“This was our first time using Rover. We had a fantastic experience with Kimberly. She was responsive and professional. She kept our place clean so we could come home from vacation to a clean house! She took great care of our dogs. So much better than how we used to do things where someone would just check on our dogs every day. They would always get into some sort of mischief and we would come home to a disaster. Thanks Kimberly!”
“Katrina took good care of Mia. She walked her and made sure her needs were meant. She was in constant communication with us on vacation. The house was clean when we came home. I will not hesitate to use Katrina again. She was fantastic 👏”
“Kyle was very personable and awesome with both our boys. They got tons of playtime, pets and treats. Kyle even went above and beyond by helping to extend his time due to my family emergency. Very laid back and pleasant to interact with. He even went above and beyond by sending almost daily photo updates and even fun photo edits of our boy's adventures. Hopefully, our fur-ever sitter!”
“Liz did a great job watching our dogs and house while we were out of town for a week. We loved the daily updates and appreciated her flexibility when our flight home got delayed. We look forward to using her services again in the future.”
About: I’ve helped care for nine family dogs growing up, handling feeding, walking, bathing, and playtime. Experienced with different sizes, temperaments, and maintaining consistent routines daily. I work full time but have flexible hours. Typically 9–5, can adjust to 7–3 if needed. Weekends off and available for consistent, reliable pet care. I provide a safe, clean environment, follow routines closely, ensure pets feel comfortable, supervise interactions, secure spaces, and give consistent attention, care, and communication daily.
About: I’ve been surrounded by pets my entire life, and my love for them has only grown stronger into adulthood. I’m passionate about learning and understanding all kinds of animals, and I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science. My experience in pet care comes not only from caring for my own pets over the years, but also from helping family and friends with their beloved fur babies. My husband and I share our home with our sweet Rottweiler, Baltazar, who’s 8 years old and full of love, and our independent, grumpy cat, Midnight, who keeps us entertained in his own way. I’m also a stay-at-home mom to two boys, ages 4 and 8 months, who are already growing up with a love for animals. We treat every pet like part of our family, and we would love to care for yours with the same dedication and affection. I’m a full-time homemaker with a very flexible schedule, which means plenty of time to care for your furry friend. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime in our safe, fenced yard, or simply snuggles indoors, your pup will get all the attention they deserve. I’m also comfortable administering medications if needed, so you can rest easy knowing they’re in good hands. I have a secure, fenced yard with plenty of space for your pet to roam safely. Our 8 year old Rottweiler, Baltazar, is very friendly with other dogs, but your pet’s comfort always comes first. If you prefer, I can crate your dog or keep Baltazar in a separate area to ensure a peaceful and stress free visit.
“Kimmy kept my pets routines which helped them adjust to me being away. She clearly loves animals and knows how to help them adjust to a sitter. She reassured me all was well by sending sweet pictures of the pets and letting me know what they were up to. I’ll definitely rebook with her in the future.”
About: I'VE HAD MY OWN DOGS AND CATS FOR OVER 30 YRS. I'VE BEEN DOG SITTING FOR OTHERS FOR ABOUT 11 YRS. I RECENTLY LOST MY 12 YR OLD MALTIPOM SO I CURRENTLY HAVE NO PETS OF MY OWN, GIVING ME PLENTY OF TIME TO CARE FOR OTHERS. I am retired and live in Broken Arrow with my adult daughter to help with my 9 yr old granddaughter. I no longer have any pets of my own so pet sitting is a nice way to spend time with dogs and cats. I like to have written instructions on feeding, meds, and bedtime routine. I like to do all I can to maintain their daily schedule. I will send lots of photos/videos!
About: I’ve trained 3 dogs to be pet pals. I have had and cared for dogs my whole life. I have cared for puppies to senior dogs and have experience administering medication to elderly dogs. I am currently in college so I have plenty of time to care for pets! I am available to house sit or walk dogs as needed! I am able to crate dogs if needed and have experience dealing with multiple dogs. I also have experience with food aggression and other special needs.
“Dezire was great with our girls! She made sure to keep us updated on what their day was like and went above and beyond helping us with things around the house! The girls had daily long walks. She also was able to help us with a last minute add on day.”
“Addie was exceptional in every way. She asked questions, followed my instructions and constantly kept me updated on Bella. I would highly recommend her and will definitely use her again!”
“Kelly was great. She was flexible and communicative. When we got back home, we could tell that Sam felt cared for and attended to in our absence which is always a relief after being away, even for a short time.”
“I reached out to Francine on Rover and she was quick to respond with her availability. She made the effort to meet my dog before we left for vacation when i told her that hes a rescue and takes sometime to open up. She was punctual, communicative and had a lot of patience with my dog. Finally on day 3, he opened up to her! She kept the house neat and clean as well. Thank you Francine for taking care of my dog. I appreciate your time and patience with him. Will definitely be rebooking! Don’t hesitate to leave your pets in her care!”
About: One thing that sets me apart from other pet sitters is that I currently work at a veterinary hospital. Caring for dogs and cats is a daily task I have and I enjoy it more and more each day. From playing with the cats and dogs to prepping their food or medications to one on one time, I always look forward to being able to help out with a clients furry friend. I am currently working as a Kennel Technician and veterinary assistant at a veterinary hospital. I work 7-6 on Wednesdays and Fridays. I do have days where I am off back to back and am more than happy to tend to your furry friend. On the days I work I would be more than happy to come by after a day of work! I am on call for vet assistant every 3rd weekend but am free most weekends. I do live in the country and have plenty of room for your pups to roam while they stay and/or leash walk for those who tend to wander off. All dogs will be let out to potty and their leisure and won’t have to worry about being locked up or not being taken out. As for your cat babies they are welcome to roam free with my 2 cats. We have TONS of windows in our home that the cats love to bird watch in, but also plenty of room inside to get away when they feel the need. Both cats and dogs will have access to water and will be fed per owners instructions.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Fair Oaks is $40
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fair Oaks
I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! She took incredible care of both of my dogs—no small task considering my puppy is an absolute tyrant right now and my older dog needs constant protection from his nonstop antics. She handled it all with so much patience, care, and kindness. She was an amazing communicator throughout the entire stay, keeping me updated and sending tons of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. You can truly tell she has such a warm, loving energy and genuinely cares about the animals she watches. I came home to two happy, well-cared-for dogs, and I’m so grateful. I would 100% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, attentive, and just all-around wonderful.

FAQs for House Sitting - Fair Oaks
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fair Oaks on Rover is $48.15 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 443 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fair Oaks. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Fair Oaks 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 Fair Oaks 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.
Tip: 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 Fair Oaks 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

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.
