“Chayse was so great with our pup. The yard is clean and large and such a great place for him to run around and play. He came home super happy and we would happily have Chayse watch our boy again!”
“Birdie had a blast on her first daycare stay with Christen and her pups. Christen was very communicative as always and super thankful for the pickup-drop off option!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have a 13 year old and 1 year old dog in my home. I’ve raised dogs from puppies to seniors who have crossed over the rainbow bridge. I have experience fostering with A Home 4 Spot. My young dog is a recent foster fail… went to foster and fell in love immediately. I work from home and walk my own dogs regularly, and I am happy to take care of your dogs alongside mine. I take them on 3-5 potty breaks outside per day and 2 of those are walks, sometimes we take really long walks or visit the dog park depending on their energy level. I always make sure to give them cuddles and affection throughout the day while I’m working. Mine play well together and with other dogs, but know when to back off and give other dogs space. I live in a townhome community that is very dog friendly. There are several parks nearby that we walk to and lots of grass to go outside for several potty breaks throughout the day.
About: Truly a dog and pet lover, I lost my dog a year ago, and he was with me 24-7. I'm experienced with pets that are older or have an illness. I can hike with your dog or take him/her on long walks. Totally reliable :) I work remotely, so I have a flexible schedule and time to care for pets. I am always available and happy to send photos of your pet :) The pet's safety and happiness are of utmost importance! I'm truly doing this because I love dogs and cats. My last dog Helios had epilepsy, he stayed with me 24/7. Helios was able to alert me when he was about to have a seizure so I could medicate him. I have extensive experience with both dogs and cats (and I've rescued animals).
“Our German Shepherd Max had a great stay with Chelsea and her family. We booked our first stay here at the last minute and he stayed all day. He was happy and fed and really enjoyed his visit!”
About: As a lifelong animal lover and avid hiker, I’d love to spend time with your pups! Studying animal behavior in college, I later went on to work in a professional dog kennel and am now looking for opportunities to utilize this experience in my community. I recently moved onto 1-acre in Heber City. I’m looking forward to meeting the community and helping my neighbors with pet care while they work or travel. I never have more than 1-2 guest dogs in my home to ensure they get the attention and "home away from home" experience they deserve! Willing to provide pick up and drop services in Park City and surrounding areas. Looking forward to hearing from you! My work is primarily remote, with occasional short days in the office. My schedule varies week to week, but is very flexible and can be accommodated to meet the needs of your pet if booked in advance. Daily routine will include walks on the hiking trail immediately outside my back door and visits to our neighborhood lake for a swim! Happy to provide any training and daily routines to keep your dog happy, safe and comfortable. I live amongst miles and miles of hiking trails. Happy to adventure with your pups on or off leash. We also love to go for a swim on hot days! Dogs have freedom to roam the house and sit on the furniture, yet multiple dog beds are available for their comfort. Toys are always available but can be put away if there are any issues with resource guarding. Dogs will have access to a dog door that leads to an outdoor fenced yard when not out adventuring. I limit the number of dog visitors to two at a time, in addition to my own three playful pups.
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sadie had such a wonderful day with Jessica! From the moment we dropped her off, I could tell she was in great hands. Jessica was kind, attentive, and kept me updated with messages and photos throughout the day — which I really appreciated. Sadie came home happy, tired, and clearly well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience — we’ll definitely be booking with Jessica again! 🐾💛”
“Vanessa was very good at communicating quickly and she shared several pictures during my puppy’s stay. When I picked him up, he was happy and well rested! I look forward to more care with Vanessa.”
“Sadie had a wonderful day with Adelaine and her pups. She came home happy, tired, and totally content. 🐾💛 I really appreciated the thoughtful updates throughout the day and Adelaine’s kind, caring nature.”
About: I have grown up with big and small dogs and have always loved them. I make sure to be very attentive to any dog I am with, bringing them on lots of walks, and hanging with them. I am an online student with a flexible schedule. This allows me to be very attentive to your dog, lots of walks, lots of hanging nearby. I take great care of pets. I make sure they get the exercise they need, and the time spent just hanging out close by. I think most dogs love to be around people as much as they can, and I make that happen!
“Leilani was amazing! We booked her during our visit to Orem and appreciate that even on a short notice she was able to take Princess in. I received photos of her throughout the day and as to the care, I can tell Princess had a blast. Princess came back very happy and with so much energy! I would 100% recommend her whether you are visiting and need of someone to watch your fur baby or if you live near the Provo / Orem area.”
“Kirsten is wonderful and interactive! My two pups get along great with her pup Roxy and they enjoy playing in the expansive yard. I love picking them up knowing they had fun and were well taken care of during their stay.”
“Took us last minute, sent photos, and my dog came home so exhausted. My dog LOVED his stay here. He was so so happy when he came home. We will for sure be back.”
“Blue had another fun day with friends. He got a spot bath when we got home and has been laying on his mat with a chew treat so calm and relaxed since, which is so appreciated for us older puppy parents. Blue absolutely loves coming over and I love that he has a fun place he can go to get his puppy energy out. It’s obvious by all the cute pics that he loves your puppers Noir and Moo.”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Charleston
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,339 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Charleston. 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 Charleston 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 UT 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 1,339 sitters in Charleston, 87% 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.
