“Sophia is the best! We had to leave our service dog (yes, there were many reasons for this) and he was just as happy when we returned as we left. You could tell he was well taken care of and enjoyed lots of treats. He’s not talking about how many but that’s ok. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Haley was absolutely amazing with Kenny and Poopy! We couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of them. She kept us updated, gave them plenty of attention and love, and most importantly, gave us complete peace of mind knowing they were in great hands while we were away. It’s obvious Haley genuinely loves animals and treats them like they’re her own. Kenny and Poopy were happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. Having someone you can truly trust with your dogs means everything, and Haley has definitely earned that trust with us. We will absolutely be using her again. If you’re looking for someone dependable, caring, and wonderful with your pets, Haley is the one. Five stars doesn’t feel like enough! 🐾❤️”
“Simone took such good care of Ollie while we were away! She’s so sweet and kind, and Ollie loved her. She sent several photos and a video, which we loved! We will definitely rebook!”
“Cait and Kirk stayed in our home for two weeks with our cat and dog. We feel so lucky to have found them - They took such great care of our animals and our home! Cait sent photo updates and provided little snippets about what the animals had been up to throughout the week. We were so worried about leaving the animals for two whole weeks (specially during the holidays) and Cait/Kirk exceeded our expectations! They spent time playing with them, giving them extra attention, and assuring they felt safe/comfortable with their individual personalities. We would highly recommend booking them and trusting them with your pets! Addie and Kora miss them already.”
“Aubree was SO great with our doggies, Teddy and Millie! We made a last minute decision not to travel with our dogs and she was willing to come do a meet and greet and accepted the job very last minute, thankfully! She stayed at our home and made our sudden trip away for a family funeral much less stressful because we knew our dogs were in good hands. We have an older dog and a middle aged dog with potty issues, especially when routines change at home. Aubree was patient and willing to clean up after them and I’m so grateful for that extra work and effort. She also sent us pupdates while we were away and pictures! Her communication is always positive and reassuring, making it such a pleasure to know her and work with her! We’re already working on scheduling with her for another trip coming up!”
About: I know how much you love your pet and how hard it is to leave him/her with someone you trust. I’m the same way. I decided to join Rover when I had to leave my pup, and my family wasn't available to care for her. I found someone who ended up being a lifesaver, and I wanted to help in the same way. I have cared for dogs from puppies to older pups, and love each stage. I can also help with any special needs your furbaby might have. I have watched family, friends, & neighbors' pups for ages and volunteered at the Roger's Humane Society for years. Hi! My name is Rebecca. Two things about me make me a great pet sitter: 1) I love pets & 2) I'm home all day. I want your pet to feel right at home. I am fortunate to work from home and create my own schedule, which allows me to adhere to your routine – whether that's set mealtimes or going for walks at a certain time each day – as well as plenty of time for lots of love and cuddles. I have a large home with a huge fenced-in yard and a Golden who loves to play. She's one of the reasons I joined. She's happiest when she has fur friends over and has never met a pup she doesn't like. Our home has a doggy door that leads into our large fenced-in yard, allowing your pup to go to the bathroom, go out and play, lie outside, and even sunbathe on the deck. It's completely up to them, and they can enjoy being outside whenever they want. I am happy to text and/or email with you as much as you would like, with lots of photos & videos – giving you peace of mind knowing your furbaby is not only safe, but they're having just as wonderful a time as you are.
“Beth was fantastic! She took such good care of our Skyy, who is a senior dog with some health issues. She stayed in our home and gave Skyy all the love and attention she needed - maybe even more. It was great having someone with such a love of animals and who is very trustworthy keep watch over our home and our little girl. I can’t say enough good things about Beth. We’ll be using her again, for sure.”
About: I’ve loved animals and cared for pets since I was young (growing up with Labrador retrievers and miniature dachshunds). As a proud dog mom to Henry, my long-haired miniature dachshund, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I’m experienced with daily routines, feeding, playtime, walks, and providing lots of love and attention. As a volleyball coach, I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to individual needs. Whether your pet needs an overnight companion, a midday check-in, or extra cuddles while you’re away, I’ll treat them like family and keep you updated so you can feel confident they’re in great hands. I know first hand just how important those daily check-ins and photos can be when you’re away from your furry family members. I’m currently working full time from 8:30 am to 4 pm M-F. I have an hour lunch break that I usually leave my office during. I have very little schedule interruptions throughout the week, but will always communicate conflicts in advance. I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex with a dog park and paved sidewalks within a fenced community. I enjoy taking walks in my spare time and am an ex-collegiate athlete which can help to manage larger dogs and keep both parties safe.
“Leah did an amazing job watching my two dogs. She took great care of my home, keeping everything neat and tidy, and genuinely cared for my pups as if they were her own. She was very responsive, communicated clearly, and kept me updated if anything was needed. I felt completely at ease knowing my dogs were in such great hands. Highly recommend!”
