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.
“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!”
“LeAnn was very friendly and conscientious with our two cats. She came over before we left to meet them, go over the instructions, and understand where everything is and what needed to be done while we were gone. She spent enough time to play with both cats and give them some much-needed attention. We appreciated her pictures and updates on how the cats were doing. Both of them were comfortable with Leann and were very friendly with her. We are very happy with how she did and plan to use Leann again in the future as our primary cat-care person.”
“Dakota appears to have checked all boxes requested! Cats are older and pretty inactive, but i see no problems at all. Communication was steady and reliable. Thanks Dakota! Planning on using her in the very near future if she is available.”

About: Hi! I’m Eden and I am 19 years old. I can’t remember a time where I didn’t have a furry (or non furry) companion with me! I grew up with dogs and pet birds. I have fostered dogs and puppies with a local rescue, The Bond Between (formerly known as SecondHand Hounds) since 2020 and have leash, crate, and potty trained them. I have babysat numerous different dogs and cats during the past four years and would love to care for more and gain more experience! I have even cared for reptiles such as bearded dragons and snakes. I currently have two dogs and a pet gecko! 🩷 I’m currently in my sophomore year of college and trying to save up more money! So I have plenty of time for your furry friends! I have two lovely dogs to help keep your dogs company! I always make sure that I am giving your furry friends my undivided attention.
About: Between my own family and my wife's, I've had alot of experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes. I've house sat for elderly dogs and raised and trained our own puppy. I've rescued half a dozen lost dogs from our neighborhood. Every dog I meet gets lots of love and yours would be no exception! We already have our miniature poodle pup Winston, so your pup would fit right in with us! I am working from home the vast majority of the time and if I was gone, my wife would be there. As the kid who was always the first to notice when a dog needed to go out and do its business, I'm very attentive to the needs of all dogs. Your pup will be a part of our family during their stay and kept company by my whole family.
“Angela was wonderful! She came into our home for 10 days to take care of our cats while we were out of town. Having someone you can trust makes everything so much easier!”
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.
About: I grew up with animals all throughout my life. I’ve had dogs, cats, birds, and help my mom foster for Cocos Heart and other animal rescues. I’ve worked with many different dog breeds through my past job at PetSuites and through pet sitting. BACK FOR THE SUMMER!! I’m currently working part time at two jobs during the week but will be able to make check-ins in between shifts. The weekends I’m available anytime for check-ins or walks! I try to provide more than just the basic needs to my pets and any pet I care for. This includes feeding and medications, walking, playing, and hanging out with the pets to keep them company. I’m relatively active so I can take the pets for longer walks and runs if requested. I always put the pet first and make sure they feel safe and comfortable with my presence.
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.
About: I have grown up with pets all my life, typically having at least 3 of any animals at a time. I have babysat, walked, washed, and more for neighbors & friends pets since I was a teen. My husband & I are not in the position yet to get animals of our own, so I am missing having some fur babies around! I would love to care for, babysit, walk, etc to help you with your precious pet(s)! I am a real estate agent and I mainly work from home. There are some afternoons/times on the weekend that I am working out of my house, but my husband is a teacher and is usually home when I have to leave. I have a big yard for your pet(s) and they would be free to go almost anywhere in our home! I have 2 kennels to use and 2 dog bowls, if needed. I have 3 long leashes in our backyard and I or my husband stay out to keep an eye on your pet(s) too. I have also dealt with medical needs with pets, and will be sure to help your fur baby if needed! Please just let me know what they need!
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life and regularly help neighbors, friends, and family with pet sitting and drop-in visits. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, administering basic medications, and caring for both energetic puppies and senior pets. I treat every animal like my own and prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication with owners. I work full-time but maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate daily drop-ins, walks, and overnight care when needed. Pet care is built into my routine — caring for my own animals is the first and last part of every day. I prioritize reliability and consistency, and I communicate clearly about availability. My home has a fully fenced yard with plenty of secure space for supervised outdoor play. Inside, I have hardwood floors and an open layout with room for pets to relax comfortably. I have two crates available if needed and maintain structured areas for feeding, water, rest, and play. Safety, supervision, and routine are my top priorities, and I ensure pets are monitored and comfortable at all times.
About: My family has been fostering dogs since I was 11, and I have pet sit for several neighbors and friends. I volunteer at Coco’s Heart Dog Rescue—I take the dogs outside to go potty and for walks, play with them, feed them, clean their kennels, etc. I’m home from college for the summer and my schedule is very flexible. I will be busy in the evening Monday-Thursday but I am relatively free during the day. I will follow any instructions or rules that you give me. I will interact with your dog only in the ways that are comfortable to them, but I am totally willing to play and get dirty. I don’t mind mess and it’s okay if your pet isn’t house-trained.
About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs all my life. I understand that each pet has their own personality and needs. Nothing would make me happier than a chance to get to know your precious pets and care for them like they’re my own! I currently work full time but with flexible hours. Typically, mornings and evening visits are best during the week but my weekends are wide open. I live in a dog friendly neighborhood a short walk from a large park with many trails and nature to explore. My place is full of sunshine that pets can bask in.
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 :)
“Rachel did a great job taking care of our cat while we were out of town. We loved getting our daily Pickles update and she was a happy cat when we got home!”

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.

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 .

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.

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.
