“Brooklyn was excellent with our pups and bird. She was attentive to their needs and provided daily updates and pictures. She accommodated our early return for an emergency. Would not hesitate to use her again. Thank you”

“I can't thank Marilyn enough for the care she took with my dog and parrot. The parrot can be difficult, and Marilyn handled her just right. Both the "kids" and I are crazy about her! I will have her back again for sure.”

“We're so happy we found Kayla. She watched our dog at her home and stopped in to check on our cats and chickens while we were away for a few days. She's so nice and very responsive. Well definitely be using her again!”

“Allen was great! I needed a last minute sitter and Allen was the perfect choice. Great communication and put up with my silly dogs with no complaints. Left my house in great condition. I look forward to having him stay with my beasties again. Thank you so much! 💜”
“Shannon did an outstanding job, housesitting and taking care of Tate. She was impressive with her quick response, then suggestted a pre-visit to our house and to meet with Tate. She was right on time for the pre visit, also on the first day with Tate, along when she left. The house was spotless when we got home, she took out the trash, I think she did some laundry as well. We will defenitley use Shannon for our future trips out of town. Thank you.”

“We found Alissa to be a very responsible person who truly enjoys caring for animals. She treated our dog and cat as if they were her own. She is reliable, trustworthy and goes above and beyond. My dog adored her and that means everything to us. It is apparent from the moment you see her interact with your dog that it is not just a business to her, it is her love.”

About: I have been around dogs my entire life. My family has owned Australian Boarder-Collies, Shelties, a Pap-pom (Pomeranian/Papillon mix), Portugese Water Dogs and Great Pyrenees. I currently have an older Central Asian Shepherd named Cole who’s a gentleman that I’ve had since a pup and a 1 year old female hound/lab mix named Indigo. I can absolutely administer medicine to your dog(s) if need be I own 2 dogs that I take care of on a daily basis. Depending what kind of dog you have and their energy levels would decide which of my dogs your dog(s) like best but whatever my dogs do your dog is welcome to tag along if they chose. I do not have a fenced in yard currently but will be building an enclosure soon. If your dog is prone to running off I can take them outside on the leash or tie them up to an extension leash when we are outside. I’m not really sure what this question is asking. Currently just offering services at my place as I don’t have time to stay at someone else’s with the work around here My younger puppy stays in her crate when I’m not around as she likes to ruin things still but my older dog roams free. If your dog normally stays in a crate you are welcome to bring it. I do have a back up crate available if that’s preferred to bringing one.
“Kelsey did a great job watching my dog! She was very communicative and sent pictures! I really appreciate how she not only cared for my pup but also my home! Highly recommend her!”

“Sarah is a great pet sitter, all 4 of my animals seemed to be very comfortable with her. She left the house very tidy when we came home after a long weekend. We have hired her twice now and she will be out first choice next time we need a sitter”

“I could not be happier that I chose Darian to stay with my dog Enzo while I had to go out of town. I was nervous about leaving him and she calmed me down while providing excellent care. Do not hesitate to hire Darian she is simply amazing.”

“Rob took very good care of our boy Toby, sent us daily updates with pictures and videos which lowered our anxiety and made our trip more enjoyable. He followed all our instructions to a "T" to keep Toby on track with our daily routine with feeding times, walks and playtime. We would recommend Rob to anyone looking for a live-in dog-sitter to care for their pet.”

“Stacey was amazing with my boxer, Piper! She is so sweet, very informative, and extremely reliable. She sent regular updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind on my long trip, and she even continued checking on Piper after the visit. It’s clear she genuinely cares about her pets, and I would absolutely book with her again!”

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and even a pet lizard. Being around animals has always brought me joy, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with love, patience, and attention. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or companionship, my goal is to help your pet feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away! Pet care fits really well into my weekly routine! It is something that I genuinely love doing and am very passionate about. My schedule is incredibly flexible which allows me to be available for walks, drop-ins, and other care throughout the week as needed. I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. I follow their normal routines and pay close attention to their needs so they feel relaxed and at ease. I’m careful during walks and visits, and I always make sure pets are supervised and secure. My goal is to build trust with both pets and owners so you feel confident and worry-free while you’re away.
About: I have cared for pets my whole life. Starting at a very young age with neighbors and family pets. My love for pets grow every day. I help humane society and other animal charities as much as possible, as it pains me to see ANY animal go unloved or cared for. I am reliable and loyal to all of my fur baby friends!🤗 I currently work for myself as a cosmetologist/hairdresser/makeup artist. So my schedule is very flexible. I have a lot of time to fill in between clients and days off and I look forward to you committing myself to your pet needs! I currently do not have a place to provide pet care at home but will be happy to meet your pet needs at your home or in your neighborhood for walking! I do drive so I can drive to dog parks as well!
About: I’ve worked as a vet assistant administering medication, comforting pets, trained in helping pets in high stress situations, and moderate knowledge of veterinary medicine. I truly love every pet like my own. I’m calm, reliable, and experienced with seniors, medications, puppies, and nervous pets. I understand how hard it is to be away, so I’m here to give your pets the same love and attention you would. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I’m mostly free throughout the day. This flexibility lets me give your pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care whenever they need it. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I create a calm, safe environment where pets feel comfortable and loved. I follow their specific routines for feeding, exercise, and medication, giving plenty of attention and affection. Whether it’s playing with kittens, helping seniors relax, or managing special needs, I treat every pet like family to ensure they’re happy and stress-free.

FAQs for House Sitting - Oak Grove
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Oak Grove on Rover is $37.45 per night (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of June 2026, there are 658 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.
