“Winston had a great time! He got to run around and play with other dogs. Matthew & Ashley sent many photos of him playing and kept me updated during his stay! I will definitely be using them again!”


“Alita and Tim were very nice and did a great job with my 2 small dogs! They sent lots of pictures and were very accommodating to my schedule. Highly recommend!!”


“My experience with this sitter has been excellent. She genuinely cares about my dog and treats him as if he were her own! Even though my Dog and I just met her, she treated us both with more love, kindness and compassion than my own blood family! I definitely would recommend her 10/10! 🫶🏻”


“Mike did a great job watching my dog! He was super accommodating, flexible with his schedule, always quick to respond to my messages, and he sent cute pics and videos! My dog was happy and relaxed at the end of the stay. Highly recommend Mike!”


“Nicole is the absolute best!! Her family is so sweet, and they take such good care of my dog, Luna. They take her out and about with them, and the pictures i get Luna looks like she’s a part of the family!”


“Kathy was great! She made sure I felt comfortable with her watching Rajah through having a meet and greet. She asked great questions about Rajah to make sure her stay was a good one. I could tell right away her genuine love for other animals. I’m so glad to have another person that I can ask to watch Rajah!”

“Sasha took great care of our Oliver!! She committed to keeping his routine and was intentional about bonding with Oliver and keeping him active during his long stay. I would strongly recommend her!”



“Bree did an amazing job watching my dog, Beans! Asked lots of great questions to ensure she could care for him the best way possible! She’s very responsive and gave lots of updates. I will absolutely be using her services again, can’t recommend her enough!”



“Mary Anne was so sweet and my dog was well taken care of. Daily updates and I could tell that Kimmy was calm and stress free when I picked her up. Would definitely trust Mary Anne to take care of my dog again. Also her home is in close proximity to the airport so it was quick and easy to pick up my doggie after my flight home. You can tell that Mary Anne loves dogs and will treat yours well.”


“Skylar was amazing! She took great care of my dog Marley and she made him feel welcomed in her home. Her dog Goose was a welcome companion for Marley. She provided daily updates with pictures! I could tell by the pictures Marley was having a great time. Definitely will reach out to Skylar when I need to be out of town again!”


“Our pups have stayed with Hannah twice and both times have been great experiences. She communicated well, sent plenty of photos, and took good care of our dogs.”


“Excellent Care! My dog Lucy and I loved our experience while boarding her in John’s home! So many positives to say. I had an immediate need due to an injury and he was so flexible in working with me on the timing of my arrival because I needed to take an Uber to his home. I was anxious because I had never boarded her with anyone. His calmness and patience with My Lucy during Meet and Greet was reassuring that this was the perfect person to care for her. She started bonding with him within the first 5 minutes! My Lucy is an overanxious dog with separation anxiety . John spoke to her in soft voice. His large, fenced backyard is tranquil with scattered trees. He provided regular updates that included videos of Lucy playing in his backyard so I was never worried about her while she was away from me. He even shared his techniques to calm her in stressful situations while we are at home. So, when I needed to extend Lucy’s stay with him so I could continue to recuperate, I did without any worries. Highly recommend John to other Pet Parents!”


“Great experience. Louie enjoyed his stay and seemed happy. Julia was very nice and communicative. She sent photos and updates, which eased my mind while traveling. Highly recommend.”


“Parker was so happy when we picked him up from staying with Brett and Mercedes! They sent photos, videos and lots of updates! Made our trip even better knowing he was cared for like he was family.”



“Stephanie was so wonderful with our Pearl! Her family & Dixie were so welcoming to Pearl as they filled their weekend with fun activities for the pups. Pearl has a new friend in Dixie & we look forward to entrusting Stephanie with her again soon.”


“Absolute best experience I’ve had with Rover! I was a little nervous about leaving my pup with people I’ve never met, but my anxiety was immediately gone after I met Bootsie and her husband. They are the kindest, sweetest people on this earth and I can’t recommend them highly enough!”


“They were great sitters, they have a fully fenced big yard with a lovely dog. Katherine sent pics several times a day and I felt at ease that Oak was being cared for. Since he is still a pup they made sure he was tired running around in backyard and he has been pretty calm since I picked him up. They were also extremely flexible with me, as I was traveling and camping near by and my timing wasn't always accurate with weather and traffic. I would definitely use their services again when I'm in the Charleston area.”



“Mandie was AHHHHHHHMAZING!!!! She was the ultimate peace of mind with my two furbabies. Easy to talk to and just wonderful with our dogs, I would recommend Mandie to anyone looking for a "vacation home" for their pet. We were easily able to set up drop off and pick up times, she has a clean and very nicely kept home that's close to my home, has a great backyard for dogs and even sent me pictures while we were away to show our dogs having a great time. If I ever need someone to watch our dogs again, I now have Mandie's number on speed dial. :)”
