“My two Aussie Cattle Dogs just loved Reggie to death. My little one is usually pretty shy with new people but on the first meeting she warmed up fast to her. When I returned home they were clean, well fed and very happy. She sent me photos of their walks and I feel very confident in her abilities to take care of my lovable monsters.”

“Ellen was fantastic with Clover. She came to do a “Meet and Greet” and then we walked Clover to the park. Clover immediately took to Ellen, and I would not hesitate to have her watch Clover again. I would highly recommend!”

About: I grew up with a household full of pets, and have cared for puppies, kittens, adult, and elderly animals. I believe in tailoring the care I provide to each animal’s needs and owner’s preferences. I have a full-time job, and am available most evenings and weekends. I work remotely on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so am able to provide walking services during those days. I care for every pet as if it were my own- which includes a little bit of interaction/play time to help each animal build their trust in me.
About: I have experience with larger dogs, small dogs, and cats as well. I help cater to any special needs or requests you may have such as administering medicine, special diets, and keeping you updated on their well being. Good for quick walks or staying with your pet overnight. I worked everyday in Brooklyn, NY as a dog walker/pet sitter from 2019 to 2023. I have since then been traveling around as a pet sitter for the last two years in-between taking care of some important family business. I have grown up raising German Shepherds all of my life and love to know that I am helping someone's day out by being able to care for their pet while they are not able to. I am currently available for any time and can even travel to you if needed for extended overnight stays. Your pet's needs come first for me. I will care for your pet at your home and follow the routine they are used to. Whatever makes them most comfortable is how I will take good care of them.
About: Hi everyone! My family and I are huge animal lovers. While we love all kinds of pets, cats and dogs hold a special place in our hearts. We are proud parents to Boo and Luna, our wonderful 6-year-old sibling cats, and Nena, our energetic, fun, and loving 1-year-old Black Mouth Cur mix. What We Offer: -Dog Walking: We love staying active! Walks can range anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour and a half, depending on the weather and your dog's energy levels. -Bathing & Grooming Support: I can easily accommodate special requests for baths. Having worked through bath-time anxiety with my own dogs, I have plenty of patience and personal experience making it a calm, safe process. - Drop-In Visits: I’m available for drop-ins to assist with feeding, play, or potty breaks—whatever your fur baby needs while you're away. - Boarding: I would love to host your dog in our home! To ensure a safe and happy environment for both your pet and ours, I require a quick initial meet-and-greet at my home first. If you have any questions or want to see if we're a good fit, please feel free to send a message. I'd be happy to chat! Im a stay at home mom with a lot of availability. I am able to provide one on one time. Walks, play, training if needed. I love all animals and I handle every pet and home with the upmost respect. I am attentive and thorough when visiting or watching your pet.
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with animals, including my own two large dogs, and my calm, patient approach to every pet I meet. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and needs, and I’m committed to making them feel safe, loved, and well cared for—whether it’s a quick walk or a longer drop-in visit. I’m reliable, flexible (including evenings, weekends, and holidays), and genuinely passionate about making your pet’s day better while giving you peace of mind. Being semi-retired gives me the flexibility to focus on what I enjoy most—spending quality time with animals. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I love giving pets the attention, companionship, and care they need while their owners are away. When caring for your pets in your home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I treat your space with respect and create a calm, loving environment where your dog or cat can feel secure. You can trust that your pets are in caring, capable hands while you’re away
About: I have had a dogs my whole life, and they are what brings me the most joy in life. My last dog Henry passed away almost 2 years ago and since then I have been fostering, which is super rewarding. I have also been volunteering with PAWS for 5 years, and am there every Friday morning to help care for the pups. I have had experience with all kinds of dogs from 80lb Pitties to teeny tiny Chihuahuas, from strays who are terrified when they arrive at the shelter to ones that have boundless energy and love on everyone. My camera roll in my phone is pretty much consumed with pictures of my shelter pups, who I feel so honored to be able to be part of their journey to finding their forever homes. It would be a privilege to add your fur baby to the long list of dogs that I have had the pleasure of having in my life :) I am a real estate agent, so I make my own schedule, and can easily fit caring for your pup around my showings and office time. I will be more than happy to travel to your home and spend some time with your pup. I can walk them, have yard time with them, play fetch or tug of war, feed them, pet them, and just generally spend some time with them while they wait for their humans to come home. If you have extra things that need to get done such as brushing, nail clipping, medicine to give etc, I can take care of that as well. Basically whatever you need done to make your pet feel comfortable and safe, I can handle. I appreciate the opportunity to be part of your pup's routine.

About: Caring for animals has been my life long passion. I treat every individual with respect, as if they were my own fur baby. I look forward to all animal interactions and I understand each animal needs tailored care, patience and love. I have volunteer dog walked all sorts of homeless pups in the last year through ACCT, pictured in my gallery. I also have extensive cat knowledge/experience. With some time spent in the vet med field. Looking forward to meeting your fur baby! Building clientele to be able to fully work with animals. I care for my own two cat babies daily and volunteer dog walk for homeless dogs every week. I treat all animals with compassion, respect and patience. I read animal body language well, respect boundaries and exercise patience whenever needed. Following your guidelines are most important to me.

