“Hayley did a great job with our two Bulldogs. They can definitely be high-maintenance, but she handled them very well. Overall, it was a great experience, and we were very happy with her care.”
“Susannah is our number one dog sitter. She is comfortable with big dogs and is experienced administering trazodone when necessary. Susannah took our dogs' many quirks in stride. Yes, we would definitely recommend her for future dog sitting. The best.”
“Camille was great! She was super communicative, was willing to come earlier in the day to start to visit the dogs when our plans changed, and sent tons of photos while we were away. We came home to happy dogs 😊 We hope she is available for our next trip because we’d love to book with her again!”
“Chelsea is a wonderful house and dog sitter! She was friendly and instantly connected with our two dogs during the meet and greet. While watching our dogs for 2 nights, Chelsea sent updates with pictures and it was obvious how much fun our fur babies were having with her! She administered medicine at meal times and followed through with feeding instructions. She went above and beyond starting the dishwasher and sheets/towels in the washing machine before she left. Chelsea is thoughtful, communicative and great with dogs! We'd absolutely leave our pups and home in her care again.”
“Hannah was a fabulous sitter. She stayed overnight with our girl. Hannah was very communicative and let us know what was going on with our girl. She left us a sweet card and a toy for Kat. We will definitely be using her again”
About: I have taken care of friends and families dogs for several years and I have a black lab! I just started graduate school at Wake Forest and would love the chance to get away from class and studying to go on walks in this beautiful area with some doggos!! I’m currently a graduate student at Wake Forest, so I would only be available in the evening during the week but available all day during weekends! I have a fenced in yard at my apartment, so I can easily crate the dog if need be. I love going on walks and being active.
“Cameron was an absolute delight! She took wonderful care of my boys and gave great updates! The house was tidy upon my return. She really went the extra mile. I highly recommend Cameron and will definitely be using her again.”
About: Been around dogs since I was little and offically took care of them when I was 8. Animals all around have been welcomed into my life whether they have four legs or not. Currently I am not working so it gives me more time to take care and play with your furry friends! I am available almost all hours of the day and can be contacted at anytime if in need of anything! I can easily bathe, clean, feed, brush, refill water for cats along with taking the time to play with them to ensure their daily enrichment for the day. For dogs I can easily help by simply brush, feeding, playing, being put into their crates, or even walking when needed to get their exercise and let them use the bathroom.
“Kristin was awesome. She kept me up to date on the fur family and sent pictures and videos while we were gone. I will definitely use her again. All of the animals seemed to love her.”
“Jurney did a great job keeping my fur babies during my weekend away. She always kept me informed, always pleasant, and just all around great to work with. My fur babies seem to love her as well and appeared well taken care of.”
“Haley was an absolute lifesaver for us!! We were visiting Greensboro for a concert and found ourselves searching at the last minute for someone we could trust with our babies. She responded right away, & even showed up early to get to know Willow and Cricket, before we left. Calm, kind, and instantly tuned into their personalities. She clocked Cricket's love of booty scratches and Willow's princess 👸 energy without much direction. She checked in while we were out, which gave us such peace of mind. Honestly, the worst part about going back to Florida, is we wish we could bring her back with us!! If we lived nearby, she'd be our go-to without question. Thank you, Haley, for turning a stressful situation, into such a relief!! What a Godsend 💛💛”
“Brittany was a great sitter while we were away for a few days! Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a reliable and communicative sitter. We felt comfortable leaving our dog and home in her care. Thank you Brittany!”
“Brianna was amazing!! Very thorough and asked a lot of good questions in order to get to know our dogs and their routines. Very responsive and communicative throughout the day which we appreciate! I highly recommend and will be using Brianna in the future ☺️”
About: With a lifelong history of caring for dogs. My experience spans from neighborhood pet sitting to providing a loving home for my own dogs, including a beagle, a pitbull, and a pug. When I lived in a trailer home neighborhood, I became the go-to person for neighbors who needed someone reliable to care for their dogs. I love pets ! 🩷me and your fur babies will become besties!🤞🏽😉 I’m currently doing reselling so im never to busy for my fur babies. Always anytime available for house sitting,drop in visits ,dog walking,I always give my full attention to them. I will provide constant supervision. Prioritize to a calm safely playful setting. I follow all owner instructions regarding dietary restrictions or medications, and I’ll always be prepared to provide updates or handle emergencies promptly.
“Kathryn was very attentive to our dogs, keeping a similar schedule for them everyday and engaging with them regularly during her stay. Her communication with us was as good as it gets! We will definitely book with her in the future. 10/10.”
“If I could give Marci 10 stars I would! She went above and beyond when we were traveling OUT during the ice storm and returned during the snow storm. She braved the horrible weather and took excellent care of our dog and cat. With going through such a stressful time figuring out flight cancelations and delays it was such a relief that she made sure we knew our dog and cat were happy and safe and cared for. It made all the difference in the world, her thoughtfulness and kindness has gone above and beyond what was expected. She checked in regularly with pictures and we were able to enjoy our time away without one worry about our pets. We will continue to book with her! The. BEST. Dog sitter.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Oak Crest
Brooke was really great with our two girls! She was quick to respond and communicative, and went above and beyond even taking them for walks! They both seemed happy and well cared for when we returned from our 5-night vacation. It’s always hard to leave them but I would definitely feel good about having Brooke watch them again.
Chelsea was a wonderful house sitter. She took excellent care of Oreo and my home. She sent regular updates and was willing to help with weekly trash pickup when I forgot to put my cans out before leaving. I will absolutely be checking with Chelsea first next time I need a sitter for my sweet senior girl!
We had a great experience with Noelle! She was communicative, reliable, and kept us updated, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. The dogs were happy and well cared for when we got home. We'd definitely book with her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter. 🐶✨
Bryan did a great job staying at our home and watching our high energy lab and also our cat, while keeping them safely separated for the week. He was communicative at all times, took good care of the house and the plants, and the pets seemed happy and well upon our return. We would gladly use his services again.
Sam was truly amazing with our lively dog Jack and my cat Ozzie!. She kept them safe and fed, and played with them daily…she shared photos of the pets having a great time! The house was left immaculate, and she was always very communicative and on top of all the details, asking for clarification when needed with regard to feeding times and medications. I felt very comfortable trusting her with our pets and our home, and would definitely have her back again.
Repeat Rover-user here! Cassidy went above and beyond while watching our pets. Her communication was amazing. She sent consistent updates, photos, and checked in anytime something needed clarification. We have a Rottweiler and a Chihuahua as well as two cats. Our Chihuahua is a little shy and takes time to warm up, and she handled that with the utmost patience and calm energy until she was able to get comfortable and warm up which she did! She handled walks, feedings, cleaning up accidents, and even helped take care of our cats and fish without being asked. She was respectful of our home and literally treated our animals like her own. We felt completely at ease while we were away because of the level of care and attention she gave. 5/5 and 10/10 would absolutely book with her 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 Oak Crest 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 Crest 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 Oak Crest 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
