“Avery took wonderful care of our sweet but complicated retriever. She easily managed his medications and tricky behavioral issues. Avery was responsible, highly communicative and attentive. Will for sure work with her again.”
“Sonia took care of our almost 100 lb. retriever, who is not easy (several surgeries for "indiscriminate eating" and food aggressive), for a week and came home to a happy, well cared for dog and a tidy house. Sonia provided photos and updates every day and was very conscientious and responsible. We will work with her again!”
“Lori was absolutely fantastic. Did a great job caring to for our Chompy. He immediately fell in love with her. We left town for a wedding and Lori kept us updated through out our time away. Will definitely book Lori again to care for Chompy!”
About: I’ve been dog-sitting for 3 years, and honestly, I just really love dogs! 🐶 I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, with most of my experience being with bigger dogs. I’ve looked after two Huskies at once, a Standard Poodle, Chihuahua, Pomeranian, and senior dogs. I grew up with a Lhasa Apso and was lucky enough to care for him myself during his senior years, so I understand how much extra patience, love, and attention older pups can need. I’m also very active and genuinely love going for walks. I average at least 10,000 steps a day, so if your dog loves a good walk, we’re probably going to be best friends! I’m very comfortable staying in other people’s homes and actually enjoy helping dogs stay in the environment they know and love. My goal is to keep your pup happy, comfortable, and on their normal routine while you’re away. I’ll give them plenty of attention, exercise, cuddles, and, of course, lots of love! I work part time remotely with lots of flexibility and can bring my laptop anywhere. I don’t not have a partner or children so I can dedicated the proper time to looking after your pet! I will ensure that gates and doors are locked. The dog is on leash whenever we leave and to avoid other dogs and people if necessary. I will stick to your wishes on how you want your pet looked after.
“Ani was amazing with Ryu! She gave me so many updates during the weekend and sent many photos. Definitely would feel comfortable having her watch my cat any time I’m out of town!”
About: I am a responsible, reliable, and caring dog lover with experience handling dogs of different sizes and breeds. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and love going on walks, making sure they get the exercise, attention, and care they need. I am punctual, patient, and attentive to each dog's personality and needs. I always prioritize their safety, happiness, and well-being. I treat every dog as if they were my own, and I would love the opportunity to care for your furry friend and make their walks fun, safe, and enjoyable! I am a freelance artist and writer, so my schedule is very flexible and it is relatively easy for me to find time for pet sitting and walks. I love long walks and a company of a nice doggie (or a kitty), so taking your pet on a stroll or keeping it company at home will be a joy to me. In addition, I am responsible and punctual.
“We highly recommend Nataly for all your dog sitting needs! She is amazing with our pup Charlie and is great at sending updates every few hours. She truly does a great job with our baby. Thank you Nataly!!”
“Jessica house sat and cared for Kaiya for a week. Jessica was an excellent house guest and as always a wonderful companion for Kaiya! We loved receiving daily updates and always feel comforted by Jessica’s knowledge and experience as a former vet tech. Thank you so much Jessica, we are so grateful for you, especially Kaiya!🐾❤️”
About: Working as a teacher and pet sitter have taught me many of the same skills: patience, communication, responsibility, and genuine care. I’ve traveled across the U.S. to pet sit for both cats and dogs, and I enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and routine. I’m attentive to owners’ instructions and take their trust seriously. Whether it’s keeping up with a feeding schedule, making sure a dog gets plenty of exercise, or giving a shy cat some extra space and patience, I do my best to make pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’m also respectful of your home and always aim to leave a place as clean—or cleaner—than I found it. Most importantly, I treat every pet as an individual and want both you and your pet to feel comfortable and confident while you’re away. I currently work as a substitute teacher, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I have plenty of time before and after work to provide attentive care, and I’m generally able to adjust my schedule around a pet’s needs. I live a calm lifestyle and enjoy spending time at home, so pets get plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I have a safe, comfortable home with a backyard where pets can get some fresh air and space to explore. I also live right next to a park with a designated pet area and plenty of greenery, which makes it easy to provide regular walks and outdoor time. I want pets in my care to feel comfortable and at home, while also following their owner’s routines, instructions, and preferences.
“Courtney was great with our doggos! She was really responsive and sent us pictures/updates to let us know how they were doing. We really appreciated her help since it was very short notice and would definitely have her sit for us again.”
“Vanessa was an amazing sitter for our two elder min pins. Her attentiveness to their care and well being was so evident and our little ones just adored her. We will definitely be choosing Vanessa through Rover for future dog and house sitting opportunities .”
“Jordynn was a wonderful sitter for Brunello. I appreciated her communicativeness and attentiveness when he wasn’t eating as he should. She let me know right away and we were able to problem solve together.”
“Amazing ..I have a very difficult crew of pets- 3 dogs and a cat. One of which is a very high maintenance boarder collie. I was worried for Namie as I know how hard it is to keep my crew happy. Namie did it all! Took them to the park every day, and followed through on every task. She took such amazing care of my pets I knew they were so happy..Namie sent photos and updates daily. We were blessed to find such an amazing pet sitter she also took great care of our house…which was also difficult - the dogs she’d like crazy - so daily shedding on dark wood floors can be a pain ..the house was spotless…the roses alive and thriving in hot weather..Namie went above and beyond in every way! We are so grateful to Namie- to be able to take a vacation and not worry about our babies and to come home to a clean house and happy pups ..absolutely recommend Namie -I’d give her 100 stars!!!”
