“Saige got along great with all our animals and everyone seemed well taken care of when we got back. She also kept our house clean and we could hardly tell we had ever left.”
“Brianna is a star! After moving Zora from the only home she had ever known less than a year ago, I was very unhappy about leaving her for a whole month, but I needed have worried. Zora and Brianna quickly formed an enduring bond and did SO well together. It was infinitely reassuring to receive regular texts, photos and videos of their days together. Brianna also took amazing care of my home and my plants. When I got home, everything was immaculate. Zora had obviously been content, well cared for and exercised during my absence. Definite five stars!! Thanks, Brianna!”
“Julie was amazingly flexible, as our schedule was unknown, and was there when we needed her. More importantly, she was good with Ricky, took him out for walks as well as for his sanitary needs, and kept us regularly informed, with pictures. If we are in the area again we will seek her to assist us, and Ricky, again.”
“Robb was great with our greyhound and senior cat! He sent us photos of them each day and made sure our pets were comfortable with him the whole time. It was great having the peace of mind knowing they were being taken care of, thank you again Robb!!”
“Julissa watched our three dogs today and did a fantastic job! All three of our dogs have severe anxiety and separation issues, but as soon as we left the house we received pictures and all three had settled right down and were very comfortable with Julissa. These three are very hard to handle at times and require someone with just the right personality and patience to handle them. We will definitely be contacting her next time we need a sitter.”
About: I have 12+ years of experience caring for many animals with a wide range of needs, from basic care to special medication and feeding routines, and from crate and house training puppies to caring for elderly cats and dogs with arthritis, diabetes and blindness. Each animal is unique, and has a special personality. Your pets health and happiness is my priority, as is yours. I can provide as many updates as necessary, but giving as least one per day/per visit is important to me. I love to share with you about the funny thing your dog or cat did when I walked in the door, and I want to make sure you are up to date on behavior, feeding, play time, and potty time so that you can give me any necessary feedback. I love ALL animals, and in addition to cats and dogs, I also have experience with many small animals such as many types of rodents including ferrets, a small variety of reptiles, and some birds. I will even feed your fish and water your plants! Your pets won't be disappointed (and neither will you!) I have several small businesses and work from home on a flexible schedule. I'm a single parent, with almost no help, so sometimes that requires me to bring one or both of my children to work with me, always with my clients permission. That does not affect my reliability or the quality of care your pets receive. It is a challenge, but no one ever said being a single parent would be easy! I have lots of space to fill with cats and dogs and I can and will always accommodate your pets schedule and ensure they receive the best care and love next to what you provide them. I have two animal loving dogs and an animal loving cat! I also have 2 animal respecting children. My goal is to earn the trust of your pet, during any of the services I offer, and make sure that their time with me is stress free, fun and engaging so they have the best stories to tell their parents when they return. **Note for house sitting clients only: most overnight services I must bring my youngest child with me. She is disabled and in a wheelchair and I have much trouble finding overnight care for her. She is quiet and easygoing, she is unable and unwilling to approach your animals, but shows happiness when they approach her. Her presence does not affect my ability to give your pets 5 star care. Accessibility to your home is usually not a concern, and will also not hinder my ability to accommodate your pets needs and schedule. **
“Kristin was a wonderful cat sitter who took great care of my two kitties while I was away. She was conscientious and communicative, sending updates and photos keeping me well informed of everything happening back home. Highly recommended!”
“Sarah was absolutely wonderful! This was my first time using a pet sitter, and I was nervous about having someone stay in my house, but she completely put me at ease. My senior cat and new puppy both adored her right away — my cat even curled up on her lap, which rarely happens with new people! Sarah’s updates were super thoughtful, perfectly timed, and showed how much she truly cared. I couldn’t have asked for a better first petsitting experience. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Lauren did a great job taking care of my pup, who is very shy and anxious. Lauren was patient and gentle and allowed time for my pup to warm up. She sent lots of updates so I had peace of mind while I was away.”
“First time having Ash watch my two dogs. They thrived over the week, and enjoyed plenty of attention exercise and love. I appreciate that Ash sends communications and updates, it was a comfort to see and know they were in very skilled and capable hands. I will definitely have Ash work again for our pet sitting needs and look to set up some dog walking too!”
