Ask me about my $20 off promo code!†† If you’re checking out this profile, then you’ve come to the right place. Your pooch will feel right at home in “La Casa de Campbell.” My husband, Tom, and I like to consider our home a “Four Paw Resort.” Here your pooch is treated like the VIP they truly are. We like to think of ourselves as the ultimate vacation spot for your furbaby as well as their home away from home. When your furbaby stays with us, they will enjoy: • 24/7 care (My husband & I work from home) • FREE snacks (Ex: milk bones, bacon chews, etc - if allowed) • Frequent rubs • Fresh, cool water to drink daily • Fun toys to play/chew on • A big, comfy doggy bed to sleep/relax on (We also provide clean blankets) • Constant supervision (If Tom & I both briefly have to step out, we have security cameras in and outside the house. We can check on your pet from our smartphones. In fact, we do it with our own dog) • A spacious yard with fence to safely roam and enjoy beautiful views of the pond and surrounding nature. ---------------------------------- WHAT YOU GET ---------------------------------- • Peace of mind knowing that your pooch is in good hands (We are a fully insured business through Pet Sitters Associates LLC) • A sitter who's been educated on pet first aid/CPR through the American Red Cross • Flexibility (Plane delayed? Trip extended? Traffic delay? Emergency? I can adapt to your schedule) • Regular photos/videos of your pooch enjoying his/her STAYCATION at La Casa de Campbell • Rapid Response (Have a question? Need to reach me while your pet is in my care? My phone is ALWAYS on me) ---------------------------------- EXPERIENCE THAT COUNTS ---------------------------------- My husband and I know a thing or two about taking care of pets, too. Until March 9, 2018, we believe we owned the oldest dog in the Lowcountry, possibly even the state of South Carolina. He was a 20-year-old Dalmatian named Scootie. He was given top-notch care until the very end. We presently own an adorable rescue dog named Bandit (half Chihuahua/half Miniature Pincher). Bandit thinks he's human. He sleeps on his back, prefers people food and loves to wear clothes. In early 2017, he was voted "Lowcountry's Cutest Pet" by the Post & Courier, so he's a celebrity of sorts, and he knows it! In late September 2018, we began fostering an older Dalmatian named Sarge. He is a rescue dog. I grew up on a farm in the sticks of Berkeley County. So from cows to pigs to chickens, I've had a variety of pets over the years. Tom isn't as much a country bumpkin as I am. He had the usual pets growing up--dogs and even a cat named "Boo Boo Kitty." (Seriously, that was the cat's name.) ---------------------------------- CONSTANT SUPERVISION ---------------------------------- Because Tom and I are both self-employed, we spend the majority of our time working from home. Sixty percent of the time, your dog will have two "critter sitters" carefully looking after them. The other 30 percent of the time, myself, or Tom, will keep a close eye on your pooch. The remaining 10 percent of the time when Tom and I both have to briefly step out, we'll check on them from our smartphones. We have surveillance cameras in and outside of our home. We are high tech like that :-) ---------------------------------- UNDIVIDED ATTENTION ---------------------------------- We are way better than a kennel because we limit our pet intake and dogs are never crated when humans are around (unless the dog's owner requests it). SEE BELOW FOR MORE DETAILS. We believe that your dog deserves lots of 1-on-1 time. Limiting our dog intake for the most part also allows us to give your dog the best experience possible. We generally board no more than *3 dogs at a time and leave 2 spots available for daycare. Depending on when you book, your pup could very well be the only one in our care. *PLEASE BE AWARE: On rare occasions, but particularly around a holiday, we may exceed our limit due to a client who may need to extend the stay of their pet or a regular client who needs a last minute sitter. Our house will never be a "zoo," but if this is an issue for you, we wish you the best of luck in your sitter search. I can assure you, however, other sitters face similar situations at times. For the sake of transparency, we are upfront about it. 90% of the time, we stay within our limit or less. ---------------------------------- OUR HOME ---------------------------------- My husband and I live on 13 acres, which is located approximately 5 minutes from Macedonia Middle School. The property backs up to the Francis Marion National Forest. On the property is a 1-acre pond and we have our own winding, private driveway. Our house is a very large, modern/contemporary home, so your pooch will have plenty of room to roam around. We have a large fence on the back of our home to let the dogs safely enjoy the outdoors. This is the ultimate peaceful, country living with complete privacy. ---------------------------------- OUR BACKGROUNDS ---------------------------------- Before our 2016 New Year's Eve wedding, Tom and I used to work together for several years at a local TV station in the Charleston area. My background is in journalism and his is in IT and engineering. Tom also has his own IT company. He left the TV station in 2016 to focus on his company full-time. I have my own PR company as well as manage a popular Lowcountry news site. Tom and I are both very active in our communities, too. He is a longtime member of The Exchange Club of Charleston. I'm a wish granter for Make-A-Wish, a member of the National Daughters of the American Revolution and National Daughters of the War of 1812. I'm a former reserve deputy sheriff for a nearby county.
