“Jayda was awesome, we have a dog who stresses out a lot and can’t go anywhere. So it was important to have someone come to the house and stay. We highly recommend her and will use her again.”
“Julia is an absolute delight! She oozes kindness and trustworthiness! She is responsible and I never had to worry about my dogs when I was away! Julia and her husband stayed at our home and brought their sweet pup to play with our dogs, per my suggestion!! She took our dogs to a closeby trail for walks each day! We will definitely choose her as our doggy sitter for all of our future trips! Highly recommend!!!!”
“Hallie was great with our emotionally needy little dachshunds. She communicated great with us before and during her time with them. We appreciated the pics and ongoing updates! Would not hesitate to use her again”
“Jesse did an amazing job at caring for our lab. He let us know when she began having a health issue and proactively addressed it so it didn’t get out of hand. We felt confident that our pet and home would be well cared for during our vacation. Thank you Jesse!”
“Very professional and trustworthy. Tyler sent numerous pictures of our dog and kept us informed on how the weekend was going. We felt 100% comfortable with Tyler staying in our home! We would definitely recommend Tyler for any dog sitting service you may need.”
“Sketcher did great housesitting our anxious 2 yr old dog and 11 yr old indoor cat. She was good at communicating promptly during booking and during the stay. We came home to happy pets and everything was as expected.”
“Laycie was absolutely wonderful with our pup, Loki! She was incredibly communicative throughout her stay and sent us daily pictures, which made our day to see how much fun he was having! Laycie was also respectful of our space and left everything incredibly clean and tidy. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and communicative sitter—we would absolutely book with her again!”
“Camryn was fantastic. We needed a house/dog sitter for our 9.5 year old dog. She was caring, kind, thoughtful and took very good care of our dog while we were gone. She left our house clean with towels and bedding washed. You couldn’t even tell she had been there. If you are looking for a responsible and trustworthy person to look after your pets or home I can’t recommend Camryn enough.”
“Ashley did an amazing job with our two sweet dogs. We have a doberman and a pit bull and they are both super friendly she and they got along right away. She also helped us out last minute. We can't thank her enough for the great job.”
“Super sweet and such a pleasure to work with! She kept me updated on when she was heading over and even arrived 10 minutes early, which I really appreciated. Communication was excellent the entire time, and she sent me a video of my pups while I was away, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was responsible, thoughtful, and even brought her own food (even though I told her to make herself at home). I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring. 🐾💛”
“Jeff was great! He housesat and took care of our cat for 5 days - he provided updates to us and always responded quickly to any messages. I would not hesitate to work with Jeff again and would highly recommend him to others.”
“Olivia is a wonderful pet/house sitter. She goes above and beyond when she is with my 1 dog and 2 cats. My dog was recently sick, and she has helped by cooking his food and being on top of his new diet. She always sends pictures and stays in touch when she is sitting. I trust her completely and I am grateful to have found her here on Rover.”
About: I have always grown up with pets: 3 dogs, 1 cat, and a beared dragon. I have helped train a puppy, cared for a dying senior dog, and everything in between. I have experience with pets who have high energy, anxiety, dietary needs, and physical disabilities. Family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me to pet sit, drop in, provide over night care, and walk their dogs. I have worked at a dog groomer for over 2 years, which has given me experience with a wide variety of animals and their temperaments. I’m a full time student at Clemson University who has most afternoons/ evenings and weekend free to care for your pets! I am studying wildlife conservation so spending time with animals is one of my favorite things to do! Following instructions, I can care for your pet however you direct me to. I am comfortable taking your dog for walks/ hikes, playing indoors and outdoors, dosing medications, keeping up with training, and providing all the love and comfort your pet will need while you are away!
About: Hi there! I’m Journey, a senior at Clemson University. I plan on using any proceeds I get for any and all college funds. Thank you so much for helping out 🤎 I’ve taken care of my neighbors pets for around 5 years. Clemson, I have made friends that also have pets and I have been the go to to care for them when they are away. I have four dogs of my own, three at my family‘s house and one here at Clemson. They have all types of pets, from dogs and cats, to bird and lizards, horses, and a guinea pig. They have always relied on my to make sure their pets are happy, healthy, and well taken care of for hours, days, or sometimes weeks. I start university in late August, however, throughout the week, especially on weekends I am available to give your pets the proper care, love, and support they want, need, and deserve! I currently cannot have pets over my home, however that does not mean that I will care for your dogs any differently then how I care for my own. I will comfort them, play, feed and water, walk, and anything extra that your pet may need or want :)
About: I have always loved animals and have grown up caring for them, whether they were my own pets or those of friends and family. I'm very experienced in caring for different pet personalities and will take every step to make sure your pets are comfortable and well cared for. I especially have experience caring for senior pets who may need medication. I also enjoy walking and will make sure your dogs get all the exercise and playtime they need to stay happy and healthy. Caring for pets means a lot to me, and I would love the opportunity to care for your pets, whether they're a cat or a dog. I currently work Monday through Thursday, but I am available to watch your pets Friday through Sunday. I will also be starting school in two weeks, and my schedule will be much more flexible then. I can walk your dogs around your neighborhood or play with them in your home and yard. Your dogs will never go unsupervised and I will do what you are comfortable with.

FAQs for House Sitting - Oakway
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Oakway on Rover is $29.97 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 311 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Oakway. 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 Oakway 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 Oakway 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 Oakway 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 Oakway. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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.
