“Thomas was terrible! JUST KIDDING! I just want to keep him only for when I need him!😁 I couldn’t ask for anything more. He initially responded quickly. Showed up when we planned. He kept in touch with me. Sent pictures of my dogs when he was with them and left my house tidy. TJ, thank you again!”

“A wonderful experience for all of us, truly! Once returned from my trip I was greeted by two purring, loving cats. Stefanie took fantastic care of the two. The stunning photos I received showed me two happy looking cats every time. They adored Stefanie. I could not be more grateful for all attentiveness and tuning in with them. A heartfelt thank you!”
“Kasey was great with our bird and dog. They liked her right away and she took good care of them and our house while we were away. We appreciated her communications and photo updates and also her attention to details around the house. A snow storm was coming and she was kind enough to put our windshield wipers up. Very thoughtful.”
“We had a wonderful experience with our pet sitter Margaret! She took excellent care of my dog, Otto, and made sure he was happy, comfortable, and well-loved while I was traveling.

Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, responsible, kind and caring pet sitter!”

I really felt good that my dogs were in good hands all day.”

“We couldn’t be more thrilled with the care our dog Tazo received from Amruta. From the moment she arrived, it was clear that she had an amazing connection with Tazo. She was so attentive, playful, and loving towards him, making sure he feeling loved. We loved getting regular updates and pictures of Tazo, which gave us peace of mind throughout the day alleviating our own anxiety. One of the best moments was when we saw Tazo follow her out to her car, clearly wanting to go with her! It’s not every day that your dog forms such a strong bond with their sitter, and we’re so grateful for the time and care she gave him. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving for their pets!”

“Melanie was a true gift to us. She took great care of Kolya and Emma, dedicated to their well being from second 1 through the end. I was updated regularly and enjoyed their interactions from afar.

She communicated very well and left our apartment in excellent state. Highly recommend. Thank you.”

About: If you have an athletic or active dog, we are the hosts for you!!! Trips to parks (on and off leash), running the trails, and swimming in a Lake will happen every day.

Usually I go to the park go with my family who enjoy the day doing things outside the house.

I had pets before they pass away. We used to love our pets so much. We took CPR classes and emergency classes for pets just in case.
“Iliana took great care of our fur babies while we were away for the week. 2 of our 3 pups had to take medication and Iliana was very helpful in making sure they were administered as needed. I also received updates and photos during our time away, assuring they were having fun and being well taken care of. We came back home to happy pets!”
“This was our first time using Rover and we were definitely a bit nervous about it. It is difficult in this day and age to trust someone to stay in your home and care for your pets. We were away for a two week vacation and were in need of someone to watch our dogs during the week and stay overnight in our home. Lori came through for us in doing just that. We met her first for a meet and greet. After several messages back and forth, she reassured me that our dogs would be well cared for and they were. She is a true animal lover. Our dogs were safe in their home thanks to Lori and did not have to be stressed out in a kennel that was unfamiliar to them. I would highly recommend Lori for taking care of your pets.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Red Oaks Mill
Mateo was absolutely amazing!! Super communicative, he sent lots of pictures and updates. He went above and beyond what was asked of him. He watched my 80lb pit bull and my friend’s 60lb beagle together. We suggested that he walk my dog and just let the other roam in the backyard for a while, per their routines, cause they may be a lot to walk together. Well he walked them both together all 3 days anyway and got them to behave! And that’s huge, my pit can be very reactive toward certain dogs and big trucks, and the beagle likes to do whatever he wants and ignore toh lol. We would definitely book with him again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Red Oaks Mill
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Red Oaks Mill on Rover is $64.2 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 952 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Red Oaks Mill. 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 Red Oaks Mill 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 Oaks Mill 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 Red Oaks Mill 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 Red Oaks Mill. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
