“We are so thankful for Tid! She did an awesome job caring for our pup, Bailey. She took her for walks and spent time each visit to play and interact with her. We came home to a well cared for and well loved pup.”
“If you’re looking for someone who will love your pets like you do, look no further. Brenda drops in on my babies 3 days a week and let me tell you, I see the notifications and breathe a sign of relief knowing that my kids are in great hands. We call her Auntie Brenda in my house and let me tell you, she’s part of the family.”
“Samantha was absolutely incredible! Highly communicative, quick to respond to any messages, great rapport with all my animals. We left feeling comfortable and came home to happy, well-cared for fur babies.. could not have asked for anything more! We will definitely be using Samantha again”
“I have used Raima for drop-ins for about a month now and I can't say enough great things! She takes care of my 2 dogs so well and is very quick to respond to any requests. I truly appreciate her and the care that she gives Oakley and Sutton. Would highly recommend!”
About: Hi I’m Liz and I absolutely love animals! When I was younger I was always wanting to help out any animal I could find. I grew up with cats and a dog but once I got married my husband was allergic to cats so I never got to own my own cat. But I foster dogs on the side! I don’t work with any agencies, I just help certain life or death situations or senior pups who were denied proper care. I currently own 7 dogs ranging from all ages puppy to senior. I also own what most people call “difficult” breeds Akitas, Shibas, huskies, German Shepherds, Pomeranians, and Samoyed! I have a few puppies in training at my house and would love to share my knowledge of dogs with others! If you have training questions I’d love to help you and get you on the right track! I can’t wait to meet your pup! I’m currently working full time but I get off at 3-4pm each day and I am off Saturday and Sunday. I have a lot of wiggle room and would love to accommodate any way I can! I want to care for your pet in the same manner you do! I want your pet to feel like I am a second care human they are close and comfortable with. I will follow your instructions to a “T” so they aren’t left missing you too much! Right now I will only be offering your home for services but maybe some day mine as well :)
About: I've spent years caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, and hamsters. Over the years, my family has owned multiple pets including bunnies, cats, and dogs from black labs to havanese. Those experiences have taught me how to understand different personalities, routines, and care needs while giving each pet the individual attention they deserve. I'm patient, dependable, attentive, and flexible, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know every animal I meet. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away, and I'll care for them with the same kindness and dedication I would give my own pets. I am available everyday from 7 in the morning until 8 in the evening up to 3 visits a day with 2 outside breaks and 1 longer walk. For bunnies and cats, play sessions and exercise as needed. I will follow your pets routine, providing plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while making sure they always feel safe and comfortable. I like to arrange a meeting prior to the first day of sitting to get aquatinted with your pet in its space. My three years of experience as a camp leader and coach have taught me to be responsible, patient, attentive, and adaptable.
“Alexis has been so sweet with our dog Shiloh, and so willing to be flexible with our changing schedules! She spends time with our girl, and is excellent at communicating with us. We would trust her to take care of our baby anytime, and we don’t just say that about anyone!!”
“Alletta is an amazing pet sitter and really enjoys the pets (in our case, dogs). Our dogs completely bonded with her and were obviously happy to see her. Alletta also noticed a leak in our hose nozzle and turned the water off, so it would not continue to leak.”
“Anna Kate was a great sitter.Miss Kitty is very shy but Anna Kate made her feel safe and she loved seeing Anna Kate every morning. She did everything we needed and we were very pleased . Highly recommend her and we will have her sit again for us.”
“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.”
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: 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!
“Kaley is amazing!! She took very well care of my fur babies :) they were so excited to see her every day and enjoyed her company. I definitely recommend her and use her services again in the future!! She also takes the best pictures!! You can always see your pets having the best time with her!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Oakwood on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,628 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Oakwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Oakwood. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
