“Delaney was excellent! From the very first communication she was kind, friendly and when she came to meet the dogs it was clear that she loved them and they loved her. She house sat for 3 nights. She sent photos through out the stay. The house was very clean and the dogs and our bunny were very happy and taken care of. We will definitely use her again!!!!”

About: I have never lived in a household without pets, and I would never want it any other way. I love animals fiercely, and I adore taking care of them. I even briefly made a career out of it with Riverbend Pet Center, where I worked as a boarding and doggy day care attendant. Though my struggles with management eventually caused us to part ways, I have sought working with animals ever since! I am punctual and detail oriented, and my time professionally caring for animals has given me plenty of experience with different personalities, needs, and medications. I've even successfully administered injectable medications, thanks to my time job shadowing with State Avenue Veterinary Hospital. I've worked with everything from puppies who were still learning their names, to old dogs who needed help standing to go to the bathroom. Cats are no issue for me either, I'm a cat person through and through and would love the opportunity to spend time with your fur baby! I'm well versed in animal body language too, and will easily learn the boundaries and needs of your pet too! I'm currently working mornings in Centralia, so afternoons are ideal for me, usually any time after 12 PM. It's worth noting, however, that Safeway is finicky with hours, and my availability will vary a little from week to week. Please feel free to reach out and ask about scheduling, even if you fall outside of my normal window! Though I live out in Mossyrock, the commute I already make for work makes driving to you and your pet no problem at all for me! I live about a 5 minute walk from a beautiful park, where I often take walks and runs, and I would be thrilled to take your baby along with me! I'm also a hiker, and would be more than happy to take a plus one on an adventure if they're the type to enjoy it! As I already have cats of my own, my home is already pet proofed and stocked with plenty of blankets, treats, and toys. I even keep my living room wide open to allow for plenty of room for play! I'm well-versed in animal body language too, and will pick up quickly if something is wrong or your baby isn't feeling well. You can trust me to keep them safe, cozy, and well cared for! As a pet-owner myself, I know the importance of checking in with your pet when you're away, as well as the need for pictures of the memories we make! I make a point to snag as many cute pictures as I can-- to keep you in the loop, and to keep memories of the friends I've made!

About: Completed provided training and volunteered at the Animal shelter I’m comfortable providing insulin shots or oral medications as needed I can do basic hand and commands at your request to be continuous in the training of dogs. Often referred to as the animal whisperer with over 30 years experience of loving and caring for my own and other pets including cats, dogs, hamsters, fish, bearded dragon, goats, horses, cows and turtles. My calm demeanor can aid even tho most anxious of animals. I believe animals make our lives better and would welcome the opportunity to walk and play with your pets. Caring for them like they were my own but with your needs in mind. Let me know what you need and I’m sure we can work it out. Sprocket and I love being outside. Dog walks are awesome when he too can tag along. Only with prior permission. Rovering is how i spend my days with regular clients and fitting in others where feasible. Sprocket has a small backyard for play but prefers to go for car rides in his crate for new adventures. We play both indoor and out door games. correction is made with positive reinforcement.

About: I grew up with all sorts of pet friends: frogs, geckos, dogs, and cats. From a year long pet sitting gig to one of my regulars that has geese and ducks! Let me know how I can provide peace of mind to your family while you're away. My work from home position and my Wednesday-Sunday work schedule gives me a unique position that most others cannot provide. I am home bound for work during typical "social days" and love to have pets of all kinds as my coworkers! Everyone's needs are different. I personally have two indoor cats that I would never let out. But, I know others who have an outdoor cat they take on walks. Understanding that each pet has a different personality, routines, and temperament is the key to making sure everyone's needs are met.

