“Alyssa was fantastic. We just arrived home to two very happy pups. Alyssa did a wonderful job taking care of our dogs and the house was immaculate. She was communicative and provided updates and photos. Would definitely recommend her.”
“Amy was the best sitter we could imagine to take care of our home and 2 fur babies! It was our first time using rover and she made us feel so comfortable with constant communication, pictures and updates throughout her stay. She treated our pets and our house like her own and we will 100% book her to watch them for any future travel we have!”
“Alphine took such incredible care of our dog, Luna, and our cat, Dullahan! She was clearly comfortable with larger dogs and even went above and beyond to walk Luna despite our complicated requests around her leash reactivity. It was easy to communicate with Alphine throughout our trip and we felt confident our pets were in good hands because of it. Alphine also took incredible care of our home. We can’t recommend her enough!!”
“Diane is fabulous! Thank you so much for the great care you took of the dogs. Great communication and pictures. House was well taken care of. I hope to ask Diane to watch them again soon!”
“Chevaughn did an amazing job! One of my dogs (Toffee) is 'very' skittish & does not warm up to new people well (it often takes weeks - sometimes months - for people just to be able to pet her). However, when we did the first meet & greet, Toffee was curious & got close enough to sniff him, which I thought was a great sign. But then... Chevaughn was actually able to pet her before leaving. She was wary, but let him. It kinda shocked me a bit. We had met with 2 other potential sitters & Toffee wouldn't get near them. With one of them, she wouldn't even come inside the house from the yard, not even for a treat, so long as the lady was there. Chevaughn has great energy, though. He was calm & assertive, moved gently around Carlee & Toffee, and they both became fast friends with him. While we were away, he even sent video of her licking his hand. That was a huge deal... Chevaughn was reliable, on time, consistent & most importantly, he is kind. Next time we need a sitter, he's our guy and I highly recommend him for taking care of your pups..”
About: I've taken care of animals my whole life, from wildlife rehabilitation to training adopted dogs and cats from the side of the road, I've seen it all. Let me know if you need any help pet sitting or walking! I work as a music teacher and performer, weekdays are often the best for me but let me know what you need and I'll see what I can do! We have 11 acres including four acre field, one dog, two cats, and a rescue mini pig that all love each other and love making friends.
“Nicole stepped in and was able to help us out with a last minute sit for our cat and dog. They loved having her stay with them and were well taken care of. We came home to a spotless home and happy pets! We would definitely use Nicole again!”
“Our pup is not usually 'open to new relationships' but she quickly warmed up to Claire. The weather posed significant challenges during Claire's stay but she managed everything with aplomb. Great job!”
“Paola did a wonderful job staying at our home with our dog for a week while we were out of town. We were grateful to find her and will no doubt ask her to stay again in the future.”
About: I’ve been my neighborhood pet sitter since I was 8 years old, and since coming to college I’ve missed being around so many furry friends! I have two cats, Casper and Toothless, who I love dearly and have taught to do fun tricks like sitting and spinning. I grew up taking care of all kinds of dogs from German shepherds to jack russel terriers to Pomeranians—and other animals like ferrets and fish—so know that your loved ones will be well-cared for! I am a graduate student taking only four classes, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pet! I can do early mornings, mid-afternoons, and evenings—whatever your furry friend needs. I believe that one of the most important parts of caring for your pets is creating and maintaining a trusting relationship with both them and you. For home access protocol, I always securely store keys, ensure all doors and windows are locked before leaving, and arm/disarm any security systems as needed. I have a list of nearby emergency vet information and will work with you to determine a procedure in the case of an emergency. Finally, I will always ensure your pets won’t try escaping by checking gates/doors to ensure they are properly shut before they roam. My two cats love the outdoors so I’m very familiar with making sure they don’t become escape artists!
“Savanna has always been wonderful with our pup. We’ve used her several times now and feel very comfortable knowing our girl is in good hands with her! We have a pretty shy dog and she takes a while to warm up to people, but it’s clear that she loves Savanna and is very comfortable around her. Savanna sends updates (with pics!) daily and takes good care of our home too. I highly recommend Savanna!”
“This was my first time leaving my senior dog at home while I was out of town and it was amazing. Olivia is responsible and caring, and I hope that she is available the next time I need care because I would ask her to care for my dog again before looking for any other option. Thank you Olivia!”
“Alexys was quick to respond and easy to work with. She took great care of my pets, one of whom is blind and has a lot of special needs. She sent me photos throughout the day and I could tell my two Frenchies loved her care and attention. Helpful, professional, trustworthy and caring. I had great peace of mind leaving my dogs with Alexys.”
“Kelsey did an INCREDIBLE job looking after my sweet Essie Mae. Her communication was excellent with lots of texts, pics and updates. It was very obvious, especially from ome of the pics, that Essie truly connected with Kelsey and loved having her as her care taker. We'll definitely use Kelsey again!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a little girl and I currently have a golden retriever who I’d do anything for! It is so important to me that I keep your animals safe and happy as if they were my own. I am on summer break from university so I will be home full time to care for your pets and give them the attention they deserve! I am ready to accommodate any pet that is in my care with long or short walks, playtime, and petting time as well. I can follow special instructions and provide plenty of pictures of your loved one while I’m watching them.
“We had a wonderful experience with Christina as our dog sitter! She did an amazing job taking care of our two dogs and went above and beyond to ensure they were comfortable and happy. Christina was attentive, responsible, and even took care of cleaning up a few accidents without hesitation. Our dogs were well cared for, and we appreciated the thorough communication and updates while we were away. We highly recommend Christina for anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Mardi did an incredible job taking care of our cats and home while we were away for a week! She followed our instructions perfectly, sent regular updates and photos, and left our house in even better condition than when she arrived. I’m usually a little anxious about leaving the cats when we travel, but I was able to relax and enjoy our trip knowing everything was safe in her hands. I will absolutely book her again the next time we need a cat sitter!”
About: Hi, I have a passion for animals and I make sure they are well cared for! I go the extra mile to make sure they don’t feel sad while you are away. Hi! I am a mom of 3 and a nanny but I still pet sit. Sometimes I have to bring my kids and the kids I care for with me. I make sure they don’t damage anything. They are pampered with plenty of love! I treat them as part of the family and make sure to take pictures to send to the family.
About: Ive grown up with animals my whole life, I started walking my family dog and cleaning up after my family cats when I was pretty young and Ive been doing it ever since! I take care of my own dog, and I have also had experience house sitting and dog walking for friends and neighbors. Im currently in school at Alamance Community College, and I have class 9-5 every Tuesday and Thursday. Other than that and the occasional appointment I am pretty open :) I like to follow a timely schedule with my dog (when I feed her, when I walk her, when I take her out, etc.) But of course it isn’t always perfect, and I am willing to adapt to any specific instructions/ guidelines.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Oaks
Amy was amazing and I am confident she treated my 2 dogs and 2 cats better than I do. She got one of my dogs to chase a ball, which I have never been able to do. She stayed with mu furry clan and I returned to an immaculate house. I could not recommend Amy enough and will definitely request her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Oaks is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $48 and $88 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. 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 November 2026, there are 2,068 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Oaks. 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Oaks. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
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.
