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.

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.
New-customer availability: Daycare inquiries are still welcome for 2026. Boarding onboarding is full for the remainder of 2026, so please submit a boarding inquiry only if you need care beginning in 2027.
- 1
Tell us about your dog
Share their health, personality, play style, boarding experience, and comfort around other dogs.
- 2
We review their needs
We’ll consider your dog’s personality and care needs alongside our environment, current playgroup, and available space.

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.

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.

Frequently asked questions
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.
How do you decide whether group care is a good fit?
We want every dog to feel safe and comfortable here. We consider their personality, health, history, and ability to participate in our daily routine.
- Behavior: Our setting may not be appropriate for dogs with bite attempts, unsafe aggression, severe separation anxiety, repeated escape behavior, or behavior that makes group play unsafe.
- Newly adopted or rehomed dogs: Dogs older than 6 months must live with their family for at least 6 months before beginning daycare or boarding. Puppies age 6 months or younger are exempt. This also applies when a current customer adds a dog.
- Senior dogs: We do not begin care for new dogs age 12 or older. Established dogs may continue after turning 12 when their health, mobility, comfort, and care needs remain compatible with our environment.
- Medical needs: We can give routine pills and tablets, but cannot provide continuous medical monitoring, injections, emergency intervention, or other specialized care.
- Noise and stress: Since we have neighbors, barking and other noise must remain reasonable. Persistent vocalizing or signs that a dog is overly stressed may mean our setting is not the right fit. Owner-provided bark collars are welcome when a dog is already comfortable using one at home.
- Intact dogs: We accept intact males, but not intact females because of the effect they can have on group dynamics and safety.
Meeting our general requirements does not guarantee acceptance. We may postpone or decline care when we believe a dog is not yet ready or would be safer and more comfortable in a different environment.
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.
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.
