She closed off some booking dates due to having a baby on the way, but allowed George to stay with her again as he is a pet she has cared for prior. She gave him medication as needed, made sure he got his walks in, and gave him a comfortable stay (we also learned he fears owls lol). If we need boarding again we are happy to book with her again. Thank you again Jasmine and congrats on the (soon newborn) baby :)”

“Fran took good care of my cat and provided timely status updates to me. I was initially nervous when she mentioned a dog in the house at the same time which was not communicated previously, but it all worked out. In the future I recommend letting the pet owner know if there will be additional pets especially since this can be a safety issue. Overall, I was very satisfied with the service.”
“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!”

“Beth was great with our cat Gus!! Gus is usually a little shy but had no hesitations when he met Beth. She gave us thorough daily updates and pictures while we were out of town which made being away from Gus much easier. Gus also just started on new medication before we left and we knew he was in good hands with Beth monitoring him. We will definitely ask Beth to watch Gus again!!”

We would absolutely request Desiree again and 10/10 recommend for anyone else looking for a sitter.”

“Ren and Kelsey were fantastic, knowledgeable, and helpful. They were able to accommodate us and it has been a huge help leaving our pup Angelo with them during the day. This was my puppy's first time at doggy daycare and he loves it so much that he doesn't want to go home! My hyper puppy comes home really tired and we've seen some behavioral improvements too: he's more calm at home and now respects our senior dog's boundaries. Angelo used to be hyper-attached to me but now he's learned that there's more to life than following mom around! I highly recommend Ren and Kelsey and feel confident leaving Angelo in their care.”
“Alex is extremely flexible and communicative! My dog absolutely loves him and will get super excited when we are on the route to go to Alex. She is always tired after dog daycare until even the next day (which is saying something since she is a high energy dog). Alex is very thorough and will ask a lot of good questions to get to know your dog better. Highly recommend to all dog owners!”
“Natasha was great! She was quick to communicate, open and easy to work with. She was very responsible and help put an anxious pet parent at ease!! We received updates throughout the day. Highly recommend!”
“Abigail was a prompt and kind communicator and my dog had a great time playing with her friendly pup, Cheddar during her doggie daycare visit. I would highly recommend Abigail and will book with her again in the future!”
“Jenna did an amazing job taking care of my two doggos while we took an out of town day trip! I really wanted someone we can trust to ensure my 16 year old shitzu is calm and comfortable while we’re away … he’s developed separation anxiety on top of having dementia and is half blind and deaf now and can work himself up into a tizzy when we’re away from the house for more than an hour! I am so thankful that Chewy was well taken care of and it was such a relief not to worry about him! We will definitely work with Jenna again!!”

“Natasha kept our fur boy, Sully, for a day during a stifling heatwave. She gave him a morning walk before the outdoor temps became elevated then kept him indoors with potty breaks in her yard. All was well when we picked him up. Will consider using her services for future daycare. Thank you Natasha!”
“Gabriella watched my little fur baby while I took in the sites in downtown Charleston. She is very close to the sightseeing and it was very convenient. She took good care of him and I will definitely be booking her again when I go back.”
“If I could leave 1000 stars I would she was absolutely amazing. Sent me pictures updated me throughout the day. I’ve never felt more comfortable leaving my dog with somebody before and every time I come to Charleston, I will be booking with her overall the best experience I’ve had.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and a proud owner of two frenchies, so caring for pups is already part of my everyday life. I’ve spent years dog sitting for friends and family and have experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities — from energetic puppies to laid-back seniors. I’m comfortable following specific instructions for feeding, walking schedules, medications, and any special needs. Communication is important to me, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos to give you peace of mind. Your dog’s comfort and safety are my top priorities, and I genuinely enjoy building trust with both pets and their owners. I’d love the chance to care for your pup(s) and make their time away from you as stress-free (and fun!) as possible. Working remotely so I am always home and available! Happy to include your baby in my daily routine with my two boys. Weekdays I am always free! I live in walking distance to an amazing park and am happy to go for long walks, park trips, or some one-on-one time - whichever fits your pet’s vibe best.
“Amy did a great job walking Murphy. He is high energy and Amy was able to keep him focused on his walk around the neighborhood. I definitely would book with Amy again. Thanks!”
“Jennifer was excellent! She came through when I needed help with my dog on very short notice. She arrived promptly at the agreed upon time and stayed a little over to finish my dog's walk. She had read my pup's profile ahead of time and was fully prepared to handle her special needs, which I appreciated. My Remi returned from her walk happy and tired, which is exactly what she (and I) needed. I won't hesitate to use Jennifer again.”
“Morgan takes such great care of Bella. I’ve had various terrible experiences with Rover but I never have to worry when she is the one taking care of her. She has renewed my trust in someone taking care of my dog. Thank you Morgan for being so great!!”

Even though we were traveling across the country, we felt completely comfortable with him in their hands- they were super communicative with tons of pictures, videos and updates that made us smile. We weren’t sure if he was going to want to come back home! Huge thanks to Grace and Chase for your loving care- we are so grateful that our doggy has a second home with you!”

“My boy is almost 12 and I have never left him with a stranger. I was new to the process and didn't have any idea of what was going on and I wasn't very keen on the idea of having to leave him with a stranger. Fortunately, Kristin was very responsive and kind about the whole thing, which was very reassuring. I got picture updates daily and even videos. The neighborhood was very nice, her home was clean and organized, she had a fenced in yard, twin boys which I am sure my dog loved to be around, and the a sweet weiner dog. My dog has specific feeding and meds, which she accommodated. I didn't want him to be alone when I was gone and picking Kristin was perfect.”
“They were super flexible with drop off and sent pictures and updates while Simba was there! He had a blast and we will definitely be going back to Fallon and Richard. So glad we found a great sitter!”
“Lynn was an absolute gem! Our dog Daisy fell in love with her dog Atticus - he is a total sweetheart! She has a big fenced in back yard and was great with sending us photos and videos. I think Daisy was sad to leave when we picked her up after the weekend ;) We highly recommend Lynn.”
