About: I have taken care of many different dogs and cats throughout my life, from neighbors to strangers I have helped many different people with their animals These days and times that are listed are what’s best for me, but I can definitely be flexible and work something out with you to best fit your schedule. I can adapt to any pets personality so long as I know what its boundaries are. I would like to be informed as thoroughly as possible as to how your pet behaves so I can provide the highest quality care.
“Megan was an amazing caretaker for my cat while I was out of town for the weekend! My cat was very happy and calm when I came home, it was clear she was well taken care of and cared for. Thank you Megan!”
“Carole was an excellent cat sitter for our (very) senior cat. She medicated him as required and actually spent time with him on each visit. Her notes were thorough and gave us a very good idea of how he was behaving in our absence. She really went above and beyond, and I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone, but particularly to those with a delicate cat who has special needs.”
“Maxine was so helpful for daily check-ins for our puppy, Nala! She sent great photo updates and checked in as needed. She is flexible and asked great questions to make sure she stuck to the routine we have going. We will definitely contact Maxine in the future for walks!”
“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.”
“Sierra house sat for us and was respectful to our house, kept my plants alive (maybe better than I can), and most imporantly took great care of our cats. She was in very good communication with us if our cats needed anything and I felt very comfortable knowing she was watching our house and pets. We will contact her first if we ever need house sitting/pet watching again”
About: I've been a dog lover and owner my entire life. Over the years, I've cared for a Golden Retriever, Dalmatian, Chocolate Labrador Retriever, German Shepherd, and Goldendoodle, giving me experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I've also been the trusted pet sitter for friends, family, and neighbors for many years. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, exploring outdoors, or simply relaxing with plenty of attention, I'll make sure they receive the care, exercise, and affection they deserve. I understand that every dog is unique, and I'll follow your routines and instructions so your pet feels comfortable, safe, and happy. I treat all pets like they were my own. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to provide dependable care throughout the week, including weekdays, evenings, weekends, and many holidays. Because I have plenty of availability, your pet will receive the time, attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I'll do my best to accommodate your schedule and provide reliable, consistent care you can count on. I'm available for weekday and weekend bookings, and I'll always do my best to work with your schedule whenever possible. Many dogs are happiest in the comfort of their own home, surrounded by familiar sights, smells, and routines. That's why I'm happy to provide attentive, reliable care in your home while you're away. My goal is to keep your pet's routine as consistent as possible so they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. I'll follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special routines that help your pet feel comfortable. While you're away, I'll keep things clean and tidy, provide regular photo and message updates, and make sure you have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and in good hands.
About: As someone who has grown up with dogs since the age of 3, I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by the love and energy of pets. Caring for them has always been second nature to me, whether it’s going for walks, playing, or just making sure they feel safe and loved. Every dog has its own personality and needs, and I’m here to give them the same care and attention they’d get from you. ❤️ I currently work from home, so I’m super flexible and can easily adjust to your schedule needs, whether it’s extra walks, playtime, or just making sure your pet is comfortable and happy. I’m here to give them all the love they deserve while you’re away. I will focus on keeping things as normal and comfortable as possible when caring for your pets. I will ensure to stick to their routine whether it’s meals, walks, or playtime, and make sure they get plenty of love and attention. I want your pet to feel happy and safe while you’re away, and I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own.
“Fantastic sitting for my dogs on a last minute request! Was very attentive and arrived on schedule to attend to the dogs. Will absolutely check in with her again first for future needs! Thank you!”
“Christabelle did a fantastic job! She was reliable, communicative, and took great care of our pets while we were away. We came home to happy, well-cared-for animals and had complete peace of mind during our trip!”
“Cindy went above and beyond to make sure my anxious and finicky eater cat ate the wet food she does not like but must eat for her diet, including feeding my cat wet food by hand. She showed a lot of care and love for my cats, and I’m sure she’ll do the same for yours.”

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was a young child, and have a deep love for animals. I have two fur babies of my own: one since he was puppy and the other since he was 1. I trained them both, and especially offered additional support and love to my one dog who was a rescue after being a surrender. I have incredible patience, and offer a safe, healthy, and loving environment for your precious fur baby. I currently work from home full time so your fur baby will never be deprived of attention. I have lots of dog toys, 2 dogs who are wonderful with other dogs, so your pup will have lots of stimulation. We will be sure to go on plenty of walks to get fresh air and time outside. Although I do not have a fenced yard, your pup will not have to worry about getting time outside. We will take plenty of walks. My 2 dogs are very social and love to interact with other dogs. If I am coming into your home, I will follow all directions you provide, and ensure your fur baby feels comfortable.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Oakton
Hannah took excellent care of both of our dogs, especially the older one whom she made a second trip to make sure that he was eating his meals. In addition to cleaning up after them and providing lots of snuggles with our doggos, she communicated daily and took excellent photos. Highly recommend!
I would highly recommend Michelle for any pet sitting needs! She is so sweet and communicative throughout her visits! I received lots of pictures and updates, and I can clearly tell my pup is very happy with her :) I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!
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!

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 Oakton 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 Oakton 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. 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.
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 Oakton 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.
