JULY 19-23, 2026- Summer Vacation- NO BOOKINGS "Genesis 2:15 (KJV)- And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it." **Celebrating 13 Years as 5-Star Rover Hosts & Star Sitters ** Trust Our 5-Star Pup-Sitting for the Pawsitive Experience Pups aged 3 and up Preferred. We host multiple pups from different families & have 2 resident pup boys! We Vet every client to make sure your pup is a fit for Our Pack! We are Selective! MEET N GREETS ARE MANDATORY NO HOLIDAY, OR SUNDAY PICKUPS/DROP-OFFS Weekend drops/ pickups begin at 9 AM Weekdays 8 AM ***CLOSED SUNDAY FOR CHURCH & FAMILY*** We are here Sundays enjoying our family. ***Our home, myself, my husband, & occasional college daughter can become your pup's home away from home.

Our property is nestled within shady oaks on our 2 Acre Johns Island Property*** We have 2 Resident Pups- Murphy (large breed) 75 pounds GSD/Catahoula mix and a Spike (small breed) mix 14 pounds, who love other pups. Murphy is older and not accepting younger High energy pups with puppy mentality. 3 years and older Preferred! I am a local REALTOR®, who works from home with a virtual brokerage. I do meet with clients outside my home so being able to be left for 2 hrs unsupervised is a must for pups who come to stay. Rover clients must be willing to be flexible with my schedule. ****** We are not a good fit if your pup can't be left alone for approximately 2-4 hours unmedicated and non-destructive to our property. That includes window blinds, carpet, furniture, doors, and walls. ***High-strung, Alpha types -Need Not Apply My GSD mix will test that during the M&G. He will be vocal to let me know. *** What do we look for? Calm, confident, well-behaved pups! We care for different pups from different families, and after 12 years, we know what works! Pups must be non-destructive and able to be alone for a couple of hours OR be crate-trained already. (Crate trained means- happily walks in, lies down, is quiet- no barking- no whining or scratching to get out.) Thank you! *MEET N GREETS* Before ACCEPTING "NEW BOOKINGS IS MANDATORY” * Booking AHEAD-IS Recommended- ONLY 3 Pups Stay per day/ More Personal Time With Each Pup. * Using Citizen Canine training (Citizen Canine- An Official Publication of the "American Kennel Club") * Fenced yard full of Shady Oaks and FUN! 5' Tall Chained Link Secure Fence ************ NO Climbers, Jumpers************** ******* NO Alpha's Ours Will Test Temperament (Calm, Confidant Guests Preferred)****** Supervised while outside. * MUST be "Non-destructive" in a home environment. * MUST be able to "Socialize" with other pups while here.

As a local REALTOR®, I do meet with clients. If you can't leave your pup for up to 2 hours at a time, we are not the best fit for you.

Holiday spots go fast; we recommend booking early and checking our calendar to see if we’ll be home. I update my Rover calendar regularly. I have a huge, fully-fenced backyard (60,000 square feet) and two pups to keep your fur baby company. We have many regulars who come to stay/play often. Thank you!

Yvette is incredible! She is so kind, and caring with her furry little boarders. Her home is pet friendly, allowing the pets to be fully integrated with her family. The outside environment is large, safe, and surrounded by secured fencing. The dogs receive constant supervision, and attention. Yvette is extremely diligent in providing daily updates, pictures, and videos of the dogs. We are very grateful to Yvette for her outstanding pet boarding services. We look forward to working with Yvette in future.

Schedule

I am a full-time REALTOR. I work from home. (Boarding ONLY in OUR Home. 2 Resident Pups + We Host Multiple Pups daily up to 3 from different families) This gives plenty of time to your pup while here. I do leave sometimes for a couple of hours, so your pup must be non-destructive or be crate trained ALREADY. Meaning happily goes in and happily stays without barking or trying to scratch to get out. This is our home.

***MEET N GREETS- MANDATORY** NO PUPS NOT FIXED! We strive to provide a loving, home environment while you are away. We love to "surprise" them with much of the same routine they enjoy at home. I have worked at "boarding" facilities but prefer more "personalized, private" care. I'm home full-time but occasionally have to go to the office/events/clients. John is my loving, wonderful husband. Katie is away at College but visits frequently. Go Teal Nation! Coastal Carolina University- She's also well versed in doggy body language, as Yvette & Murphy are. She is never in full charge of the pups but helps with their care. She's grown up with pups her WHOLE life. We accept pups on an individual basis after a Meet-and-Greet evaluation. Thanks for reading our style of "Hosting". We look forward to meeting you and Welcoming you into our "Pack". Woof Woof We no longer accept pups from out of town who can't come to a Meet n Greet. We no longer accept Same Day Bookings. A Meet n Greet in person is MANDATORY
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
