The May River Pet Resort Difference

We recognize that pets are more than just animals; they're part of the family. Choosing to place your cherished pet in our care is a responsibility we deeply honor. We promise to treat your pet with the same affection and attention we give to our own, ensuring they have a joyful experience while they're with us.


We're open to pets from every breed, dedicating time to understand each one's unique personality. However, it's important to note that we maintain a selective admission policy, as pets that struggle with socializing may not be suited for our environment. A friendly demeanor is essential. We make it a point to familiarize ourselves with every pet's individual needs and preferences. Our approach is particularly gentle with pets that may be shy, scared, or anxious, employing strategies to help them feel at ease.


Whether it's through engaging them in smaller playgroups or providing personalized attention during solo playtime with our staff, we cater to the diverse temperaments of our furry guests as long as they are comfortable with our staff.

We also value the relationships we build with our guests' owners.

Our team is committed to meticulous care and delivering outstanding service at every interaction.

Read What Our Customers Say About Us

Fabulous place! I've had my dogs there for day care a couple of times and about to board them there for the second time. I have one dog that has a habit of charging at dogs larger than him (it's a fear thing) and is very insecure. While at May River for day care, he made friends with dogs bigger than him and was very well behaved. Obviously the staff there made sure he felt safe and happy or that never would have happened. Every time the dogs stay there, they come home well adjusted and rested but happy to see their mom and dad. There has never been any issues with their behavior after staying there. You know you've chosen a good boarding kennel when your dogs are well behaved and rested (not fearful, clingy, or aggressive) when they come home.

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 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.

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!

Every boarder will have a comfortable Kuranda dog ded and a sherpa topper included with their stay. If your pet is "picky" or requires a special diet, please bring enough food portioned for their whole stay. We have refrigerators and microwaves, to accommodate most meals. Our staff can administer most medications, we do not administer insulin at this time. Please label everything you bring, with your pet's name and detailed instructions.
