Brittany took excellent care of our dogs. Upon return, the house was neat and cleaned up. One of our dogs loved her so much, he was visibly disappointed when we returned...😆 We will be using her again!

Martha was super friendly, super communicative and I didn't have to worry one bit. She took care of all of the fur babies and the house while I was gone for a week in Europe. I have 3 dogs and 2 cats so it's no easy task. She's very sweet, polite and professional. I highly recommend using her for any pet needs!

I entrusted Ami with my fur babies while my husband and I went out of town for a few days and she was wonderful!! Ami took great care of my babies and sent me updates throughout her stay at our home with them. I would have her watch them again and again if the need arises she is absolutely fantastic and very sweet! She went above and beyond while she stayed and my house was exactly as we left it. Ami was even kind enough to bring in our trash bins once trash was picked up. Thank you again Ami I know I left them in good hands and it made my time away so much less stressful knowing they had you to keep them company 😊

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 30 years and understand that every pet has its own personality and needs. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they were away. I provide dependable, attentive care and treat every dog like a member of my own family. Whether your pet is young and energetic or a senior who needs a gentler approach, I am committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I am also comfortable administering medications and following specific care instructions to ensure your pet receives the attention and support they need. As a full-time teacher, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and trust, and I bring those same qualities to caring for your pets. As a full-time teacher, I have a structured schedule and am available for pet care before and after school, on weekends, holidays, and during school breaks. I make time each day to provide pets with the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I understand the importance of consistency and reliability, and I am committed to keeping your pet’s routine as close to normal as possible. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or administering medications, I will ensure your pet receives loving and dependable care. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care requirements. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and individualized attention. Whether caring for your pet in your home or mine, I strive to provide a calm, clean, and safe environment where they feel comfortable and secure. I am attentive to each pet’s personality and needs and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

Brianna was amazing with my puppy and cat!! My puppy was always well behaved when left alone but while I was traveling she discovered a love of cardboard and Brianna was able to get to her quickly and make sure she couldn’t eat anymore of it. Brianna was also able to bond quickly with both of them, who are normally very shy and she was even able to take my puppy out for short walks (she’s normally very scared on walks). And the house was just as I left it! 10/10 would totally recommend!

Amy took care of our pack for a long weekend and we were so pleased with everything! We have four rescue dogs ranging in size from 15lbs to 95lbs, so our house can be hectic at times. Amy made a point to learn each dog’s quirks and really connect with them individually. Amy was very thorough during our meet and greet, asking lots of questions about the dogs, their needs, and their schedule. She was well prepared upon arrival and the dogs all took to her immediately! One of our dogs began limping while we were away and Amy immediately sent us videos and pictures so we could decide the best course of action. We decided to treat with meds that we had at home and Amy kept us updated as our pup recovered. Amy even texted the next week to check in and make sure our girl was feeling better! I can’t recommend Amy enough! She took great care of our dogs and home. She was very communicative and prepared. Everything we want in a sitter!

Brooke was phenomenal! She and our skittish little dog, Bingo, hit it off right away during a "meet & greet". She took great care of Bingo, sending us pictures & updates on a regular basis. we were able to fully enjoy our 10 day trip, knowing our home and fur baby were in such good hands. We will definitely want Brooke back the next time we leave town.

About: I am a lifelong dog lover with 5 years of hands-on experience working in a doggy daycare. During my time there, I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds and personalities through daycare, overnight boarding, feeding, medication administration, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention. This position strengthened my customer service experience, so I understand the importance of communication and keeping parents updated. Although I left the daycare to return to school, my passion for dogs never went away. Becoming a Rover sitter allows me to continue doing what I enjoy most. I strive to make any animal feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. Whatever your pup needs, I'd love to help! Thank you <3 I am currently working a full time job and am only available for your needs on the weekends, starting with Fridays at 4pm and ending on Sundays. These accommodations could be arranged if my work schedule aligns and there is a discussion had beforehand. If earlier arrangements are needed for Friday, I could offer a drop in visit. Just be aware that I am not available for uninterrupted house sitting until 4pm. Thank you. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would my own. I provide reliable, loving care and would keep up with your pet's normal routine. regular updates with photos will be provided at your request.

About: I grew up with a variety of dogs — a golden, dachshund, and Pomeranian. I think I’m well-equipped to handle a variety of them, and I understand each dog has its own idiosyncrasies that must be tended to. I’m virtually available whenever now that I’m finished with school and I’m eager to get started! As far as how pet care fits in my own regimen, I don’t neglect any of my dog’s needs and feed, water, and walk him everyday, and I can assure you there’s nothing to worry about when I care for yours! I genuinely enjoy being around dogs — being without one throughout college has made me realize how sorely I’ve missed having one, and I’ve recently taken on a new one! You won’t have to worry about a lack of attention — I love meeting and interacting with them, and, more importantly, you won’t have to worry about them wreaking havoc while you’re gone.

Elizabeth was verrry professional and living with my dog. We were gone for 5 days but I was at ease with her keeping Sully happy. The best thing was that she told us where we stood with her having washed her own sheets and towels. Where the key was and garage door opener. She was top notch!

Great & Responsible sitter. Was so lucky to find him after another sitter unexpectedly cancelled. Would only ask that there was more communication & pictures while we were gone but other than that him and his girlfriend did an amazing job.

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since i was a kid. At about 10 years old and I knew I wanted to do that for a living. I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for and play with your pups or kitty’s. I have an open and flexible schedule. I only care for pets by what's best for the animal in any home. Pets in my home or my clients shall be taking care of with love and respect as if they were my own.

FAQs for House Sitting - Oakville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Oakville on Rover is $37.45 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 494 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Oakville. 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 Oakville 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 Oakville 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 Oakville 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Oakville. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
