“Olivia took very good care of my fur baby Izzy. She communicated well and ensured that she understood the instructions on taking care of my baby. I wasn’t worried about Izzy at all while I was away. I would definitely recommend her, she’s awesome!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs and understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy looking after your pet. I’m patient, loving, responsible, and will treat every pet like they’re my own. I can help with feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also follow all instructions carefully and keep you updated with pictures and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your fur baby is receiving plenty of love and attention. Pet care fits well into my daily routine because my schedule is flexible. I have time throughout the week for walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, and giving pets the attention they need. I carefully follow every pet owner’s instructions and respect their home and routine. I provide fresh food and water, safe walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and lots of attention. I also send regular pictures and updates so owners know their pets are safe and comfortable.
“Audra did a great job of house sitting and caring for my cute but crazy cat. She stayed in our home for a week and I returned to clean house and a happy, well loved cat. 100% would hire again!”
About: What sets us apart is the deep, genuine love we have for animals. Our home recently said goodbye to our three beloved family dogs due to old age. While we’re not quite ready to adopt again, we miss the joy, energy, and warmth that pets bring into a home. Caring for your pets allows us to share the love, attention, and comfort we once gave our own dogs—and in many ways, it’s helping our hearts heal. We understand how important it is to feel confident and at peace when you’re away from your fur family. We will treat your pets with the same tenderness and respect we gave our own, making sure they always feel safe, loved, and cared for. Your pet becomes part of our family the moment they walk through our door. Pet care fits naturally into our weekly routine. I work from home Wednesday through Friday, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day—whether that’s playtime, snuggles, regular potty breaks, or peaceful company while I work. I’m also fully available in the evenings and all day Saturday and Sunday, so your pet will never feel rushed or overlooked. I’m flexible and happy to care for your pet in whichever environment makes them feel most comfortable. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, my goal is to keep their routine consistent so it feels like you never left. I follow your instructions closely, provide plenty of companionship, and make sure they feel safe, calm, and loved in their familiar space. If your pet is staying in my home, I’m equally dedicated to their comfort and well-being. We have a fully fenced backyard where they can safely run, explore, or sunbathe, and pets are welcome inside our home—especially if they are potty trained—so they can relax comfortably wherever they feel happiest. Because our schedule is flexible and home-centered, your pet gets consistent companionship and care, not long hours alone. If needed, I’m happy to follow specific feeding schedules, give medication reminders, and maintain any routines that help your pet feel secure and cared for. I also have two young boys (ages 4 and 7) who adore animals and would enjoy your pet’s company, offering gentle play and lots of affection. Above all, I provide gentle supervision, a clean environment, and reliable communication so you always feel at ease knowing your fur family is in caring, trustworthy hands.
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give to every pet as if they were my own. I don’t just “watch” pets—I build trust with them, learn their personalities, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely happy while you’re away. I have experience working with pets of all ages and needs, including puppies who are still learning routines and senior pets who need extra patience and gentle care. I’m comfortable reinforcing basic training (like potty schedules, leash manners, and crate training) and sticking closely to any routines you’ve already established at home. For older pets, I pay close attention to mobility, medication schedules, and making sure they’re relaxed and stress-free. I structure my schedule to allow time for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I’m intentional about not overbooking so I can give each pet the attention they deserve. In a client’s home, I’m very respectful of both the space and the pet’s environment. I keep things clean, stick to their normal routine, and make sure your pet feels secure in their familiar surroundings. If pets are in my home, they’ll have a calm, safe, and supervised environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and rest.
About: I’m a lifelong dog and cat lover with years of hands on experience caring for pets. I’ve had dogs since I was 10 years old and have cared for cats from childhood through adulthood. I currently have four dogs of my own: an 8 year old Jack Russell Terrier mix, a Rottweiler puppy, and two Australian Shepherds. I’m experienced in caring for pets at all stages of life, from puppies and kittens to adult and senior pets. I’m comfortable with feeding, bathing, administering medications, exercise, and basic training. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs. Your pets’ safety and well being are my top priorities. I’ll care for them with the same patience, attention, and love I give my own pets, while keeping you updated so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and can make time to care for your pets. I enjoy spending time with animals, playing with them, feeding them, taking them on walks, and making sure they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. I will make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times. I will follow your instructions carefully, provide fresh food and water, keep their environment clean, and give them plenty of attention. I will always treat your pet with patience, kindness, and love.
