Pet Sitting Oakdale

“I really appreciated Lauren's care for our cat Mimi while we were away. I felt at ease knowing that she was in good hands in our absence. Leaving your pet can be nerve-wracking, but Lauren made sure to keep me updated on how Mimi was doing and made sure to give her adequate playtime during visits. I highly recommend.”

“Justine was great! Came to our house ahead of time to meet our very shy cat. She was prompt with updates and lots of photos. She even got our kitty to let her scratch and pet him! Highly highly recommend.”

“Katey is lovely and responsible and I knew my kitty cat was in good hands. It is wonderful to be able to travel and not worry about my kitty. Katey takes lots of sweet photos too. Thank you Katey!”

“Marna was reliable and took great care of our kitties while we were away. She also went out of her way to open a plant delivery that arrived late and watered it for me, which was really appreciated. We would definitely recommend her.”

“Madeleine was great with my golden Layla! I sent a last minute booking and she was very timely with her response to my rover request and followed all instructions given!”

“Maureen took care of our elder cat babies while we were away for the holiday. She walked us through the entire process and was very knowledgeable. We had never used this type of service before, but it was necessary due to daily meds. Maureen was easy to get ahold of and we felt our quirky cat babies were in good hands.”

About: Animals have always been the center of my world, from growing up with pets to pet-sitting countless dogs and cats across NYC. My two cats, August and Ivy, are the absolute loves of my life - My goal is simple: to provide your beloved pets with the exact same high standard of care, safety, and affection that my own two companions receive at home. I work in the office 3 days a week, but I have an hour for lunch and live only 7 min from my office. If close enough I will be able to check in midday as well as morning and after work. I have a fenced yard, though my cats are indoor only I have taken care of my neighbors dogs and enjoy playing fletch for round after round after round. I am organized and will have notes based on what you need for each drop in, will supply pictures, be there on time and stay the whole time. Having used rover myself I know how integral these things are!

“Alejandro was great!”

“Stacey came to my house every two days to care for my 2 cats. She completed everything that we asked her to do and was responsive to texts. She made sure to send photos every visit. The cats appeared happy to have someone visit them.”

“Meaghan is a gift to us! She does drop in visits for our three pups when I travel, and does an outstanding job. She’s reliable and communicative and puts me at ease. She loves the pups (who are quite energetic), and I can tell they love her, too. Highly recommend and will keep having Meaghan back!”

About: I grew up with three dogs, a cat, and a bird, and am very comfortable around all animals. Additionally, I have worked with anxious dogs and reactive dogs. Currently, my family owns two cats, and I enjoy hiking, crafting, and exploring new places! I am an upcoming senior at USM studying ASL/English Interpreting. I look forward to meeting your four-legged family members! I'm currently working part-time and am flexible regarding my availability - we can work together to make something work! I do have a couple of trips this summer, one in mid-June and one in late July. o In your home, I will follow your pets' typical routine and make sure to give them extra love while you are away :) I enjoy walks and hikes, and would love to bring your dog along! I have a large car and will happily take them on an adventure.

“Very responsive. An obvious dog lover. I’m excited to rebook Jennifer.”

“Jess is GREAT! She very quickly gained the trust of our senior and special needs dog. He is comfortable with her and benefits from her visits every week! She is punctual, trustworthy, sends updates, flexible schedule, communicates clearly and quickly, and we feel she truly loves our dog. It is very difficult to find someone who would care for your pet as you would and we are so grateful for Jess!”

About: Middle-school teacher with extra time (and love) over the summer. New to Rover, but not to pet sitting! My primary experience is with my two cats, Norman (8yo) and Bucky (2yo), but I have been helping watch pets for family, friends, and neighbors in southern Maine for the past 8 years. I'm a middle-school teacher on summer break with plenty of extra time/love. I can be flexible with times/specific preferences and am open to all days of the week. I am caring, knowledgeable, and tidy and will treat your pets + space with the utmost respect and care. Drop-ins will be for 30 minutes unless longer is requested and agreed upon. Please do not hesitate to message me with any questions or concerns!

“I swear Emmy was Misty's mom in her past life - that is how much she loves her and is comfortable around her- which as an owner, is the best feeling. Emmy has watched Misty for 3 long trips (7+days) and a few other nights and we are always at ease during our time away because of her. She sends pictures, gives us updates if we ask, is comfortable taking her both on and off leash, has given her medications when required, and has had play dates with other friends & dogs, too. Our dog is so comfortable with her that she's always snuggled up to her and even perks up when we say Emmy is coming. Emmy is always our go-to when she is available !”

“Hannah was amazing. Super responsive, communicative and caring. Exactly what you want from someone watching your pets!! 10/10 recommend and will be using her again. Thanks Hannah!”

About: I’m a lifelong pet owner and caregiver with experience across a wide range of animals. Dogs have always been at the heart of my life—I currently own a senior dog named Ralphie, and my last four dogs were all adopted as seniors. I’m very comfortable with walking, feeding, administering medications, and following detailed care routines, especially for older pets. I also grew up in an extremely pet-centric household. At one point, my family cared for five dogs and four cats at the same time, so I’m very familiar with busy, multi-pet environments and the structure required to keep everyone healthy and happy. Beyond dogs and cats, I’ve helped care for fish (both freshwater and saltwater), reptiles and lizards, rodents, and birds, and I understand that each species has unique needs, routines, and sensitivities. I’m calm, attentive, and respectful of the fact that pet parents care deeply about how their animals are treated. My goal is simple: provide reliable, thoughtful care so your pets feel safe and comfortable—and you feel confident while you’re away. Please note that I also carry liability insurance above and beyond what is already offered under Rover’s guarantee policy. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I’m currently in between jobs, which gives me open and flexible availability for walks, drop-ins, and consistent care throughout the day. I enjoy building my schedule around pets’ routines rather than squeezing them into limited windows. Because of this flexibility, I’m able to accommodate morning, midday, evening, and weekend visits, as well as last-minute requests when needed. I value reliability and consistency, and I like knowing I can give pets my full attention without rushing. When caring for pets, I work exclusively in my client’s home, where pets are most comfortable and routines stay consistent. I follow all instructions closely regarding feeding, walking, medications, and household rules, and I’m very mindful of maintaining your space exactly as you left it. Safety is my top priority. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and harnesses are secure, double-check medications and feeding instructions, and remain attentive to any changes in behavior or health. I take a calm, respectful approach—especially with senior pets or animals who may be anxious or shy. I understand that trust is essential when someone is caring for your pet in your home. I communicate clearly, provide updates as requested, and treat both your pet and your space with care, responsibility, and respect.
