“Julie has become our only go-to pet / house sitter. I travel for work and we're gone a lot. She offers tremendous peace of mind, knowing that our pets will not only be well-cared for, but happy. And our house is always cleaner than when we left. She even saved us when we experienced travel delays that caused us to return a day late. I highly recommend her!”
“Christina was great with our two little yorkies. She was on time, very friendly and we could tell she loves animals. I can always tell how good a sitter is by my pups actions when I return. I must say they were so happy, full and looked like they had a teddy good time. I most certainly recommend Christina to anyone looking for a good, honest and reliable sitter”
About: I have worked for a national pet boarding servicer the past two years and have had dogs my whole life. I have taken care of dogs of all ages I am a college student at UNT but live at home in Prosper on the weekends. I can be flexible and accommodate multiple schedules throughout the weekend I have a cane corso at home that I take care of. I have grown up with all size dogs from Great Danes to yorkies
“Phenomenal dog sitter, would recommend her to anyone who would want to feel at ease and comfortable for your time away from your animal. She was extremely communicative with us, followed of our requests with medication and necessities for Franklin. Our dog is particular about who he meets and he immediately loved her and it was very much reciprocated. She left our house impeccable and couldn’t even tell someone stayed there. I highly recommend Mary, will only book her for my dog!”
“I can't say enough good things about Vivian & Shaeffer! She stepped in extremely last minute to care for my dog Gizzy Halloween weekend. I appreciate her willingness to adjust her plans to make sure I was comfortable leaving Gizzy. She was very communicative and prompt in her responses. She left my home significantly better than she found it as well. I will definitely be working with Vivian in the future. She made what was looking to be a very stressful weekend so much better. Thank you Vivian!”
“Jacie went above and beyond in taking care of Mia and Rea while I was away. She sent me regular updates, photos, and even reassuring messages when there was a tornado watch. She truly cares!”
About: I’ve have grown up around dog my whole life and have taken care of my own, friends, and family’s pets since I was 12! I have always loved to be around dogs and would love to get to love on yours! I am a full time student at the University of Oklahoma! I only have one in person class which I would have on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 11-12. During my bays off and after my class I plan to stay and take care of your pets. I care for pets like there are my own. I will love them, play with them, feed them and even bathe them if needed. I believe that these animals are my own when I take care of them.
About: What sets me apart is my experience and genuine love for animals. I have two family dogs of my own who live back home with my parents, and I’ve been dog sitting since I was 12. Being away from my dogs makes me miss having that animal love around, so I would truly enjoy giving your pets the same love, attention, and care I give my own! Pet care fits really well into my daily routine because my class schedule is pretty flexible and gives me plenty of time throughout the day. On Mondays, my class is from 6–9 PM, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:30–11:30 AM, and Wednesdays from 12–1 PM. This leaves me available most mornings, afternoons, and evenings to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and care! I care for every pet as if they were my own and always make sure to follow the owner’s specific routine and instructions. In a client’s home, I make sure their pet feels comfortable by keeping up with their normal feeding schedule, walks, playtime, and any other care they need. I also love giving them plenty of attention and affection so they feel safe and loved while their owners are away!
“Chandler went above and beyond with my babies! He even washed my sheets and put them back on my bed. How nice it was to come home and be able to hop in my bed and go right to sleep. He sent me updates every morning and evening accompanied with pictures and videos of him playing ball and having the best time playing. I will definitely use him again in the future!!!!”
“Shelby was so good with our dog Jake and cat Mama. Jake went on several outings with her, and the house was well kept and all in order when we got home from our trip. A big plus to Shelby's care is she agreed to our request for a dog sitter on very short notice. I couldn't have asked for a better last-minute sitter. We will use her services for house/pet care again!!”
About: I have taken care of dogs a lot in my life. I have two dogs myself and they make my life much better. My friends also rely on me whenever they need someone to take care of their dog. I have an open schedule so I can take care of your dog anytime you need me to. I can also work on weekends if needed. I have two dogs and I always make sure they have good food and water nearby. I always take my dogs for a walk because I know that is essential for their health.
