About: Over two decades of experience taking care of client's dogs, cats and exotics primarily working in client's homes to ensure the companion animals are safe and happy at home. I work in education, so my schedule is extremely flexible this Summer. I would be honored to be trusted carer of your pets and home while you need to be away! I find my expertise is working with client's pets in their own home and consistently maintaining the routine they and their pets are used to.

“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!”
About: I’ve cared for both farm and house pets for most of my life. My dream is to have a homestead with as many animals as I can ethically care for. I’ve taught both dogs and my cat different commands and would love to learn more things to work on training in the future. I believe mental enrichment is so important to keep animals living a happy life. I’m currently a stay-at-home pet parent so my routine is quite flexible. I try not to be away from home for too long so my dog doesn’t have to be crated for prolonged periods. I am very attentive to my pets behaviors and I will be with yours too. They can’t always tell us what they are thinking or feeling so body language is very important.
About: I have been taking care of dogs my whole life! I have experience working at a doggy daycare where I cared for dogs of all different sizes, energy levels, temperaments, and special care needs. Since then, I’ve regularly cared for pets for friends, family, and military coworkers. I am comfortable working with puppies, senior dogs, high energy breeds, and dogs that need a little extra patience. I have experience administering medications, following feeding schedules, and making sure every dogs gets plenty of exercise and attention. I also have experience looking after cats, hamsters, gerbils, and rats. I’m happy to follow detailed care instructions to make sure every pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I am currently a stay at home mom with a flexible schedule and plenty of free time! Your fur baby will receive plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks! I can stick to your dogs normal routine and of course provide updates and photos throughout their stay. Whether your pet is energetic or prefers a more relaxed environment, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for. Nothing is more important to me than your pets safety and happiness. I have a fully fenced in backyard for safe playtime, and two friendly, well socialized dogs who love making new friends! I always supervise introductions, closely monitor playtime, and can separate pets if needed to ensure everyone’s safety and comfort. I’ll follow your pets feeding schedule, and medication instructions, and of course any special care instructions to ensure they feel right at home! I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family!

About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and am very comfortable caring for pets of different sizes and personalities. I’m patient, reliable, and genuinely love spending time with animals. As a student-athlete, I’m also very active, so I enjoy long walks, playtime, and making sure dogs get plenty of attention and exercise. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I currently have a flexible schedule. This gives me plenty of availability throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, feeding schedules, playtime, and check-ins. I’m able to plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for to make sure they get consistent attention, care, and companionship. Because my schedule is flexible, I can also accommodate different routines and spend quality time making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, medications, playtime, walks, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, comfort, and supervision while keeping their environment clean and safe.
About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats since I was a little kid! Growing up we had dozens of cats/kittens and a black lab who was my best friend. In my adult life, I have been a pet sitter to countless clients, coworkers, family etc. I have experience with dogs and cats both young and old. My schedule is very flexible and I am located near base here in Oak Harbor as my husband is in the Navy. I can’t wait to meet your pet and give them lots of love and care! I am available from around 7am-3pm everyday for walks/check-ins. My husband is in the Navy and we share a vehicle so I’m at the mercy of his schedule but have full availability while he is at work! Safety is always my number one priority when caring for animals. I always take extra care to make sure doors and entryways are secured before entering to avoid anyone escaping and to properly lock doors behind me. I also always prioritize my communication with you. You will receive plenty of pictures from your walk/visit as well as a detailed bio letting you know about how the visit went.
“Rosie watched our puppy blu & did an amazing job! She’s a great communicator, attentive to my dogs needs, and very reliable. Will definitely be using her in the future! And highly recommend her for your pet needs!”
“Megan was absolutely wonderful with our cat! Each drop in visit came with photos where Rajaa was clearly enjoying the company, snuggles, and playtime. We will certainly rebook with Megan any time we can!”
“I highly recommend Kaetlyn for your pet sitting needs. She was respectful and patient with my dog who can have stranger danger. She was prompt with her visits and I felt that she really cared for my dog. I plan on hiring her again in the future! Thanks, Kaetlyn!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life — I grew up with two dogs and three cats in our household, and I currently have an 11-year-old black lab.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Oak Harbor
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.
Miss Alyssa did wonderful with our Milo. Milo has never eaten with his pet sitters, but he did with her. She took her time with Milo, played with Milo, and ensured he went potty. She sent updates, photos, which helped me relax as I am someone who stresses easily. My house was left the same as we left it and she even washed Milo’s food bowl and spoon. She has set the bar so high when it comes to pet sitters. We hope to work with her again as we are highly satisfied with her pet care skills. Thank you again from the botttom of our hearts.
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!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Oak Harbor stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Oak Harbor with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
