“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 !”
“Outstanding and reliable, with excellent communication! We have several pets (cat, tortoise, dragon, dogs, fish) and it’s good to know that we can count on Oli to perform our complicated pet routine when we’re away. Thanks!”
“Once again Jeni comes through for the save! Had a last-minute commitment for a day and Jeni was able to swing by to let my dog out twice and feed her. Great updates and my dog is happy! Thanks!”
About: I have been surrounded by animals my whole life, having had both dogs and cats as pets from childhood. With all this experience, I am now 29 years old and I can say that I have enough experience not only of taking care of my own pets but also assisting in taking care of dogs and cats that belong to other people. I have enough practice in taking care of animals regarding giving medicine, feeding, walking, playing with them, spending quality time with them, and paying attention to them. All animals have individual temperaments and habits, which is why I always try to make them feel comfortable, happy, and loved while they are alone without their owners. Being an experienced animal lover, I pay the same attention to other people's pets as I would do with my own. I’m available for pet care every day and have a very flexible schedule. I’m free throughout the day, with the exception of Mondays and Wednesdays from 4:30 PM to 6:50 PM. This gives me plenty of time for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and spending quality time with your pets. I ensure that all pets get enough love, care, and attention. I always stick to the schedule of feeding, walking, and other procedures that the owner is giving so that the pet feels comfortable and safe. In addition, I am able to administer medication when necessary and follow any additional requirements. Pets get enough water, frequent potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and lots of love. However, most importantly, I treat all animals as if they are mine, ensuring their safety and comfort.
“Victoria did a great job with our kitties! One is very shy and she had to work very hard to get him to feel comfortable. She was patient and tried several strategies and by her third visit he had warmed up to her. She also spent time playing with and exercising our other kitty who immediately liked Victoria with their first meeting. I appreciated that she came over for a meet-and-greet before the appointments. I also loved the detailed updates and cute photos during her visit. I highly recommend booking with Victoria!”
About: I genuinely love walking dogs and believe that a well-exercised dog is a happier, healthier dog. Whether your pup enjoys a leisurely neighborhood stroll or a long, energetic hike, I’m happy to tailor each walk to their age, personality, and energy level. I’m in excellent physical shape and enjoy being active, so I’m comfortable with everything from short potty breaks to longer adventures that help dogs stay mentally and physically stimulated. My goal is to make every walk safe, fun, and something your dog looks forward to. I have prior experience caring for celebrity clients’ dogs, but I treat every dog like a VIP. I am also an artist who loves creating pet portraits of many of my former and current customers! After retiring from the corporate world, I’m excited to devote my time to something I’ve always loved—caring for pets. I began dog walking and pet sitting for a celebrity couple in 2002 as a side job, and now I’m making pet care my full-time focus. My schedule is flexible, and I’m available most days for walks, drop-in visits, and pet care. I look forward to giving every pet the attention, exercise, and loving care they deserve. I have experience caring for pets both in clients’ homes and in my own. For about a year, I worked for a couple in the entertainment industry, providing daily care for their pets while they traveled for work. I was trusted not only with their pets, but also with the security and care of their home, including overnight, weekend, and extended stays. I understand the importance of being dependable, respectful of your home, and keeping you updated while you’re away. At home, I recently said goodbye to my beloved companion, Charlie, after nearly 13 wonderful years together. While our home doesn’t currently have pets of its own, that means I can devote my full attention and care to your pet. I prefer to care for one family’s pet(s) at a time so they receive the individualized attention, love, and companionship they deserve.
About: My career allows me to work f/t from home & have a flexible schedule to work around. I have spectacular views of a resort style pool w/lush landscaping & birds & squirrels. I’m currently working from home full-time, so I’m have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for boarding or doggy daycare too. I have a private dogpark in walking distance from my apartment. I have an upstairs balcony with prime pool view. I'm currently working part time so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups at the dog park and exercise. At home dog tv is on for entertainment. I have air purifiers and security cameras in every room. I have a filtered pet water fountain and robot vacuum mop that runs every day.
“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.”
“Zack was absolutely amazing with my two dogs while I was away for a few days. My German Shepherd mix isn’t the easiest dog to care for, but Zack went above and beyond to make sure both of my dogs were happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. He’s responsible, trustworthy, and always on time. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dogs were in such great hands. I came home to two happy, relaxed pups, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Zack to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, and I will definitely be booking him again in the future!”

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember! I currently have two dogs, two cats, and fish, and I’ve also cared for birds, guinea pigs, and rabbits throughout my life. Having experience with so many different animals has taught me that every pet has its own personality, needs, and routines. As a mom of two young children and an educator, I’m patient, responsible, attentive to details, and great at following instructions. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and I’ll do my best to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets like my own and keep you updated so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind! I work part-time as a tutor and caregiver for an adult with special needs, which gives me a flexible schedule and the ability to accommodate walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I’m happy to coordinate with pet parents to find times that work best for their pets’ routines and needs. I understand how important consistency is for animals, and I’ll do my best to provide dependable, attentive care that fits seamlessly into your pet’s day! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities! I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where pets can stay in their familiar environment and feel comfortable while you’re away. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand the importance of following feeding schedules, respecting each pet’s boundaries, keeping doors and gates secure, and maintaining a clean, safe environment. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, give your pets plenty of attention and affection, and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, trustworthy hands.

“Heather is absolutely great with cats. She did a great job taking care of Boris. I left for 5 days, and he wasn't at all stressed out when I got home. Heather is great at communication. I would definitely book her again.”
About: I love dogs and have had dogs all of my live, and had taken care of them when they were puppies, so potty training, playing and keeping and eye on them, and also when they were sick and old, so giving extra attention to their wellbeing. Pets are family members that need to be cared for, treated with respect, as well as provide them with some fun play time. I’m currently working part time so I have time to spend with your pet during week days and can provide visits twice a day in case that is needed. I would keep them on their leash whenever we are outside, always keep the door closed to avoid them running away and follow the house rules.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Oak Park
Ariel is awesome. We are so lucky to have found her. She's been dropping in on our cat twice a day for the past month and has been on time every single day since the day she started. She has somehow gotten close to our cat who usually does not do well with new people and does a great job with everything we have her do. She's also one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. We can't recommend her more highly.
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!

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.

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 .