“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 worked at Dogtopia taking care of boarding dogs/daycare dogs. I love watching and working with pets! I have always owned pets as well. I am a full time college student, however I have a very flexible schedule. I usually finish classes early in the day and have both weekend days to care for pets. I have a reliable car that can take me to your home/dog parks. I make sure pets are always safe and comfortable following any routines/instructions provided.
About: Hi! I’m a huge dog lover and have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently have four dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, lots of playtime, overnight boarding, or just someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m patient, dependable, and happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications, crate training, and any special instructions. I’ll also send plenty of photo updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in good hands! I’m flexible and happy to work around your pet’s routine. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, daycare, or overnight stays, I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, and love. Your pet’s safety always comes first. I’ll follow your care instructions, keep your dog comfortable, and treat them like one of my own. I’ll also send regular photo updates so you know they’re happy and well cared for.
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was about 10. My neighbors, family, and friends have trusted me to walk, feed, and give their fur babies some company while ya’ll are away! I’ve grown up all my life with 6 dogs; ranging from a small chihuahua to my senior dogs a boxer and great dane! I love each pet I sit for just like I do my own! I’m currently a student at the University of Oklahoma. I have my own car so I have a reliable means of transportation. I’m done with classes around 1-2 pm depending on the day so I’m free anytime after that! I have had past experiences with senior dogs who need medication which I can provide that service if needed. Your fur babies will never be left unattended while outside and will always be in my eyesight.
About: I have taken care and rescued many dogs since I was 10 and I have 2 of my own. In my free time I also go and volunteer at animal shelters. I’ve bathed, walked, played, and brushed dogs of all ages as well. I am currently attending OU, and looking for between and after class pet care. I have more free time on my hands than I expected. So let me walk and watch your fur babies. I have a fenced yard back at home and I let my dogs out when needed. We go on walks every morning before it gets too hot for there feet and there bowls are never empty. If needed I can always crate them, as I have one with separation anxiety that I do the same with.
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.).
“Brittany was so sweet with Hank and Red for the week she stayed with them! They immediately loved her and her calm energy. She even took off work to spend extra time with them after Hank got a wild hair and ate her grapes off the counter. It gave me so much peace of mind that she was looking after them.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Norman is $40
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Norman
Shelby is WONDERFUL!!! She sent pictures several times during the day, every day, with cute little stories of what Gracie was doing. Shelby is friendly, sweet, and responsible. Gracie and our house were in good hands with Shelby. We highly recommend her and will definitely seek her out for future dog and house sitting!!!
Julie B. Was a fantastic pet sitter. Both of our cats grew to really like her over the week she spent with them. Even Ollie, who is especially shy around new people, was asking for belly rubs by the end of the week. We’re so glad to have found such a wonderful pet sitter.
This is the second time we have used Marinna and she took excellent care of our two boxers. I love all pictures she sends. Marianna is not only terrific with our dogs but she is a great communicator with us which is so comforting. I know our dogs are in caring and loving hands when she is with them.
Cassidy took great care of our fur babies! Our normal sitter was not available this time, so of course went with another. She took the time to spend with our senior pup when she needed it the most and also gave lots of love to our kitties and cleaned their boxes without asking. Would recommend or use again if needed!
Claire did an outstanding job house sitting and taking care of our our two German Shepherds and our little pug mix. She kept us updated throughout the week with messages and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We came home to a well-kept house and three happy dogs. Claire is reliable, caring, and an excellent communicator. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable pet and house sitter!
Jacie stayed one night and took great care of our dog and cat. She sent frequent pictures and updates. Everything looked to be in great order when we got home. She had even put the sheets and towels from her room in to wash. Would definitely recommend her to stay with your pets.
Brooke demonstrated her commitment to the welfare of our dogs by going the extra mile when our flights home were delayed because of weather. Can’t say enough about her diligence, dependability and compassion. Second time we’ve been lucky enough to have secured her services.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Rylee! She took such amazing care of our senior dog who needs medication and a lot of help getting around. She sent lots of updates and pictures and was overall great with communication. We will absolutely be asking her to stay with him again in the future!

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 Norman 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 Norman 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 Norman 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.
