“Ronald was an excellent sitter for my baby Casper. He did such a wonderful job. I could see Casper enjoyed being there. It became his second home for those 3 days honestly. I'm so grateful to have found such a great sitter. Thank you Ronald ?”
“The best! Patricia is very communicative and was able to accommodate to my early morning drop off. Gnocchi always came back happy, sleepy, and excited to return. Her doggo Milo is also super sweet and both got along great!”
“B’ha was cared for while meeting new furry friends. I received (and adored) pictures of her walking and playing through all her stages of arrival, hesitation, acceptance and play. I recommend Alice as a loving doggy person.”
“Thank you so much! She is BEST sitter for us. She sent many photos for us. So We could know how our fur baby were doing. My dog had a very relaxing stay and is very good condition the next day. We'll definitely request again next time.”

“Kristina was fantastic. Throughout the entire process, Kristina was a great communicator. She sent me lots of pictures and updates on how my baby was doing. Knowing that Gizmo was in good hands while I was at an event was comforting. Kristina was also very attentive to my Gizmo's needs and made sure that he got plenty of exercise. I highly recommend Kristina to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. Thanks, Kristina, for taking such great care of Gizmo!”
About: I have taken care of a variety of animals since I was a young kid and have had a dog virtually my entire life, sometimes a few dogs at once and many cats too. I have been a fish, dog, and cat parent for about thirty years or more of my adult life and ongoing. Recently completed a twelve-week obedience training course with our German Shepherd. Plenty of work to do. We also have done pet sitting for friends, as they have also done for us over the many years. We have cared for many a senior dog or cat, as they have been ours. We have always had and cared for animals through their entire life cycle. Before Rover dog care and dog walking of other peoples pets, aside from friends pets was not something we had done as a business, but taking care of animals, especially dogs is an activity I have been doing my entire life, every day. We walk our own dog a couple of times daily. I have owned and cared for many dogs. I currently own a two year old White German Shepherd, which is very socialized. He is a silly one. I have some experience in training, in as much as myself and my GSD went through twelve weeks of obedience classes through PetSmart to help get him setup for success. My primary business is in IT. I work from home almost every day. I have an independent IT consulting company, working for myself since 2003, to date. A very flexible schedule. However, the business has been slow and I am looking for something to supplement my income. Another IT job would likely be treated as a conflict, and I already do that work anyway. This type of gig seems perfect, flexible schedule and doing something I have always wanted to do. Right now, I have the time. We will discuss shifts; I may be good to help during a variety of times. I love dogs, all animals really. We are very willing to sit for some dogs in our own home or stop in to check on, walk and feed them, etc. I have a neighbor that does the same thing as a “side hustle” (for Rover) and they love it. When I am out walking my dog, I often run into them walking their dog tenants that they are sitting while owners are away. I have lived in the Southbay since 1988 and love it here. I live in a two-story house on the edge of old Torrance and Harbor City. I look forward to our future contact and making some new furry friends. Thanks so much for your consideration. I have a fenced yard and one dog, a white German Shepherd that is still enjoying late stage puppy hood :-) at two years old. Loves his toys, well socialized and really loves playing with other dogs. He is good company for another dog and someday soon we may be getting another, so he always has a friend. Right now we have just one. We also have one Maine Coon cat (16yr), that generally stays out of site around new dogs. Our one cat has been living with dogs most of his life. We will create separation of animals if it is necessary. If you provide it and it is needed, we will crate your dog, otherwise we are happy to let them always be part of the home while staying with us. The home is safe and secure with plenty of space inside and outside. We are in an enclosed subdivision with safe residential streets for walks. We have dedicated space where our dog and cat eat separately, we can also set up feeding so your pet can eat alone if necessary. We can adjust access to food, so nobody (including our dog) has any issues. Dog walking is done regularly for our GSD and we are happy to take your pet along to explore the neighborhood.
“Giovanna had the magic touch with our boy & sent lots of pictures to keep us updated throughout the day. Rothko tends to stress when left alone with others but he was comfy enough with her to even take a nap! He never naps outside of home so this was huge. Thanks Giovanna for taking such good care of our boy. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ & Rothko-approved!”
About: My mom and I had a loveable and adorable black pomeranian. I helped with potty training him from when he was a puppy. I thought him tricks, walked him, helped give him his medicine, groomed him, feed him & gave him water, and mostly loved him. Dogs are great company and are so loveable. I helped my ex with his tea cup yorkie. I feed him, gave him water, bathed him, cleaned up his pee pee pad, helped with giving him his medicine and I enjoyed his company very much. Dogs are not only our pets but a member of our families and can be at times like our little one. I miss laying down with my dog and my ex's dog also. Currently, right now I'm looking for a full-time or part-time job. So at the time being I have plenty of time to play, walk, feed & be your fur baby. I am available to board him/or her on the weekdays & weekends. I would always take out your pup with his/her harness or leash. I stay in a quiet neighborhood and I will always make sure he/she has food & water as well love.
About: There is always someone home, so even if I'm out, your dog will always have someone around. We're naturals at communicating with animals, which helps when a dog is nervous & unsure. This includes verbal communication & body language. We have decades of experience with animals, given thousands of dog walks & find dogs to be very therapeutic. We have a yard for exercise & play. If your dog(s) don't get along with my pets, there's plenty of room to keep them separate. We often have other other dogs around, such as our new housemate's dog, and those of friends and family who hang out here. Your dog will be around other dogs, and will not be bored. We require meet and greets to make sure your dog will get along, not just with our dog(s) but with any others who might come in for daycare and play dates. Dogs are our life. We're always taking care of an animal in some way. In addition to exercising & boarding, we also handle vet visits. Our home is on a quiet cul de sac with lots of trees. We have a fenced yard, extra rooms, & a large vehicle for your pet's comfort.
