“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: I grew up with dogs since the age of 3 and, as an adult had dogs for the past 26 years. I’ve trained three puppies into respectable, loving adult dogs. And my last two dogs I trained as therapy dogs, who visited elder day programs & senior living facilities as part of their service. I work from home as a geriatric social worker and have the good fortune to set my own schedule, which allows for a lot of time for dog walks, trips to the beach & belly rubs. Exclusive access to our fenced in yard, walks in an upscale neighborhood & lots of belly rubs in our beautiful home will be granted. If appropriate, I live a short distance from the beach & beach play dates can be arranged. I have an 8 yr old golden doodle therapy dog, who will be your pup’s guide & playmate. I work as a geriatric social worker from home and make my own schedule so your dog will get loads of attention & the best of care. Sorry, no cats allowed as I’m allergic. With our 1 acre property w a surrounding fence, your dog can explore safely while I sit close. Many belly rub and neighborhood walks throughout the day will be incorporated. I have space for a crate if Clients want to bring one. I also love to snuggle with dogs and allow them on the furniture. If the days are hot I have a puppy pool, A/C & the beach is a short distance away.
“Cassandra was so amazing! Cheeto was so comfy at her home that he was able to nap after a long day out with my boyfriend and me. Very communicative and sweet and sent my baby boy home with a goodie bag and card. ❤️ 1000% would book with her again whenever we are back in Santa Barbara.”
“Lauren was so great to work with...she responded to the daycare request promptly and immediately jumped into asking lots of questions around Remys care. I knew he'd be in good hands. Thank you for the care Lauren...”
“Sophia was great! Very accommodating when we had a slight change regarding drop off time. Sent us pictures of Rosie enjoying a fun day at the beach. We could tell by the pictures she was having a blast! We hope we can use Sophia again in the future. Two thumbs up!! Thank you!”

About: I grew up with pets and now that I have a little one of my own, I feel it’s a great opportunity for my daughter to grow up with them as well. My sister has a ranch with 6 dogs, horses, pigs.... the whole farm. I help quit often. I’m pretty flexible. I’m currently a stay at home mom. I only have to pick up my my international students at 3pm Mon-Fri. Other then that we are out on runs or at the park, or enjoying our huge yard. I live on a half acre with a huge fenced backyard. I also live very close to the beach and bike path. I go for runs often. Your dog will be with me and my 3 year most of the day. My fiancé works a lot! I’m also a host mom to two international kids that go to Bishop High School. We would love to get a dog of our own. I think this is great way to get our feet wet
“Nancy has such a warm, sweet personality and you can tell she just adores dogs. I will happily book daycare and overnight boarding with her in the future - thanks for loving on my dog as much as I do!”
“I can’t begin to explain how grateful I am to have met Marty and Lynn. They were so accommodating and even flexible with some last-minute changes. My boy, Todd, was in absolute paradise in their lush backyard. They are so generous to open it up for daycare. I love seeing photos throughout the day of Todd’s relaxing day in their special care. We booked 2 dog sitting days, back to back and the second day when I dropped Todd off he was PULLING so excited to be back! I wish I lived closer and could have Todd see them all the time! They are fabulous dog people and I can’t wait for the next time we are in Santa Barbara.”
“We were very happy with Hersh and his care for our small dog Sophie. Sophie was calm and relaxed when we picker her up unlike a previous stay at a kennel for small dogs. Hersh sent us a picture of Sophie relaxing on the couch and I could tell she was enjoying herself and was content. Good job. We would definitely use Hersh again if we are traveling in the area.”

“Words cannot express how wonderful Richard and Mystique are and the loving care they provide for our high energy puppy. They treat him like family, and he gives them hugs and kisses during daycare drop off. They also take the time to give our puppy leash training on walks. Absolutely recommend Richard and Mystique.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Carpinteria is $56 per day as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $8 and $70 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 381 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.
As of November 2026, there are 381 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of CA. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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 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 Meet & Greet.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 381 sitters in Carpinteria, 84% 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
