“Maya was amazing! She did a house sitting for me over the Memorial Day weekend to watch my dog Riley and did an awesome job. Riley is a big boy at 80lbs, but she had no issues with his walks or daily routine. Maya was friendly, responsive with communication, kept me updated, and sent pics during her stay. She kept great care of Riley and when I got home, it was like I had not even been gone. I highly recommend Maya to anyone needing care for their pets. She is great and I will use her again.”
“Simply amazing! First time with overnight visits while on work conference out of country and Caitlyn kept us updated with lots of pics, videos and stories to relieve my stress and let me enjoy our time away better etc. You can easily see how she genuinely cares for your pets as if they were her own. We live Caitlyn and have already booked her 2 more times! And by photos can see how our dog, Oakley, loved and cuddled with her lol.”
“Jaydin was absolutely amazing, and I truly cannot recommend her enough. From the very beginning, she was kind, friendly, and made us feel completely at ease. Most importantly, my dogs loved her, and that says a lot because they are not always the easiest with new people. She was incredibly attentive, kept me updated, and followed all of our instructions and house routines perfectly, which meant so much to me. Knowing my babies were comfortable, safe, and well cared for while I was away gave me real peace of mind. I would trust her again in a heartbeat to stay in my home and care for my dogs. There honestly aren’t enough words to express how grateful I am. Thank you for everything, Jaydin!”
“Megan was absolutely awesome! My sister and I have labs, which are obviously high maintenance dogs, so we were hesitant in using rover, but MAN are we glad we met Megan! She tended to their every need & loved on them extra for us. She sent daily photos and updates and even did some cleaning up around our house (amazing right?!). I felt so safe and secure with leaving the dogs with her and will absolutely being going back to her when we both have to leave town again. Thanks for being the best, Megan!”
“Georgia was fantastic! She was available on short notice and took amazing care of our dog, Milo. Our dog is an anxious rescue, but she is a dog whisperer and immediately put our boy at ease and he was even wanting to sleep with her night one and showing his belly which he doesn’t do unless he’s 100% comfortable. I apologized for running low on his supplies and for him being a little stinky since his bath was delayed and she didn’t even hesitate to offer to go grab what he needed and even offered to bathe him. On top of taking great care of him, she took care of us anxious dog parents and communicated every step of the way and gave lots of updates and pictures. I couldn’t recommend her enough. Will definitely be using her in the future.”
About: I am a very genuine and caring person . I love all type of animals and i am a mom to two fur babies myself. Your pet will be cared for in a safe environment. I currently work from home so your pet will be looked after full time. I am able to keep a close eye on them as well as taking them for walks every 2-4 hours providing them with proper nutrition, fresh water, regular exercise, a safe environment, necessary medications, hygiene practices, and mental stimulation, while also adhering to their specific needs and routine, including taking them to the bathroom as needed
“Darren is a thoughtful care giver for my fur babies. After months of not walking them, he got them back into a routine to help myself and my dogs on the road to wellness. Our home was cared for and has been super attentive to our needs. All instructions were followed and felt confident about Darren's care while we were on holiday. I highly recommend his services!”
About: I haven’t had much experience with pet sitting but I love animals of all kinds and sizes and I enjoy being around them and getting to just relax with them. Animals have helped with my anxiety a lot I have two emotional support animals in my life so being around animals is the perfect job for me I’d love to have the opportunity and ability to dog sit and take care of your dogs I’m hoping to expand my horizon past just babysitting and would really appreciate anyone that is willing to take a chance on me and help me expand my horizons. I’m a full time college student so my hours will fluctuate but I am more than willing to work around everything as best as I can
“You know when you return from your trip and your dog is not interested in welcoming you home that she had a FABULOUS time whilst you were away! We received regular text and photo updates - Our dog never stopped “smiling”. Amber is professional, really organized and just so NICE! We shall definitely have back her to house / dog sit for us!”
About: I have cared for animals most of my life, including dogs, cats, goats, rabbits and chickens. I love them all, but dogs are my favorite and I've been told I'm good with them. I have 2 dogs that I feed twice a day along with making sure they have fresh water. I also take them on walks for their health and enjoyment and I give them baths on a regular basis, along with occasional check-ups with the veterinarian. I have a large fenced yard in a safe neighborhood. I also have 2 crates at my house that guest dogs can use, one small and one large.
About: I’ve lived with dogs, cats, and ferrets since I was a teenager. As an adult, I’ve had 4 pups and 2 cats at one time, and cared for my first pup, Ezzy, until she passed at 14 years old. The remaining 3 pups are 7 & 8 years, and old and the cats are 6 and 8 years old. I will love on your pets as if they are my own. My goal is to love your pets so well that when you come home, your feelings are hurt—just a little bit—when they act like they didn’t even notice you were gone! ❤️ Currently, I am available full-time to care for your home and pets. My availability is flexible which allows me to customize a care schedule that fits your and your pets’ needs. I operate within the Rover’s terms, however, we know life happens, so I’m more than willing to offer options to accommodate changing circumstances. As stated when booking with me, I prefer at least one day’s notice for bookings. But if your need is urgent message me, and you and I can discuss your situation briefly to determine if I can help you. I would like to continue your routine with your home and pets while you’re away to minimize stress for everyone. I will care for your home and everything in it just as I would expect a professional to care for mine.
“Got it! Here’s a more natural version with your note about being repeat customers: ⸻ We’ve used Kimmie previously, and there’s a reason we keep coming back—she’s amazing. She takes such good care of our dogs, always making sure they get their medicine, playing with them, and giving them tons of love and attention. It’s clear she really cares about them, and they’re always happy and relaxed when we get home. We feel so lucky to have found her!”
“Julia stayed at my house for three days with my senior dog and puppy. My dogs loved her immediately. She is very calm with a quiet nature and I believe my dogs were very comfortable with her. Would definitely hire her again.”

“Right it was wonderful. She communicated very well. Kept me up to date on what was going on with the cats. And I have a lot of cats. She truly seemed to care and took good care of them.”
“So happy Erin was available to watch my babies! She is patient and kind . My dogs can behave like gangsters when they are around someone new. Erin won them over and they have made a new friend. I’m grateful she was here for us.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 729 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Oakalla. 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 Oakalla 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 Oakalla 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 Oakalla 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.
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.
