House Sitting Oak Park

“Heather was FANTASTIC!!! We received updates and pictures every day while we were away with top tier communication throughout. She was so respectful and caring that we would use her again in a heartbeat & will be referring all of our neighbors & friends to her. My wife and I were able to enjoy a busy, stressful weekend trip knowing that our cat, dog, and house were in Heather’s capable hands!!! Hands down the best sitter we have ever had and genuinely feel lucky to have connected with her. 10/10”

“Marty was amazing! She took care of our pets and home like they were her own! She was great with communication always keeping in touch and sending updates! Would highly recommend Marty if you don’t want to have any second guessed while you are gone as she holds it down! We have 3 dogs - 9 month old puppy, an 8 year old frenchie and a 15 year old Pomeranian! Each dog has specific needs from play time to medication and she takes care of it all with absolutely no problem! Thank you again Marty!”

“Julia was a fantastic pet sitter. We left our two challenging frenchies with her for 6 days. She communicated regularly, sent updates and left the house immaculate. We were happy and our pups seemed happy! Would love to have Julia stay with them again.”

About: Hi, I’m Leyli! 🐾 I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years, and I love every minute of it! Over the years, I’ve had the joy of working with many wonderful repeat clients, and I always treat every pet like my own. Services & What I'll Do Dog Walking: Fun neighborhood walks, playful runs, or gentle strolls tailored to your dog's pace. Drop-In Visits: Feeding, fresh water, medication if needed, quick cleanups, and lots of cozy playtime and cuddles. Overnight House Sitting: Caring for your pet in your home so they can stay happy, safe, and relaxed in their familiar routine. With a flexible weekly routine, I am regularly available for morning, afternoon, and evening walks, as well as drop-in care and overnight sitting. I prioritize consistency so your pet gets their meals, walks, and rest at the exact times they're used to I provide attentive, trustworthy care right in the comfort of your pet’s home to keep their environment familiar and stress-free. I strictly follow your specific household rules, care routines, and security instructions.

About: With lifelong experience caring for dogs, horses, and cats, I'm an animal lover and horse whisperer. I train my pets, provide energy healing, and enjoy daily walks. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine, as I work from home and have the flexibility to design my own schedule. As an energy healing practitioner, I prioritize mindfulness and balance, which extends to my pets. I incorporate playtime, walks, and training when needed into my day, ensuring they receive ample exercise and mental stimulation. During breaks from my meditation and yoga sessions, I find joy in spending quality time with my pets, fostering a nurturing environment. Their companionship enhances my work-life balance, and I often use sound healing techniques to create a calming atmosphere for both myself and my furry friends. Caring for pets in my home is a thoughtful process. I have a fenced yard where your dog can play safely alongside my sweet 15 year old boxer, who loves companionship. I welcome only dogs that are friendly with cats, as my 4 year old indoor cat enjoys their company. I feed all dogs outside, right in front of my kitchen, ensuring a clean and pleasant environment. Cats are fed separately in the kitchen, with their food placed on furniture to keep is safe from curious dogs. For hydration, I have a water fountain for the cats and a water dispenser for the dogs, both inside and outside for the dogs. When needed, I can easily crate your dog at night; my boxer is crate trained but prefers to sleep freely now. I require that you bring your dog and cat with their own bed, food, and treats, ensuring they feel comfortable. Additionally, It's essential that all pets have a collar with a tag and a leash for safety. This structured approach helps create a harmonious atmosphere for all furry friends in my care.

About: I have had rescue dogs my whole life, so I have experience dealing with large dogs that have special needs. I also worked in a pet supply store for 2 years, so I have interacted with a wide variety of behaviors and care requirements. My schedule is currently very flexible, so I can make myself available at any time with enough notice, including periods like nights, weekends, and holidays. I will listen to instructions about a pet’s individual needs, and care for them accordingly. I understand the importance of a consistent routine, and will make sure any pets remain as comfortable as possible.

