About: I’ve been caring for pets for the past five years. Through petsitting for friends, multiple overnight housesitting stints, and work at a dog daycare, I’ve gained experience with lots of different animals including small and large dog breeds of varying energy levels, cats, fish, rabbits, and chickens. I’m meticulous about feeding instructions and medication administration, making sure each pet gets exactly what they need. I’ve become best friends with a few dogs who love people but struggle with other dogs, so I’m very good at shortening the leash and making space when needed. You’ll never have to wonder how your fur baby is doing because I’m proactive and regular with updates. Ultimately, my goal is to make your pet feel safe and happy and to give you peace of mind while you have to be away. I work part time and remotely, so my schedule is flexible! I have church and family responsibilities that command my attention during the week, but I still have plenty of time, especially on the weekends! Most of my past experience petsitting has been with overnight stays. I’ve always left the environment better than I found it, and because my work is remote, I will be able to give your pet the care and attention they need and deserve.
“Excellent customer service!!! Lei is a very special kind of sitter !!! She was VEEEERY patient with our pet Milo, who is very grumpy and reactive. She won his trust and he became very fond of her. I definitely recommend Lei to be your next sitter!!! Thankful and honored by her caring demeanor.”
“We love working with Taylor for our cat-care needs! She’s extremely responsible, communicative and caring. We would happily recommend her to anyone in the area looking for cat care!”
“Mya was amazing! She took wonderful care of my cat, and she sent detailed updates with plenty of pictures :) Would recommend her to anyone and will definitely book her again!”
About: I’ve been around cats and dogs ever since I was young. As an adult, my friends have asked me to watch their pets multiple times. Taking care of the same animals again and again has enabled me to build trust with them and we have a great time together. Highlights include play fetch, scratches behind the ears, and exploring the great outdoors on walks. I work a regular 9-5 job, which allows me to walk or drop-in on your pet when life takes you out of town for the weekend. From dog walking to drop-ins, I like to keep the animal’s routine so they feel comfortable and safe. I always follow the instructions the owners leave for me so that the pets can continue to receive the best care possible.
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.
“Hannah was excellent with our 3 dachshund dogs during our vacation. She came and met them before our trip to meet them and to get a feel for our babies and home. She communicated frequently with us and is great at listening to everything we told her about there personalities. I was concerned that one of our puppies would not be too friendly with a stranger and I left there snacks outside for her to come in with. That helped so much!! I would most definitely recommend Hannah to everyone wanting to ensure your fur babies are well cared for while you are away!!!”
“Yiting was very attentive and caring to my cat while I was away. She was communicative and professional, and made my cat feel well taken care of”
“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!”
“Jen was wonderful. She came to meet and greet my two cats and ensured she understood the process of getting in and out and their daily routines. She clearly has an affinity for them as even my more anxious cat became comfortable with her after just a couple visits.”
“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’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 is the third time we have booked Amber for drop-in visits. She is an excellent pet sitter. Our dog is nervous around strangers. Amber has made him feel at ease and he looks forward to seeing her. She communicates frequently and always sends photos. We very much appreciate Amber and will definitely book her again.”
“Maria is so thoughtful when taking care of my cat! She provides detailed, fun updates and I can tell my cat enjoys when Maria stops by. Highly highly recommend for someone reliable, timely, and great with cats!”
“Pamela is the best!! She took such good care of our cats, and I'm pretty sure the house is cleaner now than when we left. :) She sent detailed updates and pictures, and took extra time to play with our cats and wash our their bowls every day. She even watered our flowers outside and sent pictures of those too! We will definitely use her again and give her our highest recommendation. Thanks!!”
“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
Katerine & Brian did a great job taking care of my kitten! It was my first time leaving her home alone for multiple days in a row and they made sure they cared for her like their own. I received updates each day with many pictures which made leaving her a little more bearable. I will definitely use them in the future next time I need someone to watch my cat 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 August 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 August 2026, there are 7,562 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.

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.
