“Lacey watched our dog while we were gone for an overnight trip. She was great! She has a nice calm presence that our energies dog responded very well to. We returned to a happy and well cared for dog and we will definitely be using Lacey again!”
About: I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs since I was a kid. I also have been fostering cats and dogs for the past decade. I’ve taken care of animals with disabilities, seniors, and puppies / kittens :) I’m a photographer so my schedule is pretty free. Most days I am at home working on the computer, which makes it easy to spend time with your pups :) I’m a very loving pet sitter. I know basic training and will take them on really fun walks. They will also get all the cuddles!
About: Dogs and Cats have been a part of me life for decades. Very experienced with Tripod (3-legged) Dogs, Senior Dogs, Cats with Renewal Failure, and dogs with anxiety issues. Cared for tiny Chihuahuas and Pugs, muscular dogs like Pit Bulls and Cane Corsos, and big old (130lb) love bugs like Tibetan Mastiffs. I am comfortable administering medication in food, crushed up in food, in a "meatball," in a pill pocket, or even applying topical medication. Picky eaters love my food games and after a few days with me, they are excited to eat (always happy to share my tricks with pet owners who are interested) I work remotely and have been providing in home pet care for the past 2 years. Always happy to have a cat cuddle up with me at night or to take a dog on a little weekend car adventure to a nearby walking trail where we can check out squirrels. I treat each home with care: no parties, no drugs, no drinking, no smoking. I'm also mindful to clean up after myself. A clean familiar space allows pets to feel at ease when their owners are away which allows us to connect faster. I am happy to have a pet sit on my lap, sit next to me, or just let them have as much space as they desire.
“Ari was outstanding and took great care of our three spoiled pups as well as our tortoise and fish. She sent photos every day and the entire menagerie was healthy and happy on our return.”
“Meagan stayed with my dogs for 10 days. They were quite happy and contented while I was gone. The house was clean and well tended as well. I would recommend Meagan and plan to use her again.”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life and I now have one of my very own! I grew up taking care of my family dogs as well as caring for pets of my friends and family. From professional class and my own experience I learned and succeeded in training puppies (: I have a hybrid work schedule so I am very flexible and can help with your pets potty breaks, treat breaks, walks, playtime, and cuddles (: My apartment has an enclosed dog area and I have a sweet dog of my own to keep your fur baby company and we are right by the beach for great exercise!
“Dakota is fantastic!! This is her second time watching Nash, my 11-month-old golden retriever. She’s the first person I ask now when I need someone to stay with him. You can tell she genuinely loves animals and spending time with them. I know he’s in good hands when I leave him with her! She’s friendly, communicative and reliable! She’s my go-to sitter for Nash!”
About: I have lived with many dogs and cats my whole life, in this way I have always been raised to care for animals. I have also trained a chocolate Labrador from puppy to adulthood! I know the basic methods of discipline for pets, while knowing the basic needs of care and love for them! I currently work in the film industry part time in the camera department. The rest of my work in video content creation is remote, this allows me to be flexible with my schedule and location. When at a clients home, I leave a large window of time to just spend time with the pets, whether that be petting, playing fetch, scratching bellies, or just hanging out with one another. Time with me and pets make me happy, and I believe the pets as well! Most of my hours in a day, in fact will be spent with the pet.
About: Pets have always been a special part of my life. I’ve cared for my own pets, friends’ and family members’ dogs, and the dogs and cats of families I’ve babysat for since I was 13. After 15+ years of caring for dogs and cats, I’ve learned that every pet has their own personality, routines, and little quirks — and I love getting to know what makes each one unique. As an elementary school teacher of 6 years, I bring patience, attentiveness, and a nurturing approach to everything I do. I understand the importance of creating a safe, comfortable environment where each animal feels loved and cared for. I currently offer house sitting with pets and would be honored to care for your dog or cat like they’re part of my own family while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals and creating a safe, comfortable experience where they feel happy and cared for. I am available outside the hours of 7:00 AM–3:00 PM, with availability for early morning check-ins, afternoon visits, and evening care after 3:30 PM. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, house sitting, and dog or cat sitting, with weekend availability when scheduled in advance. I understand how important routine, attention, and consistency are for pets, and I’ll treat yours with the same care, patience, and respect I would give my own. I care for pets in their own homes so they can stay comfortable and keep their normal routines while you’re away. I will carefully follow your instructions, respect your space, and provide the same patience and attention I would want for my own pets. During visits and house sitting, I focus on companionship, playtime, and helping your pet feel safe and cared for. For walks, I’ll follow your dog’s usual routine and take them on routes you approve of, where they feel comfortable. I’m happy to provide updates at whatever frequency works best for you, so you can feel confident knowing your pet is receiving thoughtful, dependable care.
