“Sofia stepped in at the last minute to help us watch our cat while we were away. She made sure our cat received plenty of love and attention and shared some adorable pictures. We truly appreciate her help and will definitely recommend her and book her again in the future!”


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: I have had cats and dogs my whole life. I dog-sit very frequently! I absolutely love taking care of dogs and being able to spend my time with animals. I am a student in a masters program and Dogsitting is what I love to do in my free time! I work part time on Mondays, Wednesday’s and Fridays! I go to school three times a week. I am very flexible with time. Normally I have breaks every 4hrs at the latest to check in on the dogs throughout the week. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly dog. However, I am more interested in watching dogs at their own homes. I am able to take your dogs on multiple walks throughout the day and giving them plenty of love and affection.
“I just moved to the area and needed someone last minute to help me with my dog - feeding and a couple walks - while I was at Disneyland for the day. It's always hard to leave your dog, especially when you don't know the person, but Angela was wonderful and exceeded my expectations. She was super responsive to my initial outreach and asked great questions. I loved getting the visit reports and photos from her throughout the day. She took extra time to get to know the dog and make him comfortable, and did other little thoughtful things that made me feel like she treated the dog and my home like her own. I can't express my appreciation enough, and will definitely be calling Angela again!”

“Perry has been an Amazing help to keep our puppy exercised while we have a crazy summer. He’s been very attentive to last minute requests and helping on long and short notice. Whether it’s a good brisk walk or just hanging out to let our puppy get out of his crate and use the bathroom, we can confidently leave home for extended hours and know our puppy is in good hand.”

“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 have several years of experience caring for dogs and previously worked as a dog walker for Wag! while attending college full-time. During that time, I was even invited to apply for a customer support position at Wag!’s headquarters. After earning my degree in Fine Arts with an emphasis in Graphic Design, I transitioned into a creative career while continuing to care for pets whenever possible. My pet-sitting experience includes caring for dogs through Rover in both California and Hawaii. I am currently based in Agoura Hills, California. Having grown up with pets my entire life (especially dogs!) I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate to care for your furry family members. Raising my beloved 14-year-old Chihuahua mix, along with helping friends and family care for puppies and adult dogs of all sizes, has given me confidence, patience, and a genuine love for animal care. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, or extra attention while you’re away, I strive to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I am available M-TH after 3 pm, Fridays after 12 pm, and weekends for dog walks or drop ins. Also available weekends for pet sitting / day care if needed :) I do not have my pup with me at the moment, will notify if this changes. I regularly would take pups on a walk around a few blocks, stopping for potty breaks at anytime with trashbags handy. I can provided treats as directed (approved by you or provided by as well, ofcourse!) to train or for good behavior when necessary. Food will be fed at any time instructed. I have potty trained dogs, do tricks (taught my dog how to roll over at 7 yrs old), and will acknowledge signs of when a dog needs a walk or attention. I am great with following directions and rest assured, you will know how your pup is doing as I enjoy taking pet portraits (as well as painting them if you’d like!)

“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 !”


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.
About: All through my life, I've had pets: dogs, cats, fish, you name it. I currently have two dogs, a Rhodesian ridgeback and a terrier mix. I've spent years pet-sitting and walking for friends, family, and neighbors. I grew up helping out around my grandmother's ranch. I've got well-rounded experience with all species, big and small, and equal love for them all. Being back home for the summer, I have plenty of time to give your pet the care they deserve. From morning and evening walks or lunchtime trips to the park, my days are open for your fur babies. Care is tailored to your pet and lifestyle. Dogs stay on leash in non-fenced areas, but in fenced backyards or dog parks, they're free to roam. Only pups with experience at dog parks will be taken to them. Water and food will be cleaned and refilled each day, and dogs who need to be crated will be. Weekly or even daily brushing will be determined by coat length and type. Most importantly, whether they're furry, pawed, or clawed. They all get loads of love and attention as if they were my own.

“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.”

About: I love all pets and animals and have been trusted by neighbors and family friends since I was 16 to feed, check in on, play with, and even stay overnight with their pets to keep them comfortable and safe. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel cared for while their owners are away. Pet care is something I truly enjoy, so I make time for it in my routine. I’m flexible with drop-ins, walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and overnight stays. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine and giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and affection throughout the day.I’m available as necessary on weekends, evenings/nights and very early mornings. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, routines, and house rules to make sure pets feel secure and stress-free. I provide a calm, loving environment, close supervision, and lots of patience so every pet feels safe, cared for, and at home.
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.

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.
