“She was amazing!! She sent me lots of pictures and let me know how my kitty cat was doing every time she stopped in to check on her!! My cat absolutely loved her and we will definitely be booking with her again!! We highly recommend her!!”

“Brooklyn really went above and beyond and braved the awful icy roads to make sure my kitties were fed and watered in the awful cold weather we had. Excellent caretaker all the way around 🤩”

About: For as long as I can remember, I’ve absolutely loved dogs and had a passion for their care. I’m currently double majoring in Marketing and Management at Oklahoma State University with the intention of one day owning my own boarding and training facility. I’ve always been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family and have loved expanding my experience caring for pets throughout my college town. I grew up on a ranch where I was able to take in and foster many strays. I also have volunteer experience with an international heeler rescue, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all backgrounds, temperaments, and needs. Additionally, I have a French Bulldog with special medical and dietary needs, giving me experience with medications, injections, breathing treatments, and specialized care. I offer attentive, hands-on care focused on your dog’s happiness, enrichment, and comfort while you’re away. For in house care, I have a fenced yard with 18 acres for dogs to safely play and explore, and my dogs can easily be separated if needed. I also offer basic grooming services and have my own supplies, including baths, brushing, deshedding, ear cleaning, and nail trims if tolerated. However, I do not offer shaving or haircut/trimming services. Please feel free to share anything important about your pet so I can provide the best care possible. Special-needs dogs are always welcome! I’m currently unemployed while being home for the summer, so I’m super open! I already have a routine of my own with my dogs, so adding in another is no problem at all! I have a fenced in yard with 18 acres for your dog to run around as much (or as little) as their heart desires! I have other dogs, but they’re extremely unproblematic and can be entirely separated without issue if your dog has specific needs. For in home care, I’m dedicated to your dogs enrichment and fulfillment. Nobody hires a sitter to just sit around and make sure your dog doesn’t burn the house down, you can expect me to be extremely engaged! I absolutely love dogs and am passionate about their enrichment and their fulfillment. I will do my absolute best to make sure your dog is the happiest they can be!
About: I worked at a dog boarding daycare facility for 1.5 year, I have been certified in dog handling skills and know basic obedience training skills I am available full time. I wake up pretty early during the day so that gives time to have some play of walk time while it is cool! I also enjoy walking at the park gives us a chance to hang by the dog park :) I have a fully fenced in yard and out community is very dog friendly to all breeds. Your furry baby will have free roam to furniture and all areas of the house, water will always be down and constant potty breaks are a must! I will care for your baby just as I do mine just as you would care for yourself !
“This was our first time using Rover. We needed someone to check in on our cat and make sure he had food, water, and some attention. Olivia was great! She was very responsive to our questions and even came over ahead of time for a meet and greet. She gave us an update and pictures after each visit and even spent extra time with our cat. It gave us peace of mind knowing that he was taken care of and we came home to a happy cat! Thanks Olivia!”
About: I have a gentle and loving spirit. I accept all animals into my world. The more the better! I have a lot of love to give. I work part time so I have plenty of extra time to spend with all the pets. I love being outside and going for walks and spending time with animals as much as I can. Whenever I'm with any pets, they have my full attention and care. I'm happy to sit with pets as long as needed and give them the love and care.

About: I have a strong passion for caring for all animals! I am a registered nurse so am a natural care taker, but my heart especially goes most to our furry friends! I currently have 4 fur babies (dogs of all sizes/breeds) of my own :) I am comfortable working with all breeds/behaviors! I have a 5 year old female German shepherd who is coming out of her shell more now as she is around our other dogs, but I am very comfortable with nervous/shy behavior! All the "Sheppy" things :) we also have cattle working dogs, 2 border collies, one puppy and an Australian Kelpie so are very used to high drive pups that need lots of walk and exercise! My schedule is very flexible, so it is very easy for me to give frequent potty breaks, walks, and park visits to your fur baby! My own dogs are on a 7:30 am/pm eating schedule, but I can be flexible with the needs of your fur baby! I am very attentive and hands-on, ensuring pets are comfortable, happy and engaged in my home. Play is a big part of making sure pets are having a good experience with me and I will treat your fur baby as my own!
About: I’ve always had dogs or cats and have also helped my family with fostering dogs for years when I was in high school and college. I also used to volunteer at the humane society and worked with all kinds of animals, but mainly dogs and cats. I work full time but I am always home on Friday and the entire weekend so that is when I will be available for booking. This will ensure I am home to care for your pets as my top priority so they are never alone. I can accommodate any sort of requirements or restrictions you want in place to ensure both your pets comfort as well as your piece of mind. Both your pets comfort and your peace of mind are paramount for my business.
