About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life—dogs, cats, rabbits, you name it! Growing up, my home was always full of furry friends, and that love has never faded. Now, my Goldendoodle and I make the perfect team, welcoming pups with plenty of playtime, belly rubs, and love. Your dog will feel right at home with us! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine! I work from home, so your pup will have plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. I love getting my 15,000 steps in, so long walks and outdoor playtime are a must! With a spacious 0.5-acre yard perfect for games of fetch, your dog will have plenty of room to run, play, and explore. Whether it’s exercise, cuddles, or just hanging out, your pup will be treated like family! I work from home, I’m always around to give them attention and care. We have a spacious, 0.5-acre yard, perfect for safe play and exercise. We keep our home clean and organized—no toys or food left out, ensuring a safe space for every pet. Your dog will feel right at home, loved, and well cared for!
About: Hello! My name is Khara and I work in the medical field but also have a love for animals. I have always had a passion for animals, but having pets of my own doesn’t quite fill that void! I would describe myself as punctual, reliable, and an optimistic person overall. I have over 15 years of animal sitting/watching/walking experience. Growing up I had one chocolate lab and I currently have one boxer/lab mix, as well as two cats. I have open availability. Let me know timing you need during the week and/or weekend. Just message me and I’ll ensure to make time for your pet :) I go on many walks alone, so I would be glad to take your fur baby with me! Hanging at home and playing inside is my favorite is well.
“Megan was absolutely wonderful. She was extremely responsive and professional. She cared for Lucy so attentively and caring and sent photos, videos and updates throughout the day.”
“Andrea cared for my dog Coco as if she was her own. I was especially appreciative of the numerous photos and videos she provided of Coco during her stay as it put my mind at ease seeing how much fun she was having. THANK YOU!”
About: Hi! My name is Lauren and I am a stay at home mom. I would be able to be here all day, everyday to care for and play with your beloved fur baby. I have a dog and cat of my own, they are both very friendly and love making new friends. I have a 4 year old daughter who is amazing with animals, so your baby/ babies would need to be okay with children. I have a fenced in back yard, and plenty of treats! I also have a large crate (I dont use it but its here if you have a crate trained fur baby that you would like me to keep that consistency with.) I would absolutely love to host your 4 legged family member and give you some peace of mind. I am a stay at home mom so I will be able to be here all day to love on and care for your furry family member. I have a dog named Jax who absolutely loves making new friends and playing and i also have a very relaxed cat who is also very friendly, chunky and 7 years old. We have a nice sized house with a fenced in backyard so there is plenty of room!
About: I have owned dogs & a cat for all my life! I have experience with all sizes, breeds, and attitudes. I have personally owned a gray cat, Yorkie, Rottweiler, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and a chocolate Lab. I have experience with all ages as well from puppies/kittens to elderly animals. I am currently in graduate school for my Master’s and do it online so I am home almost all day. Your pet will definitely get the one-on-one time they want and need. I love having an animal to keep me company! I live in an apartment but my complex has plenty of space to do walks and a fenced in yard for any dogs who want to run around. Personally, I also don’t mind animals who like to lay on the couch or chairs or similar furniture.
About: My house is located in Park Circle in North Charleston and has a fenced in backyard great for playing. I enjoy taking Dez on walks and runs and would love to do the same with your fury friend. I also live by a few parks to take your dog out to play! I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I currently work from home part time and have a flexible schedule to accommodate a drop in service- refresh the water bowl, short walk for business or available for full 30 minute walk. Boarding available with notice required. I am known to adapt to the lifestyle my clients give their furry friends. Whether you want your dog taking on long walks or runs at the park playing fetch. At home I ensure pups get plenty of exercise and go out after breakfast and dinner.
“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!”
“Molly gives Buck a safe and fun place to stay while I am working. He loves Leonard, her dog, and I am grateful to Molly for taking such great care of Buck. Every evening when I pick him up, he’s so tired from playing all day. Molly is a gem.”
“Thank you, Josh! Our pup was well taken care of, and Josh did an excellent job sending updates and pictures throughout the day. We really appreciated the great care and communication! 😊”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 718 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Smith. 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 Smith 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.
As of October 2026, there are 718 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of SC. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
