“Barbara is currently sitting for my dogs, I am still out of town. I will leave another review once I am home. I am trying to figure out how to leave a tip, because she goes way above and beyond. For all of the work and help she is doing for my dogs while I am gone is incredible, so I just want to throw her a tip because she more than deserves it.”

About: I’ve spent more than 20 years caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m comfortable caring for senior and special-needs pets, administering oral and injected medications, and keeping up with high-energy dogs who need plenty of exercise and play. I follow each pet’s normal routine closely and treat them like I would my own, with lots of attention, affection, and regular photo updates while you’re away. I currently work part time in customer service, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet sitting. I’m happy to spend time playing, giving affection, keeping pets company, maintaining their normal routines, and making sure they receive plenty of attention while their family is away. For me, pet sitting is much more than simply stopping by to feed an animal. I genuinely enjoy building a relationship with the pets I care for and making sure they feel happy, loved, and comfortable until their family comes home. I’ve always had a special connection with animals and truly enjoy being around them. I love getting to know each pet’s personality, routine, quirks, and favorite things so I can make their time with me feel as comfortable and familiar as possible. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, including seniors. My own Chihuahua lived to be 22 years old, so I understand firsthand how much patience, consistency, and extra attention older animals can need. That experience gave me an even deeper appreciation for the responsibility that comes with caring for someone’s pet. I’m also very mindful of safety and cleanliness in both my everyday life and in clients’ homes. I carefully follow care instructions, keep an eye on changes in behavior or needs, and make sure pets are comfortable and their environment is clean and secure.

About: I have been pet sitting since I was young. From dogs and cats to rodents and reptiles, neighbors, friends and family members have trusted me to care for their pets. I plan my schedule to ensure every pet receives the attention, care, and consistency they deserve. I’m available for morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits, and I’m committed to providing feeding, fresh water, playtime, medication if needed, and regular updates to owners. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routine as closely as possible to help their pets feel comfortable and secure. I respect my clients’ homes, keep everything clean and tidy, and provide regular photo and message updates so they can have peace of mind while they’re away.

About: I have loved animals my entire life and feel that I connect very well with animals. I have a cat myself but love cats and dogs equally! Very prompt responses and convenient booking! I have taken care of many animals for others including elderly dogs that require more attention and effort. I am currently only working part-time and have plenty of availability to look after your companion. I have a very flexible schedule and can make just about any routine work at the moment. I always take special care to be extremely respectful of others’ homes and to always be conscious of my surroundings. My motto is to leave no trace and to leave all things unrelated to pet care untouched.

“Callies the greatest! Our pets are always less frenzied to see us after she cares for them - it's like we've barely been gone. There's none of the clinging we've had before with other sitters. It makes me so much less stressed about leaving them”

About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoy making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m a veterinary assistant graduate and gained hands-on experience during my internship at an animal shelter, caring for both dogs and cats. I’m patient, gentle, dependable, and comfortable working with different personalities and energy levels. I understand that every pet has their own routine and needs, and I’m happy to give them plenty of attention, exercise, and love while their family is away. I have an open and flexible schedule, so I’m able to work around your pet’s routine and needs. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always important to me. I’m gentle, attentive, and respectful of your home, and I follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for a few years, mostly for close friends and family. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or just keeping them company while their family is away, I’ve always treated pets as my own. I often help with housesitting and babysitting as well, so I’ve learned to also juggle multiple responsibilities. I’m back home for the summer from college, so my schedule is open! Aside from family responsibilities, I can be pretty flexible with dates or times! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always do my best to keep their routines as normal and comfortable as possible. I’m not afraid to ask clarifying questions about your pets to ensure I am giving them the best care. :)

About: I have 4 years of experience volunteering at a local animal shelter where I would take care and the puppies. As well as giving the adult and bigger dogs outside socialization time in the play yard. I’ve also watched and walked dogs for multiple friends and neighbors. I do work full time so on weekdays I would be available evenings only (after 5pm). But my weekends are fully open to care for your fur babies. Safety is extremely important to me. With my time volunteering at an animal shelter I learned the proper way to walk dogs not familiar with me and how to spot different animal behaviors. (Stress, timid, angry). I do like to set a meet and greet time to get to know your pet and their routines and any special needs they may have. I want to make sure your pet is comfortable with me. I am also more than happy to provide photo updates of any drop ins or cute moments during walks.

