“Lucas was great with my challenging dog and shy cat. He took great care of them both and my home. I appreciate the time he took in our initial meet and greet, taking time to try a short walk. I'm thrilled to have someone who can manage getting my pup out for a walk now. He kept me updated daily with photos, and handled feeding and meds without issue. I'll definitely be rebooking!”

“Tiffany was great! She was prompt and professional and took great care of Maggie. She took her for walks and outside to play while we were away. She also has good dog management skills which were obvious when she came to meet Maggie and get instructions. She immediately calmed her down and brought her energy under control. Our house was neat and everything was in its place. We will definitely book her next time we are out of town!”

She was not hesitant to ask any questions which gave me peace of mind that she wanted to give the best care she could to Murphy. She was accommodating to changes and responded fast. I am so appreciative Murphy received such good care while I was gone. Thank you Juliann!”

About: I have been around and taken care of dogs since I was 5-6 years old. I have always loved pets and felt the responsibility that comes with owning them. Their world is fully influenced by us and how well we take care of them. I have experience in walking dogs, keeping them on a routine, and I have taken care of sick and senior dogs. I’m working a part time job right now, but have a decent amount of time on my hands to take care of your pets. I will primarily be working in the mornings but have a flexible schedule. Each pet has their own routine which is very important to me. I like to ensure they are consistently getting enough attention, adequate bathroom breaks, being fed on time, and ensuring they are active whether that’s by walking them or playing with them indoors/outdoors.

Dogs adored her and were at ease during the first meet and weren't stressed when I got home. Will book again and recommend!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I am caring, patient, and responsible. I have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I enjoy spending time with animals, playing with them, taking them on walks, and making sure they have everything they need. I am happy to follow each pet’s routine, provide extra attention, and give updates to pet parents while they are away. I am also willing to work with puppies who are learning routines and basic training, as well as provide gentle, patient care for senior pets. My goal is to treat every pet like family and make sure they feel loved and cared for while their owners are away. As a college student, I have a structured weekly routine that allows me to balance school, work, and my personal responsibilities. I can plan pet care around my schedule and make time to give pets the attention, exercise, and love they need. I am responsible, dependable, and willing to communicate with pet owners to make sure their pets are well cared for while they are away. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own home\. I follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and any other special needs\. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while keeping their space clean and safe\. I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine, so I am patient and take the time to help them feel comfortable with me\. I also keep owners updated so they can feel confident that their pets are in good hands.

About: I have had many dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds growing up. I love all animals but dogs have a special place in my heart. I love to match their energy and give the best care for them as possible. I am a full time Registered behavior Technician but want to be able to have my nights and weekends dedicated to providing services for dedicated pet owners like myself. I have a high, fenced backyard. I live in a safe neighborhood surrounded by friendly people. Every door and window is constantly locked for pet and human protection. In my clients home I will be sure to keep the same safety measures as I do my own.

About: I have had animals of my own since I can remember. I worked at a shelter (mainly bigger breeds - but all were welcomed) for 3 years. I love working with and helping all animals. I currently only do online schooling so any and all free time I have, I would love to spend it with your beautiful fur babies! I can train your pup as needed and make sure they receive the best possible care. I can also do any bathing that should need done. For the kitties, I will provide any care they may need, to include cleaning out litter boxes, washing food/water containers, feeding, playing with them and nail clipping if needed!

“I cannot recommend Steven enough. I needed someone to watch my three dogs over the Christmas holidays while I traveled for urgent family needs. I was honestly very worried about leaving them behind during such a chaotic time, but Steven made the entire process incredibly easy. ​From our very first conversation to the moment I got back, his communication was top-notch. He stayed at my home and kept me in the loop with daily updates, which allowed me to focus on my family without stress. He even brought in packages that arrived while I was away. If you need a trustworthy, communicative sitter who will treat your home and pets with respect, hire Steven!”

About: I have been a pet owner since the age of 10 and I currently work at an animal hospital. I love all types of animals and have worked with all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I am open to discussing any scheduling needs and working my schedule around your needs. The animals are my top priority and will always come first. I treat other people's homes as if they are my own in terms of respect and cleanliness. I will care for your pets and watch over them as if they were my own children. I also have no problem looking after houseplants and staying on top of bringing in mail and package deliveries.

I had a wonderful experience Heidi. She's reliable, kind, and clearly love what they do. Communication was excellent from start to finish—I received regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dog was happy, well cared for, and comfortable the entire time. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy and loving care. I will definitely be booking again!

FAQs for House Sitting - White Oak

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 1,478 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 , 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in White Oak. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
