“My Maltipoo has trust issues walking with anyone but me but was comfortable going for a walk with Jesse C. This makes me so happy and with less stress leaving my pup for work etc.”


“Such a great experience. I knew reading the bio I wanted to book Belle. She was prompt, efficient, and communication was seamless from start to finish. Everything felt easy and handled with care. I really appreciated how smooth the whole process was and my dogs were happy and well cared for. Would absolutely book again.”

“Angela goes above and beyond every time she drops in to check on Trygg. I’m so appreciative of the updates and photos, and the peace of mind knowing that he is being cared for so well when I’m away.”


“Kayla dropped in for two days- four visits, at my home to watch my doggie while I was away. I felt complete trust and confidence in Kayla when I met her. She took loving care of my Labrador and followed the instructions I left perfectly. She updated me on all details , took amazing pics of my dog and made sure she was happy and safe on her walks and when they returned. I’m so glad we found Kayla to take care of our lab while we were away ! I hope she is able to return for future drop-in’s. I highly recommend her !”

“Avery is amazing! My cats absolutely loved her. She is professional, friendly and great with animals. We had issues with a delayed flight home at the end of a trip and Avery came in clutch and was able to do a drop-in to check on our fur babies since we were going to be 4+hrs late from the airport. It was such a relief to know that our cats were well cared for.”


About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who treats every pet like family — you’ll find me giving scratches, chatting with pups, and making new furry friends wherever I go. I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals (dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles, turtles and more) and have hands-on experience raising and training XXL breeds including Cane Corso and Great Pyrenees, as well as few velcro pittie mixes. I’ve rescued and fostered large breeds and have regularly pet-sat for dozens of friends and family, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. I have post-surgical care and recovery experience with extensive TPLO experience: recovery area setup/design, PT routines, non-weight-bearing potty breaks, enrichment, medication administration, wound/bandage care, and handling special-needs or anxious dogs. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and happy to follow your pet’s routine so they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I’m excited to meet your pup and provide an infinite amount of pets and belly rubs! I work remotely, part-time which makes me flexible and available to stick to your pet’s routine—walks, meals, meds, and playtime—and provide reliable, consistent care throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I prefer caring for pets in their own home so I can follow their familiar routine and accommodate their quirks and comforts. Before our first booking I’ll do a pre-visit and send a short questionnaire to capture feeding, walking, medication, crate/bed preferences, emergency contacts, and any behavioral notes. I’ll follow your instructions to a T, keep your pet and home secure, maintain feeding and potty schedules, provide enrichment and exercise. Additionally, I'll send regular photo/text updates so you mind can be at ease knowing they are well cared for while you’re away.
About: For us, this isn’t just dog sitting it’s a second home. We don’t treat dogs like bookings or numbers. Every dog that stays with us becomes part of the family, receiving plenty of attention, affection, and supervision throughout the day. We provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where dogs can relax, play, and feel comfortable, especially those who may be shy or adjusting to a new place. We’ve been caring for friends’ and family members’ pets for the past three years, with stays ranging from one week to as long as two months. We’re happy to provide recommendations if needed. We also have a friendly 5-year-old mini Goldendoodle mix at home, so your dog will always have a companion to play with and feel at ease. We keep owners updated with regular photos and messages, so you’ll always have peace of mind while you’re away. What truly sets us apart is the consistency and genuine care. We treat every dog like our own. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine, as we’re home most of the time and able to give dogs consistent attention throughout the day. We plan our schedule around their needs, including regular potty breaks, feeding times, playtime, and rest. Our whole family is involved in caring for the dogs. We have a 24-year-old son and a 19-year-old daughter, so there’s almost always someone at home to provide attention, supervision, and companionship. Dogs are never left alone for long periods, and we make sure they feel included in our day-to-day activities. Whether it’s relaxing indoors, supervised outdoor time, or just being nearby, they’re always cared for and watched over. On a weekly basis, we keep things consistent so dogs can settle into a routine quickly, which helps them feel comfortable and secure during their stay. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always our top priorities. In our home, we provide a clean, secure, and pet-friendly environment where dogs can relax and feel at ease. We primarily care for small to medium-sized dogs, allowing us to maintain a calm, safe, and more personalized setting. We take time to understand each dog’s routine, personality, and any special needs so we can care for them accordingly. We supervise dogs closely throughout the day and never leave them unattended for long periods. Our home is a great fit for dogs who enjoy companionship, consistency, and a quieter environment. We’re experienced with longer stays, ranging from one week to as long as two months, and we help dogs settle in comfortably as if they’re part of the family. We’re also comfortable caring for senior dogs and administering time-sensitive medication, including an 11-year-old Maltese we regularly care for who requires medication twice daily. We follow all feeding instructions carefully, ensure fresh water is always available, and maintain a consistent schedule for potty breaks, playtime, and rest. If needed, we can separate dogs to keep everyone safe and stress-free. Communication is very important to us, so we provide regular updates, photos, and messages to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away. Above all, we offer a true home environment with consistent, attentive care—we treat every dog like our own.
“Brittany is the only dog sitter so far who has been able to get my very anxious Husky to go for a walk. That speaks volumes to the kindness, patience, and love that she has for animals. I am so impressed and grateful to finally have found someone that I can trust if we have to go away. She’s the best!”

