“i was visiting from out of town, and was so grateful to find a rover dog sitter like Cori. She was incredibly communicative, and was so loving toward our pups. they returned to us calm and happy, we were very appreciative of Cori's diligent care.”
“Alexis is amazing! We just moved to the area, and she immediately made us feel comfortable and at ease about leaving our Luna in her care. She was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and communicative throughout the entire experience. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Luna was in good hands. We’re so happy we found Alexis and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their fur baby! 🐾❤️”
“Jesse is very friendly. He guided us into his home with clear instructions. He took Sunny for a long walk with beautiful scenery along the road to release his energy. He took care of him very well by giving treats, cleaning him up after walk and settling him down in a very nice area of the home. Thank you for taking good care of my dog and I was able to enjoy visiting some places that are not dog friendly.”
“Sam and Yuchen provided daycare for us while we did a quick half day to the aquarium. Elphie is new to rover day care and they did amazing and accommodating. They are also super quick to reply whenever I sent a message which is a whole 5 stars in its own. Will definitely contact them again for dog sitting when we are in the area”
“Kalikonani is a lovely young lady who kindly cares for her dog and another small, older dog. She asked several questions before accepting the booking to be sure it would be a comfortable and safe environment for those (charming) dogs and mine. She gave me a detailed account of the entire time my dog was there with several photos. I would definitely book her again if I lived in the area or if I visit again.”
“Kelly and her boys took great care of our little girl while we were in town for a ballgame. They have a lovely neighborhood for walks and she sent lots of updates and pictures. I can’t recommend her more highly!”
About: I love animals, I even seriously considered becoming a vet and worked at a vet clinic for a few months. My grandfather is a vet as well. Growing up we had dogs, cats, birds, pretty much every animal under the sun. I am currently in law school at USC. I live in Marina Del Rey, in an apartment with a large balcony. I go to school four days a week (Mon-Thursday), so I'm home most of the time during the day. I'm very active and would be happy to take your dog running, hiking, or to the dog park down the street. I can administer any pet meds you need. Non smoker. No kids. No pets of my own. Please let me know if you have questions! My family is in the area and has a dog, if it would be preferable for you to have another dog your pup can play with I can always bring him over!
“I contacted Carol for the first time In Carmel by the Sea, CA. I needed my Boxer taken care of all day and was stressed how to find someone I can trust . I have to say that Carol made me at ease when we spoke when she picked him up and her generous videos what my dog was doing, the walks etc. no doubt, Carol is on my address book of a must to take care of my dog. Love it! Thank you Carol”
About: I’ve been a dog owner for many years and have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and needs—from younger, energetic dogs to large breeds and seniors who need a little extra patience and attention. I currently have two dogs of my own, including a senior, so I understand how important routines, comfort, and individualized care can be. I’m especially comfortable with senior dogs and pets who may move a little slower, need help getting around, take daily medication, or simply need more patience and reassurance. I’m also comfortable with larger dogs and understand that every pet has their own personality, energy level, and boundaries. I’ll follow your pet’s normal feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines as closely as possible so they feel comfortable while you’re away. Most importantly, I’ll care for your pets the way I’d want someone to care for mine—with patience, attention, affection, and plenty of updates so you know they’re safe and happy. 🐾 My current work schedule is very flexible, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I work limited hours, and on the days I do work, I’m typically home by 1 PM. This allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention throughout the afternoon and evening. Because I’m home much of the day, pets in my care won’t be left alone for long stretches. I’m also available for morning and evening routines and can adjust my schedule to accommodate each pet’s individual needs and normal routine. Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, boundaries, and any special instructions before caring for them. I follow feeding, medication, walking, and household routines closely and never assume that what works for one pet will work for another. In my home, pets are closely supervised and given a comfortable, safe environment with plenty of attention. I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes, feeding, and interactions between animals. I have dogs of my own, so introductions would always be handled carefully and based on each pet’s temperament and comfort level. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m equally respectful of both their pets and their property. I follow instructions closely, keep the home secure, and provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re away. 🐾
“Nina is wonderful - the peace of mind we have leaving Cosmo with her is priceless. Cosmo is comfortable in her home, Nina is very attentive, and her yard is terrific. Highly recommended!”
