About: I have been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I absolutely adore animals of all kinds, especially cats. I have experience caring for my kitty that had cancer, including providing subcutaneous fluids, medications/fluids/food through a feeding tube, and administering liquid, capsule, tablet, and transdermal medications. I also have experience with other feline medical issues, such as chronic urinary blockages and feline asthma. Further, I have never lived in a home without a dog, and have a background in animal behavior, training, grooming, and health. I have no problem providing medications to any animals and have experience with seniors. I love dogs of all sizes, especially huge dogs! I am available 24/7 and am extremely flexible with scheduling! I am fully self-employed and I have an extremely open schedule. I have no problem with short-notice cancellations or applications, and will almost always be able to take on your request! I will fully adapt to you and your pet’s schedule. My job is to maintain your pet’s wellbeing and enrichment, so that is what I’m there to do!

About: Had to make new account *** Hi, my name is Carson! I have been dog sitting for 10 years now. In high school I worked at Sidle Hill Farms (Dog boarding) in Southhaven, MS. I then gained clients and have been pet sitting from my home and others ever since. I have always dreamed of opening my own dog boarding and then remember I won't even take my own dog to be boarded! That is why I do what I do now, to nurture to love and to calm your pets nerves. I understand that it can be sometimes even more nerve racking for the owner then the pet... I am that owner! My husband Alex and I live in Oakland, Tn with a gorgeous fenced in yard as pictured. I work from home and usually never leave the house unless I go to Walmart up the street. We do not have any children and do not plan on it anytime soon! We are totally content with fur babies for now! A typical day at our home for your pet would include waking up in our bed, breakfast, mornings outside pending on weather (I have an outdoor desk), playing with millions of toys we can't seem to stop buying and of course when Alex comes home a walk around the neighborhood. We can't wait to meet you and your sweet fur baby! Dogs and cats are my whole life I care for them just as children. I love exercise and getting outside so pet care has come as a joy to me not just a chore. Dog walking, bathing, playing, co sleeping, cooking for pets if needed, taking them to groomers ect.. I am available to your pets needs as well as yours!

Mrs. Sarah was amazing with the babies and our little Harley normally takes a couple of visit by the time she warms up and stops barking at you but it didn’t take long (the same day ) she didn’t bark much. She attentive and sweet to the babies. Mrs. Sarah is definitely the pup whisperer 😁

About: I have been caring for dogs and cats since I was a young teenager. I’ve grown up around them my whole life. I had a high needs dog when she was elderly. She had cancer and was allergic to everything. She required regular baths with medicated shampoo, hypoallergenic food, regular ear cleanings for ear infections, lots of medication, doggy diapers, sprays, lotions, and lots of extra love. Because of all the experience I got caring for her, I had thought for long time I might want to be a vet. If your pet requires a little extra love, I am definitely the sitter for you. I absolutely love caring for all animals big and small, young and old. If you have additional smaller pets like hamsters, birds, reptiles, etc.. I will also gladly check on those pets for you while I am there for free! I would love to love on your furbabies ❤️ I have a toddler at home but a completely open schedule to come anytime. I am an early riser and get to bed late so I am very flexible. I will take plenty of pictures to send to you while you are out and will love on them like they are my own. I can crate animals as needed as well.

About: Hi! My name is Kayleigh and I am currently a sophomore in college working towards obtaining my associates in radiology. I have grown up around all kinda of pets my entire life! From my first dog when I was 3 to our foster babies my mom and I would take care of. I have always had a love for animals. I’ve volunteered at shelters and have even asked for donations to animal shelters instead of birthday presents for my birthday parties growing up. I say this, not to brag, or receive praise, but to explain how deep my love has gone for these precious creatures. I may be young and I may be new to the app but I can guarantee no one will love and treat your fur baby/babies better than me. I understand the importance of booking with a person you can trust. I have my own fur babies, 2 cats and 1 dog, and promise to treat yours like my own. I have experience dealing with pets from all ages. I’ve dealt with puppies and kittens and even have had experience taking care of senior dogs. I am currently a student in college who is unemployed. With that being said it gives me a very open and flexible schedule for when I am needed! If you are looking for dog care of I am willing to feed/ refill water, walk, bathe, play, administer meds and most importantly give love to your fur baby. If you are looking for cat care I am willing to feed/refill water, play, clean litter box and most importantly give love to your fur baby. I will treat yours pet like my own.