“Thank you so much for taking care of our puppy!! Josh was excellent and checked in on our 6-month old puppy twice for a potty and play break. His communication is great! Thank you!”

“We feel so incredibly lucky to have found Sofia to take care of our senior kitty! She went way above and beyond our expectations. Coco was so well looked after and happy! We cannot thank Sofia enough!!”

About: Hi! I'm Marty! I have been an animal lover my whole life. I enjoy spending time with other people's pets when they go on vacation or they are busy. I'd be honored to walk, play with, love, and/or sit for your furry family members when needed. I live in the area, and I am available when your fur babies need some extra attention, exercise, love, and care while you are away. I'm currently available full time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pets! I'm open and available for boarding as well. I love being outdoors, and going on walks in nature. I also live in a beautiful complex that is pet friendly with lots of outdoor grassy nature areas, and a big park to walk to and play in just three blocks away from me. I can crate your pet too if needed.

About: I'm a sensitive, caring responsible individual who loves to play with dogs and with whom dogs love to play. I've worked at the Glendale, CA Humane Society Shelter walking dogs and really enjoyed the experience. I've owned dogs for a good part of my life. However, I recently had to put Taffy, my last dog, to sleep. She was 16 and not doing well. It was heart wrenching and I thought perhaps that rather getting another, I could give the love I have for dogs to others, without having the ultimate burden of ownership. I live in Agoura Hills, CA. There lots of room for dogs to walk and play, lots of trees and grass for dogs to sniff and explore. There are also lots of other dogs in the community and opportunities for dogs to socialize, if the owners and the dogs want. I have a fenced yard and I work from home. I have a flexible schedule. Consequently, I can adapt my schedule to your dog's schedule. I have a fenced yard and I have no other dogs. Even though the house is on two levels, it's easy for dogs to navigate.
“Courtney was absolutely amazing. I'm a crazy dog mom & hadn't ever left my girl. She's a therapy dog & my medical service dog & she goes everywhere with me but we were going to an airshow & I was worried about her ears so I didn't want to take her. We were camping in Malibu & it was difficult to find someone because everyone was a good distance from here but Courtney was agreeable to come to our RV park. She hadn't been here before & was so great at following directions. My dog loved her, I could see from the photos how happy she was. Courtney walked her & played with her. I couldn't recommend her more highly She kept me updated, communicated well, was on time, and most importantly made my pup so happy. She sent me updates for both visits and a lot of really cute pictures. I'm a sitter here on Rover as well and am very picky but if you're looking for a great dog walker/sitter, look no further...Courtney is absolutely FANTASTIC! I can highly recommend her and I will definitely book with her again in the future when we're in the area.”


About: I'm excited to spend time with your dog! From walking, playing, and cuddling, to feeding, watering, and bathing, I'm your answer to caring for your furry friend while you're at work, working late, or spending the weekend out-of-town! I have had two of my own dogs, Sedona, a red dachshund-chihuahua mix, and Buddy, a cream Chihuahua-terrier mix, for the past 12 years, and enjoy them so much! Two cats, Marco and Lucy, also share my home, along with two humans, my partner of 13 years and our teenage son. Our dogs are playful, silly, and love snuggles, and have taught me so much about being a dog mom! Our cat Marco is in his senior years and prefers lounging on our son's bed. Lucy is a two-year-old with a lot of energy, who can often be found playing in her cat tree. I'm passionate about providing the best care to dogs and cats, and yours are no exception - I'll treat your best friends like family. I'm available for dog walks and "drop-ins" in the evenings as well as all day on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I'm happy to pet-sit as well, and from Friday through Sunday I'll be with your dog or cat full-time in your home. While I do have to work Monday-Thursday, I'm happy to stay with your furry pal in the evenings. I want you to be happy, comfortable, and at ease while you're away, just as I would want to be! I'm looking forward to meeting you and your furry friends.

Sandra is the absolute best with my dog Lucy! She is reliable, communicative, and always keeps me updated with messages and photos, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away at work. It is evident that she genuinely cares about Lucy and takes the time to make sure she is happy and comfortable. Lucy is well cared for every time. I definitely recommend!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 14,962 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Oak Park. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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 Park stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Oak Park. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
