Katie has been Simi’s day sitter since May 2024. Simi is a strong, stubborn, 90 lb female German Shepherd and Katie keeps her in line during their walks. She gives her time to sniff her ‘messages’ and enjoy being out. I am thankful for Katie!

Laci took such great care of my pup while I was gone at work everyday. He loved her instantly because she spent the entire visit playing with him and giving him lots of love. I truly appreciate her for treating my pup as if he were her own ❤️

About: Hi! My name is Alexa and I live in Lebanon with my Fiancé and 3 babies, Medusa, Beau, & Zeus. I have been devoted to animal care taking since a very young age. I grew up with mainly American Bullies, Pitbulls, & Frenchies so I have a deep understanding of their every need. But, I love all dogs as if they are my own! I can assure you that your pet will be in good hands with not only one, but two people in the house who work from home! They will be fed on a schedule just like my babies are, out to potty and for walks, play time with any toy they would like or they can even try the enrichment toys, bath time if they need one, and last but not least they can lay in their doggy bed or on my bed/couch! My fiancé and I currently work from home to be able to fit your pets schedule! With a commitment to you & your furry baby, my schedule is designed to fit their every need. Whether it's early morning walks, mid-day treats, or even late night cuddles, I will accommodate their every need. You can be rest assured that your baby is in good hands in with pictures throughout the day and always being able to reach me whether that be a phone call or text message to my phone, I am always available to your every need! In my home, your dogs safety and trust mean the world to my fiancé and I. We have created a secure environment for you baby to feel like they are right at home. I am always available to both you & your pet at your every need. With staying in my home, they will always have a stress free environment to receive the love and attention they deserve.

We had never used Rover before and were very nervous to try it, but Jen instantly put our minds at ease! She sent tons of cute videos and pictures and cared for our cat as if she was her own pet. And our cat warmed up to her almost instantly and loved her visits. We had never left our cat alone before, and Jen took a situation that was very stressful for us and turned it into an extremely positive experience

Isabel was fantastic!! I was nervous about leaving my cats for two weeks, but she took care of them so well and I felt very at ease thanks to her! She arrived to the meet and greet with her own special forms to take notes, was extremely detailed, and so sweet with the kitties :) Would definitely book again in the future!!

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and animals my entire life and have had over 12 years of daily hands on experience caring for my own dog. I’ve also helped friends and neighbors with walking, feeding, potty breaks, and drop in care. I currently work with children, so I’m responsible, patient, dependable, and comfortable handling different personalities and needs. I treat every pet with the same care and attention I would want for my own. I work part time Monday through Friday in the afternoons from 2 pm to 6 pm. I’ll start working full time in the summer. However, until June I can conduct my services in mornings. I’ll always be available evenings after 7:00 PM I greet the pets by petting them as soon as I enter the clients home. I will then let them out and will wait until they are by the door to let them in. I also actively supervise the animals and don’t let them leave my sight while being on the clients property. I make sure they are inside the clients home and their cages if one is required before leaving the clients property.

About: I am a Division 1 soccer player that manages time very well. With that, I am very active and responsible. I grew up with dogs my whole life and had to end up taking care of 2 of my senior dogs. They were a lot to take care of but, that didn’t matter to me as long as they were feeling loved. We have adopted 2 puppies within the past 3 years, so I do understand the commitment it takes to keep them in order. I have taught my puppies tricks, like sit, shake, spin and lay down! I do work part-time in the restaurant business so my shifts only last 4-5 hours max. I am very active, so I get my puppies walked usually 2-3 times a day. Whenever I am pet sitting, I make the pet my priority. I usually plan my schedule on what I have to do around the pet I am sitting. I provide safe, loving care tailored to each pet’s routine. In clients’ homes, I keep their routine consistent with feeding, walks/litter care, and lots of attention, plus regular updates for peace of mind.

About: I've been around dogs since I was 10 years old and have always had a love for animals. I have a dog of my own, so I understand the care, patience, and attention they need every day. I've also cared for dogs for friends and family, including feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I'll treat every dog like they're part of my own family and make sure they receive plenty of love and care. Pet care fits very well into my routine. I'm currently finishing my BSN through an online program, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I'm available most mornings, afternoons, and many evenings, allowing me to provide plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I'm happy to work with pet owners to accommodate their schedules and make sure their pets receive the best care possible. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions carefully while making sure each pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I understand that pets are often most comfortable in their own environment, so I strive to provide reliable, loving care that helps them feel safe while their owners are away. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: I bring extensive professional experience in animal care and behavior, including years in shelter leadership and hands-on behavior work with fearful, anxious, and reactive animals. My background includes behavior assessment, stress reduction, enrichment planning, and individualized care for dogs who struggle with transitions, confinement, or unfamiliar people. I am especially comfortable working with dogs who need structure, patience, and clear communication rather than force or correction. I prioritize low stress handling, predictable routines, and meeting dogs where they are emotionally, not just physically. My goal is always to keep animals safe, supported, and understood while their people are away. I maintain a flexible, well-managed schedule that allows me to accommodate a wide range of client needs, including weekdays, weekends, and varying visit times, with appropriate advance notice. I care for pets by balancing structure with relationship-building. I focus on creating predictable routines, clear communication, and calm expectations while also prioritizing rapport, confidence, and emotional safety. I pay close attention to body language and stress signals and adjust care in real time to meet each pet where they are emotionally. Rather than forcing compliance, I help animals work through fear, overstimulation, or uncertainty at a pace they can handle. Whether in my home or a client’s home, my goal is to create a low-stress environment where pets feel safe, understood, and supported, which allows genuine progress and trust to develop. My pets at home enjoy structure along with play and lots of quiet time. My dog, Albany, enjoys finding hidden treats in a fenced backyard. My three cats, Duchess, Wanda, and Addie, enjoy plenty of naps, wand toy play time, and many hours of cuddling and watching tv.

About: I think it’s very important that dogs get their daily exercise! It’s always a bonus for treats. They need their playtime and I ensure they are happy! I would like the flexibility to be able to care for dogs after my full time job Monday through Friday. Mostly evenings will be beneficial for me. I think dogs deserve to be loved and shown attention! I ensure they don’t get into anything they shouldn’t eat and that they are shown affection as well.

I asked to drop in and let my 90lb Lab out during lunch times. She sent pics and updated me on how he was doing. She did a great job and I know gave my doggie some extra loving while we were gone. Absolutely will recommend to anyone and will request her again!

About: Hi my name is Allison. I am a young professional living in Milford, Ohio. I work as a marketing coordinator for a small company based in Cincy! In my free time I enjoy reading, journaling, yoga, and spending time with my cat, Mimi! She is almost a year old and the absolute love of my life. 🥰 I want your pet to feel just as loved as mine during my visits. I have extensive experience with cats, kittens, dogs, and rabbits. Growing up my family always had a pet (sometimes multiple!) and we were always caring for sick or injured animals. I am a huge animal lover because of this and could not imagine not having a furry best friend. 🐈 I look forward to hearing about your own fur baby and how I can best care for them! Thank You. Animals I are for: -Dogs and puppies -Cats and kittens - Rabbits, hamsters and guinea pigs - small aquatic animals Starting June 29th, I will be available during the week, weekends, and evenings if required. I am headed back to school in the fall and between jobs at the moment, so I can give your pet my full attention! As I prefer to take care of pets in their own home I will gladly partake in any of their daily activities! Having a routine will be greatly appreciated when I watch your fur babies, so let me know what they love (and don’t love) to do.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 626 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Oakland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

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

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Oakland. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

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.