“Hayley took such good care of our babies! She was communicative and we felt very at ease on our trip knowing our children were being loved on. She provided photos and daily updates. From the meet and greet we could tell right away that she really loved animals. We would highly recommend her for your next sit! Thank you, Hayley!!”
About: I am a very kind, patient loving woman who has always had fur babies and treat everyone's fur babies with love and compassion. Animals only want love and I will always give that to them. As of right now, I am unemployed so I am available 7 days a week. When i do normally have a job, I will still be available 3-4 days a week. I follow the clients list of do's and don't that they leave for me. I always keep in contact with the owner/owners so that they always feel at ease.
About: I’m currently a proud cat mom to a sweet orange tabby named Cheese! I also have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and ages. I previously volunteered with the Dog Adoption & Welfare Group, where I walked, bathed, fed, cleaned up after, and played with dogs regularly. I’ve cared for energetic puppies, gentle senior dogs, and large breeds, and I’m comfortable handling different temperaments. I genuinely love spending time with animals and always treat every pet like my own—with patience, attention, and lots of love. I’m a freelance graphic designer with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care. I’m available for morning and evening visits or walks, and I can easily adjust my routine to meet your pet’s needs. While I’m generally unavailable during midday hours, I make sure mornings and evenings are calm, consistent, and full of care and attention. Whether it’s breakfast cuddles or a peaceful evening check-in, your pet will have a reliable and loving companion. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the utmost respect—just like I would my own. I make sure your pet stays safe, comfortable, and calm in their familiar environment. I always follow your specific care instructions carefully, from feeding schedules to favorite toys and routines. I pay close attention to details, whether that’s making sure doors are securely closed, food is stored properly, or litter boxes and water bowls are kept clean and fresh. I believe in building trust through consistency, patience, and open communication—so you’ll always get updates and photos, and your pet will always get gentle, loving care.
About: I've been taking care and looking after dogs since I was a kid. I have an uncanny ability to find a dog's sweet spot and become best buds. With my flexible schedule, your dog (or any pet) will be properly taken care of and looked after for walks, pets, playtime, lunch/dinnertime, and even naps, even at short notice. I believe your furry friends are very good boys and girls, and I'll always remind them of that every time I see them! I'll take care of them as if they were my own with the love and attention they deserve while providing you with the updates you request and need. Looking forward to becoming your furry friend's new friend! (P.S. Please tell your dog I said hi!) My schedule is extremely flexible, maximizing the amount of time your furry friends want and need. I'm available most every day, including holidays (except Christmas), and even on short notice. I request to meet you and your pets beforehand to get to know both of you and what your expections and needs are as an owner. Whether it's housesitting, a drop-in, or a walk, I will treat your home, like your pet, as if it were my own, while respecting the rules of your home that you provide. I will also provide any updates regarding your pets upon request and as needed. Should any unforseen circumstances arise or an extra hand is needed, my girlfriend is also a very experienced pet sitter and can step in, if needed.
“Shirley was wonderful! She took great care of our three pets—our puppy Teddy, dog Olive, and cat Winston—during a 6-hour visit. She was warm and attentive, We came home to calm, happy pets. Highly recommend Shirley to anyone looking for a kind and reliable sitter!”
About: I love going out for walks with my rat terrier at the Rose Bowl, Eagle Rock Dog Park, and Old Town Pasadena. I promise your pets will be tired with plenty of walking and playing with me! I have had a golden retriever, a mini schnauzer, and now I am raising the best rat terrier. I’m on break, so I have a lot more time to take care of animals and I want to interact with them because I’m currently training to be a trainer I will make sure that If I’m in my clients home I will make sure the pets will always be in my line of sight and well fed and managed.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Oak Knoll
Brooke and Ryan did an amazing job taking care of our senior dog, Rufus, and our house while we were away for five days. They followed Rufus' routine and sent us daily updates and pictures. We were able to enjoy our trip because Rufus was in good hands. Thank you Brooke and Ryan!
Sketch had a lovely time with Laura and her husband while we were gone for 1.5 weeks! Laura watched Sketch in the past and did a great job so it was a no brainer when asking her to sit again for our furbaby. It definitely took away all the stress for us knowing we could fully trust them. They sent daily photo updates and communicated anything they had questions about, etc. We came to a very happy pup and our place was left spotless and clean! Can’t wait for Laura to watch Sketch in the future and we are glad to have found his person!
Ani was very communicative and took great care of my dog and my home while I was out of town for work. She sent photos everyday which obv made me feel very happy and relieved my dog was in good care while I was gone. When I got home, I noticed my home was actually in better shape than I left it! She arranged the pillows and blankets in a way I had not thought of, but will start doing so in the future! Thanks for the interior decorating inspo, ani :)
Chemil is amazing! Communication was super easy, Chemil was great to chat with and easily understood and took on the dogs’ daytime routine, and we really appreciated the frequent photo updates! We came home from our day trip to two very happy and well taken care of pups. I highly recommend Chemil for sitting!
Kathleen is amazing! She was great with our dog Muncy while we were traveling. She also handled an unexpected and scary electrical issue at our house very promptly and responsibly. She kept great regular communication and sent some really cute photos of our pup that made our stay away stress-free!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Oak Knoll is $68 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $43 and $98 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 November 2026, there are 14,913 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Oak Knoll. 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 Knoll 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 Knoll 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 Knoll 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Oak Knoll. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
