About: I have been caring for dogs my entire life! My grandmother was an animal cruelty investigator and my family works in rescue. I care for each pet as if they were my own. I truly love what I do and want to give families the care I would hope to receive when I need someone to look after my pets This is my full time job! I care for pets around the clock. Walks, drop ins, overnights. Whatever you need I can provide with love and care I love when families leave detailed lists of the pets schedule and routine so I can keep their days going as they usually would to help alleviate some stress from their families being gone.
“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!”
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 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!
“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! 🐶”
“Julie was great. Cricket usually hides from visitors but she was happy to interact, play and be petted by Julie. She took good care of everything Cricket needed and we felt she was in great hands. We will definitely book her in the future.”
“Courtney is great, as always! She came by our house daily to check on our 3 kitties. I bought the wrong size batteries for our timer feeders and Courtney creatively solved that issue until I could get the batteries to her. She sent photos with the daily report cards. She also brought our mail in from the mailbox. We cannot recommend Courtney enough!”

I go for walks around the neighborhood, to the Timber creek dog park or even play in the backyard. I have a fenced in yard, plenty of room inside to run and play, and a nice neighborhood to go on walks. Both of my dogs are crated during the day but yours doesn’t need to be. I allow them to roam all day when I’m home and at night.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Oaklyn
Katie was amazing! We had her meet our dogs 1-2 months before the actual visit and being this was our first time using rover she made us very comfortable with the process. The days she came to stop by and let our dogs out were a bit difficult due to our one dog who was being very stubborn. But Katie was so patient and we attempted to work as a team to bring him in which eventually worked. She gained our dog’s trust and it helped when she would ask them to come in. She was even concerned with our one dog on the first visit when she didn’t go outside during the nighttime. It was our wedding weekend and when I tell you I appreciated Katie for making things as smooth as possible, I truly did. I 100% recommend going with her every time ☺️
This is the first time I used Rover, and I chose Mary to take care of my three cats Chai, Serena, and Yasmina. During the introduction, I was impressed with Mary's love of animals and her friendly nature. I felt that I could trust her with my babies as well as my house. During my time away, Mary communicated in a timely manner and share photos of her drop in visits. She even managed to give medicine to Serena, who is not easy to give medicine to! I would absolutely ask Mary to take care of my pets again. She is reliable, kind-hearted, and trustworthy. Thank you so much, Mary!!!
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!!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet 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 9,170 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 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.
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 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.
