“Robyn was so delightful to have !!! From the meet and great where she asked all the right questions and got on my dogs level to say hello, to the adorable photos she sent from her check ins . It was our wedding day and she made it possible for my Now husband and I to not stress about our fur babies at home. Thank you so much Robyn , you are a blessing. 💖”
“Lori is fabulous! She took EXCELLENT care of our babies. We even forgot to get a preferred treat for our dog to take her pills in and Lori went out of her way to get it so our girl wouldn’t be sad. She went above and beyond! All of our animals (even our most skittish cat) loved her immediately. Her daily updates after every visit made us feel so at ease during our trip. Also normally after a trip our babies are standoffish or SUPER clingy and they’re acting as if we haven’t even been gone. She made their lives feel normal and kept their routine. This was our first time using Rover, and we’re so very pleased with Lori’s care for our babies! We will definitely use her sitting services again.”
About: Licensed veterinary technician, I have experience in Veterinary Emergency for 2 years and General practice for a little over 1 year. I also did about 3 months in shelter medicine, but my heart was a little to hurt by the things I seen to stay very long. I have 4 cats and a dog of my own. I perfer cats but I have no fear of bigger breed dogs or the little guys. Pitties are my second favorite breed. I dont mind walks baths or giving a few extra cuddles. I am working full time in a small family owned animal clinic. I am around pets every day for 10 hours. I then come home to my 4 cats and 1 dog whom I love more then anything. My dog is fed twice a day and its on medications so giving medications is never a concern for me. My cats spend most of their day playing until I come home and we cuddle, the doggo is always right beside me.
About: As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust. I have experience with daily routines, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and giving pets the attention they deserve. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and fun experience for every animal I care for. I currently work from home, so I spend a lot of time with our dog, Emmy, fiancé and our baby. We are usually pretty free on the weekends as well We have a fenced yard and would love to have another dog to come hangout with our cockapoo! We have plenty of toys, space and time for playing
“Lauren always does a fantastic job with our crew. Today she came on approximately 24 hour notice to do a drop-in visit while we were unexpectedly out of town for the day. She’s always on time, follows the instructions, asks questions when needed, and cleans up after the pups. We love Lauren!”
About: I have been the family pet sitter since I was a teenager, and I have a love for animals of all shapes and sizes. Even snakes and bugs i currently am working part time, and looking for a side job and can fit almost any schedule given my work schedule weekly. Im free 5-6 days of the week most times. Attentive and controlled pet care. I am always making sure the pets are safe, happy, and comfortable in the home. While walking keeping the pets close to me is something i firmly believe in.
About: Love taking are of pets! I’ve had experience with caring for pups to seniors. I currently own 2 dogs now that I love so much! I’ve had dogs that have needed medication etc. I’m a teacher with afternoons off and I would love to check-in with your dog in the afternoons after work. Caring for your dog would be fun! I’m also available on weekends for various services. My dogs are crate free throughout the day but can be crated if needed. They love to roam around my home and enjoy walks daily!
About: I have had dogs for most of my life. At a very young age I fell in awe with my four legged friends! I have cared for my own dogs from puppies till their senior years of life, with care and compassion. I have three amazing dogs currently one is young (Shasta) and the two are my seniors (Phelan and Joey). I have rescued most of my pets, and I have had the ability to train and rehabilitate some. Every single one of them have always had the utmost care, love and respect individually, no matter the breed. I am currently working as a mobile notary and set my own schedule, which allows me the flexibility and time needed to meet the needs of pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I will care for your pet as if they were my own. I know firsthand how stressful it can be to trust someone other than yourself to meet the needs and care of your fur babies. I will follow your directions and guidance to always make sure that I am meeting the specific requirements of care and need for each one of your pets individually. Communication is key!
“Red has been a lifesaver with Fizzy and Gabe. She takes tender care with both of them and it is a comfort knowing she has been here with them while we've been gone all day.”
About: I’ve taken care of a wide variety of animals, including dogs 🐕 , cats 🐈 ,rats 🐀, chameleons 🌈 , iguanas 🦎 , and birds 🐥. Currently, my family has five cats 🐈⬛ (four of which are mine), two dogs 🐶 (a Rottweiler and a Lab Mix), two birds 🦜(a Conyard and an Amazon parrot), and a large Sulcata tortoise 🐢 . I also have a jumping spider 🕷️ . I’m well-versed in all aspects of animal care ❤️🩹and have a lot of patience 🤗. I’ll give your pets all the love and attention they need. 💕 I’m currently between jobs because I recently moved here. So, my typical morning routine involves opening the blinds, feeding my cats, and checking on my spider. I would treat my clients’ animals as if they were my own and would adapt to the specific needs of each pet as per the client’s instructions.
About: I have years of experience taking care of dogs from neighbors, friends, and families. I love spending time with them, having fun, and making sure all dogs are taken care of! I currently work part-time which gives me more than enough time to spend with your pets and ensuring they are cared for. I’m usually home if I’m not at work. My yard is fenced and I usually keep my dogs in my house if they aren’t playing or using the bathroom. Their food is always refilled and prepared. I can buy toys if needed
About: I have loved dogs for as long as I can remember, and my passion for canine care began at age 14 when I first learned the fundamentals of training and responsible pet ownership. Since then, I have personally raised two dogs from nine-week-old puppies into adulthood, giving me hands-on experience with developmental needs, safety, and attentive daily care. Animals naturally sense my calm demeanor and feel comfortable around me, allowing me to build instant trust and keep them at ease. In addition to raising my own companions, I regularly help pet parents understand canine behavior and basic training through positive, clear communication that works seamlessly for both dogs and their owners. As a current student, my daily routine is structured to ensure your pets receive reliable, dedicated care without disruption. I have excellent availability early in the morning before classes, typically between 5:00 AM and 8:00 AM or 11:00 AM depending on the day. After classes wrap up, I am fully free for afternoon and evening visits starting after 12:00 PM on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and after 5:00 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays. As long as visits fall around these regular class windows, I can seamlessly accommodate walks, feedings, and drop-ins throughout the week. I also have zero issues providing overnight care and weekend coverage, giving your pets consistent attention, company, and love while keeping their routines completely on track. Because I am currently in school, I do not offer pet boarding in my own home. Instead, I specialize entirely in in-home pet sitting and drop-in visits, allowing your pets to stay comfortable, secure, and stress-free in their own familiar environment. When caring for your pets in your home, I treat your personal space with the highest level of respect, care, and cleanliness. My primary focus is making sure all of your pet’s essential needs are met meticulously, from precise feeding schedules and fresh water to maintaining clean living areas and administering medication if required. Beyond the basics, I pay close attention to each animal’s unique personality and follow any extra instructions to the letter, ensuring they receive plenty of exercise, playtime, and dedicated companionship.

