Pet care experience

Loving dogs for half a century!

Semi-retired couple happy to care for your pet! One works from home and is available to keep your dog company during the day. We have had many of our own dogs, as many as four at a time, and are excited to have this opportunity to bring a dog into our home again. We are very attentive and just had our backyard fenced in for the purposes of hosting more dogs. We have watched dogs of friends and family since we relocated to West Ashley. We would love to keep your dog company while you are unable to do so. We do not have children in the home or pets of our own. We are willing to host dogs who are used to being together.

Bootsie and her husband took great care of Max! They did everything possible to make him feel as comfortable as possible and max loved having a fenced in backyard. Would use them again!

Love Tom and Bootsie! Wouldn't take our senior cockapoo anywhere else. They treat him as if he was their own and we never have to worry while we're gone! Highly recommend!

Bootsie & Tom took such great care of my pup while I was away for a long weekend. They sent updates and pictures enjoying her time in their home. I felt at ease while away knowing she is taken care of. Highly recommend and will most definitely be booking with them in the future!!

Bootsie and Tom take great care of Winston when we are away. Winston is an anxious dog that takes awhile to warm up and they are very patient and attentive to his needs. We get frequent updates and feel very comfortable leaving him in their care. We will definitely use them again!

Tom and Bootsie are wonderful! We’ve been using them for years now. They provide daily pics and updates. They’re very conscientious about administrating our senior dog’s medicine per the instructions that can change from time to time and are always thinking of his comfort. We wouldn’t take him anywhere else. Highly recommend!

I work at home and my husband Tom is retired so one or both of us is generally always home. We love to be as attentive to our guest's needs as they would like.
