“We were gone for an extended vacation and Camille was wonderful with our cat! We were never worried about anything. Feel very lucky to have her as our sitter. :)”
“Jaina is absolutely amazing. This is the second time that she has cared for my cats and they LOVE her. I would definitely recommend Jaina to anyone who wants to ensure their pets are cared for.”
“Whitney was amazing! She watched our bunny while we were out of town for a week, and he was so well cared for. I appreciate how thorough and caring she is, and I’ll absolutely be booking with her again. I highly recommend booking with her!”
“Chris took excellent care of our cats while we were away. His daily updates made us smile and laugh and he took great pictures to let us know our boys were doing well. He was obviously very engaged during his check ins because it took him about a visit and half to have our cat’s personalities figured out. His communication and professionalism were top notch! We’d absolutely book him again.”
“Razan ta the best sitter I used so far. She went beyond the expectations for a drop-in. She took my dog for a walk during her visit. I really appreciate her professionalism and kind heart towards my dog and myself. I will definitely use her in the future.”
“Zanubia was super communicative and took good care of our 3 cats. She kept us up to date on which ones she saw (we have 2 that regularly hide with new people) and took cute photos of the ones she saw. Would use again and would recommend!”
“Alayna took great care of my pups on a stressful day! I was very thankful for her expertise, I definitely recommend her to anyone who needs help with their animals!”
“Lyndi has been so awesome for my boy. They laugh and play together like they're old pals. They hit it off from the get go and I can't tell whoever sees this how much it means to me. I deal with some gnarly anxiety and she has been unfailingly kind to me as well as a total pro with everything. I can't wait to book with her again!”
“Afia stepped in when our first sitter went MIA after we had already left for our trip and we were so grateful!! Our pup loved her, she was incredibly communicative, and I had no worries at all. Would definitely book again.”
About: I’ve been a pet parent myself for 10 years, caring for my own dog while looking after multiple cats. I’ve looked after friends and families animals so I am very comfortable stepping into new environments. I’ve gained hands on experience with pets that require medication (including pills, liquids, injections, etc). I’ve cared for animals of all ages and temperaments, from energetic puppies to senior animals who require a little extra patience. I love meeting each pet where they’re at. Whether it’s a gentle cuddle session or an energetic walk, i’ll match your pets energy making sure they feel loved and happy. I'm a student with a pretty steady routine, so I have reliable blocks of time for pet care. On weekdays, I'm free in the late mornings and early afternoons I have practice on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays but I'm back home by 9:30 AM. Weekends are more open, I always know my schedule ahead of time and can plan around it. I'm rarely away for more than a few hours at a stretch. I plan my week around confirmed bookings and make sure your pets care never overlaps with something else. When caring for pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible so they feel comfortable. I always leave the home clean and like to send updates (whether it’s a text or a photo) after visits so you know how things are going. If anything comes up (a change in behavior, a mess, or something out of the ordinary), I’ll let you know immediately. I treat every pet and home like i’d want mine to be treated.
About: I love dogs, cats and parrots. I have experience feeding, bathing, walking, playing and caring for friends, neighbors and my own animals. I know how important your fur babies are to you and I would love and treat your pet family as if they were my own. I have had 4 dogs for 12 years and 4 parrots for 25 years. I especially love to interact with animals getting on their level to play and cuddle. I love to walk and would play with them outside as they like. I know food can be so important. One of my strengths is organization and would follow feeding and any other instructions to the letter. I am happy to provide daily updates and pictures to give you peace of mind. Your home will be treated with care and left better than it was found. I work weekends and can spend time everyday with your pets. I am a chef and run my own business so when I am working I can take a break to check on your pets. My evenings are free and I can help your pet keep the routine they are used to. I have a fenced in yard and a fur baby who keeps to himself. There is plenty of space to run and play and also nap.
“Angelica was recommended to us by our normal cat sitter when she wasn’t available. She did a great job filling in and took charge of coordinating with our normal cat sitter for details since we were unavailable on travel. Thanks for the help!”
“Heaven did two drop in visits for me and sent amazing updates! She is very friendly with a calming presence. She was able to come at odd hours which is so appreciated! She sent photos where I could tell the dogs were both very calm and happy. If I ever need her help again I won’t hesitate to reach out!”
About: I have always had a special and loving loving place in my heart for animals and that love continues today. Growing up I’ve had all kinds of animals such as: dogs, cats, birds, chickens, and even a goat. I have experience with sitting for my neighbors and families for over 5 years now. I take them on walks and/or potty breaks, feed them and play with them. I have worked at an animal boarding and daycare facility for about a year and a half now. I love every second of it. Right now I am studying to become a veterinarian so I can help and care for as many animals as I can in my future. I have volunteer experience at the Hogle Zoo and Red Hill Animal Clinic. I would love the chance to get to you your pet and care for them! Monday-Wednesday and Fridays I can watch your pups after I get out of classes at 10:50. I can take them on walks or hikes and play with them throughout the day. I take dogs on 15-30 minute walks everyday or longer if needed. I will make sure they are feed and have water. I can medicate if needed.
About: I have had a love for animals since I can remember. I have 10 years of experience watching pets for family and friends. I am comfortable with providing medications if needed. I’m currently working full time from home, which allows me flexibility to care for your pets. I’m available for pet and house sitting 7 days a week including holidays (pending schedule). I have a reliable vehicle and flexible schedule that allows me to travel to clients homes to care for their pets in an environment that they are most comfortable. I’m happy to stay overnight if needed.
About: I have loved dogs and puppies since before I could walk. I was the main caretaker of a 4 year old dog since he was a puppy before I moved to college, and now that I’ve graduated I want to be able to care for dogs again! I absolutely love the outdoors, including going on walks or hikes and parks. I'm very energetic, hard working, and punctual! I'll try to get back as soon as I can on any sitter requests. Feel free to let me know any special requests with your dog, I'm pretty flexible.
About: I have had animals growing up since I was 5 years old. Ive lived with both dogs and cats. I have experience worth senior animals and giving them medication. I am currently between jobs at the moment. I am available from anytime during the week until Friday evening. I sadly cannot bring any pets into my home for watching. I love animals, so I will gladly play and walk them! I can also follow directions very well, so if you have an animal with special needs, I am more than willing to watch them.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Oakdale
Isabelle did a fantastic job taking care of our two cats while we were away for a week! She went above and beyond helping with mail, packages, and other things around the house. Most importantly, she spent plenty of quality time with our cats and made sure they were happy and well cared for. We’d absolutely book her again!
Chris seemed very attentive and reliable when it came to learning everything I was asking for, and making sure my cats stayed happy & healthy! He made fast friends with two of my cats, and left good reason to believe he was treating my 3rd with the proper care and patience, when I read his updates. He takes great photos and was easy going about an additional request I had for him that made my trip out of town the bee's knees - even though it was outside the scope of normal "cat" needs.
I can tell my 14 year old baby Hope really enjoys your drop ins while we are out. The pictures and videos you send, Hope acts like she has known you for years. So calm and sweet to her. You already know what her favorite things are haha. Highly recommend and will continue to schedule. Thanks Lyndi!! 💜

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Oakdale is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 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 November 2026, there are 4,362 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 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:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
