“Betty was wonderful! She kept our pets happy and well cared for, left the house exactly as we left it, and sent daily updates with photos. She followed all instructions for both our home and our pets, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We will absolutely book her again for future trips.”
“Bailey watched our dogs for a long weekend after a meet and greet a week or so before hand. When we returned the house was clean and in great shape. The dogs appeared to be happy and well taken care of!”
“If I could give Robin 10 stars I would. Robin took such good care of my dog, followed all of my instructions, and went above and beyond to make him comfortable and happy. I cannot express enough how much I appreciate her efforts, her professionalism, and her genuine, caring nature. I highly recommend Robin.”
“Sophia was professional and kind. She paid close attention to our sweet, medically complex senior gal. We felt confident that Sophia would take good care of Lillie, and are looking forward to continuing to work with Sophia again soon!”
“Jay is THE best. He took such great care of our three cats while we were traveling for two weeks. He even got our shy cat to warm up to him (so rare!). Jay was stellar at communicating with us and helping care for our medically complex cat. He administered medicine each day, fed all three cats, maintained their litter box & water fountains, played with them, and also helped manage things that came up around the house (bringing in packages, garbage cans, etc). I highly recommend having Jay help with your pets! We’ll be booking him again soon.”
“Ash was great. She was very thorough about getting to know our pets routines and their boundaries which is amazing! Our anxious/reactive dog was happy to cuddle up with her and she did a good job at administering all of our pets medication. She clearly cares about animals a lot and has a very gentle and calm attitude with pets. Our cat that hates and gets aggressive with everyone but us seemed to hit it off with her which is awesome! I would definitely recommend Ash!”
“Makenzie was amazing! She took care of our two huskies and our cat for a week. She kept us updated and responded fast! We can back to a clean home and well taken care of pets! She went above and beyond and we really appreciate it! Great peace of mind!”
About: I worked with doggies day care for about 2 years in college. Staying at clients houses watching their pets. It was awesome I learned great training skills and was able to walk tons of dogs! I was also a preschool teacher at this time as well and cpr certified. I’m an early riser I’m up around 6:30-7:00 and I take my border collie on her 2 mile walk. Every morning. I’m a master esthetician starting a business right now so any free time I’m at the spa with my own clients. I like late nights as well, but I’m very active so if you need a dog walker or someone to wear your high energy pup out I’m your girl! At my house I have a full fenced yard. However there is 4 large dogs here. A full house no doubt. I’d love to do at home visits or boarding at clients house not my own.

I have 2 Pomeranians, Hazel & Jasmine and a cat, Maple, who live with my mom currently and I visit frequently. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to check in with, feed, play, and stay over night with their pets. I have experience with watching puppies, 3+ dogs together, as well as cats and dogs living in the same home. I work in a pediatric dental office 3 days a week, and work at my local yoga studio so I can spend time with your fur babies on my days off. I’m available for walks or check-ins on Wednesdays, and Fridays, and house sitting on the weekends from Thursday night to Sunday. My availability currently is: •Wednesday mornings before 11am. Afternoons between 12:30-6pm. •Thursday evenings after 6pm. •Friday mornings before 1:30pm. Late afternoon/evenings after 3:30pm. •Saturdays and Sundays any time! I’m happy to work with pets of all shapes, sizes and demeanors. I appreciate any information about your pet’s special needs and behaviors ahead of time. I will make sure your pet’s schedule is followed closely while you’re away. My priority is that they feel safe and at ease with me.
“Veronica was so pleasant and caring. Took excellent care of our lab as well as kept our house clean during our two weeks abroad. Even ran the washing machine as well as the dishwasher prior to us coming home. Our lab was super happy. Would trust her in the future if/when we need her again.”
“Michelle was great! She watched our dog and cat while we were away for the weekend. She was super responsive and prompt and sent a ton of pictures. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Lauren was the absolute best! I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was responsible, attentive, respectful, and so patient with our dogs. She sent regular updates with pictures. She also wheeled out our garbage bins on garbage day. We came home to a clean house and happy dogs. I will use Lauren again without hesitation.”
