“Emily was great, all of our cats seemed great upon return. She was responsive and very thoughtful. She even thought to ask if she should do anything extra when a large storm was coming through.”


About: Hello! I have always loved taking care of animals, I have pet sat recently for my cousin, I used to pet sit for my neighbor before I moved, I’ve taken care of my own pets since I was a kid, and I’m experienced with both cats and dogs! I do work, but I have days off, and I don’t always work all day, I’ll know my schedule ahead of time, so I’d be be transparent with my availability. I’m always off on weekends though! Of course I’d talk to you about the pets routine, whether it be feeding or even bathroom times depending on your animal, and from there I’d make sure all the requirements are met! I’d play, and of course make sure I supervise your pet! I’ll make sure to follow any rules owners may have!
“Amanda did an amazing job taking care of our two dogs. She communicated excellently, and spent quality time with them during the drop-in visit. We will definitely book with Amanda again.”

“Alexis was wonderful! She was flexible with our scheduling. When she was delayed, she communicated with us. She was attentive to our kitties. She noticed that our kitty who has feline herpes was having a stress flare up and asked if she could administer his eye drops. She gave us peace of mind while we were away. I would definitely recommend her and will be booking with her in the future.”

About: I’m a dedicated dog lover with hands on experience caring for friends’ and family dogs, as well as my own, using positive reinforcement at home. On walks, I focus on gentle, calm structure, making sure gear fits comfortably, reinforcing polite leash manners, and (if you’d like) practicing simple cues like “sit,” “wait,” and “leave it.” I’m patient with excited dogs and extra gentle with nervous pups, always prioritizing safety and giving plenty of space from other dogs and people when needed. Dogs who need extra space on leash are welcome, I’m comfortable with mild–moderate reactivity and I work at the dog’s comfort level using distance, calm handling, and positive reinforcement. You’ll get photo updates + a quick walk recap each visit, and meet & greets are always welcome. I’m available for dog walks Monday through Saturday, with flexible time blocks from morning to evening (6am–10pm). Sundays are my off day. I’m happy to work with one-time walks, weekly routines, and recurring midday potty breaks—whatever keeps your pup happiest and most consistent. Safety comes first on every walk. I double-check harness/collar fit, use secure leash handling, and stay alert to surroundings. I avoid on-leash greetings unless you request them, give dogs space from triggers, and keep walks calm and positive. I’ll follow your routine closely and send photo updates each visit.

I have a fenced backyard with a side yard that also has a dog gate.

About: About Javana I’ve been in love with dogs for as long as I can remember! I grew up with two dogs and have years of experience caring for friends’ and family members’ dogs throughout the 209 area while they’re out of town. I truly enjoy meeting new doggy friends and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m happy to visit your pup at times that work best for their routine, and I always provide photo and video updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I love playing with dogs using their favorite toys, going on walks, and I never mind spending extra time on cuddles and snuggle sessions. Your dog’s happiness and well-being are always my top priority!🐾🩷 I'm currently working part-time, so l'l have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for walking and drop ins just message me and we’ll set something up! I provide attentive, loving care in my clients’ homes and always follow each pet’s routine and instructions. I make sure your pup gets plenty of exercise, fresh food and water, and lots of love and cuddles. I’m very mindful of their energy level and needs, whether they want an active walk or a calmer visit.

About: I grew up raising and training puppies, taking care of older dogs and I have worked at a dog grooming place trimming nails and bathing dogs. I am currently unemployed, so I have free time to take care of your sweet babies whenever you need a sitter, I am there any day. When I'm at my clients home I will make sure to follow every rule and schedule the owner requires for all their pet related needs.
About: I personally have had two dogs for 10 years whom I have cared for with pure love and attention. I have taken care of family pets as well when out of town to ensure pets still feel like a human is there to support and love them. Pets are just as much family as humans and I wholeheartedly believe that! I have a lot of time on my hands since I am currently unemployed out of choice and I am just looking to make work feel fun again before jumping back into full workforce again. I keep a close eye on pets in clients homes to ensure they are abiding by house rules while still getting to enjoy their time at home. I know sometimes dogs can be runners because I have one so I am always vigilant about doors and where they’re going to lead to. Dogs are sneaky and smart and that’s what makes them so fun but sometimes they get up to trouble so I ensure they stay on their best behavior by redirecting.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds for about 30 yrs, helping neighbors, friends, and family with walking, feeding, bathing, and daily routines. I’m calm, patient, and playful, and I’m comfortable supporting puppies, seniors, anxious dogs, and high‑energy breeds. I focus on keeping pets relaxed, happy, and safe while following each dog’s unique routine. I focus on creating a safe, calm environment where pets feel secure and understood. I follow each dog’s routine closely, use gentle handling, and keep spaces clean and hazard‑free. Whether in my home or a client’s, I prioritize trust, comfort, and consistent care so every pet feels relaxed and protected. In your home, I keep your pet’s routine steady, calm, and familiar. I follow your instructions closely, maintain a clean and safe environment, and use gentle, consistent handling. I make sure doors, gates, and feeding areas stay secure, and I give your pet relaxed, playful attention so they feel comfortable and protected while you’re away.
About: Growing up on the farm, there was no shortage of canines in my life starting very early. Companions, service dogs, working dogs, strays who wandered up and never left, I’ve taken care of almost every shape and size of dog! Starting with the chocolate lab I saved up for from my local rescue at 8 years old, to my most recent geriatric chihuahua, I love them all! I’m an artist with a very flexible schedule looking to fill a need in my community! I can accommodate nearly every shape and size of situation—especially holidays and last minute bookings! As someone with very high standards, I only wish to provide the services that I absolutely expect for my pets! You can always count on me to follow your instructions thoroughly and to the letter; your pet’s healthy and safety and your satisfaction as an owner is of the utmost importance to me!

I also have weekends off. It is very flexible and can adjust days and times based on what is needed from me. I have a big fenced backyard and my own room as well. If you pet prefers to sleep in a crate we have plenty of space, but I would love to share my bed. Unless the temperature doesn’t allow my dogs personally prefer to be outside but are welcome in but can be in a separate space if needed. Everything is very flexible

“Teresa did an amazing job looking after my Fig! It was our first long trip apart but Teresa immediately put me at ease. I loved getting the updates and was stoked to see Fig warm up to her! She was neat and courteous and professional. I’ll definitely book her again!”

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 Oakdale 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.

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.
