“Linda was amazing with our GSD. She kept us updated daily while we were out of town and sent lots of pictures. It made traveling easier knowing he was in good hands. I would definitely recommend her and use her in the future!”
“We contacted Casey at a very emotional time for our family as our grandson had just passed away. It was necessary to extend our trip to Ohio and our Rover sitter was already booked for the weekend. I contacted Casey and she responded immediately and came to our home the next day to meet our Betsy. We all felt very comfortable with her and she agreed to take over from Sara. Casey sent us lots of photos and a video. The transition for Betsy from one Rover sitter to another went smoothly even though our senior dog suffers from anxiety. We arrived home to clean sheets and towels and our home was very tidy. We will use Casey again for sure.”
About: I've taken care of dogs & cats since I was 5 years old. I was responsible for the care of our family pets including a pig, goat & chickens. Friends and family have asked me to help with their pets when out of town, etc. I am comfortable administering oral medication to dogs & cats. I'm retired, so will have lots of availability to love and care for your pets. I am available day and night. If there are any conflicts I will do my best to work with your schedule. I will care for your pets like they are my own. I will be very careful coming in and out of an owner's home and follow any guidelines given.
“Katherine was absolutely amazing with not only my pets but also their overly worried owner! Both my pets and my house were very well taken care of during my vacation. Will definitely request her services next time I head out of town. You’re seriously the best Katherine!”
“I physically can’t say enough about how INCREDIBLE of a job Jennifer did with our pup. She was soooo easy to get ahold of and always in communication with us. She’s the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. Our girl, Cactus, absolutely loved her, and we will absolutely be repeat clients. She even bought our little girl a toy, and trimmed her nails. Absolutely incredible in every way. If you’re looking for a sitter/boarding/Walker/anything, don’t hesitate. ?”
“Pups seemed quite happy with Lydia and she was wonderful providing initial meet & greet and then being extremely punctual arriving at the crack of dawn so we could get an early start and staying until we returned the following evening. She sent photos through our absence so we felt assured that all was well & even let these spoiled pups sleep with her!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 11 years old, caring for pets of all kinds for neighbors, friends, and family. Over the years, I’ve done everything from walking, feeding, bathing, and playtime to staying with pets for weeks at a time while their families are away. I’m a huge animal lover (I always joke that I love dogs more than people 😂), and I have two of my own babies! I know how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your pets, and I’ll always make sure they feel safe, loved, entertained, and cared for just like they’re my own. I’m a full-time hairstylist with the flexibility to create my own schedule, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my daily routine! I’m consistently available in the mornings and evenings for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins, and I can schedule breaks throughout my workday when needed. I’m also available for overnight stays, so your pets can have plenty of company and care while you’re away! I provide care in my clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment and routine. I’ll follow your instructions closely when it comes to feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, playtime, and any special routines your pet may have. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, love, and company while you’re away, and I’m always happy to send pictures and updates for a little extra peace of mind! I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own.
About: I have experience caring for older dogs with medical needs. I have a lot of time currently and will be dedicated to giving them all the care, playing, cleaning, and attention they need. My only solid time commitments currently is needed for the family on Saturday mornings. I can easily talk on longer jobs as long as I have a few days notice. I try to leave the house as I found it when sitting in the clients house. I try to replicate their experience with their families in terms of how much they get out, where they go for dog parks, when they eat, etc
About: I am a dog loving patient person who enjoys long walks. I have volunteered with the SPCA and have been around teacup Chihuahuas to big and active dogs such as Shepherds, Great Danes, and high energy Greyhounds and Catahoulas. I have owned and taken care of several big dogs most of my life to include: a Shepherd, Black Labs, a couple Dachshunds and a full-blooded Catahoula; so I understand the rigours of the exercise that they need. I am available almost anytime, except for the hours of church. Give me a shout and if you would prefer to meet me before entrusting your faithful companion or baby to my care, I would be happy to meet up with you and rover to see how we click.
“Kari was amazing. She loved my dogs, sent photos, walked the GSD, accepted packages, and mowed the yard. I could not have asked for anyone better, and I’ll book her for my next trip. Communication was great, and I have no hesitation about using her again.”
“Mikayla was great with my two pups. At the meet and greet, she asked great questions that I hadn’t even considered. She communicated great while I was away and I had two happy girls (and a house that was the same as I left it) when I returned. One of them even went looking for her when I got home, so I think I’ve been replaced. Will absolutely have her over again!”
“We are thrilled to have found Kelly! Our dogs are family to us, and one has serious medical issues, so we are PICKY about who we leave them with. With Kelly staying at our house, we didn't worry about our dogs for a second. She's always quick to respond and keeps us updated on everything. She clearly understands dogs and enjoys them -- and they really seem to like her! We came home to a very clean house and happy, comfortable dogs. Any future travel will be scheduled based on when Kelly is available!”

“Jen was AMAZING. She watched my dog and two cats for 10 days and I don’t have a single complaint. She was very communicative, the house was clean when we returned, and my pets loved her. Jen’s love of animals is pure and you could see it during the meet & greet. I will recommend Jen to anyone in the area in need of a sitter (except on days that I need her!!!). I could not ask for a better house sitter and will definitely be booking again in the future.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Oak Trail Shores
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Oak Trail Shores on Rover is $40.29 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 476 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Oak Trail Shores. 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 Trail Shores 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 Trail Shores 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 Trail Shores 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.

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.
