“Stephanie is incredible!! She has great communication and sends a ton of updates. I could tell from the photos she was sending me dogs were obsessed with her! I could not say enough good things about Stephanie! We will 100% only be using her going forward :)”
“I just returned from a 10 day vacation and Anthea watched my dog and cat while I was gone. I returned to a clean home, and happy animals. During her stay she provided me with a daily report of activities they did and asked questions to better understand each animal. I'm very comfortable with her caring standards and really appreciate all the effort she put into making sure both animals were as comfortable as they can be when their primary human is away. I highly recommend Anthea.”
“Brandon was wonderful. Pepe, My dog, felt very safe and happy. Pepe suffers from separation anxiety. Brandon left the house very clean just as I left it. I think Brandon enjoyed his stay and we loved having him. Looking forward to our next pet sitting adventure. Brandon is highly recommended.”
“We have had Nancy watch our dogs on and off for about a year. She comes and stays at our home, takes care of our two big dogs with tender, loving care. She treats our home with loving care as well as our dogs. I highly recommend Nancy for your pet sitting needs.”

About: Hi! I’m a laid-back yet enthusiastic animal lover with a lifetime of experience growing up in a home full of pets. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes — from tiny lap dogs to large breeds like pit bulls and bulldogs — and I truly understand how unique every dog is. I have extensive experience working with aggressive dogs, helping them feel safe and well-behaved through patience and training. I’m also skilled in caring for senior pets, providing gentle attention and medical support to keep them comfortable and happy. I especially love big lap dogs and enjoy taking all dogs on adventure walks tailored to their energy and needs. I’m very mindful of each pet’s limitations, ensuring every walk and play session is safe and enjoyable. I’m extremely flexible and always bring calm, positive energy into every home. Whether your dog needs training support, medication, playtime, or just a relaxed companion, I’ll treat them like family. Let’s make tail wags happen! I start my mornings with potty walks and breakfast, take a mid-day sniff breaks in between, and end the day with playtime and bedtime belly rubs. I understand how important your pet’s comfort and safety are, as well as respecting your home. To ensure both, I strictly follow every client’s specific instructions and routines — from feeding times to play preferences and medication schedules. I keep your space clean and organized, always secure doors, gates, and windows, and treat your home with the same care I would my own. Communication is key, so I provide regular updates with photos or messages to keep you connected and assured. Above all, I prioritize your pet’s well-being by giving them plenty of attention, affection, and exercise, making sure they feel loved and comfortable while you’re away.
About: I love dogs so much. Dogs always take interest in me out of people in groups. I have had 4 dogs throughout my life and loved loving them, taking them on walks, playing with them, and just being around them. I just graduated this past year and so I don’t have a job yet but I will hopefully this fall but for now, i’m free full time! While taking care of your pets I would always be around them. I’d make sure they are safe and eating when needed, going on walks and plenty of potty breaks!
“Summer did a great job with our three dogs. She stayed with them in our home while we were away for 5 days. She sent daily pictures and updates, our pups looked happy in every picture. We would definitely book with Summer again!”
About: I helped train our family puppy, as well as care for our dogs when they got older and needed care. I love to play with the pups so they exercise and exert their energy! I'm currently working part-time as a host and my usual shifts start at 11am for about 4 hours, or I will start at 4pm and will end sometimes as late as 10pm. My schedule is still a bit all over the place, but I would be gone in a day only for about 5-6 hours. I love to walk dogs if you would like me to while I watch them. I can easily crate or leave the dog roaming, whatever is your normal I will adjust to. I will treat your dog like it's my own!
“Rosalyn was a life-saver! She made the whole process easy and comfortable since this was the first time we have used the site. We highly recommend Rosalyn. We had a meet and greet prior that made us all comfortable the dog included..ha ha. She sent pics throughout the weekend and updates. If you are hesitant reach out to Rosalyn. It was a great experience!”
“Maureen was a total trooper! My house was undergoing construction and she took it in stride. While my kitties were mostly not around, I knew they were in great hands with Maureen. The house was spotless when I returned. The kitties were safe and healthy. I will book with Maureen again!”
“Overall, it was a good experience with Leah and using Rover. Both animals were taken care of and had no issues when we returned. Some minor things that we noticed: Dog food was spilled on the floor in the closet we keep the food bin in that wasn't cleaned up and not enough attention was paid to which supplement treat was being given as Mac got more probiotics and not any joint supplement at some point due to opening and feeding from the wrong bag.”
About: Hi all, it's Kate here! Life long animal lover. I've lived with dogs both big and small since I was born. I am a dog owner of 10 years, well versed with training puppies and caring for seniors. I have a ton of availability this summer as I just finished up my job teaching art to children. Over the last two years I've had extensive experience doing private child/animal care for both cats and dogs. Id like to take care of your pets ❤️ I've taken care of, lived with, and rescued turtles, rodents, fish, cats, dogs, etc! I'm in my mid twenties and very soft spoken and gentle. I currently live in Ridgefield. I love all animals, and would love to care for yours! I would care for them as if they were my own! My schedule is super flexible and open this summer, other than making art your pet will have my full love and attention! I can always make the time for you and your pet just let me know what you need. 💖 In my home I have a high need toy-sized Australian shepherd that is friendly with other animals, well loved and cared for. I live in a small gated community directly across from our fenced-in private dog park, so I can assure you that your pets will be safe in my care. I am capable of following any instructions given for care in your own home such as walking, feeding, playing, administering medicine, you name it! I have a pet hammock installed in the back seat of my car that I can buckle your pets harness into for safe transport as well :+) My policy is to always keep dogs leashed when not in a secure, fenced environment. I simply don't trust a dog's recall unless they are my own and I've personally trained them. If I observe anything concerning with a pet, I'll reach out to the owner right away to ensure it's not a serious issue. I know how important it is to be fully informed about my own pets, so I can provide immediate instructions and avoid unpleasant surprises later on

Charter Oak pet parents share their Rover experiences
Laila was amazing with our 3 fur babies. Both of our dogs are in love with her and very content when we came home. Our cat, Willlow, was recovering from being sick. Laila kept a good eye on her and I feel her calm demeanor helped Willow feel better. Thank you for taking such good care of our furry kids.
Alex was the absolute best! She was a lifesaver when our previous sitter fell through on short notice. She house sat for us and took great care of our dog and cats. We loved that she sent updates and pictures of what they did throughout the day. It was so nice to have the peace of mind that our home and our babies were loved and well taken care of while we were away. We would welcome Alex back anytime!