“We recently had the pleasure of having Cindy as our pet sitter for our two kitties, and the experience exceeded all expectations. After a disappointing experience with a previous sitter, Cindy restored our confidence entirely. From our initial meet-and-greet, her genuine passion for animals was evident. Throughout our trip, she provided daily photos and detailed updates, which reassured us of our cats' happiness and comfort. Cindy went above and beyond and took great care to learn their routines and needs, and she also kept our apartment in excellent condition. Her exceptional care and dedication make her a standout pet sitter. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and whole heartedly recommend her to anyone in need of pet sitting services😸💛”
“Drew is a highly recommendable house and pet sitter. My cat and dog liked them from the first minute on. And so did we: Drew is professional and courteous, highly intelligent, reliable, flexible and organized. At the same time, they have a m genuinely friendly and sweet personality, a wide range of interests, and a good dry humor. They left the pets happy and the household spotless. We will hire them any time and recommend them full heartedly. 🌸”
About: I’m a graduate student with a bachelors of science in Biology and a concentration in pre-vet, working towards a career in veterinary medicine with years of hands-on experience caring for animals. I’ve worked in a clinical hospital and an animal shelter with both cats and dogs, gaining experience with a wide range of temperaments, ages, and needs. I’ve also taken multiple animal-focused college courses that strengthen my understanding of proper care, behavior, and health. In addition, I’ve provided pet sitting and dog walking for friends, family, and neighbors for several years. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and make sure every animal feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m currently working part-time, but I have as much time as I can give for your fur baby! I coach softball so I’m away part of July but other than that my schedule is pretty open. I prioritize pet safety by following routines closely, maintaining clean spaces, and respecting your home. I ensure pets are supervised, secure, and comfortable at all times.
“Erin was the perfect dog (and house) sitter. We came home to a relaxed and happy senior dog and the house just as we had left it. Erin went above and beyond by bringing in mail and trash can, watering plants and even reached out to see when Riley could go on the lawn after it was fertilized. Erin is professional and responsive. We will definitely be booking with Erin again!”
“Matt was great- took good care of our pup while we were away for the weekend and sent pics each day we were away. He left our home clean, stripped the bed, and even shoveled our driveway when we got snow while we were gone! Recommended! Would definitely use Matt again.”
Oakdale pet parents share their Rover experiences
Remy is wonderful! She stayed with my cat, Sonny, in my home while I was away on vacation. During our meet and greet she took careful notes, asked lots of questions and I could tell she genuinely cared about taking the best care of Sonny as possible. During her stay she sent updates and photos to let me know how Sonny was doing. I even learned some new things! She took great care of both Sonny and my home. I will be asking Remy to watch Sonny next time I go away!

If we are in the area again we will seek her to assist us, and Ricky, again.
Brianna went above and beyond in caring for our chronically ill, very shy cat Amelia. Even though Amelia hid for the first three days, Brianna was super attentive and made sure she was fed, monitored, and that we were consistently updated. Once Amelia emerged she sent us tons of great pictures. Brianna also took great care of the house; it was so nice to return to a spotless space. We would absolutely book with Brianna again!
Isabel was so caring and attentive to our high needs dog. She bonded w him, played with him, adjusted to his idiosyncrasies and learned from him. She was so sweet with him and patient. We really appreciated how much she cared about him and his well-being. She was very well-prepared ahead of time, asking for information about our dog’s routines and our house. She is kind, intelligent, warm and friendly. She communicated well w updates and pictures. We are so grateful we met Isabel!
Ace is ABSOLUTELY THE BEST!!! Ace is so caring, compassionate, and dedicated to the happiness of her Adopted Fur Babies.... Which funnels through to the Fur Babies Momma. Ace is in constant communication and asks questions to assist with the Fur Babies happiness. We looked forward to all the pictures that Ace sent us. We could tell from these pictures that our Fur Babies were well taken care of and happy. Ace follows the plan of care so well, of course, Clyde and Bella are there to assist. lol Ace was so respectful of our home and left it in the same neatness as upon arrival. If I could, I would give ACE 10 stars!!!!! 🐾🐾💕
