“Julie did a fabulous job taking care of my dog, Eloise! She made time to meet Eloise before the house sitting was scheduled, sent photos and update texts during the stay and communicated so well. I was a little nervous since this was my first time using Rover, but am so grateful for Julie! Will definitely rebook if I need a dog sitter again.”

About: I’ve grown up with cats and big dogs and I love all of them. I’ve been dog sitting for close family and friends for a long time now and I truly enjoy it! I’m a full time college student working a part time job, but I still have plenty of free time to care for your pets! I’m able to make time for the dogs I have watched before. When I care for a pet in a clients home, I usually follow instructions they leave to a T. I also pay attention to the animal and anything they might need! I’m a tidy person as well, and often leave homes better than I found them.

“Sarah & Ty are such a sweet, kind couple who did a phenomenal job dog-sitting our 4.5 month old puppy for a weekend! They were extremely communicative the days leading up to the drop-off, and they kept us well updated while they had her. They were even totally happy to be flexible when my husband and I asked if we could pick her up later than we had originally planned. When we brought our puppy home from their house, she slept long and hard, so they clearly kept her busy and entertained! We are so happy we choose them to dog-sit; I 110% recommend Sarah & Ty for all your pet sitting needs!!”

About: I grew up on a farm and I’ve always had dogs and a cat. Small, big, energetic, calm, senior, special needs you name it, I love them! When your fur baby is under my care they receive love and they are treated like royalty. Pets are special beings that deserve the best care, especially when their humans are away. I do need up-to-date veterinary records onsite for all pets for state compliance. I’m currently a part-time substitute teacher. I’ve got a very flexible schedule; during the summer and holidays I am completely free. I walk daily for my health and love having company with pets. To start off, my background is in healthcare and behavioral therapy. My degrees is a Bachelors of Science in Business Administration focusing in Marketing and HR. I am level headed and calm in nature. Currently I have been working as a substitute teacher for a couple of local school districts and I have lots of time on my hands. I have a fenced in backyard to run around and play. I have a gentle Burmese Mountain dog that would love to entertain your pet. Our family is usually outside in the mornings and cuddle on the couch during the evenings. We treat all pets like our own. When I am in your home I take extra precautions so that you come home with no surprises or inconveniences. Communication is key.

About: I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely love caring for animals. I take time to understand each pet’s personality and needs, whether that’s playtime or extra attention. You can count on me to treat your pet like family and keep you updated so you always feel at ease. I take care of my three cats morning and night, feeding them three times a day with fresh water at every meal. This routine has taught me the importance of consistency, attention, and creating a calm environment for pets. I’m experienced in providing loving care, monitoring their needs closely, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable throughout the day. I am more than happy to take care of your dogs as well! When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize maintaining their regular routine to keep them comfortable and stress free. I follow your instructions carefully, whether it’s feeding schedules, exercise, or medication, and give each pet plenty of attention and affection. I make sure their environment stays clean and safe, and I provide updates so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old including a senior and am very passionate about animals. I’ve also had experience with dog sitting for friends, family and neighbors. I’m currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time for your pups! I have my own dog who is a very energetic breed so I can handle hyper dogs. I have a fenced in yard and a sweet girl dog that I take care of. I’m not available for boarding but am very comfortable with going to any house/apt.

About: I’ve had several family dogs growing up which jumpstarted my passion and love for animals. Over a year ago I adopted my own dog from a local shelter(it was the best decision I have ever made)! Throughout high school I would pick up dog sitting gigs, where I would watch after the house and tend to the pets needs, providing love and enrichment. Im very flexible with my schedule and would love to help a fellow pet parent out! I currently am enrolled in college, and finish classes in the early afternoon and will be working a part-time job at the university. With this being said it will leave me with plenty time for your fur babies! I live in an apartment with a dog park where your furry friend is always welcome! I also have a very friendly rescue pup of my own, and she’s always looking for a new friend! Having a border collie mix, I know the importance of walks and frequent enrichment!

About: I have cared for and had pups and cats since I started elementary school, but I picked up the bigger responsibilities with caring for critters around age 15. I have three labs, (ages four, three and two), one cat and a fish. My two females have each had a healthy litter of ten puppies that I cared and found homes for! I am very attentive to my animals and their needs and even more so to other creatures. I currently work as a dog groomer and boarding technician which has given me knowledge on many different temperaments of pups and techniques on how to uniquely tend to them while having safety and care as top priority. Caring for my animals is weaved into my daily routine. I wake up early enough to tend to my pups before my kids wake up to ensure everyone’s needed are met. Depending on the weather we typically have afternoon playtimes or walkies or we will have some water play to end a hot day. Checking water/feed, refreshing water and feed, bath and brushing, and administering medications are all just a part our normal routine list at home for our critters. for in-home visits I am prepared to accompany your animal in any weather and follow through with what your pet is accustomed to. The comfort and safety of your animal is most important. I have emergency numbers for vets and contacts to assist me in an emergency situation (choking, wound, any current illnesses like seizures, etc). Saying that I am NOT a licensed veterinarian.

About: I love have had pets all my life. From living on a farm when I was younger with cows, dogs, cats, and chickens to now where I have 2 wonderful fur babies. I've been in healthcare for over 20yrs. I enjoy taking care of others, and giving piece of mind. I know how anxious I am when I can't be there for my doggies, so I wold definitely keep that in mind with your animals in my care. I work 3 days a week, so I have plenty of spare time to spend with your fur babies . I have a flexible schedule, but I know my schedule weeks in advance. I have lots of room in my home, and there is no place my dogs CANT go. They are allowed on the furniture, and so would your pets. If I am watching your pets in your home then I would treat your home as if it was my own.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 5 and I’ve loved it ever since. I’ve had owned many dogs and cats. I’ve helped with pets of all ages, from tiny babies to sweet seniors. I’m going to school for animal behavior and care because animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I love making sure they’re happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. Right now, I am going to school online for my bachelors while working! Pet care is the perfect way for me to stay busy doing something I love while also helping people out. It fits into my routine really well right now because I have the time and flexibility, and it gives me experience for my future career with animals. It’s a win-win, I get to be around pets and give them the love and care they deserve while I’m in this in-between stage. When I’m caring for pets in someone’s home, I treat it like my own, with a lot of respect and care. I always follow your instructions closely because every pet has their own routine and comfort zone. I make sure they feel safe, loved, and relaxed while you’re away. Whether it’s sticking to their feeding schedule, giving meds, or just keeping them company, I focus on creating a calm and happy environment. I know how much trust it takes to let someone into your home, and I don’t take that lightly.

FAQs for House Sitting - Oronogo

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Oronogo on Rover is $27 per night as of September 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $40 per night. 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 September 2026, there are 66 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Oronogo. 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 Oronogo 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 Oronogo 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 Oronogo 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 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 Meet & Greet .

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
