“Best home sitting experience I’ve ever had. Ryan went above and beyond. He was home with my fur babies basically the whole time never really left the house except to run a few errands. He also kept me updated every single day by sending me pictures and letting me know how things were going. My dogs seemed very happy and never felt lonely. 10 out of 10.”
“Casie did an amazing job with our three dogs while we were away — it was wonderful to come home to happy, well cared for pups and a clean, well cared for house! She was great about providing updates and photos and kindly offered to do anything else we needed while we were gone. Would absolutely recommend Casie, and are grateful our dogs were in such good hands!”
About: I have been pet sitting for over 5 years and have had the opportunity to care for pets from so many amazing families, many of whom continue to rebook with me. I have 4 dogs of my own, so spending time with and caring for dogs is something I truly love. I also worked at a dog wash and grooming place for a year and loved working with dogs. I treat every pet like they are part of my own family and always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I am currently a college student home for the summer and looking for fun ways to make extra money while enjoying my time off. I work part-time and love staying busy, so pet sitting is the perfect way for me to earn a little extra income while doing something I genuinely enjoy. Getting to work at a dog wash and grooming place was a good experience and I loved getting to spending time with dogs. Spending time with animals brings me so much joy, and I love giving pets the care, attention, and companionship they deserve while their owners are away. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I make sure to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any special care they may need. I spend quality time with each pet to make sure they feel safe, loved, and not lonely while their owners are away. I also keep the home clean and provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.
“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.”
“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: 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
“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.”
“Tourie kept us up to date throughout the week regarding the animals. She answered all the questions I had in a very timely manner. She was so wonderful with all our animals even our reactive dog. She also sent pictures throughout the week we were gone. Definitely will be booking with her again!”
“Addie was exceptional in every way. She asked questions, followed my instructions and constantly kept me updated on Bella. I would highly recommend her and will definitely use her again!”
“Katrina was amazing. I have been looking for someone to care for my dogs since moving to Oklahoma two years ago and she by far exceeded my expectations. She was so responsive and provided updates every day. My girls did not seem stressed when I came home like when we have had to board them. I will definitely be using Katrina again.l!”
“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!”
About: I’ve had pets in my household from a very young age and have always loved taking care of each of them. There hasn’t been a time in my life where we didn’t have pets. I currently am working 4 weekdays 8-5, but am happy to do overnight sits, do a doggy check in during my lunch break, or hangout with your pets on my off day and weekends! I will make sure that all of your pets’ needs are met as well as giving them as much love as they want. I think affection and attention are just as important as the safety and necessary ones.
“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!”
About: I’ve trained 3 dogs to be pet pals. I have had and cared for dogs my whole life. I have cared for puppies to senior dogs and have experience administering medication to elderly dogs. I am currently in college so I have plenty of time to care for pets! I am available to house sit or walk dogs as needed! I am able to crate dogs if needed and have experience dealing with multiple dogs. I also have experience with food aggression and other special needs.

FAQs for House Sitting - Oakhurst
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.

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.
