About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, I bring a combination of genuine love for animals, practical knowledge, and formal dog-training experience. I've participated in obedience training with my own dogs and continued developing my skills through local dog-training programs and hands-on experience with other dogs. What sets my care apart is my ability to recognize individual personalities, understand animal behavior, and maintain consistency in each pet's established routine. - Training & Positive Reinforcement: I incorporate positive reinforcement and basic obedience into everyday care, helping maintain good habits and consistency while you're away. - Understanding Behavior: I'm comfortable recognizing canine body language and responding appropriately to anxiety, leash reactivity, unfamiliar situations, and interactions with other animals. - Personalized Care: From energetic puppies to senior pets, I adapt to individual temperaments, routines, feeding schedules, and medication needs. - Reliable, Attentive Care: Pets deserve patience, companionship, consistency, and attention—not just someone checking off a feeding schedule. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pets. I treat every animal as an individual and every home with respect. You're not just hiring a pet sitter. You're trusting someone with over two decades of experience, a genuine understanding of animals, and a commitment to making your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My schedule is currently very flexible, allowing me to accommodate a variety of pet-care needs, including daytime visits, drop-ins, walks, and overnight stays. I can work around your pet's routine and provide dependable, attentive care when you need it most. My In-Home Care Commitment My service guarantees peace of mind through structured care and transparent communication: • Routine Stability: I meticulously adhere to your pet's schedule (feeding, walks, medication) to minimize stress and maintain their home comfort. (Weather permitting) • Proactive Safety: I establish detailed emergency protocols and use my experience to anticipate pet needs, ensuring they are safe and comfortable in their own home. • High-Touch Communication: I provide regular, detailed updates with photos and giving you a tangible connection to their happiness. In short, I offer more than just companionship; I provide professional stability, calm handling, and over 20 years of trusted assurance.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats of all kinds for the past 6 years and have always had a love for animals. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets, including feeding, walking, playing with, and checking in on them. I’m responsible, organized, dependable, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs and routine. I understand how important it is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m happy to provide updates and pictures so you can feel confident that your furry family member is in good hands. I will treat your dog like my own and make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and affection! I am a full-time student, so my schedule is flexible in the afternoons, evenings, and early mornings. I am unavailable on Wednesdays, and my weekend availability varies depending on the week. I am happy to communicate and work together to find a schedule that works best for both of us! I will make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I am happy to follow your pet’s specific routines, feeding schedules, and any special instructions. I can also crate your dog if needed and will always prioritize their safety and well-being. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I will keep you updated and communicate throughout their stay!
About: I love dogs and all kinds of animals! I have always had dogs in my home from young to seniors so I am very good at taking care of them! I am a full time student but on Monday/Wednesday/ Friday I am free after 12:15 and Tuesday/Thursday I am free before 1pm and after 3pm! My dog at home is still kind of a younger puppy but he is trained. I can easily crate dogs but I am very good at watching over them!
“Thank you Kylie, you came over last minute and were a lifesaver helping me with Winnie while I’m on vacation! She was easy to work with and had great communication. The pictures and videos you sent eased my mind, and it’s easy to tell Winnie clearly loved you. I will absolutely be booking you again - so glad I’ve finally found a stable sitter for my baby for the future. Couldn’t ask for anything more. Will highly recommend her professional service to others. Thanks again!”
About: I’m a firefighter, lifelong dog lover, and avid sports fan with years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I grew up in a home that always had four or more dogs, which gave me a strong foundation in understanding their needs, behaviors, and quirks. During high school, I also volunteered for two years at the Oklahoma City Animal Shelter, where I gained valuable experience working with a wide variety of breeds. From tiny 5-pound Chihuahuas with big personalities to gentle 150-pound Akitas, I’m comfortable handling dogs of all temperaments and energy levels. I take pride in providing attentive, reliable, and compassionate care tailored to each dog. You can count on me to treat your dog like family keeping them safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m a firefighter, and my schedule is very open,I only work Sundays and Mondays, plus one Saturday night each month. That gives me plenty of flexibility and availability throughout the week to provide reliable, attentive care for your pet. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or just keeping your best friend company, I’ll be there whenever needed to make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I know that every dog has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to follow your instructions closely. From feeding schedules and walks to playtime, medications, and bedtime routines. My goal is to keep your pet comfortable by maintaining the routine they’re used to while giving them plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, you’ll have peace of mind knowing they’re in a safe, clean, and loving environment. I also provide regular photo and video updates, so you can see how your best friend is doing while you’re away. I understand how important trust is when choosing someone to care for your pet, and I strive to make every dog feel happy, secure, and loved until you’re back home.
About: I have had dogs for as long as I can remember and love all dogs and all their unique personalties. I love going on walk and just playing outside. I am in college, but have plenty of time to take care of pets with my flexible schedule. I have a dog of my own at home and do not struggle at all to meet his needs. I have a pet of my own, but my lease does not allow any other pets to be in the house. So I will not be able to board dogs at my personal house.
“Olivia did a great job watching our 3 cats while we were gone for a week. She gave very detailed updates and plenty of pictures. Our cats got lots of play time with Olivia and even a treat each day. She was very caring and attentive, letting us know when one of our cats had a hairball and when an animal was getting into our outdoor plants. We will definitely be booking with Olivia again next time we need someone to watch our cats!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 745 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Criner. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Criner. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