About: Hi! My name is McKayla and I am a big animal lover!! I have two friendly kitties named Snowbell and Penny, and a Boston Terrier named Sophie. In the past, I gained experience dog/cat sitting for family friends, but I am looking forward to broadening my care to dogs/cats in the neighborhood! I love going on long walks with my dog, so I thought it would be perfect to get the opportunity to help others out by walking theirs! I also love to cuddle my animals and give them some special attention, and I hope through Rover that I can spread more love to some furry friends! I live in a beautiful gated housing community so it is the perfect spot for long walking routes! If Its checking in on pets, I will be sure to make sure they get some special attention too:)
About: I grew up around animals, working on my grandparents’ ranch and helping to care for horses, cows, sheep, chickens, ducks, cats, and dogs. I’ve always found working with animals to come quite naturally for me. I first began pet sitting during high school, and in recent years I’ve fostered for local rescue organizations, taking care of and helping to socialize dogs who are up for adoption. My husband and I adopted our own rescue, Leroy, in February 2020 and are so grateful we did! I work from home during the week, and enjoy breaking up my workday with nature walks. Leroy and I love spending time with other dogs, and especially enjoy taking them with us to explore our beautiful neighborhood! I tend to talk often to Leroy and the dogs I’m caring for, and treat them more like little humans. The dogs I grew up with were treated like members of the family, and I’ll treat your dog with the same kindness and respect. Since I work from home, my schedule is flexible and adaptable depending on the needs of the animal I’m caring for. We have a big, grassy, fully-fenced yard and a doggy door for pups to enjoy indoor/outdoor access as they please. As an example of my routine for my own dog (and when I have furry guests!), I usually take Leroy for a morning walk, a lunchtime walk, and a hike or beach walk in the afternoon/early evening, plus a short potty walk after dinner. I prefer to visit for a meet-and-greet before scheduling any bookings, so that I can get to know you and your pet. I only board or provide doggy day care for dogs who get along well with other dogs, as they will be spending their time with my dog Leroy as well. I like to have an in-depth understanding of their typical daily schedule, so that I can stick to it closely during our time together. My goal is for your pet to be as comfortable and stress-free as possible, which to me means sticking to their usual routine and activities. I will follow your directions to a tee, and be in contact with updates regularly to keep you informed. If I'm house sitting, dog walking, or doing drop ins, I am happy to care for non-social pups as well. I'll treat your space with the utmost care and respect.
“Huge thanks to Elizabeth! She's a wonderful dog sitter. My little baby was so well looked after while I explored the Monterey Bay Aquarium with my baby. So grateful for her care! She seemed so calm and content when I picked her up, clearly enjoyed her stay 🥰”
About: I am an animal lover who has always had dogs in my home. I have a large backyard with shade and a big garage dedicated to large dogs, and I also accommodate smaller dogs in the house. I am a full time pet sitter home all day with our guests. Please ask if you need anything particular for your family members and I will do our best to accommodate. I have a large fully enclosed backyard and garage as well as indoor spaces with safe separation when required. I will accommodate if I can!
“Dilan was very kind and attentive to our blind rescue poodle Sugar and Melody was a perfect canine host. In turn Sugar was extremely happy and calm even though she always had severe separation anxiety due to her condition. Dilan is very communicative and understanding so you can trust your pet will be well taken care of.”
“Denise was great with our puppy Bruce. She checked in several times to give updates and send pictures. We felt very comfortable leaving our new puppy in her care. Thank you so much, Denise. We really appreciate your quick response to our last minute request to care for our pup!”
“Christine absolutely took exceptional care of my Coco. I would definitely recommend her services. I will be a repeat customer as she made my babygirl feel loved 🥰!!!”
About: I’ve had dogs as part of my family for 25 years and have also cared for friends’ and family members’ dogs for the past 3 years. I provide limited, home-style boarding in a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of personal attention. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine, and I make time to provide dependable, attentive care. I’m flexible and will work with your schedule to give your pet the attention they deserve. I provide a safe, comfortable environment with a large, securely fenced yard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time. I follow each pet’s individual routine, needs, and owner instructions to ensure they feel happy and well cared for.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Carmel Valley Manor
Kelly and her kids were amazing!! Typically, Hampton takes some time to warm up to people but he took to their family very quickly. Charlie is also very sweet. I loved how many photos and reassurance they provided throughout the day. Would absolutely recommend :)
Kelly did an amazing job taking care of my dog Clyde. She was super responsive, friendly, and kind. She sent me several pictures of Clyde throughout the day and that made me very happy. I could tell she took great care of him. Anytime I’m in the Carmel/Monterey Bay area with Clyde I will look to book with Kelly again.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Carmel Valley Manor
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 256 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Carmel Valley Manor. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Carmel Valley Manor commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 256 sitters in Carmel Valley Manor, 90% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
