“I hit the jackpot on Rover! Laurie was wonderful! This was my first time using Rover, and my first time leaving my cats alone for a few days since I adopted them. Lori was so helpful and reassuring! She came over to my house before I left to meet the cats. While I was gone, she was always on time for drop ins, played with the cats, and sent me multiple pictures. My cats were in great hands and I highly recommend Laurie and can’t wait to book with her again.”
“Misti was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of our animals. I’ve never felt more at ease leaving my animals with someone. We have peace of mind when out of town that our fur babies will not only have their basics cared for, but loved too!”
“Kyle has been a huge help working with our dog who’s got behavioral issues to make sure that not only comforts us but with our own dog. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who’s seeking help with those who need that extra time for your pup to open up.”
“Megan took great care of our pets while we were gone. She sent photos of every time she came by for her check in! Will definitely use her again in the future. Thanks again, Megan!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better, Pet Sitter! Leaving my cat while I was on vacation is never easy but from the moment I met Theresa, I knew they were in excellent hands. She is attentive, reliable, and genuinely caring. She really took the time to get to know my cats, so they were comfortable around her. And I was so thankful she was able and willing to give insulin injections to my diabetic cat. I especially appreciated the regular updates, photos, and little notes about how each visit went. It gave me so much peace of mind. It’s such a relief to find someone who treats your pets like their own. I would absolutely trust Theresa again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, compassionate, and top-notch Pet Sitter!”
“Paola was wonderful to my babies and always made the extra effort. She was on time and spent the entire hour with my babies and I truly appreciate that. She sent me photos, I missed them so much its my first time away from my kitten the pictures were so appreciated. Thanks so much Paola and if I go out of town again im going to be hoping to have you watch them! 🫶🏼”
About: I have had many animals over the years. As I child, we had so many breeds of dogs. From Saint Bernard, Great Dane, and Bull Mastiff. To sheep dogs and small mixed breed dogs. We currently bace 1 cat, who is the chillest, sweetest cat I’ve ever known. We have 5 kids, who LOVE animals. Your sweet fur baby won’t even know you are gone, with all the love they would get at our house. I was laid off in 2024, so I am currently home with our toddler, while the big kids are at school. So your fur baby would have someone with them all day! We have a big fenced in yard, and a great neighborhood for walks! Your fur baby would be well loved in our care. I am currently home with our 1 year old daughter. My oldest are in school. We go to the gym a few times a week, and do some reselling on the side. But we are never gone for very long and can give your fur baby lots of love and attention. I have a fenced yard, with a 6 foot fence. So your fur baby will be safe! We have plenty of space to crate if needed. We also have a cat tree and lots of good hiding spots for more timid kitties.
“Erin takes great care of my dog Buddy, she sends me a lot of good pictures of my dog when she visits. In all the pictures she sends, you can just see in his face how much joy he has being around her and I think that’s a pretty good indicator of the quality pet sitter she is!”
“Virginia is always prompt and provides great comments and photos. I'm never worried about our dog when we're out of town, knowing she's in good hands with Virginia!”
“We came home from a nine day trip to our senior kitty happy and healthy. Thank you, Riley! She gave him his daily meds and made his food just the way he likes it. Pictures shows he got his required daily cuddles, too.”
“Dennis was absolutely amazing! Extremely attentive and Frank loved his grandchild! So grateful for his help! As a first time pup owner he made me feel at ease with his communication and pictures!”
“My first impression of Billie Jo was amazing due to good communication skills and eye contact. Plus she anticipated my need so I’d feel safe leaving the cats in her care. Billie Jo did an awesome job dropping in on time all 3 days to care for kitties. She also sent photos each day and took time to pet their bellies- they love a good belly rub?. I’d hire her again without any hesitation at all!”
About: I began pet sitting in college and fell in love with the experience. I have pet and house sat for about 5 years and am always happy to love on someone's beloved furry family members (only the kind with 4 legs, please ;). If you want someone to send lots of pictures and updates about your baby, then I’m your girl! I have additional experience in puppy training, home care, and multi-species households. I work from home, which allows me to place pet care as a priority in my schedule. This gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, play time, accident clean-up, and more. As I work from home, I am able to keep round the clock supervision of animals. I have a fenced in dog park that can allow for off-leash activities. I also have a very brave cat who enjoys meeting new people and pets.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life and it seemed the family dogs always gravitated toward me. I can’t imagine life without them! I’ve been caring for other’s dogs ever since I got my drivers license. The first dog I watched for a family (a beautiful Alaskan husky) had diabetes and required diabetic shots twice a day. Even though it hurt to have to give him shots, I loved having the opportunity to care for dogs other than my own. Since then I’ve had the opportunity of being the go-to dog watcher for several families with several different dog (and cat) breeds. I will make every effort to give your dog the same care that I was able to give Skyler and the rest of the dogs I’ve had the great fortune of watching and taking care of. There’s not many things that give me more joy than spending time with dogs. Now that I have more time on my hands in my 30’s I have recently gotten connected with volunteering with KC Pet Project. Dogs deserve all the love in the world. I currently work from home Monday and Friday so in addition to the weekend, it opens up availability to be present for the doggie. I’m in the office Tuesday - Thursday but available for morning/evening and quick bathroom breaks over lunch. I have a fenced in backyard and ample space inside the house to make your dog comfortable. I can crate if needed, but also have rooms that can function as “dog” rooms for the periods when I need to leave the house. I have my own Belgian Malinois, who mostly does her own thing. :)
“Sarah was incredible. She gave us lots of updates and even brought over her steam vac to clean the carpet when one of the dogs had an accident. She also brushed the dogs without our asking which was going above and beyond. We never had any worries as we knew the pups were in great hands. Highly recommend for any dog sitting duties.”
“We had an amazing experience with Laura this weekend! She took wonderful care of our dog, Greta, and made sure she was happy and loved while we were away. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about Greta’s well-being. We’re so grateful for her help and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Oakwood Park
I wish I could give ten stars. Brittany went above and beyond to support and care for my senior cat with a fractured pelvis while I had to be out of town. Poor kitty can barely use her hind end and Brittany safely administered her medications, cleaned her extensive toileting mistakes, and coaxed her out of a tight spot when kitty managed to wiggle under the bed. It was really difficult to leave Kitty behind when she was so vulnerable, but Brittany kept her safe the whole time, including staying a little later and providing some supplies I hadn’t thought of when things got a little sticky with her health. I’m beyond grateful for the way she showed up for my kitties. Communicative, on time, and compassionate.
It took Sebastian barely a moment to get comfortable with Samantha! From the meet and greet, immediately demonstrated confidence and competence in knowing how to approach and interact with him, and watching him warm up to her more and more with each visit reaffirmed that I made the right choice as a first-timer to Rover! I will be requesting her services again without a doubt.
Everything went great! Erica was super with our cats. Everyone seemed healthy and happy when we got home. Eric was able to adjust easily to our slight adjustments in schedule and was available for late evening meds for my old lady cat. I really enjoyed getting to see pics of the cats during the visits.
Misti is the BEST sitter I we’ve ever had. Our pets love her! We were gone for two weeks and she took great care of them. Attentive to their needs, took them on long walks, and even updated us on some eating habit changes. Our little void wasn’t eating as much as he usually does, she immediately let us know and we figured it out together. She is a GEM!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,250 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Oakwood Park. 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 Park. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