“We are so happy we found Jeff- highly recommend! He watched our big boy German Shepherd and our older Pittie. He gave them plenty of time at home, watched the house, and took care of medications and feeding regimens perfectly. A+++!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs my whole life! From raising my own Toy Fox Terrier and German Shepherd, to helping friends with both playful puppies and sweet seniors. Many families on Rover trust me again and again, and I’m grateful for the wonderful reviews I’ve received. That’s because I treat every dog like family. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their parents are away. Dogs with separation anxiety quickly relax with me, as I know how to ease their stress with play, walks, and gentle reassurance. You’ll also have peace of mind knowing your pup is in loving hands, with consistent updates, photos, and videos to keep you connected. For me, this isn’t just a job.. it’s something I genuinely love doing! I currently work part time (coach tennis) and have a very flexible schedule where I am home most of the day. Weekdays and weekends I am very available throughout the day. I blanket my couches to allow the dogs more comfortable resting places. I like to take the dogs to the nearby fenced dog park to get exercise and regularly go on walks for potty breaks and exploration. They will feel comfortable, relaxed and happy when staying with me.

About: As an enthusiastic dog lover , i bring more than just my affection for animals to every pet sitting job. My experience has taught me the importance of understanding each dog's unique needs and preferences. I specialize in creating a warm, engaging environment where your furry friend will feel right at home. I'm currently studying part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pet(s). I'm available for weekends and weekdays as well most of the time. i have a big fenced yard and a playful dog at home who will keep your pet busy and engaged and happy all the time .

About: I have a lifelong passion for animals and believe pets are family members deserving of dedicated, thoughtful care. Since the age of 12, I have had cats of my own and have regularly provided comfort and care for friends' and family's cats as well, giving me years of hands-on experience with feline behavior and needs. In 2020, I helped raise my family's golden retriever from puppyhood, managing crate training, obedience training, daily exercise, grooming, and all aspects of routine care. She turns 7 in January 2027, and I have supported her needs through every stage of life. I recently provided care for a 17-year-old small dog with heightened attention needs and separation anxiety, ensuring he stayed comfortable, calm, and well supported. I also share my home with two cats, ages 4 and 1, which has given me ongoing, daily experience with animals of varying ages, temperaments, and energy levels. When you entrust your pet to me, you can expect a consistent routine, attentive supervision, and regular photo updates so you always know how they are doing. Working part-time from home gives me the flexibility to build pet care into my everyday routine. I'm available Tuesday through Saturday for at-home care, both day and night, so I can be attentive to feeding schedules, walks, and any special needs throughout the whole day rather than just squeezing visits in around a fixed schedule. This flexibility also means I can respond quickly if a pet needs extra attention or company. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their established routine closely, including feeding times, walks, and any specific instructions. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and engaged, while providing attentive companionship, especially for anxious or senior pets.

“Cassandra was great from the start, very responsive and easy to communicate with! All our dogs loved her and we felt really comfortable leaving them for the evening. Highly recommend!”

About: I have had around thirteen years of cat care experience, having owned four cats, a tarantula, and a snake throughout my entire life, and currently volunteer at an animal shelter. I have had a lot of opportunities to learn how to take care of cats and their body languages, so I am very experienced with knowing when to back off or if a cat wants love or pets; I also know what to look out for to prevent cat fights from happening or how to break one up. Although most of my experience is in cats, I am always open to learning new things or how to take care of dogs, and I am always willing to walk your dog or house sit for them because I am someone who loves animals and will never shy away from a chance to meet them! I am still a student right now, so I am only free in the afternoons and evenings during the weekdays (school generally from 7:30 AM-4:00 PM), but I am totally free on weekends (minus 2-5 PM on Saturdays where I volunteer). I am also looking to get a part time job so my schedule might shift around. I will happily send you pictures or video updates of your puppies or kittens, and I am also extremely willing to play with them using their favorite toys, and I don’t mind spending extra time for snuggling sessions while I’m there! ❤️ My house is usually very quiet save for the occasional cara passing by, and the cats are allowed to wander about and do whatever they want. I will also never try to force an interaction with a cat if the cat does not want it. I brush and groom my cats if the opportunity comes up, and is open to snuggling with a cat anytime 🥰

“Emily watched our dog Otis in our home for 4 days. She communicated with us everyday and was quick to respond. Our dog Otis can be shy around new people and he warmed up to Emily right away. Your dogs and your house are in good hands with Emily, we would definitely trust her to watch Otis again!”

