“Mike is fantastic! He was professional and an excellent communicator—from the first message all the way through the stay. His attention to detail, skill in asking the right questions about my dog's needs, and regular updates with phots was worth every penny!”
“Mayte always takes such good care of my dog—even when my dog came down with some digestive issues while I was away, she payed close attention, sent me updates, made sure my dog stayed nurtured and hydrated, and by the time I came back she was doing well. Thank you Mayte! It’s relieving knowing Mara is in good hands.”
“Limari was fantastic! On time, communicative, and our pup is so comfortable with her, she fell asleep within minutes of Limari getting here. We received pictures and updates and it was so clear that our dog was being well taken care of and loved. Our senior dog requires extra care like medications and diaper changes, and Limari handled everything with ease. We are so grateful for Limari’s dedication and professionalism, and would highly recommend her to others!”
“Jessica stayed with our senior French Bulldog over the weekend and it couldn’t have gone better. We are so glad to have found someone who took care of our house and our pup so perfectly. Already looking at her schedule to book her again!”
“Lanaye was PERFECTION. We have 3 labs—2 of them being a bonded pair that we adopted last year. We were nervous to leave them for the first time and had a fair amount of anxiety about it. From our first meeting, Lanaye exuded confidence, kindness and patience. She followed our instructions and treated our pups with love. I cannot recommend her enough. We are so grateful to her and will call her again. She is the tops—a wonderful person through and through.”
“Hayley was amazing! So communicative and thorough in the details, and even had some helpful insight for some health stuff with our dog that we weren’t aware of! We’re very much looking forward to having her watch Willow again. ?”
About: I've cared for dogs, cats, and other animals, walked and trained my own pets, and even helped with labor - gentle, experienced, and reliable care! Active student starting community college this summer. I run daily, exercise, and have open availability all week. reliable, energetic, and ready to help your pet. I will only be doing pet walking and pop ins I can't sit at my own place because we have other dogs and there are already to many and they aren't as friendly.
About: As an only child, my dogs were my siblings. We always had 2 in our house and I was given the responsibility to care for them and our other pets at a young age. Friends and family have all requested and relied on me to care for their pets while they’re out of town on numerous occasions. I even walk my friends’ and neighbors’ dogs in my free time as I truly enjoy spending time with them! I have ample experience owning and caring for any and all things dog related. I can’t wait to meet and give your fur baby all the love and care they deserve! I’m currently a special education teacher and am at work from 7-3:30 daily. I have evenings and weekends available to spoil your pup and fulfill their every need. I have a fenced-in, private space for your dog to enjoy. I am happy to follow any and all rules you enforce in your own home, and am happy to allow your pup on my furniture. While walking your dog, they will receive all of my love and attention while encouraging polite walking behavior and safe socializing when appropriate. Keeping your pup safe, cared for, and happy is my top priority!
“Sonia was great with our dog, Fisher, who is blind and can sometimes be challenging. She communicated with us throughout the stay and even offered to contact the vet to refill Fisher’s medication for her. I can highly recommend her and look forward to working with her again.”
“Avery has stayed with our chug, Ernie, several times—she's amazing and I can't recommend her enough! She's great with Big Ern and expertly handles him and his dog reactivity while out on walks. She sends regular updates and pictures, is punctual and responsive, and is always respectful of our home and our neighbors. You never have to worry with Avery at the helm!”
“Emily was amazing! She has such great energy—easygoing, kind, and a wonderful communicator. She had so much patience with my senior rescue maltipoo and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. I could tell my pup was in caring hands. I’d definitely recommend her and will be booking with her again!”
“Namie is great! She is attentive and kind. She took excellent care of my sweet senior dog with separation anxiety and followed all my directions. Throughout her stay, Namie sent me pictures and gave me thoughtful updates. When I returned home, my dog was happy and comfortable. :) I will definitely ask her to provide house / dog sitting again!”
“Kiyomi took such good care of our two dogs while our family was on vacation that we were able to truly enjoy our vacation without worrying about anything. Our lucky dogs got more walks than they get with us on a normal basis, and she even did some light training or reinforcement of training and games with them to keep their interest up. She sent batches pf photos daily with an update of what they did that day which our kids loved since they missed the dogs so much. And our dogs looked so happy and relaxed in the photos - I could tell they were very comfortable with Kiyomi. Would definitely rebook Kiyomi the next time we are out of town.”
“This was our first time leaving our 4 dogs with a sitter and needless to say we were a bit nervous! However, after meeting Chris we knew we'd be leaving our doggies in great hands. They loved her as soon as they met her and she sent great updates and pictures while we were gone. Our house and dogs were as we left them(clean house, happy dogs) and I could not recommend her more highly! Thanks Chris for taking such great care of our little guys :)”
“So happy to have found Ruby! She took wonderful care of my home and dog, Magnus. She was a great communicator and sent daily photos. Will definitely book her again!”
