“Christina is communicative, flexible, and caring. Our dog was feeling a bit nervous in a new environment and Christina did her best to support our dog while we were away. When we picked up our dog she was happy and healthy! Thank you, Christina!”
“Paula is a dog person thru and thru and I loved knowing my Lily pug was safe in her care. Will use Paula again :) Thank you again for taking such good care of our lily pug!”
“Our experience was fantastic with Kevin & Atalaya! We took our golden over there for the week and it was fantastic. They have plenty of room to run the dogs around, they have a great family that gives the dogs attention and they send plenty of updates and videos throughout the week. Five star review from our family, we will definitely use them again!”
“Gloria was AMAZING! My pup can take a little bit of time to warm up to people, but right away she loved Gloria’s energy and so did I. Gloria is knowledgeable and confident in her care for animals and does a wonderful job at providing a welcoming and calm space. I’m already planning more trips and feel so relieved knowing I have someone who will take such good care of my pup while I’m away.”
“We love Kimberly and her family - they always take such good care of Guinevere. We love the pictures we regularly get and she has such great communication. This is the second time that she has watched our dog and our dog was excited to see her once she realized where we were! We will definitely book with Kimberly in the future!”
“Allison was very accommodating with our dog Yoshi who still has a lot of puppy energy. I could tell that Yoshi had a great stay, he came back home calm and very affectionate. I'll definitely reach out to Allison for dog sitting in the future.”
“I had a wonderful experience and will recommend Megan to everyone! Kitty said she had a blast and can't wait for me to go on another vacation. If you need a reliable sitter, look no further!”
“We are so grateful for Chaun for taking such great care of our Gus over Christmas! We got regular updates that were thoughtful and fun, and he seemed to have a blast with her own pups (and kitty). He came home tired and happy- thank you again for your care, Chaun!”
“Melani was great taking care of CalCal my goldendoodle. We met up beforehand to make sure my dog would get along with her dog. She sent many photos during the boarding. Would use her again; thanks Melani!”
“Kylee was absolutely amazing with our dog Sunny! She was so easy to communicate with, she sent daily pics and it looked like Sunny had such a good time with her and her family. We will absolutely be having Kylee watch Sunny again!!!”
“This was the first time I was away from Toby, who I rescued about 2 1/2 months ago. The stay could not have gone any better! I received a daily series of photos that made me smile! They are a caring couple who went beyond the call of duty in taking care of Toby.”
“Elise agreed to care for our senior doxie for a long weekend. She did a great job! When we picked him up, he was relaxed and obviously received good care. We are over the moon to have someone who lives near us who welcomed our little one into their home while we were gone. He was quickly welcomed into the family. Thank you Elise!!”
“Daniel was a knight in shining armor for our family. Our original sitter had a family emergency and we had a flight to catch. Daniel was accommodating and made my pup feel at home with lots of walks and belly rubs. Daniel and his family will definitely be our go to for pet sitting!”
“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Kelsi! Will definitely book again next time we need a sitter. She took amazing care of my dogs and communication was great. We got fun little updates and pictures everyday. Thank you!!”
“Angelica and Bruce took great care of our dog for the weekend. It was really clear from the moment they met our pup that they love dogs. They took him on tons of walks and gave him plenty of attention. We felt extremely comfortable he was in great hands and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a dogsitter in the area.”
“Great communication, provided updates and pictures. Thanks so much for taking good care of my pup for 4 nights when I had a family emergency. He means so much to me and my kids. It was so helpful knowing he was left in good hands. I could tell you walked him a lot when they spelled out w.a.l.k in lieu of saying the word, he gets so excited. Apologies again for the text meant for my buddy…”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,594 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Carlton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Carlton can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Carlton home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Carlton.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Carlton. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Carlton sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
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 OR 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
