I was a bit nervous to have a new sitter after using the same person for several years, and leaving for our first trip since COVID, plus we now have 3 dogs (the newest just turning one year) in addition to the backyard chickens. Tawni immediately put my anxieties to rest by sending photos, videos and updates from the first few hours she arrived. We were gone for 6 days and she stayed at our house. She provided plenty of activity, with multiple daily walks as well as time in the yard. She brought her pup with her (I had told her to do so) and my dogs enjoyed having a new playmate! I would definitely recommend Tawni and will look forward to booking with her again in the future.

Katie was an awesome sitter to our 3 dogs. She was responsive, attentive and took well to them at our meet and greet. I appreciated all of the updates, pics and exchanges while we were away. I would definitely book with her again!

We had an amazing experience with Eliza! She stayed at our home for several days and nights while caring for our French Bulldogs and our cats, and we couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. From the moment we left, we had complete peace of mind knowing our pets were in such caring and responsible hands. Eliza kept us updated, treated our home with respect, and most importantly, gave our pets so much love and attention. It was obvious they were comfortable, happy, and well cared for while we were away. Coming home to relaxed, happy pets and a well-kept house was the best feeling. We are so grateful for everything Eliza did and would absolutely trust her again. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and trustworthy pet sitter!

This was our first time having Nancy house-sit Sofia. Sofia is very shy but at the pre-meeting, she immediately approached Nancy with her tail wagging and let her pet her. I didn't worry at all leaving her in Nancy's care. She sent regular photos and updates.

So grateful for John! Very understanding of the difficulties I had leaving my Luna for the first time like this - sent me multiple texts, pictures and videos assuring me she was doing well and happy. Very flexible with my schedule and made the point to come meet Luna ahead of time on a previous day. Very attentive to Luna's schedule and her specific little quirks. Luna clearly enjoyed her time, giving John a super speed tail wag and some kisses before we left.

About: I grew up with two cats, so I love cats as well as dogs. In 2019, I adopted an incredibly loving, gorgeous lab pit named Lucy, and she keeps me very active every day! She was a rescue dog, and although we were originally fostering her, I bonded with her too much to let her go. I’ve always been a natural introvert and have been drawn to the compassion of animals. I believe we can learn more about our own humanity through caring for animals. I look forward to meeting your amazing furry friends! In addition to Rover, I substitute teach right now, and this allows me to have a very flexible schedule. It's closer to part-time than full-time. My priority is to listen and adapt to each client’s needs/preferences, so that both the client and their pets will be as happy as possible.

About: Since the day I was born, I have been surrounded by dogs. I am blessed and dog obsessed - always loving and caring for each fur baby like it is my own. Please rely on me to walk, feed, play and provide any specific care to your fur baby that is needed. As a responsible and trustworthy individual who is so caring and always maintains a happy and positive attitude, I can promise you your dog will be in the best of hands while receiving the love and attention it deserves! I am currently working full-time, and absolutely love my job! What’s even better is having the flexibility to work remote a couple days throughout the week. This gives me plenty of time to spend with my fur baby, as well as yours! I am available a couple days throughout the week as well as on the weekends. Whether it is in my home or your home, your pet will always remain safe. Just like my Mini Aussiedoodle named Eve. Your pet will receive their food, fresh drinking water, regular exercise, and have access to the bathroom regularly.

Our three dogs with very different needs can be a lot to manage (a rambunctious 18 month old, a five year old, and an elder dog in significant decline), and Adriana took great care of all of them simultaneously. She asks the right questions and communicates clearly and quickly to resolve anything that comes up. We could not be happier with how she works with us and cares for Maddie, Olaf, and Otter.

About: I have 3 years of experience taking care of cats and dogs of a variety of breeds, and have worked with puppies as well as older pets in home environments such as suburbs, cities, and rural areas. I am happy to cater to your pet's special needs, and I focus on respecting each pet's boundaries and getting to know them on a case by case basis, with the hope that they grow to trust me as much as they trust you! Since I am a writer who works remotely, I am open on a weekly basis and am able to be flexible in order to meet your scheduling requirements. I work hard to ensure that your pet's personal boundaries are not crossed while we take time to get to know each other. I especially care about learning their preferences in order to earn their favor and eventually their trust. Depending on each pet, I try to be very sensitive to any shifts in their mood or behavior, such as if they get anxiety when left alone or are afraid of loud weather.

Mackenzie is a wonderful dog sitter. Our dog Nugget is very attached to his family. He gets quite anxious when we’re preparing for vacation and then again as the week progresses. MacKenzie stayed in our home; a first for us as Rover customers. She respected our home to the point where we could hardly tell she spent the week. Nugget was completely calm with MacKenzie. In fact he seemed to be looking for her our first morning back. She truly is a dog whisperer. We highly recommend MacKenzie and look forward to having her again. We’re confident Nugget will be thrilled to see her!!

About: I have been taking care of animals since childhood and would often pet sit for family members, some of which were entire farms for a week at a time. Neighbors and family members have relied on me for daily care of their dogs and cats with care tasks including feeding, walking and sometimes bathing. I am currently in nursing school and I have a very flexible schedule during the week (except Mondays, Tuesdays) and on weekends. I currently have an almost 5 years old Australian cattle dog (very friendly w/ other dogs) and also live on a hobby farm. You will see my reviews are from Canada, where I lived for 6 years, but moved back home in the last couple of years and wanted to start my account up again :) I have a large property for walks and playtime without having to drive to a trail. I am also able to crate your dog if that is needed. I am available for frequent potty breaks (every 0-2 hours).

About: Dog mom providing loving, reliable care for puppies, adults, and seniors. Patient, attentive, and committed to keeping every pet safe and happy, and comfortable always. As a full-time online student, I have a flexible schedule and spend most of my day at home with my Poms. This allows me to provide attentive, reliable care for one to two dogs per day, ensuring they receive plenty of supervision, exercise, playtime, and affection. I have my own home with a large patio area where pets can enjoy fresh air and supervised outdoor time. Since it is not fenced, I always keep pets safely supervised and use their collar or leash when needed. I provide daily walks, exercise, playtime, and loving care while following each pet’s routine and needs.

FAQs for House Sitting - Oneida

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Oneida on Rover is $58.85 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 325 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Oneida. 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 Oneida 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 Oneida 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 Oneida 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 Oneida. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% 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.
