“Hunter did an awesome job. He’s great about communicating, sending pictures, and ensuring you feel comfortable that your babies are being taken care of. I came home to my house looking exactly the way I left and my pups being happy and well cared for.”
About: I have given medicine to senior dogs and I always send pictures of your dog everyday. If you want videos I can also do that as well. I always treat them as if I had my own kids. Dogs hold a very special place in my heart. I currently dog sit as my main job. I have been dog sitting the same dog for 6 years now. I used to dog sit more but unfortunately they passed due to old age. I make sure your dog will get the best care as if they were my own. I do daily walks with my dogs and some of the other dogs as long as the owner approves it. I have two German shepherds myself. They are very spoiled and get walked regularly. I make other dogs I watch get excellent care as if they are my own. Unfortunately I do not take dogs into my home.
About: I’ve had all types of dogs and cats throughout my 58 years of life. I currently have two beautiful Rottweilers whom I love dearly. Now that I’m retired, my goal is to get some land and have an animal rescue. I like spending time with animals more than people. I am retired so my days are spent spending time with my two Rottweilers and going to the gym and that’s about it. I have plenty of time to help care for animals that need me. I will care for your dog in whatever way you request. My schedule with them will be exactly what you want it to be. Both my Rottweilers sleep in my bed with me so if your dogs normally sleep in the bed with you, I will do that too. Actually it’s my favorite 🥰. I get sad when I have to leave my Rottweilers with family only because I know they’ll miss sleeping with me, going to their favorite park and chasing the ball, and spending the entire day with me. Animals get used to their routine and it stresses them out and makes them sad when they don’t get to do their normal things and spend time with their people. So I will try to make them as happy as they can be while you’re gone.
About: As a professional sitter, what sets me apart is my diverse skill set and experience. I specialize in not just regular pet sitting but also have extensive training in puppy training techniques, as well as K9 training making me adept at handling and guiding young pups through their crucial learning stages. Additionally, I have specialized training in senior pet care, ensuring that older pets receive the attention, care, and support they need, including administering medication or providing extra comfort and companionship. My dedication to continuous learning and my passion for animals make me a reliable and compassionate sitter who goes above and beyond to meet the unique needs of every pet in my care. As I am only working part-time. I ensure that pet care is seamlessly integrated into my daily routine. This includes regular feeding, exercise, playtime, walks , snuggles and administering any necessary medication or treatments as needed. Whether your pet stays with me or I come to your home, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll stick to their usual feeding schedule, make sure they always have fresh water, keep up with walks and exercise, and give them plenty of attention, playtime, and snuggles. I’m also comfortable following care instructions for medications and other special needs. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll respect your space and keep everything tidy while making sure your pet stays on their normal routine. I know every animal is different, so I’m always happy to work with their individual personality, preferences, and needs. Your pets will get plenty of love and attention, and you’ll get updates and pictures along the way!
“Sugit was great with the dogs and keeping in touch with us. We appreciated him staying at the house so that our 2 could be in their own environment even though this was his 1st time home sitting.”

“Cindy did a wonderful job taking care of our dog and our home. She sent photos and updates. We can tell our doggie enjoyed Cindy, because it was if we hadn’t left when we got back. She was calm, relaxed and happy. Very happy with Cindy taking care of our pet and home!”

