“I was very nervous with how the girls would do. I knew boots would be perfectly fine, he’s older. The girls took right to him. The girls were outside of their cages enjoying a mini vacay away from us. Fed, watered, outside and lots of petting. Thank you for keeping my mind at ease with the dogs.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 16 year old. It started with watching my neighbors dogs! I have lots of experience with older dogs and puppies! I also have a 95lbs yellow lab at home that’s my own :) I have a 7am-3pm job Monday-Friday, and I am able to help walk a dog in the early morning time and or an evening walk for the dog! I can even do drop-in care for cats, lizards, ferrets, etc. I take care of dogs by giving them a nice long walk, playing with their dog toys with them, fetch, etc. I think physical activity is so important for dogs! Especially giving them love and attention.

About: I’ve been around pets my whole life and genuinely love all animals. I had my first cat at age 4 and grew up with both cats and dogs. I also lived with a rescued pit bull for several years (she had a rough past and didn’t do well around other dogs), so I have some experience with anxious pups on walks. I understand how important it is to build trust and work at a pet’s pace. Whether your pet is social and playful or a bit shy and needs space, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at and give them the best care possible. Even with a full-time job in finance, I make time for what matters—and for me, that includes animals. I work a standard weekday schedule, but my evenings and weekends are all open for pet care. The flexibility of my job may allow for a late morning - early afternoon check-in. Whether its a walk, evening check-in, or weekend drop-ins, I’m happy to build a schedule that fits your pet’s needs. I also spend most of my downtime at home, so if your pets need longer visits, I can give them plenty of attention and company. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and committed to keeping your pet’s routine as normal and comforting as possible. I’ll follow your instructions closely—whether it’s feeding, medications, walking schedules, or just the way your pet likes their favorite toy tossed. I know every animal is different, and I take the time to get to know their personality and needs. If we arrange care in my home, your pet will be treated like one of my own. I have a calm, pet-friendly space and three cat companions who are used to other animals and are gentle and well-socialized. I always do a slow introduction and only bring in pets that I know will be comfortable in that environment. Safety and comfort are my top priorities, whether I’m in your home or you're trusting your pet with mine.

About: I’ve always loved dogs and truly enjoy spending time with them! I have a 4-year-old dog of my own who is friendly, playful, and gets along great with other dogs. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different personalities and love giving them plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles. When your pup is in my care, I’ll treat them like one of my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet, and I’ll do my best to give you peace of mind with regular updates and lots of love for your furry friend! 🐶❤️ I’m available most weekends and have more flexibility to spend time with your pup. Monday through Friday, I work from 6:30 AM to 3:00 PM. Before work, I always make sure my own dog gets outside for some morning exercise and attention. When I get home, we spend time playing and relaxing together in our fenced-in yard. Your pup will be welcomed into our routine and given plenty of love, attention, and playtime! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play and get some exercise, and I’ll always supervise outdoor time. I have a friendly 4-year-old dog who gets along great with other dogs and can provide a companion for your pup. I’ll make sure every dog in my care feels comfortable, secure, and treated like part of the family. I’m also happy to follow your dog’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and any special instructions.

About: As a former professional zookeeper, I know what it takes to provide the highest standard of care for exotic and domestic animals. I am an experienced pet sitter who has worked with various kinds of pets since childhood. I have experience with dogs both large and small, cats, rodents, insects, and more, all of which span different age groups and possess different medical needs. While I work full-time, I am very willing to work with you and your schedule to figure out how I can meet you and your pets' needs. I treat every pet under my care the same as I would treat my own and cater to each of their unique personalities and needs.

About: Your dogs will leave happier than they came in! I will take them out side to play with our millions and millions of toys (that’s what it seems like at least) we can go on walks down the street. I will make sure the other dogs play nice. There is always fresh water available for the lil guys. I have grown up with dogs and love spending time with dogs and I’m excited to play with yours!! My favorite breeds are golden retrievers, labs, beagles and huskies! All of your dogs will go home feeling younger because I call every dog a puppy no matter how old they may be. They are all cute to me and good boys may get some treats. I can’t wait to meet your puppies! My work hours are fairly flexible but I am often working in the mornings. I am typically able to do drop ins in the afternoons and evenings! I am not a smoking household. Unsure why my profile states that but I’m unable to remove it. I will keep your dogs company while you are unable to. I will take them for walks and toss the ball to play fetch. I will follow your directions on tips to keep them safe in your home and outside! I also enjoy hanging out with your cats if they come out to say hello

About: I’ve had pets my whole life (cats and dogs). Currently, my family has 2 dogs and 3 cats. Living away from home for college is difficult without my pets, so I would love to tend to yours as I am missing mine! I’m working part-time while taking classes but always have time for a furry friend (the care goes both ways in my opinion! It’s a win-win). I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life and have always cared for them. I ensure a mess free environment and love giving the pets lots of love!

“Annie was the absolute BEST! I was very nervous about leaving my somewhat anxious, energetic, and newly adopted black lab when I went on vacation for a week, and Annie was so reassuring. She gave her lots of attention, took her on lots of walks, and sent me so many pictures and updates so that I could relax. I can't imagine leaving my dog and house in better hands!”

About: I have taken care of both cats and dogs my whole life of all different breeds, tempers, ages, and energy levels. I have also taken care of fish, horses, turtles and hamsters so I am a true lover of all animals. I am currently working part-time and am a student so i have lots of gaps and free time to take care of pets from being around them frequently so as not to be left alone as well as an active routine so would include dogs in my daily walks and take the time to play with them as well as cats indoors. As an experienced owner of energetic dogs large and small, small pets (hamsters, fish, guinea pigs) and cats of all temperaments (kitten to senior) I am well versed in the necessary activities a pet needs to thrive. Not only is company, food, and bathroom breaks required but also lots of stimulation, play, long walks, and exercise so your pet can flourish.

About: I have worked with animals all my life from having them growing up to caring for them for other people. I am willing to accommodate any situation! I am currently working part time hours at my job but I have lots of availability and can accommodate pretty much anything! I’d love to get to know your fur babies! My mom and I have a fenced in backyard and a very nice neighborhood for walking if you plan on having your pets stay with me. We are occasionally doing this together since I work part time already she is also very pet friendly. I am very vigilant on making sure they get there play time in and walks.

Meaghan was absolutely wonderful, and we can’t recommend her highly enough! She was incredibly communicative, thoughtful, and transparent throughout our trip, always keeping us updated with messages and photos. We felt completely at ease knowing our pups were in her care. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and treated our dogs like her own. We would happily book with Meaghan again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!

FAQs for House Sitting - Oak Orchard

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Oak Orchard is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $56 and $56 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 307 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Oak Orchard. 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 Orchard 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 Orchard 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 Orchard 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Oak Orchard. On Rover:

  • 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.
