“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! 🐾💙”
“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 did a wonderful job with my elderly dog. Pepper can be a ton of work but Natasha exceeded my expectations. I felt very comfortable with Pepper being with Natasha. I can’t say thank you enough.”
“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! ❤️❤️”
About: I’ve had two English Bulldogs for over 15 years, which gave me firsthand experience with everything from puppy energy to senior care. Back home in Philly, I also babysat family friends’ dogs of all kinds — Golden Retrievers, Labs, Pitbulls, and more — so I’m comfortable with all sizes, temperaments, and activity levels. On top of dogs, I’m also the proud “uncle” to my brother and his fiancée’s two kittens, so I know my way around cats just as well. What sets me apart is my ability to adapt to each pet’s unique needs: Puppies: potty training, leash training, and safe play. Senior pets: slower walks, medication reminders, and gentle care. Bulldogs / special breeds: I understand breed-specific needs like breathing issues and joint sensitivity. Since I work fully remote, I have the flexibility to give pets plenty of attention, walks, and check-ins throughout the day. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets like family — because that’s exactly how I’ve treated mine for over 15 years. I work fully remote and have a very flexible daily routine, which gives me plenty of time to care for pets throughout the day. I take a full hour lunch break every afternoon, which is perfect for walks, drop-ins, or playtime. Since I’m home during the day, I can give lots of attention, snuggles, and regular potty breaks for pets in my care. Evenings and weekends are wide open for longer walks, overnight care, or boarding. Whether you need a midday drop-in, daily walks, or someone to keep your pets company overnight, I can adjust my schedule to fit your needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment where they’ll feel at ease. I’m mindful of keeping doors secured, removing hazards, and making sure pets have access to fresh water, safe play areas, and plenty of attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect I’d want for my own. I follow all instructions closely — from feeding schedules and walk routines to medication or special care needs. I send regular updates and photos so you feel connected and reassured while you’re away. With over 15 years of experience around dogs (including Bulldogs, Retrievers, Pitbulls, and Labs) and cats, I understand how to adapt to different temperaments and needs. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or requires a little extra patience, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for.
“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: I've spent the past several years walking and watching dogs for friends and family, from high-energy pups needing exercise to older dogs needing a gentler pace. I'm patient, attentive to each dog's individual personality and needs, and treat every walk like I would with my own pet — reliable, on time, and fully present. I'm home all day, which means I have the flexibility to build walks and playtime right into my daily routine rather than squeezing them into a rushed window. I love taking multiple walks throughout the day, so your dog gets consistent exercise, bathroom breaks, and attention rather than one long walk and hours alone. I live in a condo with a secure, screened balcony, so overnight guests have a calm, comfortable indoor environment plus safe outdoor access to relax and enjoy some fresh air. I don't have any pets of my own, so your dog gets my full, undivided attention throughout their stay — no other animals to share space or compete for attention with. I keep doors and balcony access secure at all times, stick closely to consistent potty breaks on leash throughout the day and before bed, and follow your feeding, routine, and any special instructions exactly as given.
“Kelly and her family were amazing with Nala! Will definitely utilize again. Nala couldn't wait to enter their home to spend the day with them after her first daycare day.”
About: Hi! I'm Rachel, a recent College of Charleston graduate with a B.A. in psychology. I have spent the last 16 years raising and caring for dogs. Animals have always been a significant part of my life, as my family dog even helped me take my first steps. I started dog sitting in my neighborhood when I was 10 years old and haven't stopped since. One neighbor invited me over every Tuesday to meet her new foster puppy of the week, which is how I adopted my first puppy, Rocky. During my senior year of high school, I got my second dog, Sadie, who has taught me as much as I have taught her. My experience extends beyond my pets, as friends and family come to me for help with training their new puppies and to take care of their pets while they are away. Whether you have a playful puppy or a sweet senior, I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages. If you're looking for a sitter who truly understands dogs and will love your pet as if they were my own, I’d love to help! I am currently looking for job opportunities so my schedule is wide open. Let me know what works best for you and your pet, and I will be happy to accommodate your needs. I live in a two-bedroom condo with my 9y/o dog Sadie, who loves having new friends around. I also have a neighborhood dog park just a short walk away, where I take her to run around and get her energy out. We also have lots of great walking paths and parks around us to explore. Whether your dog stays with me or I care for them in your home, I can follow your routines and will prioritize their safety and comfort above all else.
