“I had to go to Dallas for a medical checkup, so I left my 2-month-old puppy, Jax, with Kyle. Kyle truly loves dogs, and Jax really enjoyed being with him. He kept me updated every hour by sending messages and photos of what they were doing. Even when I got delayed due to traffic, he kindly continued to take care of Jax until I arrived. Kyle is very thoughtful and genuinely cares about animals. I would definitely trust him again in the future.”

“I highly recommend Addie for house sitting and pet sitting. She did an amazing job caring for our two cats and two dogs while we were away. Addie was reliable, responsible, and communicated exceptionally well throughout her stay. She sent us pictures every day, which gave us peace of mind knowing our pets were happy and well cared for. She also followed all of our instructions carefully, and we returned to a very clean and well-maintained home. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would gladly trust Addie with our pets and home again.”
About: I have been around all kinds of animals my whole life. From dogs and rabbits to chickens and horses. I pet sit for my friends and family often. They have a range of dogs from 6 months old puppies that I will do some training with to 12 year olds that need tender love and care. I can keep up with the very high energetic dogs or just lounge around with a low energy dogs. I'm currently working part time so my work schedule is very flexible to fit around the your dogs needs. My normal weekday availability is mornings, evenings and a hour in afternoon for a lunch break. I’m available weekends also. I will follow each dogs established routines, including feeding, walks, and crating as the owner instructs with consistency and safety. I have experience with puppies, elderly, and multi dog households. I try to keep up with existing training and communicate clearly with lots of updates and photos of your pup!
“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.”
“Nate was such an incredible sitter! His attention to detail and genuine care of my two pups was beyond my expectations. I received some of my new favorite photos of my fur babies and I look forward to booking again.”
About: I used to have a senior Chihuahua and raised him since he was a puppy. I understand how a pet needs love and attention along with protection. I know what it’s like to not have time or anyone around to help out with pets, I hope to help create a safe and fun environment for your pets. 😊 I occasionally work overnights, otherwise I care for pets full time. I can provide the care needed as I am home all day. At night, my children and baysitter are home to be with one another and all the animals. There will always be someone home!:) Safety is a priority. Safety for pets and people, we have the space to care and room for comfort. There are places for pets to safely sleep if they don’t want to be around others too much. We have a fully fenced in yard as well as a safe neighborhood
“Karla housesat with Cher while I was on vacation for a week. Everything was well taken care of, she communicated with me with pictures and updates, and my house may have been cleaner when I got home. I highly recommend Karla.”
“Austin took great care of our high maintenance seniors. He hardly left them alone and took them on way more walks than we asked. He was super communicative and sent plenty of pics. He was also very respectful of our house.”
“Rose was fantastic! She genuinely wanted to know about our doggos and kitties so they felt more comfortable while we were gone. She sent so many pictures, which I love, she also played with our dogs so much! She had very prompt replies and was very thoughtful during the meet and greet!”
“Being a recent widow, moving to Oklahoma and having to travel back and forth for work. Katrina has become a very important part of my "new life". The dogs absolutely love her and sometimes I think they enjoy me leaving on a trip so Katrina can come stay for a few days. Its services and people like this that can really make a difference in your daily life. Thank you Katrina”
“Brianna helped us with our sweet girl who has gone through heartworm treatments and has to stay calm and quiet for a few weeks. I was able to work knowing that my baby would be taken care of by Brianna. She loves dogs and knows what to do for those dogs that need special attention. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my baby and her brother.”
“Amirah was great! She was very communicative and responsive, and she was very attentive to making us feel as comfortable as possible with someone else taking care of our fur babies. Our 9 month old puppy can be pretty needy, and Amirah handled everything really well!”
“Taylor was wonderful in house sitting and caring for my fur baby. She communicated daily with pictures and a variety of activities. She cleaned her dishes and laundered the towels and comforter she used. I am looking forward to booking Taylor again!”
“I reached out to Francine on Rover and she was quick to respond with her availability. She made the effort to meet my dog before we left for vacation when i told her that hes a rescue and takes sometime to open up. She was punctual, communicative and had a lot of patience with my dog. Finally on day 3, he opened up to her! She kept the house neat and clean as well. Thank you Francine for taking care of my dog. I appreciate your time and patience with him. Will definitely be rebooking! Don’t hesitate to leave your pets in her care!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Oakhurst on Rover is $42.18 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 450 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Oakhurst. 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 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.
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 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 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.
