“Debbie was AWESOME! She kept us updated each day on how our babies were doing and sent us pics of them. She played with them and gave them tons of special attention. I highly recommend Debbie to look after your pets. Thanks Debbie!”
“Grayson was awesome! She truly cares about your pet as if they were her own. Grayson kept us updated with everything and how our Brink was doing. He is a senior dog that requires a lot of attention and care, and Grayson did an excellent job! We will use her anytime we need pet care in the future!”

“Bo is an absolute blessing to me and my babies! She stayed at my house for 3 nights and kept me updated with photos. She was very responsive. I came home to happy pets and a clean house. I would absolutely recommend Bo, the dog whisperer! We love her!!”

“Patricia was outstanding with our two fur babies. Being a new sitter for them, I was worried it would take awhile for them to warm up to her. However, that was not the case and they were super relaxed when we came home. They received lots of walks and attention! Looking forward to scheduling with her again. Thanks Patty!!!”


About: I have had pets for as long as I can remember and over the years I have pet sat and house sat for many people. I am an early to rise and a late to bed. Mornings and evenings are the easiest for me to work into my regular schedule, but with enough notice I will try to adjust my regular schedule. Keeping pets in their own homes and with their usual routine is very important to me. It helps to keep them comfortable while their human is away. If there is no fenced in backyard going for long walks is my favorite. If you do not have a leash I have plenty I can bring since I have 3 dogs in my own home .
“Bethany was super communicative and followed all of the instructions I left. She took care of our two cats and crazy 2 year old lab puppy and wasn’t phased by her high energy and need for play. I will use her services again in a heartbeat. So thankful.”


About: Hi friends! Thanks for taking the time to read my bio. I'm here because I would LOVE to get some steps in with your fur baby! Or just chill and give them back scratches if thats their preference. I love all dogs, no matter their age or breed. Volunteering at shelters has been a hobby of mine since childhood. Ive been a dog walker for Wag! for years but am switching to Rover because the Wag app is terribly glitchy. My most recent adventure has been fostering shelter pups - we currently had a foster fail situation which is how I got my current fur child, Indie. I've always adopted shelter dogs; to include labs, pitbulls, mixed breeds, and now a goldendoodle! I joined Rover in hopes of doing it more because I enjoy helping busy people take care of their precious pups. I'm a FOND believer of spoiling your pets. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about my knowledge or experience. :) I'm currently in between jobs and have LOTS of time to love on your precious fur baby. Let's schedule some time together and make some memories! I'm in a 2 bedroom apartment with a friendly goldendoodle to keep your pup company. Our days consist of many walks, and going to the dog park. We have one in the complex but I also enjoy going to the city parks. I am happy to let your baby sleep in the bed with me or I can crate them. Whatever your preference is, let's talk about it.

“Sarah was great! She was on time and responds quickly. She communicated well and kept us up to date with how our pups were doing. Came home to a spotless home. We will book Sarah again! Thanks for everything.”

“Raylin was amazing! She sat our two pups in our house for almost a week. This was the first time we have left them alone at home this long and she took great care of them. They really took to her. We will definitely reach back out to Raylin when we need a sitter again!”

“We have two dogs and Joanne took great care of them. Banksy goes to boot camp in two weeks and isn’t the easiest. She stayed with them and made them feel comfortable while communicating with us consistently.”


About: There’s not a pet in the world I’ve met that I didn’t get along with. Lots of experience with senior dogs and specialized diets for dietary restrictions. Certified medical assistant so broad medical knowledge that helps with animals as well. Right now, I’m flexible to do a lot of different services. I work in central Pensacola and can stop in for potty breaks and short walks during the work day and can do overnight stays if needed. I respect my client’s home, space, and furry family member. I was raised by military parents that instilled very good morals and values in me.

