“My dogs were friendly and playful with Ryan immediately upon meeting, which I take to be a good sign. Ryan was friendly, transparent and communicated well. I’ll happily be a returning customer.”
“Kelly was great. She was flexible and communicative. When we got back home, we could tell that Sam felt cared for and attended to in our absence which is always a relief after being away, even for a short time.”
About: My goal as your pet’s sitter is to maximize my time with them by being attentive to and anticipate your fur baby’s needs while their person is away. Growing up, I always loved animals and took care of hamsters, cats, and dogs. I am gentle and loving while allowing the animal to take the lead with contact. I always respect animals’ autonomy and will always strive to make them feel comfortable and safe. I am available to become your regular go-to sitter or a helping hand when you need one on occasion! My schedule is flexible and can accommodate your pet’s care as you need it to! Your furry family members are my top priority as you are away. I will ensure your pet sticks to their routine as you dictate it and feels comfortable despite your absence. Additionally, I will make sure to spend quality time with your pets so they don’t feel too emotionally distressed while their person is away.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for years, and one of my favorite things is getting to know each pet’s unique personality! From energetic puppies who want to play all day to older pets who just want a cozy spot and some company, I’m happy to adapt to whatever makes them most comfortable. I’ve cared for pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, and have built great relationships with owners who trust me to care for their furry family members. Many of my clients have booked with me repeatedly, and I take that trust seriously! Since I work remotely, I’m able to spend plenty of time with the pets I’m watching. I love being able to keep them company throughout the day, stick to their usual routines, and make sure they get the attention they deserve. I primarily offer house sitting and drop-in visits because I believe pets are happiest when they can stay in their own familiar environment. Whether your pet needs lots of activity, a little extra patience, or someone to curl up next to while I work, I’m happy to be their temporary best friend! And of course, you can expect plenty of pictures and updates while you’re away! I work remotely full-time, which makes pet sitting a great fit for my everyday routine! As long as I have Wi-Fi and a place to set up my laptop, I can work from just about anywhere, including your home. This means I can spend much of the day keeping your pets company rather than leaving them alone for long stretches. I’m available for overnight house sitting, drop-in visits, and care throughout the week, including weekends. I can easily work potty breaks, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention into my workday. I also have flexibility for last-minute requests and pets who need a little extra attention throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a full-time couch companion or just someone to stop by and check in, I’m happy to work around their routine! I believe pets are most comfortable in their own homes, surrounded by familiar sights, smells, and routines. That’s why I focus on house sitting and drop-in visits, allowing your pets to stay in the environment where they feel safest. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and any special instructions before their stay. I’ll follow your feeding schedules, walking preferences, household rules, and any safety precautions you have in place. I’m also very mindful of respecting your home. I’ll keep things clean, make sure doors and gates are secure, and leave everything as I found it. Communication is a big priority for me! I’ll send regular pictures and updates so you know how your pets are doing. I’ve had many repeat clients over the years, and I know how important it is to have someone you genuinely trust caring for your pets and your home. My goal is for you to come home to happy, relaxed pets and everything just as you left it!
“Katrina took good care of Mia. She walked her and made sure her needs were meant. She was in constant communication with us on vacation. The house was clean when we came home. I will not hesitate to use Katrina again. She was fantastic 👏”
“Autumn did a great job taking of my 3 goofballs while we were on vacation for a week! She sent me updates and pictures and even offered to exercise them everyday. It was great to know they were well taken care of and happy while I was away so I could just relax and enjoy myself. I would definitely recommend her and use her services again!”
“Jennie was incredibly easy to work with and very flexible with the needs of our dogs. We have 3 dominant breed dogs who can be a handful but Jennie came to meet them with confidence and got to know them individually. She was patient and treated them with love. We would definitely use her again and recommend her to others.”
“Stacy took exceptional care of my dog and cat for 4 days while I was on vacation. She went above and beyond by taking my dog on extra walks, hikes, and spent a lot of time with her. I’m very happy with her care and would recommend Stacy to anyone that wants a very happy puppy to come home to!”
About: I am very gentle with all the doggies I care for. I show each one of them love and respect their boundaries. I love to go for walks with them and pick up after any messes they make. I happily clean their dishes and make sure they are well provided for. I’ve only had 1 dog in my lifetime that lived to 12 years old but I have had many dogs around me growing up. I love taking pics and vids of goofy things they do so I am happy to update as well throughout my time caring for them. I am currently working part time so I have a lot of flexibility when it comes to animal care. I am happy to make early morning and late night stops to accommodate for their care. I follow the rules you set! I am happy to walk, train, crate, exercise, and play with your animal in ways you prefer and know they like! At home, I only have cats so I feed twice daily (with vitamins and supplements), scoop the litter daily, and do kitty dishes daily as well. We play at night and they have full access (and kitty proofed) to my garage to play in. I am happy to accommodate their lifestyle and needs.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 11 and I love it! I’ve worked through local shelters and family friends for over 6 years. I’m currently a student and have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of time to walk, feed and sit with your pets when needed! I take my dog on a walk twice daily as well as caring for my cat! I always give them a potty break when I get there and right before I leave. I feed if requested and always give plenty attention! I am also able to crate animals easily if need be!
“Amirah exceeded all expectations as my dog sitter! Her genuine love for animals was evident in the way she cared for my furry companions. Amirah's attention to detail, timely updates, and the extra effort she put into ensuring my dogs felt at home were truly commendable. I wholeheartedly recommend Amirah to anyone in need of a trustworthy and dedicated dog sitter. She loved my dogs like they were her own.”

About: I have been taking care of pets since I was very young. I am currently working as a veterinary technician. I have a bachelors degree in veterinary technology. I have medical expertise and experience in administering medications. I thoroughly enjoy working with new pet parents and I am happy to answer any questions about pet care. My only request is to meet with pet and owner in their home before the date of the service required. I am currently not working so I will have plenty of times for your pups! My schedule may be subject to change depending on employment situation. I am currently not able to house pets in my home at this time.however I am happy to take care of your pets in their home. Whether I need to walk them or just have them run around in a fenced in backyard either isn’t an issue. If I am staying overnight I pride myself in being a good house guest and make sure the house is as clean as when you left it. I have experience with training equipment such as choke collars, and basket muzzles as well.

About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have cared for pets my whole life. Growing up with several dogs and now raising my own one-year-old corgi, Chester, has given me hands-on experience in providing consistent love, structure, and attention. I’ve also worked with a Humane Society, where I gained valuable experience caring for animals with different needs and personalities. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles, I treat every fur baby like they are my own! Pet care is already part of my everyday life since I have my own corgi, Chester. Daily walks, playtime, and lots of cuddles are built into my routine, so caring for other pets fits in naturally. I’m able to provide plenty of attention, exercise, and love throughout the day to make sure every fur baby feels safe and cared for. In my home, pets are welcomed as part of the family. They’ll enjoy daily walks, playtime, and cuddles, plus the company of my friendly corgi, Chester. I also have access to a large unfenced yard and nearby dog parks, so pups get plenty of safe exercise and social time. I make sure they feel comfortable and loved while sticking to their normal routines. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely, keeping feeding, walking, and play schedules consistent so pets feel secure and at ease.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Oakhurst
Autumn has been a Gem!! She was great coming to the Meet & Greet! Asked all the right questions! When she stayed with the babies we got pictures of the kids (dogs) & she kept us informed on how they were doing. She’s hands down the best kid (dogs) sitter we could ask for! I’m sure our babies forgot who were while she was there to love on them!

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 Oakhurst 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 Oakhurst 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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!
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.
