House Sitting Langston

About: I have trained my two Australian Shepherds to complete nationally in AKC agility. My dog Maggie has been ranked as the number one freshman all American dog in the Winter 2023 agility season. I also have experience with puppies and toy breeds. I have a chihuahua. My family raises AQUA quarter horses, and I have years of farm and ranch experience. I have raised many orphaned kittens and I understand cats. Pet care is my priority. I wake up in the morning interacting with animals and I continue to provide for both cats and dogs throughout the day. I usually feed after the dogs relieve themselves and then I will also feed cats. I then check water dishes and clean up any messes or cat litter. Then I interact with the pets and check their well-being. In the client’s home I follow all of their rules and take photos of their pets. I own my home. I have a fenced yard, and crates.

About: I have watch friends and family’s dogs as well as on Rover for over 10 years. I love all the floofy dogs and love going on long walks and going to the dog park. Your furry friend will be in great hands with Kaia (my baby) and I. I am currently not working and have all the time in the world to watch your sweet pup. I have availability currently 24/7 to watch your family pet closely. I would treat your dog like they are part of the family. Kaia is truly my firstborn and she is more than spoiled. She loves activity so we will go for all the walks and play fetch or hide and seek.

About: I have been pet and house sitting for friends and family since I was 16 years old. I love animals (sometimes more than people). I can take care of all different types of needs that your beloved pet might have. Long walks, baths, morning and night time routines, special diets, etc. I have even taken care of a dog with diabetes before. I do not have much experience with other animals but I am a quick learner. I would love to take care of any pet you may have. I am a full time student at Oklahoma State University and I have a part time job that I work as well. I wouldn’t be gone from my house or yours any longer than the hours that would consist in a normal work or school day. I’m not normally gone that long but that is the longest I would be gone in a day. I have a pretty open schedule for the most part because a few of my classes are online. I don’t have any pets at home anymore. Sadly my childhood dogs passed away this summer and while I am not ready to get my own dog yet I still love taking care of animals! I kept a lot of their old things so I have plenty of toys, dog beds, and blankets that your animal would be welcome to use. I also have a dog door and fenced backyard that is available for use as well. The dog door can be shut or left open depending on what works best for your animal.

“Sierra is wonderful! I can't recommend her enough. Will definitely use again.”

“Vanessa does amazing with my high energy, anxious husky! He’s a lot to handle but she makes it look easy. She house sat for a week and when I came home he was the least anxious I’ve ever seen. Vanessa is dependable, kind and a hard worker. Highly recommend!”

“Linda took care of our dog, Wally, over a long weekend at our home. She was very attentive and made sure he was well cared for. She also left our home in great shape!”

About: I have lots of experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I’ve raised and cared for my own dogs for many years; and have also sat and helped train the pets of friends and relatives. I currently have two dogs of my own, who I have owned and trained since they were puppies. So no matter the size or age, I am prepared to direct my full attention to loving and caring for your doggy! I am a recently graduated student who will be going back to school after the summer is over. I can shape my schedule very freely so I can care for pets at whatever time works best for you! I live on a well fenced and neatly kept three acre property just outside of Stillwater. I have two male dogs: a Black Lab named Ollie, and an Ozzie named Blue. Both of which can keep your pup company, as they are very friendly, laid back, and get along great with other dogs. Since I already have dogs that live with me, my home has all the amenities necessary to care for them!

About: I have been around dogs my whole life !! I currently have two dogs of my own as well. I do some dog training. Sit, stay, lay, shake, crate training, and potty training. I work full time however I get two breaks and only work Monday-Thursday. I work from 8-5 and take a break at 1130 and 2:30. I live in a house and have a closed in fence. I take my dogs for a walk or run every day and will play fetch or tug of war with them in the yard. The dogs get lots of outside time and my girls love having new friends to play with! A kennel is not required but I do ask if you have one to bring it. Since we have our own dogs and also board more than one dog we put them up in the kennel when going to sleep at night.

