“Angela took great care of our animals while we were gone for over a week. She handled daily medications for our cats. The house looked great when we got back and the dogs and cats were clearly well take care of. We would definitely like for her to come stay with them again!”

About: I've had dogs in my life since I was 8 and all my dogs have shown great love towards me because I give them the full love back. I am known in the family as the family caretaker when our dogs get old and need special attention. The reason I take care of my dogs when they get older because I have the patience, attentions, and most of all, love in supporting them through their elderly stage. All pets deserve the best and I am more than happy to provide that! I am currently taking the year off from work to travel the world but in between my trips I have a lot of free time and feel it can be better spent taking care of pets while other people can enjoy trips or another activity that requires them to leave their pet at home. I have a 5-year old Havanese and I take him on walks daily, I make sure he is bathe at least once a month, and try to take him on as many trips so I can, so he can enjoy the world as much I as I do.
“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.”
“Our cat loved Ron! She is a handful and he did a great job of keeping her busy and happy. A real plus with Ron is that he is with your pet most of the day every day that you are gone.”
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.
“Sienna took such wonderful care our 2 pups while we were gone for several days. She kept us updated with pictures, and reassured us that they were doing great She also housesat for us and took excellent care of our home. I would highly recommend her, and we'll definitely be using her again when we need her.”
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!
“Felicia took excellent care of our 12 week old German Shepherd puppy. Bri was happy and relaxed when we got home and Felicia sent me pictures and updates. Thank you Felicia!!”
“Samara was the perfect fit for my dog who has separation anxiety. Her calm, confident demeanor kept Buster relaxed and happy for the entire time we we gone. Samara was very flexible and asked great questions. I will not hesitate for a second to book 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!”
“Madison was excellent. I couldn’t have ask for a better care person for my animals. She kept me updated and sent lots of pictures. I had a newly rescued dog that needed lots of love and she was amazing with her. My other dog is very active and most happy running. She was able to keep him happy as well. Madison is highly recommended!!!”
“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.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Oak Harbor
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Oak Harbor on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 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 August 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.

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.
