“They did a great job of watching my dogs for me in my home. The dogs loved them immediately and wanted to spend the entire time playing or cuddled up with them. They were also really quick to respond to my last minute message requesting a booking. I really appreciate them being able to watch them and doing such a great job. I would book again.”
“Abbagayle did great pet sitting for our super senior dog Remy who is almost 18. She was kind, gentle, and trustworthy. She has a gentle presentation that’s comforting for pets and Remy seemed to really like her. We have highly recommend her as a sitter for any pet.”
About: I've dog sat for friends for several years and had a variety of pets growing up. I'm good at following directions for a specific pet's care. I work part time remote, so I'm flexible for house sitting or drop-by services. If you happen to have a bird, I can take care of them, too! I have a parakeet who lives in a large cage inside -- he doesn't know how good he has it, LOL! I also cared for a variety of pets growing up.
“Lainey stayed with our baby Roffi for a few days while we were out of town and she was AMAZING!! She sent pics of him everyday and gave him all the love and attention he needed. We’re so grateful and hope to hire her again in the future!!”
“Averie did a great job pet setting for our 18 year old dog Remy. She provided a calm, nurturing presence for him that made him feel comfortable. I would highly recommended Averie for house sitting/pet sitting.”
“She was amazing! My dog was fine and approached Maureen during our meet and greet and but then my dog gave her a hard time the first few nights. Maureen was patient and sweet with my girls and by the last day of our weekend, my girls loved her. I will 100% be using her services again!”
About: Although I do not have professional pet-sitting experience, I have cared for my own dog and nine cats for many years. I am comfortable feeding pets, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, providing exercise and playtime, and ensuring pets receive the attention and care they need. I am dependable, patient, and love working with animals. I work as a behavior technician on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays during the mornings. I am available for pet care visits in the afternoons and evenings on those days, all day on Saturdays, and Sunday mornings. I am not available on Tuesdays or Thursdays. I strive to provide dependable, consistent care and follow each pet’s regular routine as closely as possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and following the owner’s instructions. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication directions, exercise routines, and any special care needs. I respect your home and work to maintain your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable while you are away. My experience caring for my own dog and multiple cats has taught me to be attentive, patient, and responsive to each pet’s individual needs.
“I can’t say enough good things about Emily. From her communication to the way she cared about my dogs, she is just great. Definitely booking again if she is available. Thank you so much for your help Emily”
“Air was so great!! Bubba can be aggressive, depending on how you approach him, and he immediately ran up to her and gave her a kiss 🥹 He won’t do a lot of things while I’m gone, but she got him to go outside, potty, fetch, and eat cheese - things he wouldn’t even do for my family off the bat. I appreciated the updates throughout the day, as well as the pictures. This was my first time using Rover, and I’m so glad that I chose Air to watch Bubba while I was visiting for a wedding 🩷 I would ABSOLUTELY rebook if I lived there!!”
“Ayla did a great job!! The dogs were spoiled just as if I were home. Plenty of pics and updates to keep me comfortable away from the monsters....and my house was left as if she were never here. I will absolutely look to have her house sit in the future! Thanks Ayla!!”
About: I have taken care of animals since I was 14. I fostered two medical puppies and then fostered two healthy puppies right after. I have volunteered at YAPS on dog walking on Saturday mornings, etc. I'm currently working part-time. I am available to take care of your pups Thursday -Sunday. I am pretty flexible with time as I only work part-time along with going to college. Just shoot me a text about availability since my schedule fluctuates :)! I will keep your pups in your yard or inside the house. I will always have my eye on your pups without any distractions. I will love your furbabies as my own.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life. I grew up on a farm and we had a wide range of animals. Dogs have always had a special place in my heart and are my happy place when I’m down. I have experience with every size dog and am comfortable with puppies and senior dogs. I have experience with administering medications and shots. I have three small dogs of my own, one of whom is trained to smell my blood sugar, another is a survivor of trauma. The last is just a goofball. I work full time in a hospital, but only three days a week. My work days are Friday through Sunday. Monday through Thursday are completely open. I hardly ever go out except for errands, and dogs are more fun than people, so I’d rather spend time with them. My yard is not fenced, but I have plenty of time to go on walks with them and three fur babies to keep them company. I have a crate if needed, a puppy play pen from when my babies were little, and plenty of pee pads in case of accidents. Plus a big comfy bed to cuddle in.
About: Hi! My name is Amber, and I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every dog in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. Whether your pup needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication, overnight care, or simply a companion while you’re away, I am committed to providing a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience. I pride myself on being reliable, trustworthy, and attentive to each dog’s unique needs and routine. I love building relationships with both pets and their owners, and my goal is always to make sure your furry family member feels happy, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I have a flexible schedule and am available for walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, feeding, medication administration, playtime, and companionship. I am dedicated to following your pet’s routine and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I feel that I am very trustworthy, I respect other peoples property and I would give your dog the best time possible on their walk
“This was our first time having someone do a house sitting, and we couldn’t be happier! Sofia was so great with the dogs, gave updates and left the house spotless. She went above and beyond offering to wash the bedding in the room she used. Thoroughly impressed, and would highly recommend!!”
“Malia was so great to my furbbys. She played with and spoiled them while i was gone😍. They warmed up to her real quick. Definitely recommend Malia and will be booking her again.”
“Parker was great with our pups for a nearly 3 week house sitting stay. He was very responsive and took wonderful care of all 3 of our huskies! Huskies can be very demanding on attention and care and Parker handled it with ease - not to mention walking 3 huskies twice a day is no easy task! The pups all took to him right away when we did our meet and greet and we felt very comfortable with having him stay in our home so we could enjoy our vacation without worry. He was very communicative and took great care of the house. He went above and beyond with helping keep the place clean and watering our plants outside! We feel we can take more trips now without worry as we have a great sitter available and knows our pups through and through. We highly recommend Parker as a dog sitter who will take wonderful care of your furry loved ones and of course your home.”
“Brittney was great with my babies and came twice daily to love on them. She did a great job on feeding them and watering them and even giving them walks. We did have one issue while I was gone early in the morning, but as soon as she awoke she headed over to rectify the situation. I will for sure be using her in the future.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Oak Glen
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,431 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Oak Glen. 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 Glen 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 Glen 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 Glen 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.
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.
