“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”
“Summer watched Katie for me on short notice and did a wonderful job! Went above and beyond to make sure my girl was cared for. I’ll reach out to her next time I need a sitter!”
“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. 🐶✨”
“Samantha was amazing! She was able to watch our animals very last minute, and did everything we asked of her! She was very respectful of our home, and & took photos of everyone! Thanks so much!”
“Ruah was very communicative and reliable during her stay with our kitties. She left the place immaculate and we came home to two happy, healthy fur babies. Would work with Ruah again!”
“Our dog, Marcel, always love to see Dave coming. Dave is really good with him. We are very thankful to have found someone that Marcel is good with as he has severe separation anxiety.”
“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.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs. I have experience caring for puppies and elderly dogs. I have an Aussie doodle puppy. I’m available for drop ins, walks, or sittings. I have a flexible schedule and will be available the majority of the day to care of your pets. If I have to leave during boardings, it will be only for short periods of times which will be communicated to you. I live in an apartment with plenty of space and a dog park. There is a nice neighborhood and park nearby for walks. For sittings at your home, I will respect your space and keep it clean. I will update you with as many photos or videos you’d like!
“Marci is the best! She watched my four dogs overnight in my home. She brings calm to the dogs and to me. She sent plenty of pupdates, she’s puntual, a great communicator and cate taker. She also took great care of our home.”
About: Hi! I'm Dr. Mo -- I'm reliable, attentive, and I absolutely love doggos! I'm the person people trust with their pets when they're out of town, working, or overwhelmed (let's face it -- life is lifing pretty hard these days). I have a kind, grounded, and loving presence and tend to do well even with high-energy and sensitive pets. I'm a psychologist --the human kind --but I am tuned in to behavior and routines, so I pick up on what helps your pet feel safe and comfortable. Whether it's long walks (or run/hikes!), playtime, or just keeping a consistent schedule while you're away --I'll treat your pet like my own. I'm also comfortable with medications, special instructions, or multi-pet households. You'll get regular photos and updates so you'll never have to wonder how things are going. If you're looking for someone dependable who genuinely gets animals (and their humans) I'd be honored to help. The doctor is in (and down for walks!) I currently work part time (remotely) as a college professor and run my own consulting firm, so I have flexibility to care for animals all week! I tend to work from a local coffee shop or my apartment mid day, but like to take morning and afternoon breaks -- which is perfect for dog sitting/walking! I live in a shared apartment, so won't be boarding dogs, but I'm happy to house/pet sit at your home. I've been doing this for friends, family, and faculty, for over 10 years! My work is flexible -- if I have my laptop, I'm set to work from anywhere. I'm adaptable and respectful of privacy, and enjoy having a change of scenery and working from different environments -- and enjoying the company of a special doggie pal makes life more wonderful.
“Ceili was wonderful. Always felt our dogs were happy and taken care of. We got lots of food photos and videos. She stayed at our home and left it in great shape. Definitely recommend her services and we’ll be reaching out for future needs!”
About: I have always had a fondness for animals, I believe they show us the best parts of love! I have taken care of many animals including cats, dogs, and goats for many friends and family. I love spending time with the little babies who need a bit of extra attention, time, and patience! I am currently employed full time within walking distance from my apartment. I go on walks in the morning and evening, and would love more companions! I have a knack for reading how people/animals are doing in new situations, so I do my best to provide a gentle, patient, and loving home away from home!
“Alejandra was amazing, our dogs olly and isla loved her!! She was very patient with them and she cuddled and played with them alot (they’re puppies) + isla really warmed up to her which is rare because she is usually very picky about the people she’s around with. thank you so much alejandra for taking care of our kids! ◡̈ they loved you alot!! til next time!”
“MK did a great job in caring for Stoner and our home. She communicated proactively and exceeded our expectations. Stoner loved her, and had fun playing outside with her! We will reach out again for our next needs. Thank you MK!”

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. 🐶✨
Christine helped us out of a bind - the night before leaving our puppy for the first time on a 4 night trip we had to make other arrangements because of the sitter we had reserved not showing up. she came and stayed at our home and did a wonderful job with her ! We were already apprehensive about leaving her and to have that happen at the last minute it was such a blessing to find such a professional Dog Sitter. We highly recommend her. She left our home in great condition and was an excellent communicator which made us feel comfortable while on our trip. We highly recommend her.
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!
Emily did a great job watching our dog. She was quick to respond to messages and gave us regular updates while we were gone. I particularly liked that she let us know her planned schedule for communicating with us, so we knew when to expect an update each day. Our dog was happy when we returned and our house was just as we left it. We definitely recommend Emily!

FAQs for House Sitting - Oak Crest
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Oak Crest on Rover is $37.45 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 886 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Oak Crest. 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 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Oak Crest. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
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.
