“Highly recommend! Charity was able to help with four last-minute drop-in visits and took wonderful care of my dog. Communication was great, I loved the updates and photos, and I had complete peace of mind knowing my pup was in such good hands.”
“Jada was awesome! We got to meet her the day before she cared for our dogs and she hit it off with them right away! It was like they already knew her! It was impressive. We got pictures of the dogs after each drop in. When we got home, the dogs were calm and happy. Obviously I would recommend her. She has a good amount of repeat customers, and she just got one more. Word of mouth is the best advertising. It was a pleasure working with her!!”
“Nontombe made me feel so wonderful about being able to leave my pet in her care! She was wonderful, took several pictures and kept me updated on how she was doing. I’ll definitely rebook with Nontombe :)”
About: My dog is my child and I will make sure your pet is treated like family. I have lived with a dog for as long as I can remember. I had a Shih tzu growing up which gave me experience with a smaller dog and now I have a 6 year old pitbull boxer that is 45lbs of pure love and energy. I have lived in a house where 3 different breeds and ages of dogs lived together, so I have experience in all kinds of combinations of dog scenarios. As a dog owner, I understand the stress of leaving your best friend behind and needing care, let me take that stress so you can worry only about what you had to leave for I work full time, but I can do drop in visits or dog walking anytime after 5, and before 8 on weekdays or anytime on weekends. I live in a house with my dog Pacho who gets plenty of exercise and my philosophy is to treat your pups like they are mine. I love to just be with dogs and let them have some exercise
“Anna was the best rover experience we have had for our dog Kira thus far!! So prompt, sends so many photos and updates every-time she is with your dog! Very trustworthy and willing to work with schedule/timing! Would recommend and will use again!”
“Elizabeth was a great sitter for our senior cat with special needs! She went above and beyond to help us make sure our sweet boy was comfortable and cared for. We’re excited to use her again in the future!”
“Cody has been wonderful with Chip and consistently provides excellent drop-in visits. They are reliable, attentive, and always send thoughtful updates and pictures, which gives me great peace of mind while I’m away. Chip is clearly comfortable with them and always seems happy and well cared for. I’m very grateful to have someone I can trust for his recurring visits and would highly recommend them!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Oak Grove
Kelly was amazing!! It was the first time we had left our dogs for more than a couple nights and she out everyone at ease. We got plenty of updates and pictures, our girls were well played with, and she even fed our lizard when it was time. We knew our girls were in great care the whole time. She truly went above and beyond, even when one of the girls got a little sick. We will absolutely be using her for any and all future needs!
I can't recommend Madison enough! I found myself in a really difficult situation when I had to let my original sitter go just a couple of hours into a weekend trip. Although Madison was already booked and couldn't house sit, she immediately stepped in and offered to do multiple drop-in visits instead. She was incredibly flexible, let me book on the fly, spent extra time with Melanie whenever she could, and stayed in constant communication the entire weekend, which gave me so much peace of mind. When my backup sitter had a family emergency and ended up in the ER with her son, Madison even squeezed in an additional last-minute visit to make sure Melanie was taken care of. She also helped track down Melanie's medication and made sure she got it when I realized the stress of everything was affecting her. Madison truly went above and beyond, and I'm so grateful for her kindness, reliability, and willingness to help during a stressful situation. I have booked with her multiple times and wouldn't hesitate to book with her again!
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!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Oak Grove is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $24 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 November 2026, there are 1,076 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Oak Grove. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Oak Grove. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
