“Can't believe I haven't reviewed Julie's services yet! We've been taking our corgi to her for daycare for several months now and I can tell he is taken care of and loved. He's a happy boy when he comes home. Although some days he doesn't want to leave!”

About: Mom, animal-lover, and detail-oriented caregiver offering safe, loving pet care. Your pets are treated like family and given care. I work from home, so the animals will not be alone. Please note I have a Kindergartener so animals *must* be kid friendly. No aggressive breeds (even if a mix), or history of biting. your pet will have plenty of attention throughout the day—not long stretches alone. I also have a kindergartner who absolutely loves animals and enjoys having a gentle buddy to play with. We take daily walks to break up our day, so your pet will get regular movement, fresh air, and lots of love in between. Pets in my care are treated like part of the family. We have a large, fully fenced backyard perfect for safe outdoor play, exploring, and burning off energy. Since I work from home, pets get plenty of love, attention, and supervision throughout the day—plus lots of playtime, cuddles, and regular breaks to keep them happy and engaged. 🐾
“Sammy was great! Took my boy at the last minute and was so good with him, and as an owner of an Akita, she did so well and put us at ease while we enjoyed our music festival. Would highly recommend her and if we are back in Sacramento will definitely reach out to her again”

“We had a fantastic experience with Alexis and her family. Bonnie loved spending the day playing with the kids and other dogs. Communication with Alexis was also great - we’d happily book again!”

“Johnna took such great care of Luna. I felt completely comfortable knowing she was in good hands. We received pictures and updates that kept us feeling confident in her care. Thank you Johnna!”

About: Having been through some pretty big life changes recently, I’m reminded to slow down and focus on things that make me happy. One thing that makes me happy is dogs. I’ve also wanted to get out and take more walks, so what better way to enjoy both than dog walking. I’ve had pets of all types all my life, but dogs are hands down my favorite. I currently have two of my own and occasionally watch my friends’ dogs. A friend of mine uses Rover, and I’ve been a pet sitter since I was a teen, so I thought I’d give it a try. I have taken a few training classes when my dog was a puppy and I have some experience with special needs (seniors, blindness, low mobility, and seizures). I work full time, but telework three days a week. For midday visits and dog walks, someone close to home would be best to ensure availability. We can always discuss evening visits or walks as well. For boarding, unless discussed and scheduled prior, weekends would best to ensure I can be home with your fur babe. I treat visiting pups like my own. They’re allowed on my furniture and in my bed. I have multiple crates of various sizes if a crate is needed. My yard is fenced, but dogs aren’t typically left unattended in the yard. I have seven free range chickens in my yard, so their safety is also a concern for me. I’m also open to discussion if your dogs’ needs don’t align with my typical routine; I don’t mind changing things up if it’s something I can accommodate.
“Our 1-year-old wheaten terrier enjoyed his time with Monica. He came home happy and ready to rest after a day of playing. Monica kept us updated on Chewys progress during the day and communicated well with us. I would definitely recommend Monica to care for your pup!”

About: I have been caring for pets for about 10 years. I treat every pet like children after all they are family. I am flexible and reliable. I have been teaching for over 14 years now. I never leave guests home alone. While I’m at work, my 19-year-old son loves hanging out with our guests. I am a kind and caring person. My home is safe and secure for my guests. Please let me know if you have any questions. I work part time and I’m off all summer. Im home most of the time. No pet will be left unattended for more than two hours. I have a fenced yard that is secure and safe. I live in a beautiful neighborhood for nice walks. I have a large front yard.
About: I have been known as an animal whisperer because I am good with animals. For example, my friend's pet macaw hates people but became fond of me over time, I'm one of the only few people that she's fine with. I always seem to make animals calm and feel safe. Working with animals makes me feel good. Whenever my grandma needs someone to take care of her dog, she knows she can always rely on me; I brush her, feed her, bathe her and even trim her feet. Keep in mind for new clients: I would prefer at least a week notice so we can have a meet and greet beforehand if you can help it with your schedule. I'm currently working part-time which gives me plenty of time to take care of any animal/animals you may have! I'm most available on weekends, but also if needed, I can stay overnight. On weekdays, currently, I'm available most of the time anytime on Monday-Friday or overnight, just text me and ask me. At home, I used to have two dogs. I feed them in the morning, walk them, play with them, clean after them, and give them love. With others' pets, I would treat them as if they were my pets; however, I make sure that any door or window is secured so they can't escape out of the house and make sure they're comfortable.
About: Ive taken care of/had animals my entire life! I’ve had over 5 dogs throughout my life, as well as 4 cats. I most recently rescued a cat named Macey, who I adore. I fostered her (like I also do for other animals when I have the opportunity), and took care of her until she was adopted out by a loving family. I also fostered a precious little pup named Prince, who recently was adopted by his forever home as well. I love taking care of them, playing with them, and getting to know their personalities. You can trust your furry son or daughter in my hands! :) I’m currently working from home as an insurance agent. My schedule is wide open, and I’m available for walking, daycare and boarding! I offer some house sitting if it’s local :) Mostly during the week, but also some weekends. I live on a small property, in a unit, so unfortunately there is not a personal yard of my own. But just a block away is a huge park that I love to take pups to run around, and stretch their legs frequently throughout the day. My neighborhood is perfect for long walks, full of people who are pet friendly as well. In my home, your pup will be free to lounge around on my furniture, bed and floor and play whereever their heart desires. I do require each pet to have a crate left with them in case of emergencies. Your furry baby will get lots of love from me during his/her stay. I provide snacks and water through the day! Your pet must be potty trained, and will have custom potty breaks to each little ones needs :) I currently work from home, and spend almost all of my days accompanied by my little furry friends. Animals are a huge passion of mine, and they take priority in my life. I care for each pet I come across, with respect and love. I know that every pet is someone's child...and I would treat them exactly as I would treat my own kids. You can trust them in my care.
“We have used Susan multiple times for daycare and she is wonderful!! She is a warm and kind person and truly loves dogs. I feel very comfortable leaving Maya with her, knowing Maya will be safe and well taken care of.”

