Overnight stays

Two cozy ways to settle in.

Our main boarding building is a comfortable fit for social dogs who enjoy the group. The smaller sunroom offers a quieter, home-like space for shy or older dogs, dogs on medication, or pups who are new to boarding.

Up to 30 dogs

Standard boarding

Every dog has a personal kennel in our heated and cooled 1,200-square-foot building, with two quiet rooms for restful downtime after play. Spray-foam insulation, staff-accessible cameras, monitored smoke detectors, and a backup generator help keep everyone comfortable and cared for.

Up to 5 dogs

Sunroom boarding

Attached to our home, this heated and cooled space offers a quieter stay with its own private paddock. Dogs may still join the larger playgroup when that makes them happiest. Cameras and smoke and carbon-monoxide detectors add extra peace of mind.

Care beyond our gates

Here to help—even when we’re unavailable.

Dates can fill quickly, especially during holidays and other busy periods. When we are full or closed, we’re happy to help established customers explore other local care options.

Getting started

Let’s get to know your dog.

Every dog is different, and group care is happiest and safest when the environment suits their personality and needs. Our simple introduction process gives you and your dog a chance to get to know us before scheduling regular daycare or boarding.

  1. 1

    Tell us about your dog

    Share their health, personality, play style, boarding experience, and comfort around other dogs.

  2. 2

    We review their needs

    We’ll consider your dog’s personality and care needs alongside our environment, current playgroup, and available space.

  3. 3

    Come meet Cricket

    If our setting appears promising for your dog, we’ll arrange a free Meet & Greet with our family dog so everyone can get acquainted.

  4. 4

    Enjoy a trial day

    A required trial daycare visit gives your dog time to experience the group, get to know us, and practice resting comfortably in their own kennel. Trial daycare is charged at our regular rate: $28 for adult dogs and $33 for puppies.

The people behind the pack

Our home is part of what makes this work.

Rock Hill Pet Care is run by husband-and-wife team Trenton and Casey Madden from their home on two acres. We started in 2019 because we wanted dogs to enjoy more fresh air, green grass, and personal attention than a large facility can usually offer.

By keeping our groups manageable, we can know each dog by name, understand their routines, and build lasting trust with their people. Our goal is to be a dependable care team families can turn to whenever their dogs need a comfortable place to play or stay.

We send photos every day, adjust outdoor time when the weather calls for it, keep fresh water available, and provide a peaceful midday break so everyone can recharge before afternoon play.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

Are very vocal dogs a good fit?

Because Rock Hill Pet Care operates from our home in a residential neighborhood, we must keep barking and other noise to a reasonable level for our neighbors. Dogs who bark frequently, continuously, or are especially vocal may not be a good fit for our setting. Owner-provided bark collars are welcome for dogs who are already comfortable using them at home, but persistent vocalizing may still affect whether our environment is the right match.

What happens after I submit the Tell Us About Your Dog form?

We review every form to learn about your dog’s personality, care needs, and comfort with group play. If our environment appears suitable and space is available, we’ll contact you to arrange a free Meet & Greet. If that goes well, the next step is a required trial daycare visit at our regular rate: $28 for adult dogs and $33 for puppies. Submitting the form is the first step in getting acquainted and does not reserve a space or guarantee availability.

What dogs may not be a good fit?

Our setting is generally not appropriate for dogs with bite attempts, unsafe aggression, severe separation anxiety, repeated escape behavior, or behavior that makes group play unsafe. We also cannot accept intact females or puppies that have not completed their vaccine series.

Can you care for dogs with medical conditions?

We can give routine pill and tablet medications, but we are not equipped to provide higher-level medical care or continuous medical monitoring. We cannot accept dogs with conditions such as diabetes or seizure disorders, or dogs who require injections, emergency intervention, or other specialized care.

What vaccines are required?

Rabies, DHPP/DaPP, and Bordetella must be current. Puppies must complete all rounds of puppy vaccines, usually around 16 weeks old.

Do you take intact dogs?

We currently accept intact males. We do not accept intact females because they can significantly change group dynamics and create safety issues.

What does a typical day look like?

Dogs enjoy 4+ hours of supervised outdoor time each day, with adjustments during extreme heat, cold, or storms. A peaceful midday kennel break helps everyone recharge before afternoon play.

How are feeding and medications handled?

We normally feed morning and evening, but can follow your dog’s home routine. Bring food in individual bags. Routine pill and tablet medications are included; we cannot accommodate dogs who require higher-level medical care.

What happens if you are full or closed?

We’re happy to help established customers explore other local care options when we are full or closed. We can point you toward trusted providers whose services may suit your dog. Each business manages its own availability, reservations, agreements, and payments.

What can my dog bring?

Beds, blankets, and safe chew toys are welcome. Very large bedding may be hard to wash if soiled, and rawhide chews are not given.

How does payment work?

Reservations are prepaid through Paw Partner, with a card kept on file for approved additional charges.
