“First time app dog sitter here and I have to say…. I was TERRIFIED! However, Yesenia was so patient with me and Chac and came by for meet and greets multiple times to make us feel comfortable. She went above and beyond by communicating with me on her plans, as she had other visits while watching our pup, and was always on time. She provided photos and videos everyday, which was so helpful. Thank you, Yesenia!!!”
“Carrie was absolutely amazing with our 15 year old golden retriever, Maya. We appreciated her kindness and communication especially. Looking forward to using Carrie in the future!”
“Jana was such a fantastic pup and house sitter! Lots of pictures and updates, and Cash was so happy to have lots of love and company. Highly recommend and we will absolutely invite Jana back when she’s available!”
About: Hi! I’m a 20-year-old lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all kinds. I’ve grown up around dogs for as long as I can remember and have always treated them like family. Last year, I had the opportunity to work at Doggy daycare for seven months, where I gained professional experience caring for dogs in a daycare environment. I loved getting to know each dog’s personality, keeping them safe and happy, and making sure they received plenty of attention and care. I also have a 6-year-old Pit/Lab mix of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. Growing up, I would also help neighbors with dog sitting, walking, bathing, and general pet care. I’m excited to continue growing my experience while doing something I genuinely love. I’ll treat your dog with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup! 🐾❤️ I currently work part-time as a house cleaner, but my schedule is flexible and I’m able to work my job around my Rover availability. I’m very excited to grow my experience caring for dogs and cats and would love to make as much availability as possible for your fur babies! I understand that every pet has their own routine and needs, and I’m happy to work around your schedule to provide dependable, loving care. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or simply some company while you’re away, I’m here to help! 🐾❤️ Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! Since I’m unable to have dogs in my current household, I offer pet sitting in your home where your dog can stay in a familiar and comfortable environment. I take safety seriously during walks and always stay attentive to my surroundings. I also carry appropriate safety and protective items with me in case of unexpected situations while we’re out. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, respect your home, and make sure your dog receives plenty of care, attention, and love. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your fur baby is in good hands while you’re away. 🐾❤️

About: I have had one dog for 4+ years, and another dog for 2+. I have dedicated a lot of my life since getting my two dogs as far as training them, taking them on long walks, playing with them, and most importantly, loving them and giving them all the attention they need and deserve. I have plenty of time throughout the day to take care of dogs because I currently do not have another job! I prefer to work early in the morning/afternoon. At my home, there is a lot of space for my doggies to run around because there is a park right outside my door which is great! They also have their own play space inside.
“Cara was very prompt to respond to our inquiry about taking care of our Shih Tzu. She was sweet and kind and stayed in touch with us the whole time. She is such a sweet girl. We would highly recommend her to anyone. It’s hard leaving your 11 year-old child at home but we didn’t worry about him one minute. She stayed in contact with us the whole time. She stayed at our house and left it cleaner than it was before she got there. We felt very trusting of her Thank you sweet Cara. Harlee Ray had so much fun with your visit. He hopes that she’ll come back soon to stay with him. He told us he was not bad that he was a good boy. Thank you again for taking care of our precious Precious Angel. So this is a review for her.”
“We are incredibly happy with Willow. She took such excellent care of Bella and sent us photos and messages every day. I would definitely request Willow again and highly recommend her to others. She is intelligent and friendly and great with our Bella!”

About: I have had pets since I was a young girl and as a pet owner myself, I value being a house/pet sitter. I have had quite a few clients over the past 9 years. I have given medication to senior dogs/cats, I have given some a special diet, and while a lot of the places I’ve house sat for have had yards for the animals to play in, I am also well versed in walking/running with my dog around my apartment complex. I have taken care of senior dogs, blind cats, rescues, feral cats, even a few chickens and cows in my time. I love following directions and I also love routine. Pet sitting is my full time job and responsibility. I’ll have plenty of time during the day to play with and walk your dogs. I live in an apartment complex so 1 dog would be ideal. I have one dog already that is a little over a year old and is very friendly and very excited to meet new friends.

About: Caring for animals has always been something that brings me genuine joy. I’ve had hands-on experience raising my own dog, fostering dogs in need while in Puerto Rico, and caring for my sister-in-law’s dog whenever she’s away. I’m patient, attentive, and understanding that every dog has their own personality and needs. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I’ll treat your furry family member with the same love and care I would give my own! I work online from home, which gives me a flexible daily and weekly schedule to fit pet care into my routine.

About: What sets me apart is my deep, hands-on experience with pets who need extra care and attention. I cared for my dog Maya, who was blind and diabetic, and I was responsible for administering her insulin and making sure she stayed safe, comfortable, and happy. I also cared for my soul dog Marcello, who developed anxiety in his later years and needed patience, consistency, and a calm environment. Both of my dogs were seniors who lived long, full lives (15 and 17), so I’m very comfortable with senior care, medication routines, and recognizing subtle changes in behavior or health. I’ve also fostered multiple dogs over the years, including a puppy, so I’m familiar with different temperaments, energy levels, and basic training needs. Because I work from home, your pet will get plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day—not just quick check-ins. I’ve had animals my entire life, and while I can’t have one of my own right now, caring for others’ pets truly brings me joy. I treat every animal like family and aim to create a calm, loving, and reliable environment while you’re away. I’m currently working remotely with a great deal of flexibility! I have no set meetings or calls that would conflict with a pet care schedule and can plan accordingly to accomodate your pets needs. I am unable to take your pets to my home due to lease regulations but can come watch your animals in the comfort of your own home. I would defer yo you as the pet owner to guide me on your pets personality, likes and dislikes and get to know them to ensure top notch care!

About: Dogs are also family wouldn't you say they deserve the best care from the best dog caregiver!? With me your fur baby will receive attention through play time, be given time to run and play and have the love and care to continue to thrive. The Services I do provide are feeding, walks to keep your fur baby happy and healthy, fun time to keep them stimulated, to continue to build on their social skills and so they can routinely be working on their bonding with family, new faces and other dogs. Dogs are constantly growing and learning so the proper sitter is needed. My schedule is flexible, so it’s allows me to be available for any type of service that may come up. Around Special events and holidays I have more time to play with your fur baby and be more active. Making sure your dog is secure in my home or yours is my first priority. Because dogs are just like babies they can get into things so double checking doors and Gates is a must.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - O'Neil
Becky is the best! This was my first time using her (on very short notice I might add) and she did an absolutely awesome job! It was a week long stay and she communicated daily with me. Our two dogs and two cats really took to her. She took the time to get to know them individually and spent lots of time snuggling with them! She took great care of the pets and our home while we were away. She is professional, reliable, friendly and experienced, and made this new job seem easy for her! I will definitely be using her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - O'Neil
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in O'Neil is $72 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $96 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 1,151 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across O'Neil. 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 O'Neil 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 O'Neil 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 O'Neil 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.
