“Allison and Regan took great care of our pups, we were thankful for all the loving they gave our fur babies and all the awesome pictures. We will definitely use them again in the future. :)”
“Outstanding service. My crew was in great hands and she even got my mail for me!!! Sent me pictures and updates and I felt at ease the whole trip. Highly recommend! A+++++”
“Hensley did a wonderful job caring for our two heeler mixes for the weekend. Our younger dog can be very skittish around new people, but Hensley took it all in stride and was able to gain her confidence and even take her for walks. Great communication and photos of the dogs throughout her stay, we highly recommend her as a sitter!”

“Tori did an amazing job caring for my animals. She sent me tons of pictures w/ updates and spent lots of quality time with my little zoo. I am truly impressed. I would absolutely recommend Tori to anyone needing a pet sitter!”
“Sarah’s drop-in services were great! I came home to a happy and healthy pup after being gone for 7 days. Sarah met my dog, Halen, and I before the booking time. She sent me pictures of Halen and even texted me “Does Halen know how to run?” It is not easy to ask anyone to RUN with your dog, so this was a pleasant surprise. Sarah was great! I would totally suggest using her services.”
“We were very happy with Kyndall. Huckleberry seemed to like her at first meeting. She took good care of Huckleberry and our house for four days and was quick to respond to texts. We hope to have her take care of him again.”
About: I have furry friends of my own and have been trusted to care for other furry babies of all ages. I love spending time with pets, whether it’s playing, going for walks, cuddling, or simply keeping them company. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I strive to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. My goal is to help every pet have a happy and enjoyable day. I work full-time during the week, but I’m available for pet care in the evenings, on weekends, and whenever my schedule allows. I will always communicate clearly about my availability and do my best to accommodate your furry baby’s needs. I have experience giving pets medication, as two of my own cats previously needed daily medicine. This taught me patience, consistency, and the importance of attentive care. I also know that many pets thrive on love, attention, cuddles, and playtime. I enjoy making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their families are away, and I treat every furry baby like one of my own.
About: I've had all types of pets growing up. Have even bottle-fed multiple litters of stray kittens! I'm very responsible and reliable, especially when it comes to taking care of someone’s animals! My schedule is typically pretty open! I part-time bartend so on my off days, I am available all day long! And on the days I go into work (depending on which shift I’m working), usually half of my day is wide open, as well! I am able to travel to your home and check on and/or walk/exercise your pet. I am also capable of house-sitting, if needed! We can discuss more specialized services you may be needing for your pet, as well (senior, special needs, etc).

About: I’ve had taken care of pets ever since I was 14. I love all type of animals and have so much fun with them. I overall make sure the animals are comfortable and safe while in my care. I currently work a part time job. I’m mainly available during the weekends and mornings or late nights. I am a very flexible person and very understanding when it comes tho scheduling.

About: Veterinary student experienced with puppies, seniors, diabetic pets, medication administration, and reactive animals. Providing compassionate, knowledgeable care, belly rubs, and peace of mind. 🐾 ❤️ As a veterinary student on summer break and a PRN veterinary assistant, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. 🐾❤️ I provide personalized care with walks, playtime, feeding, medication administration, litter box or potty breaks, enrichment, cuddles, and close monitoring for comfort and safety. ❤️
About: I grew up training puppy’s and always having a dog/cat in the home. I am a loving dog sitter and will give your dog the care they need! I am an early riser and love to go on walks so your furry friend will get great exercise!! I like schedules and routines, and my house is always very clean! I do not have any animas so there is no issue worrying if they will get along! I live in an apartment right next to a park!
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life — all 24 years of it. From the moment I was old enough to pick up a food bowl, I was right there helping to care for them. That means over two decades of feeding, walking, playing, and loving dogs of all shapes and sizes. For me, caring for dogs isn’t just a job — it’s second nature. During the day I work, but I have the flexibility to step away and check in on any pets in my care. Evenings are generally when I’m most available, so your pet will have plenty of attention and company after hours. I treat every pet in my care like they’re my own family dog. Your pet won’t just be looked after — they’ll be loved, spoiled, and made to feel right at home.
“Arianna was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly communicative from start to finish, friendly, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. She was amazing with our dog and even brought him treats, which was such a thoughtful touch. She sent us lots of pictures and updates, and it was obvious he was happy and well cared for. On top of that, she even did a little light housekeeping, which was completely unexpected and absolutely not necessary, but so appreciated. It was such a kind gesture. We came home to a happy pup and a tidy house, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely book Arianna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter!”
“I absolutely loved Emily for the i day I had her, unexpectedly I had a son come home from out of town working who had got into a disagreement with his girlfriend and had been drinking who just came by not knowing I was out of town to stay the evening and she understandably didn’t feel comfortable completing the contract and couldn’t iboard Lucy bc she has cats. Piecing together alternate drop ins for the remaining 3 days did not even compare to her and was very disappointed to not complete the contract as she was very efficient, kind, easy to work with sent pictures communicated exceptionally well and knew I had nothing to worry about and felt complete at peace and assured my dog was in the greatest of hands. In light of the unexpected situation she thankfully didn’t terminate me on Rover and effect my account standing and was understanding of the unexpected circumstances and understandably not feeling comfortable staying overnight. I’m new to Rover and she was my first experience and will say inspite of the early termination and lost payment the experience I did have with Emily made it a great. I would recommend if new to Rover setting up contingency plans and or making sure if situations arise unexpected drop in services are ok as alternative to in house so you don’t have to double pay for sitters. In light of it all Emily was very understanding communicated well and bc of how impressed I was with the communication and the 1 day of sitter care I bought her a gift back from my vacation as a thank you for the pictures and constant reassurance Lucy was in good hands. I had to meet up with her to give her some things that she left at the house and was gracious and understanding of the unexpected circumstance and apologized for not completing the contract and feeling comfortable with boarding staying or changing to drop in. Thankfully my sister and friend were able to come by once a day and it eased the extreme stress of not having a sitter and not even anticipating making back up plans but as I stated was a learning curve with utilizing the Rover app. I would use Rover again but just make sure to discuss contingency plans and flexibility in case of unexpected circumstances.. I would also recommend Emily highly she was a great sitter but just make sure to discuss contingency plans for unexpected events or have a back up plan.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Oak Bowery
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 227 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Oak Bowery. 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 Oak Bowery 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 Oak Bowery 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 Oak Bowery 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.
