“Jessica was wonderful, she stayed with our kitty for a few days and did a great job giving him the love and affection he needed while we were away. She was extremely reliable and took all instructions to the dot. Plus she is very pleasant and we totally enjoyed meeting her and getting to know her. We are so grateful we found her, and we will definitely book her again! Thank you, Jessica!”
“Avery house and dog sat for us for almost 3 weeks, which is the longest I’ve ever been away from my dogs. I was very nervous to be leaving them behind for so long, but Avery’s professionalism and communication made it much easier than I was expecting. She sent daily updates and photos so I felt sure from the start that not only were the dogs being kept safe, but also that they were being given lots of love and affection. She followed all of our instructions for keeping up with their regular routines, and she had zero issues dealing with their sometimes naughty behavior. We came home to 2 very happy and healthy looking dogs, and our house was spotless. It was obvious she made an effort to clean thoroughly and leave all as it was before we left. So grateful we found Avery. I highly recommend trusting her with your pets!!”
“Limari was great with our dogs! They are not always easy to warm but they liked her instantly. She was very professional, following our care instructions, and provided frequent updates. We can’t wait to book with her again!”
About: (he/him) What started as regularly pet sitting an incredible pup named Disco for my friend during work travel, has grown into a passion for pet care and community. I understand that training your dog is not only beneficial for the owner, but helps keep your pup safe too. Building trust and a strong relationship with your animal is an honor and there is no other love that can compare. Your dog is not just a pet, but a part of your family and they deserve to be treated as such. Just like with human kids, I would engage and talk with your pet on walks and drop-ins because they would want you to! The more you genuinely interact with a dog, the more that dog will trust you. While I specialize in cats, I love dogs to pieces and the bigger the baby, the more hugs I can deliver! The more notice I have for visits and care, the better. Important!: I do not have a car and use public transportation. I will not transport your animal on public transit for safety reasons but am willing to walk to local parks and dog runs to exercise your animal. For emergencies I am willing to call a rideshare. If your cat is fully trained for harness/backpack trips, I am very willing to take them out! If your pup lives within a mile of a dog wash, I'm happy to bathe them for you including medicated baths. While I couldn't fully groom your baby, I can gently deshed them with my own tools if they would tolerate it. I understand that as a caregiver to animals, that person should respect that animal's boundaries. If a pup/cat wants to cuddle and play immediately, I will happily do so. If a dog is more cautious, I will do my best to earn the trust needed at that pup's own pace. I use positive reinforcement for training keeping up your own training while gently discouraging unwanted behavior. I'm patient and mindful especially for any dog/cat with disabilities. I am a quiet and low-key person which cats and shy dogs tend to appreciate but can also play and engage with high energy animals too!
“Sonia is a wonderful sitter! She stayed at our house for a week and took amazing care of our anxious dog. Sonia was patient, loving, and kept chickpea comfortable in his own routine. We had complete peace of mind while we were away and came home to a happy pup. Highly recommend!”
“Highly recommend Krista. She sent photos and updates throughout the day. She is very responsive and answered all my messages thoughtfully. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. We will for sure call her back :)”
“Hannah was great. She kept me updated, cats were happy when o returned and she left my apartment in great shape. Was wonderful knowing my fur babies were happy and my apartment was well taken care of when I was away.”
“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.”
“Mayte took excellent care of our dog and we’d love her to come back anytime. She is extremely communicative and thoughtful, and went above and beyond to leave our place very clean. Dog is in great spirits and we know she was very attentive!”
“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!!”
“Like a family friend from the very first meet. Lanaye fit in instantly. Our dog who has her quirks took to her immediately. Trustworthy, responsible, respectful and communicative, Lanaye is awesome!”

