“Trevor was great. He made me feel comfortable leaving my dog in his care. He sent me pictures of him. His communication was excellent. I will be booking him again”
“Jeff was a perfect dog sitter💕. He took care of my dog like he owned him and made him feel welcomed throughout his stay! I received photos throughout my trip too! I have already rebooked with him for my next few trips!”
“I have a large working line GSD and a blue and gold macaw. Margot was responsive and was able to help me out with short notice. I have a senior dog so there are a lot of supplements and meds to keep up with and everything was just as I left it when I returned. She did an excellent job! I can tell by my dog's behavior when I return if I have a good sitter as he definitely shows stress. It was like I went to work and came home. No anxiety or stress for my pup! Thanks Margo!”
About: i’ve taken care of all different types of animals and rescued more then i can count i love animals so much so that’s part of the reason i’m here also to pay with school i can take care of animals all day i do school from home so that’s another reason why i wanted to try this app i feel like i’d be a very good fit i have a fenced in yard and a open home i’m often in my room doing school and when im not i’m always taking care of my plants so the animals will most likely just be chilling sleeping in my room and then go outside with me in the fenced back yard
“Melissa was amazing! She came and met my Pixie before we had to go on our trip. She sent me pictures everyday and let me know how she was. Melissa was super nice and did more then needed!!”
About: My love for dogs isn’t just a hobby, it’s a lifelong commitment. For the past 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for countless dogs for friends and neighbors, treating each one with the same love and dedication I give my own. They are truly the best and I pour out that genuine affection in every moment I spend with them. I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time available to share with your pup! I am a very active person with high energy ready to go. I have a fenced yard, love to walk and have a small friendly elder dog to keep your fur baby company if they are at my house. We will follow whatever your normal routine is to make sure they feel the best they can without you.
“Everything was perfect. Highly recommended pet sitters. We got daily updates and great photos. They had excellent communication and we never worried at all. Our house was very clean even though coming home early. We will be calling them again!”
“Jayla house sat for us while we were out of the country for a wedding and was amazing. She took great care of our dog (including ear medicine), kept us updated, and left our place spotless. No issues at all, would book again”
“If we lived locally we would use Cheyenne again and again!! She came through for us while in town for a wedding. She did a great job putting our pup at ease, and she is a very anxious pup! I would trust her with any pet, any time. Excellent and professional dog sitter, we are very happy!”

About: Though I do not have a yard, I do understand the importance of daily activity (especially for dogs) and in regards to that, I live in close proximity to two dog parks. Growing up around different animals, I’ve grown fond, familiar, and comfortable with caring for different species (from rodents to felines and canines and pretty much anything in between). I am looking to make extra money and gain experience with different breeds of animals, as I am planning to embark on a journey into veterinary school. I love all animals and believe wholly in treating and caring for them correctly. I’ve had cats, dogs, rodents (gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs) , ferrets, birds, reptiles (leopard geckos and turtles), and rabbits just to name a few. I’m always willing to go the extra mile for an animal (whether it’s my pet or not) and I get along with practically any animal and fully believe in building a strong bond with pets.
“Allison is an absolutely amazing doggie sitter! I just moved to the area recently and had to find someone last minute to watch my girls for the weekend while I was out of town. Allison came through! I really appreciate her coming by the day before to meet the girls and to take note of everything. I asked for her to check on the girls a few times a day, but otherwise at night they would be fine alone, because once they go to sleep for the night, they are passed out until morning. She text me every morning when she arrived and let me know how the girls were. She stayed quite a few hours each visit giving the girls plenty of love and attention, even though they even sleep a lot during the day lol. She sent me plenty of photos while I was away so I could see the girls having fun. Once she was done for the evening she would message me again letting me know the girls were good and she had locked up for the night. Her watching my girls made me feel at ease while I was away. I definitely think my girls had a blast and really enjoyed their time with Allison, so much so, the last photo she took of them when she said her goodbyes, I could see them pouting seeing that she was leaving. That’s how I know they really liked her, since they were sad to see her go. I think I have found my forever go to dog sitter. I would highly recommend using her if you need a kind, loving, and attentive person to take care of your fur babies while you’re away! 10 out of 10 would recommend and will definitely be rebooking for my next trips! Thank you again Allison for being so amazing with the girls!”

I have a fenced yard and one friendly dog, who is crate trained. I am able to create your dog if needed, give special care and spend time with them to give them company.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Oslo
Jayla, we are so grateful we found you to care for our dogs on our trip away. You took not only such good care of them but also of our home. When we returned the house was neat and clean and the dogs were literally glowing. We are so happy we have found you and look forward to having you house and dog sit for us again. We feel you became not only a friend to our pups but to us as well. Please reach out for anything! Thank you again so much!
This was our second booking with Reva, and all the furry ones were spoiled and happy. Reva communicated with me during both booking and always sends plenty of pictures (so I can see the shenanigans the dog and cats try to pull). I definitely recommend Reva to care for your pets
Kaitlyn was absolutely amazing! She stayed overnight for 4 days at my home to care for my two dogs, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing they weren’t alone. That meant everything to me. She was incredibly responsive, always on time, and kept me updated, which made the whole experience stress free. My dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when I got back. I would 100 percent recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. She’s a great choice!
We are so pleased Nadtali He did an excellent job watching our picky little maltese named Pookie. He was very attentive and she liked him a lot. He played with her and adhered to all our instructions. I would highly recommend him and look forward to hiring him again in the near future,

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Oslo on Rover is $44.4 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 540 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Oslo. 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 Oslo 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 Oslo 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 Oslo 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.

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.
