“Christian is the best dog sitter we could ask for. He is so thoughtful and thorough. We asked him last minute to watch our boys during to a family emergency and he was so flexible and patient!!! 10/10.”
“She was an absolute delight. Took excellent care of my home and my fur baby. Looking forward to having Zubin sit Duke again. And he loved every minute of the attention and walks. Great communication and updates. BIG THANKS and APPRECIATION!”
“Rachael was amazing, she did everything we asked and went above and beyond for the pups. Everything ran smoothly and we can’t recommend her enough! Anyone looking for some help with your pups absolutely reach out to Rachael!”
“Jabe did such a wonderful job with our dogs, Dolly and Baxter. He was thorough and asked great questions that showed he really cared about making sure they were taken care of. He sent us updates and photos of the pups while we were away, which always is appreciated. He’s also the only pet sitter who left us a welcome home note and thanked us for letting him watch our pups. So thoughtful. Highly recommend!!!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life! I grew up with a dog of my own and have been dog sitting for family, friends, and neighbors for as long as I can remember. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities and love everything from long walks and playtime to cuddles and keeping them company. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone you trust, and I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own! As a PA student, my schedule is structured, but I built in intentional breaks for exercise, fresh air, and animal time to stay balanced! I’m available for early morning walks before class, mid day check ins, evening visits, and overnight stays. Studying from home on evenings and weekends also means I’m around to keep your pet company, stick strictly to their routine, and give them plenty of attention while I review my notes. I live in a cozy, pet-safe apartment that's perfect for small dogs. We are located right across the street from one of the best dog parks in the area, so your pup will get plenty of outdoor time, fresh air, and exercise! I maintain a calm, secure environment and limit the space so they feel completely comfortable.
About: Previously, I worked as a Veterinary Pathology Technician. This position allowed me to pay attention to certain changes in ability and health. I have experience in dog/cat boarding, administering pet meds, bathing small/large dogs , and clipping nails. I am able to provide meals 3 times per day. I am available on the afternoons of weekdays, weekends, and holidays to provide loving care. I allow a sense of freedom and opportunity to roam around the area of the home or play while continuously making sure your pet is safe.
“As hard as it was for us to even consider leaving our fur babies with someone other than family, Lindsey has changed our view! She took great care of both our pups and our house (which was spotless for our return and we truly appreciated). Lindsey sent daily updates and provided us pics of our girls. Both times Lindsey has sat for us she did an excellent job of shoveling the snowfall in both the back and front yards. We will definitely use Lindsey in the future.”
“We were on vacation in Nashville needing a sitter and not knowing anyone in the area made it difficult until I found the Rover App. I was able to do a video chat with Stephanie, which made me feel comfortable with hiring her. She is very pleasant and easy to deal with and to talk with. If we are ever in Nashville again, I would definitely hire Stephanie again.”
“Grace was a fantastic house and pup sitter for us! She was on time and gave us many check ins to see our dogs having a great time with her. She left our house in great shape and went above and beyond in the care of everything. I would highly recommend and plan to re-book with her in the future. Thanks!”
“Emily was amazing! She kept me very updated with how things were going and it was a priority of hers to make sure the dogs were comfortable and happy. So grateful for her and will absolutely be using her again!!”
“Amelia did a fantastic job sitting our two pups. She gave them lots of love, attention, and play time, even though the weather wasn’t the best. She also did a great job checking in with us, which made for a great experience. 10/10 - we will definitely use her again!”
About: There hasn’t even been a time in my life where I haven’t been surrounded by animals. I grew up on a farm with mostly dogs, but also chickens, a pony, goats, bunnies, cats, and turkeys. I love them all! I work every other week with my full time position so on my off weeks I am looking for something to do that I know I’ll enjoy and animals are a huge joy in my life. I’d love to take stress off a pet parent in knowing who is taking care of their babies is truly loving on them. I personally won’t be keeping animals at my own home, but will do whatever is needed at the clients home for their baby. I am super organized, detail oriented, and reliable.
“Brittany was a great house sitter! I appreciated her care for Foxy and she very helpfully organized my selection of teas and left the house very clean. I would definitely have her sit again.”
“Melissa was a wonderful dog sitter! She took the best care of my girls and treated them like her own. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and communicative sitter. She also took great care of my home.”
“Allie did a great job of watching our dogs while we were away. She was communicative and left our house looking great! She followed our instructions well, and I would not hesitate to hire her again in the future.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Oak Hill
Grace is amazing! She watched our two doodles for 4 nights and was so good with them. She kept them on their schedule, gave them daily walks, and sent lots of pictures and updates. We came home to the happiest pups and a clean house - she even washed her bedding and towels and the house was spotless.
Delilah and Jonathan were absolutely incredible sitters for our dog, Blueberry! They kept us updated with photos and walk reports, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We felt completely at ease knowing Blue was in such caring hands and our home was being well looked after. We would happily recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, thoughtful, and reliable pet sitters!
Patti was absolutely incredible! While we were across the world, she checked in with us daily and made us feel safe and reassured that our pup was being taken care of. This was the first time ever having someone stay in our home to take care of our senior dog and we are so happy we did it! Harper was given new toys, given all her medications, walked daily, and overall fully pampered while we were gone. Patti was kind enough to also leave us with a clean home and gifts upon our return! I highly recommend you reach out to her for dog care: she is the best choice out there! Thank you for everything, Patti!
Paige was absolutely wonderful with our pups! She was incredibly responsive throughout our stay and sent us lots of updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She also went above and beyond taking such great care of both our dogs and our home. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely rebook with Paige!
I found myself in major bind when a sitter I hired didn’t show after I had already left for my trip and Lauren saved the day! Not only was she able to help me on super short notice, but she immediately put my mind at ease by being extremely communicative and asking thoughtful questions about my pups care. She sent great pictures and kept me updated throughout her stay. I can’t recommend Lauren enough!
Gina was absolutely amazing for angus! Angus can be a little stressed out when we leave for the weekend and she handled him with such care and love. Making sure he felt comfy and even asking what she could do to make him feel better. She gave updated and pictures and angus was so calm and perfect when we came home. Gina really was the best for our man and kept our home clean while we were away. I will definitely be reaching out to her again for our angus and I HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND 100/10

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Oak Hill is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $89 per night. 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.

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 , 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 .
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 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.
