“Jody was so great with my kitty, and was willing to go the extra mile if needed with simple house tasks. I would definitely book with her again, she sent great update photos and my kitty looked happy :))”
“I can’t say enough about Holly! We have a very nervous pittie with a lot of trust issues. She made it her mission to be buddies with him while also giving him the space and time he needs. She has been great and has great communication skills! 10/10 recommend!”
“Nicole took great care of our over anxious Aussie’s. Nicole is the first non family member who has provided care for them. Nicole kept me well informed of her visit and the dog’s reaction with her. We will definitely request more visits with Nicole.”
“Madelynn has been very responsive in handling my booking requests, and she has taken very good care of my two dogs including meals, playtime, light brushing and short walks. She sends a Rover card after each visit with activity updates and fresh photos. I would highly recommend Madelynn drop in visits.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, from puppies to seniors! We have a dog, along with chickens & a bearded dragon. I’m comfortable with different animals, routines, and personalities, and I love helping families feel at ease while they’re away. I’m currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and care that fits your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible I care for pets with the same patience, attention, and respect I would want for my own home and animals. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, keep pets on their normal routine, make sure doors/gates are secure, and pay attention to their comfort, behavior, and safety. Whether I’m in your home or caring for your pet while you’re away, my goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and well cared for.
“So good with our pups! Sent lots of pics and updates. Even met us before we went out of town to learn the ropes and meet the dogs free of charge. Would definitely use his wonderful services again!”
“Jaimie is fabulous. My cat liked her immediately. She took lovely photos and kept me updated on my cat’s eating and litter activities, which I appreciated and made me feel confident that all was well. She made the right decision when faced with a mistake on my part. I trust Jaimie and would highly recommend her. You’d lucky to have her as a pet sitter!”
“Sheray was an incredible sitter for my pets. I hired her for drop-in visitations at my home and she exceeded my expectations. She was always on time and she communicated so fast with what my dogs were up to. She sent me pictures, videos and long updates of what had happened during her time with them. It felt great knowing my dogs were safe and well taken care of. I highly recommend her!”
“Melissa dropped in to check on my 2 cats for four days. She was kind, dependable and responsible which gave me peace of mind, especially considering one of my cats is elderly and needs daily medication.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Oak Harbor
Colby has been absolutely wonderful! She responded to my initial inquiry almost immediately, and we were able to arrange a meet and greet right away. Both of my dogs took to her instantly, which gave me a lot of confidence and peace of mind. Throughout the week, she was dependable, showed up as scheduled, and provided pictures and updates after her visits. It’s reassuring to know my dogs are being well cared for while I’m at work. I’m very happy with my experience so far and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.
We needed a sitter at the last minute for our dog and cat, and Logan was able to help us out. She is friendly, dependable and keeps up communication. I enjoyed the pictures of Russell and Oscar from her visits (they were so good and now some of our faves!). Our pets seemed to enjoy their weekend with Logan :-). Thank you so much, Logan!
We booked Nicole and Cody for drop ins for our dogs while we were on vacation. We booked one hour visits twice a day for 5 days. A few visits did end up being about 30 ish min but the dogs were fed and had plenty of backyard time and that's what matters. Pictures were provided everyday that showed them warming to the Rovers and having a good time. One of our dogs is on a daily allergy medicine and the rovers seem to have gotten him to take it every day! This was our first time using Rover and probably won't be our last.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Oak Harbor is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $33 per visit. 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.
As of October 2026, there are 1,414 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Oak Harbor. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Oak Harbor. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
