My family and I were going to Universal Studios for 2 days…tickets bought, pet sitter confirmed. Then Mother Nature dropped a winter storm and our pet sitter was stuck in Texas. GABRIEL CAME THROUGH in the clutch! Not only did he agree to watch my baby, Simba, literally the next 2 days, but he was sooo accommodating! Gabriel sent pictures throughout both days…walks ✔️ naps ✔️ snuggling ✔️ Simba came home happy & tired both days! I can’t thank Gabriel enough for the last minute assist and for taking such good care of Simba! ??

Josephine was wonderful with our two Maltese and boxer, we got regular photos and they got their medications. The dogs seemed happy when I picked them up after their 4 day stay, thanks you so much!

Fudge had an absolute blast! I would recommend Jamey to anyone, I loved getting all the updates and hearing about his day when picked up. He also was very tired when coming home which only shows just how much fun he had!

About: My motto is that it's my responsibility to make sure that each dog feels the most comfortable, loved, and most importantly safe in the short time I have them. Every day that I'm with your pup, I keep that motto at the forefront of my mind. I know how important dogs are to our lives, so it's my duty to make sure that your pup gets to experience the same kind of love and care that they're used to at home. I'm an out of state college student who has three larger dog breeds at home that I miss so much. And I’ve grown up around dogs all my life so making pups as happy as I can and taking care of them just come second nature for me! Although I've been a lifelong dog lover, my experience with pups is much more far-reaching than that. I recently have over 2 years of volunteering experience at a no-kill animal shelter called “City of Norman Animal Welfare” and I’m hoping to take my lived experience and activism with animals into a summer job. I've worked with dogs big and small and loved taken care of all of them equally. I've also been trained in Pet First Aid and am experienced administering medication. When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It's a great way to make sure that we're all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup, their needs, and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it's always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pup tick! Finally, I just love meeting new dogs!! like to get down on their level to show them that I'm a welcome presence here to make friends, and I'm sure we'll be best buddies in no time at all. I know how difficult it is to be away from your best friend, so communication is the name of my game. I'll make sure to send plenty of regular updates with accompanying pictures so you can see just how much fun your pup and I are having together <3 Note: Might do cats in the future, but as I’ve gotten older I’ve grown allergic so Benadryl is a must. I am currently working an internship at a museum with very flexable hours for the summer giving me lots of time to play and walk your pups! With the internship I just need to work 12 hours a week but can come and go from the museum as I like and can take an hour off for lunch, work only 2 days a week, only work early mornings, it is truely amazing having such an independent schedule, which is why I thought dog sitting & walking would be a great idea. Would love to do boarding/doggy daycare, like I said in my bio, I miss my dogs at home so much so giving some weekend love to yours won’t be a problem. But I do live in an apartment and having any animal for longer than a week without having them registered with the building would be against my lease, so I cannot do super long sleepovers :( My entire apartment complex is fenced in but because theres other people they would be on a leash, but theres PLENTY of grass to go potty and frolic. We also have a large yard in the center of the apartment complex where they can run and stretch their legs off leash. While all dogs are outside on or off leash they will NEVER leave my sight regardless of have a history of running away or not. Love playing fetch with dogs and rewarding good behavoir with lots of treats. (Dietary concerns considered) I drive a toyota highlander SUV with plenty of space for transporting your pups and making sure they’re secure and totally safe. Just like watching your dogs transporting them should be done with the utmost care and I have a squeaky clean drivng record. I currently do not have a crate at my apartment, but dogs generally feel most comfortable in their own bedding especially in a new unfamilar environment, if you’d allow me to bring it from your home and return it with your pet. There’s plenty of space in the apartment, but I’d only sit about three large dogs at a time to allow plenty of playtime space or incase they get the zoomies. Dog beds or crates can be in the livingroom or my bedroom wherever your pet is most comfortable sleeping. I am also comfortable washing dogs after having multiple sessions with them to gauge temperment. A lot of dogs get anxious with baths and I am more then comfortable handling that and have multiple times in the past, but I do not need to put myself in harms way dealing with aggressive untrained dogs. Nonetheless I understand that for a lot of middle aged dog parents bathing dogs is tedious and can hurt your back, so I am happy to provide a clean pup for an additional tip! (Skin concerns considered with products used)

