Planning a vacation, work trip, or weekend getaway from Charleston?

While you're soaking up the sun or boarding a flight, don't let the guilt of leaving your pup behind cast a shadow on your plans. At Dog Tired, we turn boarding into a staycation your dog will love—complete with friends, fun, and five-star care. 🐾🌴

Here’s why Charleston locals trust Dog Tired for boarding, and why your dog might have just as much fun as you do (maybe even more!).

🏖️ 1. It’s Not Just Boarding—It’s a Vacation for Your Dog

We don’t believe in lonely kennels or minimal playtime. At Dog Tired, your pup gets a full-day experience packed with enrichment activities, playgroups, personalized attention, and plenty of snuggles.

Our philosophy? Every dog deserves a vacation too.

🐾 2. Cage-Free, Home-Like Comfort

Our suites are cozy, clean, and designed to feel like home—because we know boarding can be a big change. We offer both standard and luxury accommodations, with plush bedding and soothing surroundings to help your pup feel safe, relaxed, and pampered.

🐶 3. All-Day Play Included

Unlike many boarding facilities that charge extra for playtime, Dog Tired includes supervised daycare with every overnight stay. That means your pup will spend their days romping in our indoor/outdoor play areas with their new best friends and our trained, dog-loving staff.

🛁 4. Add-On Spa Services = Post-Vacation Glow-Up

Want to come home to a freshly groomed pup? Add a spa bath, nail trim, or even a deshedding treatment to your dog's stay. You get a clean dog, they get a relaxing end to their mini-vacation.

🧳 5. Convenient for Your Departure Schedule

Early flight? Weekend road trip? We’ve got you covered. With locations in Charleston and Johns Island, and flexible drop-off/pick-up hours, it’s easy to coordinate your pup’s stay with your travel plans.

🐕 6. We Keep You Connected

Worried about being away? Don’t be. We provide daily updates and photos so you can see your dog’s happy face enjoying their staycation. Our team is always just a call or message away if you need reassurance.
