Overview

If you’re planning to travel any time soon and you own pets in South Carolina, you may already be thinking about what to do with your pets while you’re gone. Some people may take their pets with them, while others might consider looking into boarding options. However, these often require a specific temperament, making them unsuitable choices for some pets. In-home sitters can be a great way to check on your home while you’re gone and also ensure that your pets get to stay where they’re most comfortable. Here are some Charleston sitters that you can use for your own needs.

Coastal Cat Care got its start in November 2018, with a special focus on the type of pets the owner loves the most — cats.

Plus, by focusing exclusively on cats, Coastal Cat Care is able to provide more comprehensive care for your furry friends, although they also provide some care for small animals.
