“Alyssa was phenomenal! My dog can be a bit energetic (understatement…) upon meeting new people, but Alyssa stayed super calm while my dog ran in circles around her house until she finally wore herself out. Alyssa was kind and gracious and sent lots of pictures and loved on my crazy pup like she was her own! I truly cannot recommend her enough!”
“Sasha is absolutely wonderful!! Super easy to work with, flexible, and responsive. She sent the most adorable photos and videos which made being away from my dog a little bit easier. My dog seemed so happy and relaxed when I picked him up. I feel really lucky and relieved to have found a great sitter like Sasha- already booked my next boarding! Highly recommend!”
“Nadra was phenomenal! My dog felt so at home with Nadra. She sent photos on a daily base. She kept me updated every step of the way. I high recommend Nadra as a doggy sitter. I will most definitely call her again soon.”
“Hannah was wonderful with my two fur babies. I have a 12-year-old Maltese and a three year-old Siberian husky mix and she treated them very well. The dogs were very happy when they came back that’s my sign that they were treated very well. I will definitely call Hannah again. She is a gem.”
“Abi is such a great sitter! Even if she has 3 golden retrievers at the same time she makes sure they all got the attention, walks, potty breaks and treats they all need. She made sure they all had a golden time and she deserves a golden review!”
“Rosie had a great time with Carly and her family. She responded quickly to questions, posted pictures and gave daily updates. Our dog even had a good time with the other dogs that were there too. We would use her again. Thank you, Carly!”
“Lunas stay at Caitlin’s was great! She had a blast with Chloe and was so cared for while we were out of town! Caitlin sent updates and pictures every day and I know Luna was in good hands!! Thanks for taking such good care of my girl.”
“Julia is great! Very kind, worked with me well- kept me informed and sent lots of pictures and stories of my dog while I was gone on vacation. I’ll definitely have her sit my dog again!”

“Allison is fantastic! She cared for our 4 month old puppy and was so attentive a patient. She even worked with her on basic training and when we came home I noticed a huge difference in Chloes’s obedience. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“We cannot say enough good things about Bootsie and Tom!! They are simply the nicest people and they took the BEST care of our dog while we were out of town for a wedding. As this was the first time we had ever left our dog in someone else’s care we were extremely nervous…we definitely had NO reason to be as he was in the very best hands while we were away! Bootsie and Tom provided us pictures and detailed updates and were extremely responsive to any messages we sent. We will ABSOLUTELY use their services again! Thanks again for such a great long weekend for our little guy!”
“Connie was great! She was very informative during our meet and greet about how she cares for dogs, so I felt very comfortable leaving Charlotte with her. Thanks, Connie!”
“Toad had a great time ! She got to run around in a lovely huge backyard and had constant attention, plus another Pug to play with. She even got to explore the neighborhood with walks. I can tell she misses her new Pug friend too. Abby even mixed some of her own food with Toads to get to her to eat there since she was a little nervous the first day. I was kept updated with pictures and communication the whole time. I can tell Toad had a wonderful time and would use Abigail again to watch Toad for a day or boarding without hesitation!”
“Tyler took great care of our dog Winslow! His dog Tobias and our dog Winslow played together nonstop and we came home to a very happy pup! Tyler sent consistent updates, took Winslow on frequent walks, and spoiled him with treats. It really was doggy sleep-away camp for our boy. Thank you Tyler!”
“They took such good care of our pooch who enjoyed her stay and had comfy places to snuggle. They were also very communicative and flexible and we appreciate the pictures. Thank you!”
“Jonathan and Carla did a fantastic job taking care of Lily. We did a meet and greet and our dogs got along great, and Lily is a total extrovert so I was happy that she got to spend the weekend playing with her dog buddies! The cost of boarding was more affordable but by no means less valuable. These guys are a great pick for anyone looking for budget friendly dog care! Thanks again ❤️”

“Christine was a new-to-me sitter and accepted a relatively last-minute booking over the winter holidays for my rabbit and cat. Everything went perfectly, and the cat and bunny have no complaints (which is rather unusual when I’ve been gone awhile). I’m so grateful for your help, Christine!”

“Desiree was a great sitter for our two cats. She checked on them daily while we were away and shared cute pictures. We know they were well cared for over our long trip. Even better as cat owners, we came home to a very clean cat area which isn’t easy to maintain given how quickly litter can track. We would absolutely request Desiree again and 10/10 recommend for anyone else looking for a sitter.”

