“I can't recommend Serena enough! She took care of my English lab, Bear, and truly went above and beyond. She showered him with love and attention, making sure he was comfortable and happy the whole time. The best part was how thoughtful and communicative she was—she sent so many pictures and updates, so I never had to worry. It was clear from the start that she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. If you're looking for someone reliable, kind, and caring for your pet, Serena is the perfect choice!”
“Angela and her home was a great choice to board my dog, Rocco, for a weekend stay. He has separation anxiety so she gave him plenty of attention and affection to make him feel right at home. She also shared photos and videos of his stay. The next time I'm in Sacramento, I won't hesitate to book her again!”
“Maverick has been with Derek and Leslie twice so far and he loves it! He’s always well taken care of and has a great time. They are incredibly flexible with my schedule and super responsive. I would recommend sending your pups here!”
“Jasmine was so very attentive and communicative during my week-long vacation. She sends lots of videos and photos and genuinely really loves the dog she cares for. I would definitely hire her again!”
“Remi had a great time and was well taken care of! Rachel was also very accommodating with drop off when our train was running behind schedule- much appreciated :) highly recommend”
“We left our dog Addie with Jennifer over the weekend. She took such good care of her and sent us regular updates so we didn’t worry at all. When we picked up Addie, she was happy to see us, but did not appear the least bit stressed out, and was exhausted from playing with Jennifer’s pup, Journey. She was very flexible with us in dropping off and picking up and I appreciate her quick response to messages and booking request. I will definitely book with Jennifer again!”
“Sammy was awesome! She gladly watched my dog last minute when I was in desperate need. She took great care of Bella and sent me updates/photos. I highly recommend her & will be using her again! Thank you!”
“Janice was an excellent sitter. My dog had a an unforeseen medical issue and Janice volunteered to take my dog to the veterinary clinic which was above and beyond expectations. Janice sent updates throughout the days my dog was in her care via pictures and short videos. I highly recommend Janice.”
“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.”
“Needed a last minute sitter for my furry garbage disposal and Irina responded immediately despite it being late at night. She was courteous and kind and very accommodating. Irina made an effort to learn more about my pup beforehand and met us with a cheery smile and calmly approached my anxious dog. During the stay, I received multiple updates and photos and I could tell my pup was in good hands. Irina is professional and communicative and I will definitely be booking with her again.”
About: Hello! My name is Morgan, and I’m an experienced dog mom and pet sitter with a lifelong love for animals. I grew up in the country surrounded by animals, so caring for pets has always been a big part of my life. During college, I fostered dogs and regularly pet sat, which is actually how I found my own dog, Tana. I’ve enjoyed it so much that we decided, why not expand to Rover? I truly believe that pets are apart of the family and I will care for your pup like they’re one of my own. I have a very flexible schedule and me and my partner, Brandon, are home everyday. This gives us plenty of time for walks, playtime, potty breaks, feeding, and lots of attention. I treat every pet like they are my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal feeding, walking, sleeping, and medication routine.
“Zetta, is simply the best! Professional, trustworthy, and genuinely caring, they provided outstanding care for our cat while we were away. We loved receiving updates and photos, and our cat was happy and relaxed when we returned home. We wouldn't hesitate to book again and highly recommend them to anyone needing pet care.”
“Jonna did great job taken care of my baby fur! Luke loves Peaches, both dogs playful together. Thank you so much for taking good care of Luke. Recommend book with her. I will rebook with her in near future.”
“Geisel sent multiple pictures and videos each day. She seemed to have a true affection for my dog Ollie and I was very comfortable that Ollie was well cared for”
“Phil and Jenny are caring compassionate individuals. Who treat your pet family member, with the same consideration. My puppy was treated and cared for, as though she was one of their pet family members. I plan to use them in the future!💕”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Carmichael
Serena was wonderful. This was Lily’s first time at Serena’s and I would be have no hesitation leaving Lily there again. I instantly felt at ease when we did our meet and great—she and Wes were so good with Lily who can be a handful. Serena followed up with notes from our conversation about how we care for Lily which was really impressive, such care and attention. They took great care of her and sent tons of photos and updates. Thank you Serena and Wes!!
My dog has some quirks, so it was nice to find Monique who was willing to roll with it! Also loved that my dog was the only "guest" so she had a lot of attention. Monique sent a couple of photos and reported from time to time regarding her eating habits and kept me informed. She was safe and fed...and attached to Beverley especially, I think! It's hard to leave your little girl with strangers but I never really worried as she was in good hands. I'll book with Monique again the next time I travel.
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.
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!

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.
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.
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 Carmichael. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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 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.
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.
