“Tidarat is a highly motivated pet care worker—I cannot recommend her enough! I needed drop in visits for a couple of days and she help with my 3 cats, and also my cockatiel bird, Tidarat checked in on time of the appointment and maintained communication with me at all times trough the app. When she was done she provided me with a bunch of photos and a detailed message about the visit. I felt so good after she was done because I knew - and could see- that my furry kids were happy :) she is very detailed oriented, and I will for sure hire her again for future drop in visits.”
“Liberty took incredible care of our two cats! Excellent communication the entire time, sharing very detailed report cards and plenty of pictures and videos of the boys having fun. She gave them lots of attention and quality play time. She went above and beyond in both caring for them and keeping the kitty areas tidy, I highly recommend! Thanks again Liberty! 😊”
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 :)
“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.”
“Alyssa was fantastic with our dogs. She was willing to do so much for us while we were gone and she was more than happy to spend time with our very crazy and large dogs. She kept us updated on each visit which made us feel more comfortable knowing they were in good hands. Will definitely use her again!”
“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.”
“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: Hi, I’m Annie! I currently work in the human medical field these days BUT I have 6 years of veterinary experience as a veterinary technician. I am Fear Free certified and miss the fur babies and would love to help out!! I am off on the weekends. And get off at 2pm on Fridays. I am very flexible with bookings even if you needed someone ASAP. I understand life happens and need to make sure your fur friends are taken care of. I would be more than happy to take your pet on a walk, go to the park if allowing, play and get some energy out, make sure always to have food and or water and a comfy place to rest at night.
About: My experience pet-sitting (before I joined Rover in 2019) began at age 14 and has consisted of taking care of neighbors and family friends' dogs, eventually getting gigs through personal referrals. Helping others look after their animals and taking care of them as my own while making a few extra dollars is the perfect gig for me! Dog-walking/sitting: I'm pretty active and love the outdoors, so I'm more than willing to take your fur baby on short or long excursions outside. Some of my favorite memories are taking my family's dogs on long walks and spending time with them at the lake. Cat-sitting: I love both cats AND dogs for very different reasons. Dogs are awesome because they're friendly, energetic, and man's best friend! Cats are so different in that they are sooo relaxing, hands-off compared to dogs, and relatively independent. Other animals: I have little experience in this arena but would love to take care of any other pets you may have! I'd love the opportunity to take care of your pets while you're away! :) I work full-time from home when not traveling for my job. Because I love animals and travel too much to have some of my own, pet sitting is the perfect, flexible gig for me! I treat my clients’ pets as my own, so I do let them on the bed or couch to snuggle if that’s something you allow in your home. My personal motto is “leave no trace” typically used for the outdoors, but that is also the standard I abide by when staying in a client’s home.
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: As an experienced pet sitter, I provide dependable, compassionate care tailored to each pet’s unique personality and needs. With a strong understanding of animal behavior and routines, I ensure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding schedules, medication administration, or extra cuddle time, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your furry family members are in caring, capable hands. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a stay-at-home mom. I’m home most of the day, so I’m able to provide regular feedings, walks, playtime, and attention. I plan my schedule around making sure pets are comfortable, exercised, and cared for throughout the day. Being home also allows me to keep a close eye on them and make sure they feel safe and part of the household. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications if needed. I keep their environment clean, give them attention and affection, and make sure they get enough exercise and bathroom breaks. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I treat every pet like part of the family and make sure their routine stays as normal and stress-free as possible.
About: Animals have been a big part of my life for many years. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, as well as cats, horses, birds, reptiles, and other farm animals. Having owned dogs ranging from 4 to 125 pounds, I’m comfortable with a wide variety of breeds, temperaments, and care needs. I can administer medications to most dogs and am happy to follow detailed instructions for feeding, exercise, and daily routines. I know how important consistency is for pets, and I work hard to care for them exactly as you would. I love taking photos and sending regular updates, so you’ll know your pet is happy, safe, and receiving plenty of attention while you’re away. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care and give you peace of mind. I have recently retired from full-time employment as a teacher. I spend my free time with the animals on my small personal farm and volunteering with Save the Horses Rescue. I prefer to care for pets in their own environments, adhering closely to their regular routines and feeding. Keeping schedules structured minimizes stress for most animals. I understand the importance of a consistent diet, especially when owners are away.
About: Taking care of animals is my passion specially dogs. My baby is an English Bulldog named Hercules and for more than seven years I have known what is taking care of a loved one. We hope we can help you to take care of your buddie or princess while you are traveling for business or enjoying your vacation. We love the park or just play in our BIG FENCED backyard if your dog doesn't do a lot of activity we can just chill @ the living room while we watch a movie. Feel free to call anytime of you are missing your baby or just to check in. Will be a pleasure to meet new pet-friends Hercules is already excited and ready to welcome new pals. I work from home so I can care and give love to your dog during the day. I will make sure your pup feels at home I have a fenced yard and plenty of space for him or her to run and play. I’m very active and I exercise every morning if they like to go for a walk early morning I’m always ready.
“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 grew up on a farm and love taking care of animals!! I also have a dog of my own that I love very much :) I work part time at a nursing home and love helping animals… I do this as often as possible and enjoy it so much. This is something I do regularly. I have a big yard, I love going on walks, I stay at home most of the day!!! Dog parks are my favorite place to take my pets
About: I have a deaf domestic short hair cat. Her name is Bean, she is 3 years old, and she loves shadows. I also grew up with two yellow labs, Nyla and Alyn (yes their names are the other spelled backwards don't ask). I am currently a Physical Therapy Doctoral student so I will be a part time service because my grades are important to me, but I am available for lots of play time, potty breaks, and long walks. My cat is a drama queen, so I would likely be unable to take your animal in. I am, however, available for walks, drops ins, etc.
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: Pet sitting is not something I expected to take off for me like it did but it has became a big part of my life and I absolutely love it. Animals are healing to my soul and they bring me so much joy and comfort. I would love to take care and love on your fur babe or babies!! My prices are negotiable depending on maintenance and location! :) Pet sitting, staying active, reading, and hanging out with friends/family is what I love to do!! All of the work I do is very flexible so it's easy for me to move my schedule around to fit your needs! I don't house sit at my own home. I would love to, but I rent a room from a family that has two dogs of their own.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Oakwood
Liberty took great care of our two cats! She sent very detailed updates each day and several pictures which we loved getting! Our cats warmed up to her quickly. She also left our place spotless. We had peace of mind while on our trip knowing our cats were in great hands!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Oakwood is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $23 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,536 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Oakwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
