“As always, Matthew goes above and beyond what is asked of him. His interaction with our kitty is excellent, even when jasper wakes him up at 3 AM. Matthew is attentive to jasper and our home, which is much appreciated. He's terrific!”
“Kristin is wonderful! She took great care of our senior dog and many cats and was communicative throughout with texted updates and photos. Tidied up after herself and did all she promised. This was our first time using Rover and we couldn't be happier. We came home to a house full of relaxed and happy pets 😁 Will definitely re-book with Kristina in the future!”
“We have a senior dog who needs someone with her and Caleigh did a great job with her. She provided pics several times during our trip which were greatly appreciated. House was in great shape when we got home. Will definitely book her again!”
“My family and I recently went on a week long roadtrip and had Lauren watch our 3 dogs while we were away. Lauren was very attentive and sent updates with photos of the pups daily. I will definitely hire Lauren again and recommend her if you’re looking for great pet sitter!”
“Sydney was amazing!!! This was our first time working with her and we are very happy and pleased!!! All of our fur babies were taken very well care of and got lots of loving while we were gone. Sydney kept us updated and helped my anxiety of leaving our babies at home while we were away. She even cleaned up so we could just focus on relaxing with our babies when we got home. She is awesome and we would love to work with her again!!!”
“Simone watched our elderly dogs over July 4 and did a wonderful job. Our puppies seemed really happy when we got home and all of their medication had been administered Simone stayed at our house and you would never know she was there. The house was so clean when we got home. She is excellent, extremely responsible and very, very kind. Our dogs were in good hands!”
“Karissa took very good care of our dogs while we were away. Our dogs are like our kids and Karissa went above and beyond to ensure they were comfortable and given proper care. Highly recommend her to take care of your loved ones.”
“Rebekah was wonderful to my 2 little ladies while I was on a business trip. She walked them, fed them and sent a lot of photos & detailed updates every day. She also was very neat and clean in my apartment, and it was apparent the dogs felt comfortable with her. Would definitely recommend her and will book her again when needed!”
About: I am a psychology major with a LOVE for taking care of animals. My first job was when I was only ten years old - watching my neighbors’ two dogs & 1 cat 🐾 I have experience working in pet stores as well! Animals have always been a huge part of my life and working with them has brought me so much joy throughout the years. I am a cat mom to my own furry baby, Pongo as well. Pet care fits into my daily routine because I have my own furry baby! I have a siamese cat, Pongo, who I’m always making sure is attended to. Whether that’s refilling his bowl, cleaning the litterbox, or throwing his favorite blanket in the dryer so he can have a warm blanket to kneed on, I am always on my toes making sure Pongo is loved. I care for my client’s pets by first, having a consultation with the owners to get to know their needs. Whether there’s a dietary restriction, or something I need to take the extra step in making the pet or owner comfortable, I make sure to check all my boxes.
About: Ive worked at a pet resort for past two years providing doggy daycare and kennel care to boarders. I did dog walking and enrichment at the humane society. Spent most of my time there caring for elder dogs and ones without company. Ive also fostered elder dogs and puppies. At home in Florida I also own two dogs a 2 year old golden doodle and a 16 year old boxer. I am free every morning and evening throughout the week. I have class Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 12-3 and Tuesdays and Thursdays 9:30-1:30. I have practices for an two at night usually 5:30-7:30. I am free any other time though. Im usually a very active person so I will make sure your dog is getting lots of care and activity. This will depend on the service. If you are boarding your pet will stay in my home and be nicely taken care of and fed at appropriate feeding schedules. I am very loving on all dogs and great at building their trust. Daycare the dog would stay during the day and experience a lot of energy relief allowed to bring siblings with. Dog walking again giving great exercise and gets nice stops with lot of loving.
About: I have taken care of a variety of dogs for my friends and loved ones! I miss them while in school, and would love the opportunity to take care of your cutie! I am currently finishing up my degree and could use a joyful break. Would love to take your dog on a run/walk that’s already part of my routine. We can both get some wonderful sunlight and photosynthesize 🌸 I have a fenced in back yard and a crate if needed. My neighborhood is dog friendly with all my neighbors having dogs, who at times get taken out for walks around our peaceful neighborhood.
“Kathryn was very attentive to our dogs, keeping a similar schedule for them everyday and engaging with them regularly during her stay. Her communication with us was as good as it gets! We will definitely book with her in the future. 10/10.”
“We recently used Rover for the first time with Jillian as our dog sitter. It was such a nice experience for us and our pups loved her. Jillian is very caring, kind and punctual. She kept us informed every day so we could enjoy our vacation. I would highly recommend Jillian to anyone needing a dog sitter!”
