“I only needed a sitter for one night, but I was so happy with how Tazzy was when I got home! Tazzy is an anxious pup and can be a little particular about new people and changes to his routine, so I’m always a little nervous leaving him with someone new. When I came home, though, he was completely himself—happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. You could definitely tell he got plenty of attention and cuddles while I was gone. 🥰 Everything at home was just as I left it, communication was great, and most importantly, I came home to a happy Tazzy. That’s really the best review I can give a sitter! I would absolutely feel comfortable having her watch him again.”
“Amanda is awesome… We were nervous about having a stranger watch our Stella girl. But we found out almost immediately that we had picked the right sitter. We will definitely use her again.”
“Christina took care of our Scottie during a quick trip to Washington. She got along well with the dog and kept in touch with us with text messages and picture. She spent the night with Cookie. When we returned the house was neat and the dog was happy. I will hire Christine again.”
“I am so grateful to have found such a wonderful dog sitter! My puppy is like my baby, so finding someone I could trust was very important to me. From the moment they met, my pup felt comfortable and even gives her kisses—which says a lot! I feel completely at ease knowing he’s in safe, loving hands. She provides the best quality of care, always sends me pictures, and responds quickly to any messages. I couldn’t ask for more!”
About: I’ve been a pet owner and animal lover for many years, with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I have an 11-year-old dog and two cats of my own. One of my cats was rescued from the streets after suffering an injured leg, so I understand the extra patience, care, and attention that some pets need while they recover. I know how much our pets mean to us and how important it is to find someone you can truly trust. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, and giving pets the individualized care and attention they deserve. I’ll treat your pets like they’re part of my own family and keep you updated while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule with plenty of availability throughout the week. Please feel free to reach out with your preferred dates and times, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your needs. I prioritize safety, comfort, and making sure every pet feels secure and cared for. I follow each pet’s routine and their owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special needs. I provide plenty of supervision, attention, playtime, and affection while keeping the environment clean and safe. I also understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I’m patient and respectful of their individual needs. My goal is for your pet to feel happy, relaxed, and at home while they’re in my care.
About: Ive been taking care of dogs since I was 12 years old, as well as having a black lab of my own. I have a lot of experience with puppies, seniors, special needs dogs, and special services or attention any furry babe might need (such as medications, allergies, and injection treatments) I currently work part time and work from home, and do my schoolwork online so my schedule is very flexible to meet your pets needs and schedule. For home visits, I make sure the dog/ cat has everything they need including food, water, relief, attention and love 💕 and anything else that may be requested from you. For walks I’m very mindful of the Florida heat and the concrete around the time of day.
“Jennifer was truly amazing! Arrived early, sent constant updates, and was very pleasant to work with overall. Would definitely book again - 10/10”
“Michele is 5 stars. Caring, reliable and sincere. Communication was excellent and she ensured that our elderly pup's needs were taken care of. So happy to know we are safe leaving our Toby in her care. Thanks again!”
“Kara was so wonderful! She was extremely communicative and took amazing care of my dog Willow for 5 days. She is so kind and a true natural with dogs. She also took amazing care of my house, it was so clean when I got home. Definitely will be booking Kara again!”
About: "I’m a passionate animal lover and proud pet owner who treats every dog with the same care and attention as my own. You can count on me to be dependable, punctual, and fully attentive to your dog's needs during every walk." Attentive to your dog's routine and walking schedule. I am always happy to adapt to whatever feeding or exercise routine your pet needs to feel happy and secure while you are away. Your dog's safety is my top priority. With years of hands-on experience caring for animals, I treat every client's pet with the same love, patience, and dedication as my own. I always ensure secure leash handling, stay alert during walks, and strictly respect all instructions for your home and pet."
“Sean is great with the animals. I will definitely use him in the future. His communication was spot on and his caring personality was perfect. Thanks for being so loving to our fur babies!!!”
“My pup Ted couldn't have had a better time hanging with Maddie. We can't recommend her enough! Trusting, reliable, and so caring of our Ted. You can tell Maddie absolutely loves animals. Highly recommend!!”
About: Over the years I have cared for a variety of animals, including domestic, exotic, and livestock. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their medically needy animals over the past decade and I am now opening that service up to Rover. I'm not a vet tech but I am comfortable and experienced administering a variety of medical treatments like insulin injections, pill regiments, eye drops/skin ointments, and subq fluids. Leaving town with a pet can be stressful, especially one that needs specialized care. I can help. Currently over all I have quite a bit of flexibility with my schedule. I have my own small business that is sporadic gig work on the weekends. Most events last 4 to 6 hours, maximum 8 hours, and not every weekend has events. I prefer to pet sit in the home the pets belong to. I find that with most animals it's incredibly stressful to move them, staying in their home with them minimalizes that stress. It also allows for easier medicine administration. I like to meet the pets and owners ahead of staying with them, this is to again reduce the stress on your pet when I show up without you as well as to observe the quality of care you are administering to your fur babies.
“Catherine Z is truly an exceptional pet sitter! She took amazing care of my two French Bulldogs, giving them plenty of playtime and attention. It was clear they adored her, and I loved knowing they were in such good hands. Catherine kept me updated throughout, sending adorable pictures and videos that reassured me they were happy and well cared for. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and communicative, I highly recommend her!”
“Yasmine was absolutely amazing! 🥹 She watched my dog for a whole week while I was out of town, and I truly couldn’t have asked for someone better. She was so loving, attentive, and responsible, and she kept me updated throughout the week, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dog was so happy and comfortable with her, and it was obvious that he was well taken care of. I’m so grateful I found Yasmine and would 100% trust her with my dog again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat your pet like their own! ❤️”
“Maura was so kind and sweet with my babies. Zeus, khaleesi and myself all loved her!!!! She was fantastic & def will call her again. Thank you Maura so much!!!!”
About: I am a dog mom to a 6 year old goldendoodle and have had cats & dogs my whole life. I love to care and nurture animals as they are such precious beings. I've dealt with all breeds, ages, and sizes of dogs with different treatment protocols. I pay very close attention to detail and will provide the same care you provide because I know how important it is. I truly love nurturing and find it my calling! I am transitioning out of corporate life as a marketing director and am wanting to do this full time as this is makes me more happy in this season of life :) With that being said, I am free everyday to care for your pets! At home my dog is fully trained and has fully capacity to roam the house. I also care for animals that need to be crated, limited by space, and more. I am willing to always abide by the rules that are set with each family. Every pet has their own way of life.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Oakland Park is $54

