“Christy is the best dog sitter I have ever had. Our dog is very old and needy. She was so sweet with him and sent me pics all weekend of things he was doing. She kept me updated on how he was eating and taking his meds because I was worried he wouldn't do either while we were gone. I’m so thankful I found her and I have already booked another pet sitting appointment with her. Hire her, you wont be disappointed!”
“Cassandra was amazing! She stayed in my home with my little dog for 3 nights. I felt comfortable and confident that she would be the perfect choice for a dog sitter right from the Meet and Greet. I loved receiving pics and updates of my happy doggie. I will definitely be using her service again.”
“Alyssa was amazing! On time, loves animals, went above and beyond, and sent lots of updates with great photos. It is priceless to have peace of mind about your pets when you’re out of town. Highly recommend!”
“Heather was wonderful pet/house sitter for our dog. It was the first time we left him with someone that wasn't family, and he did great. She sent us updates and pictures twice daily. It was nice to see he was being well cared for while we were away. She also took great care of the house and left it possibly cleaner than when we left. I highly recommend Heather!”
“Stacy did a great job caring for our 1 year old high energy Husky/Corgi mix and taking care of our home while we were away. We appreciated her experience with animals and it show in her ability to manage our high energy teenage pup who is also still adjusting from only being adopted a little under a month prior. Her regular photos and updates kept us at ease while we were away in these early stages and when we returned the house was just a we had left it. We look forward to having Stacy watch Frosty again and have already booked her again for our next in home sitting.”
About: I've always had dogs but starting in high-school I began doing extended stay dog care for friends of my parents and neighbors. I've worked with all ages, from puppies to very senior. I work jobs that allow me a somewhat flexible schedule if I needed to go check on a pet. I also don't travel for work so I always around. I takes walks daily so adding a dog to that routine would be a pleasure. I make time for animals because they heal me. I will always respect the owners home and wishes for how the animal is to be worked with and I always make sure that I have a clear understanding of what the owner expects.
“Thomas did a great job with Jojo. She instantly took to him and they bonded quickly. Thomas had a great level of communication and definitely made sure my little girl was taken care of.”
About: What sets me apart from other Rover sitters is my specialized experience in both puppy training and senior pet care. I am skilled in positive reinforcement techniques, ensuring that young dogs develop good habits early on. Additionally, I provide compassionate, attentive care tailored to senior pets’ unique needs, including administering medications and supporting mobility. My dedication to personalized, loving attention ensures every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy in my care. I’m currently working part-time remotely , so i’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups or kitties! Right now I’m available 24/7 because I am saving to having a child! When caring for pets in my clients' homes, I ensure their comfort, safety, and well-being. I maintain feeding schedules, provide fresh water, administer medications if needed, and engage in playtime and exercise. I respect the pets' routines, offer companionship, and keep their environment clean. I communicate regularly with clients, updating them on their pets’ health and behavior, ensuring peace of mind while they're away.
“Kendal was amazing. My dog loved her immediately and she made me feel comfortable leaving him. She was so sweet and attentive and sent pictures everyday. She was very responsive and left my house just as she found it. I will definitely be requesting her again!”
“Hailey was exceptional!! She was on time, communicative, and extremely respectful. She sent me updates and pictures of my fur baby. I definitely would highly recommend her.”
“Laura was amazing! She was punctual, followed all instructions carefully, and kept me updated throughout the stay. When I checked in, she responded quickly and sent photos, which gave me so much peace of mind—especially since this was our first time leaving our puppy. She even took her for a walk, which we really appreciated. We had a great experience and will definitely be booking with Laura again for future pet sitting needs!”
“Amy and Jason were wonderful to work with. They helped us out in a pinch when our pet sitter had to cancel. They took amazing care of our animals and house while we were out of town. They sent lots of pictures and updates of the fur kids. The animals were happy when we returned and the house was very clean.”
“Lydia was so amazing with my shy guys for the holiday week. Everyone was happy and well cared for and I loved getting pictures of them each day! Will happily be using her again!”
“Jennifer was absolutely wonderful with Jojo. Jojo instantly took to her. She was great when I was leaving to keep Jojo preoccupied so she wouldn't get that separation anxiety that she normally gets, I can tell she's played a lot over the last 36 hours because she is worn out. My house looks impeccable, absolutely nothing out of place and I will definitely be hiring Jennifer for all of my future needs.”
“Candice did a great job with our doggos!! They were so tuckered out by how much she played with them. Candice sent regular updates of our pups while we were gone. Definitely will be using her again in the future ?”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Oak Grove
From our very first interaction, Anastasia was exceptionally friendly, prompt, and easy to communicate with. She happily agreed to a meet-and-greet before the job, taking the time to get to know our fur babies and ask thoughtful questions. She followed all our care instructions to the T and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Anastasia kept us updated with regular photo check-ins, and our two dogs looked genuinely thrilled and on cloud nine in every single picture. Her warmth and attentiveness made all the difference, and we will definitely be booking her again. You won't regret hiring her! Thanks so very much Anastasia for your loving and caring service.
Zada was absolutely wonderful! She sent us regular updates to let us know our pets were happy, healthy, and fed. It was great being able to relax on vacation knowing our pets were being well taken care of. She was also very respectful of our home and it looked just as we left it.

FAQs for House Sitting - Oak Grove
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Oak Grove on Rover is $47.73 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 204 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Oak Grove. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Tip: 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Oak Grove. On Rover:
- 80% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 100% 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.
