“Serena took exceptional care of Huxley during our weekend away, with amazing communication. Huxley has his quirks and can be anxious; Serena took note of all of this and took extra care of him. She provided updates regularly, was super responsive and Huxley had a weekend of fun and care when we left him. Thanks!”
“Absolutely the best! My dog probably loves being at Alexis's more than his own home :/. She was amazing with last minute changes and I can't say enough positive things. A+!”
“Our boy Shida really liked his stay he had plenty of new doggie friends to play with. We were so relieved that we found a place to take care of our boy. When we came home he was so glad to see us but when he got home he was out like a light. I know he had a great time because he slept for a full day he was so tired from running with his new doggie friends he met. Thank you so much for watching our boy”
“As a sitter myself, I really value someone who’s communicative, kind, and understanding, and Johnna is all of that and more. My dog is a little eccentric, and she was incredibly patient and attentive in learning her quirks, making sure her needs were met, and keeping us updated along the way. We wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again and truly appreciate her so much.”
“Tracy was amazing with Holly, and Holly came back home so happy after her visit there. Tracy gave Holly her meds as needed, lots of attention and pets. I would definitely leave Holly with her again.”
“Angela gave daily updates and was quick to respond to messages, which put me at ease when Bruce stayed with her and Jazzy for a week. I saw videos of him running happily outside and cuddling up next to her so I know he felt comfortable there!”
“Doh is excellent with the pups. She’s patient and kind and provided many pics and updates throughout my vacation. My dog seemed to really like her and my family did as well! Highly recommend!”
“Nancy was an outstanding dog sitter for Zoey! From the moment I booked with her, she was incredibly communicative and made the entire process easy and stress free. Throughout Zoey’s stay, Nancy sent frequent updates, photos, and messages so I always knew how she was doing. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Zoey was in such caring and capable hands. I could tell Nancy genuinely cared about her and treated her like one her own. I would absolutely book with Nancy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate dog sitter.”
“Ann and her husband are AMAZING! Left my extremely attached Doberman for the first time ever and we both were feeling very anxious but they made the whole process as stress- free as possible! My boy was so happy and well taken care of. I definitely recommend them and will continue to book with them!”
“Adrienne was amazing! She did such a good job with our dog and was also available in a last minute pinch that really saved us. She took our dog on walks and sent us adorable videos, and she was a breeze to communicate with throughout the process. This was our first time using Rover so we were a little bit nervous but it was an excellent experience and we definitely will have Adrienne dog sit for us again in the future.”
“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!”
“Ingrid and Oscar did a fantastic job caring for our Husky. They were so nice and know dogs so well. Was extremely comforting to leave our dog with them. Great updates throughout the stay. Our Husky Callie loved the multiple walks a day!! Amazing dog sitters!”
“Tanner enjoyed his time with Derek & Leslie! They were communicating with us throughout his stay, sending us pictures and updating us on how he was doing. He is an active dog and it seemed that he was able to play fetch with every member of their family. Tanner was in good hands and we will be utilizing their services again if we are in need of boarding care for our dog.”
“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!”
About: Hi, I'm Anna! I am a passionate, highly trained animal lover dedicated to giving your pet the safest and most fun experience possible. Since March, I have been an active volunteer with the Sacramento SPCA, where I have completed intensive online courses and hands-on, in-person training in canine behavior, body language, and socialization. I am fully certified to handle and walk the shelter's Green and Orange color-coded dogs. Because of my training and reliability, the SPCA also trusts me with their Foster Furlough program for their highest-need Pink color-coded dogs. This means I regularly take these advanced-level dogs out of the shelter environment for day trips and overnight stays in my home to give them a break. Whether your dog needs a high-energy walk, structured socialization, or just an attentive and loving overnight companion, I know exactly how to read their body language and keep them safe in real-world situations. I have a very flexible part-time schedule, my own reliable vehicle for check-ins, and a deep commitment to following your exact house rules and routines. I can't wait to meet your furry family member! I don’t work so I’m home pretty much all time unless I’m running errands. I’m available Tuesday-sat to come and help out with your babies!! I have a fenced yard but always prefer to watch them while there going potty or playing! I’d also be able to crate them if needed:)

“Madeline was incredibly flexible and completely professional for our dog. Her communication was great, we received plenty of updates. I highly recommend booking with her!”
“Coryn was an amazing host! We had to leave our sweet dog while away for 7 days and it couldn’t have gone any more perfect. She was on top of communication and keeping us updated with pictures. Leia had a blast, well taken care of and enough space available for Leia to be comfortable.”
“Erin was the best! She took great care of our dog. She was always super responsive and gave daily updates with pictures. Would for sure let her watch our dog again!”
“We had a fantastic experience with Martha as our dog sitter! She was incredibly flexible with the booking process, which made everything so easy and stress-free. Throughout our time away, she sent regular updates and photos of our puppy, which we really appreciated. Martha also took him on walks and gave him lots of attention and care. He came home happy and relaxed. We could tell she truly loves animals. Would I recommend her to others? Absolutely, without hesitation!”

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!
Melissa and her kids were really great with my dog, Kyro! Kyro tends to get very anxious when with new people and environments, but Melissa and the kids made him feel very comfortable. We got lots of updates about him while on vacation and were very happy with the attention and love he got while we were away. Will definitely be bringing Kyro back next time!
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!
Ann was wonderful! Our pets were welcomed into her home and taken such great care of! She and her husband are very kind and warm and knowledgeable about dogs. The dogs seem happy to be home but very unstressed after a 10 day stay. We already have our next visit booked!
Alison is a wonderful pet sitter. My two dogs were boarded in their home over Memorial Day weekend and they were very happy. From consistent photo updates to making sure they got plenty of exercise, potty breaks, and love, my dogs were treated like royalty. The backyard and house are super safe and perfect for dogs. Communication was excellent throughout. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a safe and cozy home for their pets.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Carmichael on Rover is $46 per night (as of August 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 August 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.