“She took care of my boys (one geriatric and one that’s basically a teenager) and did a great job with both! She even cleaned and mopped when my older man had accidents and went out of her way to buy and give them treats. :)”
About: Been an animal lover all my life. Unfortunately I've developed an allergy to cats but most dogs I do well with. I've worked in grooming and an animal hospital in the past. My daughter and I love sitting fur babies for our friends and family. My schedule is pretty open as I work part-time time and remote. If we could we'd have a house full of animals, which is why I'm eager to get to know and spend time with yours. A mini vaca away, with lots of love, from our family to yours. I'm mostly open, work part time. Would prefer boarding with me over house sitting, depending on the breed. But which ever you fancy. If you have a breed my allergies don't tolerate very well, house sitting would be the best option. But I also have other hosting options like two separate garages, one that is dedicated to the dogs. With fans and heaters depending on the season as well as a big fenced in backyard. We can discuss schedule/routine that works best for you and your fur baby, to meet their needs. I'm responsive and operate with complete transparency if any issues arise to foster a safe and trusting atmosphere for a positive experience. Assuring you peace of mind and to build a good shared experience for everyone evolved. We have a spacious home with large fenced in yard and two dogs of our own (who are treated and up to date with all their veterinary visits), to play and keep your fur baby company. One of mine in particular is very accustomed to socializing with others from doggie daycare, as he used to go as a pup. I can also easily keep our dogs separate upon request, and crate any fur baby if needed. A bit OCD so I keep a neat, clean, tidy home so you can be assured a clean and safe environment for your pets stay. We have two separate garages, one dedicated to the dogs. As well as doggie Gates for large or small dogs. So there are multiple options to suit a variety of situations.
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I bring to every dog. With 11 years of experience caring for my family's dog, I understand the importance of trust, consistency, and personalized care. I treat every pet as if they were my own—ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for at all times I'm available all day everyday Monday- Friday! Anytime of the day! I currently have a part time job that takes up a few hours once or twice a week! I have a fully fenced in yard as well as a very sweet and gentle 11 year old dog at my family's house! I can easily crate your dog as well. I'm well at maintaining routines and providing a safe, structured, and stress free environment.
About: Hello. I’m Becca. Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I’ve picked up a natural sense for what makes them happy and comfortable. My friendly pup helps me welcome every dog like they’re part of the pack. I just genuinely love animals, and I make sure every pet gets plenty of fun, attention, and affection. I’m very picky on who I choose to watch my dog because him being very high anxiety and needy.So I understand a dog or cat parent wanting to the best care and I can provide that. I currently work an 8–3 corporate job and have weekends and holidays off, so my schedule is pretty flexible. In my spare time, I really want to do something meaningful that helps others and what better way than supporting fellow dog and cat parents when they need an extra hand? Caring for animals brings me so much joy, and I love being able to make life a little easier for both pets and their people. I would like to keep the animals in an environment they are comfortable in if possible I know how my two dogs are when they’re not home. They’re very high anxiety and so I’m fine with dog sitting or dropping in where they are home and in their own comfort zone.
About: I am a responsible care taker and have enjoyed taking care of many pets, most especially dogs. Big or small. Lazy or hyper... I love animals! My name is Sharon. I am a mom and grandma. I currently work remotely from home as my primary employment. I enjoy reading literature and walking in the park. If you need someone loving and responsible to care for your pet, it could be me! I work remotely from home (on my pc) during certain scheduled hours through out the week for my primary job. Since my work is flexible it leaves plenty of time for quality pet care. I plan to drive to my client's home and take care of their pets as per their wishes. I also have a fenced in yard and a sidewalk where I live so pet sitting at my home is also an option.
About: I love spending time with dogs. I’ve taken care of family members pets and they say I do a great job. My dog, Daisy, says I’m a good friend to any puppies. I’m currently unemployed but I do DoorDash on the side. I want to make more money to save. I always make sure my dog is happy, watered, and take her outside for potty breaks. I’ll make sure that your dogs are happy, well fed, have plenty of water, take them outside for lots of potty breaks, and entertained with their favorite toys and treats.
“Thanks for your exceptional care of our animals while we’re gone on long trip. Jackie did a great job while we were away even helped with our teenager, getting her to orientation at school before we were able to get back. The Dogs said that Jackie was fun to play with and hang out with while watching TV.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals for family members and neighbors throughout my life. This includes over night sitting and stopping by to walk, feed, or any other needs the owner has. I’m currently working part time, so I will have plenty of time for your pets! I am available to watch, let out, and walk your pets from 9:00 AM- 12:30 PM, and again from 6:00 PM through the evening. I am also available for over night sitting if needed! I do not work weekends, so I am available all day Saturday and Sunday! I have a fenced in yard and clean home, along with my cat. I can crate dogs if needed. Your pets will be completely safe with me!
About: I've grown up surrounded by animals of all kinds! Not only do I have years of personal experience caring for animals, but I have seven years of professional experience caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes!

The average cost of House Sitting in Oak Grove is $31 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $50 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 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

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.
