“She was wonderful and super attentive. My dog enjoyed playing with her son, win, win! She did everything I asked of her to do. Already have her booked for a second visit.”
“It was my first time doing Rover and also leaving Hedwig for such a long time. Elaine and her husband were recommended by my neighbors and I'm glad I took their advice. Hedwig came back home happy and healthy and I got very frequent photo updates about his activities. He went on walks, played with plenty of toys and other dogs, and learned how to use a doggy door. Would definitely board him with Elaine again.”
“Katie is the best!!! She would send me updates about my girls and pictures daily. She really put my mind at ease while caring for my dogs. This was my first time booking with Katie and I am most definitely re-booking her!!! I highly recommend her. I’m giving her 10 stars forget the 5 stars max on rover!!!!”
“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 ❤️”
“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!”
“Lori is the best of the best! She goes the extra mile to make everything with your dog’s stay go just right!!! Jack was so happy throughout his stay...and he even dropped a little (much needed) weight from all the great walks Lori took him on! We give Lori ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and then some!!!”
“This was our second time using Beverly and we were just as impressed as the first time. Our dog was so excited when we arrived at her home. She knew exactly where we were. Beverly always sends updates during the stay, which we appreciate. We highly recommend Beverly!”
“Our usual dog sitter suddenly became unavailable so we contacted Chieko through Rover the day before our trip. She responded right away and we set up a 2 night plus one day stay. We were nervous to leave our beloved senior dog with a stranger that we we’ve never met but we didn’t really have a choice so we crossed our fingers hoping for the best. Well, we were not disappointed. Chieko immediately began putting our minds at ease with a notification and picture within 10 minutes of us leaving. During his stay, she sent many updates and pictures and was very accommodating to the needs of our dog. He seemed to enjoy all the outings, walks and interactions with his new doggie friends. He came home happy which made us happy. I highly recommend her to take great care of your dog and will not hesitate to call on her again.”
“This was my first time using Rover, and I had a great experience with Ronald. He accommodated my super last-minute request, responded quickly when I reached out for updates, and sent me pictures of Coco regularly. I felt like she was in great hands, and I was able to enjoy my trip worry free. I’m very appreciative, and will definitely reach out again when I need to board her.”
“Our communication was very quick and smooth. She is wonderful caring my dog. She gave me a lot of pics and looked liked my dog was very comfortable with her n other dogs. I will rebook to her in the future again.”
“Fue una experiencia muy agradable Les agradezco mucho su atención con mis dogs llegaron exhaustos solo a dormir y sus jugetes su pañoletas y sus galletas son increíbles chicos. 5 estrellas sin lugar a duda y claro que mis dogs regresaran con ustedes. Muchas Gracias.”
“Emily and her dog Maple were great at taking care of my dog, Leo! He loved playing with Maple. She was also super accommodating on some scheduling changes for drop off and pickup times for boarding. Would definitely recommend using her for daycare and boarding.”
“Johanna and her family took wonderful care of our dog for a week over Christmas. We were nervous as this was our first time using rover and Johanna. She instantly put us at ease on our first meet up and stayed in great communication throughout the stay with lots of photos and videos. She really treated our dog as her own. We can’t thank you enough!”
“Xenia and her crew are the absolute best. Bogie’s favorite Rover ever to go to and stay with. She has the best time with Xenia’s sweet pups, they seem to have a blast every time. We love them and always feel so comfortable leaving Bogie with them!”

“Sylwia is AMAZING. My dog absolutely loved her. She kept me posted the entire time she had my baby girl, and sent me pictures and videos of all the fun stuff they were doing together. She kept Hera’s routines, made sure she had enough exercises, etc. I can’t say enough good things about her, honestly! :)”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - West Carson
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!!
We had to get a sitter and on very short notice, and Jon was responsive to our request and was available. He had previously provided boarding for us back in 2022!! Although it’s been some time, I’m grateful to have found him again. Our Peppa returned to us happy and looked like she was comfortable in the environment (based on the pics we received). Jon even accommodated our early arrival to pick her up. 10/10
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!
Magy is the best person to look after your pet! She is kind, attentive, and affectionate toward animals. I would recommend her to anyone who needs to leave their pet in the care of someone who is highly responsible, communicates well, and truly keeps an eye on their pet. I am so grateful to Magy! ❤️🙏
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!
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.
Dorle, I’m so impressed with how well you took care of our Mushu. It was our first time with you as our sitter and we were going to be gone 10 days and you took her in as if she were family and sent so many great pictures. Mushu is older, has gone through major surgery and is sensitive to strangers at first but you handled her like the pro you are. Plus you are such a warm and wonderful person! I love that your family enjoyed her and that she warmed up to them too! We will definitely have you on speed dial for all of our up coming trips! Bless you, Relena
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.

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 West 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 West 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 West 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 West 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 West 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.
