“Shelby has pet sit for me now twice. Both times my pets are taken care of WONDERFULLY! She always leaves my house in pristine condition and keeps me updated with pictures of my fur babies each day. Definitely highly recommend her!”

About: I have lots of experience around all kinds and sizes of pets! I grew up with cats, dogs, and horses and have pet sit for families with multiple pets in the home. I worked at a wildlife rehabilitation center for multiple years so I have experience giving meds and caring for animals with special needs or health problems. I’d love the opportunity to set up a time to chat and see if I’d be a good fit for you and your pet(s)! I’m finishing up my last class at OU so I have a very flexible schedule and could be present for most of the day. I’m comfortable doing whatever is needed to keep your fur baby happy and healthy. I have experience taking multiple dogs on a walk, feeding on a schedule, letting them out, I can do it all!

“Cheyenne was so sweet to the dogs. She came for a meet and greet, and was immediately sitting on the floor petting them. I couldn’t even get her to choose a favorite of our three… she said she loved them all! And I gotta say, one of the nights she stayed here, there was a tornado or something, and she handled it really well!! Will be booking again.”

About: I’ve taken care of a variety of animals since I was 10 years old. I worked on my aunt’s ranch where I cared for a variety of animals including dogs and cats. I also have a lot of experience with dogs since I showed my dog in 4H and won several awards. I love animals of all shapes and sizes so I’m sure I will be a perfect fit for your furry friend. I care for my pets every morning and every night. During three of the weekdays, I have class but I return home right after to spend time with them and get them exercise. I carry dog treats with me when doing visits to help the dogs feel more comfortable. I also enjoy taking long walks with dogs to keep them entertained. I am particularly fond of cats, as they are my favorite animal. I have four cats myself, and I think cats are truly precious. I love taking care of animals. My apartment complex features a significant amount of green space and a dog park. In my apartment, there are dog toys, cat toys, cat trees, and three different pet water fountains.

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)

“Alex was great with fletcher! He’s prompt with communicating and sent us multiple pictures every day we were gone. He was great with her as she can be a little wary of strangers at first but they became fast friends. We will definitely use alex again”

Alysa R.

“Loretta was amazing! Fortunately she was able to take care of Poupon last minute when our previous center cancelled a day before my trip. She was very communicative and Poupon loved her from the first time she met her. She updated us everyday and really knew how to take care of our cat. Our house was clean when we got back and all the instructions were followed. Poupon was well taken care of and would definitely have her house sit again. She’s the most trustworthy sitter we’ve had and also the most easy to talk to.”

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a ranch and have cared for dogs, cats, reptiles, and other animals throughout my life. As a kid, I regularly helped neighbors by feeding, walking, and playing with their dogs while they were at work or out of town. In high school, I also volunteered at the Oklahoma City Humane Society, where I gained experience working with animals of all ages and personalities. I currently have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for them. Whether your fur baby needs a walk, playtime, or company while you’re away, I’ll treat them like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for! I’m currently a student at the University of Oklahoma, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week. Most days, I’m available in the early mornings and again in the late afternoons and evenings. During the summer, my schedule is especially open. I’m committed to being reliable, responsive, and making sure your pet gets the care and attention they deserve! I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs. My priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, medications, playtime, or special care. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and in good hands!!

About: Ever since I was little I have had a passion for caring and loving animals! When I was just 13 years old, I started my own pet sitting company and I’ve been doing it ever since. I have taken care of very old and injured dogs as well as newborn puppies. I love them all:) I am currently in college and have a very flexible schedule. The only time I have class is MWF from 10am-3pm. Tuesdays and Thursdays no class! I like for the animals to be inside with me, when I am out or inside the house. If I let them out, I like to be outside watching them most of the times. They are always welcome to be inside with me whenever they want.

