“Allison is amazing! She has taken such great care of our dogs, we appreciate being able to leave them for an evening and know they’re getting the attention they need. Thank you for being so great!”
“Lyndsay was available on pretty short notice for drop in visits for our cat while we were away. She was very nice and our cat seemed to really like her! I would book her again for cat care without a worry!”
“Brandon was amazing with our Brody, stayed with him longer than scheduled and went back to check on him again because I was worried about him. Above and beyond and so appreciated.”
About: I grew up around animals—my family owned a pet store, and my grandparents ran a dog grooming business, so animal care has always been a big part of my life. I’m especially experienced with greyhounds and whippets, and I’ve spent a lot of time caring for beagles, German shorthaired pointers, German shepherds, and French bulldogs. I also have hands-on experience with exotic birds, as my family used to rescue them. I have been pet sitting full time for around a year, while I work from my computer. I have a social media marketing business that's pretty flexible. I prioritise safety, routine, and clear communication. I follow your pet’s usual schedule as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, medication, and any training cues. I’m careful to respect boundaries, especially with dogs who are anxious, reactive, or still adjusting. I’m respectful of your home and always leave it clean and tidy. I secure doors and gates, double-check leashes and harnesses before walks, and make sure your pet is safe before leaving. I provide regular updates and photos so you know how things are going. If anything unexpected comes up, I’ll contact you right away and follow your instructions. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first.
“Justin was great! He was very quick to communicate about booking and visits! He was on-time and flexible for drop-in visits, and he provided great updates and photos of his time with Callie! They went for plenty of walks, and Justin spent extra time throwing the ball for her, and just relaxing at home for extra company while I was away! I will book again with Justin for my next trip! He did a fantastic job with Callie!”
“Heather was so kind and upon meeting her, I instantly knew I wouldn’t have to worry while I was gone. She was very communicative and I know my boy had the best treatment.”
About: I am the current owner of an 10 week old Rough Collie and a two year old Dalmatian Lab mix. Our fur babies are just as important as our human one! My family also has solid experience with senior pets. I have had many and varied pets over the years: cats, dogs, hamsters, gerbils, Guinea pigs, birds and have loved them all! I will love your baby just like my very own! Thank you for the privilege of allowing me to care for your non human babies! I look forward to meeting each and every one! If you talk with any of my family and friends they know how crazy I am about my fur babies and your fur babies will too! I look forward to meet you in person! Sincerely, I am a full time stay at home caregiver for my dad who is partially paralyzed. I am able to always be available to your pets in my home. I am able to let your dogs run free in my fenced-in and private back yard and I can walk them daily or more around my pet friendly neighborhood.
About: Hello! I work from home so, the dogs are under constant supervision. I will only be watching one dog at a time. I have a cat who likes to keep to herself. I presently work from home so I will be able to provide your puppers constant care. I love taking dogs on long walks around Lawrenceville! Fenced in backyard. pups will get plenty of exercise playing with me and going for walks. I understand the trust that owners are placing in me to care for their most loved pets and take that responsibility very seriously. I love and treat the dogs I watch as if they are my own🧡
About: I’m 26 years old, currently work full time as a nanny! I’ve grown up with dogs & cats my whole life & recently had to put my dog down due to kidney failure. I believe pets brings so much joy into our lives so coming home to a furry friend my favorite! I love taking dogs out for walks, playing in the backyard or whatever your dog’s favorite activity is! I’ve taken dogs to daycare, or come to let them out at the house mid day for a potty break! We can discuss this more in depth though:) I am very comfortable with walking dogs, crating dogs during the day or night if requested by owner. And have no problem with a fenced yard for just needing a leash every time.
“Absolutely wonderful and reliable !! Went out of his way to care for my birds and cat while I was away . Went the extra mile and used his own timer so my birds would have their lights on during the day. A really great guy !!”
“Meagan was great! We were flexible about times, but she always came when she said she was going to and gave detailed summaries after each visit. We could see her playing with Louie on the outdoor camera, and he looked like he really enjoyed her company. She took great care of our buddy while we were out of town and we couldn’t be happier!”
“Julianna helped us with our dog, usually several drop in visits per week for a few months. Julianna is responsive, trustworthy and was great with our dog. She was always on time and very communicative. She did a fantastic job and was very appreciated by our family! Thanks Julianna!”
