“Katrina was amazing! She stayed with our large pup for over a week and took amazing care of him. All the pics she sent showed him happy as can be and that’s pretty amazing as he can pout terribly when we’re away. She communicated beautifully and the house was cleaner than when we left. She’s absolutely lovely! We will always ask her any time we are away now. What a lifesaver!”
“Julie was amazing! She did a wonderful job with our cats, sent great pics and communicated daily. She went above and beyond, confirming that we had actually landed and made home. We will absolutely use her again! We came home to very happy cats!”
“Our puppy was VERY loved by Lydia. She sent pictures, updates, and even helped with puppy training. She left our house spotless and even washed dog blankets and her sheets! Lydia is fantastic and we are so grateful for her!”
About: Hi! We love all animals and don’t have our own kids so we treat our pets like kids and will treat yours like her own. We have two small poodle mixes that we love to spoil. We also have a huge fenced backyard so dogs love to come over and explore. My husband is a FedEx driver and his favorite part of the job is getting to meet all the animals along his route, he knows all their names and often takes pictures with them lol I work from home so my availability is very flexible. I have had dogs since I was born always in my household, so I am very comfortable especially with smaller medium size dogs we do care for large dogs we just ask for no aggressive dogs towards small dogs For the safety of our own pets, my older dog has to have medication, so I’m comfortable with all types if your dog has any special needs . We can’t wait to spoil your babies. We also know how important it is to have peace of mind while you’re out of town as we travel a lot too so we’re happy to send photos and videos of their daily activities. I work from home and my job is very flexible. I do yoga to get out of the house other than that I’m home a lot because I love to be with my dogs. My husband is a FedEx driver so he’s gone during the day but he comes home to also shower our puppies with love and he’s available on weekends to help, he loves to take dogs for walks We have a lot of experience at housesitting and pet sitting in other peoples homes. If that’s what your dog is more comfortable with. If our dogs are not allowed in your home, then either my husband and I would stay with your dogs, and one of us would stay at our house with our dogs. It’s whatever works best for you and what you’re comfortable with for your babies, we do have a large fenced in yard. That’s fun for dogs to explore. We also don’t have kids so we have lots of space in the house for the dogs to get comfy. You’re welcome to bring their bed over at first I separate my dogs using a doggie gate in my office so your dogs can get used to being at my house and feel more comfortable , then we can introduce them. We also are always looking for ways to be active so we’re happy to take your high energy pets for walks and throw the ball. We have a chuck it that works great in our backyard or your backyard.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and other pets all my life. I’ve taken care of family and friends pets of all kind. Cats, dogs, ferrets. I always make sure I have plenty of time to take care and play with your pup. My service schedule is updated for my availability. I work a part-time job. So my schedule is pretty open. I'll have plenty of time to exercise and check in on your pets. 😊 I have fenced in yard at my house. Perfect space for exercise, i also live walking distance to a park with a fenced in area.

About: Hello, I am Jennie, a 43-year-old mother and wife with considerable free time. With extensive experience in caring for dogs and cats throughout my life, I possess a strong foundation in animal care. Growing up in Alabama afforded me ample opportunities to care for a multitude of animals. My expertise extends to caring for pets of all ages, from young to elderly. Recently, I cared for my Labrador for 20 years, managing her kidney issues and frequent potty breaks during her last 5 years. She also developed arthritis in her joints, making once easy maneuvers a trial without my assistance. Currently, I care for a miniature schnauzer and a black Bombay cat. I have experience with dogs ranging from Great Dane to miniature schnauzer sizes. If you have any questions feel free to ask. I would love to make your baby feel loved and comfortable in your absence. With my children in their teens, I've gained some spare time. I limit my service area to guarantee swift responses to clients facing emergencies and needing immediate assistance. I recognize the value of a regular routine for pets and the potential disruption caused by deviations from it. I ensure your pet's daily feeding and transition schedule is closely monitored. As someone who enjoys spending time outdoors, I am more than willing to take your pet on a walk or short hike if they enjoy the outdoors. My Jeep is available for transporting pets of all sizes, including larger breeds.
“Rona is incredible! She is truly an animal whisperer and will put your dog or cat needs above everything else, including her own. I trust her completely and look to her for advice to get to know my own dog better!”
About: I make a special, detailed effort to pay close attention to your pet's emotional and physical needs and wants as well as their body language and vocal cues. I will always follow every parent's instructions. I am inquisitive about personalities and preferences and want to really get to know you and your pets to be able to offer the best care to your fur babies. I have spent many years as a devoted cat mama and I can never pass up a good old butt scratch or belly rub for those precious pups. My adornment and respect for our loyal furry companions runs deep. I vow to always treat your babies as if they were my own. I will always make a full attempt to keep my availability updated and accurate. Just as a disclaimer, if there is a specific day, time, or window of days you're in need of care that shows I'm not available, this may be due to the nature of how the availability scheduling works. Please reach out to me directly if this is the case. I more often than not will be able to work something out. For example, it could be because I have an appointment that day during a specific time window so if your care is not time sensitive I'm sure we can arrange for me to be of service outside that appointment time. I'm here to help so please reach out. I am currently in a career transitional phase of my life wanting to spend my time doing something I love which is spending time and giving love and care to our fur babies. This is my main priority in the career category of life therefore I currently have pretty open availability. My goal is to make this my full time career with hopes of gaining full time families to work with. Unfortunately due to my clan of kitties I can't offer pet care inside my home. My backyard is a good size and is fenced so it can be used for outdoor play and exercise. I am happy to travel to and spend time in your home taking care of your babies whether that be for a drop in feeding and affection session or for a stay while you're out of town. Most pets are more comfortable in their own home or familiar spaces anyway. I will always check with the parent to see if there are any special instructions, allergies, preferences, personality quirks, wants, or needs for your pets. Every animal has it's own personality and likes or dislikes. I am attentive to body language, alerts, and can often decipher what your pet needs. I always want every animal and owner to have confidence that I will treat your babies with love, compassion, and respect as well as your home and your space.
“Camille is an extraordinary caretaker. We have had pets with varying needs for many decades and Camille is a rare individual who is able to address the individual needs and idiosyncrasies of our brood. She was prompt, communicative and our fur babies were well cared for. No hesitations with Camille. She is a rockstar.”
“Breanna was wonderful both pet sitting and house sitting. She kept us updated and gave us so much peace of mind. She helped get our new rescue kittens more comfortable being around people and we will be using her again!”

My schedule is semi flexible. I am in the Navy and work different hours depending on the schedule, but never leave for more than 8 hours. I have a fenced yard and dog friendly house. They are allowed on the furniture and are free to roam anywhere in the house. I also have ring cameras throughout the house to check on them while I am away.

#1 Dog sitter! Ashlyn was amazing and wonderful. She did an outstanding job taking care of our dog. His normal sitter couldn't make it so we were a little nervous. She was understanding of our dog's needs. She was calm and communicative. She took care of our dog and home as if they were her own. We will definitely have her dog sit again! We are so pleased with Ashlyn!

FAQs for House Sitting - Oriole Beach
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Oriole Beach on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 630 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Oriole Beach. 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 Oriole Beach 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 Oriole Beach 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 Oriole Beach 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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
