“Naya did a wonderful job taking care of our two rambunctious boys while we were out of the country for a week. She sent regular updates and pictures while we were gone and was very responsive when we reached out. We came home to happy dogs and a clean house - nothing better than that!!”
“Ayshah stayed in our home to watch our two Frenchies. One was a puppy so he needed more care, time, patience and attention during our 3 night absence. She sent a daily picture.”
“This is a repeat booking. Sydney is a conscientious house sitter, they are great with the kitties, show up on time and even took care of taking out the trash and washing the bedding. 10/10 would recommend!”
“This was our first time using a pet sitting service and it was absolutely amazing! Aniyah is so sweet and kind and she treated our Kingston like her own from the very first time of meeting him. Aniyah sent us pictures and updates throughout the whole stay which made us feel so relieved and comfortable knowing our boy was being well looked after. If you're looking for a dog sitter we highly recommend Aniyah, she was the best!!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs since I was four, and they’ve always been a big part of my life. Caring for them makes me genuinely happy; they bring me peace and joy. I love making dogs feel safe, loved, and playful, and this job would let me earn money doing something I truly enjoy: spending time with animals. I currently work during the week at night so i am only available on the weekends and if needed during the week it would have to be early morning I always make sure pets are well fed, get plenty of playtime, and go on walks. I spend quality time with them so they feel comfortable, loved, and safe while in my care. SERVICES WILL BE DONE AT CLIENTS HOME
“Lanae did amazing with my two pups! I have an older greyhound and young golden retriever who have the exact opposite personalities haha. She did wonderful with both! She kept me updating throughout the day and sent wonderful pictures to let me know my pups were doing well. I am so grateful for the time she spent with them while we were away. I would recommend her to anyone Loki g for a wonderful dog/house sitter.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs through every stage of life, from raising puppies to supporting senior dogs with medical needs. My last dog was with me for 15 years and eventually became blind-she was also epileptic, so I’m very comfortable with patience, medication routines, senior care, and providing calm, attentive support to anxious or aging pets. I currently have a well-socialized 2-year-old Mini Schnauzer that I raised from 8 weeks old, so I understand the importance of structure, consistency, exercise, and positive interaction. As a retired military veteran, I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and home full time, which means pets in my care receive a lot of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy creating a calm, safe environment where pets feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m retired and home full time. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, medication support if needed, and lots of supervision throughout the day. Because I don’t have children or a demanding work schedule, I’m able to give pets consistent attention and maintain a calm, low-stress environment. In my home, pets have access to a safe, calm environment with a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, exercise, and potty breaks. I also have a friendly 2-year-old Mini Schnauzer who enjoys the company of other dogs. I follow each pet owner’s instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, walks, routines, medications, crate preferences, and exercise needs. I understand how important consistency is for pets, especially when they’re away from their owners. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible while also making sure they receive attention, affection, exercise, and attentive care.
“Sahara was wonderful! Our previous sitter cancelled last minute, and Sahara made herself available to watch our 3 dogs 5 days before we left for vacation! I always have some anxiety about leaving my pups for vacation, but Sahara made me feel comfortable that they were in great hands. She sent videos and photos daily, and kept me updated on how she was taking care of them. We will gladly use Sahara again and are so grateful for her!”
“Sean was absolutely wonderful. He played fetch with the boys, took them on walks, cuddled with the boys and KittyKat and checked in and sent pictures. When I arrived home the boys and KittyKat were excited to see me and very content and I could tell they were well cared for and enjoyed Sean. Lastly, Sean is a very respectful and thoughtful house guest and I enjoyed coming home to happy pups and cat and a clean home.”
“Lois did a fabulous job taking care of Hugh, our large dog. She stayed in our home while we were on vacation and sent us multiple updates and pics of our pup, plus she left our home spotless! We will definitely be using her again for our future pet-sitting needs.”
“Jasmine has taken care of our animals several times and has done a great job each time. I like having consistency when it comes to our animals caregiver and Jasmine is who we use exclusively.”
“Book this pet sitter! She is a dog whisperer!!! I can't say enough wonderful things about Mia. She stayed with my dog overnight for 4 days. My dog loved ❤️ her. Mia was also a great house guest in my home. Everything was very clean and tidy when I got back. She's a college student with lots of energy for your pet. I highly recommend her for the Lake Oconee area.”

I'll spend a lot of time getting to know your pet and customizing their experience with me. I'm open, communicative and I'll bond with your dog.

About: After spending my childhood years helping take care of dogs of many breeds and sizes, I naturally became a dog lover! I have been a dog owner for 15+ years to my pom-chi and I recently added a bichon-poo to my pack. They are treated like my babies as I have been nurturing them since they were puppies. Along side my mom's Chihuahua at times- the girls are very healthy, happy and playful. Outside of being a dog mom, I always have a love and connection to the animals and enjoy volunteering at the shelters and horseback ranch. I've administered oral and ear medication, post op care, given baths/grooming, brushing teeth, taken care of puppies... among other pet care needs. I signed up to provide these services as I enjoy the company of dogs. They're fun loving animals and a pleasure to take care of. I ensure to make your fur baby feel like they're at a home away from home. I currently live with 3 dogs and a cat of all different ages, while working from home full time. We have a routine of our own which other fur babies are welcome to join. I'm currently working from home full time and have time throughout the day to look after and care for your pets with plenty of play, rest, water and care. I have a fenced in back yard for the dogs to enjoy. My 2 other playful girls are there to join in on the fun while my senior dog can show off her favorite spots to lounge and sun bathe. I sometimes take the dogs for walks around my neighborhood so they're able to release energy and enjoy time outside the property. Although I am home, I do have crates available, if your dog prefers their own personal space. I've administered oral and ear medication, post op care, given baths/grooming, brushing teeth, taken care of puppies... among other pet care needs. In case of emergency, I'm 5 minutes away from a caring vet that I use as well as a 24 hour animal hospital.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Red Oak
We booked Saniya for a couple of nights to care for our dog at our house. She was very responsive, professional, caring, and respectful of staying at our house. We loved the daily updates and pictures while we were out of town. Most importantly, we came home to a happy, relaxed dog which was all thanks to Saniya. We will be reaching out to her again.
Mellanese was wonderful! She was polite, punctual, so sweet and great with our two golden retrievers. They loved her! Mellanese took good care of them and she reached out to us with updates. She left our home just as she found it. We hope she is available the next time we need a pet sitter.
Asher had a wonderful time with Destiny G and Tina her dog … he was well taken care of walked and fed. When we returned for pick up he was energetic and excited ready to show us the park she had been taking him too!! She also sent pics and video to ease our mind while we were away. 10 out of 10 will use again!!! Thank you

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 Red Oak 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 Red Oak 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 Red Oak 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.
