“My first time using Rover and was very pleased. Angela was caring and very nice. The home was well kept and cosy for our dog. Will be using again and definitely recommend Angela”
“My dog Kee Kee is 14 and deaf and I was so worried to leave her. I met with Julie and just felt she would be the right person to leave Kee Kee with. We also did an hour visit one day before leaving to make sure it would be a good match. Julie sent me pictures of Kee Kee everyday to let me know how she was doing. When I picked her up she was happy and I knew she had been well cared for. Julie was the best and I strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving person and home to leave their precious fur family member with.”
“This was our first time leaving our Koa Bear, so we were naturally anxious. Rachel was wonderful and provided daily updates that really put our minds at ease. We could tell Koa was in great hands. Thank you, Rachel, for taking such great care of our sweet Koa! We wouldn’t hesitate to book with you again.”
“Doh was an absolute lifesaver taking care of Dodger last minute. She was very responsive, attentive, and made me feel completely at ease during his stay. This was Dodger’s first time boarding overnight with someone else, and she did an amazing job keeping me updated with pictures and messages letting me know how he was doing. I truly appreciated her communication and care, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Kendra is the best! She is wonderful with our goldendoodle Jessie. I never have to worry about our girl while she is in Kendra's care. Shout out to Chico who is also great host and friend who always makes Jessie feel welcomed!”
“Serena and Wes were amazing with our dogs, River and Fin. They had a staycation at Serena's house while we hosted a large birthday party for our son. Serena sent loads of photos and the dogs came home totally exhausted from all of the play. Will absolutley use them again!”
“Laura took such good care of my cat Shiny and made all the accommodations she needed. She even checked in and sent me a couple updates with photos. Thank you Laura for making my vacation worry free!”
“They went above and beyond in taking care of our Tinkerbell, a senior german shepherd with hip problems. They updated us on how she was doing and sent us pictures daily.”
“I would highly recommend Adrienne! She was kind enough to meet us prior to booking and was very accommodating. Adrienne took great care of our two rambunctious pugs, sent a photo and video update, and was super flexible about drop-off and pick-up times. Our dogs came home exhausted from their weekend of fun.”
“Erin and Devin took such amazing care of our dog, Kody, while we were away. Kody is usually pretty anxious, so we’re always a bit nervous leaving him—but he absolutely loved being with them. It was clear from the updates that he felt comfortable, happy, and right at home. Knowing he was in such good hands allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation stress-free, which means everything. We’re so grateful to have found Erin and Devin and wouldn’t hesitate to trust them with Kody again. Highly recommend!”
“I was nervous leaving Ollie with a new sitter since he’s so used to having me or my fiancé home with him, but Ekaterina was amazing. She sent lots of photos and regular updates, which really put my mind at ease. When I picked him up, he looked happy, relaxed, and very calm. It was clear he was well cared for. I would definitely recommend Ekaterina and would happily book with her again!”
About: Our three rescues recently traveled to the rainbow bridge after 13 years in our home. We are not ready to fill our home permanently, but are emotionally available to love on your babies while you’re gone. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life. I have many years of pet sitting and house sitting including dogs, cats, fish, and bunnies. I know firsthand how expensive pet boarding is, not to mention stressful, so I am here to make traveling and being away easier. I work very part time and stay home with my kids, so I am available regularly and have an extremely flexible schedule for accommodating needs. We have a one story home with a large fenced in yard for safe exploring and sun bathing. Our home is currently pet free, so your pets would have full control of the place!
“Nancy was perfect! I didn’t worry or fret about my dog’s well being and had a stress free night out away! It was our first time being separated over night. He did great, largely, I’m sure because of Nancy ! He will be staying with her again for sure.”
“This is the first time that I've used Johnna, and all have to say is the cats warmed up to her immediately. Is she a pet whisperer? Everything went smoothly and she did everything I asked. She cleaned up litter messes and took it out to our outside garbage can so there was no litter smells when we got home. She spent time playing with them and even got my anxious cat to warm up to her. Definitely recommend her!”
“Jasmine was absolutely amazing! She has a great backyard for the dogs to run around. She sent pictures and videos everyday and Shasta always looked so happy. I will definitely be contacting Jasmine again to care for our sweet girl!”
“One of the best dog sitters I’ve had! She took care of my dog in her home like he was part of their family. Sent so many great pictures and updates which put me at ease during my dog’s first stay with Christany and her family. Quick responses. Rebooked already for another stay! We appreciate this warm and loving home!”

Giovanni was perfect for my dog Lilac! He made sure she was comfortable and gave her lots of love. I appreciated the updates and photos I received. He administered medication with ease and was attentive to Lilac’s needs. I would absolutely recommend to anyone who wants their dog to be well cared for during their time away.
Serena and Wes were amazing with our pup Scout! Scout’s a nervous and reactive guy and this was the longest we’d left him since we adopted him. But as soon as we met Serena and Wes it was apparent that they love dogs and would be a great home away from home for our lil guy. And boy were we right! Serena sent tons of pictures and videos and it was apparent that Scout was having a great time. He loved running around with them in their yard, he learned to catch treats, and got all the cuddles. Felt like he was on vacation too! 10/10 would book again and recommend!!
Melissa is an awesome caregiver. Her home is cozy and her kids are playful with my German shepherd. I received updates daily while I was abroad. Totally 10/10, would recommend for anyone to trust with care with your furry friend. Brownie points for her for being so flexible at the last minute to accommodate my little guy. Thank you again for your help!
Over the last 6 years we have tried many boarding options and all of them have done a great job however this is the first time we felt that we found another home for Leo at Britany and her family. It looks like they are not doing for the money. They took care of Leo like their own home member. Highly recommend. Thank you Brittany and family for all the love and care!
We had such a wonderful experience with Monique! 🐾❤️ This was the first time we left Simba with a sitter, so we were a little nervous, but she made the entire experience so easy and reassuring. Simba was very well cared for, loved, and happy while we were away. She was attentive, caring, and kept us updated, which gave us so much peace of mind. We truly appreciate the wonderful care she gave Simba and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter. We will absolutely be using her again
Josue looked after Stone for a week while we were having a trip. We have a meet and greet first before the boarding begins. Josue and his wife are very nice and sent me updates almost everyday. Stone like being there and we definitely would rebook again when future needs arises. Thank you.
We had a great experience! They took wonderful care of Moby from the 28th–30th and kept me updated with photos throughout his stay. Moby has a grass allergy, and they were very attentive about wiping him down and doing their best to keep him comfortable. I really appreciated the extra care and communication. We’ll definitely be booking with them again! 🐶❤️
Coryn always does such a wonderful job taking care of Nova! Nova always leaves tired but happy & I can tell she genuinely enjoys being there. This was Nova’s second time staying with Coryn for a week & I know we will choose her to watch Nova again every time we have a vacation! Thank you, Coryn!!
We are so happy to have found Johnna for our girls. She gives them so much love and takes wonderful care of them. We love getting the daily pictures and updates. She is such an animal lover and it shows. We are so grateful to have found her. We have peace when leaving them knowing they are in loving hands.
She’s the best!! I love the daily updates and she communicates very well I’m so lucky to have found her my dog loves her so much and she treats my dog blue like her family !

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 Carmichael 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 Carmichael 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 Carmichael.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Carmichael 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.
