Katie did a great job watching our dogs last night! She was reliable, easy to communicate with, and took great care of them. We came home to happy pups and really appreciated having someone we could trust with them. We would definitely have her watch them again!

About: I've been an avid animal lover for most of my life. I've had the amazing experience of dog sitting for 4 awesome dogs and taking care of my own dog Max for 11 amazing years. I've worked with dogs old and young (4-11 years of age), big and small (12-110 pounds). Although I haven't been given a chance to petsit for cats yet, I would love to be given an opportunity. I've loved every experience I've had with these amazing pets and hope to extend the same courtesy to your furry family members. I am currently a contract worker so my schedule is pretty free Monday-Friday whatever time of day. I am also available for whatever weekends you see open in my calender. My calendar is currently updated through August of 2026. I am very meticulous when it comes to following whatever rules and regulations pet parents put in place. I make it my goal to provide the best experience for the owners piece of mind on the quality of care for their fur babies.

Makayla so obviously loves animals! Our 11 month old Lab “puppy” is crazy about her and could care less when my husband and I leave. I don’t need to worry at all while we’re away, plus we get photos and updates too. She’s intelligent, caring and personable. We will most definitely call on her again. Jan &Tex Billings

About: I've always loved taking care of animals. When I was little I had big plans of having a shelter for dogs, cats and horses. I had even planned out the cost. Two neighborhood cats took shelter in our home and garage had three litters with us, that had further sparked my young passion for pet care. Later in life I had taken care of neighbors and families pets. I also worked with and assisted a woman with a dog grooming service (and the occasional cat) which taught me a lot more about animal temperament and handling. I adore animals and would be honored to give your fuzzy friends my best care! I work part time at TJ Max I get my work schedule a week ahead and normally im scheduled for 1 to 2 days for 4 hour shifts. If I were to pet sit for you I would only need be away for 5 hours at a time if I'm shecduled (considering drive time). I am starting school this fall working toward becoming a nurse, so being able to work with animals in the meantime is a blessing. Through the week I care for my cat and my aunts dog. my kitty gets soup time nightly (wet food) and my aunts dog takes two walks a day. In my experience every animal has their own routine they need to feel comfortable, and I am happy to learn and apply it to give the best care possible!

About: I have 1 medium dog Preslie, a fully fenced yard and love to play with other animal friends. I know the pull that happens when you go away from your pet and put them into the hands of someone else. Pictures will be taken regularly, video by request of our time together. I'm more than happy to accommodate most requests to ensure that you're pet is well taken care of. I work full time but have evenings and weekends free. I am dependable and love animals of all kinds so spending my free time with them would be a pleasure. I have a fully fenced yard that they can lounge out on the turf or under the covered patio. Plenty of indoor space if they prefer to be indoors versus outdoors. Quiet neighborhood that we can go for walks around.

Leah was great with my girls, they tend to be a bit anxious whenever I go away and she gave them exactly what they needed. She worked with my travel schedule to make sure they weren’t home for long stretches by themselves. Would definitely use again!

About: Hi! My name is Felicia, and I’m 26 years old. Im a full time EMT and nursing student. My schedule varies but I am a dedicated animal lover with experience caring for a variety of pets. I have two cats and two dogs of my own, so I understand the importance of providing pets with love, attention, exercise, and proper care. I am comfortable with feeding, administering basic medications, walking dogs, cleaning litter boxes, and maintaining daily routines to keep pets happy and healthy. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a safe, caring, and stress-free environment while their owners are away. Whether your pet needs playtime, companionship, walks, or extra attention, you can count on me to provide reliable and compassionate care. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! 🐾💕 Currently, I work as a fulltime EMT. But luckily I have an amazing schedule that allows me to dog walk/sit in the morning and evenings of my work days beginning at 9am and ending at 9pm. The days that I’m off, I’m free ALL day for your animal besties. Depending on what my client is comfortable with, is how I’ll deal with the safety of the animal. Whether that is a kennel, a muzzle due to a reactive pet, using pet pads, etc., I’m more than willing to work with my client on what they feel is best.

About: I’ve always owned dogs and cats and I’ve always been an animal lover. My mom asked me what I want to be when I grow up and I said that I want to play the piano for puppies. I can’t play an instrument for the life of me, but I applied myself and went to school to become a Veterinary Assistant. And yes; I bathe my cat before applying flea meditation. Need a weekend getaway or a date night. I’m available on the week days. I am looking for a second job and with my experience this seems like a perfect fit for me. I will follow guidelines/standards set by you! Also, your animal can tell me the when, where, and for how long we should eat, sleep, play, walk, ect.

About: Growing up on the farm, there was no shortage of canines in my life starting very early. Companions, service dogs, working dogs, strays who wandered up and never left, I’ve taken care of almost every shape and size of dog! Starting with the chocolate lab I saved up for from my local rescue at 8 years old, to my most recent geriatric chihuahua, I love them all! I’m an artist with a very flexible schedule looking to fill a need in my community! I can accommodate nearly every shape and size of situation—especially holidays and last minute bookings! As someone with very high standards, I only wish to provide the services that I absolutely expect for my pets! You can always count on me to follow your instructions thoroughly and to the letter; your pet’s healthy and safety and your satisfaction as an owner is of the utmost importance to me!

About: I have grown up around pets my whole life. I have had many dogs with different personalities and preferences. One of my dogs requires special care so I am very patient and understanding! My cat is also the most spoiled guy you will ever meet so trust me I understand all the little important details that these guys and girls need! I work part time and my schedule varies. I also have weekends off. It is very flexible and can adjust days and times based on what is needed from me. I have a big fenced backyard and my own room as well. If you pet prefers to sleep in a crate we have plenty of space, but I would love to share my bed. Unless the temperature doesn’t allow my dogs personally prefer to be outside but are welcome in but can be in a separate space if needed. Everything is very flexible

FAQs for House Sitting - Oakdale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Oakdale on Rover is $99.9 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 467 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Oakdale. 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 Oakdale 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 Oakdale 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 Oakdale 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.

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

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
