“Kathy was awesome. My dogs loved her and I felt very safe with leaving my babies with her. Definitely recommend and hopefully use Kathy in the future. Thanks so much!”
About: I’ve loved animals from a very young age and have experience with all kinds of pets. I have about 15 years experience working in a very busy specialty veterinary hospital as a vet nurse for their emergency service. So you can trust your pets are getting the best care and I can spot a potential health issue/emergency if something were to arise. Along with my medical background I have a great deal of experience and interest in animal behavior and training. Having worked with my own dogs and worked directly with trainers for my own knowledge. The hospital I worked for was fear free certified, I absolutely carry those gentle and patient techniques over when working with your pets. Taking the time to gain trust is super important! I recently moved back to this area, I went to school in haddon heights. Since moving back my schedule is pretty open so I can focus on taking care of your pets! I have my own car and can come to your house so your pet(s) don’t have to stress in an unfamiliar environment. Alternatively I do offer day boarding in my home which has a fully fenced yard with plenty of space to run. Whatever the circumstances, I am available by phone/text always and will happily send updates and pics as often as you’d like so you can enjoy your time away from your pets.
“We had a great experience with our dog sitter while we were away. He took excellent care of Julie and Romeo, made sure they were fed, let outside regularly, and kept us updated throughout the stay with pictures and messages, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. It was clear both dogs were comfortable and well cared for. We really appreciated the communication, reliability, and attention he gave them. I would definitely trust him to watch Julie and Romeo again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for dependable pet care.”
“Peter is an excellent sitter! He take amazing care of my dogs with special needs (medication and reactivity) and they love when he comes over. Peter is responsible, communicative, and genuine in his love for animals.”
“Megan did an amazing job with our cats. She came by the day before to ensure she knew how to properly care for the cats. No issues during the stay and would highly recommend!”
“Julia was great with my pup, Honey! She came for a meet-and-greet so I could show her everything she needed. Honey is special needs (blind) and she was great keeping her on her food and walk routine to help her get around. She sent me updates and was very responsive. I would use her services again!”
“Shell has been so incredible with our very special pups who have different behavior quirks. she takes them out separately to make sure everyone has a safe visit and for that i’m super grateful. it’s so hard to find someone to trust with your fur babies and i’m so glad i found shell. we will continue to use her services, 15/10 recommend !”
“I was in need of a sitter for my cat and my regular service was unavailable. I searched online and found Rover. It was easy to set up my account and easier still to schedule a last minute sitting with DonnaT. Donna was punctual with visiting my kitty as scheduled and made sure to accommodate of my cat’s needs. I am pleased with both Donna and Rover and will definitely be a repeat customer.”

About: Ive had all sorts of pets since childhood i.e. cats dogs chicks bunnies. I have experience with puppies, both golden retriever pups and German shephard pups. I currently do not have any pets for the first time in my life and so I've decided to create an account to supplement my income as well as satisfy my desire to be around furry creatures. For the record, I do not work with reptiles. Furry creatures only :) I am reliable and will keep you updated as much as you'd like me to, with pictures and videos of your pets! Cats and dogs preferred but also have experience with bunnies. I'm currently working in a very flexible industry, so my schedule isn't very rigid, however I will sometimes need to leave the house for 6-8hours. I enjoy being outside with the pups in the evening, when I have the most time. I do not have the ability to care for pets in my home. I try and stick to the animals routine in their home, although sometimes they can be stubborn and not stick to their own routine. They will, once they trust and warm up to me, sometimes it takes a day or two :) I'm very patient and gentle and will show them all the love :)
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!
About: Hi!! My name is Madi and have been Dogsitting for over 10+ years! My boyfriend and I live in Audubon and love providing a safe loving home for your animals! I am a teacher who is home during the summer, weekends and mornings/ after school. We both grew up with dogs but currently have none of our own (pet free household!).Our goal is to provide a safe, fun atmosphere for your best friend! I am currently a teacher, so I am available after 3pm on weekdays and am available on weekends! I am also occasionally off for breaks! I make sure to provide pets with the most loving care as possible. I have two dogs of my own and I treat every dog I watch as if they were my own!
“Julie has been the BEST. So communicative and helpful, she’s truly made this an awesome experience. 10/10 would recommend for anyone, but especially for first time Rover users (like me)!”
“Denise took great care of our Parson Russell Terrier, Maximus. She played with him and cuddled with him like we do. She sent us pictures to ease OUR separation anxiety. Highly recommend Denise as a caring and compassionate dog sitter.?”
About: I have a dog at home, but due to her reactivity I am unable to foster or adopt other animals. I love playing and being around all types of animals. I’ve housesat for my family and friends since I was about 13. I would love to help out and take care of your furry friends while you’re away! I am currently working Monday-Friday 9-5 during the week. So my availability would be Friday to Sunday, so if you need a weekend getaway I’m your girl! My home is unavailable for petsitting due to my dogs reactivity, so caring for your animal in your home would be mostly just following your rules! It’s important to learn your dogs usual schedule to help them feel more comfortable while you are away!
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. Once the school year begins I am available for housesitting for pets that can be left alone for a workday. I can offer drop ins and walks after 3:30 pm on school days. 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.
About: I think that animals make the world a better place. I’m committed to giving them wonderful care and and a friendly, warm embrace every time! I am currently retired and enjoy spending my free time spoiling my animals and others. Animals are better than humans. I take my dog for multiple walks a day. I go out of my way to ensure that the pets feel safe and comfortable in my presence. That’s what means the most to me.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Oaklyn
We can't say enough about how happy we were with Brianna's care of our pets. We have 5 indoor cats and 2 ferals in our household. The twice daily (AM and PM) responsibilities included giving one of the cats 2 medications daily, multiple feeding instructions for wet and dry foods, and litter maintenance. Brianna provided thorough communication and photos on all visits. Notably, Brianna demonstrated keen observational skills and diligence by contacting us when it appeared someone had been to the house between her visits (it was a family member who had stopped by to pick up something). It became clear that Brianna is not just smart and dependable, she really loved our cats and took care of them as if they were her own. We would not hesitate to have Brianna take care of them in the future.
Megan took care of our cat family of 5 plus 2 outdoor feral cats. The responsibilities included giving one of the cats two medications daily, multiple instructions for feeding wet/dry food based on individual preferences, and litter box maintenance. Megan did a great job by providing pictures and updates on all the entire crew on a daily basis. Additionally, she genuinely appeared to enjoy their company and I am sure the feeling was mutual. We would definitely use Megan again for future needs.
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!
Julia was fantastic! She took great care of our two cats while we were away. We really appreciated Julia’s warmth, professionalism, and communicativeness. The updates she sent throughout our trip were very reliable and reassuring. She was very easy to connect with and our cats seemed happy and healthy upon our return. We hope to book with Julia again!
Julie has been watching our cat, Bella, for a year now and has always been very sweet and affectionate towards her, engaging in play and always ensuring to keep us updated on how she’s doing with some awesome photos. We will miss her as we are moving out of state, but she is highly recommended by us!!
Hunter is a conscientious, loving and professional person. She cared for my diabetic cat for two weeks and I received glowing reviews from him lol. I very much appreciate Hunter’s style as well. She was relaxed and confident around Mick. Hunter is and will be on Team Mick for future trips!!!!
Margot took very good care of firefly! She even took the time to play with him which we really appreciate! Firefly seemed to warm right up to her which speaks volumes to her natural love and attentiveness for cats! Also , she was very adaptable when we had a little key /lock mishap (my fault). thanks again ! Definitely will book again

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Oaklyn is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $36 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 October 2026, there are 9,232 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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
- 94% 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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
