“Jeffery was so great with my four cats! He made sure to send me updates and pictures every day while I was out of town for thanksgiving. They loved snuggling him and he took great care of my older baby who needed daily meds. Prompt and communicative and very sweet soul!”

“Marian did a fabulous job dropping in on my senior cat while I was on vacation! She was so calm and gentle with my usually very shy cat that he warmed up to her almost instantly. She sent lots of photos and videos of him playing around, which made me so happy to see while on vacation, and was very responsive to messages. I will definitely book with her again!”

“Kelly was AMAZING!!! Her timing was prompt & she went above and beyond my expectations. Working long shifts in healthcare leaves me so stressed knowing my furbabies are at home alone & knowing they got such good care from Kelly was a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. Seriously, I can’t thank her enough. For taking the extra time to walk her, making sure she got multiple potty opportunities, and the photo updates. Highly recommend 🤩”

“Perfect cat sitter! Our shy kitties warmed up to her immediately, putting both our cats and us at ease, knowing they were in good hands. Great communication and pictures! Made sure to play and love on them in addition to basic care. Respectful of our home and left everything very clean. Will book again!”

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, and caring for them has always been a huge part of who I am. I currently have one cat with me at college and three more waiting for me at home, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I volunteer with the Humane Society and a local cat rescue, Comfort Cats, where I help care for cats in need. I am also Fear Free Certified, which means I prioritize reducing stress and creating a safe, positive experience for every pet. I’m currently on the pre-veterinary track in college, and my passion for animal health and welfare continues to grow every day. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, feeding, medication, or simply lots of love and attention, I’ll treat them as if they were my own. I also work at a animal rescue by the name of Final Victory in Columbia! I am currently a full-time college student, but I make it a priority to provide dependable care for every pet I work with. My class schedule allows me to be flexible throughout the week, and I have even more availability on weekends. I plan my schedule carefully so your pets receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to follow your instructions and maintain their normal schedule as closely as possible. As a Fear Free Certified caregiver and pre-veterinary student, I’m trained to recognize signs of stress and provide calm, compassionate care. I will treat both your pets and your home with the same respect and care that I would my own, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I’ve grown up around pups all my life, and have a fur baby of my own! I also have been a dog groomer for about 5 years so dogs have been a part of my daily life for quite some time! During the day I work at the grooming salon and usually have free time after 3:30. Occasionally I may stay an hour or two later depending on how busy the day was! I’m free on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and every other Sunday! I strive to be very attentive, and can accommodate any way I can popping in and out for your fur babies! I can also take trips to grab items, food, or anything else that may be needed!

“Kristin is awesome! I booked check ins for Christmas day and the morning after. I'm so happy she could check on my two cats. She had mentioned to me at the meet and greet that this was her busiest Christmas week yet with a lot of bookings. I have worked in retail for a few years now and Christmas week can be so overwhelming, especially with now that I travel for family while having pets at home. I am so appreciative that she was able to show them care and attention even with one of the craziest weeks of the year. I had booked her in advance but even then I was worried and anxious about this. My job had me scheduled christmas eve, and then I was taking a midnight train to Florida that night. Plus this would be the first night that my cats were alone together without me. I'm just so happy that Kristin could check on them, they were happy and comfortable seeing her while I was gone. I am really thankful for her and she's a great sitter.”

About: Hi! My name is Lyndsey, and I’ve been working professionally with dogs since 2017 as a full-time dog groomer. Caring for animals is something I do every day, and I have experience handling pets of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. From energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience, I understand that every animal has unique needs. I currently share my home with both dogs and cats, so caring for pets is a big part of my daily life. My professional grooming experience has taught me how to safely handle nervous, shy, excited, and high-energy pets while helping them feel comfortable and secure. For drop-in visits and house sitting, I can provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication administration (if needed), litter box cleaning, and plenty of attention and affection. I understand how important routines are to pets, and I do my best to keep them comfortable while their owners are away. I work full-time as a dog groomer Monday through Friday during daytime hours. Because of my schedule, I am best suited for morning visits, evening visits, overnight stays, weekend care, and holiday care. I always communicate clearly with pet parents and provide updates so you can feel confident your pets are receiving excellent care. My goal is to treat every pet like one of my own and provide dependable, loving care while you’re away I’m a full time dog groomer, currently working 9-5 Monday-Friday. I am still able to drop morning or afternoon drop ins also overnights as needed I care for 4 dogs and 2 cats who have their own schedules. I also bring one of my dogs to work with me everyday