“Such a great experience with Michael! We have a high energy puppy and Michael was able to handle it with ease! Super communicative with daily updates :) will absolutely hire again :)”

Lauriane is great! She took time to meet Chili and I before watching her - it was great to meet her and get to know her style of dog sitting prior to leaving Chili with her. Chili instantly liked her! She's a clear communicator, and sent lots of updates and photos of Chili, which I appreciated. Next time we need a sitter, I will be contacting Lauriane!
Vicky and Erick are AMAZING. They are both wonderful, trustworthy people who truly have a gift with animals. My two dogs are…a lot, and I had never previously left them with any pet sitters outside of family members. Vicky and Erick immediately put my mind at ease and it was a huge relief to know my dogs were in such good hands. Both times I have booked them to stay at my home and, not only did they take good care of my dogs, I returned to find that my house was cleaner than when I left! I would enthusiastically and unreservedly recommend Vicky and Erick to anyone.
Mari took care of our 13 year old corgi for 2 weeks who has arthritis and Addison’s disease. She did a wonderful job managing her medicines, bringing daisy on her daily walks and sending pics and updates every day. We would gladly have her care for our sweet girl again.
Anne seems like part of the family now and our dog Oliver thinks so, too. Anne has been so good with Oliver that he is obviously missing her, checking in the guest room to see if she is there. Anne does a wonderful job caring for our dog and keeping an eye on things at our house. I would recommend Anne without hesitation.
Zakiyyah was awesome with our 4 fur babies. They liked her a lot. Directions for their care were followed to a T. Zakiyyah was able to house sit as a last minute request this was great for our schedule. When asked if she could stay a bit later she did and we were grateful. Zakiyyah you rock and we will definitely recommend you to others and will book again when we visit again. Thank you for messaging and sending pictures as well as updates. Our fur babies will miss you.
I am beyond lucky that I found Annabelle to help with my pup! We just relocated from Seattle and have had a hard time finding someone my dog loves. My dog is a bit reactive on leash and requires oral medication twice daily. Annabelle took on the job and followed instructions beyond my expectations. My pup was so relaxed when I got back from my trip, so I know he was well taken care of and at ease while I was away! I would 100% recommend Annabelle and will be using her regularly.
We could not have asked for a better cat sitter. Mike was so communicative and sent us photos every day. We were so worried our girls would hide every day and within the first few hours he had them out and eating. Really put our minds at ease and know they were well taken care of.
Lanaye is an absolute joy! We are so happy we found her, you can tell right away that she is a warm, welcoming, and a very caring person. My husband and I had to take a last-minute family trip for 10 days, which is not something we do often, and Lanaye came thru for us with zero hesitation and less than 2 weeks notice! Our 2 big dogs can be the suspicious type, but they were immediately excited about Lanaye, which was such a HUGE peace of mind for us. Our nerves about leaving them for so long quickly melted away, and we got so many pictures and updates that we knew our girls were in the best hands and getting so much love. We cannot recommend Lanaye enough, she was an absolute life saver and we will definitely be booking with her again. THANK YOU LANAYE <3
Jess makes traveling so much easier for us because we know our boys are home, happy, and loved. They're so excited to see her that they barely notice we're leaving, and when we get home, they're like, "were you gone?" which is exactly what I want - doggos who get to continue enjoying their normal lives even when we're not here. I'm so grateful to Jess for caring for them and sending us pics of them lounging in their usual spots. We look forward to booking her again in the future and would easily recommend her services to anyone else who needs someone loving and responsible to care for their fur babies while they're gone.
We are so grateful for Hannah! We were very nervous about traveling since our 19 year old cat’s special needs had grown but Hannah did everything to keep him happy and comfortable. She followed our extensive instructions and was so patient with our boy, especially throughout the night when his dementia starts to kick in. She kept our other more timid cat happy too, and we are just so happy to have found her. Will definitely be booking again!
Kevin was absolutely amazing. I have multiple animals, and each one has their own personality, routines, and individual needs, so finding someone I genuinely trust with all of them isn't easy. Kevin was incredibly compassionate, patient, and attentive with every single one of them. I could tell he really took the time to understand each animal rather than just going through the motions of feeding and caring for them. He was also extremely respectful of my home and left everything clean and well cared for. Communication was great, he was dependable, and I felt completely comfortable knowing my animals and my home were in his hands while I was away. That peace of mind is honestly priceless when you have animals who require a little extra care and attention. It's very clear that Kevin genuinely cares about animals and takes the responsibility of caring for someone else's pets and home seriously. I came home to happy, well-cared-for animals and a home that had been treated with respect. I wouldn't hesitate to have him stay again and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and responsible house and pet sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Oak Knoll on Rover is $67.71 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 14,908 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 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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
