“Excellent service and communication. Julie took very good care of our cat and house. Sent lots of pictures on a daily basis so that was nice to see how our little guy was doing.”
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!
“Andrea is amazing!! She loved on our pets and took the best care of them. She kept us updated and exceeded any & all expectations. Already planning on rebooking her for future dates.”
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.
“Brianna was wonderful with George. George was a little hesitant at first with Brianna but she gave him his space and by the second or third day, they were buddies. She was very purposeful in sending us photos of George while we were done and she maintained good communication with us while we were gone. We will definitely use Brianna again when the need for a pet sitter arises.”
About: There is no one my friends, family and neighbors would trust more with taking care of their pets. My personal philosophy includes making sure pets feel special - lots of petting, cuddling and play, food, water and hygienic care instructions followed (cat boxes cleaned a minimum of 2X a day/dog walks and outdoor play routines followed) and pet parents come back to a home and fur babies just as they left them. I recently left my Esthetic practice in Dallas, TX to join my husband who is a professor at OU. I wanted to find something to do that brought me the same joy I experienced caring for my clients. I am completely flexible to provide care for your pets and home. Cleanliness and social interaction are my focus. My care accommodates their feeding schedule, fresh water and clean pet dishes. I clean my own litter boxes a minimum of 2X a day and in between when I see a need. Dog walking minimally on their required schedule and outdoor play as approved by owners. I love playing, snuggling and interacting with the animals. Plants, mail, garbage schedules are also accommodated.
“She's attentive, quick to respond, responsible with the details, and my dogs treat her like she's Mary Poppins. While out of town for days and without even a signal on my cell phone, I had zero worries for my dog's care”
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.
“I have just gotten a rescue Newfoundland and was super scared of leaving him with anyone but finally settled on Juliet because of her professionalism and talking with her. She put my mind at ease with answering all my questions and she listened as I know I rambled on about all the things I was concerned about. I had an 11am appointment and she arrived promptly 15 min early to get herself settled in. I was thinking I was going to need to take my Jericho out myself because he is 120 lbs. But nope she said she had it. And you know what she did. I got plenty of pictures of their stay and I my mind was put at ease so I could concentrate on what I needed to do. I highly recommend Juliet to you. She is professional and takes her job serious. She is dependable and she also communicates with you so your mind can be put at ease. I just had someone show up late to her appt with me so trust me I would tell you if there was a problem. Please consider using Juliet for any pet needs you may have. My rescue dog and my Aria cuddled up next to her on the floor as she sat down. That right there is the proof I need that Juliet is a good person and can be trusted. You can't fake out a dog. It can tell a good person from a bad person. And trust me Juliet is the best. Thank you Juliet for taking care of my two pups. (Even though Jericho is 120 he is still my baby pup)”
“I don't even know where to start. Claire is a wonderful girl that clearly cares for your babies when you are away. she sends communication daily and photos so you can really keep up with what's going on while you're away. She house sat for us and took care of our three Pomeranians and our outdoor cat. One of our poms is just a puppy and she did a spectacular job. She really pays attention to detail and helps keep them comfortably in their routines as much as possible. We felt so comforted knowing that she was there keeping an eye on our house and taking care of our babies. If you are new to Rover or are just looking for a new sitter definitely consider Claire, you will not be disappointed. Claire is a very respectful and friendly person you won't be happy to have met her. We will absolutely contact her the next time we are in need of a sitter.”
About: I’ve cared for German Shepherds, Beagles, a Lab/Great Pyrenees mix, and a Corgi. I’m experienced with feeding, walks, training, and medications, and I treat every pup like family with plenty of love, patience, and cuddles! I work from home, so my schedule is flexible. I'm available for drop-in visits and walks on most weekdays between 1pm and 5pm, and I can sit on weekends. I plan to take 8-10 bookings a week so I can give each pet focused attention and never overbook. In a client's home, I treat the space and routine with respect. At the meet-and-greet, I go over feeding amounts, medications, where supplies are kept, the pet's habits and quirks, and any no-go areas of the house. I also get the vet's contact info and an emergency plan. On each visit, I follow the routine exactly: fresh food and water, litter scooped, medications given as directed, and playtime or a walk. I check that the pet looks and acts normal, then send a photo update. For weekend sits, I keep meals, walks, and bedtime on the same schedule the pet is used to, so they stay calm. I always lock doors and windows behind me, leash dogs before opening any door, keep the home tidy, and message right away if anything seems off, like a skipped meal, a limp, or a broken item.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life! I grew up in a household that always had cats and got my first dog when I was 9 years old. Since then, my family has welcomed two more puppies, giving me hands-on experience raising, caring for, and training dogs from a young age. I’ve also spent the past five years pet sitting for families in my neighborhood and community, gaining experience with animals of different ages, personalities, and needs. Additionally, through my volunteer work with National Charity League (NCL), I’ve had the opportunity to care for dogs by feeding, walking, and spending time with them. I truly love all animals and understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. I’m also pursuing a career in healthcare, so I understand the importance of safety, attentiveness, and staying calm in unexpected situations. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I’ll always treat your pets like they’re my own! I’m a current student at Oklahoma University so i am balancing classes. I’m free most weekends except for Sunday nights at 7. During the week i have classes from 11-1 Monday, Wednesday, Friday and on tuesdays and Thursdays i have classes from 10:30-11:45 and 1:30-4:15. On Thursday nights i do have a late lab from 6:30-9:00. Other than that my schedule is completely free!! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I understand that every animal has its own personality, needs, and routine, so I make sure to follow each owner’s specific instructions to provide the best care possible. Whether that means regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or extra attention and cuddles, I want your pet to feel as comfortable and loved as possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m always respectful of their space and make sure to maintain a clean, safe, and familiar environment. I also understand how important trust and communication are, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and pictures to give owners peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel completely comfortable and confident in my care!
