“Meghan was absolutely wonderful and took great care of my pups! They were all very well loved and cared for while I was gone. She was very communicative and sent me daily pictures and updates.”
“She is amazing! Our dog was obviously pampered and much more relaxed than usual when we get back. I’ve never been so confident that she was treated well and our house was exceptionally well cared for as well. She even taught our old dog a new game. 100% recommended.”
“Jordyn was great! She was available super last minute July4th weekend. We set up a meet and greet same day and I was able to show her the routine for my pup and she followed it to a tee. She gave me consistent updates and communication regarding my pup! I felt super comfortable with her caring for him and he loved her. She also was super respectful of my place. I highly recommend her!”
“Kyla was a truly attentive, communicative sitter. She was great with Chico during the meet and greet and asked good questions, leaving me to feel 100% comfortable leaving Chico in her care. She was flexible and gracious with last minute changes, sent updates and pictures while I was away, and left my home very neat after her stay.”
“Aidan was great! I left my anxious hound dog, Dean, in his care over a long weekend. He was very responsive, and proactive about sending updates with adorable pictures. Dean does not warm up to everyone, but was so sad when Aidan left and was stuck with me again. I'll be using him again in the future.”
“Available for a last minute trip, Cindy was a huge help! Responsive, cared for my dog well and kept me updated. I felt comfortably leaving my home and fuzzy buddy in her care.”
“Emily is terrific. She did such a great job watching our pup. Our dog experiences pretty bad separation anxiety and typically doesn’t eat all his meals when we are away - but with Emily he did! She was absolutely wonderful and we will most definitely be reaching out to her again!! She sent us pictures daily, kept the house tidy and was simply great to have. Thanks again Emily for the great experience!”
“Noel is amazing. She’s kind, attentive and connected easily with my dogs. She sent pictures and texts during the weekend and addressed their needs exceptionally well. Teddy & Pip were happy and relaxed when we got home.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember.. Growing up with everything from cats and dogs to rabbits, spiders, ferrets and even the occasional rescue critter. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and I truly feel at home when I’m surrounded by furry friends. I absolutely adore cats! Their quirky personalities & quiet cuddles melt my heart & I love the energy & companionship dogs bring. Whether it’s playtime, long walks, or just keeping your pet company while you’re away, I treat every animal with the same love & care I give my own. My schedule has its quirks, but it works in your pet’s favor! Tuesdays and Thursdays are actually my most flexible days, perfect for morning and evening walks or extended hangouts with your furry companion. As a full-time grad student and part-time social worker, my hours can be a little unpredictable but I always make time for what matters. Even with a busy calendar, caring for animals is a priority I never push aside. Whether it’s a midday drop-in or a sunset stroll, I’m happy to fit in the love and attention your pet deserves. Safety, trust, and a calm environment are at the heart of the care I provide. Whether I’m coming to your home for a walk, a cuddle session, or staying for an overnight house sit, I treat your space and your pets with the utmost respect and care. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your furry family member in someone else’s hands, and I take that responsibility seriously. I follow any routines you’ve set, keep their environment clean and peaceful, and make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved at all times. Whether it’s daily check-ins, long walks, or overnight companionship, I show up with patience, attention, and genuine care.
“Emily is super responsive and did a wonderful job taking care of my dog. I came home to a happy dog who acted as though I had just popped out to the grocery store. For an anxious dog, I couldn’t ask for a better reception.”
“Thane was great! Our pups and cat were well taken care of and our house was just as we left it! Communication was great and loved all of the pictures that were sent as well - would definitely book again!”
“Kyle has been great! Easy to communicate with, extremely helpful, flexible with my ever changing travel schedule, and of course wonderful with my elderly dogs. I’ve booked with him multiple times and will continue to do so in the future.”
“I can’t say enough great things about Melanie! She took such amazing care of my Frenchie while I was away. From the moment we met, I could tell she genuinely loves dogs and knew exactly how to handle my pup’s quirky personality and needs. I received regular updates, photos, and videos, which totally put my mind at ease. My Frenchie came back happy, relaxed, and maybe even a little spoiled—in the best way! I’m so grateful for the love and attention they gave. I’ll absolutely be booking with them again!”
“Alex was amazing - very professional! He was very attentive to our wishes and instructions, excellent communicator, punctual and all the things you would expect from hiring a pro. The house was left clean and he genuinely seems to care for our pets and enjoy their company. Got photos every day and followed our complicated medication schedule. The dogs seemed happy and healthy when we returned! We HIGHLY recommend!”
“Kali is my go-to dog sitter. She always does great with my little Morty Mouse whether its boarding or in-home sitting. She is reliable, communicative, and a true animal lover. Morty knows her by name and always feel safe and loved when we go out of town. Hire Kali and your pets will be loved just like youre at home”
“Sarah was wonderful. She communicated well. Our dogs were well taken care of. It sure helps to feel good when you have to leave the dogs home. I would highly recommend her.”

Oak Grove pet parents share their Rover experiences
Caitlin was excellent!! She took great care of my apartment and more importantly great care of my sweet cat Ophelia while I was out of town for a week. Caitlin is very kind and accommodating and she is always super quick to respond to messages. My cat has separation anxiety and also recently had to go through a major dietary and feeding routine change after getting an early stage kidney disease diagnosis. I was pretty nervous to have to leave her for a week while she was still adjusting to the new routine and not eating as well as I would like. But Caitlin truly did an amazing job with her. She kept me updated daily as requested and was able to get Ophie eating regularly (even the new prescription wet food which she was not a huge fan of before I left)! She has a very calm and caring energy which I think helped Ophelia feel safe and at ease while I was gone. Ever since I came home Ophie has been eating eagerly and regularly which she hasn't done in months. I honestly think the week she spent with Caitlin was healing for her and I couldn't be more grateful. I don't travel often but if/when I do I would be thrilled to have Caitlin caring for my cat again and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and responsible sitter for their own furry friend.
Jenna was incredibly kind, patient, and understanding of my aging lab with behavioral quirks and travel anxiety. He can be extremely wary of being touched by new people - she was kind to him and worked within his boundaries. She honestly went above and beyond with him. She was also great with my shy kitty, Walter, who apparently wanted pets which is unusual for him!
Lynne was an amazing overnight sitter for our two pups while we were on an international trip! She was super responsive, thoughtful, and caring for our whole family - which was wonderful! Knowing that our girls were being so well cared for AND having fun while we were away made the trip even better. We highly recommend Lynne for all your petsitting needs!
One word to describe Christine and that is AWESOME. She took care of my 4 month old puppy for my first time leaving her and she nailed it. She kept me updated with the cutest photos and I could tell right away she was loving and caring for my little girl. She even helped with training as we are in a puppy class. I will use Christine in all my future pet sitting needs as long as she is available, as I hope she always is for me.
I can’t say enough good things about Rebecca. House and dog sitting our Corgi, she is always communicative, enthusiastic, and willing to do whatever needs to be done outside of pet care, like tending to our small garden. Telly loves her and even gets to hang out with her own Corgi, Waffles. We got daily photos and updates, which made leaving so much easier. Thank you, Rebecca! ❤️
Rose did an amazing job watching our dog and cat while we were away for a week. It’s such a relief to know how well taken care of they are so we could relax on vacation! Rose is an excellent communicator and sent regular updates and pictures. The pets were very happy and the house looked great upon our return! We are repeat customers and would definitely work with Rose again.
We had another great experience working with Egon! They did a wonderful job taking care of our grumpy old cat and two kittens :) We knew the kitties and our house were in good hands, and we came home to a tidy house and happy cats. We'll definitely be asking Egon to housesit for us again!
