About: I've been helping care for friends' dogs on and off for several years through drop-in visits and daily care. My experience includes feeding, providing fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and making sure pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. As an active person who enjoys walking and running, I understand the importance of exercise and mental stimulation for dogs. I treat every pet with patience, attention, and affection, and I strive to provide dependable care that gives both pets and their owners peace of mind. As a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule, I have availability throughout the day for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship.

About: Hi, I’m Trinity! I recently earned my MBA and am a former collegiate track and field athlete. I’ve loved animals my whole life and originally studied biology with plans to attend veterinary school. I grew up with a family dog I was very close to, and after losing them, I became even more passionate about giving pets love, patience, and care. As an adult, I got my own dogs, Scooby and Nola, and I treat every pet I watch with that same level of love and protection. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or companionship, I make sure they feel safe and happy. New to Rover?

About: I currently work at a veterinary clinic and have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and other animals with many different needs. I’m comfortable caring for senior and special-needs pets, administering owner-provided medications as directed, monitoring pets closely, and following veterinary instructions for pets that need extra attention. My animal experience also includes working at PetSmart and years of caring for my own dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles. I’m comfortable with many different personalities, sizes, ages, and care needs. I provide a safe, loving environment where your pet will receive plenty of attention, playtime, and individualized care. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so their safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my priority. I’ll care for your pet like they’re one of my own! Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life. I currently work at a veterinary clinic, so caring for animals is something I’m very comfortable with and genuinely enjoy. Before and after work, I have plenty of time to feed, walk, play with, monitor, and spend one-on-one time with the pets staying with me. I can also follow specific feeding schedules, medication schedules, exercise restrictions, or other instructions provided by the owner. Safety is always my top priority. I have a spacious home and a large backyard where pets can have plenty of room to play, exercise, and relax. I closely supervise animals and can keep pets separated when needed based on their personality, size, comfort level, or medical needs. Because of my veterinary clinic experience, I’m also comfortable noticing changes in behavior, eating, drinking, bathroom habits, or general condition. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, routines, medications, and any special needs. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they are away from home.

About: I am the definition of a pet lover!! All my life I have owned all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, lizards, frogs, snakes, and birds. I’ve been pet sitting since I was 12, I made money as a young teenager by passing out flyers in my neighborhood offering walks and play sessions. I’ve cared for many different breeds and sizes, and as an adult I have raised and trained 2 puppies, a Pit Bull and German Sheppard, and adopted four seniors. I currently sit for family and close friends regularly. I have a 9 year old chihuahua mix named Tucker and a chameleon named Skittles I am currently working full time but I am off Thursday-Saturday and off at 2 on the days I do work so I am available and time that I am not at work! I will treat your furry family members the same way that I treat mine, my chihuahua Tucker lives his life like a king! He sleeps in the bed with me and my wife every night and we have a fenced in dog park at my apartments so he gets to run around and play fetch and then when we are done he expects his massage session with my impact massage gun, we also have a grooming station on site so he very much enjoys his weekly baths. At my dads when I pet sit for him I take his German Sheppard Elsa on long walks and play hide and seek with her in the house(she always wins) My sister has a Golden retriever puppy so when he isn’t sleeping he is wanting to play chase and fetch in the back yard.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Oakridge on Rover is $31.03 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 289 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Oakridge. 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 Oakridge 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 Oakridge 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 Oakridge 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.
