Kacy was the best & well worth the $100 tip! She provided last minute services to pick up my Remi (whom she had never met) from the vet and followed detail instructions to take her to the suites. This was a very challenging decision as I am not from or live in NJ and didnt know anyone. This dog lover is the best! I will use her services again hands down! Me & Remi thank you so much Kacy!

About: Your dog isn't just a pet—they’re family. As a devoted dog owner myself, I know how hard it can be to step away. I provide attentive, reliable care tailored to your dog’s unique personality, whether they need extra patience, steady structure, or just a calm companion. Safety and peace of mind are my top priorities. I treat every home with complete respect and treat every dog with the same love, vigilance, and gentle care I give my own. You’ll get clear communication and daily updates with photos so you never have to wonder how your pup is doing. Because I have a flexible schedule with dedicated evening and weekend availability, pet care isn't something I squeeze in—it’s a central part of my day. Mornings & Daytime: I keep a predictable daily rhythm, allowing me to stick precisely to your dog’s established feeding, walking, and potbreak schedules without rushing. Evenings & Weekends: My peak availability is during evenings and weekends, making me a reliable choice for dinner feeds, bedtime routines, long weekend walks, or overnight stays when you need to be away. Dedicated Attention: Whether I’m visiting your home or providing house-sitting, your dog receives consistent, undivided care. I plan my routine around their needs to ensure they get plenty of exercise, companionship, and low-stress downtime. In My Home: Friendly Companionship: I have two friendly dogs who love new playmates and a fully fenced-in yard for safe, outdoor play. Flexible Options: If your dog needs crate time for resting or sleeping, I can easily accommodate their usual routine. In Your Home & On Walks: Home Security: I treat your home with total respect—locking up securely, keeping spaces tidy, and following all house rules. Safe Walks: I use your preferred leash/harness setup, stick to secure routes, and monitor pavement conditions to protect sensitive paw pads. Strict Safety: I follow your specific feeding and treat instructions—no unapproved foods, ever. You’ll get regular photo updates so you always know your fur baby is safe, happy, and well-cared for!

Mary was awesome. She accommodated a pretty short notice request for our first time for a drop-in. And while our dogs can be anxious around new people, she had no concerns and took them out and played with them and they had a blast. We will definitely be using her services again.

Jessica is a cat whisperer!!! She took amazing care of my two cats while I was traveling. One of my kitties is extremely shy and usually never comes out from hiding for anyone…but Jessica got her out of her hiding spot and playing! My other cat has a lot of energy and Jessica played with him a lot, too! It was so nice knowing that my cats were in good hands while I was away. Jessica is extremely responsible, reliable, and dependent. I feel like she took care of my cats as if they were her own.

About: I understand that pets are family, and I take that responsibility seriously. I have extensive experience providing in-home pet care, including administering medications, maintaining daily routines, and giving pets the love and attention they deserve while their owners are away. In addition to caring for dogs, I've also cared for gardens and chickens, making me a dependable choice for both your pets and your home. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and keep your pets happy, safe, and comfortable. As an elementary school teacher, I have a flexible schedule throughout the year and am especially available during the summer months when I am off from school. This allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, walks, and care to your pets. Whether you need daily visits, overnight care, or last-minute help, I am committed to being a dependable resource for you and your furry family members. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and specific needs to ensure they feel secure and well cared for while you're away. I maintain a calm, positive environment, follow all care instructions carefully, and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind. Whether it's a walk, overnight stay, or drop-in visit, I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own.

About: I have worked at a doggy daycare since September now. I have had pets my entire life. I currently have a mixed dog and I’ve had a chocolate lab and a Lhasa Apso in the past. I am a huge animal lover! I work part-time at a doggy daycare, boarding, and grooming facility, and I recently graduated Monmouth University and am currently at Monmouth to study to be a speech-language pathologist. I wanted to spend even more time with dogs, to help the feeling of missing my own! I am always free and will make time to give your pets all the hugs and love they deserve! I would treat your dog the same I would treat my own. I would love and care for your dog because I would want someone to do the same for mine.

