“I am so thankful for Hannah taking care of my cat while I was out of town. I had to leave last minute for my dads funeral and memorial services. The washing machine flooded the basement, ankle deep, the night before the flight out- not the only disaster. With Hannah / Rover, my kitty was one thing that was in good hands, one less worry. I messed up dates on the app, Hannah fixed it. She called me to let me know the power was shut off so I was able to fix it same day. I accidentally ordered a bunch of books that got delivered after we left, she brought them in. 10/10 would recommend. Happy happy cat and everything good when we got back.”

About: I’ve had animals my whole life. I grew up on a dairy goat farm. All sorts of dogs, horses, cats, cows, goats, etc. I have had Chihuahuas all the way through German Shepherds. Puppy age all the way through their whole lives. I am the biggest animal (especially dog) lover! I love meeting new personalities. I would spend 24/7 lounging around with my dogs & cats if I could!🩷 I currently have a 16 year old Minature Schnauzer, and an under 1 year old Goldendoodle. My old girl currently takes quite a few medications and likes her alone time. My little man loves to play, be active, and requires hands on often. Therefore, I work with a spectrum of needs. I will make sure your baby has all the play time (or alone/rest time) they need!🩷 I am a professional MMA fighter & bar tend on the weekends! Most of my job consists of being at the gym just a couple hours at a time. And I live 5 minutes away from where I train! It makes spending time with & caring for pets easy and frequent. I only bar tend two days on the weekend (and my boyfriend is home most of that time too 😁 ) Home visits 🏡: In my client’s homes, I can easily care for your pets however you need. I will play games with your furry friends, lounge around with them, etc. I am a very active person & love taking long walks myself, so I would love to do that with your dog if you’d like! I am a reliable, very detail oriented gal. Whatever instructions you leave, I’ll get them done. I love when my clients can come back to a clean, comfortable space after caring for their fur babies. Boarding 🐶: I have a fenced in back yard on a quieter side street. We have an older Miniature Schnauzer, under 1 year old Goldendoodle, and two gentle, quiet cats that lounge around (pretty much keeping to themselves) 🩷 I have plenty of space in my living area to have the zoomies. I have a spare room to give your pet some rest and seclusion too! That means I also have ample room to crate your doggie, if needed. We would love to have your best friend come hang with us 🙂

About: I have been around dogs my entire life from small to large breeds. We always had dogs as I was growing up and continue to have dogs now. I am very flexible with my schedule, so I have time for all activities including going for walks and getting them the exercise they need. I am home every day with a very flexible schedule. I can accommodate your pets' needs throughout the day. I am also available on short notice. I can handle large and small dogs alike. I will make sure they get the exercise and affection they need while also attending to the basics. Weather it's going for a jog or a walk, I will make sure your pet is safe and happy.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember! Growing up, I was always around pets and started pet sitting and dog walking at a young age. I’ve cared for all kinds of animals and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and routine. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone you trust, so I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pup needs a long walk, some extra playtime, lots of cuddles, or simply a little company while you’re away, I’m happy to help! I’d love the opportunity to meet your furry friend and give them the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. I’m able to work walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting into my routine while making sure your pet gets the care and attention they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I follow your instructions closely, respect your home and your pet’s routine, and make sure they’re supervised, comfortable, and cared for throughout my visit.

About: I absolutely adore spending time with dogs and giving them the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve while their families are away. Whether it’s energetic daily walks, playful park adventures, or calm drop-ins with plenty of belly rubs and treats, I make sure every pup feels happy, safe, and loved. With my flexible schedule as an Audiologist Assistant and Pilates instructor-in-training, I’m often available for morning, midday, or evening walks and can accommodate last-minute needs. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels (including seniors and high-energy pups), and I’m comfortable with basic medications, special diets, or following any custom routines your dog needs. Pet parents can count on me for frequent photo and text updates so you never miss a moment. Safety is my top priority — I always use secure leashes, check for hazards, and follow your instructions to the letter. I’m a mom to a sweet little girl and believe in treating every pet like part of the family. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, enthusiastic dog walker who will give your furry friend the best care possible, I’d love to meet you and your pup!

