“Brittany did an amazing job taking care of our dog and our home! Very professional and easy to communicate with. Highly recommended her for any of your animal needs!”
“Nikki did a great job! My fur kids were calm and happy when I got home. The pictures she sent showed how comfortable they were with her. She also watered some of my plants and took good care of my home.”
“I’d say we loved Alyssa, but really it was our pups! We have a puppy so it’s a little bit of extra work and attention and she did a great job! The house looked just as we left it and the boys were so well taken care of.”
“Felicia ALWAYS goes above and beyond! We have nothing negative to say. Our pups love her and we love her. She communicates and is super flexible such as when pup gets a little sick, staying slightly beyond contract to ensure he’ll be ok until our scheduled return. Thank you again, Felicia, for spoiling Levi and Yara with your love!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve cared for dogs and cats for many years and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and lots of love. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, walks, medication, or extra attention, I’m happy to provide the care they deserve. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I treat every pet in my care like one of my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time, attention, and care they deserve. I can accommodate feeding schedules, playtime, medication routines, and regular check-ins. I understand that consistency is important for cats, and I strive to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. I make sure food, water, litter boxes, and any medications are taken care of, and I provide playtime, affection, and updates so owners know their pets are happy and safe while they’re away.
“We had an excellent experience with Monica! She took wonderful care of both my cat and dog at my home while we were away. She walked my dog each day and did a great job handling her (she is anxious and can be fear aggressive). We received regular updates and cute photos, which gave us peace of mind knowing our fur-babies were well cared for while we were gone. We highly recommend Monica.”
“Mandy was absolutely perfect! Cleo loved her, which was such a relief since Cleo can be particular about new people. Having Mandy there took a huge weight off my shoulders while I was away, and I loved receiving daily photos and updates of Cleo. It was so reassuring to know she was happy and well cared for. On top of that, I came home after a grueling travel day to a freshly cleaned home, which was the best welcome home I could have asked for. I would absolutely book with Mandy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter.”
About: Over two decades of experience taking care of client's dogs, cats and exotics primarily working in client's homes to ensure the companion animals are safe and happy at home. I work in education, so my schedule is extremely flexible this Summer. I would be honored to be trusted carer of your pets and home while you need to be away! I find my expertise is working with client's pets in their own home and consistently maintaining the routine they and their pets are used to.
“Nicole was great. Came home to a happy dog. She was on time and communicated often as needed during our time away and her time with our high energy dog. He’s not good with other dogs most often so having someone to come here is great. I won’t hesitate to hire her again.”
“Rachel went above and beyond to take great care of our pup! She was very interested in all our dog’s quirks and triggers and she took them very seriously which led to our pup feeling really safe with her immediately. She even picked up extra supplies when we ran out of them accidentally, and she sent lots of pics and videos so I never had to wonder how things were going. Will definitely recommend + book her again soon!”
About: I have had several dogs, cats, reptiles through out my life. My primary goal is making sure they have fun and enjoy their time hanging out. I currently work as a Machinist, however I am available on weekends and holidays to provide sitting and care services. I love meeting new animals and getting to know their individual personalities. I have a fenced in backyard, I also go on nightly walks and often travel to local trails and beaches for short outdoor adventures which I enjoy sharing with new four legged friends.
About: I grew up around dogs all my life! I used to volunteer watching over my friends dogs. I understand how precious each and every dog is, and I intend to treat them with the loving they deserve! I work full time Monday thru Friday. I get home around 4:30. But I am usually free on the weekends. Just shoot me a message and I’ll come watch your pups! I have a fenced in back yard, filled with grass. I have a couple of shiba Inus. They are sweet and love meeting new friends!
About: I have grown up around pets my entire life, owning multiple dogs, from a range of small to large size dogs. I have a very flexible schedule with an easy to accommodate home. Nice neighborhood for walks! Would be more than happy to take care of your pet and host them whenever needed. I am a very open person who is more than willing to accommodate any person’a needs or requests! I work a flexible schedule and make pet care part of my daily routine. Pets will get regular potty breaks, walks, feeding times, play sessions, and attention throughout the day. I can provide updates, photos, and consistent care to help pets feel comfortable and relaxed while their owners are away provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where safety comes first. I carefully follow feeding instructions, medication schedules, and exercise needs. I always supervise pets, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and stress-free in my care or in a client’s home
“Casey was incredible, I could not recommend him more highly! My dog was really sick while I was away and Casey kept me informed, sent plenty of pics, and he did everything he could to help my pup and keep him comfortable. Thank you again Casey!”
“Donna came to our house to watch our sixteen year old timer doggo, she's a terrific communicator, extremely friendly and trustworthy, and she took wonderful care of him. Highly recommend her, we will definitely be calling her again for future sitting. Reliable and caring.”
About: I have always loved animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I have experience with cats, dogs, bunnies, and reptiles.

“Bridgette far surpassed my expectations for house & pet sitting. I'm real fussy about this sort of thing and I will tell you that she is the best we've experienced. Prompt, communicative, caring, and meticulous - Bridgette is not only a professional at home & pet sitting but also, just a fine person. Snatch her up to care for your home & pets if she's available. She's so good that we'll work around her availability for subsequent requirements if able. Thanks Bridgette.”
About: I’ve always dabbled in pet sitting for the fun of traveling and meeting new breeds. Now that I’m semi - retired, I've discovered a new joy in providing care without the pressure of outside responsibilities. Having nowhere else to be means I can spend hours with your pets, letting them set the pace on our walks, and offering endless cuddles, allowing me to form trusted connections with every animal I watch. It is not that pet care fits into my life as much as pet care IS my life. It is breakfast, walk or read (depending on the species), groom, pet, games, naps, then dinner and repeat until bedtime. In follow the outline provided by the pet parent to work through the pet’s familiar daily routine. For dogs, I emphasize exercise and with cats, I emphasize stillness. For both, we find a compromise 😂

She did an amazing at helping Haley staying calm from the fireworks. She sat with her held her made sure she was safe and not scared. Came all the way from Oak Harbor to take care of my little girl. Did a wonderful job as always! Haley loves hanging out with Jazmin! I would recommend her to anyone! Fantastic job!! I don’t have to worry when she’s dog sitter because I know she is so thorough, and detail oriented like I like!
Mandy was absolutely perfect! Cleo loved her, which was such a relief since Cleo can be particular about new people. Having Mandy there took a huge weight off my shoulders while I was away, and I loved receiving daily photos and updates of Cleo. It was so reassuring to know she was happy and well cared for.

FAQs for House Sitting - Oak Harbor
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Oak Harbor on Rover is $49.95 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 991 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Oak Harbor. 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 Harbor 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 Harbor 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 Harbor 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.

- 98% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
