“Jessica was extremely attentive and the dogs loved her. She spent her weekend at our house letting the dogs go out as they please. She responded quickly to messages and sent pictures. I would definitely rebook with Jessica.”
About: I have 2 dogs myself but I also take care of my friends and families animals alot too. both dogs and cats usually but I always enjoy it. im currently working part time though the week and want to do something i love for a bit of extra experience as well as money. I have a fenced in yard and two beagles that get along great with other dogs but one of them not so much big dogs but I will happily take care of your dog in your home!
“Denise was excellent taking care of my dog, Kent. She went above and beyond for me to ensure peace of mind while I was away. Her communication on how my dog is doing was great. Kent was excited to see her every time she came. Definitely be repeating business with Denise.”
“Had a wonderful experience with Aaron! He stayed at my house and took amazing care of my three dogs while I was away. He kept me updated with messages and photos. When I came home, my dogs were happy, well cared for, and my house was just as clean as I left it. I wouldn't hesitate to book him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter!”
“Chelsea was AMAZING with our babies!!! She was attentive, communicative, and reliable! We felt confident knowing our dogs were in good hands and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter. We would definitely book with her again!”
“Aidan was absolutely wonderful and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. He was incredibly attentive, followed all of our instructions to a T, communicated consistently, and sent great updates throughout our trip. He even went above and beyond by helping with cleaning and light housekeeping while we were gone. Most importantly, our dogs absolutely loved him and clearly felt safe and comfortable with him. They normally don’t eat well when we’re away, but they had no problem eating while Aidan was here, which says a lot about how comfortable he made them feel. We typically find ourselves checking in on our cameras occasionally when we travel, but with Aidan, we felt so comfortable and confident that our dogs were in good hands that we genuinely didn’t feel the need to. We were able to fully enjoy our time away knowing they were being cared for and loved. We would absolutely book Aidan again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets and home.”
“Alicia and her children did an amazing job with Chloe. The communication was prompt and consistent. I received many pictures while we were gone. It was the longest we’ve been away from our pup. She even stayed to comfort her during some fireworks while Chloe was very anxious. My plants were well cared for, too! My home was as we left it and Chloe was happy and healthy when we returned. I would absolutely use them again and recommend them to anyone.”
About: I have had pets all my lifetime but recently my son relocated with his dog to Indiana so I am able to provide passionate care with plenty of room inside and large fenced outside yard to care for your pets while enjoying the values of pet sitting. You can count on me to treat your pet like family in a safe and loving, environment in my home while you are away! Or I am able to provide convenient trustworthy carefree reliable pet sitting services in your home at anytime so your pet has the comforts of home while their family is away. My professionalism working at the VA in the outpatient mental health clinic with service dogs gave me insight on how much an animals being in ones life can make an extraordinary difference in a persons quality of life!
About: I have always been the person my family and friends go to when it comes to pet sitting. Im responsible and follow instructions to a T. I enjoy meeting new animals (especially cats, cat naps are the best) and giving you peace of mind while you are on vacation. I have sat with chihuahuas, yorkies, shitzus, beagles, huskies, Rottweilers, Dobermans, German shepherds and Chows for my family and friends. I don’t discriminate 🥰 I work a full time job in nashville 5 days a week. My shifts are 7-8 hours long. I prefer to house/pet sit because it keeps me from driving all over and allows more time taking care of your pet and less stress on myself. When I house/pet sit I ask for a schedule and normal daily activities. Every pet has a different routine. I follow the routine given to ease the stress on your dog/cat
About: I have loved dogs for as long as I can remember, and my passion for canine care began at age 14 when I first learned the fundamentals of training and responsible pet ownership. Since then, I have personally raised two dogs from nine-week-old puppies into adulthood, giving me hands-on experience with developmental needs, safety, and attentive daily care. Animals naturally sense my calm demeanor and feel comfortable around me, allowing me to build instant trust and keep them at ease. In addition to raising my own companions, I regularly help pet parents understand canine behavior and basic training through positive, clear communication that works seamlessly for both dogs and their owners. As a current student, my daily routine is structured to ensure your pets receive reliable, dedicated care without disruption. I have excellent availability early in the morning before classes, typically between 5:00 AM and 8:00 AM or 11:00 AM depending on the day. After classes wrap up, I am fully free for afternoon and evening visits starting after 12:00 PM on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and after 5:00 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays. As long as visits fall around these regular class windows, I can seamlessly accommodate walks, feedings, and drop-ins throughout the week. I also have zero issues providing overnight care and weekend coverage, giving your pets consistent attention, company, and love while keeping their routines completely on track. Because I am currently in school, I do not offer pet boarding in my own home. Instead, I specialize entirely in in-home pet sitting and drop-in visits, allowing your pets to stay comfortable, secure, and stress-free in their own familiar environment. When caring for your pets in your home, I treat your personal space with the highest level of respect, care, and cleanliness. My primary focus is making sure all of your pet’s essential needs are met meticulously, from precise feeding schedules and fresh water to maintaining clean living areas and administering medication if required. Beyond the basics, I pay close attention to each animal’s unique personality and follow any extra instructions to the letter, ensuring they receive plenty of exercise, playtime, and dedicated companionship.
“Emily was the best with our 7mo old Weimaraner, Dodger, while we took a week-long vacation. She was consistent, reliable, sent us pictures/updates and walked him daily. We would absolutely recommend Emily and plan to use her again in the future!”
“Hailee was great! Very responsible and loved on our babies. Also communicated a lot throughout our absence and made me feel very comfortable about leaving our animals behind. Would definitely use her again!”
“Erika took superb care of our elder dog, Allie! Our house was also well taken care of so clean when we got home. I highly recommend Erika to sit for all the pets! We will be contacting Erika again to sit for our girl ❤️”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Oak Grove
Jayden was great with our golden retriever Fig. We just went through the loss of our senior golden, and Fig needed some extra love and care while we were away, she was very accommodating with that. She updated us daily and left our home clean and tidy! Would definitely rebook with Jayden
Megan was amazing with our dog Cerberus! We had her watch our GSD for 12 days and coordinating with her prior to coming over was a breeze, she was very accommodating and easy to work with. During her stay she was amazing with our dog, she sent us updates every day and when we returned he was in good spirits and not at all anxious (though perhaps a bit sad to see her go). A major winter storm hit while we were gone and she handled it great, going above and beyond making sure both our dog and home were okay until we got back. HIGHLY recommend Megan to anyone with anxious or particular dogs, she is great and your pet will be in good hands!

The average cost of House Sitting in Oak Grove is $29 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $52 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 , 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.
