I have been around dogs my whole life and am very loving and caring with all animals! I am in the process of finding a new full time job so my availability is wide open to take care of your furry best friends! I always am taking pups on walks. I love to play with the animals.

About: I have had animals in my family since I was barely walking. I currently have two dogs and two cats. I took care of my neighborhood feral and stray cats for years and have fostered dogs. I am self employed and work from home and my afternoons and weekends have had some free time. I love meeting new pets and helping people while they’re away I am not typically tied to a time constraint and am able to spend the time necessary to ensure the clients pets are taken care of to the level that I would want my pets taken care of
About: I own 3 dogs, a Dane, a Doodle, and a Retriever; who I love dearly! I have also volunteered and fostered many dogs through Lifeline. I am comfortable with any dog from puppies to giant lap dogs or pitbulls to labs (maybe skip chihuahuas). I’m currently a stay at home working mom. I teach online and can make my own schedule. I am home everyday and when I’m not working I’m caring for my son. I wanted to add an additional side hustle that I could bring him with me. We already go on walks together so why not bring someone else’s dog with us and make a couple extra bucks? Any money I make from this is just going into his college fund :) I’m happy to come over and let your dogs out during the afternoons when you’re at work. When I worked full time in person I had someone come over mid day, each day, to let my dogs out in the backyard and play with them for 30 minutes. If you’re looking for your pup to be taken on a short walk, I can do that too!
About: No matter the size, bread, history, health, etc they all need and deserve the right kind of love and attention. I would love to the opportunity to love your fur babies too! I have two dogs 1 older lab 10 and mixed brindle pitbull that is 5. They are my heart and joy, incredibly blessed to have them and the opportunity to love them! Unfortunately, I cannot take any fur babies in my own home, but I would love to respect yours and love them at the same time. Current full-time healthcare worker & dog lover. Would love the opportunity to love you’re babies. Available Friday afternoon to Sunday afternoon, possible weekday evening check-in as well. I have a fenced in yard with two dogs. I enjoy spending time with them and providing them with all the love and care they need.
About: Thank you for stopping by! I've cared for dogs, cats, lizards, and birds for over 15 years! Some have been my own pets, but when needed, I cared for my sister's german shepherd when she was out of town, walked a few friends dogs, and even administered and IV for a puppy I purchased from the pound, who had parvo! He made it through the disease! Please contact me with any questions! I can do dog walking and drop ins, full time, from 9:00am to 8pm, Monday thru Friday, and on the weekends, and I am a littlw flexible with the times, if you needed a little earlier start or end time! For my drop in services, I will come to your home and feed any pet that you have available! I will also walk them outside, if applicable! If there is a nearby park near you, sometimes, I can walk them there! For dog walking, I will provide the same wonderful service! Walking your lovely, dog in your neighborhood! If you have a nearby park, sometimes I can take them there! Plus, provide this water, if you allow it!
“Helenia is friendly and personable, professional, detail-oriented, and took great care of our kitties during an out-of-town trip. An all-around good person. We’d definitely recommend her.”
“Yay, Alice! She will take my dog out four times to make sure she poops. And she even cleaned up some diarrhea on the rug. What a trooper! I so appreciate the extra care for my dog.”
About: Hi there! I’m Brendon, a young professional new to Northeast Georgia. I moved here from Tampa for work, which sadly means being far away from dogs and cats that live with my family and friends. It would be a privilege to spend time caring for, walking, and getting to know dogs in this new town of mine. Those who rely on me for pet care know that I spend intentional time making sure their animal is physically and mentally stimulated, in addition to feeling loved and secure. I can’t wait to meet some new animal friends! I am currently available Mon-Fri during the day (before 4pm) with occasional weekends and holidays available for boarding and other services that you may require! Safety is always top of mind with me! Often I keep doors in the home closed except for the space that I can directly observe the animals. I am diligent about keeping food or other food-like objects out of reach for those pets that are especially curious.
“Julie is awesome. She provided so many photos of Millie and took care of her just like we would. She went above and beyond for us and Millie. I highly recommend booking with Julie, you won’t regret it.”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for both cats and dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. From energetic puppies who need patience and training to senior pets who require extra attention, medication, and gentle care. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand that every animal has unique needs, routines, and comfort levels, and I always take the time to make them feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm companion, I’ll provide dependable, attentive care and treat them like they’re part of my own family. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pet is in caring, experienced hands. I currently work in office full time from 9-5pm Monday to Friday. I am willing to come before I go to work and after work - first thing - to come take care of your fur babies! I provide compassionate care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, following your specific instructions closely. My goal is to ensure they feel safe, loved, and well-cared for during your time away. I understand how important your pets are to you, so I offer regular updates and photos to reassure you that they are happy and content.
“Diane is wonderful! My dog loves her and enjoys getting to walk and play while I am work each day! She always communicates well, is flexible with scheduling, and goes above and beyond to care for my babies!”
About: 🐾 Hi, I'm Brianna! I know they're more than just animals they're family, and they deserve compassionate, reliable care while you're away. I bring over 4+ years of hands on experience working in an animal hospital, along with a Veterinary Technology degree from Gwinnett Technical College. My professional background has given me experience caring for pets of all ages, breeds, temperaments, and medical needs. I'm comfortable administering medications, caring for senior pets, monitoring for signs of illness, and helping anxious pets feel safe and comfortable. In addition to dogs and cats, I also have experience caring for exotic animals, so if your family includes rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, reptiles, birds, or other small pets, you can feel confident they're in knowledgeable hands. Every pet has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to provide individualized care tailored to their needs. Whether it's long walks, playtime, enrichment, feeding, medication, or plenty of cuddles, I'll treat your pets with the same love and attention I would my own. You'll always stay connected while you're away with regular updates, photos, and videos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for. My goal is to build lasting relationships with both pets and their families by providing dependable, professional, and loving care every visit. I look forward to meeting you and becoming your pet's new favorite sitter! 🐶🐱🐰🦜🦎❤️ I work part-time night shifts, which gives me flexibility during the day to care for pets. My schedule allows me to provide morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I carefully plan around my work hours to ensure every pet receives dependable, consistent care. I always prioritize keeping pets on their normal routine and will communicate clearly about my availability so you know exactly what to expect. Whether your pet is staying in my home for boarding or doggy daycare, or I'm visiting them for drop-in visits or walks, my goal is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise needs, medications, and favorite activities. For boarding and daycare, I provide a clean, safe, low stress environment with plenty of supervised play, enrichment, rest, and one on one attention. During drop in visits and walks, I make sure pets get the care, exercise, companionship, and routine they're used to while you're away

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Oakwood
Kathryn was amazing with my two dogs! I am a very nervous dog parent with leaving my dogs with someone while away but I had an upcoming trip. I found Kathryn and had a meet and greet with the dogs before hand. She made me feel comfortable leaving my dogs in her care! My building lost power during me being away and she kept me updated on that as well as making sure the dogs were okay. She sent updates and photos of the dog on each drop in! I would definitely recommend Kathryn to anyone looking for someone to watch their pets and will use her in the future!
Amber did an excellent job taking care of my dog and 2 cats. My dog is diabetic and requires insulin injections twice a day plus several other medications as well as a special diet. My two cats are finicky eaters and will only eat what they want. Amber handled the medications and special diets like a pro and kept me up to date in great detail while I was away. She took care of my babies like they were her own and that made me feel very stress-free being away from them. I would highly recommend Amber and will definitely use her in the future.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Oakwood 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 Oakwood 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.

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 Oakwood 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.
