About: Hello, I am Sofia! I am currently completing my MS in Conservation Medicine at Tufts University! I have experience working as a veterinary technician with both dogs and cats of all different sizes and temperaments. I also have 10+ years experience working with over 20 different animal species, including some as large as camels and cows! I LOVE animals and am very kind, patient, attentive, and detail-oriented. I am currently completing remote work for my Master's degree, so I have ample time and flexibility!! I am available 7 days/week, any time of day. I strictly follow your house rules, ensure all doors and windows lock securely, and keep your key with you at all times. I do a perimeter check of fence gates before letting pets outside and keep counters clear of food or hazards. I maintain your pet's exact feeding and exercise routine to reduce anxiety and send daily photo updates so you have complete peace of mind.
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is something I truly love. As a certified veterinary assistant, I have hands-on experience with a wide range of animals, including dogs & cats. Their health, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities. Spending time with animals is incredibly rewarding, and I enjoy building trust with each pet through patience, kindness, and attentive care. Whether your companion needs a relaxing walk, playtime, or dependable care while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same love and respect I would my own. I’m available to make pet care apart of my natural routine. I will dedicate time each day for walks, feeding, play, exercise, and giving every pet attentive, loving care. I provide safe, enjoyable walks tailored to your dog’s needs, follow your instructions carefully, prioritize safety, offer fresh water if needed, and treat every dog with care.
“Kristin was so kind and helped us out last minute with a walk for our senior dog while we were out at a concert! Kristin was super communicative and came just when she said she would. Thank you so much, Kristin! Would definitely ask her again.”
About: Hi my name is Micaela and one thing about me is that I adore animals! I love all animals so very much. I also feel that I work really well with them. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life. Most of my dogs have been big dogs so I’m pretty good with handling any challenge that’s thrown my way. I’ve had more aggressive and protective dogs as well as laid back dogs and I’ve loved all. I’ve also worked at local shelters in my hometown and felt that that helped me gain more experience working with varying animals. I trained a couple of my dogs from a young age and though I’m not certified I felt that I did a pretty good job. I’m very patient and very genuine. I also watched my dogs whenever my parents would go on business trips which was quite often so I’d say this is the perfect job for me! I’m a college student but have majority of my classes online so my schedule is pretty clear. I love being outdoors and in nature so dog walking is right up my alley. I also love just chilling at home so I have no problem with that as well. I will always be respectful of others space especially if they are allowing me to stay in their home and watch their animals. I would say I’m a pretty neat person and don’t mind cleaning up if anything is needed. Genuinely it makes me happy to help others around the house if necessary. I used to babysit for a while and would always tidy up when I could find the time. I recently moved and now live with my grandparents and mom. We also have a chocolate lab who’s very energetic and loves to play. We have a fenced in yard and a conservation close to our house so there’s plenty of space for the animals. We love having dogs in the house.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. I also have my own two dogs that I walk and feed. As well one of my dogs take medication so I also know how to do that. I’m currently a college student and work part time at another job. Being able to take care of your pets will be the highlight of my week! I will make sure to take super great care of your babies. To make sure they are safe and have so much love! They will be in amazing hands.
About: I grew up in a house full of dogs, so caring for them has always been a huge part of my life. Because of that, I’m very comfortable with all types of personalities and energy levels, and I truly love spending time with them. I am very active - I run long distance and go for a lot of long walks. I work full-time during the week but am available before/after work and on weekends. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every dog like my own—making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for on every walk I work full-time 8-5 during the week but am available before/after work for visits/walks. I am also available on the weekends! I do my best to keep your pet’s routine exactly the same so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I’ll follow all feeding schedules, walk routines, and any specific instructions you provide. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, and I always keep your home clean and secure. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
“Cristy was very thorough in her notes and sent lots of photos! Zachary can be shy so the fact he enjoyed spending time with her says it all. We both highly approve and will rebook with Cristy next time I’m away!”
About: In all my 22 years of life, I have always had a dog and have assisted in feeding, bathing, and walking the dogs I’ve had. I’ve always been an animal person even considered becoming a vet at one point. Whenever I am at someone’s home, you can find me hanging out with their pet wether it’s a dog or cat or even a snake! In addition to walks on ROVER I make and sell custom stickers. Pet stickers are especially popular and my Etsy is ShopMomentsFromMichi I currently have a flexible schedule, please reach out to me a week in advance, so I can fit your pup into that schedule!! I do 20 hours of volunteer work a week and babysit, I plan each weeks work days/ volunteering days about a week in advance and would love to add your precious pet into that mix! I am looking to do dog walking and dropping in! I am open to taking your dog for a leashed walk around the neighborhood or drive them to a fenced in dog park if you’re comfortable with it!! Whenever I walk a dog I always bring myself and the dog water to keep us safe and hydrated.
About: I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and energy levels, from playful puppies who need patience and structure to senior pets who require a gentler routine and extra attention. I understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable in their normal environment, and I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I work a serving job at night, which leaves my mornings, afternoons, and much of the evening available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feedings, and quality time with pets. My schedule is flexible during the day, so I’m able to give pets consistent attention and stick closely to their normal routines. I’m also very active, so I enjoy spending time outdoors with dogs and making sure they get plenty of exercise and engagement. In a client’s home, I respect the pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions closely because I know pets are most comfortable in familiar environments. I’m attentive to behavior changes, medication schedules if needed, and making sure pets get enough activity and companionship throughout the day.
“Hailey is so kind and easy to talk to! She came over to meet us and receive instructions about taking care of our kitties. We are nervous new pet owners, and she made us and our kitties feel so comfy. I’m confident that they will be safe and well taken care of while we are away!”
“An absolute gem of a person - took the best care of goose and made sure he was all taken care of. I will have Tori be goose’s babysitter for as long as possible. If you want your pet to be in genuinely caring hands, book with Tori”

“Jon is a cat whisperer. A cat magnet. We were worried about leaving our two 1-1/2 year old cats for 10 days to take a family visit. There was absolutely nothing to be worried about. Even the very shy cat greeted Jon at the door every day and gave him nose kisses. Your pets deserve the care of Jon.”
“Heather was GREATTTT with my dog. She checked in consistently and responded quickly with no issues. I had no worries about my doggy at all I knew she was in great hands. She paid attention to her very well and updated us through the day. Book her and you’ll see!! 😊”

Maximillian kept us up to date on both our cat and dog throughout his visits with them. We felt very comfortable leaving them with him as we travelled across the world! He will be with them again later this month and we are very happy about it. Highly recommend!!
Keith is an angel who helped us during an emergency when our dog had separation anxiety on vacation. He went above and beyond. He is respectful, trustworthy, great with communication, and my dog absolutely loved him! An amazing person with a huge heart. Keith is the greatest of all time.

Nicole was amazing! I’m so excited to have found such a wonderful caretaker for my dog. Her communication was quick and friendly, and my dog clearly loved her immediately. Nicole sent videos and photos - and made me feel so at ease leaving my dog in her caring hands. I can’t wait to use her again!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Oakhurst stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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 Oakhurst 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.

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.
