“Christy went above and beyond for my kitty while I was out of town for a long weekend. She was very proactive with communication. Left my home in tip-top shape and went above and beyond when a flight got delayed unexpectedly. I would re-book with Christy 100%.”

About: I have taken care of different types of dogs for over 5 years. I usually dog sit for family and friends, but am a dog lover and wanted to branch out on Rover:) I’m currently working part time at a daycare so I will be able to have time to play with your pups, take them on long walks, and give them that enrichment they need! I go to the clients home and do as I am told! I believe that safety and trust are the top priorities for the dog and myself.

About: I have a husky/ retriever mix named Ice. She’ is 3 years old. I also have a cat named Heidi that is 5 years old. If you’d like I can take your dog on walks, to the dog park, and on bike rides seasonally. The jetski rides are just for Ice though 😜 My hope is to eventually fill my schedule completely with pet care for when I don’t have clients scheduled for personal training at a gym. Due to living in a small apartment and having both a dog and cat I won’t be doing pet sitting out of my own home. But I’d be happy to watch pets at client’s home or at the dog park if the client prefers.

About: I have been a veterinarian technician for 2.5 years total. Prior to that experience, I have cared for friends, family and neighborhood pets (including reptiles) while their families were away for one reason or another. They say that you can tell alot by how a person is perceived by animals- even troublesome dogs have grown to tolerate me so I can promise that your fur children will enjoy my company and care. I've gone back to school for Respiratory Therapy which means I'm free to love on the babies all weekend and any time after 3 PM on most weekdays (varies due to distance of travel). Imagine: your dog or cat could help me study for my next exam! I have 2 cats and 2 dogs at home. Everyone is on a strict feeding schedule and my oldest pup required medications morning and evening. I keep a clean and tidy home so you can expect that I'd run a super tight ship with your critters.

“Taylor is awesome. She was prompt,comfortable with our girls. They quickly relaxed with her and she communicated and sent pics. Definitely will ask her to watch them when we need help. Recommend her highly”
“Katy was an AMAZING dog sitter! Our pup is a little anxious and she was so sweet making sure he was comfortable and happy. She sent us updates and pictures and was very quick to respond whenever I messaged her to check in. She stayed at our place and was a wonderful guest. We came home to a super clean house and everything exactly as we left it. Wally was definitely super happy when he was with her and I would 1000% use Katy again to dog/house sit!”

I highly recommend Anastasia! She is wonderful! She always takes such great care of our three pets and does a great job looking after our house when we are out of town. She is very communicative and responds quickly to messages. She takes the cutest pictures of our pets and is always so kind.
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.

The average cost of House Sitting in Oak Grove is $48 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $41 and $61 per night.

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 , 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 .
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 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.