About: Hello! My name is Maggie. I’m a 31 year old living in South Lyon, & a lover of all animals; the furry, the scaled, the smelly, the shy, the rambunctious, & every animal in between. I’ve had a dog in my home since I was born. My specialty is rabbits! Rabbits are such unique creatures, & I know how to give them the care & gentle love they need. I’ve had 5 cats, 4 dogs, & 1 rabbit in my lifetime, & now, due to my living situation, I am unable to have my own furry pal. I am hoping to get my fix of animal love through this service, while also helping those who need a little help with their busy work schedule or holiday travel plans. I promise to give your pets the same love I would give my own! If you have any questions or concerns feel free to send me a message. Thanks! As a stay at home mom, my schedule is flexible. My toddler would accompany me to drop ins, but he has strict boundaries with animals. If your pet loves kids - great! My kiddo loves animals! If your pet is hesitant to kids, no worries - my son knows he isn’t allowed to go near animals without permission. If you aren’t comfortable with my son being around, I am available Wed-Fri for solo pet care! My husband is home those days! I understand that all pets have different boundaries & quirks. If you have an escape artist cat living in your home, I will be sure to take extra care opening the doors. If your puppy is working on training, I am happy to help continue to with positive reinforcements. Upon meeting, will can go over all your pets’ needs… and their quirks! There will be no shortage of cuddles & playtime for those pets who need extra attention. And pets who take a little longer to build trust will soon find themselves a new friend to find comfort in!

About: I thought I would grow up to be a veterinarian. I love to sit and enjoy my time with Dogs. Animals my passion and I love and enjoy all of them! I’d love to use my strengths and education with 15 years of hands on animal handling skill and training to cater to the needs of your pets to comfort your companion while you're away, I can assure you the pet owner they’re living their best life in my care. I send tons of pictures and show love care and compassion. I have been an animal handler and curated for 15 years, comforting and catering to your companions. I would love to be that trusted person you book when it comes to your pets needs and overall bliss! I have open availability. Taking new clients! I handle dogs and cats every single day! I have a wonderful dog named Charlie (really my mom’s dog) and have been handling a multitude of breeds for 15 years. Learning all different kinds of personalities. I have come accustomed to understanding animals in a way that serves me and can serve you comfort and overall peace and joy knowing your companion is in the best care possible. I love being an animal handler and specializing in dogs specifically. I have curated my skills and know how to really be there for your pet in a way that matters. Every day and every action will add up in your overall animals life quality and I know how to do things for your pet that will matter later down the line, when you don’t have time to. I do! Communication is huge for me and your pet! Your pets schedule and goals are my mission and I don’t miss out on sending tons of update pics and what we have planned for the day! I care for dogs in my clients home. I do not host in my home. But the ultimate focus when I’m at my clients home is paying attention to your dogs behavior. Separation anxiety is a huge trigger for dogs not eating and becoming unhealthy and creating unhealthy habits and I do everything in my power to distract the worry and bring play and fun and most importantly comfort. Your dog will learn how to communicate with me very quickly and once I can assess their needs, wants and desires then they tend to feel heard and more at peace with their owner being away. Creating or sticking to a schedule and incorporating healthy dog play and walks is important. A healthy dog is an happy dog! When I come back they are joyful! I love that feeling of creating a good relationship with your pet, And with YOU!

About: I’ve always been an animal lover and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs of all personalities, sizes, and ages. As a proud Boxer dad, I understand that pets aren’t just pets, they’re family. I’m patient, attentive, and big on making sure every dog feels comfortable, safe, and loved. Whether it’s keeping an energetic pup entertained, going on walks, giving extra attention to senior dogs, or simply keeping your pet company, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I also understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I want them to feel right at home while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I enjoy getting outside for walks, making time for playtime, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I’m happy to work with each owner’s schedule and make sure their pet gets the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I don’t believe in rushing pet care. Every dog deserves time, patience, and plenty of love! Safety and trust are always my biggest priorities. I want every pet in my care to feel comfortable, safe, and right at home. I have three dogs of my own, a Boxer named Pegasus and two Pugs, so I understand the importance of a safe and welcoming environment. My home also has a fenced-in yard where dogs can enjoy some outdoor time and play safely while supervised. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions from their owner. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, they’ll get the same love, patience, and attention I’d expect for my own. After all, I know firsthand that they’re family!

