Here’s Why Dog Tired is Your Dog’s Staycation or Vacation Paradise

Whether you're jetting off for business or heading out on a much-needed vacation, leaving your dog behind can tug at your heart. But what if your pup had their own vacation while you're away?

At Dog Tired, we turn boarding into a tail-wagging staycation experience your dog will love—so you can travel worry-free, knowing they’re in great hands.

🌴 Why Locals Trust Dog Tired

We’re proud to serve the Lowcountry community with three convenient locations—on Johns Island, James Island, Summerville—designed for dogs to feel right at home. Whether you're headed out of town from Downtown Charleston, Mount Pleasant, James Island, or beyond, Dog Tired is just a short drive away.

Rated #1 Best in Charleston 2025, 2024, 2023

Charleston locals keep coming back because we combine professional, reliable care with personalized attention for every dog. Our experienced staff gets to know your pup’s routine, preferences, and play style, so their stay feels less like boarding—and more like a vacation of their own.

🐾 What Makes Us a Dog Staycation Paradise?

1. Play All Day, Snooze All Night
At Dog Tired, your dog won't be sitting in a kennel all day. Our doggie daycare is built into boarding, so your pup gets supervised, structured playtime every day with friends that match their size and energy level.

2. Splash Pads, Pools & Enrichment
Especially in Charleston's warm weather, pups love our water features and outdoor play areas. Plus, we offer enrichment add-ons like treat puzzles, bubble parties, and cuddle time for mental stimulation and extra TLC.

3. Cozy Overnight Accommodations
After a full day of fun, your dog will relax in a climate-controlled, clean, and comfy suite, complete with soft bedding. We even offer upgrades like one-on-one tuck-ins or bedtime treats to make the night feel special.

4. Staff On-Site 24/7
Emergencies don’t wait for business hours. That’s why our trained team is on-site around the clock to monitor dogs, respond to needs, and provide comfort if your pup gets anxious during the night.

5. Daily Updates While You’re Away
We know it’s hard to be apart. That’s why we send photo and video updates so you can see how much fun your dog is having. It’s peace of mind in your pocket.

✈️ Planning a Trip? Book Early!

Charleston’s travel season is year-round, which means boarding fills up fast, especially around holidays and school breaks. We recommend booking your dog’s stay as soon as your travel plans are confirmed.

Your Trip Should Be Stress-Free—for Both of You

Leaving your dog behind doesn’t have to be heartbreaking. At Dog Tired, we provide a safe, fun, and loving environment that gives your pup the attention they deserve while you’re away. So go ahead—plan that weekend getaway or dream vacation. While you’re relaxing, your dog will be too.

Want to schedule a Meet & Greet or tour our facility before your trip? We’d love to show you around.

Book your dog’s staycation today—because peace of mind is priceless.