About: I’ve cared for pets my whole life and truly treat every animal like they’re part of the family. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, patience, and ability to adapt to each pet’s unique needs. I have experience with senior pets who need a little extra love and support, as well as high-energy pups who thrive on structured play and walks. I’m confident giving meds, handling multiple pets at once, and creating a calm, loving environment whether I’m stopping by for a quick visit or going to the park for a walk. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are always my top priority! Pet care fits perfectly into my weekly routine! I do this part-time, which allows me to give your pets my full attention when I’m with them. I’m available all day Sunday and Monday, late evenings on Wednesday and Friday, and early mornings on Thursday. Whether it’s a morning walk, dinner-time drop-in, or weekend stay, I make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and cared for during our time together. I stick closely to their normal routines—feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I’m respectful of your home and treat it with care, just like I do your pets. I always keep you updated with photos and messages so you feel confident and connected while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, secure, and happy every step of the way!

About: I’ve taken care of pets for most of my life. My family currently includes three medium to large dogs and four cats, so I have extensive experience with both. I am very comfortable with most animals and just love meeting new furry friends! I work full time, so weekdays are a bit difficult for me, but can provide limited services on Thursdays and Fridays in the afternoon or evening. I can provide whatever care is needed for your pet in your home for stop-in visits, walks, feedings, etc. I do not currently offer services in my home.

About: I've had pets and been around animals my whole life. Friends and family have relied on me for pet sitting numerous times while they were away on trips. I have my own fur babies -cats, dogs, and even a hedgehog - that I care for daily. As a teen I worked as a Vet Assistant where I learned to trim nails, administer medication, and more. I am a stay at home, homeschooling mom so I have a very flexible schedule to help care for others' pets as well as my own. I can provide the needed care such as food, water, and potty needs. I also have experience giving medication to animals since I was a vet assistant years ago, but most importantly I can love on my clients' pets and give them a great pet sitting experience.

About: I am very conscientious and caring. I have owned and cared for a lot of different animals. I will put your mind at ease and will work with you for the top quality care of your pet. I have a wide open daily schedule. I am an early riser and very flexible to meet your needs. I have a horse I visit and want to fill the rest of my time helping others with pet care. I have experienced firsthand how hard it is to get someone you can trust to look after your furry family and realize it is a need in the community. I currently work with my own two dogs every day to ensure they get the exercise needed and make their dog food from scratch so they remain healthy. I understand that your pet needs interaction and breaks from being by themselves while you are away. Commercial pet boarding just doesn’t cut it and takes them out of their safe familiar environment. Raising their stress levels. They don’t need that in your absence. I can take that stress away and make some friends in the process.

Danielle was amazing. I couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing care my dog Simba received. From the beginning, her communication was clear, professional, and friendly. She took time to understand Simba’s routine, personality, and needs. She updated me with pictures and videos which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Danielle as a dog sitter for anyone looking for reliable, compassionate, and trustworthy pet care! Thanks Danielle!

About: I have been asked to pet sit for neighborhood families multiple times in the past. Everyone who knows me knows that I love and care for all animals, big and small, fuzzy or scaly. People know that when they choose me to pet sit their pet is being treated like a member of the family even while they are away. I also was a member of my local shelter's doggy day camp when I lived in Knoxville. This program was a volunteer project that took shelter dogs out and about for a day of love and fun! I have some experience with giving medications and injections to dogs, cats, and snakes. I also have experience with senior dogs (one of my own is nearly blind and deaf). I can take care of reptiles and mammals (anywhere from ferrets to puppies) and I am currently working towards becoming a certified veterinary technician to help better care for animals' needs. At the moment my schedule is completely free for any service required! If needed I can stay at your home and provide around the clock supervision or just stop by every few hours. I can provide your pet with walks, outtings, and playtime as often as you desire! I am open to flexible, short-term, long-term, and last minute requests, but clients that book first will get first priority. There are a few nearby parks that my dog and I like to visit to get some exercise in. My dog Luna loves to play with other dogs and have fun! I am absolutely willing to do a little traveling and take your buddy to their favorite parks or even research to find new pet friendly spots for them to explore!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Oakland

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 314 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:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
