Pet Boarding Laureldale

About: I’ve owned a variety of pets (turtles, dogs, cats, ducks, geese) for 35 years, & watched neighbors’ pets, caring, playing with, loving every minute! My husband (my high school sweetheart) and I live on our adorable 200 year old, 43 acre farm with trails to walk on, a large pond, several yards and fields to run in, and the coziest, clean farm house where there’s always a comfy spot to curl up in or a room to roam or play in. We 2 have older sons, one at Coastal Carolina University and one who lives at home while working day and night on his Landscape Business. I have experience with senior dogs and cats, puppies and kittens. Our senior dog of 18 and our senior cat of 17 passed away last year, so we decided that it is now time to spread our love to new pets by opening our home up to new families. I have my masters degree in Speech Pathology, and I have worked with children for over 25 years, with my specific focus on young, special needs children. I take that experience along with me when I watch pets, always caring, fun, kind and compassionate. I am detail oriented, dedicated, playful, and I don’t give a spill or mess a second thought. I just take care of it and all problems easily. I am energetic and love walking/ hiking daily. We will provide outside fun time, can go for walks, ect. We will treat your pets like our own by loving them, cuddling, and caring for their every need. There is always someone available to fill your pets every needs! We will take your dogs out to the bathroom as often as needed, provide baths if needed, follow your feeding schedules, and provide plenty of rest or exercise, at your request! We’ll provide photos, videos of your pet through your trip, and we are Always available by phone. We will treat your pets as our own, caring, compassionate, fun, play, walk, clean up after, provide medicine if needed or treat any special need.

About: I have experience caring for my family’s two beautiful Australian Shepherds, each with a personality completely their own! First, there’s Coco—also known as “Loco Coco.” She is incredibly sweet, very anxious, smart as hell, and somehow equally goofy. Caring for Coco has taught me the importance of patience, reassurance, and understanding that every dog experiences the world differently. Then there’s Ember. She’ll growl when you pet her… and then growl when you stop petting her! She can be misunderstood and a little moodier, but she is also incredibly loyal and loving in her own unique way. Ember has taught me to respect boundaries, understand body language, and recognize that affection doesn’t always look the same for every dog. Having experience with two very different temperaments has helped me become patient, understanding, and adaptable when caring for animals. I approach every pet as an individual and will take the time to learn what makes your furry family member feel comfortable, happy, and loved. Whether your pet is energetic, anxious, goofy, independent, cuddly, or a little misunderstood, I will provide care personalized to their individual wants and needs. Your pet deserves someone who will treat them with patience, understanding, confidence, and plenty of love—regardless of their personality! I currently work full-time as an Environmental Scientist with a flexible schedule due to the nature of my work. My position allows me to work remotely, in an office, and onsite at facilities, which gives me flexibility and makes me accommodating when it comes to scheduling pet and house sitting. I am also open to traveling and overnight stays! Because I can work remotely at times, I enjoy the opportunity to spend time in new places while also providing reliable care for your home and pets. I truly miss having furry friends of all shapes and sizes around, and I would love the opportunity to give them plenty of attention, care, and companionship while you’re away. I am very accommodating and will always do my best to work with your schedule, your pets’ routines, and your individual needs. Your home is your safe space—your sanctuary after long days—and the last thing I would ever want is to disturb that peace of mind. I would treat your home and your pets with the same care, respect, and consideration that I would want for my own. This is your time to relax, travel, and enjoy your vacation or whatever may take you away from home. The last thing you should have to worry about is paying for a service while feeling uncomfortable or uneasy about leaving your beloved pets and home with someone you don’t know. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing that your home is being respected and your pets are being cared for with genuine attention and compassion—so you can truly relax while you’re away.

“Amanda did a wonderful job taking care of my dog Chip. She kept me posted on how she was doing and sent pictures of Chip racing around her large fenced-in back yard. I will definitely be using Amanda again.”

“This is the second time we have boarded with Ms. Anna - I cannot say enough praise - she is amazing with our high energy Husky! She sent updates and photos and genuinely loves animals. She is our go-to caregiver :)”

“Christine did an amazing job pet sitting our 5 month old puppy for a week at her house. I felt very comfortable with her experience with dogs, and loved that our puppy got to socialize with her dogs while she was there. She has a fantastic yard that enabled our puppy to get a lot of exercise. Christine sent at least one photo/video (if not more) a day to show us how Reesie was doing which made us feel confident that she was getting the best care. She also had to give our dog medicine, and even did some of our puppy training with her so she didn’t lose what we had been working on. We came home to a tired and happy dog. We will definitely use Christine in the future!”

About: To me, pet sitting is never just a job; it is a commitment to keeping your best friend safe, happy, and loved. I know how deeply difficult it is to leave your dog behind. That is why my primary goal is to provide a seamless "home away from home" experience where your pet becomes a cherished part of my family. With over six years of dedicated dog care experience and as a proud parent to my own friendly 3.5-year-old dog, I understand canine behavior and companionship deeply. Your pup will instantly have a built-in playmate and a comforting routine. Your pup will never be lonely here, as I am home full-time to provide constant care, attention, and companionship, meaning our guest dogs enjoy round-the-clock supervision and love from dedicated adult. I maintain a reliable, active routine where our dog, Bruno, enjoys a 20 to 30-minutes walk twice every day, and your dog will be happily included in all of our daily strolls. While I do not have a fenced yard, your dog will get plenty of outdoor exercise and socialisation. Inside, I offer an incredibly spacious layout designed for canine comfort. I have a dedicated separate room and a large, finished basement where guest dogs can freely play, run around, and sleep securely. To ensure a safe, healthy, and clean environment for our young toddler, our own dog, and your pup, I ask that all guest dogs be fully potty trained and up-to-date on all vaccinations. Beyond offering a fun environment, I bring peace of mind. I am highly experienced in administering oral medications, so you can rest assured that any specific healthcare routines your dog requires will be handled safely, accurately, and on time. Because we have a toddler, I maintain a very clean, structured, and safe home environment where all interactions between dogs and children are closely supervised. I treat every guest dog like a member of our own family, ensuring they get plenty of affection, exercise, and personalized care!

“My girl came home happy and she didn't want to leave her vacation! Erica was communicative and sent a picture or video almost every day which I told her gave huge comfort to my toddler.
