House Sitting Oaklawn

“Deborah did an awesome job with our little mini dashund for a 5 day trip. She was appropriately communicative so we didn't have to worry about our little dude and he was very well cared for, as was the house!”

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and currently have three dogs of my own—a 10-year-old Husky, a 4-year-old Malamute, and a 5-year-old Golden Retriever. Caring for three large dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs has given me plenty of hands-on experience with walking, exercise, feeding, routines, and lots of attention. I’m especially comfortable handling larger, energetic breeds and understand that every dog has their own personality and pace. Whether your dog loves a long walk or just needs some fresh air and companionship, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets. I’m available throughout the week for walks and drop-in visits, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Since I care for three dogs of my own every day, pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I’m also happy to work with your dog’s normal schedule whenever possible. I’m a stay-at-home dad, proud dog dad to three wonderful dogs, and a lifelong animal lover! My Husky, Malamute, and Golden Retriever are a huge part of my family, and caring for them has taught me just how much love, patience, and attention every dog deserves. Being a stay-at-home dad has given me the opportunity to spend more time doing what I love, and I’m excited to make Rover a part of my everyday life. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs, getting outside for walks, and making sure every pup feels happy, comfortable, and cared for. With three large dogs of my own, I’m very comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, especially strong, energetic breeds. I also understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’ll always take the time to get to know your dog, follow your instructions, and make their safety and comfort my top priorities. I know how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your dog is being treated with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member!

“We had an amazing experience with Alivia and would recommend her to everyone looking for a dog sitter! She took such good care of our dog while we were gone. He’s kind of anxious around new people and she was so kind and patient with him, she sent us videos of him wagging his tail and being goofy :)”

“Lauren is amazing! It’s never easy leaving your fur baby, especially with someone new, even for a short time and entrusting your pet and home to someone. Lauren completely put all concerns to rest. She is totally focused and devoted to your pet. Excellent communication, txt msgs, photos, videos! Milo is an anxious little guy especially when it comes to me being gone, but he warmed up to her really well for the first time. I would definitely ask her back again without hesitation! Thank you Lauren for taking such good care of Milo and my home, you are a gem🥰”

“Highly recommended! Trevor was very communicative and flexible with an in-house sitting despite living a considerable distance away from us. Our home and dogs were well cared for and we received frequent updates and photos of the dogs.”

Skylar F.

“Erin was great with Lily and Willow while we were away. She accommodated our unexpected travel schedule and checked in to give us comfort while gone. Willow hads allergy-related paw issues and she addressed them as instructed and also noted how it progressed or lessened. Both our girls loved her and we'd have her back in a heartbeat. She watched them in our home, and the house was tidy and well cared for. Thank you, Erin!”

“We’ve worked with Mickayla before, and have a future housesitting scheduled as well. Mickayla is communicative, reliable, and shows great care for our dogs. We’re grateful for Mickayla!”

I don't do pet care in my own home I am sorry for the inconvenience and I hope you understand. Have a blessed day.

About: I’ve had a deep love for animals for as long as I can remember! I have experience as a dog walker, house sitter, and cat sanctuary caregiver, and I genuinely love making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I take pride in being attentive to the little details and making sure each pet’s individual needs and routines are cared for. I love playing with dogs, going on walks, and spending time with all kinds of animals. After working at a cat sanctuary for a year, I have a special place in my heart for cats and plenty of experience caring for them with patience and love. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets like they’re my own! I am a full time student online earning my degree in Biology. So, I have plenty of time to take care of your baby. I am available weekends and weekdays to give your baby plenty of love and care. I provide care in the client’s home, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s usual routine for feeding, playtime, walks, medications if needed, and plenty of attention and affection. I’m respectful of the client’s home and take pride in keeping everything clean and tidy. Most importantly, I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while their family is away.