About: Hi, I’m Shauna, and I’m a huuuge animal lover! 🐾 I’ve been working with animals from a very young age, and my love for them eventually led me to become a veterinary technician. Animals have always been my passion, and I truly treat every animal I meet as if they were my own. I also work in the animal rescue world, which has been incredibly fulfilling and has given me the opportunity to help animals in need find the loving homes they deserve. Caring for animals isn’t just a job for me—it’s something I genuinely love and feel very fortunate to do. ❤️ I currently work from home and have an extremely flexible schedule! I’m available most days and times and can fit it into my schedule as needed! I do have a one year old that does somewhat dictate my schedule though haha. Just like the animals I foster, I treat every animal like they’re my own! I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room to play, and a few spare bedrooms for crating & alone time if needed.
“Let me tell you.. Ariana is amazing. So! This was my first time using this type of service. So I was a little concerned about leaving my puppy with a stranger.. but I was recommended by a reliable source so I went with it. After messaging a few sitters… and confirm possible dates .. I noticed none of the sitters asked me any questions about my pup, myself or told me anything about themselves… Ariana was the only person who showed a genuine interest in making sure I felt my pup was in the right hands. She’s amazing and I would only book with her! Period.”

“Daria is Juneau’s favorite! She is super sweet and treats my dog with so much happiness and kindness. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter in a pinch! Thank you!”

“I had a last minute schedule change and reached out to Lucy on a day’s notice. I knew I made the right choice when Lucy arranged a call to discuss any needs my dog might have. Lucy was incredibly accommodating and my pup came home happy and tired. 100% would book again.”

About: Your pet’s new favorite person! I’m a reliable, gentle, and patient sitter who treats every fur baby like family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or overnight care, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I communicate clearly, send updates, and keep your home just the way you left it. You can relax knowing your pet is in caring, responsible hands. Caring for pets fits seamlessly into my daily life. I’m available 7 days a week and make sure each pet gets individualized attention, play, exercise, and affection. I treat every pet as if they were my own, keep their routine consistent and stress-free. I follow the pet’s normal routine as the owner requests. In the home, I make sure pets have fresh food and water, clean litter or potty breaks, playtime, and calm companionship. I always respect the home, keep spaces tidy, and send daily updates so the owner feels connected and confident.
About: I have had a variety of animals and I am very experienced with a lot especially dogs. I absolutely love dogs, would consider myself a dog person but ended up with 3 cats instead lol. Meeting and bonding with new animals and getting to observe exactly how different each one is, is absolutely a blessing in disguise. As well as being able to take some stress off the shoulders of a fellow pet owner genuinely makes my day. Im becoming a sahm here shortly and will have plenty of time at home as well as have been in the pet sitting business for quite some time. Would prefer to stay home help out and have some of my own income! Unfortunately all of my pups have passed away and currently just mama to three cats. Whatever needed for any pet is more than doable. For my cats we wake up we do breakfast and they sun bathe in their catio. Bug me every second they can whether it's for treats brushes or simple conversation lol. I've always gone beyond to make sure my pets are happy and healthy. Most of the time I put their health before mine. I've dog sat before and I've never left any body disappointed or anxious or nervous. I understand the stress and the worry I tend to treat my animals like they came out of my womb and if you take the chance on me youll see i treat all fur babies the same. All animals get all the love they could ever ask for when I'm around.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Carmichael
Serena was Fantastic! Posted lots of photos and was very impressed with her communication. Sadie just loved Serena and Wes. Before we got there she was super excited! I can always tell Sadie been good when she’s well behaved after. Serena and Wes have a perfect back yard for are dog who has special needs and past trauma so finding the right fit is a major factor. Serena checked all the boxes during the meet and greet. Key words for Serena professional, calm, organized, understanding, good listener, communication skills.

Our dog Baxter hasn’t been to doggy day care for a couple of years, so he had extra anxiety on top of his normal separation anxiety. Cliff allowed us to meet up the day prior to ensure that Baxter would be comfortable in the environment, which included a cat. The visit was a success. Cliff had a room dedicated to the animals and a beautiful backyard with vibrant green grass, which Baxter loved. Cliff was very friendly and seemed like a natural with dogs. This made us feel good about leaving Baxter with him for doggy day care the next day. When we dropped Baxter off, he acted shy at first, hesitant to approach and sticking close to us, but he looked very happy at pick-up, wagging his tail and greeting us with excitement. Cliff sent a photo and update about Baxter's visit. Baxter usually needs several visits to trust new people. Cliff patiently gave him space as he introduced and welcomed him to the pack, making the experience feel calm and positive for Baxter. We highly recommend Cliff, and will be using his services in the future.

Thank you sooo much! I’m currently over seas and Coryn helped me out big time picking up Tito and dropping him off for all day play. He got to hang out with her play with doggies and go back home. My family forgot to leave out his food and Coryn totally stepped up, went into my fridge and fed Tito while my family was out working and getting home late. I can always rely on Coryn when ever I travel away for a day or if I’m over seas. 🙏🙏

The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Carmichael is $44 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $67 per day. 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.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Carmichael commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.

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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
