“Tristen is hands-down the best pet sitter we’ve ever had. It is incredibly hard to find someone you trust completely with your animals, but Tristen makes it easy. They are super dependable, detail-oriented, and excellent at keeping us updated while we’re away. It is such a relief to travel knowing the crew isn't just being taken care of, but truly loved. Our pets absolutely adore Tristen, and we’ll definitely be keeping them on speed dial. If you want someone responsible and genuinely sweet, look no further.”
“Xena was great with my dog, Penny! She took great pictures and sent updates throughout the day. She communicated well and I could tell my dog was well taken care of. Thanks, Xena! 😊”
“Sebastian was a fabulous dog/house sitter. He took care of my two 80-pound golden retrievers for a week while I was away. They can be a lot, and he handled them beautifully. I have had a lot of different sitters and he checked all my boxes: He arrived when he said he would; he stayed at the house and never left them for too long; he reached out when he had a question about their water bowl system; most importantly, the dogs were happy and healthy when I got back and the house was perfect. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again.”
“100% will book again and highly recommend Steven! Steven watched over my 16 year old cat with few health issues that required extra attention. On top of that, we recently lost another cat (her companion for 15 years) and she has been lonely and high stress. We were having second thoughts about leaving on vacation. Steven did an incredible job communicating during the entire trip. He provided daily summary of how she was doing, her appetite, her energy, meds etc. He honestly made our vacation 100% more relaxing and worry free. When we came back our cat was very chill and relaxed, a great sign that she had great company and that she loved Steven. I plan to become a repeat customer and 100% recommend him. Your pet will certainly be in great hands with Steven”
“Monica was absolutely wonderful with Luna! She kept us updated throughout with photos and check-ins, so we never had to worry. We’ll definitely be booking with Monica again.”
“Veronica did a beautiful job keeping our high maintenance dog happy and safe and me at ease while away from him for 4 days. She is so thorough and professional .”
“I'm so glad that Majdoline was able to watch my dog and house-sit over the weekend. She was very quick to respond to any messages and gave several updates throughout the day with a ton of pictures, I never had to worry about a thing. She spent lots of time both giving my dog attention and letting her run around and play in the yard. She left everything in the house very neat and clean as well. I would absolutely ask her to pet-sit for me again!”
“Madeline was absolutely phenomenal; super communicative, sent me updates of how things were going, and friendly. Most importantly, my dog was well taken care of and had a great time. Madeline truly went above and beyond in every way possible.”
“Jennifer was so amazing. She was great with our elderly, cranky, highly medicated dog. She gave us lots of updates and checked in with us whenever or dog inevitably acted a little odd. She also went above and beyond taking care of our house.”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets - fish, dogs, cats, and birds primarily - for around 10 years. Possibly more. Absolutely love being able to assist elderly pups as well I’m currently a college student who has a lot of free time at various times during the day. Happily available to stay over as needed I play with and relax with the pets during the day and take them on walks as needed. Depending on age or size of the dog I try to give them one longer walk each day.
“Fantastic communicator and excellent follow through. My pets both seemed to really love her. Lots of pictures and status updates. When one of my babies wasn’t feeling his best she regularly let me know the status and got him through it. Everything was excellently cared for. Will definitely book again :)”
“We are so fortunate to have found Vitali! If you want to go on vacation and not have to worry about your pets plotting your demise, hire Vitali B! Great communication and our kitties were so relaxed upon our return that they barely noticed us when we walked in to the house. Meow.....”
“Nichole was absolutely incredible taking care of our fur babies. She went above and beyond - offering to restock food and groceries, doing laundry, etc. in our home while we were away. In regard to the pups, I got numerous videos and photos every day of them playing, snuggling, and enjoying their time. She made sure they were active, comfortable, safe and loved. We will 100% be using Nichole again. I would recommend her for anyone looking for a house/dog sitter.”
“I cannot recommend Jessica highly enough! She did an amazing job taking care of my lab, Daisy. Throughout the house sitting, she kept me updated and sent adorable photos, which gave me great peace of mind. Jessica went above and beyond with Daisy, ensuring she was happy and well-cared for. It was clear that Daisy loved spending time with her. I will definitely continue booking her without hesitation!”
“Olivia was very accommodating and both of our dogs instantly warmed up to her. When we got home the following day, both dogs were normal and didn't seem stressed about having someone new in the house. Olivia followed all of their care instructions which makes us confident in asking her to sit again in the future.”
About: I’ve had dogs for most of my life and have extensive experience caring for them. I regularly walk, feed, and care for my own rescue dog, giving me hands-on experience with daily routines and different behavioral needs. I’ve also helped neighbors and family members care for their dogs, including walking, feeding, and providing companionship while they were away.

I’m a reliable, fast learner who is committed to providing attentive, compassionate care so your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I have a very flexible schedule, so I'm able to care for your pups anytime, morning, evening, or night. I am able to spend as much time with your dog as you desire. I will exercise, feed, entertain, and love your dog daily. I will never walk your dog off leash and will follow any instructions you give me.

Brittany was great! She house sat for us and took great care of our dogs for a week while we were on vacation. She followed all our directions, made sure our 2 dogs were well cared for and happy during our trip, and kept us well updated. Brittany can be relied upon to care for your pets for extended periods of time and we will definitely be using Brittany again in the future. Thank you Brittany!
Angela took great care of my dogs at the last minute and kept me updated the whole time with messages and photos. She was reliable, easy to communicate with, and made me feel completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands. I’d definitely book with her again!
Dobby is generally anxious about meeting new people but he warmed up to Ixchel quickly. She managed his quirks and challenges well and without complaint. We returned home to a happy and healthy dog and a clean apartment. We would definitely book with Ixchel again!
Ben took great care of our dog, Banjo, while we were away on a long trip (almost 2 weeks). Coming home, the biggest relief was seeing Banjo happy, healthy, and in great spirits. It was clear he’d been well cared for. Ben made sure he was fed, walked, and had plenty of playtime and attention. He also took great care of our home by bringing in the mail and keeping an eye on everything while we were gone. We will definitely be using Ben again in the future. Highly recommend!
Oh my goodness—thank you for becoming our favorite sitter! We came home to a house that was exactly as we left it, and, most importantly, two dogs who were clearly loved and exceptionally well cared for while we were away. They were so calm, happy, and content when we got home, with no signs of stress or anxiety at all. That kind of peace of mind is priceless, and it’s a true testament to the care and attention you gave them. Thank you so much for loving on our house hippos as if they were your own. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and are so grateful to have found you!
Marina was incredible! Our regular sitter wasn't available and we managed to catch her on some available days. Not only did she handle our very high energy dog very well, but she even washed and replaced the bedding she used - definitely goes above and beyond!
Neika was an amazing sitter for my dog, Morty! He has a lot of energy and isn't always the easiest dog to handle, but she did an incredible job with him. Since he's recovering from surgery, I was especially anxious about leaving him, but Neika kept me updated with messages and pictures that gave me so much peace of mind. She even went above and beyond by cleaning his surgical wound, which I truly appreciated. It's clear that she genuinely cares about the pets she watches and treats them like her own. I couldn't have asked for a better experience, and I highly recommend Neika to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive sitter!

FAQs for House Sitting - White Oak
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in White Oak on Rover is $38.85 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 11,372 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across White Oak. 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 White 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 White 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.
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 White 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 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.
