“Melissa did a great job. Dogs were happy and cared for. She even watered our flowers. She sent pics if the dogs with updates while we were gone . When we got home it was very much the way we left it . We and the dogs look forward to her next stay .”
“I think my dogs said it best with their buttons while Shannon was watching them, “happy love you!” Not only did Shannon communicate often, but she sent pictures and videos so I could see just how happy my pups were. They have asked for her by pressing their “Shannon” button every day since she left, so we will definitely be having her over again soon!”
“Elton had a fantastic time! 🖤 She kept me updated throughout the entire booking and sent pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear Elton was well cared for, comfortable, and getting lots of attention. I really appreciated her communication, kindness, and how attentive she was to his needs. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Monica did a great job housesitting and watching Baby while I was out of town for a couple of days. My dog was comfortable around her and that helped me relax knowing he was in good hands. I will definitely reach out to her next time I’m looking for a house sitter.”
About: I am well experienced with puppies, seniors, and large groups—15 puppies, 20 cats, and mixed breeds. I provide calm, structured, loving care for every pet.

I provide daily feeding, regular walks, outside potty breaks, indoor puppy pad changes, backyard cleanup, and can arrange grooming to keep pets clean, healthy, and comfortable.
“Kristine did a wonderful job caring for all of our pets! We have two dogs, a cat, and two hens -- and she took wonderful care of them while we were gone. She sent photos and videos every day, and let us know when they were fed. I never worried about them because she kept us updated so well. I will definitely be turning to Kristine to take care of our pets in the near future!”
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. I have experience (professional and personal) with dogs as a veterinary assistant. I am currently working full time with availability on weekends. I’m looking to expand my education in various fields & wish to pay for it myself. I live in an apartment and can easily crate pets 20 pounds and under. I’m comfortable with lots of belly rubs and walking around neighborhoods.
About: I used to be the president of an animal rescue called Secondhand Animals. Between running an animal rescue and owning dogs, cats, fish, turtles and hamsters all my life, I am very knowledge about animals, what they can and cannot eat, sickness, medications and what to look out for. I am completely set up for X-Large to X-small dogs, and the animals in my home are very friendly to other animals. If not we have several other rooms in the house, where we can keep a guest by themselves in order to not stress the out so much. We also just had a dog run built. I am currently working full-time, but I do go home during lunches and am home in the evenings and weekends. I also have help, if it is needed. I have a fenced in yard, and a dog run with it's own fencing. Every evening I sit out on the deck, and try to engage with my animals. I say try because they do not know what fetch is, but they understand keep-away. We also enjoy taking car rides and walks.
About: I have 3 dogs, the oldest is 16, 7, 3 years old. They are furry family members that we love dearly!!! I can pet sit any age and love to cuddle and also taking them for walks. I have no problem picking up after them. I’m a Trusted Pet Sitter Who Treats Your Dog Like My Own! ❤️ I currently work from home so I can work from anywhere to keep your pups company while you work. Weekends and nights can be discussed. I can pet sit from your home to not make big changes to your best friend that way they can stay in their own environment, caring for them following your specific instructions.
“Brigitte is a dog whisperer! She became fast friends with our anxious pup and took great care of him (and our house) while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for more…she’s the best!”
“Lexy did a great job taking care of Mal and our home while we were away. We really appreciated her updates. I would definitely recommend her to others and will use her again when we are in need. Thanks!”

I’m very flexible & my schedule is very open no matter what, so if you need someone to check on your pets. walk them or even take care of them for the night i’ll be there ! :) I do have three dogs in my house but they are very sweet! & my whole backyard is gated! but if you prefer your animal inside that would not be a problem at all!
“Kimberly did a great job. She had to manage two large dogs over three days. The house and the pups were well cared for. I asked Kimberly to abide by some fairly strict rules with the dogs in order to manage their high-energy and potential anxiety and she did an excellent job. Kimberly have our pups multiple daily walks, administered pet medication, and maintained the security of the house. I strongly recommend Kimberly for your pet/house sitting needs.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Oban
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Oban on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of June 2026, there are 307 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Oban. 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 Oban 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 Oban 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 Oban 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.

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.
