GoDog®, in partnership with The Beach Company, has begun vertical construction in Summerville South Carolina. The new facility will offer a comprehensive pet hospitality concept with a range of pet service offerings, including dog boarding, daycare, bathing and a membership-based dog park with a social bar for pet owners.

Located near the vibrant Charleston suburb of Nexton, GoDog will emerge as the perfect solution to a growing demand for premier pet services. With a considerable population of working millennials who seek reliable pet care solutions, Nexton recognized a significant gap on its side of I-26. Bridging this gap will provide pet owners who live or work at Nexton, unparalleled services and opportunities for socialization, both for pets and pet parents.

“We are proud to announce GoDog’s entry into South Carolina and the Charleston market. Starting construction marks a significant milestone for the project. It reflects The Beach Company’s commitment to enhancing communities by creating engaging and vibrant places. Our partnership with GoDog will bring an exceptional pet care experience to Nexton,” stated John Reyna, Development Manager of The Beach Company. “GoDog’s reputation as a ‘Best in Class’ operator in the pet hospitality industry and their commitment to excellence resonates with our vision for enhancing the lifestyle offerings at Nexton.”

GoDog’s innovative approach to pet care, facilitating pet owners’ interaction with their beloved companions and fellow pet aficionados, corresponds with Nexton’s commitment to nurturing community bonds. The facility will serve as a convenient meeting place for friends from across the region. Pet parents can convene with their pets in tow through GoDog:SOCIAL, an expansive outdoor dog park and bar. This exclusive membership-based haven allows pet owners to unwind while their furry companions play.

Designed by MJM out of Nashville TN and built by Mashburn Construction out of Columbia SC, the development will ensure seamless drop-offs and pickups, enhancing residents’ quality of life. GoDog:PLAY and GoDog:STAY, daycare and boarding respectively,  offer daycare activities and diverse boarding room options that accommodate dogs of all sizes, and allow dogs from the same family to stay together. Pet parents can add on GoDog:BATHE services to ensure their pet comes home clean and happy. The project aims to open its doors in May of 2025.

“Providing residents with modern conveniences and thoughtful ways to connect with one another is one of Nexton’s top priorities, and we are excited that GoDog will provide a space where not only our residents can engage and socialize with one another, but their pets can do the same,” says Brent Gibadlo, senior vice president of development at Nexton.
