About: Caring for pets is my passion. I'm a veterinary assistant with experience in general practice, emergency/critical care, and medical oncology. I have also volunteered as a puppy sitter for Guide Dogs for the Blind, an organization dedicated to helping the visually impaired community. Growing up, I always helped family, friends, and neighbors care for their pets, and I began my professional career in veterinary medicine at 19 years old. My beloved dog Dovey crossed the rainbow bridge recently. I would love to offer pet sitting/dog walking services to help you, and to help heal my heart. I am currently available for pet sitting service in your home, and dog walking service. I am currently looking for full time employment. Availability is subject to change when I begin working full time. My priority is making your pet feel safe and comfortable. I am well versed in animal behavior and reading their body language. I always approach pets in a calm, gentle manner.
“Stephen and his family are the absolute best! My dogs were obviously comfortable and excited to see them daily. I received photos and updates every day, and am so happy to have trusted sitters. I would highly recommend them!”
About: On a personal level, I have cared for and been family with dogs my entire life. As I got older, I found my current dog who has transformed my love and respect for dogs into something indescribable. After rescuing her at 3 months old, I have trained and raised her into a beautiful and fully-realized working-line dog. I have experience in advanced training of dogs that ranges from day-to-day obedience to scent imprinting and mind puzzles for high-drive/working breeds that require the mental stimulation. Regardless of your dog's personal needs, I will ensure that those needs are met and addressed in a fulfilling and rewarding way that will leave them feeling loved and satisfied. Depending on the week, you can expect to see me available up to five times in a week! I will do weekends and holidays without question. Every pet has their own specific and individualized needs. This knowledge will help me determine what is needed for your pet, such as longer/fast-paced walks to exercise a high-drive breed or a leisurely stroll for the beloved seniors. Drop-Ins will entail evaluating your pet's needs and addressing them accurately and satisfactorily.
About: I’ve always had dogs of all ages and breeds in the family. It is fulfilling giving dogs their best life possible. We will treat your dogs like part of our family. I have a flexible job that allows me to provide care for animals throughout the day. My wife is also extremely involved and we enjoy spending our time around animals. I have a mini golden doodle and am constantly aware of the potential dangers to her. My main goals are to keep your dog comfortable and to not send them home with a vet bill.
“Melissa helped us out with multiple drop-in visits and did a great job. She was very responsive and professional, and was caring and compassionate with our 10 week old pup. We will definitely be booking again!”
“Megan was great with Henry! She was prompt, provided great communication throughout, and Henry loved spending time with her. We will definitely continue to work with her!”
“Sophia was great with the pets. She contacted me with any questions/concerns she had which I appreciated. Responsive with texts and spent time with my fur babies. Thank you Sophia!”
“Jillian did a good job taking care of the kitty with drop-ins for a few days. Fulfilled all the requests we had of her perfectly. The cat was happy! We would not hesitate to hire her again.”
About: I'm dedicated to providing top-notch care for your beloved pets. With years of experience, I offer reliable pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits tailored to your furry friend's needs. Whether it's cuddle time, play sessions, or simply ensuring they're fed and watered, your pet's well-being is my priority. Rest assured, I'm committed to maintaining their routine and providing companionship and affection while you're away. My schedule can easily accommodate the needs and preferences of your pup, as I am home full time. I can provide frequent potty breaks and walks for your fur baby, as needed. We have a fenced in backyard with plenty of space for your dogs to play and run. When walking dogs, I use a standard leash, in addition to a hands-free waist leash, to ensure your pup stays safe.
About: I have spent all of my life around animals, and have absolutely loved spending time with them since I was young. As a kid I volunteered at my local shelter, playing with the residents and doing what I could to help take care of them and keep them happy. I personally grew up with both cats and dogs. I was the family member responsible for training and teaching our dogs new commands. I would be more than happy to go on long walks or spend time playing with and keeping your pets company. I am currently a school teacher on break, so I have plenty of time to love on your fur baby! I am currently openly available, until the school year begins in September. Until then, I am generally available during the week from 8 am to 10 pm. I am more than happy to feed, walk, play with, and love your animals in your home. I have experience with administering insulin to cats as well.
“Denille is the best and a blessing to work with. She took care of Hooch like he was her own. She even recognized he was sick and worked with me and my vet to get him care and saving his life after he got into some left overs and ate onions. Will be hiring again as she is trustworthy and loving!”
About: I will take great care of your pet while you are away whether it be for just a day or longer! I feel very comfortable with all kinds of pets! I am a teacher so in the summer I have time between taking my kids to activities. I can do early morning, afternoon and evenings!! I will follow your instructions carefully and communicate well. I know that your peace of mind is the most important thing! Rest assured your home and pet will be well cared for!
“Courtney did a great job caring for Archie, Ballet, and Cutie. She sent pictures of our kitties from her check-ins and gave us great notes! Courtney is also very responsive (prompt!)”
About: I've grown up with both dogs and cats and have taken care of them for as long as I can remember. While I've mostly worked with medium to large sized dogs, small dogs and cats are great as well and I have experience playing, walking, feeding, and bathing animals in all walks of life. I work part-time while playing softball over the span of the summer, but I have plenty of time during the week to care for your pets. I love all animals and will treat yours with as much respect as I do my own, while also being sure to cater to your specific pet's needs.
“Thank you for loving our energetic dog while we were away!!! Lindsey was amazing and Bruno was so well taken care of. She sent lots of updates, pictures and videos! 🐶”
“Jennifer was exceptional, providing attentive care and creating a comfortable environment for my furry friends. I highly recommend her services for anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
About: I am a HUGE dog lover. I have experience with all kinds of dogs! Friends and family love and trust me to give their fur babies the love and care they need while they are away! My hours throughout the week vary as I work in behavior analysis and have sessions at different times each day! However, I am typically done in the afternoon and available every night! I have a big fenced in backyard! I just recently lost my amazing fur baby so I am ready to give your fur baby all the love and care I put into my own!
About: Hi!! My name is Madi and have been Dogsitting for over 10+ years! I am a teacher who is home during the summer, weekends and mornings/ after school. I grew up with two dogs but currently have none of my own but will be more than happy to provide your pet with the best care and make sure they're always happy!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Oaklyn
Amanda did a drop-in visit and walk with our dog Ellie while we were gone for a long day. She was professional and reliable and it was so nice to know Ellie would have a nice walk and some attention (and be fed!) while we were gone for the day. Would definitely have Amanda take care if Ellie 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
I have never had a stranger take care of my dogs, so I was apprehensive about how my dogs would be with Julia. Well, I can honestly say that Julia was wonderful!! My dogs love her! She was very communicative, and sent me multiple pictures daily. I will definitely use Julia in the future.
Nicole was amazing! Very quick and polite communication. Took great daily photos and followed up with everything! She even handled some things that were outside of my initial request, to make sure we returned to a good situation. Would definitely recommend her, and will be using her again myself!
We hired Brynn to come into our home to feed and walk our older dog when we went away overnight. She did an excellent job and sent us texts and photos each time. Our pup was in good spirits when we returned. I would definitely have her come again and recommend her highly.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Oaklyn stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

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 dog, 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.
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.

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.
