“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Amber! We have multiple pets, including a very fickle and sometimes difficult Newfie, and she handled everything so patiently and confidently. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pets were being cared for by someone who truly understood them and took the time to make them comfortable. She provided frequent updates, pictures, and communication throughout the stay, which we appreciated so much. It was obvious our pets were getting lots of attention, care, and love while we were away. Coming home to happy, relaxed animals says everything. We will absolutely book again and highly recommend Amber to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and compassionate sitter — especially if you have large breeds or dogs with unique personalities!”
“This was our first time having Tanya stay at our home to watch our dogs, and she was absolutely wonderful! She sent us great updates each day and took the best care of our pups and home. She truly cares about the well being of animals which gave us peace of mind that our dogs were in great hands while we were gone. We highly recommend her, and anyone would be lucky to have her sit for them. Thank you so much Tanya. Our dogs loved spending the long weekend with you!”

“Brooke is a so amazing with our gentle giant and always leaves the house better than she found it. We trust and appreciate her staying in our home anytime and loving on our pup so well. She is very reliable and goes above and beyond to take care of our home and dog while we are away. We definitely recommend Brooke and will 100% hire her again!”
“Sammie did a great job watching my two big dogs (130 lbs bullmastiff and 75 lbs goldendoodle) for the weekend! She sent great updates with pictures and even took them to the dog park which looked like they had a blast! She cleaned up after herself and left the house in good shape. Would definitely have her back to watch the pups again!”
“Cari is just wonderful with our puppers. It’s obvious that she’s built a great relationship with them and that they really like her. Bonus points on keeping the house incredibly clean.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs and other animals for as long as I can remember! My family bred bully breeds for most of my life and I have 3 of my own that require a lot of extra care. I am comfortable around all dogs and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal. I will take care of your pets like my own❤️! I have had just about every animal you could think of as well growing up and have a snake and bearded dragon currently if you have other animals that need caring for as well. I am new to rover but have plenty of experience with caring for my parents dogs, friends of my parents dogs, and a few neighbors pets. I currently work 9-5, Tuesday-Sunday in Blaine but have some flexibility and am available in the morning and evenings and all day Sunday and Monday! I have my own French bulldog boots who is the sweetest dog and I care for her through the day and I only have a part time job a couple days a week right now so my schedule is pretty much open! I have new beds, crates and a fenced in yard if needed care at my home. I stay at both mine and my significant others house , both perfect environments for dogs or small animals. I can care for your pet in your home as well if that is what you are looking for!
About: For 16 years I shared my life with Moose, my loyal sidekick, and he taught me everything about caring for a dog through every stage, from puppy mischief to senior-year slow walks. He's been gone four years now, and I've missed having a pup around, which is what brought me to Rover. I specialize in small and medium-sized dogs and live in a cozy townhouse. We don't have a yard, but your dog will get plenty of walks throughout the day, which most dogs prefer anyway. I work mostly from home with occaisional short shifts in the late afternoon/evening. I offer overnights, weekend stays, and drop-in visits, and I'll send photo updates so you always know how your dog is doing. I keep things calm and steady, and I stick to your dog's routine so they feel at home. I work mostly from home and have a PT job outside of the home where I mostly work short evening shifts from 4 - 8 pm. Other than that, I am home for morning, afternoon, and evening walks and to care for your pet's needs. Your dog's safety is my top priority. I work mostly from home, so your pup has company for most of the day. I have occasional late-afternoon shifts from 4 to 8 pm, and on those days your dog gets a good walk and potty break right before I leave and again as soon as I get home. My townhouse is pet-proofed, doors and gates stay closed, and walks are always on-leash. I follow your instructions for feeding, medications, and routines, and I'll check in with photos and updates so you never have to wonder. If anything comes up, you'll hear from me right away, and I'll have your vet's info and emergency contacts handy.
“We were so happy to find Julia on Rover! She is extremely reliable, knowledgeable about dogs, and kept our house spotless while dogsitting our 2 miniature poodles for 5 nights. We highly recommend Julia!”
“Hailey was super amazing! Great communication, and very friendly. Kept me updated throughout her stay so I knew what was going on, which was very much appreciated.”
“Michael was amazing - honestly gave us total peace of mind having him care for our two energetic giant schnoodles during the worst winter weather. He had great communication and was very attentive to the routines and moods of our dogs that we knew they were in good hands. I can't thank him enough for his care and would most definitely be booking him for any future care. Thank you!!”
“Kayla did a great job caring for our pets and our home while we were away. She checked in daily and we were at ease knowing she had everything under control. We will definitely be reaching out when we need a pet sitter in the future.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Oxlip
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,410 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Oxlip. 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 Oxlip 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 Oxlip 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 Oxlip 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.

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.