About: My house is located in Park Circle in North Charleston and has a fenced in backyard great for playing. I enjoy taking Dez on walks and runs and would love to do the same with your fury friend. I also live by a few parks to take your dog out to play! I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I currently work from home part time and have a flexible schedule to accommodate a drop in service- refresh the water bowl, short walk for business or available for full 30 minute walk. Boarding available with notice required. I am known to adapt to the lifestyle my clients give their furry friends. Whether you want your dog taking on long walks or runs at the park playing fetch. At home I ensure pups get plenty of exercise and go out after breakfast and dinner.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have always had a deep love for all animals. I currently have a 5 year old Great Dane/Lab mix named Maxwell who keeps me active, attentive and well-versed in daily dog care and companionship. Needless to say, I am comfortable with large breeds! I am a kind, caring and reliable person who truly enjoys spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy and loved! I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy looking after your fur baby! I work remotely, which allows me a flexible schedule and the ability to step away throughout the day as needed. This makes it easy for me to provide consistent attention, walks, playtime and check-ins without rushing. I prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable and loved. I am very attentive, loving, reliable and I treat every pet as if it were my own.
“Alyssa watched my Goldendoodle, Roscoe yesterday. She was super communicative, sending me pictures and videos throughout the day. I could tell he was being very well cared for. He is scared of new people and other dogs, and she followed all of my directions on helping him through his big feelings. Thank you so much, Alyssa! I will definitely be using you again!”
About: I love all animals! I have two senior dogs and a cat of my own at home. I've lived with a dog my whole life. I have been described as a dog whisperer by many friends for my knack of gaining a dog's trust very quickly. My first cat came in 2016 and I soon after became a cat lover. I typically have late afternoon to evening availability during the week and am completely free during the weekends for pet care. I occasionally have early afternoon availability during the week as well. I am available for overnight sitting and boarding. If your home is outside of my direct service area I do adjust my rates to account for additional time and travel. I am completely comfortable accommodating any\all pet care requests within reason. Whether that be letting your pet out in the yard for exercise/bathroom breaks, letting dogs/cats in and out of crates/bedrooms to eat or roam around for awhile. I'm also happy to just keep your pet company for the time I am with it, from petting to playing fetch or tug-of-war or just peacefully co-existing.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 15 years old. I absolutely love dogs and I have sweet spot for Golden Retreivers since I have one of my own. I love being able to play with dogs and walk them during the day since I work from home. I treat any dog as if they are my own. I will always ensure they are well exercised, cuddled, fed, and most of all loved. I work from home each day so I have a very flexible schedule. I live in an apartment that my golden retreiver loves to play in and we take several walks around the neighborhood to ensure the dogs get the proper exercise that they need. I love to keep dogs active while they are staying at my apartment. From playing fetch, to walks, I always will ensure your dogs are happy and loved.

My husband and I both work from home so we have lots of time to dedicate to your pup! We live across the street from a large park and within walking distance from a beautiful walking trail to take your pup on daily walks. We have a very sweet black lab mix to keep your pup company. Every day we do three walks with lots of time for play at home in between. I’ll also make sure to take lots of pictures to keep you updated on your dog.

Braell came home so happy and tired from playing the whole day which is exactly what I was hoping for. 10/10, would book with Asia again!”

About: Hi, I'm Kristin. I'm a corporate burnout empty nester new to the Charleston area. For the past several years I took care of dogs in my home and eventually opened "Casa Chihuahua," an in home boarding experience dedicated to the needs of old and special needs dogs. I have a special fondness for small, old and wonky dogs and currently travel with two rescue chihuas of my own. I have experience with geriatric and special needs dogs and I am committed to finding a routine that works for each dog’s unique needs. Larger dogs or those who require a lot of exercise might be a better fit with a more active provider. What I can’t provide in long hikes and fetch sessions I make up for with stroller rides, short beach walks, drive thru treats and snuggles under an electric blanket. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. My daily routine already incorporates meals, walks, car rides and and cuddles for my crew so I am used to daily care. My two chihuahuas come with me where I go - I'm essentially looking for dogs who might like to ride along with us. I have access to a fenced yard, a stroller, a sling, a dog-friendly car, pee pads, playpens, gates etc. Having cared for special needs dogs of my own (including one blind, one lame and one brain damaged) I am unfazed by accidents. My two chihuahuas are friendly and accustomed to meeting new dogs but we can adapt to boundaries and comfort levels as appropriate.
About: I have been looking after other’s pets since I began watching my neighbors’ dogs at eight years old. I take seriously the responsibility of watching another’s furry best friend, and find joy in meeting and caring for animals of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. I work a 9 to 5 job with regular hours and am happy to help your pup with an early morning, mid day, or evening walk! I approach all pets with respect and follow the cues they give me about how much love and attention they want to give and receive. I try to make them as comfortable as possible while they are missing their human, and create a space where they can relax and have fun while they wait.
About: I would foster and adopt all the fur babies if I could! I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats of different ages since childhood. Friends, families, neighbors, and acquaintances have trusted me to care for their pets as if they were my own. I rescued my own cat from a shelter and moved across the country with her, then later was a foster fail for a 3 week old rescue puppy, he’s now a 60lb lab-Pitt mix and he and my cat are the best of friends I am currently working Friday-Monday downtown Charleston and have a flexible schedule Tuesday-Thursday when I am not teaching yoga classes in downtown Charleston. I have flexibility earlier on Monday mornings as well. I have 2 friendly dogs and cat (who thinks she is a dog) who get along very well with any dog I’ve introduced them to, a large fenced-in dog park in the neighborhood I live in, can crate dogs if needed as well
