Annie did a great job checking in on our two cats over a weekend we were going to be gone for long periods of time. I appreciate knowing they got some attention and care while we were away.

Rylan is an exceptional pet sitter. We have two very skittish cats, one of whom is nearly feral, and she took gentle care not to spook them. She also handled unique litter box issues without batting an eye. She is intelligent, anticipates needs, and highly responsible. I wish I could give her ten stars in this app!

About: I've had lots of experience with a wide variety of dogs from family pets to working with Wag! I have a 8 month old German Shepard/Lab, Opal, so I am comfortable with puppies and high energy breeds. I also have experience caring for senior animals. I am currently a stay-at-home mom. I am mostly available for weekend care but can do walks & check ins during the week if I bring my youngest with me. I am open to boarding and other care during the weekends. I have a fenced in yard for lots of fetch & play time. We love walks & hiking so lots of opportunities for exercise, fun & bonding with the dogs. I also have experience with crating if that is necessary.

Leann was punctual for the appointed times to feed our kitty (and our kitty loves to be fed on time). She sent lots of cute photos letting us know our cat was eating well. She was caring and our kitty cat was in good spirits upon our return.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes since I was a kid. I had 2 dogs growing up so I am used to big energetic dogs as well as small. I have a lot of experience with anxious and high energy dogs and am comfortable and enjoy taking care of them. I moved away from home for college so I miss my dog a lot so I am looking for some new furry friends to play with during the school year! I am a college student so my availability varies daily, I am available most weekdays (time depending) and weekends. I am available for multiple times a day if necessary. I have a dog at home who tends to run away often so I am well trained in keeping doors closed keeping an eye on them etc. I am good at following any specific instructions for any special requests a dog would need.

About: Hi! My name is Allie and I've spent most of my life loving and caring for pets in multiple different environments over the years. I grew up with a bushel of miniature schnauzers, a few rodents and a snake. In college I took in a feral barn kitten and made her the talk of the university! After college, I spent 5-6 years working in a dog daycare facility which gave me experience with all different breeds and an immense amount of knowledge on behavior. After doggy daycare I moved on to working in a veterinary hospital which was an incredible resource and opportunity for me to increase me knowledge on medications as well as other medical knowledge. I would love to have the opportunity to spoil your pet as well as give you a safe space to leave your furry friend! Over the summer I am out of work and home with my pups and kids. In late August I will be headed back to work at a school nearby but working relatively short hours. We love to go on walks, to the dog park, the human park or just lounge in the back yard. I live in a 4 bedroom house with a large back yard. It is not fenced in but I do have a long line. I have a 12 year old pup who is a calm, unbothered queen and a year old pup who loves everyone and everything. In addition, I have 2 kiddos that are incredibly respectful of other pets space and will love your pets as much as their own however they can be crated if needed 😉

I had a wonderful experience with Kiana! She took excellent care of my cats and made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well looked after while I was away. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. It was clear they genuinely cared about my pets and paid attention to their individual needs. I came home to happy, relaxed cats and everything was clean and in great shape. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of my furry family!

About: I have owned a dog since I was 3 years old and never looked back. I am the go to person for my friends and family when they are out of town. I will take care and love your best friend just like they are my own. "Dogs are not our while life, but they make our lives whole." I currently work at a group home doing a few overnights a week and also work part time as a server. I am available most days for walks and drop ins. I have a 1 year old German Shepherd who is very sweet and playful, so if your pup is friendly, we can discuss doggy day care as well :) I have a fenced in yard and one dog of my own (German Shepherd) who is very playful, and my roommate has a Grey Hound who is pretty lazy and just lays on the couch all the day. My dog enjoys playing fetch in the yard, going to the dog park, walking the trails by our house, and snuggling up on the couch. Please let me know if your dog is reactive when going on walks, along with if they are friendly towards people and other dogs, as I'm sure there will be plenty of people asking if they can pet your dog! I am guilty of being that annoying person who always asks if I can pet a dog lol My dog is my fur baby and I know how hard it is to find someone who you can trust to treat and take care of your fur baby just like your own. I will spoil and give them love just like they were my own, and just like they deserve :)

