“We had a great experience with Rosemary! She came early so the dogs could warm up to her, which we really appreciated. She took amazing care of them while we were away and sent tons of pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear our dogs were comfortable and well loved. Highly recommend!”
“From our first meeting with Perry, we knew our beloved dog and cat were in great hands. Perry was extremely sweet, gentle and thorough caring for our senior dog and spent time getting to know our shy kitty, Eddie. Perry’s communication is excellent. She sent us lots of pictures and videos. We were able to relax and enjoy ourselves knowing our dog and cat were not just walked and fed, but loved on. Our home was kept tidy as well. She is definitely on our favorites list!”
“Carson was wonderful with my 2 cats! He sent pictures for updates and even dealt with a spontaneous hairball ? one of my cats was not happy about Carson but Carson continued to let him get comfortable and finally sent pictures of my cat hanging out on his lap!”
About: What’s Pup? 🐶 Hi everyone, I’m Amalia 👋🏼 I have been my communities, family and friends, go to pet sitter for the past decade. Now I am expanding my services, to you! I am a lifelong animal lover who treats every four legged friend like a VIP ~Very Important Pet 🐈⬛ . Whether your furry family member loves a brisk morning walk, an intense game of fetch, or just high-level couch snuggles, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and spoiled rotten while you're away 🙃 You can enjoy your vacation while knowing your pet is also getting pawmpered 🐾 A little bit about me: • 🏡 I live locally in a house in Herndon, VA • I have two feline fur babies, Moshi 🐈 and Baby Velvet 🐈⬛ • ❤️ I have over a decade of experience caring for dogs/cats/seniors/medication-needing pets. I have administered oral medication to elderly dogs and cats. • 📸 You’ll get cute photo and video updates, so you never have to miss seeing their goofy faces. When not with fur babies, you can usually find me on a nature walk or reading 📖 with a cup of tea 🍵. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet! Please send me a message or book a free meet-and-greet so we can say howl-o (hello💗) 🐕 As a substitute teacher, my schedule is highly flexible. Because I can choose my own working days, I am able to prioritize your pet's needs and structure my routine entirely around them. When house sitting, my main goal is to keep your pet feeling secure by strictly adhering to their established daily routine. Often while pet sitting, I do not take sub jobs, so I can focus fully on your pet. 🐾 🐕 Pet Sitting A typical day under my care generally looks like this: • Morning: We start the day with breakfast at their usual time, followed by a morning walk to burn off some energy. 🌅 • Midday: I provide a midday pee break and some stretch time. If your pet thrives on movement we can go on another longer walk. ☀️ • Evening: Dinner and then we head out on a final walk together. ✨ • Throughout the Day: I provide affection, playtime, and treats 🦴 as allowed by you. 🏡Home Sitting I treat your home with the exact same care and respect that I give your pets. I understand how important peace of mind is when you are away, so I gladly take care of basic household tasks to keep things running smoothly, including: • Watering your plants so they stay healthy. 🌱 • Bringing in the mail and packages daily. 📦 • Maintaining a clean space so you return to a spotless, welcoming home. 🌳
“Sofia watched my two dogs for almost a week, and I had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such great hands. She sent me lots of pictures and videos throughout the week, took them on walks, gave them plenty of snuggles, and treated them like they were her own. It was so comforting knowing they were well cared for while I was away. Sofia is trustworthy, communicative, and genuinely caring, and I will absolutely be booking with her again in the future. If you’re looking for someone who will love and care for your pets as if they were her own, I highly recommend Sofia!”
“This was my first time booking with Melinda and she exceeded all our needs, especially when my dog had a bad day health wise. I took the longest vacation in my adult life and overseas as well, she gave me peace of mind I needed to enjoy my trip. 1000% would rebook and recommend her wholeheartedly.”
“Jake took such great care of our big lovable boy (145lb alaskan malamute) while we were out of state for a couple days. He sent us daily updates with pictures of our happy boy, which was so appreciated since this was our first time using a sitter. Amazing job!”
“Habiba was a last minute find as my plans changed rapidly and needed someone to house sit my dog Gus. She was super communicative and flexible. After meeting her first I knew she'd take excellent care of my baby. She kept me updated constantly and handled any issues that arose (my dog is older so he has issues now and then). She sent me plenty of pics as I requested and I would absolutely leave my dog in her care again. 10/10”
About: For the last three years, I have taken care of several dogs in my neighborhood. Mostly walking them, at times several walks a day, and dogsitting as well. I am able to account for the needs of dogs and am able to safely walk them. I am also a proud owner of two beautiful cats, so I am familiar with the habits of cats and how to tend to their individual needs! All my neighbors view me as a trustworthy companion and caregiver for their furry friends It is currently my summertime before school so until mid-August I am mostly free every day. My availability will be dependent on variable day-to-day summer errands, but I will be sure to prioritize my furry clients! I will keep a leash on your pet at all times during the walk and be sure to provide them with anything, such as food, treats, or water after the walk.