Right now I am on leave for quite a while so everyday any day will work for me. I will be around the dog 24/7 and make sure they are happy and taken great care of. I have a fenced back yard and a fenced play area in the basement where dogs can run around and play without getting too hot because outside in the hot sun all day.
About: I’ve had animals my whole life. I can administer medications (both oral & syringe), give baths, play/walk them, cuddle them or whatever your fur baby may need!

I live in a one bedroom apartment with me dog and one cat! Bailey is friendly and Nik is an orange cat so he usually keeps to himself! I can crate your baby if you need/want. If you have a fenced in yard I can play with your animals outside!
About: Hi! My name is Isabella Lee, and I LOVE animals! I grew up always having pets of my own, from dogs and cats to bunnies, birds, Guinea pigs, and turtles. Then I started pet sitting/dog walking for others when I was 10 years old. I also grew up on various family farms, and spent every moment I could outside with the animals, riding horses, feeding pigs, and chasing/being chased by goats and cows. I have extensive experience with many different types, sizes and ages of both dogs and cats. Whether you need someone to go for walks around the neighborhood, visit the dog park, or just play around the house, I really love whatever furry friend I'm with! I really try to make your pets my first priority! I make an effort to follow whatever schedule the pets are normally used too. I do have a second business of my own, but it’s all remote from my computer and the hours are 100% dictated by me, which leaves me flexible and available most of the time! I try to comply with whatever the pet parents request/require. I don’t do boarding so whatever the house rules are at your home, those are the ones I follow.
About: Hi, I’m Moriah! I’ve been caring for animals for most of my life and grew up in a home filled with a variety of pets. Because of that, I’m very comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and care needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your home and your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own with patience, love, and attention to detail. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. My barista shifts are short and during the day, which gives me flexibility and ensures I’m not gone for extended hours. This allows me to prioritize regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and one-on-one attention throughout the day. I have options to either stay over night with your pets or to just do check in with them while you are away. Specially tailor to what you and your pets need. I try to stick to your pets schedule just to make it a smooth process for them.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 3,233 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Oaklawn. 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.

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.
