About: I was a Kennel technician for a dog shelter In Texas. I have also raised 4+ dogs over the course of my life (two were family dogs). I am currently open to any day of the week for some services. Although for other services Monday through Friday will have to be flexible. I have a dog park in our neighborhood, lots of sidewalks that I love walking our dogs in. I have one sweet dogs that can keep your fur baby company and one cat as well. My dog is crate trained and can be kennel and separate if needed!
“My dog Bella had a great time with Marion! Marion provided updates and pictures throughout Bella's stay, and I could tell she had a great time. I would highly recommend Marion for dog sitting!”
“Carol took wonderful care of my Golden Retriever, Haley, while I was away. Haley stayed in Carol’s home, and I had complete peace of mind knowing she was being well taken care of. Carol provided regular updates and photos, which I really appreciated. When I picked Haley up, she was relaxed and content. Carol is kind and reliable, I would absolutely trust her with Haley again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog sitter.”
“Maria and Gregory were amazing! They took great care of our Labradoodle Daisy over a long weekend and treated her like Family. Maria and Greg provided updates every day to keep us up to date, and Daisy really seemed to like them evident by her good mood when we picked her up. Thank you Maria and Gregory!”
“Johemy was amazing with our Daisy! She sent us daily pics, and it was obvious Daisy thrived in her care. Excellent communication from the very start. We would enthusiastically recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter! Thank you so much Johemy!”
“Christina was amazing with keeping us updated with our fur babies. Picked them up and they of course where happy to us but can tell they where sad to leave. If we need a dog sitter again I the future will go with Christian.”
“My little dog had a wonderful time with Cecelia and Richard. Their daughter took Daisy on Walks and they sent pictures of Daisy laying in the sun and in the backyard. Thank you! We will book again as needed”
“Sam and Helen went well beyond my expectations! They were incredibly professional, prompt, kind and attentive with their care. They asked questions, followed all instructions accordingly and took time to leave me multiple, detailed updates throughout the day. I really love that they were able to meet my pup where she is at and give her the space to get comfortable at her own pace. They provided a lot of stimulation with tug, tricks and taking my sweet girl for scenic beach walks. She was well taken care of and it shows how much they prioritize making your pet feel at home. I would highly recommend them to other pet owners!”
“Great experience with Cori! Our dog was happy and well taken care of. Cori also has been very helpful durning the fires we are experiencing. We were evacuated and Cori has been great in helping with our dog. We would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Mary is a gem! She was incredibly attentive and responsive. I appreciated the regular updates and was very satisfied with the care she provided for my dog. She was also very flexible and accommodated travel delays and schedule changes. I cannot recommend her enough and would absolutely book her again! I could not have asked for a better experience!”
“If there is anyone that I would want to watch my dog while I was out of town it would be Chris (she’s also a local Vet tech). She took great care of my child/dog Aldo while I was gone for a few days. She always sent me pics of him having a great time at her house playing with the all the toys and her 2 dogs, always took him for walks, and gave him treats. He usually sleeps on his bed on the floor but when I came back he was sleeping on Chris’ bed... Now he sleeps in my bed every night since I picked Him up!! 5/5 stars and a great person too!”
“I felt comfortable leaving my big guy with Rosita. We did a meet and greet at first so I could see if it was a good fit. She has a spacious yard and took him for long walks. She was very attentive and asked questions to make sure he was well cared for. She updated me during the day with photos and videos. I would totally book with her again and recommend her to anyone! Thank you!!”
“Auggie had the best time with Denise and the pups that were there this weekend. He was so tuckered out he slept all the way home. Denise was awesome, always sending pics a d short videos throughout Auggie’s stay. Would highly recommend her for future stays.”
“We had a great experience with Nina! She was kind and communicative, has a wonderful backyard for the dogs to play in, and her own dog was a great playmate for our dog Daisy. She also sent us updates with photos during Daisy’s stay, which we really appreciated. Daisy was well cared for, happy, and came home in great spirits. We felt confident she was in good hands and wouldn’t hesitate to book with Nina again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Carmel Valley
Maria and Gregory just took wonderful care of our dog Jasper. They were kind, attentive and made sure he got plenty of exercise together with their own dog. They sent daily photos, giving us the ability to know he was in safe hands and so we could relax and enjoy our trip. We had total peace of mind knowing Jasper was in a great home, and we will definitely book them again!
Maria and Gregory were amazing! Harley gets overexcited when first arriving and can be off-putting but they took it in stride and I was thrilled to see a sweet picture of her curled up by Gregory within 15 minutes of my departure from their home. They have a lovely home with a great yard to explore and they were careful to put a cover over the gate area that had larger spacing where Harley might slip out. She enjoyed her stay immensely. I received pictures throughout her stay of her snuggling with family, walking with their pup Ruby and overall having a wonderful doggie vacay while I enjoyed my trip. They are such a sweet family and very loving. Great communication and all around fabulous people!

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.
100% of Carmel Valley 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 Valley 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 Valley 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 Valley.
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 Valley 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 CA 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.
