We recently took our dogs to May River for 6 nights while we went on vacation. There is absolutely not one thing that we did not love about it. Anika at the front desk was extremely responsive to every single question I had and the building is extremely clean. Every single staff member there was going above and beyond to take care of each and every dog. I am a nervous person when it comes to my dogs but I can honestly say that I trust May River 100 percent. They also got a complimentary bath and were so clean and soft when we picked them up. I highly recommend May River they’re truly the next level of dog care.

May River is the BEST! My parents have taken our family dog here for daycare and boarding for 3 years and they always have peace of mind leaving Riggins here. I just started taking my bulldog puppy Edwin for regular daycare and he couldn't be happier! The facility is always clean, very quiet and calm environment, amazing staff who goes above and beyond for the care of each and every dog, and the owner Duke is wonderful! Couldn't be happier with this place and team, Edwin is always in good hands!

We have four dogs and we have tried every pet resort prior to having our sister watch our dogs in Hilton head and Bluffton. This is the only pet resort where our dogs came back in the same condition or better than when we dropped them off. I definitely recommend them and trust them completely. Thank you, May River pet resort!

It was my very nervous Bassett hounds 1st time at a groomers. They were so good with her and she was a very happy dog when I returned for her. She looks great!! Service is excellent and prices are fair for how hard I know they must work on our fur babies.

We have had nothing but great experiences at May River Pet Resort! They made boarding our beloved pup worry free. A clean facility with friendly staff who take care of your baby like their own. Duke was especially accommodating to meet our drop off, pick up, and long term boarding needs. We definitely recommend May River Pet Resort and we will surely be using their services again and again!

This place is fantastic. Our 2 dogs have stayed here multiple times and absolutely love it. Mike, Duke, and the whole team here go above and beyond to make sure your furry kids have a great experience. One of our dogs is a rescue that was abused so she struggles with some anxiety and hyperactivity. The other is older with a replaced hip and they are very accomodating and able to cater to both dogs individual needs. Look no further for a great place to board your dogs!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Have questions? Our FAQ section provides answers to common inquiries about our dog boarding services, policies, and more. We're here to ensure you have all the information you need to feel confident in choosing May River Pet Resort for your dog boarding needs in Bluffton, SC.

  • Is boarding good for your dog?

    When you choose to board your dog, your furry friend is entrusted to caring staff who ensure they get the love and attention they need. Our staff is trained to manage dogs effectively, addressing any issues that may arise with skill and care.

  • Is it better to leave dog at home or with boarding?

    Dog boarding can be a solution for easing separation anxiety in dogs. When left alone at home without their humans, dogs often experience significant stress. They may resort to destructive behaviors like chewing shoes or attempting to escape. However, at a dog boarding facility, dogs receive the attention they need to feel comfortable even in the absence of their owners.

  • Do dogs get homesick while boarding?

    Like humans, dogs can experience homesickness. Allowing them to bring small reminders of home with them to the resort can assist in easing their transition.
