“Joyce took such good care of my pups and was very communicative with lots of photo updates! It’s such a relief to know your pets are in good hands while you’re away…I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Jane and Ray were such great vacation parents to our Luna. They treated her as one of the family. They played fetch with her, took her on walks, and gave her lots of cuddles and belly rubs. Jane sent us lots of daily pictures and videos. I will definitely be booking with Jane for our future trips. Thanks again to both of you.”
“Connie was amazing with my pups! She is so nice. She sent great updates along with pictures of my pups everyday. They seemed to have a great time with her. Would definitely leave my pups with her again should I ever be in the area again and need a sitter. Ty again Connie! :)”
“Jose and his wife took wonderful care of our pup at their place for the weekend. Our dog seemed very happy, relaxed, and comfortable in their home and looked like she had a great time. Communication was great and they provided regular updates/pics/vids along the way. I highly recommend Jose!”
“Tammy was so great! She sent multiple updates through out the day and made us feel extremely comfortable. Our dog is a bit scarier but she never once made us feel bad about it and made sure he was as comfortable as possible. We will be using her again in the near future.”
“We had such a great experience with Estrella! She watched our dog, Lady, for a few days, and from the moment we dropped her off, we felt completely at ease. Estrella was so pleasant and caring, and when we picked Lady up, she looked happy, relaxed, and well-loved. It’s clear she was in great hands. We’ll definitely reach out to Estrella again in the future!”
“Alice (Junyi) watched our two husky/shepherd mixes for two weeks while we traveled internationally. One of our pups had an injury scare the day before we left. Alice was accommodating, caring, and communicative, consistently sending us videos, pictures, and status updates multiple times per day to help us feel comfortable with his recovery. Both pups seemed to have a great time playing in the backyard, going on walks, and playing fetch, and overall seemed very comfortable and well cared for. We look forward to having Alice watch the pups again in the future!”
“Brenda and her family did a fantastic job caring for my pups over the Christmas holidays. She sent pictures and updates everyday, while also quickly responding to my messages.”
“We had a wonderful experience! She took excellent care of George and kept us updated with photos and messages throughout his stay. George looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for. She was very responsible, patient, and attentive to his needs. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“This was our second time leaving our dog with Steven and Roxie and it was just as great as the first! We knew our dog was in really good hands which allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation. My dog was even very excited to see Steven when we were dropping her off, and she doesn’t normally get excited to see people. I would so much rather bring my dog to stay at their house vs a boarding facility because I know she will receive excellent care and I will get daily photos and updates! I would absolutely book again without hesitation. Thank you so much for taking care of Bodie!”
“I could not have had a better dog sitter for my dog Remi. She had an amazing time and she did so well with her dog Bruce. Frances was amazing about everything from sending updates, taking pictures, keeping her feeding schedule and talking her on walks. She’s the best dog sitter I’ve had and it’s hard to trust people with your pets especially when they can’t speak up to share their experience. I will definitely work with her in the future. Thank you again!!”
“I am so appreciate of Pimpaka’s flexibility with scheduling and unplanned scheduling requests. She also sends updates with many images and videos which puts my mind at ease knowing that my girls are in great hands. 🙌🏽 thank you Pimpaka!”
“Repeat visitor and Lisa does a great job taking care of our Ranger. He truly enjoys being there and loves the fun time at the nearby town or backyard fun. She takes the time sending videos and pictures to us throughout Ranger’s stay. Most of all Lisa takes the time to care for our Ranger.”
About: What sets me apart? I don’t just “watch” pets — I vibe with them. I’m the kind of sitter who talks to your dog like we’ve been besties for years and gives your cat space like the royalty they are. I bring love, energy, and just the right amount of spoiling (yes, belly rubs included). I’ve got a soft heart for animals and a sixth sense for their moods — whether they need zoomies in the yard or a cozy couch nap. I’m reliable, always on time, and I send photo updates like I’m running your pet’s Instagram. Basically? I’m the sitter your pet brags about to their friends. 🐾😎 I’m fully available on Wednesdays and Sundays for pet care services — whether it’s drop-in visits, walks, or overnight stays. On Saturdays, I’m available after 5 PM. I’m happy to work with your pet’s usual routine and keep things as consistent and comfortable for them as possible. If you have specific timing needs, feel free to reach out — I’ll always do my best to accommodate! When I’m caring for pets in your home, I do everything I can to make sure they feel safe, loved, and stress-free in their familiar space. I stick closely to your pet’s usual routine — from feeding and potty breaks to playtime and bedtime snuggles (if they’re into that!). I keep things clean, calm, and consistent, and I always send updates with photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I respect your home like it’s my own and always leave things just as I found them — or better!
