“Carly was so great with my rescue Tuna! She sent so many pictures and updates and tuna seemed to settle right in. She kept her busy, walked her and played with her. Thank you Carly!”
“Bruce has been amazing with my pup Pipoca. He always takes great care of him, and I can tell Pipoca loves spending time there. He gets so excited the moment we pull up in front of Bruce’s house and can't wait to jump out of the car. He also loves playing with Bruce’s dog, Storm (Pipoca's best buddy). It’s such a good feeling knowing Pipoca is in good hands with someone who’s reliable, and clearly loves dogs.”
“Such a wonderful host! Kind and welcoming. Buttercup came outside at the end with a huge smile on her face and tried to go back inside for more cuddle and playtime with Alfie.”
“Meagan is AWESOME! We have rebooked with her several times and we will continue to have her take care of our little guy! Our guy has anxiety and Meagan is kind and patient and has really gotten to know him! He gets so excited to go there and see Meagan and play with the other pups and he comes home tired! We know he has had a fun day! Highly highly recommend Meagan!”
“John was great with Doogie! He had a nice day care visit 🐾🩶”
“Lane was great. Very responsive!”
“Laura provides a loving and secure place for our dog Ripley to chill at while we’re away for long periods of time. Ripley loves Laura’s dog Lady too. We highly recommend Laura to look after your doggies.”
About: Hi there! I grew up with both cats and dogs, so I understand how important it is to find a sitter you can truly trust. I would love to care for your pup as if they were my own! I share my home with two cats and our 1.5 year old Boykin Spaniel, Tucker (he's neutered). Tucker is full of energy and loves to play, so I’m best suited for pups who enjoy a good romp and can match his enthusiasm. I am looking forward to meeting your furry friend! I work full time Monday-Friday but work from home four days a week. On Tuesdays, I go into the office, but always come home midday for about an hour to let our dog out and check in. I am available for boarding or day care most days of the week: Sunday-Saturday. I have a large, fenced in yard for pups to play in. I have been through the puppy stage (and honestly still going through it) so my house is puppy proofed. Working from home, I can keep a close eye on everyone. I am very organized and will stick to your pup's schedule. And of course, give them tons of love! I am happy to provide updates on how the stay is going. Because of my cats, I do ask that you are okay with your dogs sleeping in a crate overnight. During the day, they’ll have full freedom to hang out and enjoy lots of company. If possible, I would like for you to bring your pup to our house before the boarding date so we can make sure our pups can meet and your pup can have a chance to visit our house. I want to make sure that everyone (including you and me!) feel comfortable with each other. Lastly, please provide your dog’s vaccine records. Thank you!
“Mike was a life saver responding to a daycare request on such short notice. Communication was great and I felt very comfortable leaving my pup with him for the day. 10/10 would recommend!”
About: When I go to a party, I’m basically counting down the minutes until it’s acceptable for me to leave and go back to my dogs. We have a border collie mix named Piper, and a schnoodle named Winnie! Piper is probably the dumbest border collie you will ever meet. There is not a single thought behind those sweet eyes. Winnie probably had the potential to be an emotional support dog but squirrels get the best of her. My husband works from home full time, and I am home from working for a local school county for the summer. We love dogs and I would love to care for yours this summer! I am home from the summer, so I am available majority of June and most of July! I am available for midday walks, and drop ins. Walking and playing with pups is already part of my daily routine! We have a fenced in yard, and never leave our dogs unaccompanied. I am always hyperaware of my environment on walks, and will change directions if I see a dog that seems unsafe or off leash.
“We brought our pup to Juliana for daycare and she was great! Very communicative before and during our dog’s stay. We felt comfortable leaving him in her care and would definitely reach out to her again in the future :)”
“Amy is great. My dog enjoyed his time with Amy. I like the fact that he is the only dog that she watches. It makes it easier for me to feel comfortable with him.”
