“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.”
“Amy provided excellent care for our dog while staying in our home. She arrived promptly, maintained excellent communication, and treated our dog as if she were her own. We hope to book with her again the next time we need.”
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.
About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats—whether they’re my own, a neighbor’s, or a friend’s. I’ve helped train energetic puppies, given oral medications, and have experience caring for my senior dog, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and lots of love. I recently graduated from Northeastern University with a degree in biology and just moved back home to North Carolina. I love spending time outdoors and going on long walks, and I'm happy to tailor my care to match your pet's energy level and needs. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, gentle approach, and deep understanding of animals at all life stages. You can trust that your pet will be treated with the same love and respect I give my own. I look forward to meeting your pet and providing care you can count on! As a student at Northeastern University, I have a flexible class schedule that allows me to make time for pet care throughout the week. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to work around your pet’s routine—especially during afternoons, evenings, and weekends when I tend to have the most availability. I’ll always make sure your pet gets the attention and care they need, and I’m happy to discuss a schedule that works for both of us. When caring for pets in your home, I always treat the space with respect and make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved. I follow all instructions carefully—whether that includes giving medications, sticking to a specific feeding schedule, or maintaining routines that help your pet feel at ease. I’m happy to play, walk, or just keep them company depending on their needs and personality. My goal is always to make your pet feel relaxed and cared for while you’re away.
“Rocio has been so amazing! Rocio was absolutely incredible with my dogs! She kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. I would definitely book with Rocio again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
“Aubrey was fantastic! She was very communicative, sent lots of photos, and overall just made me feel really comfortable with leaving my two boys with her. Highly recommend.”
About: I am desiring to be of service to your dog when you are out of town or care for your dog when you are unavailable to take him/her out due to busy conflicting schedules. I know how stressful it can be, when you know that your sweet dog is home alone and you are unable to be there to take care of their needs. I am a medical professional and I know first aid and life support for dogs. If you are looking for someone that is trusty worthy in the Winston Salem, Clemmons, Advance, Kernersville. Lewisville, West bend,East bend, Accadia, Tobaccoville, and Advance area. Please let me know, would love to be help to you with your needs. I am very dependable and caring for dogs.
About: Welcome to my tranquil home. Here, your dog will receive the utmost care and attention in a loving and peaceful environment. I only accept one dog or two small dogs from the same family for boarding, which allows me to provide dedicated and specialized care in my home for each furry guest. I work from home so you can be assured someone is with your dog during their entire stay. I make it a point to maximize my time with your pet, and only leave if I need to run errands or have an appointment, which is rarely more than a couple of hours. Also, since I only keep pets from the same family you will never need to worry about other dogs. When we do a meet and greet what you see is what you get. You will meet me and Walter, my super laid back Chihuahua Italian Greyhound mix. And we offer up the Humble Abode (our home) which is a great respite for anxious and senior dogs due to the calm and peaceful environment. I’ve had pets my entire life and have been offering pet care services for more than a decade. Walter has happily helped me welcome many dogs over the 7 years he’s been around. IN HOME STAYS If you have a larger pack or prefer in-home care and/or drop in visits I also offer that. I do bring my dog with me so that would have to be allowed. I also offer cleaning, organizing and plant watering services as add-ins with in-home stays. Dog walking services are also offered for those long workdays and for your young and active pups. Please reach out with any questions and we hope to meet you soon! I work from home and set my own schedule so I can accommodate most situations if given advance notice. We try to go for 1/2 mile walk each day, longer leisurely walks or hikes on the weekends and visit local parks and nature if everyone is up for it. We also can hang out on the enclosed patio which is the perfect spot to sun bathe when the weather is nice. I try my best to accommodate any schedules your dog has. I live a pretty laid back lifestyle. With just me and my pup, Walter, home life is pretty peaceful. For this reason I only take one dog at a time, unless it’s two small dogs from the same family.
“Brittany was so kind with Prince; he was his normal self when I arrived home which means he didn’t miss a beat when it came to eating, walking, playing, etc. she sent pictures and went out of her way to make sure everything went great; whenever our schedules align I’ll definitely choose her to stay with my little sleepy guy!”

“Morgan was absolutely wonderful! I have a special-needs dog with rear paralysis, so leaving him in someone else’s care can be stressful. Morgan did an exceptional job caring for him and my cat and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Her communication was fantastic. She kept me updated, sent pictures, and made sure I knew how my pets were doing throughout my time away. It was such a relief to be able to truly relax and enjoy some time away without worrying about them. I’m so grateful for the patience, compassion, and attention Morgan gave both of my pets. It was a fantastic experience from beginning to end, and I would highly recommend Morgan to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and trustworthy pet sitter. I will definitely book with her again!”
“Anne was exactly the person for my house/cat sitting job. She went out of her way to meet my changing plans and I will definitely use her specifically in the future. A lovely lady and I had no concerns while I was gone.”
“We have now used Hailey repeatedly, and have absolutely loved having her house sit for our boys. Her communication is outstanding, photo updates multiple times daily, and our house is always clean when we return. She loves on our pups like they are her own, and we appreciate her so much!”
About: I’m new to this but I am trustworthy and more than willing to learn! I’ve had dogs and cats growing up, so do not fret! I am free on fridays after 5pm, Saturday ant any time and Sundays 6am-1pm or 4pm-9pm. I can not do Monday-Thursday. I would love to help you in any way with your precious babies and keep your mind at ease. I do live in an apartment with my own cat and my daughter. Our apartments have a fenced in dog area but I would take them on walks on a trail so they would get real exercise, or around your neighborhood! If you needed a pet sitter I would treat your home like it was made out of porcelain. I love animals, they bring a huge sense of love and friendship and that’s what I want to give back to them.

Mya was great with our pup! I have a very energetic and rowdy Aussie, and she did a great job playing with him and watching him for the weekend while I was gone. She was great about updating me, sending me pictures, and letting me know how everything was going! Thank you Mya!
Chelsea stayed at my place with my two doodles for 4 nights. This is the longest I have been away from my babies with a “stranger” taking care of them. Chelsea was amazing. She put me at ease and gave my babies lots of cuddles and attention. She sent photos while I was away and left the house is perfect condition. So very very thankful for her 🙏🏻🫶🏻
Truly could not have had a better experience. I have a very difficult time trusting my animals with people, but after our first interview i knew they would be in good hands. Sam followed every instruction, sent pics that showed my animals happy and cared for, left my house incredibly clean and was a great communicator through out her stay. Will continue to use her for at home sitting when I go away. 10/10 recommend.
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.
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.

The average cost of House Sitting in Oak Crest is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $83 per night.

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.
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 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
