“Second time my dog Olivia has been in Bobby’s care. Seems like she is very chirpy and comfortable. I have a feeling she is happy there :) Asked Bobby to send me a few photos and updates while I was away and he responded immediately.”
“I’d had a bad experience with a kennel, so I thought I would try something different. River.com has been a lifesaver! So easy to use the app and book your stay. Michael is the best. I have a very temperamental Doxie. She doesn’t like anybody. Well, she likes Michael! I can leave her with him and feel completely at ease. She’s stayed with him twice so far, and from the photos he sends me, she’s had a GREAT time with him. Please don’t put your dog in a kennel. Put her in a loving environment where she will be nurtured and taken care of. Send her to Michael! You, and your pup, will be glad you did...”
“Amazing service! My road trip was a beautiful disaster, but Zak was so understanding and made sure to keep me updated! I can’t be more happier with the service and look forward to booking in the future!”
“Believe the hype! Tamara's home is dog-HEAVEN! Her house is full of dog beds, toys, and other cute little doggies for your furry child to play with. Thank you so much Tamara for taking care of our baby. We are already booking her again for next week!”
“Alexis and her family were absolutely wonderful with our dog Rio. This was our first time using this type of boarding service an I was a bit nervous. Her husband greeted me when I dropped Rio off and was so nice and easy going. It made me instantly feel at ease. During Rio’s stay, Alexis sent pictures and videos of Rio having the time of his life. One of my kids said “Do you think he’s even going to want come home” LOL. If you want your dog to be loved and treated like part of of a family while you’re gone I HIGHLY recommend using Alexis and her family!! 10/10 in my book!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I dropped off my dog, Sugar, with Cody, and let me explain what “Sugar” is dealing with. Sugar is a tiny white cockapoo whose greatest natural predator is…existing. She’ll hear a leaf land three houses away and immediately file an insurance claim. She has been startled by her own reflection, a pillow, and once spent five minutes suspicious of a decorative pumpkin. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So naturally, I was thinking, “There’s no way this dog survives being around another dog and a cat.” Wrong. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cody has this supernatural calm that apparently extends to terrified fluff balls. His dog was basically like, “Hey, you wanna hang out?” Sugar answered in her native language, which is silent panic. His dog didn’t care. She just kept being cool until Sugar realized nobody was trying to assassinate her. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Then there’s the cat. Most cats look at a nervous little dog like they’re planning a documentary called How Easy Would It Be? Cody’s cat was just…chill. At one point I think the cat judged me more than it judged Sugar. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ By the end of the stay, Sugar was wandering around like she paid the mortgage. She actually looked relaxed. Relaxed! This is a dog who’s emotionally overwhelmed by a ceiling fan. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I don’t know what Cody does. Maybe he whispers affirmations. Maybe he has Disney-princess powers. Maybe his dog is running some kind of emotional support operation and the cat is HR. Whatever it is, it works. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I picked Sugar up happy, safe, exhausted from actually having fun instead of rehearsing imaginary disasters. Cody sent updates, took amazing care of her, and somehow convinced the canine equivalent of an anxious Victorian ghost that life isn’t one long emergency. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If your dog is confident, Cody will probably make them happier. If your dog is like Sugar and thinks gravity is a personal attack, Cody is basically a miracle worker. Ten out of ten. Would absolutely trust him again. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sugar probably still doesn’t trust the vacuum, but that’s between her and her therapist. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ~Christine and David”
“They have been a great resource for caring for our pup for boarding and day care. Very nice people and very communicative. We feel super comfortable that they are taking the very best care of our dog.”
“I’m glad I found Nadya to take care of my dog. She kept me informed of how he was doing and bunch of cute pics and videos. I loved that he got to go on lots of walks and play time. sweet pet sitter 👌”
“Gracie came home and was happy eating and drinking her water. She mustve had a great time! Sohui sent pictures every day. Great place and perfect for little dogs tat need alot of attention. And Gracie was able to sleep in a bed!. I appreciate Sohui loving my dog so much while I was away.”
“Frankie enjoyed his stays at Angela’s and made fast friends with her pup! We appreciate her watching him on short notice and being flexible with pick ups and drop offs. Thanks for taking good care of our little guy!”
“Naomi and Vadim were great! All 3 of my pups got along with their dogs well and my male Yorkie loved playing with their kids. All 3 dogs were pooped when we got home! Naomi sent me regular updates and pics.. definitely will board with them again. Thank you guys!”
“Trina communicated promptly and gave updates of my dog’s stay with her. Perla loved playing with the resident dogs and was nice and worn out when she came home. I would use her again.”