“Justice did an awesome job watching Hershey for the day! She let me know how she was doing throughout the day and kept me up to date on when she was giving her meds, going to a walk, etc. Justice is great and we would definitely use her again!”
“Amy was great! She took great care of our 8 month old, high energy, puppy Wesley. She kept us updated with photos throughout the day and took great care of him. We can’t wait for his next visit”
About: After 15 years of pet ownership, I’ve handled everything from high-energy puppyhood to the gentle requirements of senior care. I treat every pet I sit exactly like my own: as a cherished member of the family. You can head out on your trip knowing your pet is receiving 15 years' worth of experience, love, and one-on-one attention. I can't wait to meet your furry friend! With a background in hospitality and a career as a fitness and surf instructor, I offer a high-energy, reliable, and incredibly flexible schedule for your pet. My active lifestyle means I’m always up for long walks or playtime, ensuring your furry friend gets the exercise and attention they need. Whether it's a mid-day check-in or an afternoon adventure, my unique routine allows me to be there whenever you need a hand! I offer all services! Would love to host your pup at our place. We just have 1 small dog named Annie (she is sweet) 🐶
“Leaving a second review since Kelsey is so great. My pup would rather spend time at her place with her dogs than with me! I've used Kelsey half a dozen times and am happy with the experience.”
About: As a lifelong dog lover, I offer reliable and flexible dog sitting services in your home or mine. I'm trustworthy, compassionate and love dogs. I have owned Dachshunds for many years, as well as a big, lovable hound. And, seniors have a special place in my heart. I am experienced and flexible, with decades spent in the corporate world before dedicating myself to caring for pets. I am available for drop-in visits, walks, or daycare and overnight stays in my home. I live on Goat Island, which is only accessible by boat and has no cars. I pick-up at Isle of Palms marine on my skiff. My property includes a large yard and the island has a 3-mile sand road for walks. I always leash guests' pets and have one friendly Dachshund (Smalls). I'm happy to crate dogs if needed and prioritize keeping your dog's routine with walks, feeding, medication, playtime, and plenty of fun and snuggles.
About: I have a friendly, easy going labradoodle (not high energy) who would love to have a friend around. The yard is fenced in, I work from home, and we typically go on 3-4 walks a day. On a good weather day we’ll drive 5 minutes to IOP and have a beach walk. Your dog would get the exact same care I give mine. They can play all day inside and sleep where they want. Work from home Monday through Friday 9-5 but take plenty of breaks to go outside for walks or play fetch. At night I’m mostly chilling so hopefully your dog likes Netflix! I have a fenced in yard big enough for them to exhaust themselves if they want. If not, the daily walks should cover that. And I’m open to crating them at night or letting them sleep on the couch/bed if they’re comfortable.
“Rachel is amazing!! I trust her more than anyone else to watch my dog🤍 She absolutely loves animals and always treats my Cleo girl like her own. She’s very reliable, and communicative. I love that she always sends me pictures and updates me on Cleo’s activities! Also, my Cleo girl has a fear of thunder/lightening and Rachel always goes above and beyond to make sure Cleo feels safe/loved/comfortable in those moments. We are so grateful for Rachel!”
“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!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Isle of Palms
This was a first daycare experience for my girls and I had some concerns about how they would handle being away from "mama". Well, my worries disappeared when Richard sent photos of my Stella & Journee chillaxin' with their new 4 legged friends!, and everyone looked very happy. I will not hesitate to use (and recommend) Richard again! Thank you Richard, for easing my mind.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Isle of Palms on Rover is $33.3 per day (as of August 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 Isle of Palms 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 719 sitters in Isle of Palms, 86% 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.