About: Welcome to my profile! Growing up in a lively household filled with both dogs and a variety of other animals, I developed a profound love and understanding of animal behavior from a young age. With over five years of professional dog-sitting experience, I've cared for breeds of all sizes and temperaments, ensuring each pup receives the attention and affection they deserve. My unique upbringing has equipped me with the skills to manage not just dogs, but also other pets, making me a versatile caregiver who can provide a safe and nurturing environment for your furry family member. Whether it's long walks, playtime, or simply cuddling up on the couch, I am dedicated to making your dog's experience enjoyable and enriching. Your pet's well-being is my top priority, and I can't wait to meet them! I'm currently working from home, and occasionally watching other dogs, but my availability is COMPLETELY OPEN, and am happy to help out whenever needed! This includes daytime, nighttime, weekends, holidays, multiple-days, you name it! I have a pretty decent sized apartment, that's CLEANED & SANITIZED DAILY, has AC/HEAT, non-smoking, and always has some toys, blankets, and sanitized food/water bowls ready, just in case the owner doesn't bring them. I also take the pets outside quite frequently, as much as possible honeslty! Also, not just to potty, but to explore the neighborhood, RUN for extended periods of time, and to constantly practice/improve use of commands, and healthy interactions with other people/pets/stimulation we may encounter along the way!

About: Hi, I’m Alec. I’ve been around dogs and cats for over 20 years, and what sets me apart is my drive and hunger to provide the best care possible. I don’t just “watch” pets—I stay engaged, attentive, and focused on their comfort and safety. I take pride in being dependable, consistent, and going the extra step so your pets are well cared for every time. My schedule as a 1099 contractor is very flexible, and outside of work my routine is mostly going to the gym, spending time with family, and occasionally taking vacations. Because of that flexibility, pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle—I can easily adjust my time and prioritize pet sitting when needed. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I will care for pets in a calm, safe, and attentive environment, whether in my home or the client’s home. I make sure their basic needs are always met, including feeding on schedule, providing fresh water, regular potty breaks, and daily exercise like walks and playtime. In my home, I keep the space clean, quiet, and pet-friendly so animals feel comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I follow their routine closely so the pet feels secure in a familiar environment and experiences as little disruption as possible.

About: Caring for dogs has been a passion of mine since I was a little girl. My love for animals began with my first two dogs — a German Shepherd and a Retriever mix — who taught me the joy and responsibility that come with caring for pets. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets as if they were my own. Whether it’s keeping them active, giving them attention, or making sure they feel safe and happy, I take pride in providing dependable and affectionate care. I truly believe every dog deserves to be treated like family — and that’s exactly how I care for them. I work from home so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for boarding, walks, and drop-in visits on weekends and weekdays. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. My dog is small and gentle with others as well.

About: I focus on giving each dog consistent attention, patience, and a calm environment so they feel safe and comfortable. I follow care instructions exactly, keep routines consistent, and communicate clearly with daily updates and photos. I’m especially attentive to each dog’s behavior and energy level, making sure they get the right balance of play, rest, and care while you’re away. Pet care fits into my routine in a very consistent and flexible way. I naturally build my schedule around reliability and attention to detail, so I’m used to checking in on responsibilities throughout the day rather than letting things pile up. On a daily basis, I can dedicate time in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings for walks, feeding, playtime, and any needed check-ins on weekends. Evenings during the week. I’m good at adjusting my schedule to match the pet’s routine, whether that means early morning walks or evening drop-ins. On a weekly level, I plan ahead so I can make sure I’m available for longer care periods like overnights or multiple visits per day. I’m also comfortable being consistent with routines like medication schedules, exercise, and keeping the pet’s environment clean and safe. Overall, I treat pet care like a real responsibility, not something I “fit in” when convenient I structure my time around it to make sure the pet stays comfortable and cared for. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping the pet’s routine as normal and stress free as possible. I follow the instructions exactly as provided feeding schedule, portion sizes, walk times, medication (if any), and any specific behavior or care notes about the pet. For daily care, I make sure the pet gets attention, exercise, and interaction, not just basic needs. That can include walks, playtime, accidents if needed, refreshing water, and making sure the home is kept tidy and secure while I’m there. I’m also careful about safety double checking doors, gates, leashes, and making sure pets don’t get into anything they shouldn’t. I pay attention to how the pet is acting so I can notice any changes in mood, appetite, or behavior and communicate that right away if something seems off. I don’t just “stop by and do tasks” I treat it like I’m temporarily responsible for the pet’s wellbeing and comfort, and I make sure they feel calm and cared for while their owner is away.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Oil City

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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 .

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
