“SJ did a great job of keeping me updated about my babies. I got lots of pictures and she let me know if the babies ate or not. I will book her again without hesitation. My husband and I have put off vacations because of our dogs and their quirky dispositions but SJ was wonderful!”
“Ryan took excellent care of our dogs! He was great at sending updates and pictures along the way. The dogs were happy and healthy when we returned and the house was clean and tidy.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for years, and one of my favorite things is getting to know each pet’s unique personality! From energetic puppies who want to play all day to older pets who just want a cozy spot and some company, I’m happy to adapt to whatever makes them most comfortable. I’ve cared for pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, and have built great relationships with owners who trust me to care for their furry family members. Many of my clients have booked with me repeatedly, and I take that trust seriously! Since I work remotely, I’m able to spend plenty of time with the pets I’m watching. I love being able to keep them company throughout the day, stick to their usual routines, and make sure they get the attention they deserve. I primarily offer house sitting and drop-in visits because I believe pets are happiest when they can stay in their own familiar environment. Whether your pet needs lots of activity, a little extra patience, or someone to curl up next to while I work, I’m happy to be their temporary best friend! And of course, you can expect plenty of pictures and updates while you’re away! I work remotely full-time, which makes pet sitting a great fit for my everyday routine! As long as I have Wi-Fi and a place to set up my laptop, I can work from just about anywhere, including your home. This means I can spend much of the day keeping your pets company rather than leaving them alone for long stretches. I’m available for overnight house sitting, drop-in visits, and care throughout the week, including weekends. I can easily work potty breaks, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention into my workday. I also have flexibility for last-minute requests and pets who need a little extra attention throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a full-time couch companion or just someone to stop by and check in, I’m happy to work around their routine! I believe pets are most comfortable in their own homes, surrounded by familiar sights, smells, and routines. That’s why I focus on house sitting and drop-in visits, allowing your pets to stay in the environment where they feel safest. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and any special instructions before their stay. I’ll follow your feeding schedules, walking preferences, household rules, and any safety precautions you have in place. I’m also very mindful of respecting your home. I’ll keep things clean, make sure doors and gates are secure, and leave everything as I found it. Communication is a big priority for me! I’ll send regular pictures and updates so you know how your pets are doing. I’ve had many repeat clients over the years, and I know how important it is to have someone you genuinely trust caring for your pets and your home. My goal is for you to come home to happy, relaxed pets and everything just as you left it!
“Addie was exceptional in every way. She asked questions, followed my instructions and constantly kept me updated on Bella. I would highly recommend her and will definitely use her again!”
“5/5 — Absolutely Amazing Experience with Rose! Rose was incredible! She took care of our pets for two weeks and went above and beyond every single day. She sent multiple updates and photos daily, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She followed my detailed written instructions perfectly and made sure everything was done exactly as requested. Not only is Rose professional and trustworthy, but she’s also thoughtful — she left our home spotless before she left! It’s clear she truly cares about the animals she watches and treats them like her own. I can’t recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again!”
About: I treat every pet like family. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages from energetic puppies who need playtime and training, to senior pets who need patience, gentle handling, and medication support. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and routine, making sure they feel safe, loved, and understood while you’re away. Reliability, clear communication, and genuine care are what I’m known for. Pet care is a priority in my daily and weekly routine. I schedule walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddles around my day so every pet gets consistent attention and care. I make sure their needs whether it’s exercise, training, or medication are met on time. Even on busy days, I plan ahead to ensure pets feel safe, happy, and loved. I provide personalized care whether in my home or at a client’s home. I follow each pet’s routine closely feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs like medication or training. In my home, pets receive a safe, clean, and loving environment with plenty of attention and exercise. In a client’s home, I respect their space while maintaining a familiar routine for the pet so they feel comfortable, happy, and secure.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was eight years old, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. Over the past 20 years, I’ve learned how important patience, consistency, affection, and dependable routines are. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and following each dog’s established schedule. I carefully follow owners’ instructions, provide regular photo updates, and treat every dog with the same care and attention I give my own. I work remotely, so I’m home most weekdays and can provide regular supervision, potty breaks, walks, feeding, and playtime. I’m also available for boarding, evening care, and weekends. Pets stay with me inside my clean, calm, pet-friendly apartment. I keep doors secure, supervise them carefully, and take them outside on a leash for regular walks and potty breaks. I follow every owner’s instructions regarding feeding, routines, medication, sleeping arrangements, and interactions with other dogs. I also send regular photo and video updates.
About: I have been around dogs my whole life !! I currently have two dogs of my own as well. I do some dog training. Sit, stay, lay, shake, crate training, and potty training. I work full time however I get two breaks and only work Monday-Thursday. I work from 8-5 and take a break at 1130 and 2:30. I live in a house and have a closed in fence. I take my dogs for a walk or run every day and will play fetch or tug of war with them in the yard. The dogs get lots of outside time and my girls love having new friends to play with! A kennel is not required but I do ask if you have one to bring it. Since we have our own dogs and also board more than one dog we put them up in the kennel when going to sleep at night.
About: I have grown up around animals my whole life. We had big dogs most of the time but have also spent lots of time with small dogs. I am the person all of my friends and family always ask to care for their pets when they leave on vacation. Particularly because they know I will enjoy it but also because they know I will always take great care of their furry family members. I genuinely enjoy walking and caring for all dogs. I walk my dog after work most days so adding another to the pack is no problem for me. I have the capability to work from home if needed and will do what is preferred by any pet owner that trusts me with their furry family. As a pet owner I understand the importance of making sure your loved one is cared for appropriately. I have a fenced in yard and live close to plenty of traffic free trails. I take my dog on walks and runs on these trails sometimes, other we go to dog parks, and occasionally rest at home with plenty of back yard outings. I mention this because I have pet sat for some elderly dogs and they generally prefer short non-strenuous walks. If this is the preference I am more than willing to provide the care requested.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
