation beyond a 10 mile radius, there will be a $3/per mile additional fee. My rate for this service is $75 per hour. ---------------------------------- *PET TAXI CONCIERGE* ---------------------------------- Busy schedule and need help with an appointment for your pet? I can safely transport your dog to the vet, groomers or anywhere within reason. I can also return them home. For those needing extra care, I can stay during their grooming or vet appointment and assist with pick up of medication/supplies etc. Please contact me for a custom quote. --------------------------- *PET BOARDING* (Available for dogs, cats & some exotic pets) --------------------------- Your pet will feel like they're going to Aunt Kelly's house because they will be treated like family while they are on vacay with me. My goal is to ensure your pet is safe, comfortable and engaged while in my care. Currently, I can accommodate furbabies up to 40 pounds. This ensures that your pet will be in a safe environment with similarly sized guests. Guest spaces are limited so that your pet will receive the attention they need & deserve. My home is very clean, smoke free and located in a safe neighborhood in a golfing community. There are two friendly pets in my home: my calico cat Bella and my dachshund Stella. My home is two stories and a spacious 2012 sq. ft. I work mostly from home so your pet will have lots of supervision. So that you can keep up with your furbaby's vacay I will send you daily text & picture updates of their adventures! --------------------- *ABOUT ME* --------------------- I have love & respect for all animals, big and small, cuddly to scary. My favorite nonprofit is Keeper of the Wild & I donate annually. I have worked with animals my entire life growing up with cows, chickens, dogs, cats, bunnies, a pet duck and squirrel. Additionally, my mom and I have experience rescuing feral kittens, domesticating them and finding them homes. We have also worked with Pet Helpers with their trap, neuter, & release program for adult feral cats. Therefore, I also specialize in feline care. If you need a cat sitter, please contact me:) Growing up I had three pet dogs from the time I was born until I moved out of my parent's home after college. Because of this I have experience with young pups to senior dogs. I have also volunteered at the Doc Williams SPCA. During my time as a volunteer I adopted a Pomeranian mix that was scheduled to be euthanized after being labeled "aggressive" and "un-adoptable." With time and unconditional TLC he became a lap dog and one of the "cats" :) He was a blessing in my life for ten years and can be seen in several of the pictures on my profile. If you are vacationing in Charleston, most hotels don't allow dogs and kennels do not provide the family care and attention your dog deserves, so why not have your dog stay with Aunt Kelly? If you're flying out of town my home is located 15 minutes from the airport. ---------------------—— ***If you are in need of an animal care service not listed on here just send me a message with your inquiry and I will work with you to accommodate your needs or provide references on who can help.** **My services are not limited to dogs.

Kelly took wonderful care of my baby, Precious, as usual. I feel very comfortable leaving Precious with her. Also, I love the messages and pictures and videos she sends. I highly recommend her to everyone.

We were gone for two weeks and Kelly did a fantastic job with our pups! Communication was terrific and I could tell how happy the girls were when we picked them up. Will definitely ask Kelly to watch our sweet girls again. Highly recommend!

A typical day

We usually do two walks a day that range from 15 minutes to an hour depending on available time, your pet's temperament, weather etc. My neighborhood is pet friendly with plenty of sidewalks and walking trails for safe adventures. I have a very large back yard that is secured by a six foot privacy fence so your dog will have plenty of open space to run, play & chase squirrels. Games we like to play are fetch or frisbee:) Your dog will experience the good life in Charleston as my home is located twenty minutes from Folly Beach, ten minutes from the West Ashley Greenway (an 8 mile hike/walk trail) and 5 minutes from Bees Landing Dog Park. I love senior dogs & if your dog is elderly, special needs or a homebody I have plenty of cushioning comfort with my couch, dog beds or my super comfy Queen bed along with dog toys and treats.