About: Hello fellow dog lover! I work from home with flexible hours, solo household, no children. I love love love dogs and think they’re special little gifts! Yours will have the most wonderful single-pet staycation, be safe, sweetly cared for, played with, and walked. I love walks, rain or shine, but if your pup is not a fan or is a senior, we can Netflix & chill instead ;). I typically board one family’s pets at a time so they get my full attention and it’s more like home. I previously fostered over 30 dogs large & small for a SoCal rescue (not all at once ;). Many needed special or medical care. Currently no dogs of my own, but I did raise the sweetest girl for 16 years who was on the news for being the oldest of her breed. She was a soulful character. I look forward to meeting yours! Available 7 days a week and most holidays. Same-day walking requests are also welcome. I work from home with flexible hours, and can keep your fur friends comfy, healthy and happy! I’ll be sure to send you daily updates with adorable photos :). I live in a safe gated townhome, lots of grassy and shaded sidewalk areas within, as well as hiking trails adjacent! My home and personality are chill. But I love outdoor adventure, and hiking if your dog is up for that too. Your pet is welcome on my couch for extra snuggles but I adhere to the same house rules you’ve trained them to follow. I provide feeding & water bowls. Please bring their harness, leash, and usual food so we keep their tummy happy. Anything else you think will make their stay better is welcome.

About: I think about my service as to satisfy my clients peace of mind, but also to give the animal I’m caring for nothing short of a fun experience! I want every animal I meet to associate me with fun and excitement I’ve always managed pet care into my daily life, whether it was for others or my own pets! Pet care is a responsibility that I’ve grown up with and have had my entire life, and I wouldn’t let a single thing stop me from making sure animals are cared for the way the need to be. Each animal has its own specific need. That is something that I will talk with the client about, but it’s also something I’ve very observant at. Some would like to just play, others may like to sit with you and enjoy your company. And maybe it’s a mixture of both, or something completely different. I see it as making sure each animal gets what they want so they can live an amazing life that they deserve.

“As always, Gabby is super attentive to the needs of my two kitties. She sends lots of pictures while I'm away, and updates on how they're doing (especially since one of them is a little more shy than the other). The cats definitely get plenty of play time in, and I know I can count on correct feeding times/amounts. Great pet/house sitter!”

Krishane J.

“I knew my doggies were in good hands with Esther. I was able to relax and enjoy my trip. She did a great job house sitting and followed all my instructions. My dogs seemed well cared for and happy when I got home. I especially appreciate the pictures Esther sent every day.”

About: I've been a dedicated dog owner for a few years and understand the responsibility, structure, and attention dogs need to thrive and feel comfortable. In addition to caring for my own dog daily, I’ve also provided pet care for friends and family. I believe in treating others the way I would want to be treated, so I prioritize clear communication, consistency, and updates to give pet parents peace of mind while they're away. I work remotely four days a week and off Saturday through Monday, which allows me to provide consistent supervision and interaction. My own dog, Peanut, spends the day with me in my home office, and this allows for a couple of one-on-one play sessions throughout the day. My home office has a sliding door that leads directly to our large, and secure, yard, making potty breaks easy and as frequent as needed. I have a school age daughter, and a terrier mix who roams freely, so we’re very mindful about keeping floors and common areas clear of anything that could pose a choking hazard or safety risk. Same goes with the outside. I provide close supervision in a normal household activity and everyday sounds like TV or music. My dog is crate trained; however, we typically use a playpen if a secure space is needed. I am happy to follow each pet's parent's preferences regarding crating, feeding routines, and supervision to ensure every dog feels safe and comfortable.

“Kimberly did an amazing job watching our shy dog. She took great care of her and of our home. She sent plenty of updates to let us know how it was going.”

About: I am a caring, attentive, and reliable pet caregiver with 10 years of professional experience. I have worked primarily with dogs, though I also have some experience with cats, small mammals, and birds. I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own, ensuring them lots of attention, affection, and love. I have experience working with dogs of many different sizes, breeds, and ages. I genuinely love and enjoy taking care of animals and hope you will choose me as your next pet caregiver! I am fortunate to have a very flexible part-time work schedule, which allows me to be available for all of your pet care needs! BOARDING: I live in a 2nd-floor apartment in a quiet, peaceful, and walkable community. I accept boardings for one family at a time, ensuring a calm and peaceful experience for all. Due to the quiet nature of my apartment community, I prefer to board calm-tempered dogs to avoid noise complaints from excessive and/or loud barking. I can board 2 dogs from the same family at a time, though for large dogs I limit to 1 due to the size of my apartment. I have a large and safe, pet-proofed balcony where the dogs are welcome to lounge and explore. I also welcome pets on my couch and bed to ensure maximum comfort. While boarding dogs, I make sure to be present all or majority of the time. HOUSE SITTING: For pet sitting in your home, I follow all instructions provided to me while staying respectful of your space and privacy. I always clean up after myself and leave the space cleaner than I found it.
