Top rated Shepherd dog boarders
“Our boy always enjoys time with Jason. Jason goes above and beyond to incorporate sensory play time, walks, and cuddles, no matter the duration of stay. We recommend him 100% of the time.”
“Bennet is very responsible and careful. She really looked after my Dexter. I was able to attend several urgent meetings with the peace of mind that she was taking care of Dexter. Her dog is very friendly and loving, and my Dexter had a good time there. I would definitely board my Dex with her again. Thank you so much Bennet for being so sweet and caring.”
“We have been leaving our dog Wallace with Ed and Laura for 7 years. We keep going back because we know that she is well cared for and loved. Most recently she stayed for 3 weeks and we knew she was in good hands and had no worry’s while we were out of the country.”
“This was our first time ever boarding a dog and using Rover. Cher made this a great experience for us and our puppy! When we met Cher at drop off, it was evident that she loves animals and is knowledgeable about them. Her own two dogs were well trained and excited to meet and play with our puppy. Cher asked questions about his schedule and training commands to ensure consistency. When we picked up our puppy, it was obvious that he was well cared for, and he was tired from all of the play time with Cher’s dogs. Cher set the bar high for future Rover sitters! If you live in the Mt. Pleasant area or are going to be visiting the Mt. Pleasant area, I would highly recommend Cher to take care of your dog/puppy.”
“It’s always a 5/5 experience with Erin! Our pup loves going there and she gives him so much love. This past time he wasn’t feeling too well before we dropped him off so Erin kept a close eye on him and sent us extra pictures/videos which put us more at ease. Absolutely recommend!”
“Kumar took such good care of my dog! He was gentle, kind, fed him with very specific instructions and made my dog feel at home in his apartment. He sent photos and updates daily. I would highly recommend him as a dog sitter!”
“Jeanne was wonderful with my dog, Ginger. This was my first time using Rover and leaving Ginger with anyone besides family. Jeanne was very friendly and sent pictures of Ginger throughout her time there which was reassuring. My dog loved being able to run around in the fenced in yard. Would highly recommend!”
“I am SO HAPPY we found Larissa! She is sweet, easy to talk with, and most importantly, amazing with Carini! She loved staying with her for a week. Larissa sent me updates and pictures every day and I could tell how great of a time my girl was having. Safe to say, we'll be doing some daycare days in the future so she can see them again ??”
“She was fantastic with Luna. Jessica sent us tons of pictures and updates about Luna’s day & eating. She also kept Luna playing and happy. Jessica is professional and caring. Would book again.”
“Kathy was very patient, loving, & understanding with my 12 yr dog Rocki. It was wonderful to know he was safe & secure with reassuring pictures & notes she sent. Her dog Kiri was so calm & welcoming to mine. We are So blessed to have found them. Rocki's missing them already 🥰”
“Claire did great with Sansa. She was accommodating for us, took great care of our dog, and sent us updates and pictures as well! Sansa came home and acted just like normal, so I knew she was perfectly comfortable and that says a lot for me. Would use Claire again for sure!”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets for all of my life, but especially the last 10 years. I will probably enjoy playing with your pets just as much as they will, if not more. Having vetmed experience, I feel more than comfortable tending to your fur babies! I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time for your pets. I work out of town on Tuesdays & Fridays 7am-5pm. Other than that, I am available for your furry friends! I have a fenced in yard, and a playful (vaccinated and spayed) golden retriever roommate. I can make accommodations according to your preferences and your pet’s comfort.
“Jennifer was amazing with our two 1 year old pups. She is great at reading dog behavior and even helped train them a bit while they stayed. She kept in touch and sent pictures while we were gone too. She was very responsive to all my messages and concerns. She really did care for them like we would have! They also made friends with a few of her dogs. She was amazing and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter or trainer with experience!”
“Ashly was great! Very accommodating to our schedule and to our boy Hank. We had an enjoyable and relaxing get away knowing Hank was well taken care of! Highly recommend, and will definitely call Ashley again when we are in the area next summer!”
“Christin was so accommodating and understanding when I was running late to pick Landen up. He has so much fun staying with her and is well taken care of. Christin does a fabulous job communicating and keeping me updated with how my pup is doing. Couldn’t recommend her more!”
