“These ladies are truly amazing! Went above and beyond for me and my dogs, never once had to worry if they were taken care of. They even went out of their way to celebrate Christmas and get gifts for our boys! Definitely recommend!!”
“She was such a blessing and overall a great person to watch my baby dezzi ! She was able to help at last minute i wish i could give more than 5 stars ? , She made Dezzi feel at home ! I will def be rebooking soon☺️”
“Lauren was great! She watched our 14 wk old Aussidoodle while we were away. We came home to a happy puppy and clean home. She was very responsive and sent lots of pics. She met us the day prior to our trip to go over everything and asked all the right questions! Definitely recommend.”
“Our pups had a safe and fun week with Shelby. She made sure they were fed, exercised and got lots of love and cuddle time. Our youngest pup who is still pretty shy with new people warmed up to Shelby very quickly.”
About: Not only have I grown up around dogs my entire life, I was a dog trainer for five years and have experience as a dog groomer as well. Dogs have always had a special place with me and I have been the go to pet sitter for my friends and family. Looking forward to bringing that care to you! I’m currently working part-time and am a college student. However, mornings work great for check ins and I have a flexible evening schedule. Reach out and I’m sure we could work something out! My early mornings are Mondays when I work at 6:30 am and Saturdays I work 4am-12:30pm. Wednesdays and Thursdays I work until 9:30 pm but would be more than willing to do a check in after my shift! With my background in animal care and dog training, I have experience dealing with all varieties of dogs and cats and I love getting to know them and their unique personalities! My dog, Kai, is very important to me and I know how much trust matters when having someone check in on him and my goal is to be that person for you and your pets!
“Denver was great, and we will definitely be reaching out to him in the future. He took pictures, gave updates, and made sure the dogs weren’t chewing up anything they weren’t supposed to. When we got home, the dogs were all relaxed and happy. Thank you, Denver!”
“I’m more than happy with Alysse’s service! Het attention to detail, professionalism, and friendly demeanor truly made a difference in my cats & my experience. The care and effort she puts into making sure everything was perfect. Her dedication to her work is evident, and it did not go unnoticed. Thank you for going above and beyond to ensure that I was satisfied with the service. 🙏🏾”
“Brandy was phenomenal! She sent multiple updates every day along with pictures of our boys while we were gone. She took such great care of our dogs and our home. We will definitely use her again in the future. She is very professional and amazingly sweet. I could tell our boys were happy to have her here while we were away.”
About: I’ve taken care of a wide variety of animals, including dogs 🐕 , cats 🐈 ,rats 🐀, chameleons 🌈 , iguanas 🦎 , and birds 🐥. Currently, my family has five cats 🐈⬛ (four of which are mine), two dogs 🐶 (a Rottweiler and a Lab Mix), two birds 🦜(a Conyard and an Amazon parrot), and a large Sulcata tortoise 🐢 . I also have a jumping spider 🕷️ . I’m well-versed in all aspects of animal care ❤️🩹and have a lot of patience 🤗. I’ll give your pets all the love and attention they need. 💕 I’m currently between jobs because I recently moved here. So, my typical morning routine involves opening the blinds, feeding my cats, and checking on my spider. I would treat my clients’ animals as if they were my own and would adapt to the specific needs of each pet as per the client’s instructions.
About: I have dog sat many times for friends and family over the years. The most in depth experience i’ve had is my parents 11 year old rescue with a few health issues that i helped take care of the last year before moving to Nashville. I am a musician so my schedule is very flexible and i can plan my days around pet care since i usually work at night. i live on a farm, so if you need me to watch your pets at my house they will have a lot of outdoor safe space and a nice spot in my cozy home.
“When a last minute work trip came up, Tony helped out significantly with my two furballs. They seemed to have been happy to have him stay with them and overall, the experience was really good!”
“She did great! Very communicative, sent updates and pictures throughout the night which I really appreciated. She also took the time to meet Delta before our booking, so that she would be more comfortable the night of.”
“My dogs (one of whom is usually very anxious) seemed to instantly like Danielle, which is always such a relief when I leave them with a sitter. My house was clean and tidy when I returned, and my pooches were securely locked up in their crates and calm. Thankyou!”
“Nicole is awesome!!! She took excellent care of my dog & my house and sent me pictures and messages to let me know how my fur baby was doing. I felt very comfortable leaving town for a week and knowing Nicole was caring for Kenli. I highly recommend Nicole and I will definitely have her care for Kenli again!!! Thank you Nicole!!”
“I absolutely could not have picked a better sitter! Alesha took care of my cats and my house for a week while I was out of the country. She respected my property and was extremely communicative, and really set my mind at ease. She went above and beyond what I expected in every way, did my laundry, cleaned out and organized my fridges, scrubbed out my filthy kitchen sink so it shines! My cats were sick when she came and one of them had lost weight. I came back to healthy cats and that one has obviously gained weight. My cats loved her judging from the pics she sent me. If you want the best, hire Alesha!”
About: As an active duty service member, I bring dedication, structure, and compassion to everything I do — including caring for pets! I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities for over two years and have my own 11-month-old Maltipoo who keeps me active and smiling. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or just keeping your pet company while you’re away, I’ll treat your furry friend like my own — with plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I’m active duty but available on my off days, weekends, and evenings after 5 p.m. I enjoy spending my free time walking, boarding, and playing with pets. I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex with three dog parks and personal balconies. Your pet will enjoy a safe, fun, loving, and supervised environment.

FAQs for House Sitting - Oaklawn
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,942 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Oaklawn. 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 Oaklawn 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 Oaklawn 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 Oaklawn 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.

- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
