About: I have owned and cared for pets for my whole life, including cats, dogs, fish and more. When I was growing up my family fostered German and Australian shepherds through K-9 Pet Rescue. I have also raised many litters of kittens and puppies, and ducklings as well! I am a very active person and would love to meet your pets! My schedule is 100% open, 24/7. I work from home and can accommodate any dates or times needed. I am happy to spend the time needed to provide companionship for your pet. I understand the importance of safety and security: indoor cats stay inside and leashed animals remain on leash at all times. I will treat your home and belongings with respect and care.
About: I understand how important it is to feel completely comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care, so I focus on providing dependable, loving, attentive care while keeping pets relaxed and comfortable in their own environment. What sets me apart is my flexible availability, calm personality, and genuine love for animals. I’m patient with shy pets, attentive to routines and special instructions, and I truly enjoy spending quality time with animals rather than just “checking in.” I’m comfortable caring for multiple pets, senior pets, and pets who may need extra attention, slower walks, medications, or a little extra reassurance while their owners are away. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel connected and at ease while traveling. My youngest child has gone off to college, and I’ve lovingly cared for neighbors’, friends’, and family members’ fur babies for years. That’s my grand-fur-baby English Cream Golden in the photo 🥰 I have a very flexible schedule and open availability, so your pets will get lots of attention, affection, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for weekdays, weekends, evenings, overnights, and holidays. I care for every pet as if they were part of my own family and always try to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. During drop-in visits and walks, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, fresh water, meals (if needed), potty breaks, playtime, and lots of love. For overnight stays in a client’s home, I aim to provide a calm, comforting presence so pets feel safe and secure while their owners are away. I’m very respectful of clients’ homes, keep things clean and tidy, and provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind. I’m also comfortable caring for multiple pets, senior pets, and administering basic medications if needed. I’m happy to accommodate each pet’s individual personality, energy level, and routine to help them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away.

About: I have four different dogs of my own of all sizes. From a Great Pyrenees to a mini Border Collie, I have raised all of them since they were puppies. I also help take care of a Golden Retriever that is learning how to live with one eye. When I take care of dogs I make sure to interact with them as much as possible and not just sit and watch them. I am currently attending school at Webber International University. I also play baseball for the school team. I have a pretty light class schedule that leaves parts of my day with plenty of open time as well as my nights being completely free. I would love to spend this time taking care of your dogs! I care for pets by making sure that they stay active and entertained. If a dog has specific needs I have no problem at all catering to those needs to keep the dog comfortable.

About: I’m a retired special educator with a lifelong love for dogs, and I bring the same patience, reliability, and attentiveness to pet care that I did to my years in the classroom. I’ve worked with big dogs, tiny puppies, and dogs with different abilities — including my most recent dog, who was a tripod — so I’m very comfortable adapting to each pup’s unique needs and personality. Over the years, I’ve also worked closely with multiple trainers for my own dogs, which has given me a solid understanding of basic training techniques, positive reinforcement, and how to support good habits. Whether your dog needs a calm, steady presence, an experienced handler, or someone who understands how to support mobility or behavioral differences, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. I treat every dog as if they were my own, and I take pride in being responsible, communicative, and fully dedicated to their comfort and wellbeing. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and routine will always be my top priority. I am a recently retired (but still young!) special educator so I am extremely flexible these days. I’ll keep my calendar up to date for availability. If I am in town, I can often take last minute requests. When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same care and respect as my own. I follow all instructions carefully and can handle essential tasks such as administering oral medications, feeding, checking mail, and watering plants. You can count on me to be responsible, attentive, and dependable.

About: Hey everyone! My name is Mark and I’m a total dog lover. I’ve had dogs my entire life and I started doing house sitting and dog walking when I was 16. I also worked at a feed and seed store, so I have some knowledge on animal nutrition. I work part time at a local sober living community and do some other work from home. Most of the time, I will be available. I will check in and send you at least 2 pictures of your fur baby everyday. When I’m at your place, I will follow every guideline and rule you give me. Your dog will remain the focal point of my attention.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Oakwood
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.

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.

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 .