About: I currently have a dog and have had another dog previously. I currently work in special education and also support my mother who has progressing dementia. I intend on making sure needs are being met while maintaining and building relationships. I’m working full time as a teacher and going to school full-time. I currently walk my dog the morning before going to work and when I arrive home. I’m flexible on the weekends and some week days. Since I work for the school I get a lot of holidays and week breaks, so I am able to have more availability. I ensure their needs are met by taking them for walks, feeding them, and ensuring they’re using the bathroom. I also give baths to keep them smelling fresh.
“So grateful for Cheri’s care for understanding Tibby’s needs. With our dogs anxiety, she allowed the time for him to grow comfortable with her while providing him a safe, comfortable and fun environment. She played with him and took him for walks and shared photos throughout the day. Thank you for taking such great car of our boy.”
“Another amazing housesitting stay for our 3 pups! We reached out last minute when our first human baby decided to make her grand entrance to the world earlier than expected and are just so grateful our pups got to be cared for by Antonio again. He truly takes care of our pups as if they are his own and his willingness AND ability to accommodate whatever might come up for them means so much to my family! Thank you, Antonio!”
About: I'm usually a very meticulous person. When I was 15, I helped my friend take care of her Golden Retrievers. They were quite big for me, but I was up to the task. I learned how to care for them, how to take them for walks, and how to clean them. I also have a lot of energy, and I think taking care of dogs requires good physical stamina. As long as I show them careful and loving attention, the dogs can sense it. I'm only available in the mornings and evenings before January 5th, but I'll have more time after January 5th. We need to schedule a time to meet and discuss things in detail. My home is an apartment and doesn't have a backyard, but my bedroom is very spacious. My house has wall-to-wall carpeting. There are no pets in the house.
About: I have over 10 years of pet and house sitting. I have the skills needed for basic care of your pet as well as senior pets and pets with special needs. I will be watering any plants, picking up mail, and light cleaning. I’m flexible with each client based on individual needs. I have a flexible schedule to ensure your pet/home is getting the care needed while you are away. My availability is open during this holiday season. I follow any directions provided to ensure your pet/home will be safe and trusted while in my care. The environment must be clean before services are provided.
About: I've taken care of pets since I was a kid. Family, Friends, and Neighbors have relied on me to take care of their pets and I've never let any of them down. Big or small, I'll love your pet and make sure they have a great time! Tips are welcome and appreciated :) I'm a recent college grad with a wide open schedule. Due to the heat during the summer, it's ideal for any walks to be in the early morning or late evening. I can easily crate your dog if necessary or any other requests related to that. I'm very bubbly with dogs and have plenty of patience to deal with all sorts of antics. I'm happy to meet your pet where they're at in terms of comfort and trust.
About: I've been a dog and cat owner since I was a child. I started taking care of my friend's dogs about 5 years ago. I would stay the night as well as visit them to let them outside. She recently got a great dane puppy that I check in on to let out and watched him for a few hours while he was being trained. I also have helped my partner's dogs, one of which is very anxious, while their family was out of town. I watched them, played with them, cuddled, and fed them. I am in community college right now, so my availability is most open on the weekends, Friday-Sunday. However, I also have afternoon availability for walks, check ins, potty breaks, and play dates during the week! I love to play with small to big dogs and cats, and I can watch them if they need to be let out. I also follow feeding instructions very specifically and dutifully. I have experience crating big dogs that are already crate trained, and I have been learning in my free time how to place train my own dogs, so I can assist in that training if needed given instruction.
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience with both energetic puppies (training basics) and cherished senior dogs (comfort, special needs). I offer personalized care tailored to your pet's life stage, drawing from years of experience with my own pack. My pet care routine is built around consistent daily attention, thanks to my schedule where I'm only working evenings on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. This allows me to provide regular potty breaks, meals, and plenty of engaging activities throughout the day, Monday through Wednesday morning, and all day Thursday through Sunday. My pets thrive with this level of presence and dedicated care. When pets stay in my home, they get a loving, family-like atmosphere with constant supervision, plenty of playtime, and a securely fenced yard. They're treated as one of my own! But as for For in-home visits, I come to you! Your pet stays comfortable in their familiar environment, sticking to their usual routine for feeding, walks, and potty breaks. I ensure their safety and your home's security.
About: For 2 yrs, I was a volunteer for an animal shelter, Berkeley Humane, and took care of dogs & cats needs. I’ve also have plenty experience watching overs friends’ loved ones and had no problems at all. I’ve been and capable to watch, walk, play and make sure your loved one gets all the attention as if they were my own. I absolutely love dogs & cats. I’ve grown up with many pets before, and now I have a sweet, yet energetic of my own. I love to walk and I would love to get the opportunity to walk your dog. I’m currently a full-time artist at home. I’m almost home 24/7. I’m only gone for 2 hours to go to the gym. However, I do keep my dog inside the crate too so I would need your dog to be crate trained in case I need to leave the house. This provides a safety and peaceful nap-time for the babies so when I come back, we are all ready to play again! I’m very respectful and clean of one’s property and of my own. I follow instructions clearly and ask important questions needed to ensure I have all the correct info. All always update you and ensure your fur baby is happy & loved :)
About: I see and treat any pet as family. I really enjoy meeting new pets. And every pet deserves an endless amount of love and appreciation. I have a pretty open availability and I do my best to be as flexible as I can be so I look forward to watch your furry friend. I do my absolute best to go off the recommend requirements asked of me when being booked for any pet. My pets stay indoors with me and sleep in my bed if they want or they just sleep in the room too.
About: I have worked at vet hospitals for 4+years and have cared for all ages. I have extensive experience with pets who need special attention, medication and sensitivities. I'm currently in between jobs so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I have grown used to pet sitting at a client's house even while working full-time so I know how to juggle responsibilities. I treat them as if their my own! I make sure I know their routine and allergies, if any, and always update the owner if something seems "off". I always make sure I have the contact of their veterinarian and if they do not have one, I will go to one I used to work at if close by.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Oakley
Elizabeth was fantastic Spencer and Foxy loved her. They both found a new friend so did us. Very positive person who you can see love taking care of pets . We recommend her very highly and we will definitely have her take care of our dogss.Thank you so much for the care and love of Foxy and Spencer.
Amanda was just such an excellent choice for my beloved dog. She made her so happy and clearly cared a lot. Her messages to members heartfelt and I could tell she loves what she does. On the logistics part, she covered all the bases of maintaining the dog with feeding and walks and treated the house with care
Tina watched our dogs for five days while we were on and out-of-state vacation. It was our first time leaving our dogs with anyone from Rover and I was very unsure about the process. Although we have an older dog who is super sweet and very easy-going, we have a one-year-old rescue puppy, who is a handful AND has extreme anxiety about everything - noises, cars, other animals, and - most of all- people. Tina was very responsive on the app, had great reviews and seemed very trustworthy from her profile. She agreed to meet me and the dogs beforehand and was so generous with her time during that first visit and really took time to understand my puppy’s needs. We booked, but I was still anxious to see whether it would work out. Well, it turns out that I didn’t need to have any worries at all because she was an absolute dog whisperer. Tina was in constant contact with me - during the day at at night - about everything and sent pics and videos of the dogs. It is clear that both my dogs absolutely adored her and felt super comfortable with her around. And that scare puppy of mine? She was in Tina’s lap by the second morning! I could see they were treating her the same way they treat us, which is the greatest sign of dogsitter success. Aside from the dogs, Tina was respectful of our home, cleaned up after herself, stuck to our dogs’ schedule and was a total godsend to me and my family. She was kind, polite, calm and generally lovely to deal with. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She had a tough task and absolutely knocked it out of the park. We have found our person and my dogs have, as well. Thank you, Tina! ❤️
We put a lot of trust in Dylan to do a home stay with our two pet bunnies while we were out of the country for two weeks, and he didn’t disappoint. He was on schedule, sent photos of every mealtime, and we came home to happy, healthy bunnies and a tidy apartment. Couldn’t ask for more.

The average cost of House Sitting in Oakley is $71 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $101 per night. On Rover, 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.

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 Oakley 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 Oakley 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 Oakley 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
