“Lauren was very helpful and flexible with availability. I would recommend to family and friends. Our old dog Indiana doesn't see or walk too well and Lauren was kind and patient. Thank you again.”
About: I have worked with dogs all my life. My wife and I work closely with several local rescues to help all dogs in need! I currently have 6 dogs myself. We walk them daily and keep them busy. I have experience with puppies, seniors and everything in between. I have beagles, GSP, dachshunds, and a former corgi dad. I'm a stay at home dog dad so I'm always available for the dogs. I used to work midnights but thankfully I was gifted an early retirement so I get to dedicate my life to Dogs that need me. I share my home with six dogs of my own and occasionally up to two fosters, so caring for pets is the biggest part of my daily life! I have a fenced yard with a dog door, and since I’m home, the dogs spend plenty of time outside playing and exploring. Especially my very needy GSP who loves attention. We go on daily walks, and I even do some bikejoring with my big guy for extra exercise. There’s always lots of play, fresh air, and love to go around!
About: I’m an experienced, reliable sitter who treats every pet like family. From playful puppies to senior sweethearts, I’m patient, calm, and caring so your pet is always in safe, loving hands. 10/10 pets agree: I give the best belly rubs and ear scratches. I’m home all day to give your pet plenty of attention, playtime, and care. They’ll never be alone for long and will feel like part of the family while you’re away. At my home, pets get a safe, loving space and plenty of attention. In your home, I follow their routine to keep things familiar and stress-free. Either way, they’re treated like family.
“Kelly is amazing! She was very quick to respond and was able to help us out when our usual sitter cancelled last minute. She took great care of our puppy and provided lots of updates!”
“I highly recommend Morgan! She took amazing care of my cat, Mickey, and paid attention to every little detail. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring and reliable hands.”
About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember and currently have a 7 year old beagle of my own, so I truly understand how much pets are part of the family. I know how important it is to feel confident that your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I work locally and come home during the day, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, bathroom breaks, and plenty of love throughout the day. My husband and I own a home on a canal with a fenced in yard, giving dogs a safe and comfortable space to relax and play. I’m very active and a long distance runner, so I’m happy to provide walks, runs, and plenty of exercise (especially for high energy pups who need to burn it off). At the same time, I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether that means extra playtime or a more relaxed, calm environment. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages and can administer medication if needed. My goal is always to treat your pet like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! My schedule revolves around caring for dogs since I already plan my day around my own pup. I work locally and come home during the day, so I’m able to give regular potty breaks, walks, and attention. Evenings are for walks and playtime and I make sure every dog feels comfortable and never left for long periods of time. I try to keep the same routine on weekends as well, as consistency makes pets feel right at home. I focus on creating a safe, calm, comfortable environment whether pets or in my home or theirs. In my home, dogs are treated as part of the family with tons of attention, consistency, and supervised play time on our fenced in yard. For drop ins and walks, I stick closely to their usual routine so they feel at ease. I’m mindful of safety inside and outside the home such as leash awareness, home safety, and following given instructions. I also have experience administering medication and prioritize trust and communication.
“Amanda was amazing with our dogs and bunny. Dogs were very comfortable with her and were very happy to see her each drop in . She was very attentive and detailed in each drop in and kept in touch throughout the whole week. I would highly recommend using her for any of your pets needs”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have been caring for them most of my life, so being attentive to their needs comes naturally to me. I treat every pet like they’re my own; making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable, patient, and pay close attention to routines, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, or just giving them the extra affection they’re used to. I’ll always keep you updated with photos and check-ins for peace of mind. I’m especially patient with shy or anxious dogs and take the time to help them feel at ease. My fiancé, Eric has also always grown up with dogs and was responsible for taking care of dogs and his cat while growing up and they all lived will into their senior years. He is great with more high energy and active dogs, going on long walks, or runs and hikes with them. I work full time where I commute Monday-Friday. Weekends I’m home. My Fiancé also works full time but he gets out a little earlier than I do. For weekend stays we are available to give your furry family the most attention and care. If there is need during the week I’m usually away from home for 10 hours during the day including my commute time to and from work. We will walk and feed them before we leave in the morning and as soon as either of us gets home will do the same and then again before bedtime. In our home, pets are cared for in a calm, safe environment. We live on the second floor of a house in a suburban neighborhood with sidewalks, which allows for safe, structured walks. While we don’t have direct yard access, we make sure dogs get regular walks, exercise, and attention. I also have a senior cat who is naturally shy and takes time to warm up, so I’m very understanding of pets who may be anxious or need a slower, more gentle approach. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or quiet time. I’m attentive to their behavior and needs, and I always aim to make them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away.
About: I have taken care of a variety of dog breeds and pets for years. I have been entrusted by neighbors, family, and friends to care for their pets specific needs and wants.

I am currently free during the weekdays and weekends to board and care for your pet if needed. I have a fenced in backyard with my two dogs, Skittles and Pop-tart to keep your fur-baby company.

About: With over 10 years of pet care experience, I bring dependable feeding routines, fun activities that keep dogs busy, gentle but consistent discipline, and genuine loving attention that helps every pet feel safe, happy, and understood. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine because I have plenty of free time and a flexible schedule. Running my Etsy business on the side allows me to work from home, making it easy to prioritize walks, feedings, playtime, and companionship. Pets get my full attention, consistency, and care throughout the day. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I make sure their space stays clean, tidy, and respected. I provide a safe, calm, and trusting environment for their dog, focusing on consistent routines, attentive supervision, and plenty of love.

“Brandi took care of my three pups for the day recently. She was very thorough and conscientious. My oldest dog had just had surgery so there was extra concern there about trying to keep them from playing too rough. It also involves keeping them I. Separate sleeping areas so that the other two wouldn’t lick his sutures. She handled all of this extra work very well.”

Our trust in Sandy and her care for Brooklyn is superb. She has repeatedly shown her true commitment to professional care and stellar service with our dog. Her communication is excellent and she leaves us with a great sense of comfort knowing our dog is well cared for and safe. I highly recommend Sandy for all your dogs needs. We will continue to choose Sandy over and over again.
Katlyn has been great with our two dogs! She is punctual and sends photos when the drop-in is completed. She did a great job feeding the two dogs in one of the drop-in visits and even administering medication for our puppy with allergies. Would highly recommend Katlyn!

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.

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.

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.
