About: I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs since I was a kid. I also have been fostering cats and dogs for the past decade. I’ve taken care of animals with disabilities, seniors, and puppies / kittens :) I’m a photographer so my schedule is pretty free. Most days I am at home working on the computer, which makes it easy to spend time with your pups :) I’m a very loving pet sitter. I know basic training and will take them on really fun walks. They will also get all the cuddles!
About: Dog lover with loads of experience and would love to meet your furry family members and treat them like royalty while you're away! I have a lot of energy and love to provide. I've lived in a house of pets all my life, and am a huge animal lover, and have been pet sitting since I was a little kid. My schedule is really open and flexible because I work from home, so I have a ton of availability to come to your place or host your pet at mine. I live in a house with animal lovers with a fully enclosed outdoor space, in a great calm residential area close to Lincoln Park in the Lincoln Heights neighborhood. Why I love dog sitting I have always been a dog lover since watching Benji over and over again as a child. I grew up with many pets and dogs and started watching them for friends and neighborhoods as a kid. My experience administering medication It depends on the format, most pets can be very finicky about this, but if it were a case that it was mixed in food, I wouldn't mind. I’m currently working part time, so maximum time away would be less than a few hours. I’m home most days and evenings, and love to take pups on outings! I have a fully enclosed yard and no pets of my own so your dog can have the run of the place! They are welcome on couches!

“Ashley was incredible with our little Wallace. She was super communicative and sent sweet little videos of our boy every day. On top of excellent dog-sitting care, Ashley went above and beyond our expectations and tidied up our house so we could come back to a clean home after being away for so long. We already have rebooked Ashley for our next trip, and we are so grateful we found her!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for cats, dogs, and horses. I work on a ranch, have had dogs, and currently have a cat of my own. As a nursing student, I’m dependable, attentive, and detail-oriented. I’ll treat your cat like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I make pet care a priority in my routine and love spending quality time with the animals I care for. I know being away from their owner can be stressful, so I make an extra effort to help each cat feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat them like family, giving them plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and companionship so they feel as relaxed and at home as possible while their person is away. Your cat’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I carefully follow your instructions, keep their environment clean and secure, and pay close attention to their behavior and needs. I understand that some cats want lots of affection while others need time and space to feel comfortable. I never force interaction and let them build trust with me at their own pace. My goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible and make them feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away.

Previously I’ve dog sat and at the same time house sat while clients were out of town. I’m very cautious and trustworthy as well very vigilant of my surroundings.
“Madison watched Muffie at my house for one week. She was fantastic. My dog takes a while to warm Up to people and Muffie warmed up to her immediately.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ojala
Rae is the best! We hired her to watch our dog and house while we were away, and she took great care of both. She sent us texts and photos throughout her stay, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing everything was going well. We came home to a happy pup and a spotless house. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and can't wait to book her again!
Rachel was great! She was professional, compassionate, and clearly an expert in dealing with an excited puppy. We had not left our puppy before and she put us right at ease. They had a great time together! I do not hesitate to recommend Rachel, and we will definitely be contacting her when we have to be out of town again.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Ojala walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Ojala maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Ojala 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!

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 .
