“Whitney (Paige) was wonderful! She was responsive, accommodating, and so easy to get along with, in general. She gave my babies so much love and attention and even slept with them, which was really important to me. I definitely recommend her and will hire her again the next time I'm out of town!”

“Justinh and Patrick are the most fantastic pet sitters we’ve ever had. While we were on vacation 6+ hours away one of our dogs was unfortunately bit by a venonmous snake in our backyard and Justinh noticed immediately that she had a large amount of swelling and discoloration to her mouth and nose. Justinh communicated with us instantly by phone and kept us updated on her condition. She provided medication to her and sent pictures. After a few hours we determined our dog needed emergency level care and she and her husband Patrick drove our baby to the nearest pet ER. She kept us updated on the care she received from the vet and helped facilitate the paperwork with questions that might have asked. They stayed with our dog while they performed blood tests and let us know what the outcome was. When it was deemed she had been bite by a snake she quickly let us know and our baby received the best care for the next two days to come. She even picked up our dog when she was discharged home and stayed for the duration of the day to ensure she received her medication and was safe until we could get home. I can’t say enough good things about Justinh and Patrick. They made us feel confident that our dogs were taken care of and even more so when we had an emergency come up. They treated our babies like family and I can’t wait to have them watch our dogs again in the future.”

“Kristen went above and beyond when she sat for my 2 pups for 9 days. She sent pictures daily and bonded well with them. My home was clean and tidy when we arrived home. Can't say enough good words about Kristen. We will certainly call on her again to care for our "babies"!!”

About: I’m new to Rover, but I’m absolutely not new to caring for pets. I’ve had both cats and dogs for years, and I’m the person friends and neighbors trust when they need someone dependable who actually cares. I pay close attention to routines and what each animal needs to feel comfortable, and I follow instructions exactly so everything goes smoothly. I’m great with shy or sensitive pets, and I know how to keep them calm, happy, and feeling safe. I’m not a professional trainer, but I’m very comfortable with everyday care, basic commands, and keeping pets on their normal routine. Your pet will be in good hands with me—treated with patience, kindness, and the same love I give my own. I work from home part-time, have two kids in daycare, and a flexible schedule, so I can easily fit pet care into my week, including weekends. I can care for pets in my home, where they’ll have a safe, comfortable space to relax and play. I have a fully fenced yard, so pets can enjoy some fresh air safely. I do have young children and will only take dogs/cats that are safe being around children, for both of our safety.

About: My genuine interest and love for my own babies coupled with their happy, carefree, and free-roam attitudes makes me a prime & the right candidate to be your pet's new friend. I have two furbabies that I absolutely love & adore. I understand the importance and severity of wanting them to go... unfortunately, they simply can't for whatever reason. So, you do the next best thing, you hire me. Give me the opportunity to extend my love, adoration and safe environment to your furbaby (canine or feline). If you hire me, worrying about your pet will be the least of your worries, as it should be. Help me to help you give your pet a vacation-like stay while you're away. You'll be glad you did. I'm retired so I'm home all day. I have lots of time to hang, lounge and play with your furbaby(ies) and I'll enjoy every minute In my home and client's home, the treatment is basically the same. Furbabies are given cuddles, hugs, and attention. They are fed, walked and allowed to run around and squabble in the back yard.
“Tabitha was amazing! I had to leave for a family emergency and she took the best care of my pets and house leaving me stress free! Continuous updates with pictures every morning afternoon and evening with updates throughout the day! Her communication is top tier!”


About: (Note to new clients: Please talk to me BEFORE you CONFIRM a booking so I can help you SAVE, thank you!) I am located in Killeen. I love small dogs more than anything else, and have been told by the people who met me and my dogs that I am the best dog owner based on how well cared for my little furry friends look. I can help you take care of your precious dogs so that you can have your mind at ease and enjoy your holidays 😊 I also provide flat rate spa service at $65 per small dog. This includes bathing, drying, eye and ear wash, nail trimming, haircut/deshedding, and styling. Thank you for your interest! I have many years of experience in taking care of both puppies and adults of small breeds. I will do everything within my power to ensure their safety and happiness. My house will be the cleanest and safest environment for your small dogs. No health hazards, no medium/big dogs, no cats, no loud noises, no human kids, no chaos. I do not even own a TV, and I play the piano to them sometimes. This is a calm, beautiful place with nice little doggy friends, cozy beds, fun toys, a cute outdoor playground, exciting activities, and lots of love and attention. (My strict cancellation policy is to make sure my potential clients are absolutely serious about sending their babies to my place, because my time is extremely valuable and 100% dedicated to the dogs in my care. I also cannot afford to have people changing their minds after taking up the spot of someone else who had really needed it. I hope you understand, thank you so much ❤️) 🌷$50 PER OVERNIGHT BOARDING SESSION INCLUDING 🌷 - Two meals and two treats a day.

