“Guadalupe is fantastic! Our very large pup loved her coming over and checking in on him while we're traveling. And our two very shy/skittish cats actually come out to say hello to her when she drops is. Highly recommend”
About: I used to have a successful pet-sitting business where dogs could stay at my house overnight, instead of being stuck in overnight kennels. I had regular clients, but had to end it because I was in high school and doing other extracurricular activities. I've had dogs since I was a small child. They are my family and I would do anything for them. Knowing how much my dogs mean to me, I will treat other's dogs like I would my own. My schedule is very flexible and I have reliable transportation. I think it's very important to make sure dogs are comfortable, happy, and given the care each individual dog requires. Having the opportunity to work with dogs would be something I would love to do- it wouldn't feel like work.
About: 16 years ago, my first dog landed in my lap and everything spiraled from there! I have always been an animal lover, which pushed me into volunteering at an animal shelter in Atlanta when I was 20. After falling in love with the experience, I decided to change my career path from Education to Veterinary Medicine. Since then, I have worked in a full service Veterinary Hospital, a Low Cost Spay and Neuter Clinic and have many many years with Animal Rescue. I fostered many animals in my home where I have nursed puppies, kitties and adult dogs back to health. I’ve trained and properly introduced many animals. I am able to draw blood, give vaccines, IV fluids, bottle feed, bathe, give nail trims and I am CPR certified! I have created a daily routine for my own dogs and cats that works with my family/work life. Your pet would just join in on the fun! Depending on your pet’s needs, I have a fenced in backyard as well as friendly dogs of my own to keep them company for a play date. If they prefer their alone time, then they will have their own space where they can stretch out and relax. All dogs have the option to be crated for bedtime, meals and when I need to leave the house. As for cats, if boarding in our home, they will have their own room. If this is a kitten, we would keep them out and about in our main living area for all the extra snuggles and playtime!
“Erica and her family are the absolute best ever!! Super kind and took amazing care of our home and our babies! She went above and beyond and is a genuine and amazing person. 10/10 recommend! Best experience ever”

Safety is biggest priority 😎 - I am always on my phone to ensure that I respond promptly to your texts.

From eating, to playing to taking naps, I’ll be sure to capture as much as I can for you. 🐶 -I do have a rule in my home for privacy and safety reasons where I do not allow people inside. This is to ensure safety in my private home and space! I am more than happy to send videos / pictures of the space upon request if that is an issue, as well as lots of pictures while your pup is here! Please let me know if you have any concerns about this so that we are on the same page at drop off 🤩 - I only accept friendly dogs who get along with others and have been socialized well.

“Courtney was so great with watching after our “old man”. She went out of her way to make sure he was comfortable and happy while we were away. We were lucky to have her come by.”

About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. I am great with puppy training and all cares needed for your furry friends. 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. I also have experience with dogs with anxiety and willing to give medication if needed. Your furry friends are always very well taken care of with me!
“Sydney was so helpful while I was away and Cheez and Maple were so happy she came to take care of them. She communicated and shared updates with each visit which made me feel at peace during my time away!”
About: I have owned and taken care of animals of all breeds, sizes, colors and temperaments. I strongly believe that all pets want to be good boys and girls, and I love being able to make them feel that way. Every pet is an individual with varying needs that help them to be their best self. I have experience with newborn puppies as well as senior dogs. I love to work with high energy dogs, but also enjoy being with dogs who might need a little more attention, tenderness and sensitivity. I understand that every dog owner wants nothing more than for their best friends to be comfortable and happy. I have an organized schedule and I would love for your good boys and good girls to become a part of that routine. I am currently working from home so my schedule is very flexible and I am home a majority of the time. My goal is to make your pet feel as at home as possible. I want to keep your pets routine the exact same as what you do at home. Our yard is partially fenced in so we take dogs out for potty breaks on the leash. Our pets love having other new friends visit us and they get along with everyone. I always feed pets separately from each other just to ensure everyone’s safety.
“Seth stepped in at literally the last minute after our sitter had to cancel. He was consistent and helpful with regular communication and pics. I appreciate his great service and we WILL book with him from now on! Thanks Seth!”
About: Hi! I’m Britt 🐾 I’m an experienced pet caregiver and professional dog groomer who genuinely loves getting to know every animal’s personality. Whether your pup is energetic and adventurous, a little shy, elderly and needing extra patience, or just wants to spend the day getting spoiled, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. I have hands-on experience with dog grooming, bathing, kennel care, pet sitting, and caring for animals of all ages and personalities. I’ve also cared for cats and a variety of other animals, including reptiles, ferrets, birds, ducks, and chickens! Because of my grooming background, I’m comfortable with pets who need a little extra handling, patience, hygiene care, or routine maintenance. I understand that every pet has their own routine, quirks, boundaries, and comfort level—and I’ll do my best to keep their normal routine while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my priorities. I’m big on communication and love sending updates and photos so you never have to wonder how your fur baby is doing. 🥰 My goal is simple: when you’re away, I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and completely spoiled. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! 🐾💕 I currently work Monday–Friday, but most days I’m home by around 2–3 PM. I’m available for morning and evening check-ins, walks, drop-ins, and overnight care, and I’m happy to discuss what works best for your pet’s routine. For in-home boarding, I have a dedicated, comfortable space available for visiting pets where they can relax and have their own quiet area when they need downtime. I also have a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time and exercise. I have reliable transportation and can also provide overnight house sitting in your home when your pet is more comfortable in their own environment. I’m big on communication and will keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay. 🐶📸 I provide a clean, calm, and supervised environment where pets can feel safe, comfortable, and at home. With professional experience in dog grooming, bathing, kennel care, and pet sitting, I’m experienced in safe animal handling, sanitation, recognizing body language, and caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including meals, medications, exercise, potty breaks, and downtime. I also believe enrichment and one-on-one attention are just as important as basic care. My goal is for every pet to feel comfortable and loved while their family is away.
“Thank you so much Angel. I will use him again in the future he did an amazing job with turbo an snickers an they were so happy to see me when I got back. Thank you again Angel.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Oakwood
Tid is amazing. She provided great reports on our two dogs while we were away. You could really see that the dogs loved her and weren’t stressed with us being away. We are so thankful we found her and we are looking forward to using her again! Thank you, Tid!
Amber has done a great job with my pets including an elderly blind dog who need insulin and other medications and is finicky about eating sometimes. She took great care of my dog and cats and worked with me to solve a few issues that occurred while I was gone. I would highly recommend Amber! I could enjoy my time away from home knowing they were being loved on and having such great care.
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!

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.
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.

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 Meet & Greet .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
