“Karin did a wonderful job caring for our two pups while we were amour off state visiting family. She was professional, attentive, and kind at the meet and greet. My dogs took to her very well. She is definitely an animal lover!! And it shows. Karin asked all of the necessary questions and planned everything ahead of the visit from playtime to walks and food. We felt very secure and confident leaving our two pups with Karin. We knew they were in good hands. We received texts and pictures throughout the visit and could rest assured that our doggies had their walk, playtime, and were fed and safe.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds for 20+ years. I am trustworthy, caring, compassionate and have a huge love for animals of all kinds! I am currently working full time, so my availability for dog walking includes evening walks Mondays-Fridays (5:30pm-onward), and weekend walks as available: mornings, afternoons, and evenings I am available to come to your home to take your dog for a walk, and/or to stop by for feedings and some extra love and attention.

About: Hi! I’m Ashlee 🐾 I’m an ER nurse who loves animals and am looking to spend some of my days off caring for your furry family members! I have experience caring for senior and special-needs pets and understand that every animal has their own routines, quirks, and needs. I recently said goodbye to my 16-year-old Shih Tzu, who was a huge part of my life, so I know firsthand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I’m especially comfortable with older pets, medications, mobility issues, and pets who need a little extra patience and attention. As a nurse, I’m responsible, attentive, and comfortable staying calm when something unexpected happens. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. ❤️ I’d love the opportunity to get to know your pets and help give you peace of mind while you’re away! I am currently finishing up nursing school and only have to be at the hospital twice a week! That schedule varies but I have plenty of time the rest of the week to take care of your pups :) I have experience with dogs of all breeds and sizes. I don’t discriminate dogs and love a small cuddle pup or a big dog that needs lots of exercise and stimulation! My services do not include coming to my house since I don’t have a fenced in yard but I have been trusted to house sit and pet sit for many friends and extended family since I was in high school. Trust, respect & safety is my number one priority for your home and your pup! I also watch two dogs, a bunny and chickens with special needs regularly.

About: I have extensive hands-on experience working with dogs of all ages, personalities, and behavioral needs. I studied canine psychology and behavior under certified behaviorists and professional certified trainers in Portland, Maine, with a focus on understanding canine communication, behavior, enrichment, and positive-reinforcement training. I previously owned and operated a pet care business in Portland, Maine, specializing in canine enrichment, individualized socialization, and overnight pet sitting. Much of my work focused on dogs who were not a good fit for traditional boarding facilities or standard pet-sitting environments, including dogs with higher energy levels, behavioral challenges, or unique individual needs. My approach is centered on creating a safe, structured, and comfortable environment while taking the time to understand each dog's individual personality and needs. I believe dogs thrive when their physical, mental, and emotional needs are properly met. It is my full-time job, so my weekly schedule revolves around pet care! I greatly look forward to adding your pet into my regular routine! I care for each pet based on their individual personality, routine, and needs. I take time to understand their normal habits, energy level, comfort level, and any behavioral or medical considerations so they can feel safe and comfortable in my care. I follow the owner's instructions closely and keep their normal routines as consistent as possible. I also prioritize clear communication with owners providing updates so they know how their pet is doing.

“Samantha was amazing. This was our first time using her and she was great. My boy is being and in need of insulin. He has anxiety when I'm not with him and could be a handful. Samantha didn't give up on him and tried different ways to make him comfortable with taking his shots from her. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing he was in great hands. We will definitely be using her again.”

About: Since I was 10 years old, I’ve always had a dog in my life. I love animals so much and I offer nothing but affection and care. I love cuddling with them too if they’re open to it. I’m in sales so I do work from home a lot. When I leave my house, it’s for a maximum of four hours. If you have a dog that is shy, I have a separate room for him/her. I have a 10 pound Shih Tzu living in our home. I adore him and he’s very friendly but if your dog does not like other dogs, it’s not a problem to keep them separate. I usually keep my dog on the main floor of the townhome. He has full access to the whole floor. If your dog is shy, I have a spare room on the lower level that the dog can stay in solo with a couch, dog bed, crate, and toys. I will only take 1 household at a time (2 dogs max) to ensure that your pup gets plenty of individual attention.

I have a lovely quiet neighborhood to leash walk, close to the beach and I have a super cuddly older dog to keep them company. In your home I’ll care for your pets based on your expectations.

About: Passionate, trustworthy, empathetic pet sitter with years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals. I provide loving, personalized attention so your pets feel safe, happy, and right at home whether it’s for a walk, a weekend, or an extended stay. I always have time to stop in to check up on pets, take them for walks, or just spend quality time with them. I am available for whatever the pets needs may present. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where pets feel relaxed and right at home. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and medication if needed. Animals stay in a pet friendly space with plenty of room to play, rest, and receive one-on-one attention. I make sure they’re never left alone for long and send regular updates and photos to their owners for peace of mind. My goal is to make every pet feel like part of the family while they're with me.

About: I personally know what it means to be willing to trust others with your pet (it can be a little scary at first!). I have a 12 year old Yorkie myself who is my best friend, and I would be taking the same steps to ensure she was in the best care. I am an animal-loving, compassionate health-care provider that is a local and looking to spend my spare time to help others with their fur babies. I am open to any requests you may have :) Please feel free to contact me about anything and I will try my absolute best to accommodate. Early mornings before work (before 8am), or later afternoons (any time after 6pm), and ALL-DAY on weekends I am available. Dependent on request, I may be able to accommodate on lunch as well (I work in point pleasant and can drive back on lunch) While I cannot take your pet to my home, I will be more than happy to go to your home to best suit your needs.

I just used Meghan for a 10 day trip out of town. She made it here in bad weather, when it wasn’t always convenient for her. She always goes above and beyond and loves my puppy and he loves her.! She’s a real animal lover and a total pro in every respect. Don’t hesitate to employ her. You will not regret it. I’m so very thankful that I found her . Thank you, Meghan !

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Oakhurst

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Oakhurst is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $26 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 21,662 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Oakhurst. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 Oakhurst 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!

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.

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.

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 Meet & Greet.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Oakhurst with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
