Going on vacation? Dog boarders through Wag! are available to care for your pup whenever you’re not. Every dog boarder has passed an enhanced background check. Get updates and photos through the app from the pet boarder while you are away.
Courtney was great! My dog has separation anxiety & is usually freaking out when I get home after being gone all day. But this time, she was calm and happy. She clearly loved Courtney!

Taylor was such an amazing sitter! She gave me detailed updates every time she checked in on the pups. Will definitely hire her again if she is available :)

Keera was great with Archer and went at his pace! I got a ton of updates and Keera was super responsive and gave great updates! Keera was flexible when I was coming home sooner than expected.

Sheana came through when I was in a pinch. I needed someone to let the dogs out because I was stuck in traffic in the mountains. She responded last minute and had excellent communication. She’s the best!

It was our first time leaving Skittles with a sitter, and Daniel did a great job of assuaging our fears! He was super communicative and made sure we knew that Skittles was in good hands. Highly recommend!

Kelli was awesome boarding my two dogs. Not only did she give daily updates with videos and pictures she also worked with them on introducing them to her cat and getting used to her big dogs. Can't recommend enough!

Sara went above and beyond for us and our pet. Gave us some peace of mind while out of town and we couldn’t be more grateful. Def recommended!

Florence Rail Trail
The Florence Rail Trail is a great place to get your pup that much-needed exercise and outdoor time! As a part of the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, the trail was converted from an unused railroad corridor into a paved and well-maintained path for community use. The trailhead is located at the intersection of Old Ebenezer and South Ebenezer roads and continues for 2, tree-lined miles featuring sweet gums, honeysuckle, grape vines, and various bird species. The paved corridor provides plenty of room for bikers, runners, and dog walkers to share the space with ease. Bring your four-legged friend along for a little taste of nature, just be sure to watch for bikes!
