“Dew was fantastic! Her communication was great, she made sure my dog was comfortable and settled in. She sent status updates throughout his stay. He came home unstressed and in a great mood all happy and healthy. I would highly recomend her to anyone looking for dog care!”


“Pam was great. She posted a lot of pictures to let us know Luna was having fun and communicated daily. You could tell she had a lot of experience with dogs and with petting sitting/boarding. We would definitely use Pam again for the next time we go out of town.”
“We are so happy to have found Erika! She takes great care of our 19lb doodle and sends lots of photos. She’s super easy to communicate with and is very personable as well.”

“Daisy lived her overnight stay with Saori. She came home happy and super relaxed. I loved getting photo updates throughout her stay. I knew Daisy was in good hands and it helped make my trip so much more enjoyable knowing she was safe and well cared for. I’ll be booking again soon.”

“Lucienne did a wonderful job watching our dog Cooper over a long weekend. She sent updates and photos throughout the weekend. Cooper came back happy and we would definitely recommend and use Lucienne again.”

“Marie and her family were incredible with our puppy. He was only 13 weeks at the time so of course we were a little anxious. What a waste of energy! We got texts and pictures every day so we could see how well he was doing. Allowed us to relax and enjoy our time away. Exceeded all of our expectations. Wouldn’t hesitate to use again and would highly recommend Marie to anyone ?❤️”

“Sonia is an amazing dog sitter! Very kind, caring and responsible. Treated my dog like her own. Lives in a beautiful neighborhood to walk dogs. Very easy to talk to and arrange dates and times. Sent pictures every day. My dog made new friends and had a nice vacation with Sonia and her family.”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Even with all the rain that week, Jomini and her family took wonderful care of our Bella, and made sure she was happy and well cared for. She also sent us pictures throughout the week, which meant so much because we missed Bella so much. We had complete peace of mind knowing Bella was in such caring hands. Thank you for taking such great care of our girl!”

“I was very pleased with the care my dog received from Rachel. She sent multiple pictures & videos daily. He was well cared for & had a wonderful time as per the photos! He was taken on long hikes daily. I would feel very comfortable having Rachel watch him again and highly recommend her.”

“Nicole is fantastic! We were nervous about boarding my dog at someone else’s house for the first time and she was reassuring, patient, and attentive to all of Jack’s needs. Great with medication administration and provided daily photos and updates on how Jack was doing. Certainly gave us peace of mind on our trip. We will definitely be using Nicole for our next trip and would recommend her to anyone!”

“Rich was amazing! This was our first time with Rich and also the first time my pup stayed with anyone outside of family. My pup has pretty bad separation anxiety and Rich did such an amazing job at making him feel comfortable. He makes it a point to make sure all the dogs are feeling comfortable and getting along. My pup warmed up to the situation quickly and seemed to have a great time. He offers to send pics/videos as much or as little.. i of course opted for as much and I was updated every day throughout the day! I traveled from Brooklyn and it feels well worth it. Will continue to use him as my dogs watcher!”

“Our dog Laika had her first experience of being with a sitter for several days and we were fortunate to have met wonderful people in Natasha and Hamir. Their kindness and attentiveness are extraordinary and they ensured to make our dog as comfortable as possible giving her love and care which made her feel as if at home. Natasha and Hamir were communicating daily with brief recap of the day and Laika’s photos from her walk and during her cozy downtime. They were willing to accommodate any requests we had. Natasha and Hamir are one of a kind and we can only wholeheartedly recommend them as wonderful people and dog lovers. We surely found a place we can call a “home-way-from home” for our Laika in the future as well.”

“This is my second time having my fur baby with Sue. It was a much longer visit this time (a week) amd Sue remained her kind communicative self. Would recommend in a heartbeat. She goes above and beyond. Thank you! 💕”

“We love, love, love Lily and her whole family, including Speedy. Our dog Flynn is so happy they’re running and playing and feeling like he’s at his home away from home. We can’t recommend Lily enough!”

About: I grew up with a loved dog and spent countless joyful hours caring for, playing with and training her. In addition to growing up with a dog, I had the pleasure of intermittently watching my neighbors’ dogs for the past four years and each experience has deepened my love for our furry friends. You can trust that your pets will receive abundant love and attention while you’re away. Having navigated my own dog’s seizures, I’m well-equipped to handle any situation and comfortable administering medication if needed. I can clean up after animals in any regard and am comfortable bathing them if necessary. Your pets will be in compassionate and capable hands. Pet care is something I look forward too every day. Each day, I will dedicate specific times for walks, play and feeding, ensuring that your pets’ needs are fully met. While I work a full-time job, I am ready to accommodate my schedule during the week. I’m available for dog walking or dog sitting or cat sitting after 5 PM on Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays. On the weekends, I have even more flexibility, allowing for extended playtime and quality moments with your pets. I have no pets at home, creating a calm and comfortable environment for your pets. If it helps them feel more at ease, I can easily section off a room just for your dog or cat. I also have a long leash available, allowing for plenty of fun and exploration in a safe space. My goal is to provide a stress-free atmosphere for your pets. I’m more than happy to come to your home as well, ensuring they remain in a familiar setting that minimizes anxiety.
“Katharine was amazing! She sent detailed updates multiple times a day about what Duchess was up to, their daily adventures, how she was eating, and more — along with lots of photos. She was incredibly accommodating of Duchess’s anxiety and need for slow introductions/interactions. Duchess absolutely loved her and didn’t want to leave when I picked her up! Katharine is such a wonderful sitter and person, and I can’t wait for her to watch Duchess again. Thank you so much again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Carmel
Our elderly black lab Sadie received very good care while staying at Marie’s home. Marie sent me several photos of Sadie enjoying herself in her large, fenced in back yard. I can tell Marie is a very kind person who loves animals, as is her husband. I would definitely feel comfortable leaving Sadie in her care again.
Our dogs had the best time! The fenced in yard is secure and gave them a great area to run around and play in. Jen sent a lot of pictures and updates and made us feel really comfortable while our dogs stayed with them. Looking forward to having them watch our dogs again!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Carmel on Rover is $64.2 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,367 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Carmel. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
97% of Carmel sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Carmel landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Carmel 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 Carmel.
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.
You and your Carmel 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 NY 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.