About: I have been pet/ house sitting for friends, family, and neighbors for over two years now. I do have experience with taking care of senior pets. I am available day to day unless I already have another gig booked! Both week days and weekends are good for me. (Message to confirm availability.) Before starting any gig, I always ask pet parents what they expect of me when it comes to feeding, walking, and, in general, assisting their pets, and follow any instructions given.
About: Active, reliable young professional with 20+ years of experience training & caring for dogs of all breeds & sizes, across temperament and energy levels. Having been a proud dog owner (passed 2017), I do not currently live with any pets or children at home, allowing me to provide undivided, 1on1 attention to your pooch. Our pets play a key role in our ability to live happy lives, which is why I take sincere joy in devoting my time to owners who could use a helping hand (or walking legs). Despite the obvious job perks — aka “hanging out with dogs for money” — I take my responsibilities as a pet caregiver quite seriously. How can I care for your furry friend to best suit their needs and yours? Just reach out! — please feel free to share any and all special attention requests. Skills: - Commanding attention, even around distractions - Behavioral training, continuing basics, new habits - Punctual service for walks, drop ins, and other care - Getting Active! Walks, Runs, Playtime (indoor or outdoor), dependent on your pup’s needs & preferences including: toys, on-leash, light/fast pace, inside, etc. Whether your pup is a bundle of high-energy or more of a gentle spirit who takes life at their own pace, I will get them the exercise and attention they need. If you’re looking for a compassionate canine caregiver to feed, play with, or simply just spend time with your 4-legged best friend, I’m your guy! Thanks for reading, Kia F. —ABOUT ME— I work remotely full-time and regularly block time for daily exercise (early morning, noon, evening). I can be flexible for walks & drop-ins depending on your needs — if interested in recurring bookings, let’s chat more. For boarding, daycare or house sitting visits, you can expect me to be fully available during 100% of the stay. Walks and runs are my favorite part of my day! I’m available bright and early (7am/8am), around lunchtime (12pm), and once again in the early evening (2pm/3pm). *For boarding requests 4+ weeks out, please inquire directly about specific dates. Refer to my calendar, as I do my best to keep it updated 4-6 weeks in advance. Trust & safety is my #1 priority; I am home full-time during any boarding or daycare stay. I also have trusted & experienced sitters on-hand should I need to run out. Your pet’s safety & wellbeing come first, and I treat every one of my clients’ pets like members of my own family. **Ensuring the Match!** I’m a big proponent of Meet & Greets (though optional), as they’re a great way to know me and ensure total compatibility! I’ve yet to meet a dog I didn’t love; we’ll ensure your pup likes me too! :) Get to know me and you’ll quickly find that I’m truly passionate about dogs and providing the highest quality of care possible (1-1). During bookings, you can expect me to be highly communicative, adaptable, and thoughtful in meeting your needs as well as your pet’s. I hold myself to extremely high standards when it comes to your dog’s safety and happiness.
“First time we used Emily. She took care of our German Shepherd and Cat. Both were well taken care of, communication was great and Emily was very patient getting instructions and updates from us. We will hire her again.”
“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.”
“Probably the best dog sitter I’ve ever had! Both of my dogs seemed to absolutely love Sarah and her husband. She sent updates and photos every day and even taught them a new game! Never had to stress or worry about my kiddos when I was gone. I knew they were in excellent hands. Will 10000% book with her and her only! :D”

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!
Laura was a fantastic sitter for our flat-coat retriever Piper. She sent us daily photos of Piper on a walk or enjoying her play time, and was always prompt in responding to inquiries. Our favorite photo was Piper sprawled out on Laura's lap looking up at her lovingly. She left our home spotless to boot! We would welcome her back as a sitter in a heartbeat.
Lanaye took wonderful care of our senior dog! She was reliable, patient, and gentle, keeping us updated on every potty break. Whether our dog needed a diaper or a bedding change, she was completely on top of it. It especially warmed my heart to come home to a sleeping, snoring pup which speaks volumes about how comfortable our fur baby felt. It is clear that Lanaye truly loves dogs. I highly recommend her to anyone with an older pet who needs extra TLC!
As always, Mike took amazing care of our elder dog Murphy. We received daily updates with photos and could tell Murphy was content and happy hanging out with Mike. Mike left the place tidy and in good order, a warm welcome for us after a long trip. I would trust Mike with any pet, he will care for them like his own!
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!
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.

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.
<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 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!

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 .
