“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.”
“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!”
“Kristin is wonderful! She took great care of our senior dog and many cats and was communicative throughout with texted updates and photos. Tidied up after herself and did all she promised. This was our first time using Rover and we couldn't be happier. We came home to a house full of relaxed and happy pets 😁 Will definitely re-book with Kristina in the future!”
About: I have worked with so many animals over the years and I can guarantee that nothing will surprise me. I will provide thoughtful loving care to any animals, just as I have with my own dog and the countless foster cats that have come through my doors. I have worked professionally with lots of animals at a guest ranch and love animals so much that I wanted to be of service for animals in Forsyth county. I am currently an online college student and in between seasonal jobs, making my schedule open for whatever animal care needs people may require. I can be available any day of the week currently. I make sure any animal is fed/walked/let outside on the schedule provided to me and that the animals are all happy and comfortable. If at any time an animal seems uncomfortable I will attempt to remedy the situation immediately.
About: I've owned, trained, been around, worked with animals for over 25 years. I would absolutely love to help love on and care for your pet! I work full time from home with a very flexible schedule that I manage myself. I am often found walking the neighborhood while listening to a podcast! I have a secure fenced in back yard and also have an XL dog kennel as well as a Small size kennel available, if needed.
“Holly stayed at my house over the holidays with my two big dogs. I was really anxious to leave them because they are used to traveling with me but Holly put me at ease. She did a great job sending updates and even cleaned my house! Will definitely use Holly again.”
“I was nervous to leave nova our pet home and have someone stay with her she has alot of anxiety and I knew I didnt want to put her in a kennel either. I had a family member that has used Rover so I decided to look I looked for two weeks reading reviews and decided on Bonnie she was so good with Nova and she was always on time and sent alot of pictures made our vacation alot easier knowing she was taking care of our fur baby I will be using her on our future vacation”
“I was very pleased with Brooke. She took good care of my boy. He was very happy when I got home. And showed no signs of stress from my absence. Good communication also.”
“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.”
“Great care of our cat and dog including giving our anxious dog his medication. Appreciate the reliable care of our pets and home Sandra has provided. Communication was perfect while we were away.”
“We have a senior dog who needs someone with her and Caleigh did a great job with her. She provided pics several times during our trip which were greatly appreciated. House was in great shape when we got home. Will definitely book her again!”
“Tammera was great with my fur babies. I received lots of fun pictures and was reassured they were in good hands which allowed me the freedom to enjoy my time away. I am forever grateful!”
“We were remarkably happy with how it all went. Elena made our dogs fall in love with her. She worked with them and stayed in our house for a week. Everything went really well. I can't say enough about Elena and the care and attention she gave our dog family. It was far superior to "boarding" our dogs. We are totally confident about future times when we have to go away and leave them with her. We thank her. L.Ward”
“Nikima did an amazing job while I was gone for 5 days. She sent a lot of pictures and activie reports through her stay with my pup. Bae loves her for sure. She was great about walking and feeding and giving him his meds. She even went above and beyond and swept the house and made sure everything was neat for my return. Looking forward to booking again for my next trip.”

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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Oak Crest
Bryan is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and a compassionate pet sitter. He is very thorough and is committed to providing excellent care. He is a phenomenal communicator, and I felt completely at ease with him taking care of Marty. I highly recommend him without any reservations.
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. 🐶✨

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Oak Crest is $43 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $83 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 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.

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.
