“Tasha was wonderful to work with. She was very responsive and it was easy to coordinate with her. She sent daily updates, pictures and videos and was great with my pup. Will def use her again!”
“There’s nothing better than coming home to your dog after a long trip especially when he’s calm and relaxed because he was well taken care of. Juan allowed me this joy. It was the first time I’ve used him and Romeo took to him right away. Juan updated me daily and was responsive to messages. He also left my house in great condition. Thank you for taking care of my baby. We’ll be seeing you again!!”
“Absolutely fabulous! She is an outstanding communicator, sent tons of pictures, and took great care of an old dog and a neurotic one. 10000% would recommend and use again! 💕”
“Korrey watched our animals for two whole weeks, so we could go on a much-needed long vacation. He did a great job of caring for the animals & even wrangled all 3 of them to the vet for a routine visit. He loved them like they were his own. It was a relief to know they were given such good care & love. He was conscientious, communicative, & kept us up-to-date. We were fortunate to have his big open-hearted help.”
“Kelley is very professional and reliable. Your pets will love her and you can feel confident that they are well attended while you travel. I strongly commend Kelley to you!”
“Kayly is AMAZING!!! She house sat for us and always communicated through texts and pics to let us know how our doggo was doing. She took Rizzo for walks around the neighborhood, played fetch with her, snuggled; all the things our dog loves :) She went above and beyond and we will absolutely be reaching out to Kayly again when we are away.”
“We had an amazing experience! She took such great care of Max and kept us updated the whole time, which gave us so much peace of mind. Max was happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. We are so grateful and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend! 🐾🤍”
“Raven is an amazing pet and house sitter! We’ve worked with Raven multiple times now, and it’s such a huge relief to have someone we trust caring for our pup while we are away. Raven always is proactive in her communication & clearly always has the best interests of our dog in mind. We already have our next booking set up and look forward to welcoming Raven into our home again!”
“Orianna was wonderful. Tater Tot felt very comfortable with her. He ran to her when she came to the door. She stayed overnight at our house and was a model guest! She even offered to take the trash out with her. How thoughtful.”
“Stevie took excellent care of my dogs and left the house in great shape. She sent regular updates and was very responsive. I would not hesitate to work with her again!”
“Thao was amazing!!!! She took great care of our boy and gave him lots of exercise and attention. She was extremely communicative and sent lots of pictures and videos. We would absolutely use her again in the future.”
“Landrum was a life saver! He took excellent care of my dog while I was an away on a last minute trip - he even extended his stay when something came up - that really saved me! Not only was he helpful in accommodating my emergency travel plans, but he took such good care of Bowie and sent lots of photos. It look like they were having a blast - I could see Bowie was truly happy. Really puts your mind at ease when you know your pets are in good hands. Would definitely recommend!!!”
“Ajia was amazing with our two boys. She is very communicative, leaving us with no worries during our trip, super responsive to our messages and took great care of my apartment. I think we found our permanent walker.”
“Another great time having Kaylee house/dog sit for my two little pups. Couldn’t ask for a more caring and trustworthy individual to leave my home and dogs in the care of. Thank you, Kaylee!”
“Anne-Kirk was wonderful with our two young, very active puppies. She kept them on a regular potty schedule, she engaged them, and she tired them out during an evening of house sitting--just as we requested. Anne-Kirk was great!”
“Anya did a great job sitting our dog Muchlee. This was our first timing leaving her in a while and Anya kept us updated. She also took great care of our apartment and left it absolutely spotless.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Oakwood
I have a very fussy border collie who requires a lot of care, love, and exercise. Chloe immediately bonded with Lou and kept me up to speed on how Lou was doing while she stayed w Lou for an overnight. (She also took complicated directions on where to take Lou to get her a lot of exercise.) I feel tremendously comfortable with her taking care of Lou and staying at my house for an overnight. Highly recommend Chloe.
Can we leave more stars? Nicole was exceedingly kind and very patient with our three pups…able to break down barriers very quickly. Their comfort levels grew with each day, and two of them are sensitive poodle mixes! She kept us regularly informed of their well-being, and this was such a comfort to us. We came home to a tidy and clean house with three happy dogs. She was truly exceptional as a dog and house-sitter. The fact that she’s so highly rated is no surprise to us now. What a find!
Tasha did a wonderful job with our 2 young puppies. We requested house sitting while we enjoyed an evening out to ensure our puppies were kept on a potty schedule and to keep them from being crated too long before bedtime. Flynn and Toffee are happy to see Tasha and Mike when they come to visit. They play with them, keep them engaged, and send pictures to capture their time together. We came home to tired puppies which is a key indicator of a successful evening. We look forward to Tasha's next visit with our boys!
Ajia was great and so responsive and attentive while dog sitting at our house. We really appreciated her frequent updates and the care she provided to our dog and our house! It gave me great peace of mind while we were gone and left our rescue pup that we only have had for 3 weeks in her care.
We had a great experience! Zosha took great care of our dog while we were away, sent us updates, and was very communicative throughout the weekend. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing our pup was comfortable and had someone there with him. He also took amazing care of our house and left everything absolutely spotless, exactly how we left it. We really appreciated it and would definitely book with Zosha again!
Amber couldn’t have been a better pet sitter. I have two cats and two dogs and all of them have strong personalities. Amber went above and beyond to take good care of them, including climbing a fence to get one of my cats out of a tree. She was very communicative, and she sent lots of pictures that gave me comfort. My cats and dogs looked happy and healthy throughout my entire trip, which was nearly 2 weeks. When I came home, I found that she had left me a very nice note, and everything was as I had left it. I will definitely use Amber again.
Anna was amazing! She watched Bella for an entire week, and I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such great hands. She sent me photos and updates throughout the week, and I could tell Bella was happy and having the best time with her. Anna was incredibly thoughtful and took such great care of both Bella and my home. She even washed the towels she used and my sheets before I got home, which was absolutely not necessary but was so sweet and appreciated! I would absolutely recommend Anna and would happily have her watch Bella again!

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 Oakwood 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 Oakwood 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Oakwood 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.
