“This was the first time I left Skye who is deaf with someone I didn’t know from Anita‘s reviews, I felt very confident that she would take care of her. Anita sent pictures which I was really super happy to see. When I got home Skye was very happy to see me and felt great that she really took a liking too Anita.. I would definitely recommend and call Anita when I need someone to take care of Skye.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a kid with our family dogs. My love for dogs carried into my adulthood and I have experience with puppies all the way to senior dogs. We have a huge fenced in yard for your pup to run around and get that energy out! I look forward to meeting you I have an extremely open and flexible schedule. I’m available Monday-Saturday all day. I’m in no rush to be anywhere else so that means your pet will have my full attention. I offer care at your home or my home. Your pets will feel comfortable at my home as we have extra crates, beds, toys, or they can sleep on the couch if they prefer
About: I have grown up around animals- I am often my parents’ pet sitter. I bond with animals (all types); which is why I have a biology degree. I have had a dog since I was three, and my mom currently has a senior dog that I sometimes take care of. She also has a dog with high anxiety that I take care of. I have a lot of friends with cats that ask me to housesit when they are away. Now- I have a lot more experience babysitting humans than pets for money, but I still know how to take care of the non-human babies too :) I am currently in graduate school, making sure the water nearby is safe! However, this eats up my time a lot. Since I am free on weekends, I can spend whole days with your pet; I can make sure they are active and well looked after! On weekdays, I can do the same for the evenings! However, during the day Mon-Fri, I will be extremely busy, so keep that in mind if you book me then :) Depending on what the pet needs, I am willing to take them out on walks, feed them, play with them, and give them lots of love! For senior pets, I can make sure they take medication and any other special service that they might need!

I am available any weekend and weekday that you would need me. They only times I wont be available is if I have a vacation planned. I have a two story house, its very clean and spacious. I also have a bug fenced in backyard with plen of space for your fur baby to play.
“If I could give Nikki more than 5 stars, I would! She took amazing care of Bubbles. Sent a lot of pictures and was easy to communicate with. Nikki went above and beyond taking care of Bubbles, which gave us peace of mind. Nikki is awesome!”
“This was the 1st time we used Rover for our 2 doggies and one cat. Jayla did an awesome job with all of them. The doggies loved her and she got the cat to come out during the day to see someone other than the family. We would highly recommend Jayla as a great person and sitter for your furry babies.”
“Robert was excellent at house sitting and taking care of our 2 dogs. He walked them, cleaned up after them and my house was clean and dogs were happy when I arrived home. Already have him booked for our next trip.”
About: I have over five years of hands-on experience caring for a variety of animals, including dogs and cats. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and individual needs, and I take pride in providing dependable, attentive, and compassionate care. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, exercise, playtime, companionship, and maintaining an animal’s regular routine while their owner is away. My experience with both household pets and larger farm animals has taught me to be patient, responsible, observant, and confident when caring for animals. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I’m currently a college student with a flexible schedule and am available for pet care Monday through Friday after 2 p.m. I can also provide morning and overnight care when house-sitting in the pet’s home, allowing me to be there for their morning routine, meals, walks, and companionship. I’m happy to follow each pet’s normal schedule and provide consistent, attentive care while their owner is away. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I have one dog and two cats of my own, and my five years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and other animals has taught me to be patient, responsible, and attentive to each animal’s individual needs. I offer house-sitting in the pet’s home, allowing them to stay in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I’m happy to follow specific care instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, medication, crate use, and playtime, while providing dependable and compassionate care.
About: With three dogs at home with my family, I have lots of experience caring for dogs with different personalities, needs, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, playtime, and providing plenty of attention and affection to your pup! I’ll treat every dog as if they were my own :) I’m home for the summer so I have lots of free time to spend with your pup! My schedule is very flexible based on your needs. When caring for your dog, I go the extra step to make sure you both feel comfortable. I am very reliable with updates, flexible when possible, and will accommodate to you and your pups needs!
About: My entire life I’ve grown up with animals all over the house. My parents always had at least 6 pets that I would help love and care for. When I moved out, I took my little kitty with me and left behind 7 more pets. I’ve pet-sit for friends and neighbors, and I’ve walked dogs until they were finally ready to go home. I love all animals and will treat your pets with the same love and care as my own. I’m currently going to be working short night shifts so I will have plenty of time to walk and care for your pets. My mornings are free for early walks and I have no problem stopping by late if needed! I have a 2 bedroom which is lots of space for my 6 pound kitten to play around. I spoil her with toys and play with her all day. I have a little backyard which she’s too scared to use but it would be perfect for other animals to play. I also have a very walkable neighborhood with lots of friendly animals that go on walks as well!
About: Animal lover and dependable pet sitter who treats every pet like family. Experienced with animals of all sizes and personalities, focused on safe, loving care, walks, playtime, and keeping pet parents updated every step of the way.

I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions.
“I had a couple of good sitters but Faith beats them all! She goes all way and beyond. I was traveling for 2 weeks overseas and asked Faith to dog/cat sit for me during this time. Faith followed my guidelines beautifully, took excellent care of my animals and sent me pictures every day, several times a day and she responded to my messages even in the middle of the night. My dog needed urgent medical attention and she was on top of it. Took him to the vet hospital, paid the bill (naturally i paid her back the next day or so) and medicated, healed my precious dog. The house was pristine when i came back home and i heard from my neighbors too how dedicated she was with my animals. I absolutely recommend her. She is the best!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - White Oak
Haley was amazing with Frankie. Haley was prompt in her arrival and communicated before during and after our visit to help us feel comfortable with her as our new dog sitter. Frankie absolutely loves her and ignored us when she arrived. He settled in right next to her on the sofa and they were fast Friends for a few hours.

The average cost of House Sitting in White Oak is $30 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $37 per night.

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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