About: Hi! My name is Becca and I personally have had animals my entire life but besides personal experience I have been working as a kennel assistant at a veterinary clinic for a year now. I’ve had experience with everything from itty bitty babies to senior citizens. I’m currently in my undergrad at college to eventually attend vet school and I would absolutely love to meet your fur babies and hopefully gain more animal experience in the process!! If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to reach out. If I have a time blocked off you need, contact me, I’d be more than happy to work with you on anything. I’m also open to adding basic grooming services such as baths and nail trims if needed🐾 I’m currently working and attending college so my availability would usually include mornings and nights on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday & as of right now Saturday and Sunday. However I am available in the morning, afternoon, and nights on Monday and Wednesday until approximately October! I’ll always respect and care for your home and fur babies as if they were my own. I will follow any given instructions you leave for your pet and I’ll make sure they are safe, comfortable, and well taken care of while you’re away!!
About: I started working at the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo in animal husbandry, then I ended up working at an animal hospital. I have been a veterinary technician for about 6 years. In this time I have gained a lot of medical experience with animals and have learned how to truly care for pets. I am able to care for older animals as well as any fur babies on medicine. I have a dog and a cat myself, so I know how hard it is to leave them to go on vacation. I am here to give your fur babies all the love and comfort so that you can go wherever you need to go without worrying. I am available to take care of your babies at any time of the week. I do have two pups of my own that I may have to go home to let out if staying at your home. If your babies are staying at our home then they will all get plenty of play time and couch naps. I am willing to come by a few times a day to let your animals out to use the bathroom, love on them, and feed them. I am also able to stay at the home if needed. I am willing to take your fur babies on walks if they need the extra exercise as well!

About: I have helped raise and train 4 dogs. I dog sit my parents golden retriever and Bernadoodle anytime they go out of town. I love all animals and would love to take care of them! I currently work the dinner shift at Oso in orange beach. I typically only work 3-9/10 and would be available anytime during the day and can even stop by after I get off for a night walk and treats. I live in an apartment so I am unable to bring in extra pets but can easily adapt to your pets routine in your home.

About: I’ve been a dedicated dog owner for many years and currently care for two Labrador mixes of my own, including a senior dog and a younger, active dog. Through daily walks, feeding routines, medication management when needed, and providing plenty of love and attention, I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for dogs with different needs and energy levels. Friends and family have trusted me to help care for their pets, and I understand how important it is to have someone reliable looking after your furry family members. I will treat every pet in my care as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work a full-time job Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM, but I’m available mornings, evenings, and weekends. Weekends are especially flexible for me, allowing plenty of time for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and quality care. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability so you know exactly what to expect. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I understand that trusting someone with your furry family member is a big decision, and I am committed to providing dependable, attentive care while keeping you updated with messages and photos. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions to help them feel comfortable and secure. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay in your home, I will treat your pet with the same care and respect that I give my own. Please note that I live in an apartment and am unable to provide boarding or pet sitting in my home. However, I am available for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting in your pet’s familiar environment, where many pets feel most relaxed and comfortable.

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for animals through pet sitting, overnight stays, dog walking, farm sitting, and veterinary care experience. I have cared for pets with a wide range of needs and am comfortable caring for anything from one pet to households with five or more dogs at a time. My experience includes feeding, walking, bathing, brushing, hand-feeding when needed, and administering medications according to an owner’s instructions. My veterinary care experience has also helped me become comfortable with pets who may need a little extra attention or a more specific care routine. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets and your home. I make it a priority to follow each owner’s instructions closely and keep pets as comfortable and consistent with their normal routine as possible. Whether your pet needs walks and playtime, lots of attention, or simply someone dependable to keep them company while you’re away, I’m happy to provide care based on their individual needs. I currently work full-time Monday through Friday, with my work hours falling between approximately 8 AM and 6 PM depending on the day. My schedule varies from week to week, but I am still very flexible with pet care and am happy to work with you to find times that fit your pet’s routine. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, recurring care, and house sitting. For house sitting, I am happy to stay overnight and care for your pets before and after work, as long as they are comfortable being home during my work hours. I am also available on weekends and will always be upfront about my schedule so we can make sure your pet receives the care and attention they need. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your pet. I treat every animal and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, potty routines, and any special care needs. I have experience administering medications, hand-feeding when needed, and caring for pets with different routines and needs. Safety is always a priority, so I am careful with doors, gates, leashes, and any specific instructions you provide. I also love sending photos and updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and being well cared for.
“Caitlin is AWESOME! We have 2 large dogs that can be a lot to handle but she made us feel very comfortable that our dogs and our home would be well looked after. She is polite, thoughtful, and did everything we needed-plus some. Our dogs are usually exhausted and anxious when they come home from a boarding facility, but this time, they were just happy to see us and seemed like their normal selves! We will be booking her again very soon.”

About: I have years of experience caring for sick puppies to elderly pups. I love all dogs and provide the best possible care for them. No breed restrictions. I have a fairly flexible schedule so I am able to accommodate most any need. My whole life literally revolves around animals from transporting rescue pups to caring for my own. I provide services in clients homes where they are most comfortable. I make sure to get any special instructions from the owner and always take extra care to make sure doors are closed and locked.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Oyster Bay on Rover is $62.72 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 313 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Oyster Bay. 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 Oyster Bay 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 Oyster Bay 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 Oyster Bay 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Oyster Bay. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