About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember — I’ve been caring for pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities since I was a kid. From energetic puppies learning the ropes to sweet senior dogs needing patience and extra care, I understand that every dog is unique and deserves personalized love and attention. I’ve been incredibly blessed to grow up with many dogs throughout my life, which has given me hands-on experience with different temperaments, routines, and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or a calm and comforting environment, I focus on making them feel safe, happy, and at home while you’re away. Your dog will be treated like family — because that’s exactly what they are to me. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I intentionally make time for walks, play, and attentive care. I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable drop-ins, walks, feeding, and companionship while making sure each dog gets the attention, exercise, and consistency they deserve throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding schedules, routines, and any special instructions you provide to keep your dog feeling secure and stress-free. I create a calm, loving environment, monitor behavior closely, and ensure pets are always supervised, safe on walks, and treated with patience, respect, and genuine care — just like family.

About: I grew up with dogs, and have had dogs and a cat of my (our) own for nearly 12 years. I have also fostered dogs and cats for the past decade (~30 animals), and am comfortable with many types of animal personalities, including reactivity, shyness, and anxiety. I will meet your pet where they’re at, and let them lead our interactions. Currently have 2 senior dogs and am comfortable with medication administration. I work hybrid and am flexible with my schedule. I work from home generally M/W/F and am generally much more flexible those days. I am in the office Tues/Thurs but generally only gone up to 6 hours at a time. Much of my work is event based, so there are also times evenings/weekends I will need to be gone, but generally 3-4 hours. In general 6 hours would be the max time between potty breaks, etc. I am currently only available to sit in your home or for drop in visits (we have a full house with our fosters). I will treat your home as a guest in it; I’m tidy and will clean up after me and your pets! What is helpful for me to know is what your pet’s typical day looks like, if they have any favorite or important parts to their routine, and ways they like to get stimulation (walk, play, puzzles). Where do they sleep? As much information as you can tell me about your pet is better so I can keep things as normal for them as possible!

About: I provide reliable, personalized care, with experience in puppy training basics and senior pet support, including medication assistance, patience, and attentive daily routines for every pet. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine by scheduling dedicated time for visits, walks, feeding, play, and check-ins around my other responsibilities. I prioritize consistency, making sure each pet receives care at the same times each day when possible, which helps maintain their routine and comfort. I also build flexibility into my schedule to accommodate different pet needs, whether that’s early morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening care. On a weekly basis, I plan ahead to ensure availability, manage bookings, and stay organized so each pet gets reliable, attentive, and uninterrupted care. I care for pets by following their established routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and medication if needed. In a client’s home, I maintain a calm, familiar environment to reduce stress, keep everything clean, and ensure pets feel safe and comfortable. I provide plenty of attention, supervision, and enrichment activities tailored to each pet’s personality and energy level. I also respect the home, follow all instructions carefully, and provide regular updates with messages and photos so owners feel confident their pets are well cared for.

We’ve used Jessica several times, and she’s been fantastic every time. She’s consistently available on short notice, always punctual, and very polite. Even though we’re not home during her visits, our hairless cat, who is extremely selective about people,comes out to see her and happily lets Jessica pet her. That alone says a lot. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.

Kirsten did a wonderful job of 3 home visits! We had never done this before with our dogs. Our 6 year old is a little skittish but she went potty and finally ate for Kirsten. Our one year old white Shepard loved the attention and walk! We came home to 2 pretty calm puppies! We would definitely recommend her. Sent pictures at every visit with updates.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Oakdale on Rover is $19.26 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 5,450 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Oakdale. 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 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.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Oakdale choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Oakdale with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Oakdale. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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.

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.
