Monica stayed at our home with our fur babies (2 dogs and 3 cats) for a few days over the 4th of July this year and she was amazing. She send us lots of updates, photos and videos throughout her stay, and made sure we knew they were all doing well. We were so nervous about leaving our babies over the holiday with all the fireworks, but she handled their medication and let them snuggle with her and ensured they were safe. So grateful for her and will definitely use her again!

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!

Jessica is the BEST! It was the first time having somebody take care of our dog, and my wife and I were really nervous at first, but after meeting Jessica, we knew our dog was in great hands. She texted us with updates, pictures, and communicated with us the entire time. We will definitely have Jessica watch our dog in the future. Thank you, Jessica!

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and recently raised and trained my own dog from puppyhood, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I work from home, which means your pup will get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and of course lots of cuddles! I genuinely love being around dogs and spending time outdoors, whether that’s going for a walk, a hike, or just hanging out together. I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own and make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. ☺️ I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I can give your pet lots of attention throughout the day. I’m very active and love to walk, so your dog will get plenty of exercise and outdoor time. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I stick to their usual routines—like feeding times, walks, and play—and always make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions to keep your pet happy and stress-free while you’re away.

If I could give Alyssa more than 5 stars, I would. She truly came to our rescue after a friend canceled on us the night before we had to leave for a funeral out of state. We were scrambling to find someone we could trust with our two cats and our dog on incredibly short notice, and Alyssa stepped in without hesitation. What started as an incredibly stressful situation turned into one where we were able to travel with complete peace of mind because of her. From the very beginning, her communication was outstanding. She kept us updated throughout our trip, sent thoughtful messages and lots of wonderful photos, and it was obvious she genuinely enjoyed spending time with our pets—not just checking boxes. Every update made us smile and reassured us that they were in the best hands. The biggest compliment I can give is that when we came home, our pets were happy, relaxed, and acting completely like themselves. Anyone who has pets knows they can become clingy or anxious after you're gone, but it was clear they had received so much love, attention, and affection that they weren't attention-starved at all. Alyssa treated them like family, and that means everything to us. On top of that, our home was exactly as we left it—clean, organized, and well cared for. She treated all our pets and our home with genuine respect. I know Alyssa is a newer sitter, but don't let that make you hesitate for a second. She is dependable, compassionate, communicative, and truly goes above and beyond. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and will absolutely be booking with her again. If you're looking for someone who will care for your pets as if they were her own, Alyssa is the person you want.

About: I personally own 1 dog and 5 cats and owned many more before and they all lived long happy lives. Dogs are puppies to me, regardless their age. I also used to volunteer at a pet shelter - my duties included walking, feeding, cleaning kennels and socializing stray or feral animals so they could be adopted out to loving homes I would preferably take clients during weekdays but depending on dates and frequency I’d be open to some weekends as well, contact me to discuss further details I am willing to send photo/video updates to the owner(s) about their pets every day - morning routines, feeding, walk and play times, dinner time etc.

We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog and cat received! From the start, Yeilin was reliable, communicative, professional, and clearly loves animals. Our dog was happy, well-exercised, and relaxed when we came home, and our cat, who can be quite difficult was calm and content. Yeilin provided great communication throughout the entire experience, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It’s such a relief knowing our pets were treated like family. We highly recommend Yeilin's services to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional pet sitter. Five stars all the way!

We cannot recommend Shannon enough! From the moment we met, it was clear she was not only a true animal lover but also someone who takes her responsibility seriously. She stayed in our home while we were away and treated both our dogs and our space with the utmost care and respect. Our pups were clearly so well-loved and happy — we received regular updates and could see how comfortable and content they were. What truly sets Shannon apart is her kindness, attention to detail, and the genuine love she has for animals. She made our time away completely stress-free, and we came home to happy dogs and a spotless house. We trust her hands down, no questions asked, and will absolutely be reaching out for future trips. Thank you for everything!

FAQs for House Sitting - Oban

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Oban on Rover is $52.17 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 289 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Oban. On Rover:

  • 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 91% 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.
