About: I have truly never spent a single day of my life without a dog in my home, giving me a lifetime of deep, firsthand canine experience. From raising energetic puppies to comforting gentle seniors, I understand the unique languages, quirks, and emotional needs of dogs. This lifelong devotion means proper pet care is second nature to me; I instinctively know how to read body language, maintain comforting routines, and provide the exact balance of structured play and relaxing downtime. Currently, I am the proud parent of a gentle Cavapoo and a sweet Golden Retriever. Managing our own multi-dog household means your pup will step into an environment that is already highly experienced, structured, and completely optimized for their safety, happiness, and comfort. With my husband working from home and myself as a stay-at-home mom, our family is always around to provide constant love and supervision. Our daily routine completely revolves around the dogs. Your pup will seamlessly join our two friendly dogs for a day filled with continuous companionship. Between regular potty breaks, cozy indoor cuddle time, and endless, safe playtime in our fully fenced backyard, your dog will never be lonely and will be treated just like one of our own. Your pup’s safety and your peace of mind are my absolute top priorities. Our home is never empty, ensuring your dog will enjoy constant, 24/7 supervision and companionship. Our secure, fully fenced backyard sits in a quiet, friendly neighborhood, offering a peaceful environment free from stressful traffic or noise. We maintain a calm, highly organized household specifically tailored to the comfort of our own Cavapoo and Golden Retriever. We treat every guest dog with the exact same vigilance and love as our own, strictly following your specific feeding schedules, routine preferences, and house rules so you can relax knowing they are in the safest possible hands.
About: I come from a family with a history of pets. My father was a veterinarian so we had dogs, cats, birds, lizards…and more. I also fostered dogs for 3-4 years when I first moved to Charleston. I work full-time from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will receive regular potty breaks, play sessions, enrichment activities, fresh water, and lots of affection. Whether your pup enjoys playing, exploring the yard, or simply relaxing with people nearby, I’ll make sure they have a fun, safe, and comfortable day. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run and play, along with a doggy pool for cooling off on warm days. My friendly and energetic dog, Todd, loves meeting new friends and makes a great playmate for dogs who enjoy socializing. For dogs who prefer their own space or need downtime, I have crates in multiple sizes available if requested. I’ll always follow your instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special routines so your pet feels as comfortable as possible while you’re away.
“Delia was so easy to work with. Very responsive, calm demeanour and communicative. She sent pictures through out the day and kept us updated. It was a great first time experience and I will definitely use her services again.”
About: Have always had a dog. Have fostered many puppies. My own dog was a shop dog and very well behaved. She is the perfect companion for any dog and would help them enjoy their stay. I am recently retired and have the time and energy to care for your dog along with my own. I am mostly home except for when I play tennis or go to the store. I live in a very dog friendly condo, pet stations, dog wash, etc... there is a green lawn area next to my building, as well as walking trails. Also live near Laurel Hill trails which is great place to walk dogs.
About: I have always had a deep love for dogs and truly enjoy spending time caring for them. Their happiness, comfort, and well-being are very important to me, and I treat every dog with patience, kindness, and attention. I understand that each dog has its own personality and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while away from their owners. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs through my own pets and by helping family and friends with theirs. My experience includes feeding, walking, exercising, administering basic care, maintaining routines, and providing plenty of affection and companionship. I am comfortable working with dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and I always prioritize their safety and well-being. As a dog boarding caregiver, I would provide a reliable, loving, and nurturing environment where dogs can feel at home. I understand how important it is for pet owners to trust the person caring for their furry family members, and I am committed to providing attentive care, regular exercise, and lots of positive interaction. My goal is to ensure every dog feels happy, secure, and well cared for throughout their stay. I’m currently working from home and I’m available to adjust to your dog’s needs and schedule. I’m available anytime or day as needed. I have a fenced backyard, a very safe community and easy place to walk your dog. We’re a family of four that loves dogs and I would make sure your dog feels like home.
“Morgan and Matthew were amazing! We received so many wonderful photos of Rory throughout her stay with them and I knew she was in amazing hands. We will definitely be booking again with Morgan and Matthew in the near future”

“Cannot say enough good things! Leigh Ann was so prompt with responding and helped me out with dog-sitting when I was in a bind. Her and her family are so sweet and took such great care of my fur baby- I know she had so much fun based on how pooped out she is now! Would 100% recommend and use again!”
About: From small puppies to large breeds or senior cats, I'm well equipped to take care of your fur baby! <3 I am a golden retriever owner who adores all dogs, I love to run/walk my dog & take her to fun places. Whether it's long cuddles on the couch to hikes on the marsh, I really take the time to cater to my pets needs & can assure your pup (or kitty) will be taken care of. I currently have a wide open schedule on the weekdays and weekends! My preferred time would be mornings/afternoons but I am open to working with your schedule/needs. I have a dog park in my neighborhood and lots of nice walking areas around me! My dog is fed twice a day (she is spoiled so I give her lots of supplements and fresh food), bathed weekly, teeth brushed bi-weekly and brushed at least once a week. I take her on a long walk or run on different trail around here once every day and can do the same for you pup!
“Megan was absolutely wonderful. She was extremely responsive and professional. She cared for Lucy so attentively and caring and sent photos, videos and updates throughout the day.”
“Here’s a polished review you can use: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Dog Sitter! I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received. From the very beginning, she was professional, reliable, and genuinely caring. My dog was comfortable, happy, and well cared for while we were at dinner, which gave me complete peace of mind. I appreciated the regular updates, photos, and communication throughout the stay. It was clear that my dog received plenty of attention and affection. I returned home to a relaxed and happy dog. I highly recommend Carla to anyone looking for trustworthy, loving care for their furry family member. I will definitely book with her again! 🐾💙”
About: Hello! My name is Khara and I work in the medical field but also have a love for animals. I have always had a passion for animals, but having pets of my own doesn’t quite fill that void! I would describe myself as punctual, reliable, and an optimistic person overall. I have over 15 years of animal sitting/watching/walking experience. Growing up I had one chocolate lab and I currently have one boxer/lab mix, as well as two cats. I have open availability. Let me know timing you need during the week and/or weekend. Just message me and I’ll ensure to make time for your pet :) I go on many walks alone, so I would be glad to take your fur baby with me! Hanging at home and playing inside is my favorite is well.
“We can’t say enough about how great Jennifer is! She continues to take the BEST care of River. River is so excited to go to her house, and she consistently comes home every time happy and tired! Jennifer is awesome and we are so grateful for the love, care, and attention she gives River!”
“Paul was incredible and we’ll be definitely using him again, the very next time we need a dog sitter needs in CHS. He was very accommodating, took my doodle on the best walks, and hosted him so well with treats! I can immediately tell if my dog feels comfortable and knew he did without question with Paul! Can’t thank him enough for the positive experience 🥰”
“Natasha kept our fur boy, Sully, for a day during a stifling heatwave. She gave him a morning walk before the outdoor temps became elevated then kept him indoors with potty breaks in her yard. All was well when we picked him up. Will consider using her services for future daycare. Thank you Natasha!”
“Rachel took great care of Snowy for the day. She was responsive and flexible when we arrived a bit early on both ends. Snowy loved playing with Bear and Panda, an added bonus!”
“Natalie was amazing with our Addi! She was able to host our dog on super late notice after our sitter cancelled (Natalie agreed to watch our dog one day beforehand!) Her dog was the sweetest ever and made such a good playmate for our dog. She was super accommodating and our Addi came home exhausted from the fun activities Natalie did with her! ❤️❤️”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Awendaw
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 663 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Awendaw. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Awendaw commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in SC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 663 sitters in Awendaw, 85% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
