“I would highly recommend Kiana to anyone looking for a pet sitter. Based on the photos she sent and how happy our dog and cat were when we got home, I know they had a great time with her. Her communication was excellent from the first contact through to us returning home. And our house looked exactly as we left it - it’s so good to come home to a clean house and happy pets. Thank you, Kiana!”
“Rachelle was absolutely fabulous! Took Odie for walks and even took him to two different dog parks over the Weekend and sent lots of pics and updates plus I contacted her last minute she was flexible and quite frankly I was totally impressed with her handling of the dog and her 3&1/2 year old daughter was adorable with my dog as well. Highly recommend Rachelle”
“Carly took unbelievably loving and conscientious care of our small dog and large cat for an extended weekend. She gave us frequent updates with sweet pictures, asked us thoughtful clarifying questions about their feeding and care, and left the house absolutely immaculate. We are incredibly moved and will be booking Carly again!”
“Lauren is amazing! That was the longest we'd ever left our doofus pups, and it is clear they were loved the whole time. Lauren even befriended our cat who tends to be skittish around humans who are not us. We have never felt so comfortable leaving our animals - we know they are in good hands with Lauren!”
“Kieran was a fantastic dog and house sitter. Our dog Pando was happy and healthy and when we returned and the house was in perfect shape. Kieran was responsive and easy to communicate with before and during our trip. Thank you!”
About: I love all animals. I have a very active puppy that loves walks and I know that everyone’s lives get busy. I try and be available as needed but I also work full time. My pet care experience has mostly been with my own animals. Everyone is busy and tend to work long days. It sucks when you feel guilty for not spending time with your dog. Luckily with services like this you are free from guilt and know that your dog is being taken care of. I love having the option of someone walking my dog (especially after a very long day). If you are comfortable with it my dog also loves new friends and long walks. I try and walk my dog everyday. I work full time but have a flexible schedule to care for animals. I have two dogs but I split them with my ex and on those weeks, I’m extra available. I have a large condo that has access to lots of walking paths and nature. The animal would feel safe and comfortable at my home. I’m also able to go to your home and provide care (that can be easier for pets). I currently watch a lot of my friends dogs when they are out and have shown that I care for their space and animals.
“Kimberly did an awesome job caring for our dog and house while we were out of town. She stayed in touch, gave us updates about the dog and definitely gave him tons of love and playtime, and the house was immaculate when we returned.”
“We are just so happy with our experience with Sparkle. When we came back our dogs were so mellow and the home was nice and tidy. We can tell they were well loved. She sent updates and let me know how they were doing. I didn't worry once about them. Will be using her again in the future for sure!!”
“Jordyn was wonderful! Our dogs seemed very comfortable even during the first meet & greet. Jordyn is a great communicator, sent pics and let us know things were going well. Looking forward to our next trip knowing they will be in good hands!”
“She was so great. Dogs were really happy and she even trimmed our doodles eyes so she could see. We are behind schedule for her grooming. :) Would have her again anytime we need to seek out a dog sitter again in future if she’d have us as clients again 🦋”
“Frank took great care of my older dog while I was away for the weekend. They were thorough and thoughtful and sent great photo updates. I would recommend booking with them!”
“We recently had the pleasure of having Ian stay at our home for eight days to care for our high-energy golden retriever, Rufus (1 year, 10 months), and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the start, Ian struck the perfect balance of being laid-back and easygoing, while also responsible and attentive to detail. His communication throughout our trip was excellent—we always felt informed without being overwhelmed. It was clear he took great care in making sure Rufus’s needs were met. We felt completely confident that our dog was in good hands, which allowed us to truly enjoy an stress-free vacation, and we came home to a happy, healthy pup. We wouldn’t hesitate to have Ian back in the future and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter.”
About: I have cared for cats and dogs that both required medication, as well as for bunnies, cows, and chickens. I don’t have any specific certifications besides many years caring for different kinds of people and different kinds of pets. :) Hello! I currently live in Corvallis Oregon but I work remotely and love to be in Portland! I have flexibility to work from home but I do like to work at a coffee shop etc. my daily routine is a little different every day which gives me a little more flexibility for care although I do tend to socialize out of the house often. Also I house sit to be near friends and family and occasionally may have a visitor. If your animals are nervous around visitors I understand if I’m not the best fit! Happy to chat and see what your house and pets needs may be! Because the family I live with in Corvallis has a cat and a dog and no fence, I cannot bring animals to my home, but I can provide care via drop ins and/or house sitting.
“Teresa is an incredible dog and house sitter. She sat our critters (dog, cat, chickens, and gecko) while we were away on a short vacation. She made sure our pup was happy and secure while we were away. She secured the hens each night and made sure to turn on their light as needed. Teresa’s communication was incredible throughout the whole process. We trusted her completely and would strongly recommend get.”
“Grant was so flexible, communicative, and patient while I worked out the travel plans. Upon return home we came home to a very happy dog, cat, and garden. He went above and beyond to take care of our little family.”
“Charlie babysat my pups at the hotel when I visited Eugene for a late concert. He was very communicative and sent lots of pictures, as well as being soft and kind with my babies. I would definitely recommend and rebook when I'm in the area again!”
“Erin was great with Auggie! She stayed with him for 2 nights and we came home to a happy pup, and a clean house. I will definitely have Erin stay with Auggie again!”

It was an absolute pleasure to have Nate watch our dogs. Nate was very communicative from meet and greet to fulfilling watching our pups over the weekend. He was very willing to meet our needs and was warm and friendly. Nate is very down to earth. He meshed well with our pups, which put us at ease. Our pups were well cared for and he did a great job matching their energy levels (think little grandpa dog & horse sized dog). We would most definitely use Nate’s services again as well as highly recommended others book with Nate for care they can be confident in.
Jamie is an excellent pet and house sitter. He is reliable, a great communicator, and thorough. He follows my instructions with minimal need for reminders or oversight. Out of all of the sitters, I feel most comfortable leaving my best friend and house in his hands. Thank you!
Addy took exceptional care of our dogs and home while we were away for a long weekend. She brings genuine warmth and confidence to her work, and we had complete peace of mind throughout our trip. Her check-ins were always on time, and it was such a treat to receive photos of our happy pups. We came home to well-cared-for dogs and a tidy home. We couldn’t recommend Addy more highly!
Sydney has watched our two dogs twice now, and we couldn't be happier with the care she provides. She's an excellent communicator, keeping us updated while we're away, which gives us so much peace of mind. We always come home to two happy, healthy dogs and an incredibly clean house. It's clear she genuinely cares for our dogs and treats our home with respect. We highly recommend Sydney to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and trustworthy pet sitter.
Wonderful as always! this was a repeat petsitting gig because my cat was very well cared for the first time around :) Shelly is trustworthy, reliable, communicative, and always goes above and beyond. I'd absolutely recommend her, and will keep hiring her for my senior kitty's care!!

The average cost of House Sitting in Oatfield is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $93 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.

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 Oatfield 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 Oatfield 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 Oatfield 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