“Our doggies love going to Leslie’s! We have used her for a second time and felt totally comfortable leaving them. She provided the cutest pictures of them and they were obviously either relaxed and having fun or sleeping peacefully.”
“Greg is a natural… he took great care of our 16 year old dog - lots of walks and extra attention. He was also super consistent about giving us updates with pictures and info. Glad we found him and won’t hesitate to call on him again. Thanks Greg!!!”
“Edith is really good with dogs. She sends picture of Miro and update every day which makes me at ease. She is like a second mommy to My Miro where Miro is already comfortable.”
“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.”
“We couldn't be happier with the care our dog, Shasta, received! Alexandra has watched Shasta multiple times, including a recent 10-day stay, and every experience has been fantastic. It's such a relief knowing she's in loving, dependable hands whenever we're away. We always receive updates and photos, and it's clear that Shasta is treated like part of the family. She comes home happy, relaxed, and well cared for every time. Alexandra's communication, reliability, and genuine love for animals give us complete peace of mind. We highly recommend Alexandra to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional dog sitter. We wouldn't hesitate to book with her again!”
“Nelly did a great job with Oscar. She is knowledgeable in her craft, and I was initially afraid that Oscar's issues would be too much for her. However, she went above and beyond in taking care of our fur baby. The key is to be honest about the issues your pet is facing. It has always been a struggle to find a good fit for Oscar, but this is the first time someone has looked after him and given me true peace of mind, knowing he would be in great hands, with love and care. Nelly responded on time and even accommodated our last-minute requests. Oscar returned home extremely happy and, surprisingly, more obedient than ever, as Nelly not only looked after him for five days but also trained him. To all the Lab owners who need an angel and a genius to care for their highly energetic babies, Nelly is the one for you. Thank you again, Nelly; you are a gem!”

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.
Tracy was such a wonderful sitter for our senior pup. We were worried about finding someone who would be able to take care of her senior needs and potentially deal with any issues if they came up, but Tracy was the perfect fit and we feel very lucky to have found her. Highly recommend!
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! 🐶❤️
Monique took wonderful care of Elio. It was my first time getting boarding services for Elio, while I went on vacation and I was at ease the entire time. We got updates about him and he always looked so happy and comfortable. I would highly recommend Monique to all!
As soon as I walked into Angela’s house i immediately felt connected! Her house is clean well organized, and feels like home! She has a beautiful backyard that is completely fenced and my Zeus loved basking in the sun out there! she (Angela) is well communicative very kind and has lots of charm! She tells me everything that’s going on and sends ongoing photos and videos whenever you ask! If I was late or early to picking or dropping off Zeus she was always kind about it and helped me with everything! She took care of Zeus like one of her own and I felt it from him! When I picked him up it was no fear no sadness no stress! It was like he was with family. He came back in perfect condition I truly trust Angela and definitely will be rebooking with her hundreds of times! This was my first time and definitely won’t be my last! Thank you Angela we appreciate you more then you know❤️❤️❤️❤️
Melissa was very nice and I was initially a little hesitant that she’s in an apartment because my dog is used to having a big yard but that quickly went away because they took him out for walks and to the park often, which he loved! She always sent pictures and videos and my dog always looked happy and tired in the best way. I know he enjoyed all the attention, especially from her children as well. I would definitely book with Melissa 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 ! Even if I book last min she never has a problem with it and is always super sweet and very hands on with blue so thank you so much again for always being there when blue and I need you !!
Cliff was wonderful with our dog. It was our first time using Rover and he made our worries subside by meeting him first and going over what their day would look like. Finn enjoyed many days at the park, river and playing with other dogs. Cliff sent messages and pictures through his 19 day stay. Do not hesitate to hire Cliff!
Sammy took amazing care of Harry while he stayed with her for three nights. She was kind, attentive, and made sure he felt comfortable and at home. I especially loved that she has dachshunds of her own, so she really understands the breed and their unique personalities and needs. That gave me extra confidence knowing Harry was in experienced hands. I also appreciated the updates while I was away, which gave me great peace of mind. Harry came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for, which says everything. I would absolutely trust Sammy to watch Harry again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter!
Jamie did a great job taking care of our Goldendoodle while we were away on vacation! She was very responsive with messages and sent a few pictures and updates while we were away. We were able to schedule a meet & greet before our trip which was great. Jamie has a beautiful home with an awesome backyard for the dogs to have fun in. We definitely trust Jamie to take care of Cooper again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Carmichael on Rover is $48.55 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,678 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 rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Carmichael sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Carmichael landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
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.
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.
