“Liesa is professional and trustworthy. She took care of our dogs when we were out of town. She sent lots of pictures and was respectful to our home. We will 100% hire Liesa again.”
“I Highly recommend Abbi, she is very kind and understanding! I know she took good care of my kitties and they both loved her. Even the one who usually doesn’t come put for people let her hold him and cuddle.”
“Elisa was great! She is professional and great with dogs. This is my first experience with Rover and I’m so happy I found Elisa to take care of my two dogs. I will be booking with her again and I highly recommend her!”
About: I've taken care of animals since I have been 8 years old. I lived in a multi dog and cat household. My parents had extensive knowledge of pets and caring for animals and passed this on to me. Friends have always relied on me to help care for and watch their animals when they are in need. I am trustworthy and reliable. I love meeting new animals and caring for all animals of all shapes and sizes and ages. I generally work Monday-Friday 8 am to 5 pm but I work within walking distance of my home and get a full hour lunch break to come home and check on any pets I am caring for. Weekends are generally pretty open for me and I enjoy staying home and spending time with my personal pets and hopefully yours as well. I have a fully fenced yard with a six foot privacy fence. We also have three cameras in our back yard that we can see the whole back yard at all times.
“Emily has only been working with us and our sweet pup for a week so far and we are very impressed! She’s punctual, shares detailed information with us and is very sweet. We are excited to continue working with her!”
“It was really great to have Abby drop by to look after my kitties while I was away for my wedding during the holidays. I could be free of worries during my time away knowing they were in good hands.”
About: I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone new. My goal is to give you peace of mind by caring for your pet like they’re one of my own. During every visit, your pet will get more than just the basics. They’ll get plenty of attention, playtime, enrichment, and the same love and care they’re used to at home. You’ll always know how your pet is doing while you’re away. I love keeping owners updated, so you can expect clear communication, lots of photos, and little updates from your pet’s day. With over 6 years of pet-sitting experience, I’ve learned that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I take the time to get to know each one so they feel comfortable, understood, and well cared for. I’m available for pet sitting and drop-ins, and can provide care outside of my work hours. I work Monday through Friday from 8–4, with an hour lunch break. I’m typically able to provide potty breaks about every 4 hours, including the midday visit during my lunch break (weekdays). I’m fully available before and after work, as well as on weekends. I’m very tidy, organized, and respectful of everyones homes, and I make sure everything is kept clean and well cared for during my stay. I care for each pet as if they were my own, taking the time to assess their individual needs, routines, and comfort levels. I always follow your preferences to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and at ease while in my care.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since a very young age. I'm passionate about animal well-being. I volunteered for a non-profit rescue as a teenager where I developed this passion. I currently have a wonderful rescued dog that has special needs. I don't currently offer boarding in my home but I could drop in regularly on the weekends to assist with pet needs or throughout the week. I currently don't offer boarding but could possibly accommodate in the future. I make sure pets needs are taken care of such as food, water, and walks and then lots of fun playing! I do practice safety and ask that if your pet needs a muzzle or another accommodations to please provide those.
About: I will happily care for your pet in the comfort of their own home. Whether your pet wants to lay around or go for a hike, we can do that! I have experience training a dog of my own, so I can maintain your usual basic training/rules if needed. I have a great deal of experience giving medication, both liquid and pills to cats and dogs. I am also open to more than just cats and dogs! I have cared for birds, reptiles, frogs, fish, and more. I’m currently working 8am-5pm Monday-Friday. I understand if this does not work for your pets needs, but I assure you I deeply enjoy caring for animals and your pets are a priority to me. It would be amazing to be able to support myself pet sitting, you can help me achieve that! I will care for your pet in your own home. I will abide by the rules of your home and look after your pet like they were my own.
About: After having worked in a veterinary office and years of pet sitting, I believe I can provide excellent care for your dog so you won't have to worry. I am able to provide house visits throughout the day, frequent walks, and some play time. I am aware of dog habits, training, and social interactions allowing for me to be aware of what the dog is meaning or wanting. I am physically fit, so I look forward to taking your dog on walks or runs and having a fun play day. Also I am not afraid to provide any bathing or special care your pup may need while you are away. I look forward to speaking with you and having a great time with your pup!! Having a dog myself that had some particular health issues, I am very familiar with the need to having someone who cares and knows what they are doing when taking care of my pet and therefore I supply the same amount of time, care and patience to others pets as well. I am very particular about my own home and therefore treat others homes the same. And if possible leave it better than how I found it. I make sure everything is cleaned up and ready for when the owners return.
“We are so happy to have found Brooke! We had to be away for the day a few days after our senior dog had surgery and Brooke came to check on the pups while we were gone. She was very attentive to the senior dogs needs and the other two were really happy to get some snuggles with her.”
“Katie was great! Gave my kitties lots of fun time and made sure to keep them out of trouble when they were trying to get into all the treats. She also brought packages in and made sure that everything was okay at the house. I would definitely recommend her and I will be using her again a few more times over the next month.”
About: Hi all, I've have had years of experience with all sorts of Pets from dogs,cats , reptiles , rabbits and so many more. All my friends and family call me if they ever have questions about their animal problems, or if there dog or guinea pig needs it's nails clipped. I love all dogs and cats of all sizes. I already have watched dogs for my friends for almost 3 weeks everytime they go one vacation. And I'm ready of all of your pets needs to ensure that you have one less thing to worried about while out the house. I have very flexible hours with my job so if you book a few weeks ahead or even days I am able to ensure I can book your appointment and I will have all the time that your pets will need. I don't crate at home but with walking or being at your home I will treat it with the most respect and make sure to abide by any rules for me or rules for your pets .

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Oakwood
We have used Cassie multiple times before, but we decided to use a neighborhood kid to help with the dogs for a long weekend away this time… but he had a family emergency and couldn’t finish his commitment with very little notice. I was freaking out and 3 hours away, and messaged Cassie- she stepped right in and took over caring for the dogs with just a few hours notice. THANK YOU Cassie- you are always reliable and take great care of Petey and Dexter- we will only use you from now on!!
Dorothy was fantastic! The meet and greet went great and she kept in communication the whole time we were gone. She was prompt about making sure the house was secure. Our cat normally roams outside, but she noticed he was hanging out under cars in the front, which is not normal, and she made sure to get him out from under and back inside. She was very nice and very responsible. We will def book her again.
Brooke was great!! I was so nervous using rover for the first time, she was a breeze to work with and made us feel very comfortable. I loved the rover cards, she kept us updated and was very communicative. Highly recommend, we will be working together again!
Gracie was the first Rover we ever hired. I felt so much more comfortable when I read that she is working as a vet tech and is obtaining education for that field as well. Part of me doesn’t want to leave a review because I want to be able to book with her as much as possible haha. But she is such a kind person who genuinely cares for animals and would be such a great addition to your pet’s team. 10/10 recommend!
Brooke is amazing! Accepted my last-minute booking and arranged a meet & greet beforehand. Delta loved her right away & Brooke was very patient with her high energy jumping and affection! I felt totally comfortable leaving Delta in her care for a midday potty break while I had a very long day at work. Loved getting photos during her visit. Will absolutely book again if the need arrises!
Erin is amazing! She has taken care of my pups a few times now and she is incredibly responsive, is caring and loving to them, and goes above and beyond any expectations I would ever have. If you want your fur babies cared for while away, with no worry, choose Erin! I cannot say enough good things!

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.
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Oakwood with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Oakwood. On Rover:

- 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.
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.