“Hana was great- came early and was willing to stay well beyond her scheduled time. Would definitely recommend her and will be using her again in the future if she is available! Thanks again Hana!!”
“Keila is so sweet and wonderful with animals!!! It was so great to receive updates and pictures/ videos of my cat while I was away!! Amazing experience + highly recommend!! :D”
“Amalia took excellent care of our reactive dog, showing calmness and skill in getting him to come with her. She also took excellent care of our house. We wholly recommend her and welcome her again. Thank you Amalia!!”
About: Hello! My name is Raechel. I have a love for animals and appreciate caring for them. I’ve had the pleasure of looking after so many amazing dogs ranging from little doodles to larger breeds like labs. I’m not in the position to have my own dog at the moment, so I’m grateful to have an opportunity to meet new little friends. I’m currently working full time. My days start off early, around 4 AM and I get off at 2:30 PM on most days. I have flexibility on my off days, which are Thursday and Friday. I’m also willing to keep dogs with me for extended period of time. I live at an apartment complex that’s super walkable. I’m near many parks that I can take pets to and play with them. My top priority is making sure they are safe and cared for.
“Erica was so great with Cleo! She kept us updated with adorable pictures and videos and left the house super clean! We would highly recommend and will definitely book in the future.”
About: Hello! My name is Emily! Thank you for considering me! I am HUGE about animals! I grew up in a household that would regularly foster kittens and puppies! Me and my family have always been animal lovers and have always been the people you can rely on with your babies. As young as eight years old I was helping my mother walk and play with any of the dogs she was house-sitting! I’ve been entrusted as the friend/ family member to ask and hire for any house-sitting, walking, and boarding needs! I’ve housed cats, dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, parrots, and even reptiles like turtles and bearded dragons! I am even a mommy to a two year old kitty named Jack and a eight year old Indian Ring Neck Parrot named Bingo! I will ensure your furbaby gets the absolute best and utmost care under my wing! I currently do work full time and am saving up for school and medical bills. I am mostly available in the afternoons. My days off at the moment are Wednesdays and Saturdays. I can do drop ins only very early like 6am-7am. I will provide a safe, loving environment for your pet! whether at their home or mine. I will ensure their space is secure, clean, and full of fun activities that match their routine. From daily updates to personalized care, I am committed to your pet’s happiness and wellbeing!
“Ella is an incredible Pet Sitter! She is conscientious, attentive, and really, really good with animals. She was very responsive to all of my texts. My dog was recovering from surgery and she administered all medications and was careful with stairs, running, and jumping. I enjoyed my vacation because I didn’t have to worry about the care of my pet while I was gone. Thank you, Ella for a great job!”
“Katherine is extremely responsive and reliable. She also clearly loves animals and really hit things off with both my dog and my cat. She even took the dog on the extra-long walks he adores! Having Katherine take care of my animals makes me feel much more comfortable traveling!”

Kenia did a great job. Augustine loves her. He’s always so much more relaxed knowing that she’ll be there as everyone as leaving. She’s very good with bird and turtle as well. Everything was clean when we got back. Highly recommend!!! Thanks a million Kenia!!!
Habiba was great! Very friendly and took good care of my sweet boy while I was away for a long weekend. She gave him all the cuddles he wanted and kept me updated every day with pictures. She also cleaned up after herself, ran the dishwasher and took out the trash. I will definitely book with her again.
Amelia is absolutely awesome and so easy to work with. She really just gets it, and I never have to worry when my dog is in her care. She’s reliable, caring, and clearly loves what she does. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my dog is with someone I completely trust. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and wonderful dog sitter.
Kendall did another great job for us, this time staying two nights and not only taking great care of our dogs, but the house was immaculate upon our return. Great communication throughout and understood our dogs' quirky requirements. Dogs also give a 5 paw rating.
Christina was referred by a neighbor and we could not be any happier with her service. She sent us daily pictures of our baby, and in all the pictures we can tell how happy he was. He was comfortable with Christina as he has certain poses that he does when he is happy and they were all displayed in each picture. After our return he continues to look for her. Thank you Christina, we are so grateful 🙏 to have met and hired you. ❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Oak Hill is $59 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $94 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.
As of October 2026, there are 9,806 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
