“Leayn was absolutely amazing! I needed a last-minute sitter for my old, deaf dog while I was in a meeting. He fit right in, and loved his time with her and the other dogs she was sitting. Thanks Leayn!”
“Piper loves her stays ❤️❤️ I really appreciate the great communication and all the picture updates. I’m usually very cautious about sending Piper to other people’s home, but Brydget and Chad put my mind completely at ease. I never have any worries when Piper is with them, and I fully trust their care. Plus they get all of Piper’s photogenic angles 😉”
“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.”

“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.”
“Sarah took great care of my two Aussies. They came home super tired. If we weren’t moving away I would definitely use her again. Very friendly and quickly responds to messages.”
“Frank took wonderful care of our anxious (but sweet) Bernedoodle puppy, Mia. Mia absolutely loved him and it was huge peace of mind to know she was in good hands. Frank was kind, professional, and communicative. We would absolutely have him take care of our dog again in the future and would highly recommend him to anyone!”
“Helia treats our baby like family and we joke she has a boyfriend with Kratos (the best play mate!). Helia will send the best photos and videos and it’s so nice to see my baby happy. We won’t go anywhere else”
“Austin has been watching my 7month 5lb maltipoo for a few months and has been nothing less than AMAZING ok! an I don’t trust NOBODY with my son. Austin dog sits dogs NOT just one but multiple at a time sometime an he’s always making sure that all the dogs get along however today when I dropped him off I notice he had a larger black dog and my maltipoo was pulling to get back in my car which is strange cause he never does that. I didn’t think nothing of it but upon picking him up Austin inform me that he had to contact the big dog owners( Micah Y in the reviews) to come pick him up, for multiple reasons but the main one was because his big ass nipped at my dog . I was pissed! So before judging off of one bad review that made absolutely no since an doesn’t represent the type of sitter Austin is please take it from me he is amazing an you should definitely book him he’s very reliable an keeps me informed throughout the day to ease my mind. He even keeps him over night if I get on the road 5 stars all around the board . So Micah Y get your dog under control or take him with u when you go out of town because apparently he can’t live with out u an also your bit not just my dog but Austin also.”
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.
“Ashley was so Professional and very loving and caring for dogs. The dogs loved her and didnot want to leave. Thanks so much. I would recommend Ashley anytime. She knows how to get the dogs to warm up to the environment. I am impressed . Thanks Ashley. U are the best ♥️♥️”
“Our Chocolate Lab spent the day with Marston and his 2 pups while we explored Savanna. This is my first experience using Rover and it is intimidating to leave our sweet Charlie with someone we do not know. I read his reviews and was confident I was making the right decision. Once we met him and his dogs I knew Charlie was in good hands. Charlie ran right in to party. He sent pictures of their adventures. Charlie came home exhausted. I highly recommend Marston.”
“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!”

About: I have always had a pet in my life, and I love animals! I haven't met a dog or cat that I haven't hit it off with, and I would love the opportunity to get to know your fur baby :) My dog is definitely quirky and a bit of scaredy cat, so I know what it's like to be worried to leave your dog with someone! I have a lot of patience from my experience as a teacher, and I will make sure your fur baby feels at home! People tell me I have a calming presence, and so far it has helped with initial pet anxiety! I want to make sure you have peace of mind when you're away and that your baby has a great day :) Thank you for considering me! I am a dog mom to a chill border collie and a sassy cocker spaniel. By day, I am a romantic comedy author and a graphic designer, so my schedule is flexible and I’d love to spend some time with your fur baby/babies 🐶 My cocker spaniel would appreciate it too. lol. I want to work with you to make sure your pet is given the best possible care! I work from home so I am happy to come to you or share my home with your fur baby :) I will do everything possible so that your pet is comfortable and feels safe in their environment. Let me know what your baby enjoys and what makes them feel most at home! My dog is a bit of a scaredy cat, so I know how hard it can be with strangers and I have a lot of patience from my experience as a teacher. I love spending time with animals and haven't found a dog or cat that I haven't hit it off with yet!
“We reached out to Maria for a last-minute request and she was not only able to accommodate, but was very flexible with us. Sika had an awesome time lounging around with Maria and her family; I thought we may have a hard time getting her to come home with us! 🤣 We will definitely be reaching out to Maria in the future for any of our sitting needs for Sika in this area!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 240 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Ridgeland. 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 Ridgeland 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 240 sitters in Ridgeland, 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.
