About: Hi, I'm Brittany! I have over 15 years of experience caring for pets such as cats, dogs, hamsters, gerbils, rabbits and fish! I also have experience with newborn kittens and fostered five two week old babies where I fed them around the clock. I will care for your pet as you would and will shower them with love and lots of play time! I care for all sizes of animals ranging from extra small to extra large. I am loving and patient (as shown in my 13 years of girl scouts) with your pet's needs. please reach out to me if you have any questions. I look forward to meeting you! I currently am fully focused on pet care so I can give your fur babies all of my attention. :) I will always have my phone on me if you have any questions or concerns and will provide many pictures of your little (or big!) babies. I will leave your home the way you left it or better! I was a Girl Scout for 13 years and am very passionate about helping animals. I will keep you up to date on your fur babies and provide as many pictures as you want! I will respect your house and any rules that go along with it.
“Jaimie is fabulous. My cat liked her immediately. She took lovely photos and kept me updated on my cat’s eating and litter activities, which I appreciated and made me feel confident that all was well. She made the right decision when faced with a mistake on my part. I trust Jaimie and would highly recommend her. You’d lucky to have her as a pet sitter!”
“Amara was very nice with Jack and Boney, always on the lookout for extra things that my dogs might need, including the patio of the house.... Communication with her was always excellent and on time. We really enjoyed our vacation knowing that they were very well taken care of. She is an exceptional help, hire her you will not regret it, you will thank me later!”
About: I've had pets or lived in homes with pets for most of my life, starting when I was a teenager, so caring for and sharing space with animals has always been a natural part of my everyday life. Over the years, I've become comfortable with the different personalities, routines, and needs that come with sharing a home with animals. I understand that every pet is different, and I take the time to get to know their individual habits and temperament rather than treating every animal the same. I'm attentive to the little things that help pets feel comfortable and secure—keeping to their normal routines, giving them plenty of affection and attention, and making sure they have the care and companionship they need while their people are away. I'm also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are doing well. Above all, I treat caring for someone's pet as a responsibility I take seriously. My goal is for your and your pets to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you're away. I have a fairly flexible schedule, so I can be available when your pets need me. I'm available for walks and drop-in visits throughout the day, and for house sitting I'm able to spend much of the day at your home with your pets rather than leaving them alone for long stretches. Whether your dog needs a good walk, your cat needs some company and a little playtime, or your pets simply need someone around while you're away, I'm happy to work their normal routines into my day. I'll take the time to understand what each pet is used to and make sure they get the care, exercise, attention, and companionship they need. Whether I'm caring for your pets in your home or taking them out for a walk, safety comes first. I take the time to understand each pet's personality, routine, and boundaries, and I'll follow your instructions carefully. When house sitting, I treat your home with the same respect and care I'd want from someone staying in mine. I'll make sure doors and gates are secure, keep things clean and tidy and in their place, and pay attention to anything that seems unusual or out of the ordinary. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages throughout the booking, because I know how reassuring it is to see that your pets are happy and doing well. If I notice anything concerning, I'll let you know promptly rather than assuming it's nothing. My goal is for you to feel comfortable knowing that your pets—and your home—are in good hands while you're away.
“Sheray was an incredible sitter for my pets. I hired her for drop-in visitations at my home and she exceeded my expectations. She was always on time and she communicated so fast with what my dogs were up to. She sent me pictures, videos and long updates of what had happened during her time with them. It felt great knowing my dogs were safe and well taken care of. I highly recommend her!”

About: I grew up in a family where we always had both dogs and cats, so caring for animals has been a natural part of my life from an early age. As I got older, I continued having my own pets, which gave me real, hands-on experience with different breeds, sizes, and personalities. Over the years, I’ve been responsible for daily routines like feeding, walking, grooming, and making sure pets feel comfortable and safe at home. I’m also used to reading animal behavior, understanding their needs, and adjusting my approach depending on their personality — whether they’re energetic, shy, or more independent. I genuinely love animals and take this responsibility seriously. I treat every pet like my own, with patience, care, and attention. I also make sure to keep owners updated, so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and can easily adapt to your pet’s needs. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and boarding throughout the week, including weekends. I make sure to give pets enough attention, playtime, and care during the day, and I’m consistent with feeding and routines. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where animals feel secure. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, keep a close eye on behavior, and make sure pets are never left unattended in unsafe situations. I can also crate your pet if needed and ensure they get plenty of attention and care.
About: I have taken care of dogs and a wolf hybrid breed for the last ten years. My background is mostly helping with furr children with difficult behaviors. I work full time during the week but love walking/hiking on the weekends. I need a buddy to go with! Parks are my favorite location! I am an attentive care giver and treat them as my own. I absolutely love animals and look forward to visiting with any/all animals of all kinds!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Oak Harbor
Alyssa is exactly who you want when you are looking to entrust your furbabies (and access to your property/belongings). She is an excellent and thorough communicator, extremely reliable, our pets LOVE her,and she has come through in a pinch twice when we desperately needed coverage for our cat and dog when my mom was very sick. I am extremely grateful for her!
We booked Nicole and Cody for drop ins for our dogs while we were on vacation. We booked one hour visits twice a day for 5 days. A few visits did end up being about 30 ish min but the dogs were fed and had plenty of backyard time and that's what matters. Pictures were provided everyday that showed them warming to the Rovers and having a good time. One of our dogs is on a daily allergy medicine and the rovers seem to have gotten him to take it every day! This was our first time using Rover and probably won't be our last.
We booked Sara for a drop in visit for our two pups. She was reliable and communicated well during her time with our pups. We received lots of updates and pictures which was appreciated since one of our dogs can be anxious when we are away. Would recommend to others and will definitely book again!

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.
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 Oak Harbor 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 are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

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 .