About: I’m dependable, attentive, and respectful of your home. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving both your pets and your home in someone else’s care, and I take that seriously. I’m comfortable in just about any animal-loving household, whether that means caring for dogs and cats, looking after horses, cows, chickens, or rabbits, or making sure the houseplants are happy, too. I enjoy getting to know each animal and their individual personalities, routines, and needs. If there’s something specific your pet needs, I’m happy to learn and make sure their care stays consistent while you’re away. I also have a VERY friendly, 50-pound Goldendoodle of my own who loves cats and other dogs! In the right circumstances, and with everyone’s comfort and approval, I could potentially bring her along for some playtime with another dog. However, in most cases, she stays home with my husband while I house sit, allowing me to give your pets my full attention the same way I would want someone to treat my dog when I was away! Bottom line, your pets deserve the same love and care they are used to while you are gone and I will do my very best to make sure they get that! I do occasionally need to leave the home for everyday errands, appointments, or occasional meetings. On average, you can expect me to be away for approximately four hours per day, with the rest of my time dedicated to caring for your pets and home. Your home is your personal space, and I treat it with the same care and respect I would my own. When house sitting, my priority is keeping your pets comfortable and maintaining their normal routines in the environment they know and feel safe in. I’m mindful of home security, keeping doors and gates secured, following your instructions, and making sure your pets are safe and accounted for. I’ll keep things tidy, bring in mail and packages, water plants, and take care of the little details that make a difference while you’re away. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust. I take that responsibility seriously and want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your home and the animals you love are in caring, dependable hands. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away without worrying about what’s happening at home.

“Exceptional! That's the word that perfectly encapsulates our experience with Adam. He came through for us at the eleventh hour when our initial dog sitter canceled, stepping in to care for our furry family members during the Christmas break. His presence didn't just put our minds at ease; it filled our hearts with gratitude. With a 4-year-old Havanese and a 15-year-old mini-Labradoodle, leaving our dogs, especially our elderly one, with a relative stranger was nerve-wracking. However, Adam's dedication and understanding of our pets' needs transformed our apprehension into trust. He not only stayed in our home but also surpassed all expectations by keeping us updated multiple times a day. His regular messages, complete with photos and videos, allowed us to witness firsthand the happiness of our girls. Administering medication to our Labradoodle was no easy feat, but Adam's commitment shone through as he took the time to learn her preferences and comfort zones. Remarkably, our senior dog ate well under his care, something she rarely does in our absence. Adam tailored his walks to suit our doodle's energy levels, demonstrating an unparalleled level of attentiveness. Adam's thoughtfulness extended beyond pet care; he attended to household chores, from taking out the garbage to refreshing the sheets and tidying up the house. Though we missed our beloved pups, the peace of mind knowing they were content and cherished made it the greatest gift of the season. I wholeheartedly endorse Adam to anyone seeking a trustworthy, conscientious, and genuinely caring pet sitter.”

About: I’m home Monday–Friday and available on weekends with advance notice. I live in Beachcrest, with a private trail to the beach and plenty of dog-friendly parks nearby. If your pet loves exploring, they’ll have plenty of opportunities for beach adventures, walks, and play! My home has a large deck and yard, though the yard is unfenced. Pets often enjoy sunbathing on the deck or checking out my fish ponds. I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for family, friends, and colleagues for as long as I can remember. I have experience with pet first aid, medication administration, and senior animals, and I’ll care for your pet with the same love and attention I give my own. My goal is to make your pet feel right at home. I'm very flexible so just message me and I can find a time to accommodate you. Whether it's early morning or late at night. I'll be there! Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and keeping pets comfortable in their normal routine. When I arrive, I like to have a little pow-wow with the pets and, yes, I sometimes have conversations with them. 😂 I’ll always make sure they have clean bowls, fresh food and water, and plenty of potty breaks, along with any walks, medications, or special care they need. Most importantly, I want every pet to feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away.

“Alexis was absolutely amazing. She house sat for us and took care of our dog (with special behavioral needs) and our cat for 10 days. The pets were so happy when we returned, it was as if we had never left. We could tell they were well cared for. She was tidy and well communicative. It was also incredibly helpful that she did a meet and greet before with our pup just to ensure things ran smoothly before we departed for our trip. We felt very secure while away and will definitely be contacting her in the future! She is the absolute sweetest.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Oakville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 475 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 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 Oakville. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.