About: Hi, I'm Lil Miss - writing for the human, Adam. He thinks he runs this household but let's be real. We live in a great duplex with a great fenced-in yard! We're excited to have slumber parties and go on neighborhood walks and go to the dog park - and I'll even share some of my treats! I do great with other doggos and love to play. I am naturally a herder but love getting to know other pups with my human. We can go on walks and car rides, too! Daily routine consistent, as Lil Miss loves routine. The home is free range but we can incorporate your crate, should your dog need it. We go on 1 walk in the neighborhood every day and try to hit up a local dog park when it's not too hot or wet outside. Lil Miss is a free range eater but we'll make sure both doggos eat at the same time. My work schedule is sporadic but allows me to be home during the day, more often than not. We have a great fenced-in yard and can crate your dog, in your crate, if necessary. Lil Miss does well when hanging out with other dogs in the home and we have extra beds and toys to share!
“Ren was very accommodating for my chaotic pack of 3 (Frenchie puppy, older Frenchie and a mid-size English bulldog) who came for a single day of doggy daycare. The older Frenchie was wearing a cone and healing from an eye injury, so she was anxious and grumpy, but the other two came home exhausted and happy. Definitely recommend!”
“Asia was able to take my girl last minute and was very nice about the whole experience (especially with me being late for drop off!) I received video and pictures during the stay. Braell came home so happy and tired from playing the whole day which is exactly what I was hoping for. 10/10, would book with Asia again!”
About: Hello! My name is Julia and our beloved furchild is Angus! I have a large fully fenced in yard located in West Ashley right off the Cosgrove bridge! I am newly in my early retirement and looking to host some loving pups for local families in need! I have raised dogs my whole life and have never been without a household dog! I am very easy going and will give your dog lots of love and treat your sweet pup as if it was our own for the time that we are watching them! Come meet us! I am newly retired, available 24/7 with minimal need for errands and appointments. Very flexible and easy to schedule around drop off and pick up times Angus and I will love your pet as if they are our own. Both my children have multiple dogs and often times are sought upon to dog sit them. I adore all dogs.
About: I love all animals! I have two senior dogs and a cat of my own at home. I've lived with a dog my whole life. I have been described as a dog whisperer by many friends for my knack of gaining a dog's trust very quickly. My first cat came in 2016 and I soon after became a cat lover. I typically have late afternoon to evening availability during the week and am completely free during the weekends for pet care. I occasionally have early afternoon availability during the week as well. I am available for overnight sitting and boarding. If your home is outside of my direct service area I do adjust my rates to account for additional time and travel. I am completely comfortable accommodating any\all pet care requests within reason. Whether that be letting your pet out in the yard for exercise/bathroom breaks, letting dogs/cats in and out of crates/bedrooms to eat or roam around for awhile. I'm also happy to just keep your pet company for the time I am with it, from petting to playing fetch or tug-of-war or just peacefully co-existing.
“Neelah had an amazing time and will definitely be dropping Neelah off at April and Tyler’s place! Super flexible drop off and pick up times was perfect for my shift!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life. I worked at a doggy day care facility for 5 years and gained a ton of experience with dogs of all sized and temperaments! We have foster dogs intermittently and will have a coonhound in the house soon as well! My current dog keeps me very active and we love long walks, hikes and the beach! I work in the office and I come home every day at lunch. My dog is my everything and yours will get the same love and care while with me! We do long walks before and after work, and can do longer walks on the weekends. Longer work day walks are always an option as well! I live in an apartment that is very walkable and has many parks around! My dog is a great playmate for other female dogs, and does good with most boys as well! We love long walks on the many trails in the area and love to explore!
About: Growing up we always had a family dog(s) and when I wasn't caring for my own pups, I was helping watch pups of friends and neighbors! I work from home, so your pups will always be attended to! Because of my work from home schedule, I am open to same day appointments. I believe in always having safety precautions to ensure the pups don't get into trouble such as putting away hazards including things on the floor/counters.

She has previous work experience with dog care, and she has taken in foster dogs on numerous occasions to give them a second chance at life.