About: I’ve been a cat owner my entire life and have about 15 years of experience caring for cats, including indoor/outdoor cats. I also have roughly four years of experience walking and caring for dogs through college and after graduation. I’m attentive to each animal’s unique personality and enjoy adapting my care to what makes them most comfortable and happy. I work full-time from home, which gives me some flexibility for daytime drop-ins and walks. I’m available for house sitting and pet care around my work schedule, and I’m happy to spend time with your pets while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I’m comfortable caring for pets in their own home and will follow their usual routines to help them feel safe and comfortable. I’m attentive to their individual personalities and needs, and I’ll treat your home and pets with care and respect.
About: I’ve taken care of my own and others pet companions for years, I know just how much care and attention matters, big and small alike! Animals are very important to me, I’ve volunteered at the humane society helping take care of basic needs such as food and water, grooming, social connection, and cleanly living! I’m excited to connect with your loved companions. Currently I am in school at Salt Lake Community College, this being said Monday mornings and Wednesday morning I am not available. Other than that a schedule and plan can be discussed. Every pet is different! Having clear instruction on how to care for your pet specifically is always helpful. What they like, don’t like and everything in between!
About: I have owned and cared for pets my entire life! My current family consists of two cats, a dog, fish, and even an axolotl! I have cared for the pets of my friends and families for years and I am looking to expand my resume outside of my immediate circle. I work part time and I’m available all day/night on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. I work Tuesday-Friday and am available before and after work on those days. I will work with you to ensure everything is done correctly with your pet! I am flexible and open to any routines your pet has.
“Emily was absolutely wonderful! She stayed in our home with Enzo for 11 nights, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Leaving Enzo is incredibly hard for us—he’s our baby—and Emily went above and beyond to put our minds at ease. She sent photos and short videos throughout each day, including meals, walks, enrichment, and goodnights, and always kept us informed or asked questions when needed. It was clear from her updates—and their very sweet goodbye when we got home—that Enzo genuinely loved her. She was also incredibly respectful of our home. We left a clean house and came home to one, which was so appreciated after a long trip. Emily is sweet, funny, communicative, responsible, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. I felt like both Enzo and our home were in wonderful hands. 10/10—we would absolutely trust Emily with Enzo again and highly recommend her!”

Sarah was an absolute dream to work with — highly communicative during the entire process, which made figuring things out easy. She came over to meet our dog before we left and was so sweet and pleasant and competent. While we were gone, she sent pictures every day and followed up with details about how he was doing. She paid attention to details and I could tell our dog was so well-cared for. Had the best experience with Sarah! Will absolutely be booking with her again!
Kirsten was great and provided updates throughout the week. I could tell that Julian was well cared for and receiving a lot of love/attention. She also went above and beyond by collecting my mail/packages and even washing the sheets before she left. Very thankful for Kirsten!!
Penny did a wonderful job caring for our dogs and our home! She was reliable, attentive, and treated our pets like they were her own. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in great hands while we were away. We came home to happy, well cared for dogs and a spotless house. We would absolutely trust Penny again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter! Thanks for everything Penny
Seth was amazing to work with! He went out of his way to meet our dogs before we had to leave and took time for them to get comfortable with him. He was very interactive and communicative while we were away, and knowing they were being well taken care was a relief! We will definitely reach out to him again!
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! He took care of our 4-month-old puppy for two weeks, and anyone who has had a puppy that age knows they can be A LOT of work! 😅 He was incredibly attentive, patient, and caring with her, and went above and beyond just watching her. He actually helped reinforce training and worked with her on good behaviors, which we really appreciated. It was so reassuring knowing she was in such capable hands while we were away. He kept us updated, took great care of her, and clearly put a lot of time and effort into making sure she was happy, safe, and well cared for. We came home to a happy puppy who had clearly been loved and well looked after. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely great with dogs. We’ll definitely be booking with him again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Oakdale is $47 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $74 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 2,786 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 , 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.