About: I provide pet care services in your area, specializing in dogs of all sizes. With extensive experience in walking, administering medication, and feeding them. I ensure your pets are well taken care of. I’m also happy to travel long distances to pick up and drop off your furry friends! I am currently available to spend most of the time with your fur babies and give them all the attention, care and love they need! I have a fenced yard and I can always take them outside and play with them, feed them, groom them, and give them lots of love! They can always come inside with me to relax.
“Absolutely amazing. She was so good with my husky girl. Nala was exhausted when I picked her up. Which is rare for a husky haha. Will be booking again weekly if possible”
“Riley had so much fun, Elle is really good with dogs, even taught him “spin”! She also gave the option for a brief play date with a neighbor’s dog which Riley really enjoyed”
About: I’ve had cats my entire life and have earned a reputation among friends and family as the “cat whisperer.” I have a knack for connecting with cats of every temperament, from outgoing cuddle bugs to shy, fearful, independent, or extra-spicy cats who take a little more patience to win over. I have extensive experience with kittens, seniors, fostering, medications, special care routines, and challenging or defensive cats. I’m great at reading feline body language, respecting boundaries, and letting each cat decide how quickly we become friends. My own formerly-feral barn cats went from aggressive and completely standoffish to affectionate angel-babies who come running for attention; one of my proudest accomplishments! I also understand that trusting someone with your pet often means trusting them with your home. I’m a homeowner myself, and I take that responsibility seriously. My mom raised me to always leave a space better than I found it, and that’s something I still live by. I’m respectful of people’s privacy, belongings, and personal space, and I’ll treat your home with the same care I’d want someone to show mine. Cats are genuinely my specialty. Whether yours needs cuddles, playtime, medication, patience, or simply someone who understands when to leave them alone, I’ll meet them exactly where they are and make sure both you and your cat feel comfortable while you’re away. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to plan my day around the pets in my care rather than trying to squeeze visits into a small window. I’m available throughout the week for drop-ins, feeding, medication, playtime, and plenty of quality time with your cat. I also understand that cats are creatures of habit, so I’m happy to stick as closely as possible to their normal routine and preferred schedule while you’re away. Safety and trust come first for me; both of your cat’s and your home’s. I follow each cat’s established routine closely, double-check doors and entry points, keep food, water, and litter areas clean, and pay close attention to any changes in behavior, appetite, or overall demeanor. As the owner of two formerly-feral barn cats, I’m especially aware of escape risks and how quickly a nervous or curious cat can make a break for it! I’m comfortable with shy, defensive, or unpredictable cats and never force interaction. I let them set the pace and work to earn their trust. When staying in or visiting someone’s home, I treat it as carefully as I would my own. I respect your privacy and belongings, keep things tidy, and follow any household instructions you leave. My goal is for you to come home to a happy, relaxed cat and a home that looks just as good, or better, than when you left it.
“So grateful for John and his girlfriend for taking in my pup super last minute, literally within a 30-45min notice! Appreciate John's attentiveness and willingness to watch my dog. He even said not to rush back to pick Bucky up, because they were having a great time with him, which I appreciated and was thrilled to hear that my dog was in great hands! :) Thank you John, we definitely will be using her services in the near future!”
About: Most of my life I've owned a dog, or have helped my friends care for theirs. I consider myself a sort of Dog Whisperer. I've played and trained large dogs and smaller toy breeds. I'm great with early training for puppies, as well as thoughtful gentle care for our senior pups🩷 I currently work part time. I am available most mid-morning, afternoon, and evening walk times and feeding needs. I am flexible to you and your pet's needs. I'm happy to provide care for your pet at your residence, however you prefer. However, I live in an apartment and can provide temporary short term care at my residence if necessary.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Carson
Bailey had such a blast at daycare with Liz, Ash & their dog, Miles! We knew our pup would be in great hands as soon as we met Liz & Ash, they are super friendly and extremely responsive. They made us feel comfortable right away and took such great care of Bailey while we were at work with frequent updates. They have a beautiful backyard that our dog loved so much - I think she had a hard time coming home afterwards! Their dog Miles is high energy (super great playmate) but is also very respective of our dogs boundaries when she didn’t want to play or share toys. He’s a very good boy! We definitely recommend Liz & Ash and Bailey will be back!!
Marco had a wonderful day! I really appreciated all the updates and photos throughout his stay. It was great seeing that he got a nice walk and lots of attention. He came home happy and relaxed, which is always the best sign. Thank you for taking such good care of him — I would definitely book again!
Isabella was the best with my pup ripley. I texted her super last minute and she responded quick and was able to watch my girl! Ripley was anxious at first when I left her, and had an accident in the house. Isabella was so sweet about it and continued to do her best to make ripley feel super comfortable and sent me pics all day! 10/10 recommend. Ripley also fell asleep immediately when we got home so she obviously got allll the play time :) thank you !!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Carson is $28 per day as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $39 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 8,352 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Carson. 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 Carson 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 8,352 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.

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.
