“Fernanda was super sweet and attentive with Murphy. She was very good with communication before during and after his day care visit. Fernanda sent pictures during his stay and he was very relaxed and happy. I recommend her for your fur baby too.”
“Rich and Dee were so wonderful with our dog, Staley. I felt super comfortable leaving her with them for the day. Communication was excellent (before, during and after) and they were super accommodating even when I booked last minute. She was tired and happy when I picked her up from a day of fun. Would highly recommend, and we will definitely be using them to help care for our dog again!”
“Sammy had a great stay with Emily. She is gentle and caring and the dogs know it. He had a lot of fun and we will definitely come back when we are in the area. Thank you Emily!”
“Sweetest person of all time! Brianna watched our cavapoo for a couple days while we stayed at the HH National RV park. She lives very close by and was super flexible to accommodate any times I needed to extend or end early. She works from home, has a beautiful house and a sweet little dog of her own. We had one request which was not to ever leave our dog alone and Brianna was more than happy to accommodate. Will absolutely use her again when back in Beaufort, Bluffton or Hilton Head!”
About: Growing up, I was surrounded by animals. Horses, geese, ducks, cats, rabbits, and lots and lots of dogs. My parents rescued and fostered animals of all kinds, but mostly dogs, especially Great Danes. We’ve had every type of dog from a 3 pound Yorky to a deaf Jack Russel to a 187 pound GD, and everything in between. I’ve passed my love of animals on to my own children, who were raised to respect and cherish their pets from an early age. We’ve had birds, cats, and of course lots and lots of dogs! Pets make life so much better. I am retired from the medical field. My husband and I are active people and love exploring, being outside in nature, thrifting, biking, and high school sports. My day will be dedicated to the animals in my care, making them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while in my home. We have a fenced yard and live in a quiet part of our neighborhood. We have a few different sized crates and even a built-in ‘doggy apartment’ under the stairs!
“Madison did a wonderful job taking care of my two Shih Tzus while we spent the day touring the area. She was on time for pickup and delivery and sent pictures of them interacting with other day care pets. Thank you Madison!”

About: I have been a pet owner my whole life as well as an animal lover! I have volunteered at shelters as well as adopted 2 rescue dogs. I have really been around every breed and behavior. I’m available most weekends with open availability. My schedule is fairly flexible during the week and make it open if need be for your convenience. I have had a 70lb dog and currently have a 56lb dog. I’m good with harnesses and leashes for all size dogs!

About: With over 20 years of experience raising and caring for dogs—many from shelters—I provide a loving and engaging environment for pets. As a dedicated pet sitter, I offer dog walking, overnight stays, feeding, and plenty of playtime. Since I work from home, your pets will always have companionship and care, along with a fun atmosphere that includes other friendly dogs and a lovable cat. I am always home! I work remotely and have plenty of time to hangout with the pooches. My guy gets at least one walk a day (1-2 miles) and beach trips when we can. In my home, I provide a safe, playful, environment with a large fenced in back yard and a doggy door so they can come in and out as they please. Dogs get plenty of exercise, social interaction with other dogs, and a structured routine to help them feel comfortable. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s routine as closely as possible, providing feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I respect each pet’s unique personality and needs, whether it’s giving extra care to an anxious dog or ensuring a cat has a quiet and familiar environment. My goal is to make pets feel safe, happy, and loved, whether they’re in my home or theirs.
“Karen and Ray were very attentive to Nessie and sent several photos even during a quick daycare session. Nessie is rarely away from us and loves people as company. We appreciate how difficult it can be finding a sitter who is able to similarly be with her all the time. We have a trip coming up and feel much more at ease leaving our girl with Karen since they all got along so well.”
“Megan had a great time with my puppy - we had a meet and greet with her dog in advance, which helped him acclimate quickly. Megan is kind, caring, and attentive - I would rely on her again to sit for my doodle.”
“A wonderful home environment with great dog loving people. My dogs were well taken care of and came back happy. Great communication and just overall nice. I would definitely go back again.”
About: Before we had kids, we would dog sit up to four dogs at a time in our home. Now that our kids are old enough and understand how to care for and respect dogs we feel comfortable bringing kid friendly and potty trained dogs into our home. We’re all excited to love on your pup! Julie homeschools our children so they are home a majority of the day. If your pup is destructive or a chewer, please bring a crate for when they have to leave the house. We intend to love and care for your dog just as we love and care for Penny. We work together as a family to ensure your pets needs are met throughout the day and night.

Left our 2 poodle boys with Bird for a long day and she was great! Several pics of their stay and playtime with 2 doodle girls, which I know they loved! Bird knew exactly how to introduce them to each other, which I always look for. Will definitely reach out to Bird, again!!😘

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Bluffton on Rover is $19.98 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Bluffton 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 273 sitters in Bluffton, 91% 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.
