Jule was AMAZING. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone who is genuinely caring and passionate about animals. She took excellent care of my 4 dogs. She sent me pictures daily, which really put my mind at ease. She is a wonderful person and has a lot of knowledge about dog behavior and training.

Johnathan was great with our pup! So thankful he offered a meet and greet first so she was comfortable with him. It made us more comfortable, too. Thanks Johnathan for checking in on our girl.

Jannan did a wonderful job watching my cat, Callie. Callie warmed up to her right away and it seemed like she really enjoyed her company. I would recommend Jannan to anyone looking for a kind and caring pet sitter! I will definitely be using her again in the future.

About: I’m a proud dog mom to a Mini Goldendoodle who turns 2 on June 28. She’s the sweetest, friendliest little girl and truly a part of my family. Spending every day with her has taught me so much about the love, patience, and attention that dogs need to feel happy and secure. I’ve always had a soft spot for animals, and I genuinely enjoy being around them. Whether it’s going for walks, playing fetch, sticking to their routine, giving extra cuddles, or just keeping them company, I love making pets feel comfortable and cared for while their families are away. What sets me apart is that I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. I know my dog is my baby, and I treat every pet with that same level of love, kindness, and care. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, loved, and right at home with me. I’ll also send plenty of updates and photos because I know how reassuring it is to see your furry family member happy and having fun Pet care fits easily into my routine because I already spend my days caring for my own dog. Adding another dog to the mix doesn't feel like work to me, it's something I genuinely enjoy. I'm used to daily walks, feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and all the little things that come with being a dog parent. Your pet's safety and comfort will always be my priority. I understand that every pet is different, and I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. In my home, pets will have a clean, safe environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision. I make sure doors and gates are secure and never leave pets unattended in situations that could put them at risk.

We had a great experience with Lynne as our sitter. This was going to be the first time seeking pet care and the longest we’d be away from our two cats. Before our trip, we had a lovely meet and greet which immediately put us at ease. During our time away, she completed the drop in visits exactly as requested/agreed upon and kept is up to date with notes and photos each time. She even went above and beyond by bringing our packages in as well. It was clear our cats were well cared for and we would not hesitate to book with her again. Thank you Lynne!!

About: I have experience with dogs, cats and exotics especially parrots! I have experience with snakes, bearded dragons, rats , Guinea pigs and rats too I’ve watched various neighbors dogs for years and always focus on giving them a fun day since it’s really stressful when your a dog family leaves even for a few days.

With notice I can easily modify my routine to make sure I’m there for your pet In my home I current have it parrot proofed. So we have no chemical or anything toxic that can easily be gotten into. I also make sure not to keep any toxic foods in the house as an extra level of precaution and know that you cannot leave them alone because you never know what any pet will get into especially when their routine is disrupted

About: I have a 50 lb pittie myself, she goes with me everywhere! Love all animals where I want all of them. What’s better therapy than a smile from a happy pup after a long day of play? Caring is one of my many traits as a human. I am very motherly to my baby girl as if she was a real child. There is nothing that makes me happier than seeing the happy hops that come with smiles. I will use all the tools provided by the home to have the best results for new fur friends care. Having clear communication with pet parents of the required needs of their pets.

About: I have taken care of my family’s dog, a chocolate lab, for the 13 years he was with us. When we first got our dog, I was only 3, so I have grown up around dogs and am very comfortable with small or large pets. I have taken care of other pets for neighbors, friends, and family when needed to walk, feed, bathe, or just take a quick visit to check in! I am currently taking summer classes, but have a lot of free time being home from college for the summer, so I can be available any day of the week for pet care. I am comfortable with early mornings to later evenings. I have a lot of experience looking after my dog for many years and love to walk outside, play catch outside, or do more calm indoor activities with dogs if needed.

About: I’m very understanding as a cat owner for 20+ years, pets are family. I am patient and try very hard to understand your pets needs and your needs as the owner for them. Rather it’s medication or food or water or comforting needs, I’ll be there. I do not have puppy or kitten experience. I am unsuitable for aggressive dogs. I’m readily currently available on weekdays and weekends. I am available weekdays after 7pm and weekends if after 4pm. Weather may be dependent on conditions on roads locally, and may cause delays. Currently I am taking earlier drop-ins but normal schedule is 4pm. I would pop by your place. I will call or text you in advance as I’m headed over. Varying on your service I would provide most care the pets need. Feeding, fresh water, medications, pet, play or even have talks with the pets too!

About: As a lifelong dog lover and Golden Retriever owner, I treat every pup like family — with patience, structure, and plenty of love. I have experience raising puppies (including crate training and managing food sensitivity) and caring for senior dogs who need a gentler touch. What sets me apart is my calm, consistent approach and attention to each dog’s personality and needs. I’m reliable, communicative, and I truly enjoy building trust — not just with your dog, but with you too. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or keeping routines on track, I’m here to make your pet feel safe and happy while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine — I have two lovable Golden Retrievers of my own, so walks, playtime, and structured care are already built into my day. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the attention, consistency, and companionship they deserve. Whether it’s early morning potty breaks, midday exercise, or evening snuggles, I’m used to providing calm, attentive care throughout the day. Pet sitting isn’t just a side task — it’s something I truly enjoy and prioritize. Whether in my home or yours, I care for pets with the same love, structure, and attention I give my own dogs. In my home, pets enjoy a calm, pet-friendly environment with room to play, structured routines, and plenty of snuggles. I keep a consistent schedule for meals, walks, potty breaks, and downtime, and I’m happy to accommodate crate training or special needs. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent and stress-free — feeding, walks, playtime, and medications (if needed) are all handled with care. I respect your space, follow instructions closely, and always prioritize your pet’s comfort and safety.

About: I've had dogs in my home my entire life, and owned several cats too. I understand that our pets are part of a family and they deserve the best care! I work from home and am home most weekends. I can easily add another dog in my home comfortably and provide them with individual attention. I have a safe, fenced in yard with plenty of space (and toys) for dogs to play and run around. My adult daughter is also home and is experienced and comfortable with dogs of all sizes.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Oakdale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 587 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.

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 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.

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
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.

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

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.
