“Joe and Celeste were so wonderful at taking care of our dogs and made them feel right at home. They’ve got a nice house with a huge fenced in yard that my dogs loved. They sent regular updates and even did a meet and greet before our trip. I highly recommend using them if you’re in the Myrtle Beach area. We definitely plan on booking with them again.”

“Jennifer and Matthew kept our Lab and Golden doodle for 3 nights and I'll have to say I could not have been happier with their stay. Jennifer was great about answering any questions or texts right away and sent a picture of how they were doing. I will definitely be booking with them again!”

“Jaimi was timely and very professional in dealing with both Mac, my English Cocker Spaniel, and me while she boarded him in her home. I would highly recommend Jaimi if she is available to board your pet.”

“Melissa is amazing and took wonderful care of my dogs! One of my dogs has a heart condition and takes medication. Melissa was so attentive and made her very comfortable. She is flexible and accommodating with drop off and pick up times which was very helpful to me. My dogs were so happy at Melissa's house. She loved and cared for them like her own. I will definitely be booking with Melissa again!”

About: I am a home health aid for people and always naturally been great with animals. My mother inlaw owns a kennel so I've learned a lot from her about boarding the last 6 years. I have a dog of my own I love and have trained well to be around other animals,so far so good... considering his breed. I only work for 2-6 hrs a day housekeeping on and off and make my own schedule so im super available to make sure your baby is taken care of! I have a really flexible schedule. I will allow the pet to have a safe space to feel comfortable and cared for, fed properly, nurtured and loved! Also they will have full room to roam in my house unless owner brings crate and would like it used.
“Holly, did an amazing job taking care of my pup. She's very responsive and was extremely loving to my Goldendoddle. Holly, text me multiple times a day with pictures and videos of my pup. The overall experience was great. I highly recommend Holly.”

“So happy Debra was able to watch my boy over Veterans Day weekend! She and her sister both took care of him and I never had to worry because they sent me so many updates! That’s one thing I looks for in a sitter and they were so good about sending me at least one update every day whether it be a picture or a video or just a quick blurb about how he was doing. Love that they have a fenced-in yard too! Really awesome experience!”

“Joan was absolutely amazing! She waited up for us late at night for drop off and was so welcoming and kind. Gunner had so much fun with her and she was the perfect care taker for him! He looked so happy in EVERY picture that she sent. If I ever need a place for Gunner in Myrtle Beach again, I will definitely be reaching out to her.”

About: I have over 30 years experience taking care of dogs and will provide the love and care they need in their new "home away from home". I have a whole house generator so in case of storms, there will be no interruption in service. I am a very active individual and typically walk at least 3-5 miles per day with my little toy fox terrier. I am a nature lover and frequent the area's hiking trails and love to get out on the beach. I prepare my dog's meals using all natural ingredients (whole foods) and make a very healthy bone broth and organic barley. With parental permission I can use this as topper for your dog's kibble. I am a retired school teacher and am available year round. I am basically home all the time when I am not out on the nature trails. I would prefer sitting for dogs that weigh 30 pounds or less. Your fur baby will receive the love and attention it deserves from Caring Karen. I am a retired school teacher and when I am not out on the nature trails walking dogs, I am at home cooking or gardening. Your dog will receive lots of love and attention from Caring Karen. I have a fenced-in side yard and a gated back deck. My house is set back on a wooded lot with lots of shade. I live in a very quiet and safe neighborhood on a private road that is a dead-end. I know most of my neighbors and this is my forever home.
About: I love animals and would love to help you out for any needs you need. I am at home all the time. Fenced in back yard. I work from home and have all the time to give outing outside and love while they stay in my home. I also have a teenager that would love it. I have a fenced in back yard and no animals at this time. So if you don’t want them around other animals I can do this too.
“She was AWESOME! My baby Bubba has a new auntie. I didn't worry at all while on vacation because Katherine made him so comfortable and now he has a friend in Bailey for life! I would leave Bubba with her every time...”

About: I’ve cared for dogs with different needs and personalities, always providing patient, loving, and dependable care to ensure they feel safe, happy, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. I’m available on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and weekends, with a flexible schedule to meet your pet’s needs. I do work part-time, so I’m unavailable on Mondays, Wednesdays, and during the day on Fridays. That said, I’m committed to being reliable, communicative, and consistent during my available times. Pets in my home are treated like family and cared for in a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I have a fenced-in backyard for secure outdoor time and plenty of space for play and exercise. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, and any special instructions. I also have crates available if needed for rest, training, or to match your pet’s normal routine.
“We were so fortunate that Amanda was available last minute for us. We traveled from Virginia to NC to visit family with our Australian shepherd mix, Josie. We had intended to take Josie on all our outings with us. It was just way too hot to keep her out all day, so we got on Rover (we have used it at home numerous times) and were lucky enough to find Amanda. Josie enjoyed playing with her children and the family pets as well. We know she was much happier there that being out in the heat all day. Amanda responded quickly to our request and took great care of Josie. We would definitely use her again.”


“This is probably the 5th time Lisa has watched my dog Harley. As always she has been amazing. She takes great care of him and shows him tons of attention. I am updated several times a day, everyday with messages and pictures. I highly recommend her..”

“Cheryl was great with Buffy! Made her comfortable, made sure she introduced Buffy to her Dogs slowly so they would get along. She has plenty of space inside and outside for dogs to play.
