About: Hi! I’m Paige, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I have 10+ years of hands-on animal experience, from raising rabbits and sheep to caring for animals with very different personalities, routines, and needs. What sets me apart from a typical pet sitter is that my experience goes far beyond dogs and cats. I’m comfortable around farm animals and have experience with daily animal care, feeding, handling, grooming, and keeping a close eye on behavior and health. I treat every animal like they’re my own and take the time to learn their individual routine, personality, and quirks. Whether your pet needs an energetic play session, a calm companion, or someone experienced with animals who need a little extra care, I’m happy to help! I can fit pet care in on weekdays or weekends! As a college student, my schedule is very flexible and allows me to spend time needed with your pets! When caring for pets in their home, I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable in their own environment. I follow your instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure pets have a clean, safe space while they’re in my care. There will NEVER be any guests. I also understand that every pet is different. I take the time to learn their individual habits, preferences, feeding routine, and any special instructions so they receive care that feels familiar and stress-free.

“Alyssa and Zach came to stay with my dog and cat while I was out of town. I knew that I could trust them to take care of my dog Lola. I had recently adopted her and wanted someone I trust to stay with her as she was still adjusting to new routines and places. They were so fantastic!”

About: Hi! I’m Nicole 🐾I’m currently in the process of becoming a dog trainer 🎓🐕 I’m originally from Brazil 🇧🇷, where I graduated as a pharmacist. I recently moved to the U.S. 🌎 due to my husband’s work. Animals have always been a huge part of my life 🐶. For many years, I’ve cared for dogs and volunteered at a shelter 🏡🐾, helping rescue dogs from the streets. Those experiences strengthened my love for animals while teaching me patience, empathy, and genuine care. After moving, I deeply felt the absence of my own dog (who unfortunately had to stay in my home country) and, Instead of letting that feeling become just distance, I chose to turn it into something meaningful by sharing the same love, attention, and care with other pets. I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities: from energetic and playful pups ⚡ to shy or more sensitive pets 🐕‍🦺. I always take the time to help them feel safe, understood, and truly cared for 💛. My goal is for both pets and owners to feel completely at ease, knowing their loved one is in kind, dependable hands. I also provide regular updates and photos so you ALWAYS feel connected and reassured throughout their stay 📸✨. I do my best to offer flexible availability and accommodate a variety of schedules whenever possible. Because I truly care about giving each pet the attention they deserve, I thoughtfully manage my calendar to make sure every booking receives the time, care, and presence it should. Whether your pet needs regular visits, last-minute help, or a more personalized routine, feel free to reach out. I’m always happy to communicate and see how I can help while making sure it remains the best experience for every pet in my care 😊 Your pet’s comfort, happiness, and safety are always my top priorities. I know every pet is unique, so I take the time to understand their routine, personality, and what helps them feel most at ease. Whether they need playtime, cuddles, quiet companionship, medication support, or extra patience, I always adapt my care to their individual needs. I also send regular updates and photos, so you can feel connected and reassured knowing your pet is happy, safe, and receiving loving care.

About: I have been a proud Golden Retriever owner for over five years and truly enjoy caring for dogs. I love taking my dog on walks, playing fetch and hide-and-seek, and teaching obedience commands with patience, consistency, and lots of love. I understand the importance of providing dogs with exercise, attention, structure, and affection, and I will care for your pet as if they were my own. Pet care is my side kick passion, I'm looking to do pet sitting full time over the weekends. As a responsible professional and dedicated pet owner, I understand the importance of reliability, trust, and providing attentive care. I am available primarily available on weekends, from Friday evening through Sunday evening, for pet sitting, drop-in visits, walks, and companionship. I am also happy to care for your pet in the comfort of your own home if that is your preference. If you need assistance during the week, such as evening walks, feeding visits, or check-ins, I am willing to work with you to accommodate your pet's needs whenever possible. My goal is to provide safe, loving, and dependable care so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands. Although my property does not have a fenced yard, we have a large outdoor space where your furry friend can safely enjoy time outside under my close supervision. I prioritize safety and never leave pets unattended outdoors. Inside our home, pets are treated like family. We allow our own dog on the furniture, so your pet is welcome to relax and make themselves comfortable. They will have the freedom to roam the house in a safe, loving environment rather than being confined. I understand that every pet has different needs and routines. If your preference is for your pet to be crated at certain times, I am happy to follow your instructions and maintain the schedule they are accustomed to. My goal is to provide care that aligns with your preferences and helps your pet feel secure, comfortable, and loved while you're away.

About: I’ve spent my whole life having some sort of animals in my life. I have two dogs that live back in southwest Missouri with my parents. One is a chocolate lab who is a female, and her name is Coco. The other dog, which is a Weimer Reimer he is a male and his name is trooper. The only reason I didn’t bring these dogs with me is because they were very close with my parents and I didn’t want to tear them apart and mess their routine up. I currently work full-time, and I travel the state of North Dakota during the week but I am back on the weekends which I will be available all weekend long how do you care? Whether it’s at my home or the clients home if it is a fenced backyard, I will go out there and sit with him and watch the dogs as they do their business. But if there’s no fenced in yard, I will take them for a walk and make sure they are well taken care of.

About: I have taken care of dogs all my life and love doing so. I have 2 Shih Tzu’s currently and both need prescribed medication. I have been able to comfortably give them the medicine they need for 6 years now. I have also taken care of my friend’s Golden Lab that required on time medication and food to be given in certain intervals and specific orders. I have taken care of many family friends dogs and was looking into what I could do to look after more. I am confident in giving medicine and comfortable spending the night to watch your dogs while also checking on them throughout the day. As of right now I work on weekdays so I could only do Friday afternoon-Sunday night. I can spend the night on days that are mentioned if needed and would also check on the dogs throughout the day. If it is specified by the owner to play with or take the dogs for a walk I am more then willing to do so. I spend a lot of time either sitting or playing with them. My dogs let me know kind of when they are done playing and just sit with them for as long as I am available. I give my dogs medicine mostly at night once a day but I have done medicine twice a day in the morning and night previously. I take my dogs for walks that vary in length from .75 miles to 2 miles but I’m comfortable with doing more or less depending on the dog. I have slept with dogs laying around me and I am comfortable with doing so.

FAQs for House Sitting - Oakport

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Oakport on Rover is $39 per night as of September 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $43 per night. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of September 2026, there are 115 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Oakport. 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 Oakport 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 Oakport 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 Oakport 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
