“Sara is wonderful! Easy to communicate with, sent me plenty of pictures that showed not only that my baby was doing well, but that she was being her normal self and doing her normal routines. If your pet is your family you can trust Sara will treat them that way!”
About: Dogs are my favorite. I know how to administer medication and calm them down if they are stressed Sr babies are also welcome. Love all I am a stay at home mom currently in school at home. This is a great way for me to take care of babies and earn money doing something I love. I have two fenced in areas. Babies are always watched while we’re outside at play and during potty time. They are never left alone or out of my sight.
About: I have been taking care of animals either on my own or with my siblings for as long as I can remember. I sit for one family very frequently. They rely on me to administer medicine, walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I love them like they’re my own. I am a hairstylist and I work 4-5 days a week but my hours are extremely flexible. My work is located in a very central area so I’d be able to let them out during the day as well. At the clients home I will do any task that is needed to keep the dogs happy and healthy. I would prefer watching the animals at the clients home only because I live in an apartment, but if for some reason I need to bring them to my hosue I have a super friendly cat that gets along great with all animals.
“Jessica did a wonderful job with our pups! She kept us updated and informed. Not to mention she spoiled our bully rotten.I would highly recommend her if you want your pets cared for to help you have a stress free time away from home.”
About: I am a certified dog groomer and have owned animals my whole life. Caring for animals and loving them is a passion of mine and is what I’ve always wanted to do. If I am not grooming at my job I am free most afternoons and nights I can also be available sometimes during the mornings. I am currently looking for more clients and work so caring for your animals would help a lot. I am very much a dog person. I have always had a baby since I was a little girl. Every animal deserves to be cared for.

However long or frequent a client may need me to be, as I’ll always be there in demand. I’ve always had a knack of caring for others and being there when needed. I have experience in Assisted Living & Memory Care. Patient and Compassionate are the two words that describe me best. I will work around your schedule because I know how important our babies mean to us. I have experience in caring for special needs animals, for example, my baby Winston who is now 4 years old has had eye removal surgery and I have cared for him throughout and after surgery. At the moment; this is my Full-time job, so that gives me flexibility to work around your schedule and your needs. I’m available to do light housework to make sure your home stays nice and cozy while you’re away. I have experience with elderly animals and animals with injuries. I personally will give you daily updates and pictures on how your baby is doing. I’m looking forward to taking care of your little love! Right now, this is my full-time job, so I’m available when you need me. No need to look any further. I’ll be there when you need me. I offer dog walking, companionship, and care.Whether it’s watching your baby’s favorite TV show or playing with their favorite toys… I’ll make sure their day is full of love and care. ❤️
“Briana picked up my last minute job and she was a livesaver! She did a fantastic job, communicated well and my animals liked her. It's such a relief to have a responsible pet sitter that I know I can trust! I would definitely love to hire her again and will highly recommend her.”
About: Hi! I’m Jaclyn, (please message for most accurate prices and discounts) and I have a flexible schedule with plenty of time to care for your pets while you’re away. I’m comfortable with dogs, cats, reptiles, and other pets with clear care instructions. I’m happy to work with shy, anxious, energetic, or special-needs pets and will always discuss any behavioral concerns before boarding. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and keep you updated while they’re in my care. Please message me with any questions or special requests. I’d love to meet you and your pets! 🐾 I work three days a week, so I have plenty of time to take care of all the fur babies. Especially Thursday through Sunday each week. I have a small fenced in yard for quick outside time, but a quiet side street for walks! They would be able to get plenty of excerise as long as they are ok on a leash.
About: I’ve always been around animals and naturally treat pets like family. I’m patient, attentive, and good at reading animal behavior, especially with nervous, energetic, or stubborn pets lol. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I try to keep them comfortable, safe, and stress-free while their owners are away. I’m dependable with feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, cleanup, and giving pets attention instead of just “checking in and leaving.” I also know how important communication is, so I make sure owners stay updated with messages and pictures. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m used to being active throughout the day and handling responsibilities that require consistency and attention. I can work around feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, medication reminders, and playtime. I understand pets need stability and patience, especially when their owners are away, so I make sure they get attention, exercise, and care instead of just being left alone. I also try to stay flexible for last-minute needs when possible. Cats have their own quiet, separate space where they can feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed without needing to interact with dogs unless they’re comfortable doing so. I understand cats usually do best with calm environments, patience, and giving them space to adjust at their own pace. 🐱
“Amanda was great with all 3 of our large breed dogs! She provided frequent updates and our dogs seemed to really feel comfortable with her. We highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”
About: **Update I was doing this at my house in Vegas so pics are all of that, but just moved here to Atlanta, I have a large fenced backyard and big cozy house to help make your pets feel at home** I grew up with many dogs and cats at home. Love all animals. Very good with them. I have no current animals of my own, but would love to be friends with yours. Im home most all day except for about an hour or two each day so have lots of space and time for some animal buddies to hang out with. I have a fenced front and a fenced back yard, and a kennel if needed, also have a couple spare bedrooms so if any animals need seperating i can do that also, but I try to let everyone wander as long as they all get along. Have no pets currently, but love all animals. Also great with house sitting, I fix houses for a living, so great at taking care of them too, could even fix an item or two if you were needing something small done while I tend your animals and house.
About: Very particular about who takes care of your pup, huh? Look no further! Whether it’s a million photos a day, a raw food diet, poop reports, or scheduled tummy rubs, I’m here to fulfill both you and your pet’s needs, down to the very detail. As a dog mom myself, I know how stressful it can be to leave your dog with someone who isn’t as obsessed with them as you are. But with me, your pup will be safe, sound, and spoiled, while you remain at ease. 🙂 I work from home full time, and have an extremely flexible schedule, so I’m available throughout the week to meet you and your pet’s needs, including on weekends! When your pet is in my care, you can anticipate: • Potty breaks every 2-3 hours. • 2-3 walks for fresh air and stick hunting. • Play time! • Cuddles and tummy rubs! • Snack time (can be structured around training) • Car rides + Visits to parks and nature trails.
About: Growing up we always had a ton of animals inside and outside the house. My family has always used me as the resident pet sitter because they know I love all the fur babies. I have taken care of cats and dogs for basically my entire life. I have been taking care of other peoples pets for the past three years. I also previously worked at a boarding/daycare facility. I strive to treat your pets as my own. I have experience in dealing with sick animals and recognizing when symptoms have worsened. I am here to provide your animal with a safe and loving environment. I want you to be able to feel comfortable leaving your babies with me! I am a full time student with a bit of a weird schedule! Most weekends are free! Your dogs will have to be left alone during the week but never for more than 5-6 hours! I will always be cautious when meeting a new animal as to not frighten them. I will feed them the appropriate amount and correct food. I will give them any medication they may need. I will be gentle with any senior pet.
“James did a great job taking care of my two cats while I was on vacation. He sent me pics and videos every day so I could see how my boys were doing. The house was spotless and so was the litter box. Highly recommend! And I would definitely re-hire.”
“Another fantastic sitting experience with Kasianay. She is amazing with my dog and the house is also always is excellent shape. I also really appreciate all her communication.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Oak Grove is $49 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $65 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 460 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 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.
