About: Hi! I’m Mary, but I usually go by Amber. I’ve raised and cared for dogs most of my life. I would love to help you with your check ins, walks, daycare, or boarding needs. I also have experience with medication administration if needed. I work part time, so I have a wide range of availability. I have a car and can drive to your location or host your loved one in my home. I have a single family house with a large fenced in yard. I also live in a big lovely neighborhood with plenty of space for walks. I do not currently have any pets, so your pet to have individual attention if required.

About: I get a lot of pleasure assisting busy professionals with their pet sitting needs. I provide a nurturing and loving environment for your special pets in a very tranquil setting. Your pets will be treated as if they were my own. My husband and I will treat your pet with the utmost care and attention. References available upon request.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes. My family has also fostered puppies for the past 5–6 years, which has given me experience with young dogs, routines, patience, and providing a safe, loving environment. Friends and family have always trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets like they’re my own. I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time to dedicate to your pets before starting my full-time role in July. Once I begin, I’ll only be in office two days a week, so I’ll still have lots of availability. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to accommodate a variety of schedules and care needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fenced yard and one friendly small dog who loves making new friends. Whether caring for your dog in my home or yours, I’ll make sure they feel loved, safe, active, and comfortable. I enjoy long walks, playtime, and giving pets lots of attention and care while you’re away.
“Laura has been excellent for us. Our dog can be a handful around other dogs and Laura shows her expertise in keeping things calm during walks. Communication has been great and we’ve never had any scheduling issues. Laura’s rover cards are excellent and we get plenty of pictures! We’re really grateful we found Laura and that she had the availability for us. Highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a kind, reliable, trustworthy dog walker.”


About: I’m a reliable pet sitter who treats every pet like my own! I’m comfortable caring for puppies and have lots of experience taking care of neighbors dogs, as well as my own. I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. I’m able to make time for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention and care they need. I provide loving and reliable care in your pet’s familiar home environment, helping them stay comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I follow your pet’s routine closely and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and care.
“Have had Jessica walk our dogs and also provide drop in visits while we were on vacation. She does a great job, lots of pics and our dogs love her. Would not hesitate to hire her again! Iggy and Obi love her.”

“Thomas is so good working with our 14 1/2 year old black lab with some serious arthritis. He helps her up the stairs and competently gets her on and off the boat. When Thomas is here, we don’t worry about her while we are away. He goes above and beyond for our old girl with a smile and kind words.”


About: Hi there! My name is Stacia and I’ve taken care of animals my whole life. I am a dog owner too! My older dog recently passed in March. He had a pericardial effusion and diagnosed anxiety. My other pup is about to turn 2 in July. I’m familiar with ensuring the environment is right for your dog whether they are in my home or I am dropping in to spend time / walk your dog. I understand the importance of making sure your guidelines for your pet are followed. I can give medications, follow training rules, walk large dogs, handle dogs that aren’t friendly with other people or dogs, high anxiety, and have disabilities (ex. Deaf, blind). If you have any additional questions for me, please don’t hesitate to ask. I believe in open communication to ensure the safety of you, your pet, me and mine! I work fully remote and am able to support drop ins, walks and daycare. I walk my dog morning, mid day and evening for 30 min to an hour at a time. I’d like to be able to support other people who need assistance. I have a fenced yard in our home and a friendly, playful 2 year old male lab (fixed). If your dog is in our home, they need to be friendly with other dogs and potentially able to be closed into a room for a period of time if I have a meeting. I’d make sure to communicate this information when you are booking. For walks / being in your home, I ask for honesty in how you want your dog to be cared for. Ideally I’d prefer they are friendly so that I can bring my dog for walks too but understand that’s not always the case.
“Mark did a fantastic job with our new dog Teddy! We are long-time dog owners as is Mark, and his years of experience and bed-side manner was certainly evident and provided great peace of mind while we were away from our new pup. We will be relying on Mark in the future and strongly recommend him to others!”

“Andrew did a great job this weekend! He walked my very large Labradoodle and St Bernadoodle and made sure both dogs and my 3 cats were fed and had water. He followed the care instructions, was extremely communicative and arrived promptly at the booking time. I will absolutely be using Andrew for future bookings, highly recommended!!”

“Stella is awesome with a great personality! She is timely and very reliable. We have 2 dogs and 1 puppy. She did an excellent job caring for them. She definitely loves animals. We felt so comfortable and had no worries leaving our fur babies with her.”

About: I’ve owned 5 dogs through my life & have always loved caring for others’ pets as well. Being around animals is my happy place 🥰 I work part time on a charter boat & would love something besides gardening to keep me busy during the week. Also trying to save up for an Rv to travel I’ve been around all types of different kinds of dogs and know how to deal with different personalities and needs ❤️ from weeks old to golden days I love them all

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds & sizes over the years. I am comfortable with puppies through senior age. Friends, family and clients have relied on me to feed, walk, play with, clean up after, and love their pups as if they were my own. I can administer medications, including injections, and sq fluids. I can practice obedience skills during my visits as well. I’m available for pet care visits on Wednesday & Thursday mornings as well as evenings, Friday afternoon-evening, and all day on Saturdays and Sundays. I am also available on major holidays. Mondays and Tuesdays are on a case-by-case basis. I am very safety conscious and will care for your pets as carefully as I would my own. I will follow whatever your normal household routine is so that your pets feel safe and comfortable. They thrive with routines! If they use a crate, need treats after potty breaks, want belly rubs after a meal, etc., I am there for it all!
“Sarah really helped me out, again. Work made it difficult to spend time with my dog for a few days. She took her time with him and kept him active during her visits to make him feel happy in my absence.”
“Blinne was fabulous with my highly energetic pup and offered great feedback as to Kali’s behaviors after every walk. Kali would wait excitedly at the door each day for Blinne’s arrival. I will definitely reach out to Blinne again!”

Oakwood dog parents share their Rover experiences
Jessica has been wonderful! I needed help on short notice for my energetic Staffy/Lab mix while I worked overnight shifts, and she exceeded my expectations. She was great with my dog from the very first meet and greet, and clearly has experience handling larger, high-energy dogs. She provided a full 30 minute walk, updates with photos, notes about the visit, and even tracked potty breaks and checked her water. Knowing my dog was getting exercise and attention in the middle of my 12 hour shift made a huge difference and greatly reduced my stress. Jessica has been reliable, professional, communicative, and caring. My dog absolutely loves her, and I feel completely comfortable having her care for my pet. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and experienced dog walker!