About: Hi, I’m Michelle! I grew up in Mexico with animals around me for as long as I can remember. I’ve had dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, hamsters, and turtles. My brother even had snakes and spiders! Animals have always been part of our family, and I believe caring for them starts with both love and respect. I’m a cat person at heart. Connecting with a cat feels special to me, whether we click right away or need a little time to get to know each other. I’ve also lived with dogs my whole life, and I love their company. A walk through a beautiful park always helps me relax, and it’s even better with a dog by my side. I’m a graphic designer, so I spend a lot of time on my laptop. Outside of work, I enjoy watching movies, exploring parks, hiking, and practicing yoga. I also love visiting museums and galleries whenever I get the chance. I’m new to Rover, and I’d love to meet you and your pets! I’m punctual, tidy, and happy to follow the routines that help them feel at home. Pets are family, and I know how much it means to have someone you can count on looking after them. My days usually include a mix of design work on my computer and getting outside for a walk. Pet care fits nicely into that rhythm, and I enjoy having animals around while i'm working. Before we book, let’s talk about your pet’s usual day—when they eat, when they go out, and how much company they need. I’ll let you know what my schedule looks like so we can make sure it works for everyone. I’ll follow your instructions, keep their food and water areas clean, stay on top of litter boxes, and be careful with doors, gates, and leashes. I’m tidy myself, so I’ll treat your home with care. I’m most comfortable with friendly pets, but they don’t have to love me right away! I’m happy to give them space and let them come to me. I’ll send photos and little updates while you’re away, and reach out if anything seems off.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with lots of experience caring for dogs and cats. I’ve previously walked dogs through Rover, cared for dogs in my own home, and grown up around family pets. I also raised my own cat from a kitten, which taught me just how much love and attention our furry friends need <3 🩷 PLEASE read. I have a very cute and cozy home, however, it is small. Therefore, in terms of house sitting, I can only accommodate SMALL dogs or medium (if you feel comfortable with your pup staying in a small home). The smaller the house, the more the love though 🩷 I’m doing pet care full time, so I can dedicate my time and attention to making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved! Whether we’re going on walks, spending time playing, or just enjoying some cuddles, I’ll ensure every pet in my care to feel right at home. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! 🐾💕 I’m doing pet care full-time, which means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pets! I’m able to plan my day around their routines, if that means walks, drop ins, feeding, or keeping them company. I’ll ensure your pets get the attention they deserve while you’re away. 🐾 Please note (it’s listed in my bio) that my home is small! I would love to care for your creature in my home, but can only accommodate small dogs. I have a cozy backyard for dogs to play and enjoy some outdoor time, along with a walkable neighborhood and Gabriel Park and Metzger Park nearby for walks and exploring! I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine and tailor our time together to their personality and needs.

“Billi was such amazing help housesitting our 2 big crazy Malinois pups. He kept them active and happy all weekend which isn’t always an easy task! We don’t really feel comfortable leaving them with anyone, but he made us feel very supported! I’d recommend him to anyone and we are definitely excited about booking with him again!”

Brianne D.

“Erica watched our two “Velcro” Frenchies for several days and is fantastic! She communicated with us to let us know how things were going daily and was very respectful while staying in our home. I would definitely recommend her to babysit your pet!”

Jackie J.

“Eliana was caring, professional, communicative, responsible and our two schnauzers loved her! House was neat, dogs were happy and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We will definitely be asking for Eliana again!”

“My dog had a great time playing and snuggling with Frank. Frank was able to get my fussy dog to mostly take his eye and ear medicines on their first stay together, which is an accomplishment. Frank communicated regularly while house/pet sitting.”

Kimber N.

“Nadia was so great to work with. She made our dogs feel comfortable and gave frequent updates and photos. She is easy to communicate with and was able to navigate our complicated situation with our 4 dogs and handled our reactive dogs super well! We will always choose Nadia moving forward to trust with our babies!”

Crysta C.

“Came home to a happy pup! Got some great pics and regular updates.”

Linda M.

“Melanie was great! Very trustworthy and I really appreciated her clear communication and pictures of our dog. She was very game for doing what was needed for our little pug, including giving her medicine and eye ointment. We will definitely call on Melanie again!”
