We have a 3 year old dog. I am a stay at home mom so she doesn't go without attention by any means. She has always done her business outside and has a fenced in yard to hang out in. She never had one accident in the house until we moved about a month ago. The house we moved from was only tile floors. The new house has carpet in two of the bedrooms. She still has the fenced in yard and does go outside and use the bathroom. I always let her out before I leave to go anywhere and before we go to bed. And of course throughout the day.
When she pees in the house, it is only on the carpet and only when I am not at home or if we are in the bed. Before we moved here she would not pee all night and would wait until we got up to go outside, but now it's like she thinks she can just go as she pleases as long as the bedroom doors are open and there is some carpet. I have rugs in the bathrooms and by the doors and always have, she has never peed on those. If I forget to close the door to the bedrooms, when I get back there is almost always a spot on the carpet. But never on the tile.
I don't know what to do.

It is very likely that the rugs in the new house have scent on them from a previous cat. Your cat is trying to replace that scent with her own. I would try cleaning the areas with an enzyme cleaner. I saturate the area and then step on the spot with towels to remove the excess. I use Natures Miracle from Petco. Do that a couple times and then allow a couple days to dry.