“Melanie did a great job caring for my spoiled pup and new kitten. She was very communicative. I was able to travel and be comfortable knowing that my fur babies were in good hands. I would request Melanie in the future!”
About: I am very experienced with medical complex dogs, including seizures, tripawd's, urinary incontinence, chemotherapy, injection meds, and scheduled/ timed meds. During the day I work in human health care and am comfortable with a wide variety of doggy medical conditions. I have used Rover as a pet parent for years, and I would like to be your pet's new friend! In the past year I've said goodbye to my two geriatric dogs and, although I'm not ready for a new permanent friend just yet, I'd love to help other pet parents out. I work a somewhat flexible schedule, 40 hour work weeks, Monday to Friday. No weekends and no nights. Midday check-ins may be possible; we would just need to have that conversation. My goal is the safety and comfort for your pet. While at your house, I will follow your rules. I believe you know your pet best and I want to understand their quirks, stressors, and other behaviors you feel are important. I do ask for a meet and greet before a first stay, so we can ensure a good fit on both sides.
“Brooke did well with my sweet three. We were gone for 3 nights my dogs seemed to like her in the short time we had to find a sitter. Usually it takes one of my dogs awhile to warm up to a new face. Things looked great when we got home. Received a few pics which is always nice to get.”

About: Hi!! I’ve taken care of animals ever since I was a little girl and have always been the softest soul when it comes to them. Since the age of 16 I also worked at a veterinary clinic in charge of the proper care and nurturing of the animals while in our care. I always make sure to provide the best care I can while ensuring their safety and comfort. In 2022, I visited Turks and Caicos and volunteered at a local animal shelter that focuses on the care of stray pups. This experience added to my past job at the veterinary clinic has given me insight on so many different personalities and breeds of dogs. I’m currently a sophomore in college, however I only have class 4 days a week! Therefore, I will have lots of time to spend with your pets and make sure they are taken care of and loved! I always make sure the animal is feeling comfortable and loved. Since I come from a veterinary assistant background I know how to effectively calm nerves when it comes to meeting new people and basic care needs.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Norman
It was our first time using Rover & leaving our 3 babies with a stranger. We were super hesitant, but once we met Christina, we were completely at ease! Our 2 little ones are 16 & require a lot of attention & care. She was amazing in every way from beginning to end & sent communication more than once a day. When we got home, our 3 dogs were completely at ease & seemed sad she was leaving! I highly recommend her & would be happy to give her my recommendation & will definitely ask her to come again!
Paytin did an amazing job taking care of Gunner! It means a lot to have someone you can trust to look after your pet, and I couldn't be happier. I truly appreciate the care and attention Paytin gave Gunner. I would absolutely book with Paytin again and highly recommend Paytin to anyone looking for a dependable, caring pet sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Gunner!
Maddison was so great and we’ll use her again! She went above and beyond while taking care of our pets in our home and making sure the home was ready for us when we got home. She sent us pictures and several detailed updates that made us feel relaxed on our weekend getaway knowing she was taking care of our pets.
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!
Reese is outstanding! I highly recommend her. This was my first time using Rover and had an amazing experience thanks to her. The pups had an instant connection with Reese. It is a great relief knowing you have someone so passionate and dedicated to making sure your fur babies are in great hands and safe. Reese made it a priority to send updates throughout the day and communicate effectively giving you a greater sense of peace. I look forward to having her watch my fur babies in the future. Thank you Reese!!! 🙌🏼🫶🏼🐾🦴🦮🐼
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.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Norman is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $67 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 792 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Norman. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Tip: 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Norman. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
