About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits, farms animals. Loving and caring for animals is my passion. They can be just a sprout all the way to a retired old baby and I will be happy to care for them. If in home stays are required I will have to bring my son with me he is 2 months old currently. My husband may come as well. We will completely respect your home. I’m currently working full time but plan on switch careers and would love to give this a try and see where it takes me in life. In my home, my dog, Buddy, is spoiled rotten. Lots of loves, plenty of cuddles. He is allowed on furniture. He doesn’t have a fenced in yard but he know his boundaries. In your home, I am more than willing to go by your rules.

Hannah was great and took excellent care of our babies while we were gone. She was very respectful of our home and sent pictures several times thruout the day to let us know what the pups were up too. She vacuumed because our fur babies shed a lot and ran the dishwasher. We will be using Hannah again for any trips we take short or long!

Tara was amazing! She sent daily updates at the end of the day (per our request) with pictures, walking route, and activities they did throughout the day. She spent lots of time loving on and playing with our dog, and she went above and beyond taking her to the park and through downtown during the day. She was a wonderful house guest, and we think our house may be cleaner now than when we left. We would love to have her keep our dog again no question!

About: Hi! I’ve been pet sitting for over 10 years and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. From energetic puppies to senior pets, I always make sure every animal feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m extremely reliable, communicative, and treat every pet like my own. I also have plenty of references from happy pet owners who trust me with their furry family members. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or extra patience and care, I’d love to help! I am currently in graduate school pursuing my doctorate in Occupational Therapy. I’ve been pet sitting for over 10 years and have experience caring for animals of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, patient, and dependable to care for your pets while you’re away. I’m very reliable, communicative, and treat every animal like my own. I’m also available for overnight stays to help keep your pets comfortable and maintain their normal routine. I have plenty of references from happy pet owners and would love the opportunity to care for your pets! When caring for pets in clients’ homes, I prioritize safety, routine, and respect for both the animals and the home environment. I follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication needs, walking routines, and any behavioral considerations. I make sure doors, gates, and crates are always secured to prevent escapes, and I supervise pets carefully during all interactions and outdoor time. I’m attentive to each animal’s comfort level and body language so I can respond appropriately and reduce stress, especially in new or unfamiliar situations. I also keep the home clean and organized, cleaning up after pets, refreshing water bowls, and ensuring the space is left just as I found it. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates and am quick to respond if anything comes up.

About: Personalized Attention: I'll tailor my care to meet your pet’s unique needs and preferences. Peace of Mind: Regular updates and open communication keep you informed and reassured. Loving Care: Your pet will feel loved and cared for in your absence, reducing their stress and anxiety. I am currently working 7-5 in Wetumpka Alabama with a lunch break at 12. Pet can is available before, after, and during my lunch hour (if you are within Wetumpka city limits) Caring for a pet does vary from fur baby, to fur baby. I will learn how they want to interact with me, and gain their trust so they feel just as loved.

I would book Kamryn to watch Diggs a thousand times over! She took extra time and care to make sure he was comfortable with her (he’s scan be pretty anxious with new people). She updated me several times a day about potties and feedings and took her time to hang out and play with him. I felt so comfortable leaving Diggs in her care!! I cannot thank her enough for the extra steps and reassurance she provided me that he was in the best care while I way away!!

Kari and Alex did such a great job taking care of our puppy and cat while we were away for over a week. They communicated regularly and sent us pictures and videos several times a day so we always knew our pets were taken care of and having a good time. They even cleaned up after a leak that occurred while we were on our way home and checked in with our neighboring condos about it. It was a relief not to have to worry about the pets while on vacation because we knew they were in capable hands. Highly recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Oak Grove

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 236 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Oak Grove. 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 Oak Grove 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 Oak Grove 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 Oak Grove 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 Oak Grove. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% 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.
