“Robyn was fantastic! She was very communicative and gave lots of love to our pets when we were out of town. She sent us pictures and updates throughout the day. Our house was clean and tidy when we got home and our pets were happy and well taken care of! We will definitely look to rebook with her in the future.”
“Kaitlyn took care of my two fur babies like they were her own! She kept me informed on a daily basis about how they were and what all of them were doing. We came home to happy pups, a clean house and the comfortable feeling of knowing we’ve found a great person to stay and watch our boys.”
“Dakoda was so kind and the dogs really like him! He sent me pictures of them every day. The house was very neat and he even washed the towels he used which was not expected, so sweet! I look forward to the next time he watches our pups!”
“Sara is absolute ROCKSTAR. Our Mookie absolutely loves her. He had his 2nd stay with her and we could tell he had a blast. He normally doesn’t eat the most consistent but he did with Sara. We loved all the updates and pictures we got through the stay. Sara always leaves our home like no one stayed there and we will continue to use her for all of Mookie’s stays. As a French bulldog owner it can be very hard to find the right “fit” but we know we have it with Sara!!”
“Marcie was wonderful during the 5 days she stayed with our Chimo in our house. She was caring and completely sensitive to his medical needs. Marcie was respectful and left the house perfectly in order. I highly recommend Marcie is you need a house dog sitter. She is reliable and perfect match for your needs. Look forward to having Marcie again.”
“Nellie did a great job house sitting for my two dogs and two cats. Both the dogs and the cats seemed happy and relaxed when I came back, and she was able to stay an extra night when my return flight was cancelled. I received pictures and updates throughout my trip.”
About: I’ve been trusted to care for other people’s animals for over 15 years, with experience ranging from in-home pet sitting and hosting animals in my own home to fostering, training, and grooming dogs. I have a cat of my own and a geriatric dog, so I’m comfortable caring for pets at different life stages and with different needs. I’m also comfortable with medically complex animals and understand the importance of following care instructions carefully and paying close attention to changes in behavior or health. I’ve even maintained a multi-dog hiking route in the past, giving me plenty of experience safely managing and caring for multiple animals at once. Above all, I treat every pet like they’re my own and strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. As a full-time student with excellent time-management skills, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care and work around each pet’s individual routine. I’m able to plan my days around feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and companionship, rather than treating pet care as an afterthought. I’m dependable, organized, and happy to accommodate the needs and schedules of the animals in my care. I treat the trust someone places in me with their pet as a privilege, and it’s one I never take for granted. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or theirs, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine as much as possible. I take the time to learn their individual personality, needs, and preferences, and I provide the same patience, attention, and care that I would want someone to give my own animals. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely comfortable while you’re apart.
“Perfect pet sitter for Gwen! Heed on her and sent me tons of pictures of how she was doing. He not only took amazing care of my baby, but great care of my apartment too. I appreciate everything Austin did and highly recommend him as a pet sitter! Thank you again so much, Austin!”

“Bentley took our rover request las minute and was able to provide great service to our pups. Communication was great as we received pictures and even videos while we were gone. Would definitely recommend!”
“Carmen was an amazing dog sitter! She kept in communication with me on a daily basis, as I asked, she followed all the instructions I left her for my dog and the house such as taking the trash out and watering the plants. When she wasn’t sure of something, she would check in with me to ask which I really appreciated. I would absolutely recommend Carmen as a sitter and I will definitely use her services again! My dog loved her and was well taken care of.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets within the family and they always love coming over. Pets are like family in my home. Taking them out for walks or keeping them active I believe is crucial for every pup. Their safety is my priority and making sure they feel comfortable at my home. I’m currently a stay at home mom and I’m always looking out for my dog when I’m home and playing with or taking her for afternoon walks. My schedule is currently mostly open and flexible! I have a fenced backyard and one pug who loves to play. Summer(my dog) will want to play with your pup but, if she notices the dog isn’t interested she will back up and do her own thing. My neighborhood is really safe area and there isn’t much traffic. I do have an extra crate where your pup can nap.
About: I am rancher with a PhD in chemistry that loves the outdoors. Taking care of your pets while you are away is my favorite pastime. I am a chemist at the Biosphere 2, my weekends and week schedule is very flexible and I am always happy to accommodate your schedule. I am trained to give vaccines and any medications and will also keep notes of feeding and walking activities throughout the pet's stay with me as their care giver.
“I had super anxiety about leaving my dogs with someone we didnt know. Danny did more than 100% of taking care of my furbabies. I would recommend him again and again. He is trustworthy and loves animals. He sent me pictures and videos of the dogs because he knew how much anxiety I had. The next time I need a sitter ot someone I know I will be contacting Danny!!!!”

Mariah did a wonderful job taking care of my dogs and kitty cat while I was away from home. She came and met them before I left and my dogs were immediately calm in her presence. She showed up on time communicated about her availability, and I came home to three very happy pups! It’s always nice to know your family members are in good hands while you’re unable to be at 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 Oracle 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 Oracle 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Oracle 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!

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 .
