About: I’ve had both cats and dogs and have cared for them since I was 10. I love animals and miss being around them since mine are back at home while I’m at college. I am a college student, and have availability certain week days and or nights as well as the weekends in the afternoon and the evenings. Your pets will be supervised at all times during walks and safely taken care of with whatever needs they require. I will walk in safe communities as well.
“Jessica did such a great job watching our cat Lottie. She was very communicative throughout the process-before, during and after. Also, I don't know how she does it, but she takes the cutest cat photos! Will definitely use her again!”
“Did such a good job with my high maintenance boys! Also maintained really great communication and updates! Came home to very happy and well cared for fellas!”
“Daniela did an amazing job. We just moved in and our house was a disaster, but Daniela worked through it and other challenges with access to our flat. We couldn’t be more pleased with how she handled these challenges and how well she cared for our little Skippy.”
About: I’m a reliable and patient animal lover who enjoys spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, active, and cared for while their owners are away. I can help with feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and maintaining routines to keep pets comfortable and happy. I pay close attention to each dog’s behavior and energy level and can provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind. I’m also comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, and shy pets that may need extra patience and attention. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I’m able to provide reliable attention and care throughout the week. I’m flexible with drop-in visits and can make sure your cat stays fed, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I enjoy spending time playing with cats, giving them attention, and keeping their routine consistent to help them feel relaxed and safe. I always make sure pets are cared for in a calm, clean, and safe environment. I follow feeding schedules carefully, keep litter boxes clean, and pay close attention to each cat’s behavior and comfort level. In a client’s home, I respect their space and routines while providing updates and photos for peace of mind. My goal is to make every pet feel secure, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away.
“Andrea did a great job with our two chihuahua mixes! She understands their needs and they felt comfortable with her right away. She was also great at communicating and keeping us up to date.”
“Leah was great! She treated our kitty, Sammie, so well, and went over and above, giving time not just for feeding but fun time and play time. She sent us great pictures too. Cannot recommend Leah highly enough. She is our forever pet sitter! 😸”
“Sam was SO awesome! She was so responsive and her communication the entire time was exceptional. She immediately gave my pup so many snuggles and spent time while I was not there truly making him feel at home. I cannot recommend Sam enough!!”
About: I have more experience caring for cats than dogs, since I own two 6-year-old cats myself and have cared for them for years. I’m experienced with feeding, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and administering both oral and topical medications. I have also taken care of dogs and cats for family friends, including medium-sized and older dogs such as German Shepherds. My responsibilities have included walking, feeding, playing with them, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and understand the importance of patience, attention, and making pets feel safe in their routine. I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s specific needs and following any instructions regarding medications, schedules, or behaviors. As a university student on summer break, my daytime schedule is completely open and flexible for walks and drop-in visits. Because I commute to my university nearby, I will remain in the area year-round and can transition to flexible part-time care once the school year begins. My overnight availability varies, so please message me directly to check specific night dates! I am an experienced pet owner with two cats of my own, and I confidently care for both dogs and cats. I know how stressful it is to leave your pets, so I love sending frequent photo and text updates to keep you connected. I strictly follow your pet's feeding and exercise routines to ensure they stay safe, happy, and comfortable.
About: Hi! I’m a 25 yr old data analyst with a love for dogs and animals of all kinds. I’ve been a proud dog mom for the past two years, and I’ve been fostering and dog walking since I was 20, so caring for pets has truly been a part of my life for a long time. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s a high energy walk, cuddle time, or just making sure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away, I treat every animal like my own. I understand how important peace of mind is when you’re away from your furry family member, and I’m here to provide just that. I work as a data analyst but love walking dogs and taking care of dogs in my free time! My schedule is flexible which allows me to spend more time with the pups! All pets are welcomed to my home and when they come over immediately feel like part of the family whether it’s with endless belly rubs or just love in general
“Brianne has been wonderful with our dog, Lilly. She’s communicative, kind, and very patient. She also provides thorough reviews and summaries of her visits! We have really appreciated her dedication!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life — from dogs and cats to frogs and fish! I absolutely adore animals and would love to hang out with your furry family member! I’m currently in grad school, but classes are twice a week in the evening, so I have plenty of time during the day to play with your pet. I’m more than happy to take your pets on walks, play tug-of-war, or simply snuggle together. I can also crate your pet if you prefer.
“Carole is by far the best sitter! I truly would not want anyone else to watch my kitty cats! 🐈 She genuinely cares and it shows in every interaction she has with them. I am so lucky that we have Carole!! 😻”
“Miria was absolutely AMAZING! We have a very shy cat and within a few days, Miria had managed to get Siri to accept pets from her! She was extremely responsive to any requests we had and generally did a fabulous job. Can’t recommend her highly enough.”
About: I've always taken care of dogs - my family has had up to three at one time! My best friend is my Goldendoodle (Koda) and I love to play and have fun with him, but I also take his care very seriously. He means the world to me and I would treat your dog the same! Walking, feeding, bathing, medicine are all part of that. I'm currently in school and looking for part-time work. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I should be able to accommodate most requests for visiting your pets. I will treat your dog like my own and will make sure he has lots of fun, receives lots of love and gets his energy out!
About: I grew up with dogs and cats and love all animals. I’m taking a professional break and would love to take care of your pets. I’m currently taking a professional break from my career and will be available for walks and visits most weekdays when I’m not traveling or taking care of my own dog. I have a fenced in backyard where my own 80-lb doodle loves to play. I have one indoor cat who roams our home freely. I can welcome dogs into our home for daycare who are comfortable with a playmate.
Oakton dog parents share their Rover experiences
FIVE STARS!! We have 2 dogs and one is very scared of strangers. Jessica was patient and loving with him and he warmed up to her very quickly (faster than any other stranger/dog sitter), and I think they were besties by the end of our trip! Jessica sent detailed communication after each visit along with super sweet pictures. She made wise decisions related to changing weather and communicated everything with us. Our dogs are high energy and she played with the dogs every visit which was awesome. We will definitely be using her services in the future and would 100% reccomend her. I think the dogs are really going to miss her!
Winnie was AMAZING with our dog and cat. She gave them tons of attention and made sure they were mentally stimulated. She also sent us thorough updates after each drop-in, which relieved a lot of our anxieties. I would definitely rehire her, and I highly recommend her if you want someone who takes care of your pets like they’re her own.
I felt completely comfortable leaving Beethoven in Darcy‘s capable hands. She wrote extensive notes each day, letting me know how he did and she was always early to arrive and did exactly what I asked, and it was just such a relief to know that he was in good hands. I will definitely reach out when I have another need for a walker or a caretaker for my pup!
Beth L. was able to step in quickly when our sitter cancelled and do drop in visits for our dog while we were away for multiple days. She cheerfully got Nelly up and fed in the morning and put her in her crate at night after ensuring she got some outdoor and play time and water. She was communicative and responsive the whole time and Nelly did well. We really appreciated her help!
Caroline listened to all my suggestions with Bella and had an amazing night with our 12 week old pup! We had no accidents in the house while we were gone which is a huge bonus! I highly recommend Caroline for her attention to detail, warmth and obvious love for animals.
Matthew was wonderful taking care of Lincoln. He came over ahead of time and did a meet and greet. Then the day of the check-in and walk I got great updates about the visit, a mapped out view of the walk, and pictures of Lincoln out and about on his walk. He even worked in a little training which was great!
