“Tina did an amazing job! Our dogs loved hanging out with her! It was the first time we had anyone stay overnight with them and she completely put our minds at ease . She’s reliable, trustworthy, very knowledgeable, and loves your animals like her own. She’s prompt (even started early), sent lots of photos, great communication, and she did excellent with our anxious gal. We’ll definitely be in touch, for future visits!”
“This was our first time requesting house sitting and Erin was punctual, reliable and sent us multiple pics/updates on our pets. She put our minds at ease being gone over the holidays.”
“Noah did great with my 10 year old skittish dog. My dog loved him at the meet and greet and was happy when I got home! The house looked great also. Was gone for two nights and everything was taken care of, will use again!”
“There could not be a better dog sitter. Even through the 28 inches of snow, my dogs were cared for and Travis ensured they could go to the restroom by shoveling snow. Beyond grateful!”
“Fawn did a great job with Marlo while we were away. She is very responsive to my communication and reached out on the first day with an detailed update. Marlo was happy around her and will definitely hire her again.”
“We had Alex watch our pups during our wedding weekend, and they loved her. Each picture she sent of them they were clearly having a great time, doggy smiles all around. 10/10 would book again.”
About: I treat every dog like family, providing loving, dependable care. I’m patient with puppies, gentle with senior dogs, and always keep owners updated with photos and messages. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, allowing plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and giving each dog personalized attention every day! I will provide personalized care for each pup, following each pet’s routine with feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, medication if needed, and a safe, comfortable environment
“Jacob was absolutely fantastic with my two dogs! He’s super friendly, extremely communicative, and treated my pups like they were his own family. They loved spending time with him, and I had total peace of mind the entire time. I couldn’t recommend him more!”
“Eleanor always goes above and beyond with handling my 3 rowdy young pups!! i’m a helicopter parent and have zero worries when i travel. my dogs love her and she’s been a huge blessing. 10/10 recommend!!!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up around animals and have experience helping care for a wide variety of pets. This has taught me responsibility, patience, and how to understand the unique needs and personalities of different animals. I grew up with Labrador Retrievers and have experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra care and attention. Whether it's feeding, exercise, playtime, walks, or simply providing companionship, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I am dependable, attentive, and will treat your pets like they are my own. I understand that every pet is part of the family, and my goal is to give owners peace of mind while providing their pets with the care, love, and attention they deserve. As a college student who works part-time, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. I carefully manage my classes and work hours so I can give pets the time, attention, exercise, and companionship they need. Because I genuinely enjoy being around animals, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. Whether it's morning walks, midday check-ins, feeding, playtime, or evening visits, I am committed to making sure pets stay happy, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am dependable, responsive, and dedicated to following each pet's routine to help them feel safe and at ease. When caring for pets in a client's home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed in their familiar environment. I follow each pet owner's instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication needs, and any special care requirements. I take the time to get to know each pet's personality and routine so I can provide consistent care and minimize stress while their family is away. Whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I make sure they receive plenty of attention and care. I also respect my clients' homes by keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as they left it. My goal is to provide dependable, trustworthy care that gives both pets and their owners peace of mind.
“We give Melissa our HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION! She was a pet sitter for us for 6 days/5 nights! We just moved to the area and needed to find a responsible person to take care of our dog while we were out of town. Melissa was super responsive, highly professional and extremely trustworthy. Our pet has a significant medical condition and Melissa kept us updated and was extremely comfortable handling any special needs. She left our home in better condition that we left it. She went above and beyond to take care of our dog and we so appreciated it! We have used many pet sitters in the past, but Melissa was a step above all others!”
“Bridget was great and Vanessa loved her. I appreciated the daily updates with videos & photos. It was our first time trying in home care while we were away and we are very pleased with Bridget as our choice. We will definitely rebook when we go away in the future.”
“We were very happy with Zalexis' services. She cared for our cat and provided house sitting for 5 days while we were out of town. She was always quick to respond to messages and sent pictures and progress reports every day. When she sent a pic of our cat sitting in her lap, I knew she had serious cat whisperer skills because our cat won't sit in just anyone's lap! ? The house looked great when we returned and our cat seemed happy and content. It made being away so much easier, knowing our cat was being well cared for. We highly recommend Zalexis' services and will most certainly hire her again!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for pets has always come naturally to me. While I’m not able to have any furry companions of my own right now because of my current living situation, I truly miss having them in my life. I’d love the opportunity to give your pet plenty of love, attention, playtime, walks, and, with your permission, a few well-deserved treats! I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I currently work full time at home Monday-Friday 8:00am-4:30pm however, my schedule is flexible and I am able to take breaks throughout the day. I can make almost anything work with enough notice. I provide care in my client’s home so pets can stay in the environment where they feel happiest and most comfortable. I understand that keeping their normal routine helps reduce stress while you’re away. I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh food and water, and lots of love. I’ll also follow any specific care instructions you provide to ensure your pet’s routine and needs are met every step of the way.
About: Dogs have been a part of my world ever since I was 4 years old. I had three dogs growing up, Buddy, Archie, and Walker. They were the absolute BEST! My uncle used to be a private breeder (mostly just because he loved having a lot of dogs around) and I would go over weekly to help care for them. I've worked with all kinds of dog, big and small, from puppies to the oldest little guys you've ever seen and I love it! I am currently extremely available as my few jobs are also scheduled sporadically and with different lengths of notice so finding time within my weekly schedule is quite easy. I can accomplish just about anything to meet the needs of your beautiful dog/cat. Feeding, brushing, crating, walking, playing, administering medication, you name it! If you tell me, I can do it :)
“Ella was amazing with our pup during her weekend stay! She was kind, courteous, and completely trustworthy. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Lima was in such good hands. Ella kept her on schedule, sent updates, and gave her so much love and attention. We’d absolutely book with her again!”
About: I have had cats since I was born and my whole life have helped take care of them. My life passion is cats and I currently have two of my own. I have experience in administrating oral, topical and injectable medications and have experience with cats with many personalities. I am working full time, so my availability varies, but send me a message and see if I’m available! I’ll do my best to accommodate :) I am always respectful of other people's spaces and act as I would like others to act while they are in my home. I always treat animals with care and respect and do what I can to make sure that they are comfortable.

FAQs for House Sitting - Oneida
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 299 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:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