About: I specialize in accepting single boardings at my home as well as short and long stays in your home. I stay day and night thru out. I’m a full-time professional sitter, and when I commit to your pets and your home, I’m all in. I don’t just swing by to scoop food and dash — I stay overnight, follow your routines, and make sure your pets feel calm, safe, and genuinely cared for the entire time you’re away. They get love, attention, and consistency — and you get real peace of mind. This isn’t a gig to me. It’s what I do. And I do it with heart. I have plenty of experience with large breeds — the kind that some sitters might shy away from. I don’t breed discriminate, and I know that “big” doesn’t mean “bad.” In fact, some of my most loyal cuddle buddies have outweighed me! I absolutely adore the pitties, rotties, and other gentle giants — they’ve got big heads, big hearts, and a soft spot in mine. That said, I do prioritize safety — for everyone involved. I’m confident, calm, and respectful in my approach, and I appreciate open, honest communication about your pet’s temperament, routines, and needs. I know it’s a big deal to trust someone with your fur babies and your home. I take that trust seriously. I treat your space with care, keep things clean and secure, and most importantly, Your pets will feel seen, safe, and loved. Whether your dog needs someone to curl up with at night or your cat needs their routine followed to the letter, I’m here for it. I’ll meet them where they are — playful, shy, anxious, spoiled, senior, or sassy. My goal is simple: when you walk back through that door, your pets are relaxed, happy, and barely noticed you left. I dedicate my entire schedule to caring for animals, which means your pet gets my full attention, flexibility, and consistent care. Being in their familiar space dramatically reduces the stress and trauma that new surroundings can trigger. I look at it like their very own staycation! My goal is to keep your pets in their normal routine while focusing on safe, stimulating and loving care. All the while providing you with peace of mind. I take great pride in my integrity — it’s non-negotiable. Doing the right thing, even when no one’s watching, isn’t just a value; it’s how I operate every day. You, your babies, and your home deserve nothing less than my full commitment and care.

Could not have chosen a better sitter for our two little dogs. They do not adjust easily or quickly to new people or places. Yet, within half an hour we received photos of them just as happy and at home with Tiffany. We are so fortunate to have found her.

About: Hi there, my name is Alex and I am a middle school teacher. I live in Moore, OK, and I have summers off, so I have more than enough time to spend with and take care of your pups! I am originally from Texas, where I grew up with my two labs, Harley and Charlie. I have 2 years of experience in house and dog-sitting, including transportation between doggie clinics/hotels and home! I’m happy to provide a background check as well as a motor vehicle report upon further inquiry. I am so looking forward to meeting with you and your pups! I am currently on summer vacation, and besides three nights of graduate classes each week, I am able to commit much of my time to playing with and caring for your pup! Whether from my home or yours, your pup will be loved on and given the most attention while you are away! I live in an apartment complex off-campus that is very pet-friendly. I do not have any animals living with me. However there is a doggie park included in the amenities and plenty of walking space.

About: Hello dog parents! We know how it feels to go on vacation and worry about where to leave your dog. Rest assured that we will take great care of your pet so please don't worry and enjoy your vacation !!! We are a dog loving family that live in a single family house with our very friendly Golden doodle girl. We live in a 1 acre lot so rest assure, your pups will have plenty of space to roam around I work from home so I get to spend all day with your dog; our daily routines vary between, playing at local dog parks, local trails or walking around our neighborhood. Once the kids get back from school they will play non-stop, snuggle and tend to all our guest dogs. Rest assured our home is a wonderful place to raise our puppy and care for other canine pals. Why we love dog sitting My wife and myself are both animal lovers and grew up with dogs. Most of our adult lives we either lived or cared for other people's pets. I've owned all types of breeds for more than 15 years. My history ranges from small dogs like yorkies and french poodles, to bigger sizes like alaskan malmute and shepherds. Our kids are picking up after our love to dogs and really enjoy helping us with taking care of pups. Wether it's feeding them, walking them or just snuggling, they will take care of your pups and make them feel part of our family! About our space We have a very large 1 acre fenced in back yard where pups are free to explore, play and roam around as they please during the day. We have plenty of space indoors for your pet to sleep either on a comfy dog bed, on a cool floor, on fluffy carpet, or a private dog crate; all dogs will sleep indoors. My experience administering medication Yes, both oral or injected. *Please Note: We ask for all DROP OFFs be between 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm and all PICK UP's be between 9:00 am - 11:00 am. Please plan accordingly. This may require you to request an extra day to fit these hours. Thank you.* **We also ask for your dog to be housebroken before they can stay with us.** Usually we go for a long walk around the neighborhood in the morning and then go to one in the early evening. We usually let the dogs roam around the yard for a few hours but they are also welcome to stay indoors if they prefer. We have a one acre fenced in yard where your pupss are free to roam around. We leave in a gated community with a nice path along the lake where we take our daiily walks. I work from home and are constantly looking after the pups needs.

Norma and her family are beyond 5 stars. We needed a sitter for our young puppy and it was our first time to leave her with someone. We felt like new parents leaving their child, but she put our minds at ease by sending pictures of our baby throughout the stay.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Criner

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 252 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Criner. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Criner commute.

If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.

Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.

A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.

Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:

  • For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
  • For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
  • For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.

Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in OK ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 252 sitters in Criner, 93% respond to messages in under an hour.

You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.

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.
