About: I have been caring for and watching dogs since I was a young child. Unfortunately, my husband and I are not currently able to get a dog due to the uncertainty of work schedules. Therefore, I decided that there was no better place for me than rover! I would love spending the afternoon walking, playing, hiking, or running with your dog! I have plenty of space for your dog to explore outside, or take them to mini trips to the dog park or to get a pupcup! I grew up with 3 golden retrievers, but have experience caring for pitbulls, dachshunds, boxers, red heeler, pugs, etc. I am also willing to take the time to learn the specific needs of your pet and take the extra step to build a relationship with them to give them the care they need. Please read the "cat care details" to see how I would care for your kitty friends! ☺️ I currently work part time, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I offer boarding 7 days a week and pet walking and at home visits in the afternoons after 3 pm or anytime on the weekends! I have an open yard for your dogs to run or explore. Your doggos are free to lounge on my furniture or bring their own beds & blankies to sleep on. When caring for dogs at their home, I will gladly take them on however long of a walk they're used to. (I love walking, running, and hiking).
“Trisha was great! She went above and beyond! I informed her of my dog being pregnant and she made sure to take care of her for me. She also got my timid boy to warm up to her and not bark at her the entire time! Will be booking her again. Thank you, Trisha!!”

She was very communicative and even agreed to a meet and greet and booking last minute for me! If you’re unsure if Rover is for you, don’t be and request Rachel immediately!◡̈”

“Clayton was absolutely amazing with our Great Dane and our kitten! He picked up on their personalities right away and was very attentive to each of them. We loved reading the detailed and humorous report cards that he wrote for us. He was very respectful, professional, punctual, and communicated effectively. We will absolutely be booking with him again in the future! Thanks so much Clayton, we appreciate you!”

About: Along with caring for my own dog, I have previously done odd jobs of caring for other people’s pets. This has mostly consisted of daily check-ins, taking the dog for a walk as well as feeding and playing with them. I do not have any special qualifications besides loving a good long walk and loving to play with any and every dog I meet! I have just graduated as a student athlete from OU and am working nearby. With a very flexible schedule, I look forward to long walks and furry friends! I currently live in a house in a safe, family-friendly neighborhood. My yard is fenced in and big enough to provide plenty of space for an active dog!
About: Growing up I have always had a dog. My older brother ran a dog training business on our farm after training dogs for the military. Due to this I was introduced to many different types of dogs and their personalities. Growing up he taught me the basics to training dogs and how to adapt to the dogs personality. Therefore I am able to care for all types of dogs and any of their needs. I am currently working full time; however, I am able to care for pets on weekdays anytime after 5pm. I am available 24/7 on weekends. I am able to care for any pet in any environment. Whether your pet runs free in a fenced in area or not. I also have no problem when it comes to putting pups in their crate.
“Haley did amazing watching my 3 yr old pup!! Gave him all the attention and love and even extra, including walks and keeping me updated on her stays with many pics and how he was doing. She treated him like he was her own and followed my instructions!! She is wonderful at what she does and highly recommend her to watch your fur babies!!”
About: As a previous dog owner myself, I know that dogs love attention and playing, even sometimes just want to be held. Given that I had to give my dog away due to my profession, please allow me to take care of your dog, care for it, and love it on the days you have things going on. I'm available at night on the weekends and all day on the weekends. Also if any special requests like washing or brushing are needed, I can do those too! Anything like special food, specific acitivty time, or anything of the like apply to your pet, I'm willing to abide to give your pet the best experience yet and to give piece to your mind while you go out and have fun! I do currently work full time as a civilian on base. My schedule is normally 6am-2pm, depending on what’s needed for the pet I can try my best to adapt my schedule as need be! Currently I won’t be able to house any pets in my home, my complex doesn’t allow pet sitting for my apartment unit (dogs and cats) I’m 100% okay with being able to come by and see your pet, if you’re pet is in a mobile cage I don’t mind having it inside as long as everything is provided to care for the animal (I’m thinking gerbils, hamsters, bunnies, etc.).
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since i’ve been alive! Growing up I have always been around animals and dogs! From bullies to dachshunds to great danes we’ve had them all. When my parents go out of town I am the one they rely on to take care of there four dogs and I also have two dachshunds of my own! I have potty trained, leash trained and worked on socializing them from the start! I would love to take care of other dogs the way I take care of my own! Like they are my kids! I am currently a stay at home wife that is attending college next fall! I am open everyday of the week besides holidays and some weekends! I don’t have a set schedule so majority of times works for me! I have a fenced in small yard inside my home and I take my dogs on walks constantly! My two dogs are crate trained but if your fur baby isn’t it’s no big deal! I can take your dog on walks or make sure they have enough play time in your yard at home!
“Evelyn was awesome and a great help for us! She was able to help us out last minute and was very flexible through the whole process! Would highly recommend her to any family and friends!”

In the event I am asked to care for your pet in my home I myself have 2 kittens and 2 rooms in the event that they get scared.

Allison was a wonderful dog sitter! She was reliable, communicative, and took great care of my dogs. I really appreciated the regular updates and knowing they were in good hands while I was away. She followed all instructions carefully and made sure they were happy, safe, and well cared for. I would absolutely trust Allison again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog sitter!

Brianna was great! She took wonderful care of our two dogs for six days. We will definitely book with her again. She was very kind, professional and knowledgeable with dogs. The daily notes and pictures were delight to get every day. I highly recommend booking with Brianna.
