“Lulu did an amazing job taking care of my lurcher girl. She gave an end of day report with lots of pictures and kept our house super clean. I hope to have Lulu dog sit for us again in the future.”
“Kristin was very responsive and helpful. Our dog while very sweet can occasionally be particular with the new people she meets (as a rescue pup) Kristin was extremely professional and reassured both us and Daisy and made for a great experience. Thank you!”
“Saffron LOVED Jason! She warmed up to him super quickly and could tell each day he was the perfect fit to watch her while we were gone; lots of snuggles, neighborhood walks, and zoomies. This is the first time someone non-family has watched her and Jason made the experience so seamless with check ins and being super responsive via messages. We look forward to him staying with her again!”
“Erin was wonderful. She went above and beyond in every way, kept us informed, and took great care of the house. Our puppy was 6 months at the time of the vacation, and Erin did great with all of them. I am sure they will all be so happy to see her again!”
“Desire once again did an amazing job taking care of my pup. Communication is on point. It is so nice to go on vacation and know my pup is getting loved and cared for. I highly recommend her for taking care of your pets.”
“Emily took great care of our Westley. She sent me multiple updates and pictures every day which I really appreciated. My dog looked happy and relaxed when she was at our place.”
“My girls LOVED having Jennifer stay with them when we went away for the long Thanksgiving weekend. The baby of my pack is usually quite shy around new people but she instantly fell in love with Jennifer. She did great with all 4 of our furbabies ... from 15 lbs to 150 lbs and 6 months to 17 years.”
“Katy was exceptional with our anxious boys. It's such a relief to know we have a fantastic person to watch our dogs and house! The pics showed they were happy and having a blast. It means the world to us to know they are in such great hands with Katy. Thank you so very much!!!”
“Kate was amazing!! She checked in often and sent photos of my dogs daily! Dolly is usually timid of people but she was really comfortable with Kate! She stayed at my home and was with them majority of the time! They had constant care and attention. When I returned she started laundry for the bedding and towels, and left everything spotless! It doesn’t even look like she was here which is such a blessing to come back to a clean home! I would recommend to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Erin was an exceptional dog sitter. We asked her to stay with our dogs throughout the day, leaving only at night, and she was consistently reliable and present every day. One of our dogs has significant anxiety, and it was clear she felt comfortable and at ease with Erin, which meant a great deal to us. It gave us real peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such capable and caring hands while we were away.”
“Elisa was the best! This was our first Rover experience, and we couldn’t have been more satisfied. She was friendly, communicative, and took great care of Jax while we were away. We appreciated the updates and the peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. We would absolutely book with Elisa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Evelyn did a great job with Stella, who recently went through tail surgery and had some extra needs. She sent photos, cared for Stella well, and left the house in great condition after her stay.”
“Excellent sitter for my 8 year old and 2 1 year old Rottweiler puppies. Mya is a loving and compassionate person. She followed my special instructions to the tee and was especially great with my youngest puppy with epilepsy as one of the 7 dogs in her own household also has epilepsy. I couldn't have asked for a better person than Mya for my last minute booking while I had surgery. Will definitely use her repeatedly! Highly recommend.”
“Luca was such an amazing dog sitter/house sitter! Our 2 bigger dogs loved having him around. They were very happy and content when we got back. Luca sent multiple updates and the house was amazing when we returned! Highly recommend Luca!”
“This was my first time using Rover, and Delaney exceeded all expectations. She shared daily photos, kept me in the loop with thoughtful updates, and delivered a truly five-star experience. I recommend her without hesitation—she’s wonderful, and my dog absolutely adored her!”
“I hesitate to say how amazing Chantelle is because I want her to always be available when I need her! But she is truly the BEST when it comes to house sitting and taking care of our furry guys. We know they are in great hands when she is with them - she sends texts and photos to update us so we don't worry about a thing. We are so grateful to have found Chantelle!”
About: I am an animal lover with a variety of experience in caring for both dogs and cats. I grew up in a loving home with multiple dogs and cats at all times. I am comfortable with both large and small dogs. I want to make sure you don't have to worry about the care your pets are receiving. I will follow all guidelines provided and make sure to give them all the love and attention they deserve. I've also volunteered with both the Humane Society and KC Pet Project.

If looking for boarding, Belle & Abbey (my babies) and my cat Phoebe will be present. If concerned, please let me know and we can discuss options. Please contact me today if your furry babies need some love and attention. I would love to help. I am currently a freelance worker, working from home, with plenty of time to spend with your fur-babies! My schedule is easily adjustable to meet your needs. Available 7 days a week. I am in a 1-story home with a fenced in yard where your dogs will feel right at home. Pets are allowed on the furniture, I have doggie-steps in the living room and bedroom for small dogs or dogs with joint issues. I do have 2 small dogs and 1 cat, if you're concerned about them getting along please let me know and we can discuss options.
“Just had Reuben look after my two senior dogs, good meet and just returned home from my four day trip. Received photographs of dogs throughout trip with updates. Reuben did a great job looking after my two dogs, would not hesitate in using him again. Looked after my place as well as looking after the dogs. Highly recommend Reuben to anyone looking for walking or sitting!!!”
Oakwood pet parents share their Rover experiences
Chantelle did a wonderful job with our chaotic puppy who last minute needed someone to stay with him after contracting Giardia. She was flexible and loved on our puppy while we were gone! She sent us photos and kept us updated. She even administered his medicine and wiped his paws to help him get over his illness.
I recently had to go out of town for an extended business trip. Amber is always excellent with my dog start to finish! I get regular updates and photos and I can tell he was comfortable and well taken care of when I returned. I am always worried about my dog. Some might even call me a helicopter dog parent. But I find my mind more at ease when Amber watches my dog. I cannot express how thankful I am for her services and commitment to the health and happiness of my dog. Thank you, Amber!!
Reuben did absolutely everything we could ask and then some. Extremely professional and courteous, trustworthy - just a genuinely kind human being. Sent fun photos of the cats and dogs without our requiring them. As first time users on this site we had some hesitation about having a stranger stay in our home but I can say with confidence that I would invite Reuben back.
This was an absolutely wonderful experience for us and our dogs. We received lots of pictures and detailed updates every day. I can't say enough good things about this experience with Cat. We will definitely be checking her availability every time we need a dog sitter.
