“I loved having Anna watch my kittens! She sent updates and really understood my pet anxiety! I have a specific way I give them their supplements and meds in the morning and she followed everything to a tee! I’d recommend her and definitely will rebook!”
About: Hi, I’m Jordyn. I am 26 years old with an Bachelor of Science degree. I have a passion of caring for animals. I have 1 dog named Leo, he is an American Staffordshire Pitbull. I’ve had him since 2020 when he was 3 months old. I have been dog sitting for 6 years now. I have experience working in a dog daycare for 3 years. My additional duties working in a dog daycare involved keeping the kennels clean of waste, dog fur, stray food and water, and other material that keep dogs from being comfortable away from their owners. I enjoy being able to play and have fun with dogs. While walking your dog I will make sure he/she stays dehydrated throughout the summer/winter. Feel free to contact me about any questions you have or concerns and times that I am available to care. Thank you! Feeding: Start the day by feeding pets according to their specific dietary needs and specific feeding times through out the day. Exercise: Take dogs for a morning/afternoon walk or engage them in playtime. 1. Feeding: Ensure pets are fed according to their specific dietary needs. Provide fresh water daily. 2. Exercise: Take dogs for regular walks or play with them to keep them active. For cats, engage them with toys or provide space for climbing and exploration. 3. Safe Environment: Remove any hazards from the home, such as toxic plants, chemicals, or small objects that could be swallowed. 4. Attention and Affection: Spend quality time with pets to meet their social needs. This can include petting, playing, or simply sitting together. 5. Follow Client Instructions: Adhere to any specific care instructions provided by the pet owner, including feeding schedules and preferences. 6. Communication: Maintain open communication with clients about their pet’s well-being and any concerns that arise.
“Julianna was absolutely amazing! She was very communicative and let us know how our dogs were doing everyday. She looked after them and played with them so much. The dogs seemed very happy when we got back home, I would definitely use her again!”
“Christen was amazing with my pets! She sent me updates at least three times a day for house sitting. I appreciate her professionalism, communication, and love for animals. Will be booking again!!”
About: Hello! my name is Irene and i live in nw okc, I have always had a love for animals which turned into me furthering a career as a veterinary assistant in 2021-2023. i have expierence with dogs, cats, senior pets, exotics and pets with special needs! I am confident in my experience with fearfull/reactive pets and my ability to know their body language and their boundaries. I found my passion in cosmetology in 2023 and have worked as a hairstylist in midtown okc since, but have stayed true to my animal roots by petsitting for about 3 years now! i also love to be active so im glad to give your high energy pet the love he/she deserves. My goal is to make you and your pet/pets comfortable during your time away🫶 I currently work as a hairstylist where i make my own schedule and can accommodate accordingly! my typical petsitting routine for drop ins is am and pm drop ins with a feed and play/walk as well as checking in on any messes! i am able to add a mid day check in if applicable on case by case basis! for overnight stays I would stay the night with your pet, go to work in the morning after pet duties and return after work to resume pet duties! and on my days off from the salon i would hang out with your pet for longer. I pride myself on communicating, I know how stressful it is to have a stranger watching your pet and i will go above and beyond to make you and your pet feel safe in my hands. ill send updates and pictures, care for your pets and home as if they were my own, as well as asking plenty of questions so i can make you and your pet as comfortable as possible!
“We couldn't be more thrilled with the care Diana provided for our golden retriever, Goose! From the moment we dropped him off at her home, we felt completely at ease. Diana went above and beyond to keep us updated with tons of adorable pictures and videos of Goose playing with her other dogs, which really put our minds at rest while we were away. She was so thoughtful, even sending us home with some homemade dog treats, which was such a sweet touch! Diana was incredibly flexible and understanding, accommodating our last-minute changes with ease. It’s clear she truly loves dogs, and Goose had a blast with her and her pups. We wholeheartedly recommend her and will definitely be trusting her with Goose again in the future!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 8 years old and have years of hands-on experience through rescue work and supporting dogs of all backgrounds. I have knowledge in basic training and puppy guidance, and I bring patience, consistency, and genuine care to every dog I work with. I truly love dogs and have a strong desire to help in any way I can—whether that means extra walks, calm reassurance, or positive reinforcement. Your pup will be treated with the same love, attention, and respect I give my own. I’m an hairdresser so my schedule is VERY flexible allowing time for walks, check-ins, and attentive care. Your pets will always receive plenty of time, attention, and love in my schedule. I care for every pet as if they were my own, always prioritizing their comfort, safety, and routine. In my home or a client’s home, I follow your pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest to help them feel secure and relaxed. I use positive reinforcement and gentle handling, especially for puppies or dogs who may need extra patience or structure. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, while also respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. I’m attentive to behavior, energy levels, and any special needs, and I keep owners updated so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I’ve always been a big dog lover! I have worked as a kennel technician between 2021-2024 and the experience was amazing. To add I also have a senior (12) and a middle age dog (7) of my own. I love to take care of them. I am working full time Monday-Thursday with the availability of free evenings. I am fully available Friday-Sunday for dog walking and/or dog-sitting. I currently live in an apartment with two reactive pets. I would prefer to dog-sit as it would be safer for all pets. I am always gauging unbelonging behavior amongst my dogs.