I had the pleasure of having Tania watch my dog and cat over the weekend, and i couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment I met her it was clear that our pets were in good hands. Tania was incredibly punctual, and, most importantly, showed genuine affection and care for both of my furry family members. Throughout the weekend, I received regular updates and adorable photos, which reassured us that my pets were happy and well-cared for. Our dog can be quite rambunctious , but he took to Tania’s calm and friendly demeanor. She took the time to understand each pet's personality and needs, ensuring they were comfortable and content. When I returned home, my dog and cat were relaxed, well-exercised, and clearly had a wonderful time. It's evident that Tania is passionate about animals and takes her job seriously. I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional care provided and would highly recommend Tania to anyone in need of a reliable and loving pet sitter. We look forward to booking her again in the future! Thank you, for taking such excellent care of our pets!

About: I have spent years caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I genuinely love building trust with every pet I meet. Whether it’s an energetic walk, a calming drop-in visit, or simply making sure your pet feels safe while you’re away, I provide dependable, compassionate care tailored to each animal’s needs. My experience includes volunteering with Friends of Southern Ocean County Animal Shelter and Stafford Veterinary Hospital, where I worked alongside animal care professionals and gained hands-on experience with dogs of different temperaments, medical needs, and backgrounds. Those experiences taught me how to read canine body language, stay calm in stressful situations, and always put an animal’s comfort and safety first. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. I’ll treat your dog like family, keep you updated with photos and messages, and make sure they get the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve every visit. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and make your pet’s day a little brighter. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. I do my best to accept last-minute bookings whenever possible and understand that plans can change unexpectedly. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a long walk, or a drop-in visit while you’re at work or away, I’m committed to providing reliable, consistent care. My goal is to make scheduling easy and ensure your pet receives the attention and companionship they deserve. I believe pets are happiest in the comfort of their own home, where their routine stays familiar and stress is kept to a minimum. During each visit, I’ll make sure your pet has fresh food and water, plenty of exercise and playtime, bathroom breaks, and, of course, lots of attention and affection. I take the time to understand your pet’s individual personality and routine, whether they prefer a long walk, a game of fetch, or simply a quiet companion. I treat every home with the same respect I would my own and always follow your instructions carefully. My goal is to keep your pet safe, comfortable, and happy while giving you complete peace of mind. You’ll receive regular updates and photos after every visit so you always know how your furry family member is doing.

About: After 15 years with my dog, I’ve transitioned to being the go-to dog walker and sitter for my family and friends, and am excited to ! I have experience caring for dogs in every phase of life, from the energetic puppy days, to the senior days that required more attention. I understand firsthand what it takes to look after an aging dog, from mobility issues, to medication schedules, to just understanding an individual dog’s quirks. But, I’m just as comfortable with the energy and playfulness of puppies and young dogs, and I adjust my approach to fit whatever stage of life a dog is in. Working from home with limited meetings allows me to dedicate the time and care to dogs that they deserve, and I don’t mind the company myself! Whether your dog needs a walk, backyard exercise, feeding, a drop-in check, or someone to cuddle with on the couch while you’re away, I can accommodate your pet's needs! I treat every dog I meet with the love, kindness, and affection that I gave my dog, and I can’t wait to share that with more local dogs! I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to be with pets all day and go for regular bathroom breaks/walks during the day as well. I am also available on weekends! When I’m in a client’s home, I follow their instructions, my goal is to keep their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, same feeding times, walk schedule, and any medications, so there’s minimal disruption while they’re away. I also make sure to give plenty of one-on-one attention and playtime, keep the home secure and tidy, and stay alert to any changes in behavior, eating, or energy level. I’m also careful with yard safety, checking that fences and gates are secure before letting a dog out and keeping an eye on them the whole time, rather than assuming a fenced yard means no supervision is needed. I also always keep the owner updated with photos or messages during the stay

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Oakhurst on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 21,577 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Oakhurst. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Oakhurst stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

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:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 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.