About: I’ve been surrounded by pets my whole life - from dogs of all breeds to guineas pigs and cats. Growing up, I eagerly took part in caring for them and have gained a lot of knowledge and experience in pet care. I have also provided pet sitting/walking services to friends and family. Fun fact: I loved animals of all kinds so much as a child, that I became a vegetarian at 13 years old! And I have been one now for over 15 years! I have a very flexible schedule and more than happy to work with you to accommodate your pet’s unique needs, routines, and preferences to ensure they are comfortable and cared for! When caring for your pet in your home, I prioritize their safety, respect your space (and theirs), and strive to create a calm, trustworthy environment where your pets feel secure and loved.

“Katelyn provided high quality care to my three rambunctious border collies. She quickly established a rapport with my two girls, and was kind and patient with my more timid rescue. Her visits were prompt. Her communication was excellent, and I am really hoping she will be available the next time I go out of town.”

About: I am a 20 year old college student at UofSC majoring in biology on a pre-vet track. I love animals and have been surrounded by them since I was little. I have experience with all ages of animals and can cater to their needs according. I have taken care of a variety of animals in the past including cats, dogs, hamsters, ferrets, and snakes. I love all animals so please feel free to reach out to me, I love gaining new experience with taking care of different breeds/species and it will definitely serve useful in my future career as a vet! I'm a dog mom of 3 so a majority of my day is helping take care of them. I make sure they receive plenty of attention and I make sure to provide them with enrichment throughout the day. Sadly now that I am back at school I don't get to see my fur babies as often anymore which is part of the reason I love being able to watch other people's animals. I do currently have a snake named cornflake who keeps me company in my apartment! I treat my animals like they are my children, and when I am watching a clients pet I make sure to treat them the same way. I make sure to follow a clients normal schedule with their pet(s) to try and reduce stress and I make sure to communicate any questions/concerns I might have. My priority is to cater to the animals individual needs including how much time they enjoy being outside, if they enjoy walks, if there is any training they do, their bathroom schedule, etc.

About: Hi! I'm a college student from Charleston with a lifelong passion for caring for animals. I currently live on a farm, so I'm comfortable caring for all kinds of animals, including small and large dogs, cats, horses, goats, cows, and more. I've been around dogs and cats my entire life, growing up with Pit Bulls, and I now have my own Cane Corso named Marley, as well as 3 cats, Mochi, Casper, and Stormy. Because of that, I'm confident handling dogs and cats of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I've been pet sitting and babysitting since I was 14 years old. Whether it's family, friends, or neighbors, people have trusted me for years to feed, walk, play with, and most importantly, keep their pets safe and loved while they're away. I understand that every pet has its own personality and routine, and I always take the time to make them feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or cuddles, I'll treat them like one of my own. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I strive to provide dependable, attentive care and regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My schedule is very flexible, being that I am a college student. I get out of school at 11 am and go in at 8 am, which means the rest of my day, or the early mornings, can be dedicated to your furry friend. When caring for pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I'll follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any special routines your pet is used to. I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while you're away. I'll also make sure they always have fresh water, clean up after them, and keep your home tidy and secure. I know how important it is to trust someone with both your pet and your home, so I'll treat each with the same care and respect I would my own. I'll also provide regular photo and video updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

Kendra went above and beyond to accommodate for my cat while I was gone for 5 weeks recovering from surgery. She kept her fed, watered and made sure she had a clean litter box while giving her plenty of love and Churu in the meantime. I cannot recommend Kendra enough!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Oak Grove

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Oak Grove is $16 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $20 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 October 2026, there are 501 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Oak Grove. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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 .

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.

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 .

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

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

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.