About: From fur to feathers to scales, I have years of hands on animal care experience through personal pet care and professional wildlife hospital and zoo work. I’m currently a wildlife biology graduate student at OSU, and my background has made me very comfortable observing animal behavior, following detailed care routines, and noticing small changes in an animal’s comfort or health. What sets me apart is my reliability, patience, and attention to detail. I’m comfortable caring for active dogs, shy pets, and animals that need a calm, consistent routine. I’m happy to follow specific feeding, walking, medication, or enrichment instructions and will always keep owners updated while they’re away. Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine because my schedule as a graduate student is flexible and varies by day. I’m often able to offer morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on my class, lab, and fieldwork schedule. I’m happy to coordinate with owners ahead of time to make sure their pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible. I’m especially available for drop in visits, dog walks, and house sitting, and I’m comfortable building pet care around feeding schedules, medication times, walks, playtime, and regular check ins. Safety and trust are very important to me, and I always want pets and owners to feel comfortable. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding routines, medication, walking preferences, crate use, litter box care, and any house rules. I make sure doors, gates, crates, and leashes are secure, and I always double check that pets are safe before I leave. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level, especially with shy, nervous, or high energy animals. I’m patient and will never force interaction if a pet needs space. I’m also happy to send regular updates, photos, and notes so owners know how their pet is doing while they’re away. For walks and drop ins, I prioritize safe handling, secure leashing, and following each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible.

About: I have my own dog and cats, so I’m used to different personalities and energy levels. I’m reliable, patient, and make sure your pet is safe and cared for while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to check in, do walks, and spend quality time with pets throughout the day, evening and overnight! I care for pets based on what they’re used to. I follow their routine, make sure they’re fed, exercised, and comfortable, and give them attention based on their personality. I treat them like my own and keep you updated.

“First time using Rover or any dog sitting service and we are very happy. Robert was great with our 3 dogs and respectful of our home. Will definitely use him again in the future.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole live I also moved out to the country and owned chickens, ducks, horses as well as trained my own and would also take care of other peoples farm animals when they went on trips. I worked at a vet clinic as a kennel tech to first start off my dog career before I got certified as a dog trainer.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all breeds and temperaments since I was very young. With over 12 years of experience, I’ve become the pet sitter for my neighbors, friends, and family. I specialize in walking, feeding, bathing, and giving lots of love and attention. I’m also comfortable caring for senior dogs and puppies, and I always aim to make every pet feel safe, happy, and at home. I am a student at OU so I usually have a lot of free time in Norman. I usually spend the night at my house as well and wake up sometimes during the night to let my dog out. I have an open back yard but I can walk the pets on a leash if needed. My own dog is very old and kind and loves company. I always have a leash in my car and a water bowl just in case.

About: Lifelong experience with dogs and cats, including regular pet sitting for my brother’s two dogs and my grandmas pets. I’ve fostered kittens, volunteered at animal shelters, and cared for pets of various ages, temperaments, and needs. Comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and maintaining daily routines. Reliable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual care. I am currently working as a dental assistant and working a few shifts on the weekends at Ulta Beauty! My dental assisting job is flexible, I get off at 3pm Wednesday and Thursday and don’t work Fridays! Whatever care you need for your pets I can provide. Take your dog for a walk, play fetch, bathe them, and even provide their medication if needed! Along with cats change their litter boxes and have play time. I’m well equipped to watch over your pets!

