“I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! From start to finish, Jezabell’s communication was excellent, she kept me updated and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My fur-babies were clearly well cared for, happy, and comfortable when I returned, which says everything. She also treated my home with so much respect and left everything clean and in great condition. It’s such a relief to find someone who is not only reliable but truly cares. I would absolutely recommend Jezabell to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate pet sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and genuinely love caring for them. I was a dog owner for 14 years and hamster owner for 2 years (the entirety of their lifespans 🩷). In addition to my own pets, I’ve regularly helped care for family members’ and friends’ pets, including feeding, walking, playtime and keeping them comfortable while their owners were away. While I’m new to offering services through Rover, I’m not new to responsibly caring for animals. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important trust and communication are when someone is caring for your pet. My goal is always to provide calm, attentive, and loving care so both you and your pet feel at ease. I am in real estate and I work primarily from home, which allows me to have a very flexible schedule and be available throughout the day for pet care. I have plenty of availability for midday walks, frequent check-ins, and longer visits, and I enjoy getting outside for walks as part of my own daily routine. I am able to give your pet the time and attention they deserve. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual schedule and adjust as needed! I live in a single-family home with a fully fenced yard, Providing a safe and secure space for dogs to enjoy outdoor time and play. My home is pet-free and child-free. I’m mindful about safety at all times and closely supervise pets during play and outdoor activities. I follow any instructions you provide carefully, including feeding schedules, leash preferences, crate use, and routines, to ensure your pet feels comfortable and at home.

We’ve tried several pet sitters but no one leaves our kitties as happy and our place as clean as when Alexis comes to watch them. We will be using Alexis again and again!”

Throughout the day, she sent us pictures and updates, giving us peace of mind that they were happy and well cared for. She also treated our home with the utmost respect and was such a pleasure to have in our home.

“Adriana did a great job with our pack. She arrived timely, spent most if not all of her days while we were gone at the house with them. It rained most of our time away so they were cooped up inside and we came home to a normal house so she found a way to keep them engaged and go out in the rain to potty. For at least one of them that isn't an easy task. She communicated daily with photos and updates and responded promptly to our messages. We came home to 3 healthy and happy dogs.”

I participate in local events, fundraising and Hound Around Town monthly. I have since expanded my efforts with Husky Haven of Florida as a transport for rescues. I’ve worked at Disney’s pet resort & dog daycare in downtown Orlando. 💯 My base rate listed on my profile covers standard, high-quality care (feeding, potty breaks, and companionship). Since I am a certified dog trainer, the context described above is offered as an active Training Add-On Package for an extra $15 per day. Just be sure to brief me in your contact message and we can discuss together further in detail. With dog training as my core, and having an Executive Assistant professional background of over 20 years, calendar maintenance comes natural and my availability is easily workable around varying schedules. If I’m not at the dog park or training, I can be available for services as necessary. I focus on science-backed methods that are mindful and effective, while integrating enrichment, affection, stimulation (both mentally and physically), rest breaks, sniffy walks, play time and cuddles. I prioritize the pet parents requests and instructions, aligned with fulfillment that meets the dog’s foundational needs.

About: I’ve been pet sitting since 2015 and have loved every moment. I have a big heart for animals and the people who adore them. Pets bring so much joy to our lives, and they deserve the same love and care in return. When you’re away, you can feel at ease knowing your pets are safe, happy, and treated like family. I am in pet grooming school Monday through Friday from 9-3pm. I am fully available on weekends. If there are any other questions you may have about my schedule feel free to contact me! I do not have any pets (except a turtle), and my parents are animal lovers like me so they always give lots of extra love. We do not have a fence but we do have a good yard.

I also have a cat and a 🐢! I’ll care for yours as I would want someone else to do for mine. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet/pets! Pet care is my full time job and am available for drop in visits and house sittings when needed. I’m also happy to accommodate last-minute requests! Every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and individual needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

Carlye is great! Although she has sat for us in the past, she still came and did a meet and greet prior to the booking at our new place. The dogs seem comfortable with her and excited to see her. She left the house clean, walked the dogs and sent pictures.

Remy was so amazing with our baby girl! This was our first time leaving our 3 month old puppy and I felt no hesitation at all leaving her in Remy’s capable hands. We’ve already decided that we’d love to have her pet sit for us again in the future. She sent us adorable pictures of our baby girl and our puppy was so relaxed and comfortable that she fell asleep in her arms.

Elizabeth stayed with our girls, Nelly & Stella, at our home over Labor Day weekend. It was a somewhat last minute booking which she accommodated after a meet & greet at our home. She provided photos of our girls throughout her stay which helped us feel connected to our girls while we're traveling. We are very pleased with the experience!

FAQs for House Sitting - Oakland

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Oakland on Rover is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $61 per night. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 3,079 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Oakland. 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 Oakland 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 Oakland 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 Oakland 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 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 Meet & Greet .

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Oakland. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.
