“Christina was absolutely fabulous. She came for a meet and greet a couple of weeks before the scheduled visit and we walked through our needs. She met Gabby, our cat, and I booked the stay that day. She showed up on time and reassured us all would be well. She sent us multiple messages and photos of Gabby daily to show us she adjusted to Christina being here very well. I can't say enough about how relieved we were to have the peace of mind that Gabby was well care for. She collected our mail, emptied the dehumdifier, and left the house spotless as well. We highly recommend Christina and look forward to her services in the future.”
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.
“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!!!!”
“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!”
“Claire was absolutely amazing! Our sweet Great Dane is very shy with new people, so she came out to our house the week before our trip to meet Koda. She sent us a ton of pictures throughout our trip, and was a great communicator! I cannot say enough good things about Claire. We will absolutely hire her again!”
“Ariel stayed at my house with my dog, Sadie, for 11 days while I was overseas and everything went perfectly! She was great with Sadie, sent picture updates and administered her medicine on time. It was great not to have to worry about Sadie while I was away and my house was tidy and clean when I got back! Thank you, Ariel!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was young, neighbors and friends have counted on me to watch, walk, play with and bathe their pets. I have two dogs of my own, that I love on and play with daily. We go for rides and the car and sit outside and play fetch. Be attentive to any special needs. Play with them indoors and outdoors per their individual needs. Also love on them and show them attention and affection just as if they are my own pets.
“Yukie did a wonderful job loving on Shiloh while I was out of town for a couple days. Great updates and pics thru out the day. I felt very comfortable having Yukie in my home. Yukie is a sweetheart!”
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life! I have had German Shepherds since I was a baby and especially love big dogs. I started dog walking and house sitting for my neighbour's in 2020, giving me experience with pets other than my own. I truly love animals and view them as important as children, and I would love to take care of yours! I’m currently a full-time college student with a flexible schedule. I’m available before and after classes on weekdays, and I have open availability on weekends. I’m committed to providing reliable, attentive care and will work with you to find times that fit your pet’s routine. I provide care in your pet’s familiar home environment, where they can stay comfortable and maintain their normal routine. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special care. I treat every home with respect, keep pet areas clean, and make sure your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Tristen, Was Fantastic! Our previous plans for a house sitter fell through 4 days before we left on vacation and Tristen graciously accepted and came and meet the pups the next day. We have two LARGE dogs and she was great when we introduced them to her. Could tell by her interaction that she knew what she was doing. Might be small but was a huge relief in of itself. She was not intimated and I think the dogs could sense she was not tense which helped them with the introduction. Came everyday to take care of the pups and sent picture updates. Overall would recommend Tristen again!”
“Sophia did a wonderful job with our senior pittie! We got plenty of pictures and updates, and we felt completely comfortable having her stay in our home while we were out of state. We will definitely hire her again in the future!”
“Alex did a wonderful job house stitting with our pets. He did have an emergency that forced him to leave early, however, he handled everything responsibly which I very much appreciate. Will look forward to having him watch our pets again.”
About: I have dog sat for many families, and have a lot of experience with dogs. I have grown up with dogs my whole life and currently have three. I’m a current student at the University of Oklahoma, so besides classes I will be able to tend to your fur babies whenever needed! In my clients home I will make their fur babies feel safe and comfortable. I will give many updates to my client on their dogs!
“Tasia was FANTASTIC. Our dog got sick while we were gone (we think separation anxiety), and she was so sweet and took great care of her. She went above and beyond to keep her comfortable and kept us very well updated. When she came to meet our dog, she was immediately comfortable with Tasia. I would definately recommend her to anyone!”
About: I have taken care of my dogs and other peoples dogs for years and I have a strong love for animals. I would love to watch your babies. I’m currently working part-time and have a very flexible schedule! I can do pretty much any time of the day and can work around your schedule. I am willing to care for your dogs however needed. I feel more comfortable watching your pets in your home but can follow any protocols that you prefer.
“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!!! 🙌🏼🫶🏼🐾🦴🦮🐼”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was a teen watching pets for friends and family. I’m a patient person and enjoy working with animals. Dogs especially have always been a joyful part of my life. I work from home and have free time on my hands. My schedule is open for walks, playtime, and boarding. The household wakes up at 6:00 am so I'm available anytime after. I have a large fenced in yard that your pet is able to play in and run around safely. Inside we keep cords tucked away to make sure inside is safe as well.

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!
We were first time Rover users, and selected Steph based on her profile and reviews. We could not have been happier with the job she did! She texted us daily, and sent pics of our dog and two cats to assure us they were doing well. We would not hesitate to use her again. 👍👍👍

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Norman is $39 per night as of October 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 October 2026, there are 799 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
