Downtown Charleston Dog Nanny!
Pet care experience
As a Rover customer, I know how important is it to leave your babies with someone who cares! Your dog will be treated as part of our family. I'm a part-time nanny to a veterinarian, and my husband is in Law School. We have two very loving dogs. We have a completely cage free home. We do not believe in crating dogs for long periods of time. Our building has an awesome dog park as well. We love taking long walks downtown, and to the beach. About this sitter: Along with offering Full service dog nannying, I can come to your dogs! Some dogs feel more comfortable staying in their own home. I can spend the whole day with your dogs, or come throughout the day! You can also choose if you want your dog home and at our place for a nice mix of comfort and socialization! Trips to the beach, dog park, and long walks are always included with me. An active dog is a happy dog! I accept all breeds and sizes. Preference to those adopted locally from our wonderful Shelters! Please Note: Due to mutiple issues we've had with owners not being honest about their dogs, we will be requiring a $50/$100 refundable deposit with doggy stays! If you assure us your dog is house trained, we expect them to be! No mutiple accidents, destroyed items, and excessive barking. Also, all dogs MUST be fixed and up to date on all shots/fleas meds. If a flea outbreak happens, you will be responsible for all cleaning expenses! We love dog sitting but lately have been taken advantage of. We reserve the right to drop your dog off at a kennel if these issues happen. By booking with us, you agree to all terms listed above! No Exceptions!!! We want a positive experience for your dogs as well as mine! :)
Reviews
Spicy seemed to have enjoyed his experience. I only would want pictures or a video during the stay in order to see his current state.
Linus had a great time with Michelle. She keep me up to date with text messages and pictures and that really made me feel at ease. I know that Linus had a great time hanging out with her 2 dogs - he probably didn't miss us at all.
Another great stay! Penny loves being at Michelle's, and she is always our first choice sitter! Thanks again!
We had such a good experience with Michelle the first time that I knew Penny would once again be in good hands. When we dropped her off, Penny was so excited that she trotted away without looking back! Sure, it's a bit sad as a pet parent to be away from her, but it's great to know how much she loves being at Michelle's. We did not have phone service while on our trip, but Michelle still sent photos. When I turned on my phone, it was so nice to see what Penny had been up to! Michelle's dogs, Lady and Roxy, are gracious hostesses too, and don't mind sharing their couches, blankets, and beds with guests!

Why I love dog sitting I grew up with dogs all my life! I have two furry babies of my own. Both adopted from the pound. I always dog sit for my friends and family. I'm also a nanny to a veterinarian. Whenever she goes on vacation, I watch over her dogs.

I have zero breed restrictions. I love all dogs! I do not believe in bad dogs, just bad owners ;). I especially love any dog adopted from our local shelters! PLEASE NOTE!! We have recently had issues with owners not being honest with how house broken their furry babies are! One accident here and there is expected. However, if you pet is known to "Mark" areas, or has multiple issues in a single day that becomes a problem. Also, if you assure us your pup doesn't chew or rip up items, and they do, that is another issue. From now on, we are going to be requiring a $50/$100 deposit on new visitors. Completely refundable once the stay has ended if there was no damage. Thank you! :)
A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks We take our dogs on long walks all over downtown. We love going to the parks! We also love taking the dogs on evening walks at Folly Beach. Your dog's sleeping arrangement On the couch, dog bed, our bed! Wherever your doggy feels comfortable! Time I'll spend with your dog Between my husband and I, the dog will only be alone a few hours a day. They will have my furry babies to keep them company! Time I'll spend with your dog We plan on spending plenty of time with your pups! I have a very flexible work schedule! Extra house-sitting services Whatever the owners need! :)
