About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring dog lover who understands how important it is to know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I enjoy spending time with dogs of all personalities, whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company and comfortable in their routine. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs and always follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special instructions carefully. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands. My goal is to make every dog feel relaxed, loved, and treated like family. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I have a hybrid work schedule, which allows me to be home for most of the week and provide plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I also have flexibility in my schedule and can adjust my work hours when needed to help accommodate your fur baby’s routine, including walks, feeding times, potty breaks, playtime, and medication schedules if required. I understand that every dog has different needs and energy levels, and I’m happy to provide a calm, comfortable, and caring environment where they can feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. Whether your dog loves active play, relaxing naps, or lots of cuddles and attention, I’ll make sure they feel right at home. I have a fully fenced yard with a park connected right behind my backyard, giving dogs plenty of space for safe outdoor time, play, and walks. It’s a great environment for dogs who enjoy fresh air, exploring, and getting their energy out in a secure area. I also have one small, friendly dog who can help keep your pup company and make them feel more comfortable during their stay. I always make sure pets are introduced carefully and supervised to ensure everyone feels safe, relaxed, and happy. Whether your dog enjoys playing with other dogs or prefers a calmer environment, I’ll do my best to make them feel at home and cared for like family.
“Carly was so grounded, calm and patient. It didn't take Jasper long to love her attention and care. We were overjoyed and confident to leave our dog in such loving and capable hands! Highly recommended.”
About: I am comfortable around dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages. I’ve dog sat for friends and family friends throughout the years. 16 years ago, I brought a puppy into my family home. From day one, my goal was to make sure he was loved and taken care of. Whether that was by walking him, feeding, or playtime. The same principle applies no matter what animal is under my care. I am very flexible during the month of August throughout the week and weekend. Come September, I’ll be at university during the day, but I would be more than happy to help out on weekends! I am only able to come to a client’s home. I can assure you that your animal and your space will be respected and taken care of to the best of my ability. Providing satisfactory service is my highest priority.

If you have a specific way of doing things that you'd like continued I am more then happy to do so. My main concern is that your family member is well taken care of whether it be for an hour, a day or several days at a time. I have a schedule that is constantly changing. I am doing a training program come early 2025 so my schedule will be tighter than it is now but I will still try to arrange you to fit in. Keeping your pet safe is a big concern. I always check collars and leashes prior to use to ensure their functionality. I do have a dog who loves playing with others if yours needs a companion.

“Kamil is very attentive to our dogs' needs and has priven to go well beyond expectations of an in-home sitter to include bringing JB home when my flight arrival prevented me from picking him up. Kamil listens closely to instructions and makes his best effort to maintain our dogs' relaxation and minimize routine disruption. We are very happy with the service he provides and is our go-to when considering an in-home sitter.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Oakbank is $26 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $37 per visit. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 377 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Oakbank. About 88% of Oakbank sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Oakbank choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.
If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.
For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