About: I started volunteering at veterinary clinics in middle school because I’ve always had such a big heart for serving and caring for animals. I rescued my terrier/lab mix as a puppy, and she is very lovable and fully convinced she’s human. I’ve also grown up caring for very large family dogs, from Great Pyrenees and pit bulls to golden retrievers, so I truly love pets of all shapes, sizes, and energy levels! I also have experience caring for cats, birds, guinea pigs, and other pets through both personal experience and helping family and friends with their animals. As a recent OU graduate and former collegiate cheerleader, I’m dependable, active, and love giving pets lots of attention, care, playtime, and exercise. I’ll always treat your pets like they’re my own! During the summer, I’ll be dedicating my time, energy, and lots of love to caring for your pets! I recently graduated from OU, so before starting my full-time career, I’m excited to spend my days giving pets the attention, playtime, exercise, and care they deserve. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to be dependable, attentive, and fully present for your pets throughout the day. I live in a very safe, pet-friendly environment with access to a dog park, walking trails, and a spacious, cozy interior where pets can relax, play, and feel comfortable. At the same time, I know pets feel most secure in familiar spaces, so whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours, my goal is always to create a loving, calm, and trustworthy environment where they feel safe, happy, and cared for like family.

About: Grew-up around dogs and looking after neighbors/friends’ pets! Have had experience taking care of both puppies and senior dogs; small and larger breeds. I am comfortable and familiar with a wide range of dog behaviors (e.g. energetic, skittish, chill, anxious, etc.) And I absolutely love to be outside walking and/or running with them, so I can exercise your energetic pup in addition to sitting. Can do some easy, unofficial training if desired - sit, stay, lay down, leash-walking, etc. Can administer oral or topical medication. Additionally, I am a college student so my hours are a bit more flexible! Especially during the summertime. Currently working only part-time (Tues/Thurs), so my hours are pretty flexible and open. I cannot currently board pets in my own home but am more than happy to do multiple check-ins, walks, play dates, etc. a day for however long your pup needs to thrive and feel happy, healthy, and safe. I am extremely clean, dependable, and understand that the rules and expectations you have of me for your precious pet always come first! All pets, homes, and clients are treated with the utmost kindness and respect. Again, your rules/expectations are of utmost importance to me when checking-in on, playing with, and walking your dog. I am diligent in their specific feeding, potty, and exercise routines, as well as to their safety (taking caution that all gates/doors are shut or when walking in new areas, etc.).

“We couldn’t be happier with the care Ava provided our dog! We received regular updates and photos. Our dog was well taken care of and comfortable with Ava. Ava arrived promptly and stayed making sure we were close before leaving because she was aware that our dog is afraid of storms. We will be booking again with Ava. Our pup will be happy to see her. Ava is a welcome guest.”

About: I have over 4 years of hands-on pet care experience, along with growing up with my own pets, which taught me responsibility, patience, and the importance of loving, consistent care.

I treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently I student at the university of Oklahoma and don’t have class on Tuesday or Thursday. I’m available for boarding on the weekends and after 6 on Monday and Wednesday.

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.

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've always loved animals and have been around dogs my whole life. I have an elderly dog, Shiloh, who I've had since he was a puppy, so I've experienced everything from training and puppy care to caring for a senior dog as he's gotten older. We also have another dog, Willow, that's just a few years younger than him, and I've helped train and care for her as well. For the past 10 years, I've helped friends, family, and neighbors by pet sitting, dog walking, and caring for their pets while they're away. I've worked with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each pet unique. As a student-athlete, I'm responsible, dependable, and great at managing my time. I know pets are family, and I'll treat yours like they're my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away, and I'll always keep you updated with photos and messages. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I've grown up helping care for animals and currently help care for my own dogs (and gecko). During the summer, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and overnight stays. During the school year, I balance classes and volleyball, so my schedule can be a little busier, especially during the season and when traveling. However, I plan my schedule carefully and only accept bookings that I know I can fully commit to. When I'm caring for a pet, I make sure they receive the attention, exercise, love, and consistency they deserve. Whether it's a walk, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making them feel comfortable while their owners are away. When caring for your pet, my goal is to make them feel as comfortable and loved as possible while you're away. I know how important our pets are, and I would treat yours like they're part of my own family. I'll follow your pet's normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medications, and any special instructions. Beyond the basics, I make it a priority to spend quality time with them through playtime, cuddles, exercise, or simply keeping them company, depending on what they enjoy most. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal, so I'll provide regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter environment, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for until you return.

“Yukie did a wonderful job loving on Shiloh while I was out of town for a couple days. Great updates and pics thru out the day. I felt very comfortable having Yukie in my home. Yukie is a sweetheart!”