“Nick took care of our home and our dogs with very short notice. He took great care of everything. I would definitely recommend and will be happy to have him look after everything again.”
“I read a review saying Tianna once stepped in to fix a logistical nightmare and she did the same for us! We had to cancel our original sitter last minute because we didn’t want our dogs kenneled all day. After a quick FaceTime, Tianna totally understood their routine and came right after work to stay with them. She was patient, caring, and kept us updated the whole time. Our dogs felt comfortable right away, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She’s the first person outside of family we’ve trusted to watch them, and we’ll definitely be booking her again!”
About: Hello! My name is Carrie, please allow me to introduce myself and explain to you why I quit my Monday through Friday 9 to 5 job. The short answer is simply because I love animals and from a very young age I wanted to work with animals and I wanted to help them. My passion has always been about helping animals so I helped anyway I could. I first started out working at a Pet Grooming Salon and there I bathed the animals, it was an awesome learning experience and I loved it! I am a firm believer that things only set in motion when it's time for them to happen, I tried to force my dreams into happening sooner and it never worked but I still wanted to find a way to help, even if it wasn't this big dream I had envisioned. I reached out to ASPCA, I participated in fundraisers for the Bella SPCA Foundation, I have rescued a few cats over the years and I began pet sitting for my family and friends and anyone who I could get my name out to and all the while working at a job that I was good at but it never fed my soul. "There is the most dangerous risk of all, the risk of not doing what you love, on the bet that you can buy yourself the freedom to do it later." This year my dream set in motion and I became in a position where I can focus on a Career working with animals full time. I do have two cats of my own; I have a 13 y/o Tuxedo cat, her name is Peaches Mari and I have a 2 y/o cat named Neko Lilo. I rescued Neko when she was 6 weeks old. Peaches and Neko are polar opposites but they love each other. I will love and care for your pet as much as I do my two cats, they're not "just a pet," they're my family. I cater to my cats, some may say they're spoiled but I like to think they're loved. I want your cat or dog to feel loved, safe and happy when I care for them. I am available for your temporary and permanent needs. I have committed to making this a full time Career. I am available to you whenever I'm needed, whether it be for your temporary or permanent needs. I currently live in a rent house and eventually I hope to have a space available to board at my future home but until then I'll be able to take care of your fur babies in their own safe space. I offer drop in visits and walking as well. I can ensure you that I will leave your home just as it was and I will check that all your doors are closed and locked before I leave each time. When I do drop in visits at your home I will feed them and make sure they have plenty of water. I will let them outside to potty or I will walk them; I will clean litter boxes too and I will clean up any messes that are made. You can be comfortable knowing they will receive all the love, attention and care while they're with me and please let me know if your animal has any special needs, out of the normal care, that will need to be met while they're in my care. I have training in CPR/First Aid and I can administer oral medications. I invest 100 percent of my spare time into Rover, I no longer have a 9 to 5 job; so I am available for any drop in visits or walks that you may need. I am very flexible with your schedule. I will care for them, in your home, however you need. I like to keep them on their original schedules as much as possible, so I will do everything you would normally do for them.
“She has a calm demeanor she’s sensible she’s very perfect. She’s on time she’s dependable and she’s trustworthy. I’m proud to have met her. She’s wonderful and I love her. Thank you for taking care of my family. Appreciate it. Hopefully, we see you soon.”
“Brittany was great with our 3 dogs! We have one dog who is very nervous around people and Brittany was able to get her to come out of her shell and help her be comfortable in her own home! This made me VERY happy and we will MOST DEFINITELY be using her again!!”
“Aiden did fantastic with our pups' second ever extended stay with a sitter. Aiden was attentive, took great care of our home and pups, and was sure to provide us with frequent updates. Highly recommend!”
“Couldnt be happier with Grace. She was a great communicator, always sending pictures and updates. I felt super comfortable with her taking care of my pup throughout my whole trip. I’ll definitely be coming back to her for future pup needs!”
“Reyna was wonderful to work with-great at communicating, kept us updated with pictures during her stay, and took great care of our house and dog. We’ve already booked her again for another trip ☺️”
“Erin is absolutely amazing. She not only took great care of my pups. She was an excellent house guest. I think she lift my house cleaner than I left it. :) She communicated on a regular basis and sent pictures and videos consistently. I never worried nor wondered how my pups were doing. I will hire her again FOR SURE!”
“She’s marvelous she’s awesome. She’s honest she’s on time. She’s perfect very kind person just beyond my belief. God is good that he sent such a wonderful person to me thank you thank you (Rover) thank you God thank you everyone and thank you Miss Haley.”

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 Lake Aluma 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 Lake Aluma 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 Lake Aluma 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 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.
