“Doh was an excellent communicator for our first time experience with Rover. Louie was in good hands with extra playmates and she treated him like he was her own dog. I would highly recommend Doh to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Serena and Wes are amazing hosts! As promised, she sent plenty of pictures of our boxers. They spoiled them during their stay for sure. Beezley and Maile looked sooo happy! We'll definitely be back for future sittings. If you're looking for a sitter, look no further. Thank you Serena and Wes!”
“We adopted our dog 9 months ago and wasn’t sure how she would behave in a new environment with other dogs. We visited Wyne and due to her experience, she could immediately tell that Ruby would be a sociable dog. The day came and the experience was like dropping your child off to their first day of kindergarten. Ruby happily went to Wyne and didn’t look back. Wyne sent photos and gave us regular updates which gave us comfort that Ruby was doing well. Thank you Wyne!”
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!
About: I have volunteer experience at an animal shelter, so I have experience working with and caring for dogs, cats, and even rabbits! I have also taken a couple dog handling classes through the shelter. I have owned dogs all my life and have trained a few of them as youngsters in basic commands (sit, stay, come, down, etc). I am also a horse girl and thus have pretty impressive upper arm strength for my size, so I can handle your large dog that pulls on walks. I am transitioning from a part time job to full time pet care with Rover so I have full flexibility and am able to zip over and give your pet some TLC whenever I'm needed. I have a dog of my own so I also understand and can provide what a pet needs in a typical day. In my house, pets are treated like family. From the moment I enter your home or meet your pet, it becomes part of my family too and I will care for it as such. I believe compassion, patience, and a good sense of humor are essential to good pet care regardless of whether you're inside or outside the home. An environment of fun, love, and trust will be created when I care for your pet and I'm sure a great bond will form whether I meet that pet one time or 30 times.
“Very pleased with ease of communication, Sarah was accommodating with my lack of transportation to get my dog to their place and back to mine. Would love to have her take care of my dog again if schedules allow.”
“Jasmine took phenomenal care of my little Lucy, and provided daily updates and photos. As this was my first time using Rover, I was a bit nervous, but Jasmine allowed me to stop by for brief visits before my booking which was reassuring to me and my dog. Jasmine is warm, friendly, and clearly loves animals. I highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again when I need a dog sitter.”
“Erin and Devin were absolutely wonderful sitters for my dog! From the moment we connected, they were communicative, kind, and clearly experienced. I felt completely at ease knowing my Aussie was in such caring hands. They provided daily updates, gave plenty of attention, and made sure my dog was comfortable, happy, and well cared for the entire stay. I came home to a relaxed, happy dog. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Erin and Devin again”
“Sharee and her family were so sweet and welcoming. I requested a booking same day and she responded promptly. She was attentive in asking questions about my pup to get to know him well. Throughout his 2 night stay, she sent me many pictures that reassured me that he was having a great time. I would definitely book with Sharee again!!!!”
“Mari did a wonderful job. Kind heart, good with my dog, quick communication and I truly felt Rue was well taken care of. She was very patient with us and answered any and all questions I had. Sent photos and kept me updated. Great house for dog sitting with options to all hang out together or separate them, if needed. Big backyard for the fun time too! Thank you, Mari. Appreciate it very much!”
“Juan did an amazing job of taking care of our pooch, he’s a very kind gentleman, and he took great care of our dog. He took her own long walks and provided photographs of her being her silly self. He also followed the schedule very well, so I recommend him highly to anybody looking to board their dog. He is a great guy and will take great care of your animals. Thank you.”
“Gregory was absolutely amazing with my dog. He kept me well informed of how my dog was doing throughout the visit and provided me photos that reassured me that my dog was happy and having a great time. Gregory was also very mindful of my dogs special needs and always took those into consideration while he was watching him. I will definitely be boarding my pup with him again. It was a wonderful experience for both of us and I’m grateful to have found such an amazing and caring Dog Sitter.”
“Irina took amazing care of my two girls. She was accomidating to their diet and able to keep them longer when my flight got changed. She was so sweet and gentle with my girls. They were relaxed and happy to run back to say goodbye to her when I picked them up. I recieved photo updates everyday and will definitely be returning.”
“Sammy was great! She helped my dog settle in and feel safe in her home, even sent pics and updates so I wouldn’t worry about him. I highly recommend Sammy and will definitely book with her again. It was a great experience for me and my dog.”
“My regular sitter had to back out at the last minute and I was stressing out, but I'm very grateful to Marc and Rachael for accepting my 3 fur kids at the last minute. They sent me updates and pictures everyday, and I could tell that my dogs were very well cared for. Their house was a great environment for my doggies, and they did a great job with dogsitting them for a whole week. Highly recommended!”
About: I was previously a professional dog trainer for a year at a facility and plan to make it part of my future! I am now a vet assistant, as I work on finishing my schooling for my certification in vet tech. I have always been very passionate about animals and have many of my own. I have pet sat many friends and neighbors animals over the years doing task such as feeding, bathing, providing stimulation, giving medication, and more. I love to help out any way I can and will ensure your furry companions will always be safe and happy in my care:) I am a full-time dog trainer and have Thursday and Fridays off that I can fully dedicate to your furry friends. I am also available any time after 5 any other day that is available on my calendar. I will ensure all animals will be very closely supervised (even in fenced areas), and attended to however they may need. I will do quick health checks before and after handling the animal.
“Richard was absolutely awesome! He took such great care of my dog and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. He was caring, responsible, communicative, and clearly loves animals. I really appreciated the updates and knowing my dog was in such good hands. I would definitely recommend Richard to anyone looking for a trustworthy and wonderful dog sitter!💕”

Naomi is the only boarder my Fur Baby will ever go to, when she’s available. She’s honestly so good that I am willing to plan my vacations around her schedule. My baby continues to come home the same happy camper as the day I dropped her off. That could be two days or as up to 14 days.
Rachel and Jason were great. After the initial meet and greet with Rachel, I felt good leaving my dog with her. She reassured me that they have been dog sitting for quite a while. She gave daily updates and pictures of my dog. I would definitely book with them again.
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!
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.
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!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Carmichael is $49 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $71 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 1,680 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Carmichael. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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, 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.
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 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 , 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 .
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.