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about the incredible care my senior dog received from Rika! At 16 years old, blind, deaf, and struggling with mobility and severe nighttime anxiety, my dog needed a lot of special attention. Rika was a total angel, truly heaven-sent, and made my dog feel comfortable and safe throughout my chaotic move. Her compassion and dedication were extraordinary. She adapted to my dog’s routine seamlessly, providing constant updates with photos and videos that put my mind at ease. Knowing my dog was in such caring and capable hands was a huge relief. I highly recommend Rika to anyone who wants their pet to be treated like family with the utmost love and care!”
“Omg, she was an amazing dog sitter for our dog, Kkomi! Kkomi is a very sensitive dog—he can tell when he’s not getting enough love and attention, and changes in his environment can easily make him sick. But it seemed like he had such a wonderful time with Mrs. Shin K and her husband. They clearly took great care of him and made him feel comfortable and loved. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. I will definitely be reaching out to her again the next time we need a dog sitter. Highly recommend!”
“Jessica was so great with our dogs Bailey and GiGi. We got regular pictures and updates and could see by their smiles they were having the time of their life. Jessica took great care of our of them and honestly if we could give her more than 5 stars we would! We will definitely be using her in the future!”

Mercedes did an amazing job taking care of my two pups for 4 nights. She was very communicative by sending pics and updates throughout the day. My pups looked so happy in all pics and videos she sent so I was comfortable they were fine and well taken care of. I would highly recommend and would rebook again. Thank you so much.
Kitti is wonderful! Our dog Guinness is 12 years old & nervous around other dogs. Up until now, she had never stayed with anyone other than family. My son was getting married out of town, which meant the entire family would be at the wedding. We took Guinness to meet Kitti twice before leaving her, and by the 2nd day of the long weekend, not only was she happy, she was following the other dogs around & sleeping next to them. Kitti was patient, loving, & treated Guinness as if she'd been part of the pack forever. Guinness will now be going over for occasional play dates. Thank you Kitti!
Joyce was amazing and truly went above and beyond! She was incredibly accommodating with several requests and sent daily updates. We were abroad for two weeks and felt completely at ease knowing everything was in great hands. So grateful for her flexibility, kindness, and care. Highly recommend!
Pamela is the best dog sitter I've had for Kira. I've probably booked her about 10 times by now. She takes such amazing care of Kira. I love her updates every morning, afternoon, and evening . They're like little report cards and they give me peace of mind while I am away. On top of being great with Kira, Pamela is incredibly accommodating and flexible with drop off/pick up times. I truly couldn't ask for a better sitter. Highly recommend!
Sharlyn was terrific! A very positive attitude! We felt very comfortable leaving our Huskies (85 lbs & 64 lbs) with her. Her yard was spacious and gave our furries a ton of roof to roam and jet around. Sharlyn had a dedicated doggie room with a dog door offering ‘in & out privileges’. All in all, a great choice! Thank you, Sharlyn! Sincerely, Ken & Tammy
Xinyan (Moyo) was an amazing caretaker to our dog Basil. We’ve never had anyone other than family watch Basil, but her suggestion to meet at a dog park before was so thoughtful. She asked great questions, which assured us that she knows how to take care of dogs. She watched him for 6 days, made sure he got his walks, even in rain, and sent us photo and video updates. Basil was well taken care of and we highly recommend her! We will definitely continue to ask Moyo to watch Basil.
Gioconda was absolutely the best!! I’m so happy I found her. From the very beginning, I felt like she was caring for Beau exactly the way I would, with so much love, attention, and genuine care. It was especially comforting that she speaks Spanish, which made communication even easier. She kept in consistent contact and always made me feel at ease. I would trust my boooy with her anytime without hesitation. Thank you so much, Gioconda!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Charter Oak is $37 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $62 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 Charter Oak 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 Charter Oak 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 Charter Oak.
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 Charter Oak. 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 Charter Oak 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.
