Sitters and walkers
Need a sitter or walker at your hotel or rental? We list care businesses, not private sitters. Apps like Rover connect you with independent sitters and walkers who set their own rates.
Paid placements are always labeled Sponsored, and no one can pay to be listed as dog friendly.
Questions people ask
Which stores let my dog come in?
PetSmart, Petco and Lowe's welcome leashed, well-behaved dogs under their company policies. Store staff can still ask a disruptive dog to leave.
Is there dog daycare or boarding in Charleston?
Yes: Dog Tired Pet Services, Playful Pack, My Three Dogs and Camp Bow Wow. Most need vaccine records and a first visit or assessment before boarding.