“Brianna was amazing!! Very thorough and asked a lot of good questions in order to get to know our dogs and their routines. Very responsive and communicative throughout the day which we appreciate! I highly recommend and will be using Brianna in the future ☺️”
“Rocio has been so amazing! Rocio was absolutely incredible with my dogs! She kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. I would definitely book with Rocio again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
“Aubrey was fantastic! She was very communicative, sent lots of photos, and overall just made me feel really comfortable with leaving my two boys with her. Highly recommend.”
“I could not have asked for a better sitter for my guy, Jasper. Ashley was exceptional and he loved her. I highly recommend using Ashley!! Jasper and I would give her 10 stars ⭐️ if we could 😊🐶”
About: When I was 10, I kept my tamagotchi Dalmatian alive for 2 months. If for some reason that doesn't impress you...buckle up and read on. Most of the sitter profiles on Rover claim their "Pet Care Experience" and "love for animals" began in childhood. They will use every animal interaction they've had in the past 25 years as “Pet Care Experience.” Um...no. Let's break this down. 1. You feeding Cheetos to the family of feral cats living in that field next to your Elementary School. Might have earned you a scouting badge. However, it doesn't count towards your "experience." 2. Loving animals as a kid is not something unique. Nor does it equate having "experience." Is anyone here shocked by the news that a child loves animals?? No, of course not. Ever asked a child what their favorite animal is? Only to have the answer be, "None. I hate all animals. Animals are the worst." Nope you haven't. (If you have, that child is most likely going to be a serial killer or work at a slaughter house. Proceed with caution.) Alright.. moving right along... here's a little about me: From birth to now I've had a wide range of animals. The list is long but it ends at most birds. I don’t do most birds. Well Ducks? yes. Sparrows, parrots, albatross? No, no thanks. I did have peacocks growing up and my dad owned an Ostrich farm for several years.. which is super weird. Let's move on...Don’t really do cats in my home either. For multiple reasons. Bird & cat pets aside. Im pro-pet. Hip hip!! Sidebar*** (we have a bearded dragon and a Greek Tortoise. If you have a reptile or small animal that need to be boarded or dropped in on. we would be happy to help you with that.) Like any normal pet owner, I enjoy keeping my animals alive and healthy. Not once have I tried to starve my animals or neglect them in such a way that would render them a spot on the sad commercial with the “Arms of the Angel” song playing in the background. Those owners are the worst. Lucky for you...I am not the worst! Sarcasm aside…I’ll treat your pets like I would want someone to treat my pets. I’ll accommodate their/your needs and give you peace of mind as you vacation or do time in prison. (No judgements) If your animal has medical issues, a drug or alcohol addiction, gang affiliation, is running from the law or needs special care. I got it. If I don’t got it… I’ll Google it. Chat GPT is amazing! Duh! Unless your Pekinese needs a kidney transplant or your doodle wants a face lift. I should be able to keep them happy! I walk my dogs every day, if your pet wants to join us, great. If not, great. Sleep on the bed or sleep on the floor? Again don’t care. Im good with both. Last and certainly not least… There is 1 thing I will not do. I refuse to call your dog a fur baby or any other lame name like that. Why? Because it's weird and stupid. I cringe & immediately check out of a conversation when someone starts talking about “furbabies.” I just can’t. Plus your pet doesn’t like it either. They just put up with it because you feed them. I’m a stay at home mom. While my kid is at school and I do normal homemaker things. We have some after school activities & events but for the most part we will be around. These questions….I’ll make sure to put away all of my broken glass pieces and lock the door to the room where I keep all the poisons and explosives… whatever. My house is safe, I have a yard, real safe. If you have special requests just tell me and I’ll do what you ask me to do…unless it’s weird or gross.
About: I've been around animals my whole life and started informally pet sitting as a teenager — caring for animals has always felt second nature to me. I specialize in overnight and vacation care, and I'm especially comfortable with senior dogs. When I'm caring for your pets, I stick to their normal routine as closely as possible — meals, walks, medications, and downtime on their schedule, not mine. I send updates and photos throughout the stay so you always know how things are going. My goal is for your pets to feel calm, cared for, and completely at home while you're away. Pet care is my full-time focus, not a side gig fit around another job. Since I run my own pet care business, I have the flexibility to offer consistent daily visits, extended overnight stays, and last-minute care when life happens. I provide care exclusively in your home, so your pet stays in their own familiar environment with their regular routine, food, and surroundings — no unfamiliar pets, no added stress of a new space. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, medication, and exercise, and keep to their normal schedule as much as possible. I treat your home with the same care and respect I'd want for my own, including respecting any house rules around access, cameras, and specific areas of the home. You'll get updates and photos throughout each visit or stay so you always know how things are going.

Rebecca is amazing!!! She came over before for a meet and greet and was super friendly and down to earth. It's very clear that she is an animal lover and showed a lot of care and kindness towards all of our fur babies. We highly recommend her and will for sure be reaching out for future care.

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.
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 Bixby 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 Bixby 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Bixby 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.
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.
