“Hannah M did a great job! She gave our pups all the attention they needed while we were gone for nearly a week. And she kept up with any mess they made aswell and stayed in contact with us often. We greatly appreciate it.”
“Riley is awesome!! She took such good care of my two pups while we were traveling for the holidays. She sent lots of updates with pictures. They got lots of cuddles and attention. I appreciated that Riley treated them like her own. Will definitely be using Riley in the future and would recommend to my friends in the area!!”
About: What sets me apart is that I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I had both cats and dogs my entire like and I’m comfortable caring for both energetic young pets and senior dogs who may need a slower pace, extra patience, or more frequent attention. I’m also happy to follow specific feeding, walking, medication, or training routines to help pets feel comfortable while their parent is away. I am currently a student at Sam Houston State University, studying Kinesiology (Pre-PT), so my schedule can be a little hectic. My availability is not always completely accurate, but if you get in contact with me we can work something out! I am super laid back and love to just spend time laying around, but I can also get up and moving if your pet is high energy.
“We were so happy with Haidyn and will certainly be using her again! She was quick to reply and easy to coordinate with, reliable and kind. She house sat our energetic foster dog as well as our many cats while we were out of the country and we came home to happy animals and a clean home! She was very knowledgeable about animals and did her research on our dog's needs prior to meeting. We greatly appreciated her passion and love for animals, knowing ours were being so well taken care of while we were gone.”
“Karen was awesome! She took such incredible care of our Dog, and the house looked better than we left it. It’s such a relief to find someone so reliable. We would certainly ask her to come back.”
About: I have 8 years of experience caring for pups of all kinds, including high-energy dogs, seniors, and even puppies. I am comfortable administering oral medications and topical treatments when needed. Your dog's health, safety, and comfort always come first. I do my best to keep their routine consistent so they feel relaxed and happy while you're away. We'll enjoy playtime, walks, mental stimulation, and plenty of pets. I'm confident maintaining existing training and reinforcing good habits along the way. If you're looking for someone reliable, attentive, and genuinely committed to your dog's well-being, I'd love to help care for your four-legged family! I currently work full-time, with typical 8-5 hours, however my schedule is flexible which allows me to be flexible to your dogs needs. If I am staying at your home, my routine will be molded to fit the needs of your pet, including when I wake up, being home with your pup when I am not at work, walks, and more. Your pet is my priority! I will follow all your instructions, and assure that the care of your pet(s) and your property is excellent.
“Laura was great with our three girls. They had never been left before and she stayed at our house and took care of them. Was very pleased and will definitely use her again if the need should arise.”
About: Due to my bubbly personality, I believe I can show your pets lots of love to avoid that separation anxiety from y’all being gone. I give my 100 in everything I do no matter what I do. I’m also very flexible with understanding how life events may pop up so cancelations don’t bother me. I believe showing love and compassion is the key to helping people feel accepted and understood, same thing with animals. I don’t think anyone should feel alone so I’m always that girl seeking to help someone in need. If you like my services, I won’t mind keeping in touch for future pet-sitting. Also, friendships are always welcomed in my life. I love meeting new faces and enjoying new company. If you have questions, please don’t hesistate to ask. I want to provide the best care for your pet, your home, and you. Leaving your animal behind is very stressful and can be sad. The last thing you want is to worry about is your pet while you’re away. I am medically retired from the Air Force. I do not work so I have all the time in the world. :) I just moved to Livingston, Texas! I haven’t worked with Rover since 2021-2022 when I lived in Florida but I decided I needed some form of a schedule so here I am. If your dog likes running I have a leash that I can take them running. If they like chasing a ball, I can bring my ball thrower and make sure they get lots of exercise. I can accommodate to anything! Communication is the key to make a great experience :)
About: I grew up taking care of cats, dogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, etc. I have experience in walking, playing, feeding, and being a friend to all animals! :) I am pretty open on weekends and some weekdays! I am flexible with my schedule, and like to plan in advance. I would love to help out in house/pet sitting! I am safe, trustworthy, and reliable when taking care of pets. I grew up taking care of many animals including cats, dogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, frogs, fish, etc. I can feed, walk, play with, and support furry friends :).
“My Bandit loves Aiden! He is great with dogs and so dependable. After staying with my dog for 10 days, he left the house in perfect condition. I will use him often and highly recommend him.”
About: I have helped my mother in the past babysitting and taking care of dogs so I am sure I have the ability to do the same on my own. I am currently not working; taking a little break so I have all the time in the world to help out you and your pets! Making sure they feel comfortable and safe with me. Take them on many walks, play with their toys, and lots of head rubs and head pats!
About: I have taken care of pets most of my life. I have had multiple pets in my life. Right now I have a 4 year old cat and a 1 year old dog. I am currently home all the time. Only if I’m shopping for different things like grocery or pet food and toys. We usually wake up at 6 and then it’s breakfast time then we go for walks. I have a fenced in small yard but big enough to run around and play in. I have to animals. I have a dog and a cat. My babies enjoy watching their tv shows. They both have different interests and favorite so they usually take both the tvs in my house.
About: I've always wanted to have as many dogs as my living situation can handle! Dog sitting is an opportunity for me to do what I love! I rescued my first dog in 2014 and shortly after that I volunteered to be a foster mom to (2) 6 week old pit/lab mixes. It was definitely a handful, but I learned how to manage multiple dogs at once. Everything escalated from there to now! I love taking my dogs to the park, to the country, and to the beach when it's warm enough! They sure do love to play! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy being around animals and have experience caring for dogs through Rover. I live in Conroe and am in between jobs, so I am flexible depending on location and scheduling needs. I am available for extended house sitting and overnight stays, as long as my two friendly dogs are able to come with me. They are well-socialized, get along great with other animals, and are used to being around new pets and environments. I make sure every pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and consistent care while their owners are away. I care for every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency in their routine. In a client’s home, I make sure pets stay on their normal feeding, walking, medication, and sleep schedules to help them feel comfortable while their owners are away. I keep homes clean, secure, and well cared for, and I provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind. I am attentive to each pet’s personality, energy level, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I have experience with dogs of different sizes and temperaments, and I always use safe leash and handling practices during walks and outings. If house sitting, my dogs may accompany me with owner approval. They are friendly, well-socialized, and get along well with other animals. I always supervise introductions and interactions to ensure a safe and stress-free environment for everyone.
“Dulce was amazing! She stayed @ my place & took the best care of my rabbit Daisy! It’s always hard to leave but I knew she would be in good hands. I got lots of updates, pictures & videos. I came home to a very happy girl!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 181 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.
