“We were apprehensive as Luna is only 7 months old and has never been apart from us, but Sabrina reassured us she would be fine. She asked all the right questions (feeding, bathroom, sleeping routines) and told us we would get regular updates. Just as promised we got messages, photos and videos of Luna and her walks and meeting all the animals on the farm. When we collected her, it was clear that she had been loved and cared for the entire time we were away, and Luna would have been happy to stay. We won’t use another sitting service again, and would recommend Sabrina in a heartbeat. Thank you Sabrina”
“Sylvia was amazing! Great communication staying in contact with us via messages and pictures throughout our trip. Really appreciated her suggesting a quick meet and greet with our dog before we finalized the booking. Would highly recommend her services, so nice having the peace of mind your pet is in great hands!”
“Linda was Awesome! She took very good care of my guy Rocco. She also has her Neice staying with her & her Neice loves taking the dogs for walks so my guy was simply in Heaven. I will definitely use Linda again & have all ready recommended her to 2 other friends.”

About: Hi there! I have 3 years of professional experience working at a doggy daycare and hound rescue, along with 6 years of fostering for multiple local shelters and rescues. From playful pups to shy dogs who need a little extra patience, I understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. I currently work from home, which means I have plenty of flexibility for frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and, of course, lots of cuddles! I also have two small, friendly, and social dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs and making sure they feel safe and loved. I’m also a mom to a sweet 3-year-old daughter who loves animals and is learning to respect their space and boundaries. I always prioritize everyone’s safety and comfort, and I understand the importance of giving pets a calm, positive environment. Whether your pet needs a fun walking buddy, a cozy place to relax, or extra love while you’re away for the holidays, I’d be happy to help! I know how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, and I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and care I give my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members! 🐶💕 I work from home Monday-Thursday and have Friday-Sunday off. I live an active lifestyle and love taking my dogs for hikes. My roommate has two kids that she has 50% of the time. I will confirm with you whether or not they will be around during your pets stay. I have a fenced in back yard with lots of grass and a nice cement patio perfect for sun bathing. There are a ton of dog beds throughout the house for nap time. Your pet is welcome to sleep in bed with me during bed time.

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.
97% of sitters in Carmen City 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 Carmen City 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 Carmen City.
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 Carmen City. On Rover:
- 82% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 Carmen City 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.
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.
