“Jada was absolutely wonderful during her drop in visit! She graciously allowed me and my pup to meet her before booking. She was so attentive and caring with my dog and it was clear right away that my pup adored her. I really appreciated how patient and engaged she was; she went above and beyond to make sure my dog felt comfortable and happy. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“Gracie is amazing!!! My husband and I added a new fur baby to our family and we were worried about having someone come and play with our Nala girl but thanks to people suggesting Rover I found Gracie! Gracie comes to do a drop-in visit for about an hour! Within that hour she lets Nala out, plays, and makes sure our girl is okay! I would highly suggest Gracie for any service you need for your fur babies!”

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 love caring for animals and I've taken care of many kinds of animals for as long as I can remember. I've had dogs with extra needs (emotional & physical) and senior dogs for many years and I'm happy to help with any needs your pup(s) may have. I love to make simple homemade plant-based treats from scratch and will be happy to share some with your babies too! (with your permission) If your pup has their own favorite treats, of course I'd be happy to share those as well. My dogs have always been my world and I know yours are just as special to you, so when they're in my care they'll be loved just like my own. My schedule is very flexible and I'm free most weekdays and weekends. We can go for strolls around my quiet neighborhood and play outside. Or we can hang out inside and play or just relax; whatever their hearts desire, I'll do my best to make it happen for them. I have a large fenced in back yard in a quiet neighborhood. Plenty of room to run and play. All dogs are fed separately to help ensure their safety (exceptions can be made for dogs from the same household who are accustomed to eating together, granted there are no other dogs around). I have plenty of space in the home to allow everyone their own space if needed. I'll be sending you updates and photos of your fur babies throughout their stay.

“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: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always had a huge love for them! My parents have always had multiple dogs, so caring for and being around dogs has been a big part of my life. I’ve also had my own dog for the past seven years, and he is truly part of my family. I’m very comfortable with the day-to-day responsibilities of caring for a dog, including feeding, walks, playtime, giving lots of attention, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, so I treat every dog like they’re my own and want both you and your pup to feel completely comfortable! I currently work full time as a doctor of physical therapy! I am available at night 5-9 pm for dog walking during the week and I am available on the weekends Friday night- Monday night pick up for bog boarding! I live in an apartment complex with a dog park and take my own dog on multiple walks per day! I can easily crate your dog if that is what you prefer during the day or night!

About: Love living in the area, I have always enjoyed spending time outside in all seasons. On any kind of day, I would love to give your family member a walk/run in the neighborhood or at a nearby park/path or whichever they prefer to get some fresh year and exploration through the smells/sights. For the playful pup, I love to run around and play with them until the sun goes down. I have experienced many years with easy and difficult dogs as being a pet owner myself, finding love and care for all creatures all life from dogs all the way to my 3-year-old goldfish. I can not wait to meet your furry family member and give them all the pets and love they fully deserve!

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!

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.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Oak Grove

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.

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 .

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.

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.

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.
