“When we arrived to drop of Bubba, Deandra invited us inside, I liked that. She kept us updated about how he was doing during the day. I would definitely contact Deandra again.”
“Alexandra and Billy were wonderful! We felt completely secure leaving our Dobie with them. They made him feel right at home and took him on fun walks and adventures. I would highly recommend Alexandra and Billy to anyone looking for a safe and reliable place where their fur baby will be loved and very well cared for. We look forward to reaching out to them again when we’re back in the area! 🐾”
About: Hello There! My little family and myself are pet lovers! 🥰 We have two dogs, two cats and a bearded dragon. Our home has always been a bit of a revolving door for furry friends. I have been dog walking and pet sitting locally for the past 17yrs and have plenty of references. I am out and about most mornings doing dog walks, typically 9/930-12ish and available again most afternoon or evenings depending on what you need. I work for an afterschool program during the school year so my schedule tends to open up a bit more during the summer. We have a high, fully fenced in back yard w plenty of shade. I tend to take boarded pups w me on my walks if the temperament works. We live in a very quiet little corner in Carpinteria surrounded by parks and bike trails.
“Nina and her family were wonderfully sweet, attentive and caring with my high energy pup. He always came back happy and excited when I would pick him up. I also enjoyed how he they took him on some family days and sent me pics! He looked extremely happy and well cared for!”
“Jenni provides excellent communication and a really calm, loving environment for dog daycare. She takes just one dog at a time. She has a very sweet, mellow dog of her own. In addition to walks, there is a sunny and fenced in courtyard. The location is easy to get to.”
“My dog Rubio had an excellent time with Jayme. They went to the park for two hours during Ru's visit and had some chill out/nap time. Jayme is so sweet and provided me with a very thorough update on the visit. I would not hesitate to book with her again.”
“Katherine was courteous, kind, and made sure to tailor her care to Harry’s needs. I greatly appreciated the text and picture updates, as he is special needs and an older pup. She was phenomenal and we will definitely be back!”
About: I love dogs and feel that dogs are a part of our family. I have a small mixed breed (rescue) dog of my own. I am home most weekdays and some weekends. I have extensive experience with dogs of all types and ages. Having grown up with and owned my own dogs I have used my experience to volunteer with a local rescue, saving lives one pup at a time. In the last year I have been the "foster mom" to 5 rescue Dogs (so far!) Typically they are with me 4-6 weeks while we work to find them their forever home. I live downtown Carpinteria near beach and parks. My house is three bedroom two bathrooms with a fenced in patio area. My dog loves to lay out there on her bed in the sunshine. I can help with puppy training and have a lot of experience with off leash training. I look forward to meeting your dog! Walk times available 8 am until 9 pm Flexible eating times.

About: Hello! We are a family of 4 (our girl is 10 and our boy is 14) that loves dogs!! We also have allergies so only hypoallergenic dogs please if you are booking for boarding or day care. We have one dog, and Aussie doodle, that is very social and loves having friends over! :) Dogs must be good with children, other dogs and have good manners. :) We have a nice big fenced yard for lots of outdoor play, a great neighborhood for walks, and we are also very close to the beach and mountains if you have an active dog that likes to get out and about. We can’t wait to love your sweet dog as our own and shower it with love and attention! We have flexible working-from-home schedules. Our kids are in a school schedule with extra time in mornings, evenings and weekends. We would love to welcome your dog as our own! We have a fenced yard. As long as the dog is hypoallergenic, we can have the dog in our home. We love snuggling and playing!
About: I love all animals. Big or small, anxious or confident. I have dog sat for 6 years and have had cats of my own my whole life. I currently do not have any of my own pets, so I am excited to spend time with animals keeping your pets company. I am an active person who runs, walks and hikes so I will give your animal the exercise they need. I also have watched elderly dogs with specific medication needs, so can cater to the needs of older animals. I am empathetic and a caretaker, so will treat your animal and home kindly and with care. It will also be a treat for me to spend time with your lovely animals and get out for some exercise with them. I WFH so I have a great routine for pet care. I also love to walk and exercise outside. Your pet will get great exercise and be happy. I have a small fenced yard that I let pets run around in while I’m working and occupied. I let pets on my furniture and in my bed. In clients home, I am clean and respectful.
About: Love animals, have grown up with dogs all my life. Simple and calm. Take direction well. Wonderful company for your four legged family member.I love night walks so if you’re out late and need someone to walk Fido, I’m ya gal. I can provide plenty of love and affection. Belly rubs, park runs, or just chilling out for a bit. Let’s see, what else...can take your dogs to the beach, on a hike, through the town, etc. Send me a message and let’s see if it works out! I just moved here, so I don’t have a formal job quite yet. I go to school three days out of the week, but outside of that I am pretty free. In sight, in mind. I will make it a point to be observant and attentive in caring to your pup and/or any other animal you have.
About: I have worked at a cat boarding facility for the better part of five years. I have many pets and experience with the following; medicine administration, injecting insulin, monitoring the cats’ health and appetite, cleaning, and making sure each and every cat got the adequate attention they needed. In addition to this I have also pet sat for dogs and cats for years. Most of customers were regulars and I got to get to know each animal very well. I have also had both a dog and a cat my whole life, so I know what it is like to not only constantly care for a pet, but also love and worry about them, which is why I take such pride in ensuring my customers have complete peace knowing I will care for their pets! I am a college student and am available most afternoons, but have more freedoms Tuesdays, Thursdays, and the weekends. My schedule can be very flexible though. My main concern in caring for pets is their health and safety. I will always make sure they are doing well and have all the care they need in that aspect. I also will make sure they are happy and receiving the attention from me they need. I will always follow any and all instructions left on caring for pets.
“Isabelle was a great sitter for Eleanor! My boyfriend and I were down in Santa Barbara for a long weekend, and decided last minute to look for day care for our golden so that we could spend a day exploring around. Isabelle was super responsive, fairly priced, met us early AM for drop off, and was flexible on return time! Ellen had a blast, and came home tired!”
“Bradley and Carolyn were fantastic sitters for Rocky. They kept him super active and entertained all three days of daycare, and Rocky came home very happy and tired each evening. Their location was super convenient for travelers staying or visiting in downtown Santa Barbara. Will definitely use again!”
“I can't recommend Sandy enough. We were in a bind needing a last-minute sitter, and she was incredibly responsive and flexible. She made the logistics simple. My fiancé had no trouble at all coordinating drop-off and pick-up. While we were away, she sent photo updates that showed our dog relaxed and happy. When we picked him up, he was clearly well-cared for and in great spirits. Sandy truly saved the day. Thank you!”
“Karestin was so great with my 2 labs! She spent much of the day with them, emailed me photos, wore them down with great exercise at the beach, and truly enjoyed their company! We are very thankful for her kind, compassionate, understanding ways. She has great dog sense and was very receptive to our dogs certain idiosyncrasies. They truly had a blast with her!”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Carpinteria
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Carpinteria on Rover is $55.5 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 380 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Carpinteria. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Carpinteria 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.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 380 sitters in Carpinteria, 88% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
