Pet care experience

Pets? Yes, please!

I have taken care of dogs of various sizes and ages since I was a small child. I am the daughter of a dog trainer and handler in dog shows. With years of experience with small through giant size breeds, I'm able to care for your pet well. I was a professional pet sitter for 5 years in Greenville SC, took a break while I traveled the nation, and am back at it in the Asheville area! I have experience administering oral and injectable medications, animal (and human) first aid, puppies, and elderly dogs with CCM. My late pup, Soju, had liver cancer throughout his last 2 years of life, and I had to cook and formulate a special diet for him. I found him alone in an alley at 24 hours old, and dropper/bottle-fed him around the clock for several weeks. Through this experience, I am confident I can provide quality care for special needs pets as well.

Safety, trust & environment

How I care for your pet depends on what you and your pet need. I can easily crate your pet if you choose. I give all the snuggles and playtime they want or you ask for. I follow the feeding schedule and terms you choose and prioritize potty breaks. I'll take them for walks however often you ask for, as well.

Mandolyn did a great job watching my quirky crew! She was very good with my reactive dog, Sammy and even let them sleep in bed with her. I would definitely hire her again

Mandolyn is a fantastic house/dogsitter!!!! I seriously can't recommend her strongly enough. She took excellent care of my three Pomeranians and my place while I was overseas for a week. She's a really good communicator and honestly went above and beyond what I expected by attempting to take the poms on adventures, even though she was watching them during that crazy hail/thunderstorm/tornado super cell week. I've already booked her services for my next trip in June! Thank you for being awesome Mandolyn!

Mandolyn was absolutely amazing with our two German shepherds. It's nice not to have to worry about what's going on when you're leaving your dogs to someone else's care, and we didn't give it a second thought while we were gone. Mandolyn inspired confidence that they were loved on, cared for in a responsible way - all while following the instructions or specifics we laid out. 10/10, A+++, hope to use again!

Mandolyn took great care of my 2 kitties while I was on vacation. They put me at ease by having a meet and great before leaving and answered all my questions I had for them. They also followed all care steps.
