“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!”
About: Hello! My name is Jenna and I am 27 years old. I work part time while taking care of our own pup, a mini Aussie named Everest! I have always had dogs and believe they are one of the greatest gifts! I love taking care of animals and giving them all the attention and love they deserve. I have experience with small dogs like schnauzers and westies and large dogs like golden retrievers and Alaskan malamutes! No matter the kind, I am ready for cuddles and play time. I would love to meet your furry friend! I work part time so I am almost always available to take care of your pup! I can do potty breaks frequently throughout the day as well as several hours of play time, walks, and cuddles. My pets are family, and I would treat yours as such too. I let dogs on our furniture and really give them lots of love. I also have a fenced in yard perfect for getting out some energy!
“We are very grateful for Emily. She provided daycare for our dog last minute. Emily was really nice and easy to communicate with. She also sent pictures of our dog who appeared healthy and happy in all of them. When we picked up our dog, she was her normal self and was clearly well cared for!”
“I traveled down from Maryland last minute for an unfortunate loss in my family. Everything happened so quickly that I didn't gave time to make arrangements for Bear, my 6 month old Cavapoo who had literally just gotten neutered a few days prior. After my 9 hour drive I prayed and hopped on Rover. God led me to Ashley and I have no regrets. Her home was beautiful and fulled with pictures of her sweet young family. She was so kind and Bear settled in immediately. I will definitely use her services again!!!!”
“Maeve had a wonderful time with William, & the Ruby's. Walks, running in the backyard and naps made it a perfect day for her. She's looking forward to her next visit which will be a 3 day sleepover.”
“Our pup Finn enjoyed his stay with Karen. She quickly figured out the things he likes and made home comfortable. We got pics several times and could tell he was having a fun day. Karen even figured out that Finn knows to eat in the kitchen and that he does not like to eat alone so she stayed in the kitchen while he ate! Definitely will use Karen again when we return to Hilton Head!”
“Genia was awesome with our high energy dog, Fiver. She took her to the beach and on walks and sent me photos. Best of all, Genia was super flexible with time during our busy, unpredictable moving day. Fiver can't wait to go back and play with Genia's dogs!”
“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.”
“Ashley was so sweet to my Winnie! We couldn’t ask for better - so very thankful for her doting on her and sending numerous pictures and updates. Thank you, Ashley! We would recommend her to anyone!!!”
About: I can't remember a time in my life when there wasn't a dog in the house -- I've been an avid animal lover my entire life. I've worked at a boarding facility for about two years, where I became very comfortable caring for and loving up on our client's fur babies. I also became very comfortable administering medications, following specific feeding instructions, cleaning wastes, reading body language and behaviors, as well as knowing how to deter confrontation between pets if there are multiple in a home. I’ve worked at a Doggy Play Center where it has helped me gain a lot of behavioral knowledge when it comes to reading and understanding dog's body language as well as conditioned me to always be on the move and actively engaging with the pups. I've also spent time working for a Pet Care company, so I have experience in and am extremely comfortable doing dog walks for dogs of all sizes and overnight stays with pets of all kinds -- dogs, cats, birds, fish, etc. I believe the knowledge I've gained from hands-on experiences in past jobs, as well as the passion I've always had for animals, will leave your mind at ease that your fur babies will be very loved and well taken care of! Thank you for your time, I hope to hear from you soon! I'm currently a stay at home mom, so I’m basically available full time! I have plenty of time and love to give to your fur baby / babies, and I would love the extra company throughout the day as well. I’ve just moved into a house with a backyard that has plenty of room to run around and play in! I'm a fairly active person, so I'd be more than happy to take your pup on long walks every morning. I’d even be happy to run them if they’re extra high energy! Pets have full range throughout the home. I have a 2 year old Golden Retriever as well. She is unbelievably playful, but also knows how to relax around other dogs. We haven't come across one person or animal that we didn't want to be friends with. She is the definition of “knows no stranger”.

I’m available 24/7 to give the best attention to any animal. During the week I can provide care 3-4 times a day (drop ins) or more depending on the distance. I also offer boarding in my home if you’d like your loved one to have more company and love suitable for them.! I do not have a fenced in backyard, but I do walk my own pup 3-4 times a day not including additional potty breaks. I also bring my pup and others to the dog park up the street for some extra outdoor fun.!

“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.”
About: I’ve personally loved and cared for numerous fur and scaly children throughout the vast majority of my life, whether it’s reptiles, dogs, or cats, I have owned and loved each and every one of them. I currently have 2 dogs, a highly energetic and jumpy Black Labrador Retriever Mix (Rutt Butt), and an equally energetic, but 26x more friendly and goofy Pittie Mix (Roofie Doofie). I also have two cats, one loves people and dogs, and the other just loves me and the dogs (terrified of new people). I also have a male Bearded Dragon named Groot, and a baby Sulcatta Tortoise named Oogway! That is the list of who I currently love and live with. I have been working with my Lab and Pittie mix with behavior training since the since the Rutt was a puppy and since I adopted Rufus in early 2025. I’ve consistently kept them structured with simple high energy break commands, long wait, increased food/treat drive, and all-around confidence and morale boost to any low self-esteem. I am currently working on Rover part time, so I will be devoting my days off from work to your pet(s) and their needs. I am wanting to grow this into my own personal side-business as there is nothing that I consider better, than a well-trained pet under high stress environments. I have 2 overly and aggressively friendly dogs. Rutt and Rufus are some of the biggest sweethearts when it comes to meeting new people as well as new furry friends. Rutt has lived with cats his entire life, and Rufus took a bit, but he is finally completely indifferent to life with cats and loves to play with everyone! All owners and their dogs during boardings, or play dates, have to plan for atleast a 30min to an hour meet and greet and orientation so that both yours and my needs are met during visits. I am always in control during the situations, such as I am ever-vigilant of slight non verbal cues and projections yours and my pets put off in order to blossom a happy and stimulating and playful environment. I currently have a house in the Burton area with a beautiful and quaint neighborhood loop well away from all major highways and roadways. I also have about 20-30 acres that are heavily wooded with some managed trails throughout behind my house that I will be more than happy to explore with your pets taking them through for enrichment and training. I will also be in total touch with you as an owner, and me as a sitter. I know that I would love to have pictures and videos of my pet’s life throughout their day with someone new, and I would be more than willing to send you pictures and videos through Snapchat, text, or however you prefer. I encourage the youth and playfulness of each pet and I hope they can achieve their potential. Pet care is my daily and weekly routine. I have two dogs, two cats, a bearded dragon, and a sulcatta tortoise. Each of my wonderful animals have different daily needs and requirements that I strive to meet so they can be the happiest animals and meet their full potential. I have 0.5acres of open backyard that is pushed up to about 20 acres of woodlands directly behind my house. I take my own animals on daily enrichment walks through the forest to aide them in their confidence and better their motor skills.
About: My entire life, I have owned a dog and two cats. Those years have made me the animal lover that I am today! I take care of my animals and friends animals all of the time! When I go over I love them and take care of them as if they were mine. I try to stay with them as long as I can, since I know they are upset when you are gone. When I am with them they will never feel alone. My walks are long to give your dog as much time outside as possible. I will follow any requests that you make to the T. I am fun loving and very interactive! I will be the best sitter you will ever have!
“He was AMAZING with Bailey!!! I got pics showing me Bailey was ok during the day, and he had a nice fenced backyard. He even had a designated dog room with beds. If I could give him more stars, I would!”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Saint Helena Island
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 89 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Saint Helena Island. 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 Saint Helena Island 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 89 sitters in Saint Helena Island, 93% 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.
