“We truly appreciate all of the love and attention Crystal gave to our pets while we were on vacation. We received many updates and photos daily! We will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Great experience for our first time having Lisa sit for our three needy bulldogs! She was attentive and asked questions to ensure our babies where treated just like we wanted them to be. When we got back they were happy and healthy. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Lisa again and would highly recommend her for your pack!”
“Jaclyn was so kind and loving to my animals, I barely thought about them knowing they were in such good hands! She was respectful and gave me a lot of updates (pictures). Would definitely book again! Thanks ?”
“Hayley was fantastic! She took wonderful care of our three golden retrievers for 4 days, sending daily updates with pictures that really put my mind at ease. I always worry when we travel, but she made me feel so much better knowing our dogs were in great hands. She gave special care to our senior dog who’s turning 16 soon. We came home to happy dogs and a clean house. Highly recommend Hayley — we’d book her again!”
About: Experience volunteering at local cat cafe and caring for friends/family’s pets. Just like dogs, I also look forward to taking my own daily walks! :) I’m the proud mom of 2 cats and I specialize in caring for pets with anxiety. My main job is as a dance teacher, so I only work after school/work ends for our students. This leaves my mornings and mid-days free for walks and furry friends! I am always respectful of clients’ property (and pets of course)! My house currently does not accept pets but I love spending time outside and stopping by to provide needed care.
“Sierra was great! I got lots of pictures and my pets were very well cared for! She went the extra mile to give me peace of mind during my trip. I came home to a clean house and my fur babies in great shape! I will definitely ask for her for future trips and highly recommend her to care for your babies!”
About: I cat sit for my neighbor for long periods of time when she goes away. I’ve been an animal owner since the age of 3. Currently I’m in school for nursing but don’t have classes Monday and Wednesday as well as the weekend. Those days I’m hoping to spend time with pets. Caring for pets in my home I will have them on a leash if outside just in case they like to run away. At a clients home I’ll follow the directions to ensure perfect pet care.
“Alexandra was very professional and took excellent care of our dog, sent pics, kept us updated and gave us peace of mind while we were away for the weekend. Could not ask for anything better when it comes to taking care of our pup!”
“Was our first time using Rover again in 3 years due to a horrible initial experience. So glad we gave it another try and found Dawn. She was very pleasant and considerate. She had no problem sending pictures and doing facetime with our son to stay connected while away from our pup. Kely is often uncomfortable around strangers but warmed up to Dawn quickly. We are so glad we found her for times when our pup can’t travel with us.”
“Camryn was absolutely wonderful! She was able to meet and exceed all our expectations! Our pups absolutely loved her and she took the best care of them! We will definitely be asking Camryn to watch our girls again.”
“I cannot recommend Blythe enough! She stayed at my home to watch my high-energy dog, and she handled him like an absolute pro. He can be a handful, but Blythe kept him exercised, entertained, and totally comfortable the entire time. She sent regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I came home to a happy and tired pup! If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring—book Blythe. She went above and beyond, and I’m so grateful to have found her!”
“We’re so grateful we found Kalea. She stayed in our home and took amazing care of our two Labs while we were away over the 4th of July. She stuck to their routine, which really helped keep them calm and happy, especially during a stressful time. It was obvious they got tons of love and attention while we were gone. We came home to two very content pups! We’ll definitely be booking with her again — highly recommend!”
About: I was raised with dogs in the home ever since I was a little girl. I have never trained dogs that were younger than a year or two. I've taken my moms two golden retrievers for obedience trainings. Taught them how to sit, heel (which means walk with me and not in front of me), how to eat without aggression. Senior Care- My moms one golden retriever was 14 years old with hip pain. I used to help him stand up by have a towel or something that is soft and can wrap around his hips by lifting him up so he can walk outside to use the bathroom, etc. I can do early mornings before I have to be at work at 8am, and I am available anytime after 5pm. I work full time at Smucker Gardens from 8am-5pm. My job is flexible to an extent. I can also take a lunch break if you are in the area of Millersburg and take them on a walk or whatever you would like. My husband works from home, he is also a dog/cat loving person and would love to help (if your comfortable enough) if you are in the area of Herndon/Sunbury/Selinsgrove. Dogs- I would make sure that they are let out to use the bathroom, clean up the poop if inside and/or outside, play, feed, brush, bathe if needed, vet appt, etc. Cats- Clean up the litter, vacuum the area if needed (my cat for sure likes to make a mess), feed, play, brush, vet appt, etc. I unfortunately will not allow other pets in my home due to my husband only wanting our pets in our home.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Oaklyn
Duke loves Lisa and bonded with her very quickly. She was comfortable with his goofy “pitty” personality and he knew it. I believe this was the beginning of a beautiful friendship 😊 Lisa was great with sending photos and giving updates, putting my mind at ease during our time away. I can now look forward to trips away, knowing Duke is in good hands.

FAQs for House Sitting - Oaklyn
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 182 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Oaklyn. 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 Oaklyn 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 Oaklyn 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 Oaklyn 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.

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.
