âSarah was a great fit for Duke. I had to leave town for a funeral so short notice and she was very accommodating. She kept me updated with how Duke was doing through my trip. I would recommend her for everyone to use.â
âThis was our first time using Rover and we couldnât have been happier with Gerard. We were obviously a bit nervous leaving our dog for 8 nights with someone we didnât know, but Gerardâs wonderful personality and caring communication put our heart at ease from day one. He definitely puts care into the dogs he watches. He sent us daily videos which were great, and kept us up to date. Our dog Roscoe looked like he was having a blast every time. We will definitely use Gerard in the future for other dog sitting needs. Thanks so much Gerard!!â
âKylie was an amazing sitter. My cats almost didnât want to leave! She sent pictures with updates which kept my mind at ease. Will definitely be using her again when visiting family :)â
âIt was kind of a short notice to leave Freddy with Julie and we are glad she was available. It was a short stay but I know Freddy just loves being with Julie. He was probably disappointed we werenât gone longer.â
About: I grew up with cats and dogs, and now my husband and I have five cats and one dog of our own! I volunteer at the Animal Protection League walking dogs and caring for cats. I also run Fields Feline Rescue, a local home-run rescue for cats and kittens, with my husband. I am experienced with bottle feeding kittens, giving medicine to cats and dogs, basic dog obedience, harness and collar walking, and keeping litter boxes nice and clean! I am currently working full-time as a social worker. I also am in part-time night school. My availability may change week-to-week. Generally, I am free before work, on lunch, and after 4:30pm. Please reach out to talk about a schedule that works for you! I will respect your home environment and prioritize your pet's routine. I also will communicate when I am coming and going from your home, and keep you updated!
âPhyllis was so great with Diesel who is a blind husky, send photo to show how good he is doing. And we can tell Diesel was very happy at her place. Will definitely use her services again.â

âKept me up to date on how my dog was doing while we were out of the country for a couple of weeks, and took good care of my senior dog while we were away. Would definitely recommend.â
âWhere do I start? Cameron is amazing. He is honestly better with my two big, strong dogs than I am. I'm realizing not every sitter understands your breed and Cameron is really great with my pit mixes. He spends quality time with them, keeps them on a schedule and sends the best photos of them having a great time - EVERY DAY! Cameron isn't just a sitter, he cares about the dogs and wants them to have a good time and be safe and happy. They came home content, tired and so calm. I can't believe our luck in finding him. Highly recommend if you have big, active dogs that other sitters don't know what to do with.â
About: Iâve loved Dogs and Cats for as long as I can remember. Iâve had cats since I was 5 years old, and theyâve always been an important part of my life. I had my 1st dog in middle school so ,I grew up playing with them, sleeping next to them, and caring for them every day. Being around cats and dogs brings me so much joy, and I understand how to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I will care for your cat or dog as if they were my own. Cats are part of my daily life. I donât have dogs but I love it and also was my daily life when I live with my parents. On Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, Iâm home most of the time, so I can give them plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles. During the week, Iâm available from 5 PM until the next morning, and I love spending my evenings relaxing with cats by my side. In my routine, cats are never aloneâthey are always with me, receiving love and care. Having a dog should not be a probleem :) When caring for cats and dogs in my home or in a clientâs home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their feeding schedule, keep their litter box clean, afternoon walks,play with them, give them plenty of attention and affection, and respect their personality and routine. I enjoy spending quality time with cats, whether they want to play, cuddle, or simply relax nearby.Trust me i will not fail:)
About: Iâve taken care of animals my entire life! Born and raised on a farm. Iâve always had dogs and cats to love and many other small animals! I plan to own my own kennel in the future. We have 4 animal loving kids as well! I work part time at a salon so my schedule is pretty flexible as long as there is advanced planning and Iâll do my best to keep your pets current schedule. I have a huge fenced in yard where our dogs can play during the day. We have a mudroom attached to the house where crates are kept. And well-behaved dogs are welcome to come inside!
About: Hi furry families! My name is Iris and Iâm an animal inspired gal. I have owned multiple breeds of dogs/cats throughout my lifetime from family mutts to tea cup chihuahuas to 100lb terriers but I do have an extra special place in my heart for bullies. Iâve raised all my children with dogs/cats and am comfortable with all breeds. I would love to meet your babies, give them all the love and attention they need and keep them comfortable in your absence. đž I am available for drop ins, walks, and overnight stays. I work a typical 40 hours a week with flexibility to adjust my schedule as needed. Iâve worked for the same company for 27 years and would love to build a steady group of fur friends so I can leave the corporate world and do what I actually love! 𩷠I love to stimulate your dog mentality and physically. Iâm an expert ball thrower (just ask my Kato) and I enjoy walking neighborhoods and sometimes adding a little jog. If their not into adventure Iâm also great at cuddling on the couch or floor, giving all the belly scratches and just being present for comfort and security.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dogâs regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
98% of sitters in Oakville can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dogâs needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dogâs usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Oakville home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Oakville.
Tip: You can upload your dogâs routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Oakville. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 98% 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.
You and your Oakville sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of youâand your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Roverâs 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.
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 Justiceâs 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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dogâs vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitterâs care.
Many sitters in IN ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, youâre adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. Youâll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