About: I provide dependable, attentive care for both dogs and cats, with a focus on making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. 🐾 I have experience with dog walking, playtime, feeding, bathing, and general care, as well as cat feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and plenty of cuddles when welcomed. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to follow your instructions closely and care for them the way you would. Whether your pet needs energetic playtime, a relaxing walk, quiet companionship, or a professional biscuit-making audience, they’ll receive patient, reliable, and loving care. 🐶🐱💕 I take scheduling and your pet’s routine seriously, and I always do my best to provide dependable, consistent care. 🐾 I work part-time most weekday mornings, but I’m available Tuesday and Thursday mornings and have flexible availability throughout the rest of the week. I’m also very flexible on weekends and holidays. For boarding, I’m happy to coordinate dates and times in advance so everything is clear and organized. You can count on me to communicate openly, arrive as scheduled, and make your pet’s care a priority. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I make sure pets have access to fresh water, are fed properly and on schedule, and are kept in a clean, comfortable environment. I also have experience with crate training and understand the importance of using crates safely and positively. I closely follow each pet parent’s instructions and routines so your furry family member feels secure, cared for, and at home while they’re with me.
About: I grew up taking care of animals. I currently have one Russian Tortoise, one pug, and two chihuahuas. One is diabetic so I have experience with giving insulin injections and monitoring pet health. I have house sat and pet sat for years. I also worked at the Fresno Chaffee Zoo for one year and worked with animals and conservation. I am currently a student and have plenty of availability. I have class Monday and Tuesday from 3-7 pm, and Thursday from 4-5pm, but can work around it. I live in a an apartment in a safe community, with a gated yard. I have a doggy door for access to the yard. There are tons of walking paths around.
“Boone was actually depressed and looking for Taressa after we came home. He must’ve really loved her being there with him. She is a very sweet and caring woman. I would definitely love for her to sit with our Boone anytime.”
“We had an absolutely incredible experience with Sage, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. This was our first time using Rover, and we were honestly a bit nervous going in. Our cat, Lily, is very old and can be a little grouchy and skittish around new people, which added to our concern. From the very beginning, Sage put all of those worries at ease. To our amazement, Lily warmed up to her very quickly, something we’ve rarely seen. Her professionalism and communication were outstanding. She kept us consistently updated (daily photos and FaceTime on request), which made being away so much easier, and it was clear in every message how much she genuinely cared. Sage has an intuitive understanding of cats that’s hard to put into words… she truly is a cat whisperer. On top of that, Sage took wonderful care of our home while housesitting for over a week. We didn’t know what to expect having someone stay in our house for that long, but she was incredibly respectful and left everything in perfect condition. It felt like our home was in thoughtful, capable hands the entire time. Sage didn’t just meet our expectations, she blew them away. We would trust her again without hesitation.”
“Yvonne was great with our kitties, one of whom has Chronic Kidney Disease and needs a lot of care. She sent a bunch of photos and was super responsive to my many texts. I worry a lot and she allayed my fears.”
“Flor is amazing. She kept me updated on my girl, and took such good care of her. My dog is very anxious but Flor made her feel comfortable. Definitely will be booking with Flor again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Oak View
Lacey watched our dog at our house while we were gone for a long weekend and was excellent. Our dog had a great time and we felt great knowing that Lacey was taking great care of her, taking her on long walks and giving her lots of love. Lacey is great with dogs and has a calm presence that helps keep our dog mellow. This is our second time having Lacey dog sit and we’ll definitely do it again!
We’ve used Sidney several times now and she continues to be excellent! She takes our dog on hikes and long walks and even takes her swimming. Sidney communicates frequently giving us updates and is great and handling any issues that come up. Our dog loves hanging out with her and we know our dog is having a great time while we are gone. Definitely would recommend!

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 View 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 View 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 View 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 .