About: I take pride in making sure animals not only have their basic needs met but also can get the socialization and fun time they need (whether we are actively playing or sitting quietly together). My experience includes: - Dog care (bathroom breaks, feeding, puppy care, playing together, sitting together) - Feline care (refilling wet or dry food, refilling water, brushing coats, playing, sitting and spending time together) - Poultry care (including measuring and distributing feed, refilling water, cleaning coops, giving baths, general checks for infected feet or other ailments) - Equine care (including measuring and distributing feed, refilling water, refilling troughs, bathing, brushing, and hair braiding) - Medication administration (pills and liquid syringe orally) - Taking lots of update pictures of your friend to send to you! I am a contract filmmaker that does gig work, so if my profile is up and active I am available for your pet sitting needs! I am available for hire most days of the week, including weekends, so that you can travel and do what you need knowing your friend is comfortable at home and in good hands. Safety is the number one priority for myself and your friend and will be taken as upmost importance at all times. I understand that each animal has their own unique personality and lifestyle-- I make sure to carefully observe their behaviors and tendencies when providing care you need for them in order to keep them happy and comfortable. Please feel free to ask me questions at any time.
“Kathryn was great with our cats (who warmed up to her faster than their usual), communicated super well, and was fastidious about care and cleaning. Would love to work with her again!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets ever since I was a teenager in high school. My friends, family, and neighbors would rely on and trust me to check-in, walk, feed, and care for their pets while they were out of town and would return home knowing their pets were well cared for while they were away! I am a recent Physician Assistant graduate looking for part-time work while studying for my boards! Rover allows me to create the perfect work schedule for myself, while also allowing sufficient time during my day to focus on my studies. I love caring for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can stay in a familiar and stress-free environment. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual routine and needs, and I’m happy to provide everything from feeding and walks to playtime and keeping their space clean and comfortable. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your pet is safe and well cared for while you’re away, and I treat every pet as if they were my own.
About: I don’t just watch dogs, I genuinely love spending time with them. I’m the kind of person who gets excited to meet every dog I pass on a walk! My goal is to make your dog feel loved, comfortable, and stress free while you’re away. Whether your pup is energetic and loves adventures or prefers naps and cuddles, I’ll tailor my care to their personality and routine. You can expect lots of belly rubs, playtime, patience, and plenty of photo updates. I work Monday through Friday from 8–5, so my primary availability for pet care is during weeknights and weekends. I’m very intentional about dedicating that time to the pets in my care and adjusting my routine to accommodate their normal schedule, whether that means walks, feeding times, playtime, or simply keeping them company. Since being without my Golden, I’ve honestly felt a little emptiness in my day, which has made me realize even more how integral caring for dogs is to my life. Because of that, pet care is something I genuinely prioritize, and I want every pet I care for to feel comfortable, loved, and like their routine is being respected. I understand that every dog is different, just like people. I take the time to learn each dog’s personality, routine, boundaries, and communication style so I can adjust the way I interact with them based on what makes them feel most comfortable and secure. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or a client’s home, I follow the owner’s instructions closely while paying attention to the dog’s individual responses and needs. My goal is never to force a dog to adapt to me, but to understand how I can best fit into their routine and earn their trust so they feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owner is away.

Holly took care of my dad's cats for literal months, and this week she took care of mine! They are well and happy, and Holly even took out our trash for us and brought in our mail. She's definitely my first choice for a sitter, and I'm very glad I was able to hire her again.
I can't say enough wonderful things about Cassandra! Recently, a storm hit our area — not exactly ideal conditions for anyone. But without hesitation, she went above and beyond her role and helped clean up before carrying on with caring for Harvey. That kind of thoughtfulness and initiative is incredibly rare. She didn't have to do that — but she did it anyway, and it meant the world to me. It's clear she genuinely cares. So If you're looking for someone who is reliable, compassionate, and goes the extra mile (literally and figuratively), look no further. Thanks Cass :)
My dog instantly connected with Aubra at our meet and greet! She provided a couple of drop-in visits and was very punctual. She kept me updated with great communication throughout, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I could tell my dog was comfortable and well cared for. I’d definitely recommend Aubra.
For a vacation where everything that could go wrong almost did, Kayli was the one reliable positive thing that we had to deal with through our planning and travels! Kayli was very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and was super understanding and easy going while dealing with our pipes freezing while she stayed with our pets. I also think our pets behaved better for her than they do for us!! I was a little reluctant to use rover as we have always had friends stay with our pets but I am so happy to have found Kayli!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Oakmont is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 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 2,595 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Oakmont. 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.

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.