About: Hello! Thank you for viewing my profile. I have volunteered working with animals and have taken care of my own pets (dog cats and fish) for 12 years now. I can meet the vibe of most animals whether they are laid back and quiet or hyper and ready to go! All animals deserve respect and patience, and I provide these when working with new animals. I have bottle fed kittens and taken care of sick animals. Our pets are our family and I treat every new pet as a new friend! Most of my free time is on the weekends but I have no problem popping in on your fur baby! Walks, cuddles, food and treat time even a good snooze! Whatever they need, I am happy to assist with! I am always respectful of a client's home, as someone who has experience working as an Operations Manager for children with Autism, I have always been sensitive to the needs of others. I will ask questions and gather information for clarification on your furry friend's needs and review a schedule with you before getting started!
About: I grew up with a chocolate lab and took in two cats in high school. I’ve primarily had cats as pets recently (and have become a master at giving cats pills). I’ve dog sat and cat sat for several friends. I always have a great time watching their home while spending time with their fur babies. I work fully remote for my 9-5 as well so any home with good wifi I can be there the whole working day. I have good experience giving cats pills and liquid medicine. I work remotely so I can work from any home with good wifi. So if your pet gets lonely I can keep them company all day long. For things that require a routine or specific timing, such as medicine, I set alarms and calendar reminders. I love getting a clear list of expectations from the pet owner of how to treat their specific pet. Every pet is unique and I want to make sure I’m caring for your pet in the way best for them! I’ve watched cats that needed three pills in the morning and one at night. I’ve watched dogs with special dietary restrictions where I had to tear up boiled chicken for them. I’ve also watched kitties that just want cuddles all day long and dogs who want to play fetch all day long. I always try to accommodate best I can!
“Abigail did a fantastic job watching our critters! She was great about sending pics of Oban and Mabel, and she kept our house looking nice and clean. We would definitely have her house sit again and recommend her!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life, especially when it comes to cats and dogs! I’m comfortable caring for a variety of animals and am happy to provide loving, attentive care tailored to each pet’s needs. I understand how important it is to follow your instructions closely, maintain your pet’s routine, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Clear instructions help me give your pets the best possible care! I am currently free any time, night or day, weekends as well. I can do extended stay or intermittent periods as needed. I can also do holidays. I know how to handle dogs or pups and cats or kittens. I take care in making sure all instructions are followed with utmost precision
“Denae was an exceptional dog sitter for my dog Izzy! She was very communicative and I didn’t worry about Izzy one bit while I was gone. She also kept my house well maintained and I couldn’t tell that she had even been there and I’m close to being OCD…lol. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Rammiyah was great with my Great Dane Journey, who has severe separation issues. When we got back Journey was calm and no signs of stress or anxiety. I can't thank Rammiyah enough for taking such great care of my baby!”
About: Hi! Anyone that knows me knows how much I love animals, especially dogs and cats. I have had dogs since I was a baby and absolutely love caring for them. I have cared for my family and friend’s dogs and absolutely loved it. I have experience with dogs of all ages and activity levels so you can be assured that I will give the best quality care to your pet. I have the summer off from one of my jobs so my availability is a lot wider! During the school year, I work more but still have a very flexible schedule. While my apartment does not allow dogs or additional cats, I am more than willing to do visits or sitting in your home. I am willing to do multiple visits a day and anything you need to provide the best quality care for your pet!
“Sierra was friendly and professional, she shared photos and videos of her having fun with my three small dogs. She followed all instructions and made the experience easy. Thanks Sierra!”
“Amanda did a fantastic job with my pups! Amanda easily won over my three pups who are very weary of new people. She was extremely communicative during the sit, sending pictures and updates routinely. I highly recommend Amanda.”
“Very happy with how Latoya cared for my babies. I have two dogs and a cat and they we're all loved and cared for while we we're away. Trusting your babies and your home to someone when you're away can always be tough. It is nice to know that I could trust Latoya. Will definitely look for her help again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ola
I am absolutely blown away by the care and attention my pets received from Darian while I was away for 5 days. It was the first time in 8 years I didn't fell the need to worry about anything while I was away. I received plenty of pictures and updates and my dogs loved him! Care instructions were followed to the letter and he even checked in to make sure I didn't forget anything. If you book with Darian you can be sure your pets will be treated like family and they'll be happy while you're away.

The average cost of House Sitting in Ola is $61 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $71 per night.

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 Ola 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 Ola 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 Ola 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.

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.
