1 Family at a Time: I only accept one client family at a time so your pup will receive personalized care without the stress of a crowded boarding environment. This setup works especially well for puppies, anxious dogs, seniors, or dogs who simply do better with a calmer environment. About Our Home & Routine: We live in a quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood with a fully fenced backyard where pups can safely play, sniff, and explore. Dogs enjoy regular potty breaks, supervised playtime, enrichment activities, belly rubs, and lots of companionship throughout the day. I also closely follow feeding routines and medication schedules when needed. Meet Josie: We also have our sweet chocolate Lab,Josie! She is extremely friendly and social and has done wonderfully with every person, dog, and cat she has met so far. Josie enjoys meeting friendly dogs and would love a playmate during your pup's stay. Meet & Greets & Communication: I highly encourage meet & greets before boarding, especially for first-time stays. I want both you and your pup to feel comfortable and confident before booking. Communication is very important to me, and I always do my best to stay flexible with drop-off and pick-up times whenever possible.

A typical day

Every dog is different, so I try to adjust each day based on your pup’s personality, energy level, and routine. Some dogs enjoy extra playtime and outdoor sniffing while others prefer naps and quiet companionship. I love creating a calm, home-like environment where dogs can relax, feel included, and settle into a comfortable routine during their stay.

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm Kernix — a military spouse, dog lover, and proud chocolate Lab mom to Josie! I know how important it is to find a safe, loving, and stress-free place for your pup while you're away. My goal is to provide a true "home away from home" experience with lots of attention, structure, and affection. I grew up around animals and have always loved caring for them. Growing up, we had pugs, chihuahuas, bunnies, and hamsters, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. We moved to South Carolina in October 2025 after previously being stationed in Washington. My husband is originally from Myrtle Beach, SC, and we've loved settling into the Summerville community and making it feel like home.

They did a great job taking care of our lab Tucker. Booking and communication were very smooth. Made Tucker feel right at home and kept me updated throughout my trip. Would recommend!

She was so accommodating, easy to work with and available. She was kind and communicative and helped my dog feel at home.

I've known Kernix for a long time and would trust her with my own dog without hesitation. She is responsible, patient, and genuinely loves animals. Anyone who has seen how she cares for Josie knows how much attention and affection she gives to dogs. I wouldn't hesitate to leave my own dog with her.

I've known Kernix for several years, and one thing I've always admired about her is how much she loves and cares for animals. She is incredibly patient, responsible, and attentive to details. Watching her raise and care for her chocolate Lab, Josie, has shown me just how dedicated she is to providing a safe, happy, and loving environment for dogs. Kernix is the kind of person who goes above and beyond to make sure pets are comfortable and well cared for. She communicates well, stays organized, and genuinely treats animals like family. I trust her with my own dog Woody without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.
