“Jenna was great. Super communicative, very attentive during the meet and greet, and sent regular updates for both my pets. I would definitely have her house sit again!”
“Karrie was fantastic! She stayed in our home, which helped our dogs feel comfortable and relaxed right away. She kept them on their usual routine, so we never had to worry while we were away. She was also a wonderful house guest and even washed dishes and bedding before she left. We couldn't have asked for better care and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“We were traveling for nearly two weeks and were understandably nervous about leaving our pets, but Jennifer was amazing and quickly put our minds at ease. She was responsive, communicative, and regularly sent photos and updates throughout our trip. What stood out most was that her daily updates included thoughtful observations about our pets' personalities and behavior, which made it clear she was spending quality time with them and getting to know them. It was so reassuring to know our senior dog and crazy cat were comfortable, happy, and well cared for while we were away. Jennifer also took great care of our home while we were gone, including watering our plants, which we really appreciated. We will absolutely be reaching out to Jennifer for our future pet-sitting needs, and highly recommend her to other anxious pet parents.”
“Erika is awesome with our puppy Lola. She has been timely, reliable and trustworthy. We feel comfortable and happy knowing our puppy is in safe hands! We have enjoyed getting to know and working with Erika and we would recommend her to other pet owners!”
“Lauren is amazing! She communicated regularly and sent pictures to us throughout our vacation. Our dog was well cared for and happy when we got home. We will absolutely book with Lauren again and recommend her to our friends!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals ever since i was a little girl. I started looking after pets at just 6 years old, and now at 17, I’ve had years of real hands-on experience. I grew up with my little dog Zeus, three sweet cats, and most recently I rescued a pit bull named Chico right off the streets. Because of that, I’m comfortable working with pets of all sizes and personalities. I’m great at walking and running dogs, giving baths, and most importantly, showing them love, comfort, and attention. I treat every animal like my own, and I always make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. My weekly routine looks like doing online school from 9am-2pm so i can be available after school on weekdays or on weekends i can typically do mornings better depending on your pets needs! I unfortunately do not have a yard but if your fur baby loves walks i have a lot of walking area. I always make sure pets feel safe, calm, and comfortable with me. I take time to build trust by moving at their pace, learning what they like, and giving them gentle attention. Whether I’m in your home or walking them outside, I create a positive, calm environment where your pet can relax and feel loved.
“James agreed to watch my puppy on short notice and he did a great job. He sent me text and photo updates of how my puppy was doing. I would highly recommend his services.”
“Thomas was amazing with our animals. So loving and kind, they were happy and healthy when we returned. He also took immaculate care of our apartment, it was clean and tidy when we returned!”
“hailey is the best! she was very communicative and caring while watching my 4 month old corgi. i always felt like rhubarb was safe with her and well taken care of. would absolutely love for hailey to watch her again!”
About: I have grown up having various pets, but mostly dogs my entire life. I have a love for all types of dogs and pets in general. I have a dog that I have raised since he was a puppy. I have trained him to do multiple tricks and to obley not only me, but anyone who tells him a command. I have dog sat for many friends and family members when they have been away. I do mot have a lot or Rover experice, but the dogs that i have met through here have made a lasting impression on me and I cannot wait to meet more! I currently have a home with three small dogs that get along great with others. Myvprefrace would be going on walks with dogs after work .
“Maryn did an amazing job taking care of my 2 dogs. When we returned the dogs were happy and the house was clean and neat. She is very responsive when you contact her. Great job!”
“Julia stayed at our house with our dog while we were out of town! She was great, would recommend & would have her house sit for us again! She sent photos, communicated promptly & left our home just the way she found it. We appreciate you Julia!”
About: Dogs have been a part of my family since I was a little girl, and caring for them has always been something close to my heart. Over the years, I’ve enjoyed helping neighbors, coworkers, friends, and family members with dog sitting and dog walking. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, and I would make it a priority in my daily and weekly routine. I understand the importance of keeping pets on their regular schedules for feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I would plan my schedule around each pet’s individual needs to ensure they receive dependable, compassionate care and feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I always make sure pets are comfortable and safe in my home and also in their home. I make to follow their regular routines for walking, feeding, playing and any other instructions their families provide. I know it’s hard for pets to be away from their families so it is my priority to give them the attention and love they need. Every pet gets treated like family so I want families to know their pet is in the hands of someone who is friendly, caring and dependable.

Rhonda is fantastic! We used her services to babysit our pet in our home. She played with him and took him on walks, and most importantly, gave him companionship in our absence. The only down side is that she's so busy, we cant book her as often as we would like.
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Kelsey! She watched my Chihuahua and my Maine Coon cat for 11 days while I was out of the country, and I felt completely confident that my fur babies were in great hands. Kelsey gave my Chihuahua plenty of love and attention every single day. She played with her and even sent me videos of her having a blast with her little squeaky toy. 🥰 She also made sure my cat stayed entertained with all of her electronic chasing toys. It was so reassuring to receive regular updates and see how happy and well cared for they both were. Kelsey sent me so many pictures and videos during the 11 days I was away. She also left me beautiful, detailed notes about the care she provided each day, which I really appreciated. And she didn’t just take care of my pets. She took wonderful care of my newly planted backyard garden too! Honestly, I think Kelsey may have a greener thumb than I do. 🌱🌻 When I came home, the house was clean, my bed was clean and ready for me, and most importantly, my pets were happy, healthy, and clearly loved. If you have high-maintenance pets who need lots of attention, playtime, and individualized care, I highly recommend Kelsey. She went above and beyond, and I would absolutely trust her with my fur babies again! ❤️🐾
During our dog’s final weeks, Kamila had become a constant in his life. Our dog required quite a bit of attention and care in his final days and Kamila was almost always available to hang out with him during the days while my husband and I were at work. She paid incredible attention to detail and sent me plenty of updates on how his days were that she spent with him. On our dog’s final full day before we had to put him to sleep, we needed a sitter that he knew well to hang out with him for a few hours while my husband and I were at work. I informed Kamila that it would be Finley’s last day so she could say her goodbyes. Kamila didn’t make us pay for that last house sit and even used her own money ti buy Finley a pup cup on her way over to stay with him. I think that instance in itself is why you should trust Kamila with your pet’s care. It truly proves that she does this because she loves it. I will forever be grateful for her during those times of need. Thank you for everything, Kamila 🤍
Jennifer did an excellent job taking care of our fur babies! Her communication was outstanding, and we loved all of the pictures and updates she sent while we were away. What we appreciated most were her detailed notes and thoughtful assessment of their behavior and interactions. This was especially helpful and reassuring because we have an Anatolian Shepherd, who can be a little tricky to read. Jennifer was very observant and took the time to understand his personality, body language, and comfort level, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our pups and paid attention to the little details. We felt completely confident knowing they were in such capable and caring hands. We would absolutely recommend Jennifer and will definitely use her again!
Tristin was great with our pups while we were away. She kept us updated with pictures and was patient with one of our dogs who take awhile to warm up to people. She also let our house in clean condition. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a good reliable sitter!

The average cost of House Sitting in Oaks is $40 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $62 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Oaks 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 Oaks 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 Oaks 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.

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.