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for many years including child care at a young age, being there for an animal, child or human is my nature - it comes naturally! I have many skills but pet and child care is just who I am I would not consider it a skill :). Integrating Pet Care into My Daily Routine Caring for my pets is not just a responsibility; it’s a fulfilling part of my daily life that enriches my routine in numerous ways. Here’s how I seamlessly integrate pet care into my day: - Morning Routine Early Start: My day begins with a morning walk, allowing my dogs to stretch their legs and enjoy the fresh air. This not only keeps them healthy but also sets a positive tone for the day. Feeding Time: After our walk, I prepare nutritious meals tailored to each pet's dietary needs, ensuring they start their day with the right fuel. - Midday Check-Ins Playtime: If I’m home, I take breaks to engage in play sessions with my pets, providing them with mental stimulation and strengthening our bond. Quality Time: Whether it’s a quick cuddle or a game of fetch, these moments are vital for their emotional well-being and my own. - Evening Routine Family Time: In the evenings, my pets are an integral part of family activities. They join us for relaxation, watching TV, or even participating in quiet reading time, creating a sense of togetherness. Nightly Walks: Before bedtime, I make sure to take my dogs out for another walk, allowing them to unwind and enjoy the night air. Flexibility and Adaptation Adaptable Schedule: My routine is flexible enough to accommodate any special needs or unexpected situations, such as vet visits or grooming appointments, ensuring my pets receive the best care possible. Continuous Learning Ongoing Education: I dedicate time to learning about pet care, attending workshops, or reading articles to enhance my knowledge and stay updated on best practices. Incorporating pet care into my daily routine not only ensures my pets are happy and healthy but also brings immense joy and fulfillment to my life. Their companionship and the love we share motivate me to prioritize their needs, making every day a rewarding experience. Caring for pets, whether in my home or my client's homes, involves a comprehensive approach that prioritizes their well-being, safety, and happiness. Here’s how I ensure exceptional care: In My Home 1. Safe Environment: - I maintain a pet-friendly space, free from hazards such as toxic plants, chemicals, or small objects that could be ingested. - Designated areas for eating, sleeping, and playing are established to create a sense of security. 2. Routine Care: - Daily feeding schedules are adhered to, with meals tailored to meet the nutritional needs of each pet. - Regular grooming sessions help maintain their hygiene and comfort, including brushing, bathing, and nail trimming. 3. Exercise and Enrichment: - I provide ample opportunities for physical activity through walks, playtime, and interactive toys to keep pets engaged and healthy. - Mental stimulation is encouraged through puzzle toys and training sessions, fostering a strong bond and enhancing their skills. 4. Health Monitoring: - I keep a close eye on their behavior and health, noting any changes that may require veterinary attention. - Regular vet visits are scheduled for vaccinations, check-ups, and preventive care. In Client's Homes Personalized Care Plans: - Each pet receives a tailored care plan based on their specific needs, preferences, and routines as discussed with the owner. - I ensure that I follow the owner’s guidelines closely, maintaining consistency in care. Daily Routine Maintenance: - I replicate the pet's usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, exercise, and playtime, to minimize stress during the owner's absence. - I provide regular updates to pet owners, sharing photos and notes about their pet's behavior and activities. Safety Precautions: - I ensure that the home environment is secure, checking for any potential hazards and keeping doors and gates closed. - Emergency contacts, including the owner’s vet, are kept handy in case of unforeseen situations. Companionship and Attention: - I dedicate quality time to each pet, providing companionship and attention to alleviate any feelings of loneliness. - Engaging in activities that the pet enjoys helps maintain their happiness and well-being. Post-Care Clean-Up: - After each care session, I ensure the home is tidy, cleaning up any pet-related messes and leaving the space as I found it.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Oak Grove

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Oak Grove is $26 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $33 per visit. 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 2,241 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Oak Grove. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

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

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

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.
