“I could not be happier with how Marianna took care of my cat. Kunkcles was well taken care of while I was away. Marianna did everything I asked. I will definitely return to her in the future if she is available.”
About: I've had the pleasure of caring for dogs since I was 13. I've had my own dogs, as well as caring for and watching many friends' and neighbors' dogs overnight. I simply adore dogs and I believe they can sense it. I'm very patient, calm, & will treat your dog with the upmost of care. I'm dedicated to dog sitting and walking! My schedule is flexible and I'm available 5 days (Sunday through Thursday in the day), and overnights Sunday through Thursday as well. I'm comfortable staying over a client's house. I'm respectful of property and very clean. I will become fast friends with your fur baby and play with them for hours.
“Joanne did a great job caring for our dogs during her drop in visit. We had a kind of complicated setup and she handled it well. Very communicative and good with all three dogs. Thank you again!”
“This is my third time using Autumn for my spicy cat Loki and I would recommend her to anyone. She has gone above and beyond to accommodate when my plans change and Loki seems to like her more than me! Her updates are always detailed and requests are always completed.”
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.
“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!”
“Amanda was excellent. Extremely responsive, punctual, and and provided us with frequent updates/photos. She took care of our pup while we were away via pop in visits. Everything went well. I’d highly recommend and will definitely be requesting her services in the future.”
“It was such a relief having Elena checking on our elderly cat for the weekend! She did a great job, shared thorough updates and pictures, and just made us feel comfortable knowing our cat was taken care of.”
“I had never had a Pet Sitter before and I picked Madison to be the first one and I never could’ve chosen a better Pet Sitter! She took wonderful care of my cat family and they are my family. They’re my kids. I have four of them she showed up every day that I asked her too. She took care of the kids so wonderfully. I can’t even begin to tell you it was awesome! I would recommend Madison as a pet sitter to anybody and I can’t wait till my next trip because I will be requesting if she is free for her to watch my kittens again! She took wonderful care of them. She bought in a box for me that was delivered. I didn’t even know it was going to come and she had no problem with that she showed up on time stayed as long as she was supposed to played with the cat. Send me pictures of playing with the cats and cats are your family. That’s really really important! I have no children. They are my children and she watched my children perfectly thank you Madison!”
“So happy with Lauren taking care of our fur baby. She was very professional, prompt with replying to me and sending updates & photos. Would definitely use her again & 100% recommend her to others.”

About: Animals have always been part of my life, from dogs and cats to fish and small rodents. I began pet sitting at 14 and have built years of experience providing reliable, attentive care for pets of all kinds. I recently graduated college and my schedule is super flexible so I have a lot of time to myself and I hope to spend some of that time helping people care for their pets ! I take care of pets in clients' homes by following their usual routines for feeding, walks, and playtime. I keep their environment safe and provide toys to keep them entertained. I also keep the space clean and share updates with the client about their pet's behavior. My main goal is to make sure their pets feel happy and comfortable while they're away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Oakdale
We were so concerned for our 2 cats since we were going to be away for 3 weeks. One of them needs meds twice a day. Sandy came over twice a day for 21 days. She scooped litter boxes, washed pet dishes, and gave them food and water. Due to concerns for data charges while we were overseas, she sent detailed text updates on each visit and kept photos to a minimum. We appreciated that. :) She was very caring and gave affection when they wanted it and didn't push when they didn't. Cats appreciated that. :) I definitely would recommend Sandy.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Oakdale is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $30 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 4,936 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Oakdale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
