“This was the first time I used DogVacay and the whole experience was extremely positive. Carissa and Ryan were fabulous...very responsive and accommodating. They sent daily updates with pictures and it was obvious that my dog, Wayne, was not only well cared for but was also having a great time playing with Charley. I will not hesitate to ask them to watch Wayne again the next time I need a dog-sitter.”
“Laura was a great sitter for my 4lb poodle, Weston. From the start, she was attentive, kind, and clearly experienced. Weston can be a bit timid, but he felt comfortable with her right away — which gave me so much peace of mind. She kept in touch throughout his stay with thoughtful updates and sweet photos, and it was clear he was in caring hands the entire time. When I picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I’m so grateful to have found Laura and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter.”

About: I’ve had dogs all throughout my life and recognize the important part they play in their family’s life. They deserve lots of love and attention, which unfortunately none of us have an endless amount of. That’s where I’d love to step in! Currently, my work schedule is random but often allows me to help where I can. I’m hoping to bring home a new pup later this year, but as I wait, I’d love to be able to help take care of yours! I’m very active and enjoy being outdoors, so I assure you your pet won’t be bored! I’m available for weekday drop ins and walks as well as weekend boarding. I’m most comfortable accepting boarding in my own home as I’m married, but special arrangements can be discussed if needed. I live 10 minutes from Sullivan’s island, so in addition to walks around Mt. Pleasant, I’d love to take your pup to the beach if you board with me!
“Haley was amazing with my rescue, Tuna. She kept me updated with pictures and showed me around the space when I dropped her off. It’s a great setting with a fenced in backyard. Tuna settled in right away and took advantage of all the playing!”

“Great experience for taking care of Zoie, who is elder and somewhat needy girl. We are new to area abd glad we found nice Family to dogsit Z. Thank you for your patience and picture updates!”
About: I grew up with four dogs and now own a cat, so caring for animals has always been part of my daily life. For the past three years, I’ve been pet sitting a variety of animals, each with their own routines and personalities. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, cats, and pets that need a little extra patience or attention. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and happy by sticking to their normal routines and giving them plenty of care, play, and affection. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I have a cat of my own and am constantly surrounded by animals from friends and family, so caring for pets is second nature to me. I build my schedule around feeding times, walks, check-ins, and quality time, making sure each pet gets consistent care and attention. I’m reliable, organized, and flexible, which allows me to accommodate different routines and special needs. Whether it’s daily visits or extended stays, I make sure pets feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for as part of my regular day. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment for every pet. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I make sure they feel secure and at ease. In my home, my cat and I are used to having other animals around, so I can smoothly introduce new pets while keeping routines consistent. In clients’ homes, I follow their instructions closely, stick to feeding and play schedules, and maintain a calm, safe environment. I always supervise pets, provide plenty of attention and affection, and make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
“Paige did a phenomenal job with our puppy and kept us updated often with what they were doing. Our puppy came back to us as happy as ever and well taken care of. We would love for Paige to watch Penne again whenever we visit Charleston!”

“Lauren and her family were great watching our high energy golden retriever for the day! Our pup loved running around in their backyard with their yellow lab. Highly recommend!”

“Mike was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and asking very good questions to learn about Remi and her normal routines. He also kept me well informed and sent pictures throughout her stay. Remi had a great time and came home happy and tired. Would definitely recommend Mike and will be sure to use him again anytime I need someone to look after Remi.”

“If your looking for a place for your dog to have a big backyard, a sweet other dog to play with and some amazing people to take care of your dog, then Julia is who you should book with with! My dog Cappy stayed with her all weekend and she was very attentive at sending me pictures and updating me if anything happened. She also has a very sweet and loving black lab that will be a great play buddy for any dog. She is also very flexible with pickup and drop off times and is very quick with responding back. Thank you again Julia!”
About: I have two dogs 9 & 5 and one kitty. My older pup had a back injury when she was 2, so I’ve dealt with all types of special care for pups who need a bit of assistance as well as administering medications, etc. My animals are my children and I would take care of someone else’s babies as my own! I work full time but typically off by 2pm. I focus on long walks or adventures in the evenings that get my pups worn out leading into the following day while I’m at work. I also have a huge fenced in backyard for them to play in! Bare minimum one walk a day, feeding morning and night, my dogs roam the house while I’m gone but they are trained and older- I can follow instructions easily with preferred schedules(:
“Gabriela was amazing! Mav will definitely be going back to her. She kept me updated with photos and little messages, took Mav on so many walks and was so accommodating with travel disruptions! Always a good feeling when your dog comes home happy and healthy from the dog sitters! 🙂”

Mike was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and asking very good questions to learn about Remi and her normal routines. He also kept me well informed and sent pictures throughout her stay. Remi had a great time and came home happy and tired. Would definitely recommend Mike and will be sure to use him again anytime I need someone to look after Remi.

Shelby did an incredible job watching my dog, Franny! She sent me updates and pictures throughout the entire stay and made sure Franny got enough exercise and playtime. Franny had so much fun that she didn’t want to leave! I would definitely book with Shelby again and recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter!

We would be happy to have Zach watch our dog again! His communication was great with updates and photos daily while we were away, and he went above and beyond to make sure our pup got a special treat for her birthday that would work for her allergy and dietary restrictions which was very thoughtful. Highly recommend Zach!

Ariana was awesome! She took care of my high energy dog Gus and he came back to me super happy and seemed very well cared for! She also sent me lots of pictures of him throughout the stay which was great and super cute! Could not recommend her enough and will definitely be booking with her again!!

Constantine was amazing! My dog Pepino is very fearful, and he gave him all the time he needed to adjust. He sent us photos and updates every day and made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process. It was a wonderful experience both for our dog and for us. I would definitely choose him again!! Thank you, Constantine!

I had a wonderful experience with Campbell! She was communicative, kind, and incredibly attentive throughout the entire stay. It was clear she genuinely cared about my pets and made them feel comfortable and at home from the start. She also really eased my apprehensions about leaving them, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I truly appreciated the updates and thoughtful care she provided. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter, and I would happily rebook with her again in the future!

Abby was AMAZING. This was my first time leaving my dog with someone since moving to Charleston. Dolly went right with Abby and forgot all about me leaving as soon as they met! Abby sent updates, photos, and even took Dolly out for a pup cup at Ben & Jerry’s on her last day! We are so sad that she is moving to Wilmington, we would have loved to use her forever! We are wishing her so much success for her future & if she finds time to Rover in Wilmington, you should book with her with no hesitation!