“We’ve used Pamela several times for drop ins and she’s very thorough and sweet and provides great updates and photos. We trust she’ll take great care of the pups when we are out and we highly recommend her!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs of various sizes. I like to have play time with animals as frequent as possible. All animals deserve love and attention. I work full time Monday to Thursday. So my weekends are ready for play time with your pet. I like to stay active so taking your pet out to enjoy nature will be a blast. If I’m not in the gym on my spare time then I’m definitely cuddled up with a puppy. I have puppy friends for your pet to have a play date outdoors. I care for pets at my clients home because I’m willing to make the commute.
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life, from caring for my own Dalmatian to spending time with my family’s Weimaraner. I also work professionally with dogs at Philadelphia Pet Hotel, giving me hands-on experience with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I live in Center City and run every day, so I’m happy to keep up with dogs who love a good walk and plenty of exploring. I’m equally happy slowing down for a dog who prefers a leisurely sniff around the neighborhood. I pay attention to the individual dog and follow your instructions so their care feels familiar and consistent. On a personal note, I’m saving to welcome another Dalmatian into my life—a girl named Boo. Caring for your dog helps me work toward that dream while spending time doing something that means a lot to me. Until then, I have plenty of affection, patience, and energy to share with yours. I work at Philadelphia Pet Hotel and schedule Rover visits around my shifts. I’m available for walks and drop-ins during my free time, with more flexibility on days off. Before accepting a booking, I’ll confirm the timing so your pet gets the attention they deserve. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely, from feeding instructions to their preferred walking route. I’m careful with leashes, doors, and introductions, and I respect both your home and your dog’s boundaries. You can expect photos, updates, and clear communication so you know how your pet is doing.
About: I grew up with dogs, horses, and other farm animals. I have owned cats for 5+ years now. I prioritize safety, positive reinforcement, active play, and calm environments to set pets and humans up for success as we bond and spend time together. I’m well-experienced in walking/running dogs on a leash, cat and multi-cat household training, medication administering, healthy food & treat training, & animal hygiene. Im currently working part-time and mostly on the weekends. I’m extremely available for work-week care appointments. I can easily build care and walks into my schedule and be flexible as things change. I do not provide overnight care in my home. I am available for overnight care in clients homes, and I prioritize treating your space with respect and privacy. I clean up where I can while caring for animals and go the extra mile to make sure your home is spotless and your pet is safe and entertained while you are away. It’s important to me to be there as long as I can with your pet and to set up enrichment for them after I leave such as puzzles, automatic toys, cat tv, etc etc.

About: **Back from a pregnancy hiatus! Kids are now in school and I’m back at it with a passion for walking and for animals!** I’m happy to take your furry family member on as many walks as you would like! We can also play or get lots of belly rubs in a drop-in, whatever lifestyle your pet is into, I’ll take note and adapt. Personally, I’m very active so if you want to tire your dog out, I’m your go-to dog walker! I love running with dogs so for the high-energy furballs, we could do about a 3 mile run. I get along really well with animals in general, and haven't met a dog I haven’t loved. I’ll humbly say, I think they feel the same way :D I’m currently only providing dog walks and drop-ins, but I’m extremely reliable and punctual, and my schedule is very flexible at the moment so don’t hesitate to reach out even if your request is last-minute! Thanks! My kids are in school from 8:10-2:45, so I am 100% free and at your disposal during that time, from Monday-Friday. I could definitely fit in a weekend emergency as well! I follow individual instructions from pet owners regarding what their pet needs in a drop-in. I will meet each pet at their energy level and give as much love as I can while at it.
About: I was very fortunate to grow up around an abundance of pets- be it dogs, cats, birds, rodents, or even reptiles. Because of this, I have years of animal handling experience of all kinds, and have even raised puppies. I am an avid walker averaging around 15 miles a day for fun, so if your little guy needs walking, I would love to help out. I will be working a full-time in-person job until July 31st, but am available weekends and evenings. Starting in August, I will be working remote which will allow me a lot more flexibility with watching your baby! Your home is your rules, and we will abide by it. That means if there are no animals allowed on the furniture, we will do just that. I can provide walking, litter box cleaning, feeding, and I can play with your animals. If more is needed, we can absolutely talk about that and I would love to help!
“Rachel was the best! Prompt, professional, responsive, happy, and so willing to go the extra mile for two dogs who were freaked out after a cross-country move and too much unfamiliar stuff and strange surroundings. They loved her immediately. Couldn't ask for a better dog (or human) friend.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Oaklyn
Brineydi has been such a life saver with our new puppy Roux ! We never used Rover before her and honestly feel like we've hit the jackpot for pupcare. She does drop in visits to let our dog out and play. She's always punctual, communicative, and I LOVE receiving the detailed updates/photos with every visit. Briyendi is becoming one of Roux's favorite parts of the day 😌🐾

Emilyann was great with Luke, and he seemed to really look forward to her visits. I am thrilled that they got along so well. I am delighted to have Emilyann take care of Luke in his own home, where he's most relaxed! Emilyann is great with animals, very calm and confident! I will utilize her skills again!
Where to start? She was amazing. Went above and beyond. Even walked my baby in the rain. We appreciate everything you did and all the love you have to our Sadie and cats. You're the best. Thanks again for everything. Truly made us feel that our pets were in great hands

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Oaklyn is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $37 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 8,881 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Oaklyn. 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.
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 Oaklyn 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. 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 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.
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.
To find sitters in Oaklyn with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Oaklyn. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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 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.
