Doggy Day Care in Charleston

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life—starting with two sweet black labs, Quarter and Ruby, who were part of my childhood pack. We also had a sassy long-haired mini dachshund named Daisy, who ruled the house. These early experiences taught me how to feed, care for, and understand dogs of all sizes and personalities. Today, I’m the proud “fun dog aunt” to my siblings’ pups: Bentley (a lab/Rottweiler mix), and Lemon (a long-haired mini dachshund). Our family recently adopted Lemon’s parents too, so I’ve seen it all from puppies to seniors, big breeds to little ones. I’ve dog-sat for friends and family countless times and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or just a cuddle on the couch, your pet will be treated like family. I’m currently in school full-time to become a CRNA, which means I’m often studying during the day, but the beauty of that is flexibility! I’m typically in Mount Pleasant, downtown Charleston, Isle of Palms, or James Island, and I can adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. Study breaks are perfect for walks, playtime, or home visits. Just let me know what your pet needs, I’m happy to work around it! Whether I’m in your home or welcoming your pet into mine, I always prioritize safety, trust, and comfort. I follow feeding and medication instructions closely, make sure pets are never left unsupervised in unsafe areas, and maintain a calm, structured environment. I’m respectful of your space and your pet’s routine, and I send frequent photo updates so you can relax knowing your fur baby is happy and cared for. I treat every dog like my own (if I had one!), and I’ll make sure yours feels loved and secure while you’re away.

“Incredible!!! Matt provided an exceptional daycare service for our pup Seba for two days while we were at the beach. His regular check ins put our mind at ease and we knew that Seba was having a great time. Matt is awesome with dogs and you can tell immediately he is an animal lover. He really went way above and beyond what we expected. Seba came home smiling and exhausted every day! Thanks again Matt you are next level incredible!!”

“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.”

“Christina took great care of our two boys. We received multiple pictures of their stay. She even used our ThunderShirt during a thunderstorm with Cash. We would love to use her more often if we were local. She will be our go-to sitter when we are in town.”

“Did a great job responding and communicating with us. Very flexible and accommodating and offered great service. Our dog enjoyed staying at her house!”

“Kyler was so amazing with Willow! He shared awesome photos and updates during her stay that made me feel so confident and happy she was in great care! I would recommend Kyler to any pet parents and hope Willow gets the chance to hang with him again soon!”

“Carly took great care of our pup, Ruby. Carly is very communicative and we loved the pictures she sent us while she was with Ruby. We will definitely reach out to Carly the next time we need help in Charleston.”

“Great communication and Gracie came home happy. Slept great after a good daycare!”

“My dog Magnolia has a great time staying with Matt and Ashley! She had plenty of playtime with their dog Marshmallow which was great. I got lots of pictures and updates throughout the day, and I really appreciated that. Great experience!”

Nicole R.

“We would definitely use Katherine again. Sully was happy to go back and be with her again the second day. She did an excellent job of taking care of our little man, even when he had an accident in her home, marking his territory from her own two special pups. Katherine kept him in her lap while on a conference meeting and allowed Sully to be a Velcro dog the first day and follow her around. She offered him puzzle toys and he quickly got over his anxiousness and anxiety of being apart from his own family. He loved the outside fenced yard and walks. You can feel at ease leaving your beloved pet with Katherine.”

“Madeline took great care of our pups while visiting Charleston. You can tell she’s a very attentive lover of pets. She was also very flexible with our schedule as it was a super busy weekend with major traffic delays. She’s also in a great location for those needing pet services in downtown Charleston.”

Stacy C.

“Lane was great. Very responsive!”

Shayla Y.

“Jena and her son were awesome! Nice house with a back yard. They loved my dog and treated her like their own. Set up a splash pad in the back and took her for walks. Will definitely use her again.”

“Gray was amazing with our pup, Rollo! He took to her right away and was completely comfortable. We really appreciated her great communication — complete with lots of photos. Highly recommend, and thank you, Gray!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, so caring for them comes naturally. I’m very active and love keeping dogs engaged through play and exercise. For the past seven years, I’ve fostered puppies several times a year, giving me experience with training and meeting the needs of young dogs. I also have a senior family dog back home and regularly care for another senior dog here in Charleston, so I’m familiar with the patience and special attention older dogs require. I work from home, which means I can give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I can take frequent walks, I have a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time, and can easily fit in play and exercise as part of my daily routine. In my home, I have a fenced-in yard for secure outdoor time and a calm, pet-friendly environment in my house with no other animals. In a client’s home, I follow their routines closely. Feeding schedules, walk times, and any special instructions. I make sure doors and gates are secure, always supervise outdoor time, and keep a close eye on their well-being.

“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: I have grown up around lots of animals, and I find happiness and comfort with any type of furry friend! I currently have a puppy and I know how stressful or demanding it may seem. I can reassure you that I handle any pet with the best care and I am here to help. It’s not always easing changing lifestyles and getting a new pet and I understand how it feels. It is important to give all animals loving treatment. Having a puppy has taught my patience, awareness, and structure which is how I would handle caring for any animal. Exercise, routine, playtime, and love is of the essence when caring for dogs. I can follow any feeding schedule and be there on time to help you out. I am home most of the time or taking care of my own pets. I am available pretty much anytime during the day and any day of the week. If you are working late I am available to take your pup out or feed your cat. I have a car and assure you I will be on time for any task. I give both of my pets lots of love and attention, I love spending time with my pets and making sure they are taking care of. I am able to walk, visit, or feed any pet. Giving my pets love means giving other peoples pets love because it can be difficult not being around your pet/owner and I am here to alleviate some of that stress. I take care of my pets with diligence and will do the same for you!

About: I'm quick to respond and reliable! I LOVE walking and I have a 15 pound Toy Aussie Doodle/King Charles (hypoallergenic) who loves other dogs as well! I like to get outside and go for walks whenever I have a break in my work day. I wake up early and go to bed early and take them out first thing in AM and last thing in PM. At my house, lots of naps, playing, going around the block, toys, treats (if allowed), and just a good time hanging during the day with me and my pup Freddie!

“Charles is the best! Lola loves to play at their house!!”
