“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!”

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.
“Jasmine was fantastic! My dog had a great time and was relaxed and happy when I got back from my trip. My dog is reactive to dogs and bikes, and Jasmine dealt with that perfectly. Absolutely wonderful!”

“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!”

“Leanna did a great job taking care of Bobcat. It's so great to be able to leave town knowing your pet and your house are in good hands! Leanna and Julio are very conscientious people who go above and beyond with their care and attention. They are very easy to communicate with and are both very experienced taking care of pets and property. I am grateful to have found them!”


About: Dog lover with loads of experience and would love to meet your furry family members and treat them like royalty while you're away! I have a lot of energy and love to provide. I've lived in a house of pets all my life, and am a huge animal lover, and have been pet sitting since I was a little kid. My schedule is really open and flexible because I work from home, so I have a ton of availability to come to your place or host your pet at mine. I live in a house with animal lovers with a fully enclosed outdoor space, in a great calm residential area close to Lincoln Park in the Lincoln Heights neighborhood. Why I love dog sitting I have always been a dog lover since watching Benji over and over again as a child. I grew up with many pets and dogs and started watching them for friends and neighborhoods as a kid. My experience administering medication It depends on the format, most pets can be very finicky about this, but if it were a case that it was mixed in food, I wouldn't mind. I’m currently working part time, so maximum time away would be less than a few hours. I’m home most days and evenings, and love to take pups on outings! I have a fully enclosed yard and no pets of my own so your dog can have the run of the place! They are welcome on couches!
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: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My background includes daily walks, feeding, and providing attentive companionship. I’m comfortable handling energetic puppies as well as senior pets who need extra patience and care. I focus on creating a safe, stress-free environment so pets feel secure and happy while their owners are away. I am available to care for your pets on Monday, Wednesday, Fridays, Saturday and Sunday all day. Tuesday and Thursday I am available after 5:30pm. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and secure environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. I carefully follow all care instructions, keep a close eye on behavior, and maintain a routine that matches what your pet is used to. You can trust that your pet will be treated with the same care and attention I would give my own.
“Cynthia is very kind and loving to our dog, Ruben. I am very impressed with her knowledge, qualifications, as well as her concern for the well-being of our dog. Cynthia is very prompt and also kept us updated with pictures. I have already scheduled our next appointment with her. I highly recommend Cynthia”
“Maria is better than great. She was wonderful with our cats and always kept me informed with pictures, also. I highly recommend Maria except we want to have her continue to be our catsittter so she can't get too busy!”
“Sasha was a godsend for our dog, Fenway. Our dog is very particular with his meds, allergy needs as well as being very dog reactive but Sasha treated Fenway perfectly while we were away. We got regular updates, beautiful pet pictures, and were up to date on how he was doing with their modified indoor play. Sasha is sweet, outgoing, and intuitive with dogs so we felt safe with her immediately. Our little family will definitely hire her again as she’s one of our best dog sitters to date.”
“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.”

About: Had puppies!!! Now they are big lol. Experienced with the puppy life and love them. Willing to be adaptable to any dog! Want to give them the best and safest experience. Working part time! Would love to spend more time with animals. Will always put the animals needs first and make them my top priority always! Safe environment for pets with a big backyard to run around in and a dog park near by. Love going on walks or just cuddling and watching tv.
About: Nothing matters more than the complete care of your furry friend. From booking to reviews, I promise to give my utmost attention to make sure your dear one is attended to. I am an independent contractor also working part time on commission, so my schedule is flexible enough to accommodate per care. This means plenty of time to commit to the care of your pet I pay very close attention to the pet’s comfort. If they are anxious, I will try everything possible go soothe them—from endless games of catch, to brushing, to sitting with them while they fall asleep.
About: My name is Julie and my partner, Scotty and I (pictured above) have over 25 years of experience walking, sitting and caring for all animals, as well as luxury homes. We absolutely love all animals and enjoy spending every minute with them! We work with a variety of animals: dogs, cats, chickens, birds, horses, mules, ponies, reptiles (chameleons, lizards, snakes, turtles, tortoises, frogs all kinds), fish, rabbits, rodents (hamsters, guinea pigs, rats, mice) and exotic animals such as ferrets. We care for elderly pets, and have experience providing daily medication/injections. We can help to maintain the routine and love they are used to, so they will not feel alone while you are away. When booking with us, you will get two pet sitters for the price of one. Since one of us works remote, there is always someone to take care of your pets while you are gone. We do accept last minute requests and will make it happen if we can. Our home provides a safe, warm, welcoming environment for pet guests and there is a resident neutered male cattle dog mix, Snacks, as our companion ambassador to enrich any dog-guest's stay. I have volunteered at animal shelters since I was in high school. Family and friends have relied on me since I was very young to care for their pets. I am responsible, reliable, loving, and very caring. We are available for dog walks, house sitting, boarding at our house (we have a yard and live on a giant park/dog park), drop-ins, pet transport, pet errands and vet visits (complete with detailed reports). 🥰🐶🐾 We work from home and have a flexible schedule, which is ideal for petsitting. We're very active with multiple walks and park visits throughout the day. We love to spoil our pet-guests with trips to the beach to dig/play, hikes on nearby trails and plenty of enrichment activities (puzzles, lick mats, brain toys) throughout the day. We live on a huge park/fenced dog park and have plenty of room for dogs to play (indoors and outdoors). Our house is clutter free and has ample room for indoor play complete with enrichment activities/toys! We offer morning/afternoon/evening feedings. The goal is to keep their routine similar to their home routine! We give our dogs plenty of exercise and prefer to keep them uncrated if possible (unless they prefer their crate).

Lacey watched our dog at our house while we were gone for a long weekend and was excellent.

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!
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.