About: I’ve grown up caring for all sorts of pets, I don’t remember a time in my life when there wasn’t a cat or a dog. I love meeting and caring for all animals and I foster when I can. I would love to care for your fur baby. I currently have an open schedule, my every day is mostly caring and spending time with my pets. I’m very much so a homebody. I only go out about twice a month for a night. I have a fenced in yard for potty time and the whole home is offered for space to explore, get comfortable and play. I also have 2 dogs that love to play and cuddle so you for baby will never be bored or cold. I almost constantly have eyes on my pets and will always be making sure your pet is comfy and cared for. I do have a cat, so other cats that I watch will have their own litter box and their own eating area for optimal comfort.
About: I love all animals. I’ve both taken care of and owned all size, age, and breeds. Senior dogs have a special place in my heart. I am currently working from my home and are afforded the opportunity and flexibility to watch, care for, and/or board your pets at all times! I have a fenced yard and friendly pups that can either be a part of the fun or not. I also have a crate if needed.
“Maya was amazing! She kept us updated sent pictures of them. My babies were very well taken care of and I never had to worry about them. 10/10 definitely recommend and will rebook!!”


About: For the past 14 years, caring for dogs has been more than just a responsibility — it’s been a true passion of mine. From raising and loving my own dog to caring for others as if they were part of my family, I’ve gained hands-on experience in providing patient, attentive, and compassionate care. I’m comfortable with daily walks to keep them active and happy, bath time to keep them clean and fresh, and administering medications when needed. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and special needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, feeding schedules, or extra care for senior dogs, I treat every pup like my own — with kindness, responsibility, and lots of belly rubs. I’m a business owner so my time is flexible. With advance notice I can be available as needed and I can also be available on short notice as long as I’m available I have a fenced yard and a crate inside the house if needed. Your dog will be supervise at all time. Your dog is allowed on our sofa and free to roam around the house
“This was the second time Alexandra took care of our dogs and cat. Both times she took excellent care of our pets. She provided updates and included pictures. Would book with her again.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of every age and need since I was 10 — from rowdy puppies and playful kittens to senior pets with special requirements. I’m comfortable administering oral and topical medications, tracking dosage schedules, and watching for changes in appetite, mobility, or behavior. With senior pets, I focus on gentle routines, extra rest, and close attention to comfort. With younger pets, I prioritize safe socialization, play, and structure so they get the interaction and exercise they need. I offer boarding and house sitting, so pets stay in a comfortable, familiar routine whether they’re in my care or their own home. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me for years to feed, medicate, and care for their pets like my own. I’m currently working part-time from home, so I have plenty of flexibility to give your pets real attention, not just a quick check-in. Here’s what a typical visit or stay looks like: • Available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 2pm • Flexible daytime drop-ins for medication schedules and older pets who need consistency • Extra playtime and outdoor walks built into every visit, not rushed • Happy to adjust timing around your pet’s normal routine so nothing feels disrupted I treat every pet like my own, with a strong focus on both physical safety and mental enrichment. Here’s what you can expect: • Fenced yard and two friendly, dog-savvy dogs to keep your pet company • Daily outdoor time for fresh air, sniffing, and exercise — not just a backyard bathroom break • Enrichment activities like puzzle feeders, treat-scattering, and interactive play to keep their mind engaged • Comfortable crating available if that’s part of your pet’s routine • Careful medication administration and monitoring for any dogs or cats with health needs • A calm, decorated, pet-friendly space that feels like home, not a kennel
About: I have experience caring for puppies and senior dogs, including handling medications, providing frequent bathroom breaks, and making sure they are loved. I understand older and younger pets need different specialized care. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and I make it a priority in my daily routine. I’m happy to work around my schedule to care for your pets needs. I treat every pet like they are my own and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I always follow feeding schedules and give them plenty of attention.

FAQs for House Sitting - Oscar
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 379 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Oscar. 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 Oscar 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 Oscar 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 Oscar 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 with handling special pet needs in Oscar. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