Jennifer was absolutely incredible! I was extremely nervous using Rover for the first time, and being out of town for 5 days, but she eased all of my anxiety. She sent me multiple daily photo updates, communication was fast and easy, and my dog loved her. I was able to truly enjoy my trip with no worries He was clearly taken care of with the utmost of care and she followed my detailed instructions. I will definitely be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!!! Thank you SO much for everything, Jennifer!
Julia was fabulous! She stayed at our home for 3 nights with our 2 dogs. She was very communicative and sent many photos. Our dogs felt comfortable with her immediately. I know they were really sad when she left! I would absolutely recommend Julia to anyone. So happy I found her!

So easy to talk to and it is very clear he genuinely cared about my pups wellbeing and comfort. Great communication, sending pictures. I was worried to leave them in such a new place with our me but James took care of them like it was me doing it. He even came over multiple times to meet them. I wouldn’t hesitate at all to have him back. Thank you james for being so good with them.
Michele stayed over with our dog Connie and she was wonderful, confident, communicative, and quick to respond to every message. She truly cared about Connie, and we couldn't have been happier. Highly recommend her for house sitting, I would absolutely book her again!
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Lili absolutely adored him. Every time he was around, she wanted to play with him and barely paid any attention to us, which says everything about how comfortable and happy she felt in his care. He was incredibly responsive and kept us updated throughout our time away with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. It was very obvious that he genuinely loves dogs and knows how to connect with them. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book him again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable to watch their dog!
Nicole was absolutely exceptional. From start to finish, she was professional, communicative, attentive, and genuinely caring. It was immediately clear how much she truly loves animals, and our dog absolutely adored her. While we were away, Nicole kept us updated regularly and gave us tremendous peace of mind knowing our dog was in such great hands. She treated him like her own, and we could tell he was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for the entire time. Finding someone you fully trust with your dog is not easy, and Nicole exceeded every expectation we had. She is dependable, thoughtful, kind, and clearly takes great pride in the care she provides. We would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a trustworthy and genuinely wonderful sitter. Thank you again, Nicole, for taking such amazing care of our dog. We are incredibly grateful and look forward to booking with you again soon.

FAQs for House Sitting - Oakland Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Oakland Park on Rover is $48.15 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,615 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Oakland Park. 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 Park 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 Park 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 Oakland Park 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Oakland Park. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
