Wendy took great care of my 3 cats. She came once a day and spent time with them. She shared photos and communicated with me every day. I never have to worry about the kitties when she is taking care of them. I feel very lucky to have found her!

Great job as usual. Came early, at my request, to deal with my new kennel-escaping dog. Thankful she's so intuitive!

About: I can walk your pet, bathe your pet if needed, and also pet sit if you want me to. Just ask me, the worst I can do is say no. I’m available most days for pet care, I do work between 8-5pm Monday to Friday, but other than that I’m available whenever you need me. I make sure that all my animals have what they need at all times, as well as my clients pets, if they need/want it they will have it.

Made our kitty girls very happy over thanksgiving and gave them their own feast. Made me feel very comfortable seeing the state of their litter and food while I was away ❤️

Kristen took excellent care of my kitties and kept me well informed with updates and pictures every visit, so I felt confident enjoying my time away. I'm a new pet owner and this was my first time using a pet sitter and she did an excellent meet and greet, asked questions to make sure she knew how I did things, and guided me through the process professionally and kindly. Will definitely book again!

This is a passion to me not just a job. Soon I will be offering dog training services as well. I’m currently working a full time job. My schedule for that is Tuesday- Friday 9am-7pm. I will be able to care for pets take them on walks before or after my job. The days I’m off I am 100% available for dog sitting. The days I work I can still dog sit overnight. I do not offer boarding from my home, but I am open to going to the clients home for an overnight stay with the dog.

Our cat was well and as happy as he gets when his people returned from being away. Jacob did seem to forget some of the details of our instructions, such as refilling the second upstairs water dish. Still, our cat did not go without any essentials, and Jacob's photo updates were reassuring. Thank you, Jacob!

About: I have personal experience being raised with various animals. I’ll treat your furkid as if my own with lots of love, attention, and patience. I’ll even send updates or photos cause who doesn’t enjoy receiving a picture of their pet?! I am a full time student attending OU. My schedule consists of classes from 9:30am to 2pm most weekdays. Weekends I am free anytime for any service. I do have a bunny- during house sitting services I will need to leave periodically to take care of him. I will care for your pet as if my own, all I ask is for info about your pet to keep things running smoothly and to limit any possible stress on all parties. This may include feeding info, behavior warnings or indicators, favorite activity (my dog likes playing hide and seek), etc. Never feel like any info or communication is too much, I will always appreciate it. Updates from my end will always be given to ensure satisfaction, safety, and simple engagement.

About: I’ve had many experiences pet sitting. I’ve watched anything from cats and dogs to farm animals! I often pet sit for my family members and neighbors. I have no problem cleaning up litter boxes, brushing, and even giving medications if needed! I’m currently in college and working part time. Right now i’m mostly available Tuesdays and Thursdays after 4. Summer is coming up so my availability will open up! I have no issue cleaning up after the pet and cleaning litter boxes. I can also ensure they have fresh water and if needed food at my visits.

About: I promise to care for your fur baby the same way I would care for my own. I love both dogs and cats. Spending time with animals is one of my favorite things to do with my free time! I have a full-time job, but have flexible hours and availability throughout the week. My schedule varies week by week and I will only accept a job if I am 100% sure I can dedicate my time to it. I have knowledge of what are unsafe living conditions for animals. I practice safe living conditions with my own pet in my everyday life. I will never put your pet in danger.

I was so relieved to have found Madison. My senior rescue cat is incredibly afraid of anyone new, but I knew it was a good sign when she sniffed Madison when she reached out to her! She was gentle with her. It gave me peace of mind to see photos of my little fuzzball when I was away (even when she was hiding). I’ll definitely ask for Madison’s help again in the future.

About: I was born into an animal-loving family - in fact, my very earliest memories all seem to center around my family's cats, dogs, and horses, and I helped to feed and care for them from childhood. I'm a middle-aged lady and I've had pets my whole life, so when I say I've got experience you know I'm not messing around! Friends and family trust me to take care of their pets when they're away, but I've even professionally cared for the animals at a natural history museum. (Did you know there is such a thing as monkey chow? And that turtles love it? It's true!) I've looked after dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors, sizes from 10 to 100+ lbs, mutts to pedigreed show dogs, special diets and medication, even disabled dogs. I guess it goes without saying I'm here because I love and have a strong rapport with animals, but people tell me their animals love me too. I know how important it is to have a sitter you and your pet can trust and that's who I strive to be. I'm currently available for drop-ins and walkies late morning through evening every day, including holidays. I work from home and my schedule is flexible, so I can give your pet(s) the time they need! (Please note I can't board pets or stay overnight with yours, due to space constraints and my own dogs' care needs.) As a pet parent myself, I know how stressful it can be to leave them. Rest assured your pet's safety and comfort are paramount. You show me your routine, and I will follow it to the letter to ensure as much consistency as possible for your pet. I'll send pics and updates every visit.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for years. I’ve helped take care of my family dogs, we have 2, and I’ve also been pet sitting for a few years. I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes. I am currently a senior at OU, working as a student teacher. So Monday through Friday 7-3, I am unavailable. I'm free all day most weekends. I'm pretty fixable so reach out and let's see what we can set up! My favorite activity is to take dogs out on long walks! I believe exercise and playtime are super important parts of a dogs daily routine.

Lillian is super friendly and kind, and Stuart loves her which is so important! She's definitely a great animal person and it's such a huge relief to have somebody so nice to check in on the little guy while we're out of town. I'm sure he appreciated her visit as much as we did! She's very communicative and sent us a bunch of pictures as well. Will definitely be hiring her again in the future!

About: I have had pets my whole entire life. If you can name it I’ve probably owned it. That includes large dogs and numerous cats. I enjoy animals and will make sure your pet is so loved while you are away. I am very open this summer to pet/house sit. I will ensure that there is time built out of my days and weeks to allow proper care to your pet and whatever their needs may be. I can be flexible and come when needed. In my clients home I will ensure the pets feel loved and are comfortable. I know different animals have different levels of needs and I will ensure that all of those are met. I will love your pet as my own and will try and make sure they don’t miss you too much while you’re away!

This was our first experience using Rover and we couldn’t have lucked out more. Wendy was a fantastic care taker to our two cats. Her communication was spot on and the updates for each drop in visit were thorough. Can’t recommend Wendy enough!
