“Ashley was amazing. My dog, Nipsey, had a great time at her house. After the initial meet and greet, my worries all left as I could tell she would be the perfect person for the job. She was super attentive and followed all directions. She provided medications as needed but most importantly she gave him tons of love. I highly recommend Ashley if you're looking for a trustworthy person with a great heart and love for animals.”
“Jenny was the absolute best!! We were initially a little nervous about booking through Rover and leaving our dog Huey with a “stranger”, but after meeting Jenny in person, we immediately felt so much more at ease. Huey instantly gravitated toward her and didn’t even look back when we dropped him off! She sent us the most adorable photos every day, which made our trip so much more enjoyable because we could relax and truly enjoy our time away without worrying about Huey. She administered his medication on time and stuck to his usual care routine. It was clear that he was in wonderful hands and received so much love, attention, and care while we were away. She even sent him home with the sweetest treat bag and goodies! We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. It felt like leaving him with family we could trust. We’re so grateful to have found Jenny and will absolutely be booking with her again for future trips. Highly, highly recommend!!”
“I can't say enough great things about Rebecca and Donald! They helped out in an emergency where I was already out of town and blessed our pup with so much love and care. Mutilple updates daily and made him feel right at home and helped put me at ease knowing he was in such good and loving hands. I would happily book them anytime in the future, absolute 10/10 people ❤️”
“Ivette was vey welcoming and kind to my little Charly. She had no issues tending to Charly meal routine aswell as his exercise needs. Charly was very happy when picking him up, which is always a very good sign that he had a good stay. Thank you and would 10/10 recommend to everyone”
“Martha is such a sweetheart! She genuinely cares and takes her responsibility seriously. She took care of our 2-month-old kitten, and it was our first time having a cat sitter. She was so patient, caring, and wonderful with cat. Her communication was excellent, and she kept us updated with pictures and messages. I truly appreciate how much she cared for our little kitten. I highly recommend her!”
“I always leave my frenchie Elsa with Chieko and she has a blast every time! She loves coming here and playing with the other doggies. She’s always a happy girl. Def recommend!”
“She and her family was super nice and good care to my dog. She sent Text messages everyday what my pup done today. That helped a lot for my family to understanding she was enjoyed and staying safely.”
“Amazing experience! She took such great care of my dog and kept me updated with photos throughout the stay. I could tell my pup was happy and comfortable. Definitely would book again!”
“Arroyan a was great with our chihuahua. I know our dog can be skittish and a little nervous around new people, but Arriyanna handled her like a pro from the start. This made me feel comfortable knowing that I was leaving her with someone who was going to take good care of her. She was flexible and the added bonus was when I picked her (Kalee) up she said she had been a good girl and was welcomed back anytime. This made my heart happy.”
“Tbh she makes me feel like I’m with my dog just without the responsibilities. She takes great care of him as if he is her own. Can’t express how grateful we are to have found her. Both the puppy and us have a great experience every single time!!!! Totally recommend her hands down.”
About: I have been a dog owner all my life from a little Maltese to a pitbull. Along with cats, rodents, and fish. I am willing to take care of anyone! I’ve been walking dogs for about three years outside of Rover but am now joining this app for new opportunities. Hope to meet you and your pet soon! I am currently a part-time worker, so I have plenty of flexibility and time to give your pet lots of attention, playtime, and care! I have a big house with empty rooms and a backyard for your pet to explore. I am also open to taking your dog to the dog park or beach!
“Stephanie was great! She sent several photo updates throughout Luka’s stay, which I really appreciated. Luka had a great time, and I felt he was well taken care of. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Edwin and Jenn are amazing! So responsive and proactive with updates about how Moxi was doing throughout her stay. They have 2 little doggos that are friendly and good companions for Moxi while we’re out of town. I would definitely recommend Edwin and Jenn, and in fact I’ve already booked them again for another stay!”
“Gina is great! She has an amazing home with a wonderful backyard that made Delanie feel like she was at summer camp. Delanie even seemed a little bummed when we came to pick her up lol. We booked our next stay with her only a few hours after pick up.”
“Angela is wonderful with our pets. We call her The Dog Whisperer. 😃 She's amazing with our Toffee Doggie and with the drop ins for our kitties. If you want your pet to be loved while you're away look no further. She's the absolute best! Reggie”
“It was our first time using Rover and Karina was very accommodating and reliable. She sent photos which reassured us that our two fur babies were in good hands. Definitely will continue to book with Karina!”

Alejandro was amazing! Super responsive, sent me a ton of pictures and kept me updated throughout the whole trip. Bucky absolutely loved being there and I hope he is available every time we go out of town because it was the best experience we’ve had with a dog sitter. Highly recommend!
We had a wonderful experience with Elaine and here family! She took great care of Luna and made sure she felt comfortable and happy throughout her stay. We really appreciated the photos and updates, and it was so nice to see Luna having so much fun with the her dogs💛🐶 Elaine was very kind, caring, and attentive. It gave us peace of mind knowing Luna was in good hands. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Luna! We would definitely recommend Elaine !😊
Barbara and her family took wonderful care of our dog, and our dog got along perfectly with their dog, Snowflake! We felt completely at ease knowing our pup was in such a loving and attentive home. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and would rebook in a heartbeat!
Our pup is young & full of energy, and Tatiana did a wonderful job with her. Her & her kids took excellent care of her, always updated us with pics & videos, and took the time to understand how she best operates to make her feel comfortable. Will definitely be staying with her in the future!
Alice took such wonderful care of our boy! He had an absolute blast playing with the other dogs, and Alice and her family were so sweet, loving, and patient with him the entire time. Finding a dog sitter who is both truly reliable and an excellent communicator is such a relief. While we were away, she kept us updated with plenty of photos and videos of our pup living his best life. We would rebook with her in a heartbeat!
Perla was amazing! Her communication and updates were spot on. She knew I was sad having to leave my dog, and she compensated with her pictures and messages. When I picked up my dog he didn’t even want to leave her! Which totally is heartwarming knowing he loved her that much. She also helped me recognize how I can help him with leash walking and socializing. I would definitely use Perla again.
Ronald was so friendly and accommodating. Even when I couldn't contact Ronald he still took very good care of the dogs and placed their pictures on Rover. I was able to go see that the dogs were well cared for and happy. I was able to really relax and enjoy my vacation.
Nathaniel did an amazing job taking care of Dino and Frank while we were on vacation for a week. Since we were traveling out of the country, it was especially important to have someone dependable and responsive, and Nathaniel was both. He was very accommodating and available whenever needed. He kept us updated throughout the week and frequently sent photos of our guys, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We will definitely use Nathaniel again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring to look after their pets. Thanks again, Nathaniel, for taking such great care of Dino and Frank!! 🐾❤️
Frida was absolutely amazing and the most patient with our spirited dog. He hasn’t had much boarding experience so it was comforting to have such a great experience with Frida. She updated us throughout the stay with progress and pics . It was clear he was well loved and taken care of while we were gone!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Carson is $61 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $85 per night. 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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Carson can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Carson 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 Carson.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Carson. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Carson 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
