About: Hello! I'm Valentina! I have experience caring for pets of different ages and needs, including my 10 year old cat and my sister’s 4 year old dog. Most recently, I cared for a Giant Schnauzer puppy right through his crazy growth spurt, from the day he came home at 3 months old all the way until he was 7 months old! Working with a high energy, big pup takes a lot of patience, consistency, and structure, so I kept him on a solid daily routine with twice a day walks to burn off that puppy energy and practice good leash manners. I’m also a very active person and genuinely enjoy being outdoors, walking, and staying on the move, so I love being able to bring that energy and enthusiasm into caring for pets. I have a flexible schedule and am generally available for walks and drop-in visits in the morning from 7:30 to 9:30 AM and in the afternoon from 3:30 to 5:30 PM. I’m happy to be flexible and work around your pet’s routine whenever possible. A little advance notice is always appreciated so I can plan my day and make sure I can give your pup the time, care, and attention they deserve. I love caring for pets in their own homes, where they can stay comfortable and stick to their familiar routine. I find that pets tend to feel more relaxed and at ease in their own space, especially when their owners are away. I’m happy to follow their normal routine, whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, or any special instructions, and I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away.
“Jennifer did an incredible job caring for our cat! She was thoroughly communicative, kind, and attentive to our cat's needs. She's professional and respectful and we highly recommend her!”
About: I spent a month caring for an elderly dog back in college. I ensured she received her daily medications and took her on walks on the icy Midwest winter sidewalks. She was a joy to spend time with! I currently work part time and on my own schedule, so I am flexible and able to schedule a visit that can meet your fur-baby’s needs! I wake up early and am available in the mornings and in the afternoons, and also can make time for nighttime visits. I offer drop in services, dog walking and housesitting! I am happy to arrange with you the best possible care for your pet and learn more about how to care for your unique fur-baby! Please tell me your needs and wishes and we will communicate and create a plan together. I am happy to send photos and updates of your pet at the frequency you would like! (By the way, I am known for my photography and have been complimented on the photos I take of pets not only because they are adorable but also because they capture the essence of their personality)
“Mya just took care of our two cats with a week of drop-in visits and we couldn’t be happier! She is a pleasure to work with and both of our cats were very comfortable with her and well taken care of. Mya cleaned up after them beautifully (not an easy job) and her notes and fantastic pictures were highlights for us each day. So, so happy we found Mya and now look forward to having her care for our cats again soon!”
“Mitzi was incredible with Pumpkin! She took her on walks, played with her, gave her treats, and communicated with all updates throughout the day. I already plan to have her watch Pumpkin again!”
“Hannah was great! I booked her to spend a couple of hours with our dogs during the day while our night sitter was working. We have a Corso. Hannah was gracious to come meet our dogs prior to appointment.”
“Lily was great with my cats spin trying to get my older cat to take meds (to no avail—he’s very stubborn and smart and is now resisting me also). She was also able to get my other cat to eat and come out of hiding despite being very shy”
“Yiting is amazing! She is very responsive, communicative, and caring. Mico was taken good care of by her while I was away. She sent pictures, videos and detailed updates. I would definitely have her help to drop in again! Cheers!”
“Taylor was very quick to respond to our request and we were so glad she was available. We all had a great experience: our cat was happy and we had a nice time away without worrying!! Taylor came by to meet our cat, Crowley, and asked great questions so she knew what he liked and needed before her visits. While we were away, Taylor sent lots of pictures so that we could see how our pet was doing. She was on time and communicated well! I highly recommend Taylor, she provided excellent, kind, and responsible care for our cat.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was young, and animals have always been a big part of my life. I’m currently a live-in nanny, and I also care for the family’s dogs. When their owners are away, the dogs stay with me and even sleep in my room so they feel safe and comfortable. I currently work part-time as a live-in nanny, which allows me some flexibility for pet care. However, I do have a busy schedule with regular dog-walking clients, so availability can vary. Please message me first to confirm scheduling before booking. I’ll always do my best to accommodate your needs if I have an open time slot. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment for every pet in my care. I carefully follow each dog’s routine, feeding instructions, and any special requirements provided by the owner.
“This was our first time having Isabelle and her dad care for our two cats, and they are delightful caregivers. They were caring, responsive, and the cats clearly loved the visits!”
About: I am very reliable, open, and patient. I have grown up with dogs of all sizes, cats, and even a lizard! I am an active individual who enjoys time outside. I am a teacher looking for additional income that fits with my work schedule. I am open to chat about what you and your family need! I care for pets in clients homes. I treat all pets like my own, treating them with patience and kindness. I always intend to build trust between myself and the animals I interact with. I have experience with senior dogs as well.
“Fantastic!!!We have two young, large dogs (German Shepherd and Bernese Mountain mixes) and Pamela earned their trust immediately and was super trust worthy while we had to be out of two for work unexpectedly. We don’t board our dogs, so we couldn’t leave them anywhere last minute and decided to use Rover for the first time. We will definitely use Rover going forward and highly recommend Pamela to everyone.”
“Juan is AMAZING!! He went above and beyond with communication and over all care! My pup has special meds and Juan had no problem with it when feeding breakfast and dinner(: Juan went out of his way to go to a pet store to grab a sweater for my pup because it was cold out during their walks 🥹 It was so comforting to know Brody was with someone who goes the extra mile!! 10000% recommend!!!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Oakwood
Ajia did a phenomenal job taking care of our two cats, and kept us well-informed throughout. She was considerate, making sure she understood any specific needs, as well as thorough and diligent. Just as importantly, our cats looked forward to seeing her arrive! We would recommend Ajia to anyone.
We absolutely loved working with Alison, who watched our two cats while we were away! Our cats immediately warmed up to her (even our shy cat Moki immediately came out and was comfortable with Alison, which is unusual for Moki!). Alison was a great communicator and sent great updates and photos each day. We hope to hire her next time we need a Catsitter as well!
Elizabeth is the first sitter I ever used for my two cats and I will always rebook with her! She took such great care of my babies and made me feel comfortable knowing they were in good hands especially with one of my cats having a medical condition. Communication was fantastic, she sent an update and photo after every visit, and I could always count on her to be right on time.
Henry was wonderful with our two cats while we were away for a week! He was reliable, caring, and made sure both cats were well taken care of. Both of our cats seemed very comfortable and happy in his company. Henry was great about keeping us updated, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. He was attentive to their needs, dependable, and treated them like his own pets. Coming home to happy, well-cared-for cats made it obvious that they were in great hands. We highly recommend Henry to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. He made leaving our cats for a week stress-free, and we will absolutely book with him again!
Victoria was wonderful with both of my cats. She was caring, attentive, reliable and kept me updated throughout her visits.Even my usually shy cat warmed up and came to her which really showed how gentle and comfortable she made him feel.I felt completely at ease knowing both of my cats were in such good hands. She clearly loves animals and went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and well cared for. I would definitely recommend her and would be happy to book her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Oakwood on Rover is $44.4 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 7,585 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Oakwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
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
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
