“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.”
“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!”
“Caitlin was absolutely fantastic!! We’ve struggled to find someone who can care for our pup as well as we can and Caitlin went above and beyond—cannot recommend her enough. Knowing Jules was safe and happy was such a relief. We look forward to working with her again!”
“Makayla loves animals and it is apparent when you see her interact with them. Maverick is a puppy and she did a great job playing with him. Sia, the cat came out to see her (which doesn't always happen) and Shandy loved her as well. She took good care of my house and it looked the same when I came home as when I left it. Thank you Makayla!”
“Madelyn was communicative, giving daily updates about River while I was gone. She took her on lots of walks and it seems my dog really got comfortable with her and cuddled a lot. I also came home to a clean house and she was respectful of my space while she was there! I am excited to use Madelyn again in the future.”
About: Love taking are of pets! I’ve had experience with caring for pups to seniors. I currently own 2 dogs now that I love so much! I’ve had dogs that have needed medication etc. I’m a teacher with afternoons off and I would love to check-in with your dog in the afternoons after work. Caring for your dog would be fun! I’m also available on weekends for various services. My dogs are crate free throughout the day but can be crated if needed. They love to roam around my home and enjoy walks daily!
“Diana and Jenn are very nice! They took the time to come meet my dog and me before the sitting, which is something that I really appreciated. I was sent pics during the sitting and everything! It was awesome not having to worry about my pets while I was out of town. Will be recommending them to everyone I know!”
“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. 🙏🏾”
“Paula was fantastic and our fur babies loved her!! They received lots of exercise and porch time. Her communication was excellent and she provided lots of pics during our time away. We will definitely be using her for our upcoming pet/house sitting needs.”
“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.”
“We left our dog and cat with Tony for 2 weeks and He sent us photos almost everyday When we came back from our vacation we saw both healthy, and Tony took care even of the house 100% approved and for sure we will call him again in the future”
About: I've house/dog sat for years, mostly for family friends but for the past 2 years I've opened that to outside people, and it's something I enjoy thoroughly! I have always had pets so I'm very comfortable with everything with fur (even scales if you're that type of person lol) I hope to continue this while I'm here in Clarksville. I am a full time student, but I have plenty of breaks and evenings to care for your animals! If hired, my schedule shouldn’t affect my availability to sit. With house sitting, I try to keep the same routine as you would. I know it can be hard to leave your fur babies behind, so I want you to have no doubt they are being left in loving hands! I make sure to send updates and pictures, to keep your mind at ease
About: I’ve been an animal person all my life and have always cohabitated with cats and dogs—I’ve been told I have good and calming energy with animals that makes them feel comfortable and secure with me. I have direct experience working in the animal care field at a local shelter; I facilitated dog and cat intakes, run dog playgroups & performed behavioral assessments. While managing the kennel, feeding schedules, special care and enrichment activities are important to me! I have direct experience administering vaccines, medication, and completing health assessments from newborn dogs and cats to seniors/palliative care. Gentle hands, warmth and kindness are important to me when handling animals. I take care of my own cats, dogs and chickens each day—working in the shelter environment it was a full time job, caring for animals. I hope to move into a more flexible routine caring for animals that aligns with my lifestyle. I will care for your animals just like how I care for my own. Maintain feeding schedules, exercise needs and balanced play/relax time. I have no problem administering medications and special meals for your pets and meeting their standard of care!
“It was our first time having someone housesit for our 2 dogs and Alex was great at alleviating any worries and making sure the pups were taken care of while we were gone. She did frequent check-ins and walked them daily. She was also kind enough to take of some housekeeping items which we appreciate so much! We plan on using her services again!”
“I recently hired Ian to watch my beloved fur babies while I was away for the weekend, and I couldn't be happier with the service he provided. From the moment he started caring for my dogs, I could tell he truly loves animals and was committed to making sure my pets felt comfortable and cared for. He sent me regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It's always nerve-wracking leaving your pets with someone new, but I could tell my dogs was in good hands with him. I highly recommend Ian to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Oaklawn
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,905 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.
<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 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 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.
