“Excellent stay! Jabrae went above and beyond, even taking our dog out for a bike ride to tire him out! We are absolutely thrilled with our stay and plan on using Jabrae for every vacation in the future. We could not recommend her enough.”
About: Hi! I'm Kernix — a military spouse, dog lover, and proud chocolate Lab mom to Josie! I know how important it is to find a safe, loving, and stress-free place for your pup while you're away. My goal is to provide a true "home away from home" experience with lots of attention, structure, and affection. I grew up around animals and have always loved caring for them. Growing up, we had pugs, chihuahuas, bunnies, and hamsters, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. We moved to South Carolina in October 2025 after previously being stationed in Washington. My husband is originally from Myrtle Beach, SC, and we've loved settling into the Summerville community and making it feel like home. 1 Family at a Time for Boarding: I only accept one client family at a time for overnight boarding, so your pup will receive personalized care without the stress of a crowded boarding environment. About Our Home & Routine: We live in a quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood with a fully fenced backyard where pups can safely play, sniff, and explore. Dogs enjoy regular potty breaks, supervised playtime, enrichment activities, belly rubs, and lots of companionship throughout the day. I also closely follow feeding routines and medication schedules when needed. Meet Josie: We also have our sweet chocolate Lab,Josie! She is extremely friendly and social and has done wonderfully with every person, dog, and cat she has met so far. Josie enjoys meeting friendly dogs and would love a playmate during your pup's stay. Meet & Greets & Communication: I highly encourage meet & greets before boarding, especially for first-time stays. I want both you and your pup to feel comfortable and confident before booking. Communication is very important to me, and I always do my best to stay flexible with drop-off and pick-up times whenever possible. Boarding & Doggy daycare: Doggy day care pickup is by 5 PM. If pickup is needed after 5 PM, please book boarding instead so I can properly accommodate your pup's evening and overnight care routine. Boarding Requirements: To help keep everyone safe and comfortable, I currently only accept: • Dogs that are reasonably potty trained • Friendly dogs that do well around people and other dogs • Dogs that are up to date on vaccinations and flea/tick prevention Because I provide care in my personal home, I may not be the best fit for dogs with severe separation anxiety, destructive behaviors, or frequent indoor accidents.
“Savannah has been awesome! She is so sweet and our dogs took right to her (our older dog is a bit grumpy sometimes). She’s always on time and is excellent at communicating. Very grateful!”
“Brandy is definitely a pet lover and took care of our loved ones while on vacation. She was always on time, took pictures, gave them lovins and made sure they had what was needed. She posted notes and kept an updated. Will definitely recommend and use her services in the future”
“Josh did a great job taking care of my pup! I’ve used him many times prior to Rover and have always had good experiences. He communicates well with me and makes sure to give my pup lots of love and attention. My pup adores Josh and Bethany.”
“Mary Kay was wonderful with my service dog Sunshine and his many “rules.” She was personable and kind, and he took to her instantly. I will definitely be having her back with Sunshine soon!”
“She did amazing with my bubba! He absolutely loved all the attention he received and I absolutely loved all the pictures I got on her visits with him! She is super communicative. She made sure my baby had food and water and plenty of time to potty and get out of our apartment! Will definitely use her services again when needed!”
“Sadie was awesome and took great care of my boys while I was away. Great communication and letting me know how they were doing. Would highly recommend and will definitely request her care again!”
“Dawn was great with my pups, even going on the hunt for one of them after my landscapers left the gate open and he got out. She made my trip stress-free, sending pics and taking great care of them.”
“Chelsea did a great job with our cats. Arrived home to a clean and tidy kitchen and litter boxes. She is a good communicator and we enjoyed the pictures she sent. We recommend her as a terrific sitter!”
“Jennifer was amazing, she went above and beyond. I had her look after my kitten for the week while I was on vacation, I had no problem leaving him in her hands. She would always send plenty of pictures and made sure he had plenty of play time. I would highly recommend Jennifer to anyone!”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was little. We've always had at least 1. I'm also a wildlife rehabber and have worked at a doggy day care before so I'm comfortable giving medicine or taking care of wounds if need be. I'm working part-time at the moment and would love to fill up my free time taking care of your animals. I'm available mostly middle of the week but can do in house check ins or dog walks in mornings and evenings on weekends. I have a fenced in back yard and 2 dogs for them to play with and run! I can also offer inside animal sitting with or without a crate. I'm also willing to travel to do in home check ins, feedings, walking, playing.
About: I have two dogs that LOVE other dogs , & I as well LOVE other dogs! We live 5 minutes away from the dog park , so we’re constantly taking the pups out to play and get some energy out ! I’m a stay at home mom , so I’m home 24/7 , so your fur babies will never be home alone , they’ll constantly be watched ! I’ll bathe if they get dirty under my supervision ! I’ve watched dogs since middle school , so I have plenty of experience! We’re also a 5 minute drive away from a vet Incase something happens (not saying something will, just for safety). We also LOVE hiking , so your babies would get a lot of exercise ! I have a huge backyard, which every dog seems to enjoy! I will watch up to 2-3dogs, as long as they’re good with the dogs I have over :) *PITBULLS*. Purebred pitbulls don’t like my husky, SO, if a meet and greet isn’t set up I can’t watch him/her. If we set up a meet and greet and they do great, that’s awesome, let’s book!; if not, I can’t watch your fur baby.
About: I've been around or watched dogs ever since I can remember. I've dog sat for everyone I know. Every dog is different so they all have to be taken care of differently. I have three of my own. Abbie is a chiweenie and the oldest at 14 years old. Flint is a chihuahua and 8 years old. Then Sadie is the “baby” even though she’s a blue heeler and the biggest at 4 years old. I love all dogs no matter the size or age and can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I am currently a stay at home mom and have tons of free time while the kids are in school. I would love to add in taking care of your furry friends into my daily routine. I will be with your dogs every step of the visit making sure they’re actually getting out in the yard to go to the bathroom or getting walked until they’ve done all of their business.

Alyssa is awesome and very thoughtful! We never worry about our kitties when they are in her care. She always keeps in close communication and asks questions when we forget to include something in our care instructions. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs care for their animals!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Wood Oak Park on Rover is $13.32 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of September 2026, there are 1,242 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Wood Oak 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.

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.
