Top rated Columbia pet boarders

“Shannon was wonderful with my dog. She was flexible and able to work with a last minute schedule change to our vacation which was definitely appreciated. Our dog enjoyed her stay and we would definitely use Shannon again!”


“I dropped off my 11 month old, highly energetic, golden doodle for her first time away from home with some trepidation. She instantly became part of the family and made new puppy friends too! Frequent updates put my mind at ease. I think she's a bit bored now she's home!”



“Kathryn and Jeremy took excellent care of our dog Max while we were away for a week. From our first meeting with them, it was clear that they had experience taking care of dogs and were very understanding and knowledgable about our dogs unique care needs. We felt so comfortable leaving Max with them and when we picked him up it was clear he LOVED his time there and can't wait to see them again! Thank you Kathryn and Jeremy for taking such great care of Max!”


“Lennox came home happy and exhausted. A good sign she had a great time with Wendy and her new friends! I appreciated how quick Wendy was to respond and the great care she gave our pup!”


“I recently left Sheldon with Albert and Amanda for 2 weeks. Since the longest I have ever left him was just for one night, naturally I was very nervous. I can not say enough goods things about Albert and Amanda. I immediately felt comfortable and at ease. I also got plenty of WONDERFUL pictures!”


“From the meet and greet we had I knew she would take great care of Ethan while I was away. She was very responsive and so incredibly friendly and seemed to understand his body language. She is amazing and I am definitely going to book with her again!”


“Elizabeth and her family were wonderful with Sully! He received the best care with them. Elizabeth also sent lots of photo updates and kept us appraised of how he was doing while we were away. We would absolutely have Sully stay with Elizabeth again!”


“Dyan ensured that Deuce was safe and comfortable in her home. She provided me with daily photos and updates which made me feel at ease knowing that Deuce was in good hands. I will definitely continue to use Dyan in the future and recommend her services!”


“Erin took such great care of our Darla. This was only her 2nd night away and the longest she’s been away so I was very nervous. She has bad separation anxiety so I wasn’t sure how she would do but she warmed up to Erin and her family in no time. Erin was great with communication and sending pictures and updates. Darla will be going back to Erin’s in a couple of weeks for a longer stay and I know she is in good hands!”


About: With 18 years of experience caring for dogs and other beloved pets, plus hands-on volunteer work at an animal shelter, I’m passionate about providing exceptional care. Your fur babies will be treated like cherished family members!” Working from home gives me the flexibility to devote plenty of time and attention to your pet, ensuring they receive the love and care they deserve. I reside in a spacious three-story townhouse overlooking a beautiful golf course, offering plenty of scenic walks for your pet. Your furry friend will be safe and secure with me at all times, enjoying the freedom to explore my home with an abundance of toys to keep them entertained.”


“Maggie was great, she was super flexible and understanding! I’ve never left my dog with anyone before but I felt so at ease with Maggie’s updates and the friendliness of both her & her dog Moose with my boy Cody! Definitely recommend and will book with her again if needed in the future.”


“This is my last time with Tiffany and I am so bummed! We are relocating to a new state and I know my dog will miss her stays with them very much. Her family takes amazing care of my Bella and it’s such a blessing to be able to go away and know your dog is safe and loved. Highly recommend!”


“Coy was fabulous! He came and picked our honey girl up, who can be very theatrical lol. He had treats ready and was very knowlegable about gaining her trust and was able to provide us with tools to help calm her anxiety. He had honey out running around with other dogs, playing non stop, and sent us videos of her. She was tuckered out when we got her back! We will only be booking with coy!”


“I had a family wedding to go to and wanted to find a safe and comfortable place to leave Winston, my young dorgi (half dachshund, half corgi) who had never been away from me since I was lucky enough to get him. Laura and her family turned out to be the perfect people and place. With a beautiful, safe home out in the country, a deck and fenced in yard where he could play, a open-plan house where he was visible at all times, Laura’s place was perfect. And the bonus: three little girls who adored him and lavished attention upon him, much to his delight. Laura, herself, was wonderful, caring, professional, delightful. She took him on long walks which he loved, texted me photos and updates on this progress during the stay, saw to his every need and even made some recommendations to me as to feeding bowls which might slow his eating down (he snarfs up his food in seconds!). I was afraid he wouldn’t want to come home. But I think he knows he can go back and stay in this home away from home which he will definitely be doing the next time I need to go away without him. I can’t tell you the peace of mind that all this brought me, knowing that he was happy and being well-cared-for and loved.”


“Janelle was great with our dogs! She was responsive in her communication in booking our stay, asked good questions and made sure she understood our requirements during our meet and greet, and kept us updated on how our pets were doing while we were away. We had such a good experience and booked another session immediately after our first!”


“Sunny had a wonderful week with Sabrina and her family in their beautiful home. She loved the large fenced in backyard and playing with Luna. It’s always hard to leave our fur baby behind when we travel, but Sabrina put us at ease. We are so grateful for the wonderful care she gave Sunny!”


“There is no one more understanding on dog behavior like Rebecca. She understands and listens to you, your dog, she tends to every need, goes above and beyond on communicating with you before during and after the stay. I highly recommend her as my pup was so happy and comfortable with her; I'm very pleased to have found her! Thanks for everything you do Rebecca, Tesla & I love everything about you.”

About: We have a fenced backyard, we’re close to several parks and trails, our road is perfect for a quick walk & our dog loves to have friends to play with! My partner and I have opposite work schedules so time away from home is very little. We walk and play with our dog daily so it would be easy to fit another pup with our routine. We give lots of exercise with a daily walk around the cul-de-sac and yard play, keep up on basic training commands, and follow daily routines.
