Alison knocked it out of the park once again! She house sat our precious Sherman for 5 nights and did a fabulous job! We never have to worry about him receiving excellent care while we are away. She is the absolute best!!!

John was on time. He was very kind. He and our sweet Savannah bonded and has a great weekend. He completed walks and feedings. He assisted with her vitamin. We will plan to use him again and would highly recommend him.

About: I’ve been lucky enough to have grown up with many pets from a very young age. I have over 15 years of experience with both dogs and cats, providing walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and lots of attention. I’m patient, dependable, and make it a priority to follow each pet’s routine so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I also love sending regular updates and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for! My schedule is currently very flexible, so I’m able to accommodate walks, drop ins, and pet sitting throughout the week while making sure each pet gets the love, exercise, and companionship they need. My home is very pet friendly, annd outdoor time is supervised and on a leash. I live at the end of a quiet neighborhood next to a wooded area, which makes for very peaceful walks and plenty of opportunities for your dog to explore safely. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll follow all of your instructions and routines so they feel secure and comfortable in their familiar environment. 😊

Christine is amazing!! So caring and kind and a great communicator. Our senior dog has many challenges (meds, anxiety, feeding, messing in the house) and Christine is an absolute professional. Sent many pictures and reports while we were away. She made us feel so relieved to be able to go away and leave our old guy after he just had yet another health scare and she rescued us last minute when another petsitter had to cancel. She cared for Benji as if he was her own. She was so patient with him and made sure he was safe and comfortable at home while we were out of town. He made lots of messes which she kindly cleaned up. Christine went above and beyond and we recommend her wholeheartedly.

We had Kasey for one night and for the first time, but definitely intend to keep her in mind for future longer stays. In fact, we already booked her for a week early August. She was very responsive and our pup seemed very happy when we got home. She sent pictures around the house and out for walks too. The house was immaculate and she ever took our trash bins out as she noted several were out in our community.

About: I have had dogs my whole life and started pet sitting back in high school. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and taking care of them just feels natural to me. In college, I also lived with cats, so I’m comfortable around both. I really treat every dog I watch like they’re my own — whether that means playtime, walks, or just some good cuddle time. I’m reliable, responsible, and always make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I am currently working part-time so I can help out with your furry friends and give them my full attention and all the love and care they deserve! "I care for pets as if they were my own, whether in my home or yours. The services I provide are always tailored to fit your pet’s specific needs — whether that’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, administering medication, or simply providing lots of love and attention. I’m happy to adjust my care depending on what your furry friend needs to feel safe, happy, and comfortable!"

About: I bring over 10 years of hands-on experience in the pet care field, with a background that goes far beyond basic sitting or walking. I am licensed, insured, bonded, and background checked, and I also own and operate my own professional pet care business, which means I approach every booking with a high level of responsibility, professionalism, and accountability. My experience includes working in animal rescue and volunteering, where I cared for animals of all species, temperaments, and medical needs. I have extensive experience with puppies, senior pets, and special-needs animals, including those requiring medications, mobility support, or extra patience and structure. Through this work, I’ve developed a strong ability to read the body language and communication cues of different species, allowing me to understand when a pet is comfortable, stressed, anxious, or unwell. I pay close attention to subtle changes in behavior, appetite, energy, and routine, which helps me recognize early signs of illness or behavioral changes and communicate concerns clearly and promptly with pet parents. My background in rescue and professional pet care has taught me the importance of calm, consistent care , especially for pets who may not thrive in boarding environments. I am confident working with pets who need extra reassurance, individualized routines, or specialized care, and I always prioritize keeping pets comfortable and secure in their own home. My goal is to provide attentive, reliable care that allows pets to feel safe and understood while giving their owners complete peace of mind. Pet care is not something I fit around another job. It is my full time profession, and I have intentionally built my daily schedule around providing reliable, attentive care for my clients and their pets. Because this is my business, I am able to plan my days with flexibility and prioritize consistency, routine, and comfort for the animals in my care. I am deeply passionate about both my work and the peace of mind it provides to pet owners. Caring for other people’s pets is something I take seriously, and I treat every visit with the same level of attention and responsibility I would expect for my own animals. With advance notice, I am available 24 seven for scheduled care, including overnights, drop ins, and extended visits. I also offer emergency visits for established clients when unexpected situations arise, subject to availability. This added flexibility allows my clients to feel supported, even when plans change. My goal is to be a dependable, long term care provider that pet owners can trust to be there when they need it most. When caring for pets in their own homes, I treat each space with the same respect and responsibility I would expect from someone caring for my own. I understand that inviting a pet sitter into your home requires a high level of trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. I am licensed, insured, bonded, and background checked, and I also come with letters of reference that speak to my professionalism, reliability, and integrity. I am mindful of home security, privacy, and routines, and I follow all client instructions carefully. This includes locking up properly, respecting personal spaces, and maintaining a clean and orderly environment during every visit. My focus is always on keeping pets comfortable and stress free in familiar surroundings while ensuring their home remains safe and well cared for. Whether I am providing drop in visits or overnight care, I aim to create a calm, dependable presence that both pets and owners can feel confident about. My goal is to provide in home pet care that is not only attentive and compassionate for your pets, but also respectful, trustworthy, and professional within your home.

About: Ive had dogs in my family ever since I was a kid. I have a 10 year old pit mix, a 13 year old husky, and a 1 year old husky, so I know how to care for multiple dogs at once and dogs of all ages, including puppies. I will care for your dog the way you would. I will take them on as many walks as youd like, and treat them as if they were my own. I get along very well with all dogs and I have plenty of experience. I dont trust my dog with just anybody, so I know how important it is to build that trust with your dog and to not change their comfortability and routine. I work from home, so I am free for as many walks or as much play time as needed! I am available all day every day, and your dogs will be my first priority. I can go on as many walks as needed, depending on the age and activity level of your dog. I have experience crate training my own dog if you need me to do that. I will care for your dog the same way as if youve never left.

Jennifer is absolutely phenomenal. She is a natural caretaker and all around great person. She is reliable, professional, kind, caring, accommodating and trustworthy to say the least. She has consistently provided exceptional care to our 17 and 14 year old pups frequently for 10-12 hour days. She has a sunny personality and lights up the room. We are grateful to have found her and to know our babies are in great hands when we can’t be home.

FAQs for House Sitting - Ocean View

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Ocean View on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 286 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ocean View. 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 Ocean View 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 Ocean View 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 Ocean View 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 Ocean View. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
