Marilyn was wonderful! She is a very kind lady who took wonderful care of our 2 yr old Cavapoo. I got many updates and pictures during her stay too! Our dog kept looking around the house for her after we got home😊

It was our first time using Rover and more importantly, King’s first time having a sitter. He’s usually shy and gets anxious with strangers. But when Kayla showed up, he went directly to her and allowed her to pet him! It was an instant connection. Kayla sent pictures throughout the night and we appreciate that. She made us feel comfortable leaving King and we are so appreciative of her.

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.

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 just moved to St James and I was a little nervous about finding a new cat sitter. Olivia put me at ease right away, and did a terrific job with our kitty. She even brought him a new toy. I receive photos and updates twice a day. On top of that, she was wonderful with watering plants, taking out garbage, bringing in the mail and keeping an eye on our home. I will definitely be rebooking her

She took great care of out dog "Cashew" and gave him all the attention any dog could need and the fun pictures she sent kept us feeling good during our trip. I highly recommend using Jo and will be using her services again in the future.

About: Dogs only want to give and receive love. They are, perhaps, Gods greatest creation. I've worked at a Veterinarian office/Doggy Day Care nearly 5 years, caring for all ages and sizes. I volunteer at the Sheriffs Animal Control Shelter in Supply. I believe dogs enrich the lives of the people around them. I've always been able to bond with dogs. A mutual trust has always come easy. They're all beautiful, and people could learn a lot from them. They make me laugh every day. Dogs will always be safe and happy with me watching over them. I wiil provide great companionship and a soft, warm touch while you're away. I guarantee that you will feel completely secure and confident with my abilities to maintain a safe, fun experience for your dog. Having someone you trust to care for your dog is invaluable. I will be that person. We love to be at home. Being on a walk or hanging outside is what we enjoy. I work at a doggy daycare and can fit pet care at home easily. Daily care of our dog is walking, feeding, brushing hair and teeth, love and cuddles, and of course playing games. We love to take our pebbles with us everywhere. We will give the same care to every dog we meet.

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.

Elizabeth was truly a wonderful dog sitter! She went above and beyond leaving our home spotless, followed our pups schedule, was very communicative and gave us lots of updates and pictures. Our pup is usually very anxious and he was so happy and in such a great mood when we came home. Elizabeth cared for our pup like we do and is the best sitter we have ever had. We can’t thank you enough for taking such wonderful care of our pup and our home. I am looking forward to booking with her again and would highly recommend Elizabeth!

About: Hi! I’m Trinity, and I’ve been around animals my entire life. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to adult/senior dogs, as well as a variety of breeds and sizes. Whether your dog loves walks, playtime, or relaxing, I’m committed to providing attentive and reliable care that fits your pets needs. For the past six years, my family has had a German Shepherd–Belgian Malinois mix, and caring for him has taught me so much about patience and consistency when caring for dogs. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog I care for like they're my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe and happy while giving you peace of mind when you're away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I work remotely, giving me the flexibility to provide individualized care and adapt to each pet's needs. My flexible schedule also allows me to accommodate overnight stays and drop-in visits, so I can provide care to keep your pet's routine as normal as possible. I believe the best pet care starts with consistency, so I make it a priority to follow each owner's routine as closely as possible. Whether I'm caring for pets in a client's home or doing drop-in visits, I ensure they have fresh food and water, plenty of exercise and playtime, bathroom breaks, and lots of attention. Communication is also important to me, so I provide regular updates to give owners peace of mind while they're away. My goal is to create a comfortable and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners.

About: Over the years I've had experience with all stages and ages of pets, especially dogs, but also including horses, chickens, fish, guinea pigs, bunnies, cats etc. I've raised and cared for my own pets from puppies to elder dogs, special needs to the most energetic (or anxious). I've taken in some willful and anxious fur babies that have thrived and became amazing loyal, obedient and loving companions. I have also been blessed with 4 amazing grown kiddos that have pets of their own and I get to care for them often and its the best!! Most of my/my families pets have been rescues but we've also had/have several pure bred Animals (Long-haired German Shepherd, Newfoundland, Maltese, Blue Pittie). I like to make sure the fur babies get lots of love and exercise, but its also okay if your pet is a bit more stand-offish. I truly appreciate when pet parents leave information about routine, pets personality and preferences and will follow instructions meticulously. Special needs, medications, puppy care, etc are also welcome (of course!!). Feel free to ask any questions...look forward to chatting and meeting you/your fur babies. I am an empty-nested Mom and Mimi with my kids' families being spread around CO, NC, TN, GA, STX so I travel to see kids/grandkids/family...a lot...and I love it. This gives me the flexibility to do house sitting/pet care around those visits (in some cases, I've done sits near my kids as well and check both boxes, pet care and visits with the fam). I'm looking to pet/house sit almost full-time around family visits. I'm also VERY open to traveling to pet sits outside my home base area, overseas as well. I lost my little Maltese "Smiles" a few years ago and have poured my snuggles into my kid's 6 dogs. With my travel schedule its hasn't felt like the right time to add a new pet to my personal life so getting to love on my families' pets and those that I sit for really helps fill that void. I only care for pets in your/their home. I am primarily looking for overnight sits, but will also be available for walks and drop-in care.

About: I have always had animals in my life there isn't an animal I can't take care for or love. I am good on following orders you give me so I can properly care for each an individual pet with the needs that they need. I balance my schedule to ensure that my part-time pet sitting hours are entirely open, active, and focused on maintaining your puppy's essential potty and feeding routines. I treat your home with the utmost respect while delivering dedicated care, ensuring your puppy stays safe, well exercised and happy in their own comfortable and familiar environment.

Kelsey was great. We had one of our air conditioners go out just before we left. Kelsey handled the issue with no complaints. The dogs loved her and she kept us updated our entire trip.

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 July 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 July 2026, there are 653 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.

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

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
