Fun For Your Top Dog…Peace Of Mind For You
Our policies, procedures, employee training and facility are all designed to ensure
SAFETY, CLEANLINESS, COMFORT, FUN and CONVENIENCE.
SAFE & CLEAN

- State-of-the-Art air replacement system helps eliminate potential for airborne pathogens
- Hourly/Daily/Weekly cleaning & sanitizing protocol

COMFORTABLE
- Spacious, clean, private suites; all-day play (or not, if preferred)
- Multiple, air-conditioned/heated playrooms

- Dogs play only with others they are comfortable being around; smaller, compatible groups = less stress and more relaxed play

- Scientifically proven music to enhance relaxation and sound sleeping
- Aromatherapy to ease anxiety

FUN
Dogs don’t like surprises… they love to follow a happy, comfortable routine. Here’s a typical day for Boarding dogs at Red Rover:
- Wake to start the day…
- Head outside for a pee+…
- Return to find breakfast prepared and awaiting…
- Rest for about an hour+ (this is a safety precaution to prevent bloat) …
- Join a carefully designed play group – these are dogs that have similar energy and are like in size and age…
- Start winding down with a nice dinner…
- Rest for an hour+…(this is a safety precaution to prevent bloat) …
- Rejoin play group for a little evening play and a last pee+…
- Night, Night – Ahhhh… that classical music is so mesmerizing!
No matter what time your dog arrives for PlayCare, they join an appropriate play group based on age, size and/or energy, and spend the day romping with their friends until Mom or Dad come to pick them up. Our group supervisors are well-trained and give thoughtful attention to each dog.
CONVENIENT
For PlayCare, a half-day is five hours or less and a whole day is more than five hours. PlayCare is available between 8 a.m. – 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
For boarding, we are very flexible in terms of check-in and check-out times. There are some limitations however:
- Pick-up and drop-off between 6 a.m. – 6 p.m.
- Pick up after 1 p.m. will be charged for that day’s PlayCare
- Hurricane evacuation person and contact information required for stays June through November. If none provided and Red Rover evacuates pets, a $100 evacuation fee plus an additional $25 per night until the pet returns to Hilton Head Island will be incurred.
A Double-Bubble SPAW Experience can be scheduled for boarding or PlayCare dogs.
