“Lyla did a great job: she was willing to come meet the pups beforehand, showed up on time to house/dog sit, sent photos and updates, and left the house and dogs clean and happy. We hope to use Lyla for future dog care needs and highly recommend her to others.”

“Nancy is simply the best! She instantly fell in love with our tuxedo kitty, Ranger, and gave him wonderful, loving care. She was attentive to details and kept us updated through text messages and photos. We had peace of mind knowing our kitty was in great hands with her, and we will definitely Invite her to come back again the next time we go out of town. She also left our home very tidy and clean.”

“This is the third or fourth time Paul has sat for our dog and we always know she’s in great hands with him. Jan sends frequent video and photo updates so we feel connected. The house is immaculate when we return and even the house plants look like they’re in better shape after a week with Paul 😄”

“Extremely appreciative and pleased with Ingrid's house sitting! She promptly responded to all messages, provided reassuring check-ins, and carefully looked after our neurotic (reactive) Mini Aussie.”

“Shelby did a wonderful job taking care of our cat, house, and plants. Minka has some chronic health issues that get worse when we travel. We booked Shelby for overnight stays and Minka did really well. Shelby was great at communication, managed all of the medications, was respectful of our house and requests. She kept our plants in good condition despite an unexpected heat wave. She left the house very clean and we’d be happy to book her again.”


“Anthea is the best! If you can book her, do it! She takes good care of the animals and house. This time she had to give meds to my senior kitty which isn’t easy or fun. She provides updates and always makes me know the kitties are safe and cared for!”


About: For 15 years I ran a successful dog walking business outside of Boston, and have now returned to the northwest to help my mother age in place. I'm missing my animal friends, and am ready to help with yours! I'm experienced and mature, conscientious, reliable and careful, with the same high expectations for myself that you have. I understand the importance of good relationships with anyone you bring into your pet's life - both for your pet and for you - and building relationships and community is what I most loved about my dog walking business. My schedule is quite flexible! Being retired definitely opens up my availability, and I aim to be as accommodating and helpful as possible to meet your pet's needs. Safety and privacy are important priorities, and I am always respectful of both. I have years of experience accessing clients' homes and caring for their pets - more than 250 pets over the years - without any problems. I am professional and experienced, with a proven record.
“Tiffany is fantastic! She treated my dogs like her own. She is not only trustworthy and kind, but she made sure my fur babies were stimulated, entertained, and given lots of love! She is communicative and always sending updates. I will continue to use her and I recommend her 100%.”

“Danielle is a delight! We feel so lucky to have found her! Our two retired racing greyhounds, Luna & Cosmo, adore her as much as we do. We were hesitant to leave for a mini-vacation without having used Rover before. Danielle put us at complete ease immediately. We didn't have single worry while we were away. She feels like an extension to the family. We feel absolutely comfortable having her stay in our home with our two pups repeatedly! Thank you Rover for getting us in contact with Danielle; and thank you Danielle for being a perfect friend to Luna & Cosmo!”

“Jennifer and Jeff were very welcoming of Zappa for his weekend stay. We were nervous how Zappa would do staying in a new place. Turns out he loved the farm! Jennifer sent us updates throughout the weekend to reassure us he was adapting very well. We will definitely be back!! Thank you 😊”

“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!”


“Kaitlyn genuinely joyed taking care of my pets. They are both on medications and it's challenging to dispense them correctly. It was done perfectly. She took really cute pictures of them and kept in touch with how things were going. I am hiring her again!”

“Sylvia was a GODSEND! She was one of the most communicative, responsive, and easy to reach Rover sitters that I have had. Our trip was extended last second due to car troubles, and Sylvia was able to sit them for 2 days longer than originally expected. She was gracious and professional, sent us proactive updates every day, many photos, and was willing to clean up after our older dog that has accidents inside sometimes. It seemed like both of our dogs were very happy to have her around as company during our long vacation. It means the world to have peace of mind when you're far away from home, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for their next sitter!”
“This is our 3rd time booking with Roree and she always does amazing with Aspen! Because of the weather over the weekend while we were away she kindly took Aspen into her own home to care for over the weekend. Aspen had so much fun playing in the snow in the yard! We love getting all the pictures and updates of Aspens smiling face throughout her stay. If you’re looking for a trustworthy sitter who truly cares for your fur babies, Roree is your girl!”

About: I've taken care of dogs pretty regularly, from chihuahuas to great danes. I work well with senior dogs just as well as energetic young dogs :) I'm an online graduate student with an internship in Vancouver, but my schedule is pretty flexible. I'm almost always open on weekends as well. Whatever fits you needs. I have a fenced in yard at home, and food is usually separated from my other pets' food and typical routines to limit interaction. At a clients home, I work hard to keep the home pristine and keep an eye on your pets wherever they go.
“Lauryn was a great sitter. We had a little hiccup with scheduling but she communicated the whole time, found her own coverage which I really respected, and in the end it all worked out. She sent tons of videos and pictures of the boys and left the house clean. I would absolutely hire her again!”

Charter Oak pet parents share their Rover experiences
Sarah was awesome!!! It was clear from the second she met the dogs that they loved her. She is a natural with dogs and took extra special care of them. Our dogs are everything to us and knowing they were in such good hands and care allowed us to enjoy our time away. Thanks again Sarah!

Anna was FANTASTIC!!! She took such good care of Gigi and our home! She made the time to meet with us a couple of times prior to our trip to help acclimate our shy Gigi to her, as well as asked all of the important questions to prepare her for her stay in our home. We so appreciated the daily updates and pictures... it definitely lifted any stress to see how well Anna was caring for Gigi! We cannot recommend Anna enough!

Once again Melyssa did an amazing job of taking care of our dog and our house. She checked in regularly and provided us with lots of pictures. Our pup was very happy and it was evident he was very comfortable with her. Thank you so much Melyssa for your attentive care of our baby!

Maureen house sat for 5 days and watched my 2 little dogs and they loved her. Maureen kept me updated, sent photos and even washed the bed sheets and towels she used. Also, one of my dogs can be anti social with people she doesn't know well. By the 2nd night she was laying next to Maureen on the chair. Maureen is wonderful and will defintely use again.

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!

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.
