“Katherine was so amazing with our two pups!! It was our first time leaving them since we’ve had a baby, and so I was nervous but she sent us so many updates and gave them tons of love. We felt so comfortable with them in her care. Our house looked great when we got home and the dogs were happy to see us but nice and relaxed. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter!”
“Erin was fantastic! She provided daily photos of my pup and made sure she was walked, fed, played with, and given plenty of cuddles. It was clear she genuinely cared and took such great care of my dog while I was away. I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in such good hands. I can't recommend her highly enough and will definitely be booking her again for future stays!”
“Zubin took amazing care of our two pups on a recent 10 day trip! We were both nervous to leave our girls for such a long period of time but felt SO comfortable the entire trip because of Zubin’s great communication and care. Thank you Zubin!!!”
“Madison was a wonderful pet and house sitter. When I came home, both of my pets exhibited signs of low anxiety. My home was cared for and tidy. Madison was a great communicator leading up to and during the stay. I would hire her again anytime.”
“We are officially big Sophie fans in this house. She took great care of McGee! He wasn’t anxious at all when I got home, and his food, water, and litter were all fresh. Sophie even rigged up two of his stick toys between the couch cushions so he could play after she left this morning 🥹 We loved her and will definitely ask her back when we need a sitter!”
“Kaitlyn was amazing! We felt so comfortable leaving our pup with her. She sent us several photos throughout the day and our Charlie loved her! We will definitely be using her again!”

“I am not the best at leaving reviews but I would feel borderline guilty if I did not leave one for Kyle. He was by far the best sitter we have had in our 8yrs of having our fur babies. Yes, you heard that correctly. The best we have ever had. He was so considerate, attentive, and sent so many updates and photos. He even washed our bedding and did dishes on his last day! To say he was unbelievable doesn’t even do him justice. He is one of the friendliest people we have met. If you are looking at his profile, take my advice, book now because once his name gets out there I doubt he will have much availability. The guy really is heaven sent as a sitter.”
“Emily came in clutch and did such an amazing job with our little pup Daphne. She played with her during her zoomies, knew to redirect her chewing with toys, and got her nice and tired for a long nap. I felt at ease knowing Daphne was being well taken care of.”
“Emily is a sweet girl, with good communication and punctuality which is very important for us. Very easy to talk to. We felt secure knowing our babies were in good hands. Did everything she was instructed to do. We left and came with our place clean. Nothing negative to say overall very positive. Thank u again Emily from the 3 of us (:”
“Sydney is a great sitter! My guy was so calm when I got home and seemed well-adjusted. She provided photos and updates while I was away, and she was accommodating when my flight was canceled and I needed additional care for McGee. We would definitely book her again!”
“Malesa stayed with our two chihuahuas for 7 days. She was amazing, she even cooked for them! My puppies didn’t even miss us!! We are so grateful that she stayed with our puppies!”
“Paige took such great care of Finn! He was happy and well exercised when I got home from my weekend away. She was attentive to him and made sure to send me updates and pictures throughout the weekend which was appreciated.”
“I’ve used Rover more than 20 times over the years, and Rose was by far the best sitter we’ve ever had! She went above and beyond to ensure we knew our pups were in great hands, keeping us updated and handling every detail with care. She not only met all of our requests but exceeded our expectations in every way. Highly recommend!”
“Rachael was wonderful, attentive, and communicative. She was very easy to talk to and the animals loved having her around! Easy 5 stars, I’d give 6 if I could. :)”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Oak Hill
We had an amazing experience with Pamela (she goes by Kat!)! We are very new dog parents and were nervous to leave our Peanut for the first time, but everything went so smoothly with Kat! She was extremely communicative, responsible, and sweet to our little guy. She clearly loves animals and was so patient with him. She also sent us so many amazing pictures! Having a stranger stay in our house while we’re gone was also new for us, but Kat was respectful of our home and our things, leaving everything as she found it. I will definitely book Kat again, and am so grateful to have found someone I trust to watch our dog!
Paige was wonderful to us! She communicates with updates and pictures. She brought our mail inside, packages and even wash the sheets of the bed she slept in and washed our dishes in the dishwasher. We definitely recommend her. She gave a lot of love to our goldendoodle. Thanks Paige for staying on top of everything.
Alicia was great! Very accommodating and reliable and Otis loved her as soon as he met her at our meet and greet. She updated me throughout the week with pictures, and I know he felt safe and comfortable staying with Alicia. Would totally rebook in the future :)
Angela was great, communicative and kept us up to date with pictures and the activities of the cats. She has an emergency where we she couldn't stay a night and without asking altered the booking, which was greatly appreciated. Angela was also flexible when our alarm system was playing up. Our cats were well looked after. I would reccomend for sitting and book again.
Anna was great.....She came to our house prior to her stay so we could teach her what she needed to know. She communicated with us while we were gone. The house was in perfect shape when we returned. Also, my dogs were not clingy to us when we returned, which meant she gave them ample attention. I definitely recommend Anna and would use her again.
Emily is truly an angel! She took the utmost care of my Sophie and kept me continually updated with pictures and videos throughout the duration of my trip which put my naturally anxious heart at ease. Emily is absolutely my new go-to! Couldn’t speak highly enough!
Ariel is so fantastic! She took wonderful care of my cat - above and behind. Very responsive, took great photos, and made sure he was healthy and happy. She is a meticulous sitter and ensured she understood all aspects of caring for him, including his weird quirks. I would recommend Ariel to anyone looking for response, reliable, trustworthy care.

FAQs for House Sitting - Oak Hill
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Oak Hill on Rover is $55.5 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 2,645 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Oak Hill. 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 Hill 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 Hill 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 Hill 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 Hill. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