About: I’ve been caring for pets continuously since I was 8 years old — that’s over 50 years of hands-on experience. Growing up on a farm gave me a deep and lasting connection with animals from an early age. I learned responsibility, patience, and the importance of providing a safe, loving environment for every creature in my care. Over the years, I’ve also taken in many strays, giving them food, shelter, and the attention they desperately needed until they found their forever homes. This lifelong bond with animals has given me tremendous empathy for family pets and the people who love them. I understand how much your pet means to you and how important it is for them to feel secure, comfortable, and genuinely cared for when you’re away. Whether it’s a dog, cat, or another beloved companion, I treat every pet with the same kindness and respect I would want for my own. Today, my own dog serves as my daily assistant and constant companion. He keeps me active, grounded, and reminds me every day of the special relationship we share with our animals. This close, everyday connection helps me bring real understanding and patience to the pets I care for. I’ve cared for animals with many different personalities — from easygoing to more independent or strong-willed — and I always adapt my approach to meet their individual needs. Feeding, daily care, playtime, and health monitoring have all been part of my routine for decades. I’ve learned how to create consistent schedules, provide mental and physical enrichment, and make sure every pet feels like part of the family. My goal is always the same: to give your pet the same level of love, attention, and security they receive at home. Caring for pets is a natural and consistent part of my daily routine. I currently share my home with a dog and two cats, so I understand the importance of structure, attention, and love in keeping animals happy and healthy. I maintain a consistent feeding schedule for all my pets. Meals are served at the same times each day, which helps them feel secure and supports good digestion. I’m especially attentive to individual dietary needs — for example, my dog is currently on a carefully managed elimination diet, so I prepare and portion his meals with extra care while still keeping the cats on their own appropriate feeding routine. I also make sure my pets get plenty of activity and engagement throughout the day. My dog gets regular walks that give him both physical exercise and mental stimulation. With my two cats, I incorporate interactive play sessions using wand toys, laser pointers, and puzzle feeders to keep them active and mentally sharp. These daily activities help prevent boredom and strengthen the bond I share with each of them. Above all, I show kindness through positive reinforcement. I use praise, gentle encouragement, and rewards to build trust and confidence. Whether it’s rewarding my dog for calm behavior on walks or praising one of my cats for using their scratching post instead of the furniture, I focus on reinforcing good behavior in a loving, patient way. This approach helps pets feel safe and happy, and it’s the same method I use when caring for other people’s pets. Because I live this routine every day with my own dog and cats, I bring real, practical experience to every pet I care for on Rover. Safety and trust are the foundation of the care I provide. Whether I’m doing an overnight pet sitting stay, taking a dog for a walk, or doing a quick drop-in visit, I treat every pet with the same care and attention I give my own dog and two cats. My goal is always for your pet to feel secure, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. Building Trust from the First Meeting I believe trust starts with a calm, respectful introduction. I take time to meet your pet on their terms — letting them approach me first, using a gentle voice, and allowing them to get comfortable at their own pace. I pay close attention to their body language and personality so I can adjust my approach to what makes them feel safe. Pet Sitting (Overnight or Extended Care) When staying in your home, I maintain your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. This includes consistent feeding times, regular potty breaks, and familiar play or rest periods. I keep doors, gates, and windows secure at all times and never leave your pet unsupervised in unfamiliar situations. I also provide daily updates with photos and notes so you can see your pet is happy and safe while you’re away. Pet Activity & Walks Safety is my top priority during walks and outdoor activities. I always use a secure leash and harness (or the equipment you prefer) and remain attentive to the environment — watching for other dogs, traffic, wildlife, or anything that could startle your pet. I adjust the pace and length of the walk to your pet’s energy level and fitness. For dogs who need extra structure, I use positive reinforcement to encourage calm, polite behavior on the leash. Drop-In Visits During drop-in visits, I focus on providing everything your pet needs in the time I’m there — fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, medication if required, and some quality interaction or playtime. I always double-check that your pet is secure before I leave (doors locked, pets in safe areas) and send you a visit report with photos so you know exactly how your pet is doing. General Safety Practices I Follow I carefully follow all of your instructions regarding food, medication, routines, and any special needs. I keep emergency vet information and your contact details easily accessible at all times. I monitor your pet closely for any changes in behavior, appetite, or energy and will contact you immediately if anything seems off. I use positive reinforcement and patience to help even shy, anxious, or strong-willed pets feel relaxed and secure in my care. Because I live with pets every day, I understand how important these small details are. My experience has taught me that when pets feel safe and trusted, they’re happier — and their owners can relax knowing their beloved companions are in good hands.

About: I have grown up around pets my whole life and have always loved their company. At a young age I wanted to be a veterinarian so I can learn more of animals. Even though I did not take that route in my education I still have taken care of many pets with disregards to age range or personality. Coming from someone who has experience with a pet with an illness I know how important it is to insure their health and safety. I am solely focused on their need of comfort and safety in my care . I believe open communication and direction for the care of your loved ones is very important in this role. I currently work a full-time job so my availability is not as open. I am currently open on weekends and the occasional weekdays, I will try my best to align with yours and your pets schedule. I intend to keep the best environment of safety and enjoyment wherever it may be. I will work to keep the peace and chaos in a healthy balance, whatever your pet will need.

“Brittney is great with the animals and very responsive! She helped us out pretty last minute, which we really appreciated. My 2 dogs and 2 cats were in good hands, would recommend!”
