“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! 🐾💙”
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.
“Michael was so wonderful. He promptly responded to my request for a dogsitter, and he showed such genuine care throughout all of our interactions. Not only was he open to my dog boarding at his home, but he was also welcoming and gentle to my dog child as he adapted to him, his cute puppies, and his home. He cooked dog treats, went on regular walks, gave my dog steady potty breaks, and shared great pictures with me. I really felt that C.Lo was in the safest of hands, and that was much needed. I appreciate Michael and his quality service.”
“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!”
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.
“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! ❤️❤️”
“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.”
“Archie is a shy fella but Natasha took him for a walk and sent us pictures. He was laying on her couch when we arrived to pick him up. She took very good care of him.”
About: Hi! I am a dependable, trustworthy animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I grew up on a farm where I helped care for 7 dogs, 2 cats, goats, and chickens, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I also have my own English Setter, Maggie, whom I’ve raised since she was 8 weeks old. She’s now a year and a half old, so I’m very comfortable with high-energy dogs and understand how important it is to keep pets on their normal routine. Whether you’re looking for boarding or doggy day care, I’ll treat your pet like one of my own. I’ll make sure they get plenty of love, attention, exercise, and I’ll send photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. For boarding/daycare, I have a fenced backyard, and Maggie is very friendly and loves meeting other dogs. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member! I work from home on the weekdays I’m available, so your pet will get plenty of potty breaks, playtime, attention, and care throughout the day. I have a flexible schedule and can easily accommodate their routine. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I’ll follow their routine and any specific instructions to make them feel safe and comfortable. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, administering oral medications if needed, and providing lots of love and attention. I also send regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

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) 🐶
“Jenna did an amazing job taking care of my two doggos while we took an out of town day trip! I really wanted someone we can trust to ensure my 16 year old shitzu is calm and comfortable while we’re away … he’s developed separation anxiety on top of having dementia and is half blind and deaf now and can work himself up into a tizzy when we’re away from the house for more than an hour! I am so thankful that Chewy was well taken care of and it was such a relief not to worry about him! We will definitely work with Jenna again!!”
“This was Sadie’s first time at daycare with Leigh Ann and Matt and I think she had a great day playing with their dog, Biscuit. We are looking forward to her first boarding next week.”
“Christina and Russ took great care of my pup! He is very timid and shy, but they were patient and gentle with him. He had a great time and got plenty of exercise with other dogs. Thank you!!!”
About: Pet Care with Heart: A lifelong love for animals, from growing up with dogs to nurturing three beloved cats currently. Looking forward to expanding our furry family real soon too! As I already manage the care of 3 cats in my daily routine, your pet will seamlessly become part of our loving family, receiving the same dedicated attention and affection.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Sullivans Island
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 729 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Sullivans 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 Sullivans 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 729 sitters in Sullivans Island, 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.
