“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.”
“Bridget took amazing care of our dogs while we were on a weeklong trip. One of our dogs (River) got sick while we were away and Bridget took such amazing care of her until we could get home. She treated River like she was her own dog, which we are so incredibly grateful for. She even stayed extra late so River wouldn’t be alone. We were so grateful she was there for both dogs, but especially River! We will most certainly request Bridget again when we travel.”
“Katie is very responsive. She did an amazing job taking care of my two dogs. She was thoughtful and loving and even provided me with pictures. I would hire her again if I need someone”
“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 graduated with a degree in animal science from the University of Wisconsin- River Falls in 2023. I've been dog/ cat sitting for years, I grew up with 2 family labs and I have trained 3 service dogs through a non-profit company down in Madison. Whether I'm hanging out with a high-energy pup or a senior dog who just wants a comfy spot and some company, I always adjust my care to match their needs. I am big on routine, clear communication and creating a calm, positive environment while you're away. Lastly and most importantly, I treat every dog like they're my own: with patience, respect, and plenty of love. I’m available for pet care during mornings and afternoons, with consistent availability throughout the week. While I don’t accommodate last-minute bookings, I’m happy to schedule in advance to ensure your pet gets the attention they need. Whether it’s a morning walk, a midday check-in, or afternoon playtime, I’ll work with you to create a routine that keeps your pet happy and comfortable. I specialize in caring for pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure while you are gone. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I make sure your pet’s routine stays consistent and stress-free. I’m respectful of your space, keep things clean, and always provide regular updates so you can relax knowing your pet (and your home) are in good hands. My goal is to make your time away as smooth as possible—for both you and your furry family member
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.
About: I’ve had dogs in my life ever since I can remember. All shapes and sizes, all ages. Whatever is needed will be provided and then some. I hope I can be of service and can’t wait to help! My schedule is very flexible. I’m able to be wherever is needed. Whatever is best for your prt and your family is what will be given. Individualized and personalized care is my top priority. I’m very eager to learn how I can be of service to your pet and families needs.
“Desiree took such great care of my boy. She followed all directions that was given such as administering eye medication. She took him to get groomed as an added bonus without me asking. She was willing to meet prior to do an introduction which was greatly appreciated. Desiree provided me with pictures and updates during the stay. I will be booking with her again in the future. I think my dog gained a new friend 🧡”
About: I’ve always had a love for animals ever since I was small. I want them to have the best life they can, so I make sure to do things right for them! I’ve had pets of my own (like fish and hamsters) along with the family dog that I’ve cared for, and I have also assisted other family and friends with pet sitting before. I am currently a bridal stylist at David’s Bridal and am busiest on the weekends. I am very flexible during the weekdays, and if timing allows I’d love to help you out on a weekend too! I am committed to following all instructions given to me for your pet. I want everyone to be as comfortable as possible, meaning that I will try and keep their routine as close to normal as possible.
“Maddie watched four dogs (our regular three plus one rambunctious sassy puppy that we are fostering) in our home overnight. Communication was good throughout the stay and pictures and updates were provided. Maddie walked all four each day and fed and watered them as well as providing play time in the yard with the Chuck-It toys. She even worked in helping our foster puppy learn a couple commands!”

About: My family has had dogs on and off since I was a child. I’ve also been dog sitting for friends and family over the past 5 years-in many capacities: day visits, overnight, single and multiple dogs, different age ranges, breeds and dog walking. I don’t have a lot of cat sitting experience but have friends/family who have cats. I work from home 2-3 days a week, so I’m available more flexible on those days. Weekends and weeknights, I’m a bit more flexible to care for pets overnight or provide drop-ins throughout the day. I have no pets in my house, so your pet(s), will get my full attention. I don’t have a fenced in back yard but am able to use lines if needed, I also have space to kennel your pet if needed. My house is a split level, so I have stairs to get to either floor of the house. My parents do have dogs (in a different household), so if you pets don’t get along with other dogs please let me know.
About: I have lived with dogs my entire life and have always been drawn to them. My Dad jokes that he would love to be one of my dogs because they are treated like royalty! There are always 2 to 3 dogs in my pack at all times along with 1 to 3 fosters. I have been fostering for Happily Ever After Animal Sanctuary for about 15 years now and have been walking dogs at their Sanctuary facility for almost 13. I love to be around any dog of any size, but always have a soft spot for the shy guys or trouble makers:) I feel it's my job to do what I can to restore the animals faith in humanity after it was let down by the person who was trusted to take care of them. If you have a dog or dogs who need someone to come take care of them while you are away, I would love to do so! Or if you have a long day at work and would like them to get a walk, I can do that too:) Looking forward to meeting you and your dog soon! Missy I will do my best to work your needs into my daily routine. In home care is also an option for any day of the week... I have 5 acres with a fenced in yard and 5 dogs currently living with me. There is a heated garage and greenhouse for separation if needed and I also have kennels in all various sizes.
About: I’m a former pet parent with over 20 years of experience raising rescues. I am missing the energy of dogs and cats and am here to give back to the community as an experienced caregiver. Experience with dogs of all ages and breeds and also cats. I currently work a part time schedule that allows for a lot of time for your pet. Also available for overnights in your home depending on the distance and availability. I keep a very clean home and a tidy yard for your pet. Crates are always welcome. I do not have a fenced in yard, but it sits up against a nice ravine. Happy to let roam in the yard on a rooted line or walk on the path to Peabody park.

“Anna and her husband watched all four of our pups for over a week and did a fantastic job caring for them and paying close attention to their individual needs. Anna was easy to book and work with. We would love to have her and her husband watch our pups in the future!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 302 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 , 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.
