Doggy Day Care in Elwood

“Aliyah was great with Toulouse. He’s a pretty nervous dog and was recovering from heat exhaustion and ripped up paws and she (and Deuce!) were incredibly loving, gentle, and patient with him.”

“My dog ("Beans") was at ease with Wenxu and her husband from the moment we arrived. I was provided with regular updates and pictures regarding her care and status. Communication response time was quick and efficient. I will definitely use Wenxu to watch Beans when the need arises again and would highly recommend her!”

“Dan and Denise are awesome. Our two dogs spent two days with them and they had a great time. Dan's text updates and videos were greatly appreciated and really put us at ease - the dogs were having a blast running around the huge yard and then resting comfortably in the house. By day two they boys were so excited to be going back there that they pretty much dragged me to their front door and excitedly greeted Dan. Dan and Denise treated the boys as though they were their own beloved companions, I can't say enough good about them and will definitely be using their services again, (-:”

“Luna has mild separating anxiety, so it took her a few days to get used to spending time with her new friends. Now she can't contain her excitement every time we pull up to Matt's house! Matt always kept us updated with pictures throughout her stay and gave us feedback on how she did. I highly recommend him as your next dog sitter!”

About: My name is Nicole and I'm 24 years old. I have about 15 years of experience with caring for dogs. My mother is a professional dog breeder who raised me with 5 or more dogs around at all times since I was the age of 3. Therefore, I have been caring for dogs since I was a very young girl and truly know all of the ins and outs of anything dog related. I have also worked at a doggy daycare a few years back, which gave me more experience with dogs of all breeds and sizes. I have proficient experience in training, grooming, giving medications, walking and generally caring for dogs of all breeds. I currently live in a pet friendly studio apartment in downtown Charleston. There is much room for dog boarding of any size. I wholeheartedly have lots of fun while looking after dogs of all kinds, and it is my priority to keep your fur baby safe, happy and healthy! I am looking forward to connecting with you! 🦴🐶🐾 I am currently a part time student, so I will have plenty of time to care for your pup! I am available on weekdays anytime after two and anytimei on the weekends. I have a large fenced in yard and a very friendly 10 year old chihuahua to keep your pup company. I also can easily crate your dog if needed!

“Nelson was incredible from first point of contact to pick up! (Props to Teddy as well!) I'd schedule time for Lexi under his care again, without hesitation!”

“Sapna was an amazing sitter! She sent me photo updates throughout the day, took my dogs to the dog park, and thoroughly wore them out. They really seemed to have a great time. 6 out of 5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

About: I offer a personalized boarding experience by caring for one dog at a time. This allows me to give your pup my full attention and keep the environment low-stress. I do allow occasional short overlaps (a few hours to less than a day) during transitions, but never more than that. Your dog’s comfort and safety are always my priority. With over 19 years of personal dog experience, I believe dogs are family and deserve the best life we can give them. I’m a stay-at-home mom with two kids (1 and 4 years old), and our furry visitors often enjoy the extra love and attention from them. If your dog enjoys children and a homey atmosphere, they’ll fit right in. We’re home most of the day, and our baby-proofed home makes a safe space for both kids and dogs! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a stay-at-home mom. My children and I are home for most of the day, so there’s plenty of time and attention to give to the dogs in my care. Whether it’s welcoming dogs into our home or making time for walks and visits, I’m available throughout the day—aside from the occasional errand. Our home is a safe and loving environment, making it a great place for dogs to feel comfortable and cared for. I’m happy to cater to your pet’s specific needs to ensure a successful visit. I can take your dog for a walk, play in the yard (and clean up after them), or enjoy indoor playtime. After our meet and greet, I’ll ask you to fill out a detailed boarding form to make sure I fully understand your pet’s wants and needs. I’ll also send you updates and photos to keep you informed about how your dog is doing!

About: I've trained a 3 dogs since they were a puppies, training them in several important commands. I had helped train commands in dogs for many years. Sometimes people are too busy to train their dogs, i understand that! I am here to help with that and make sure your fur baby is the well listening best friend you always wanted them to be! I have full access to my time and can fit people in same day if needed! I just need a couple hours to get to wherever i am requested. I have an open apartment that is very close to the Huntington village and can take your dog on exciting walks. Or i can dedicate my time to playing with the dog and making sure they are loved while you are gone. I have an attention to care for your furbaby that I'd give to my own dog.

“Dawn took such good care of our dog. We were only in town for the weekend for a wedding and she treated us like her best clients. A total pro who loves dogs.”

About: My husband and I grew up with dogs and have loved and cared for many over the years including our first doggy child, Molly. She has since crossed the rainbow bridge and although we’re not quite ready yet for a new dog, we’re happy to share our built up puppy love to provide a safe and loving environment while you’re away. At our home, all dogs become part of our family and I will reinforce any behaviors you maintain in your own home. But if your pet is used to couch cuddles they’ll get the same thing here! They’ll have all of the love and comforts of home that cannot be matched by any traditional boarding place, while receiving personal attention as they’re in space where they’ll be the only dog. It’s a change for your dog to go from one home to a new one. However, I find that having a home with no personal pets and no other boarders helps to ease the transition and get them acclimated quickly. I work from home full time so your pet would have nearly 24/7 care. It makes me so happy to be able to spend my workday with a fuzzy friend! You’d be aware of all times where I wouldn’t be home but this typically does not exceed 2 hours. When the weather is nice, the family and I try to be out as much as possible and will always bring your dog along for the fun! I enjoy getting out for walks several times a day to stretch out my legs after extensive periods behind a desk. If your dog is up for it, then I’m happy to get to bring them on my walks! I have a large, fenced yard with a designated “potty” area. There are no other pets in the home so even the most anti social of pups are welcomed here. Since I work from home, I’m able to accommodate almost any feeding, medication or bathroom schedule and provide lots of cuddles! I care about the safety and wellness of your pet above all else and have been certified in pet CPR and first aid. If your dog will be joining us in the car, I have a harness for their safety while traveling.

About: I am recently retired and a new dog owner as of 2024. I enjoy spending time with dogs and my own dog, Tilly, is very socialable with other dogs and humans. The fenced in backyard is a combination of grass and woods, providing plenty of areas to explore, relax and play. Currently retired and a relatively new dog owner (1+ year). I can host your pet any day of the week providing I am home. I enjoy walking, playing and napping with my dog Tilly and would provide the same level of care for your dog. My backyard is fenced in and provides plenty of space to roam around. There are paths through the wooded area, a large section of grass and plenty of shade. On a pleasant day, your pup will spend a good deal of time playing with our dog Tilly outside and then napping on the couch or an outside bed.

“Ryan did a great job caring for Oscar. I'll definitely contact him again.”

“It was absolutely wonderful experience for my dog as well as myself so I did not have to worry about him. Nav and her husband welcomed Simba with an open arms. She sent me a numerous photos and messages to assure he is doing well and taking good care of. I will definitely use her services in the future.”

“Our dog loved his stay at Ginia’s! He came home tired from a day full of running and playing! With easy drop off/ pick up and updates throughout the day this was a great day not only for our dog but us too.”

“Wonderful family and adorable doodle! Our puppy loves seeing them for day care each week. We couldn’t have found a better family, situation to help us with our puppy while we transitioned back to the office. I HIGHLY recommend Alicia and Jermaine - and their doodle! Our little guy has learned good traits from their pup! They really are the best!”

“Marcia took amazing care of our Golden Retriever Kennedy! Highly recommend and would love for her to watch Kennedy again. Kennedy had so much fun playing in their lovely yard and came home happy and tired!”
