“Ann took care of our dogs over the weekend. We had great communication from her, she was timely and my house looked the way it did when we left. She came and meet the dogs before hand and they loved her! Thank you!!!”
“Lacey and her family watched my home and two dogs for a full week while I was on vacation, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! They took great care of our house and left it super clean, sent pictures of my fur babies every day, and were very quick and easy to communicate with. 10/10 recommend, will definitely be booking her again in the future.”

Plus I have two dogs that are pet friendly that would love the company. If you want help with extra training, please let me know.
“Alyssa was so wonderful! We needed a dog sitter last minute for a trip and she went above and beyond with taking them on walks and watching them for us while we were gone. She checked in and didn't hesitate to reach out with questions and updates!”
“Great communication before and during her stay. She sent updates and pictures during her stay even though she knew I probably wouldn’t receive them (I didn’t have service). I appreciated having her and plan to use her more in the future. ?”

“Our dogs just loved Oraylia from the moment she stepped through the door. You can tell she's an animal person. She took great care of our dogs while we were gone, provided lots of pictures, and spent a lot of time at the house which I appreciate because our dogs are used to someone being home most of the time. They were calm and happy when we got home. I would definitely have her watch our boys again!”

“Hailley watched our cat and dog for about 10 days. She communicated frequently with us during our trip and even sent photos. Our dog got a tummy bug and she went out to get chicken and made her rice and chicken. The animals seemed happy upon our return, the house and animals were clearly well taken care of.”
About: I have years of experience with cat and dog care. I have one of each of my own and am passionate about keeping your pets happy and healthy while you are away. I hope to be a source of information and ease your comfort away from your pet. I am responsible and experienced. I can provide boarding, housesitting, walking or drop in services when needed. Through July I work 8am -5pm Tuesday- Friday. I am available weekends, Monday's, and evenings. After,I am available full time in the month of August! The pets both get breakfast at about 7 am, the dog gets a walk and bathroom break after breakfast. The dog goes out every three to four hours for a walk until about 1-2am (stay at home dad walking during work hours). Both pets get attention in the morning and evening on weekdays, then weekends are out in the home all day doing whatever they please. Every Saturday baths are taken and nails are clipped as needed. I live in an apartment and implement feeding twice a day, outside walks 4-5 times a day for our dog and an hour of play time with my cat per evening. Both have high energy throughout the week but are generally calm and collected. They are kind and sweet. Both pets receive baths regularly and I clip their nails bi-monthly. I will take care of your animals well and am good at following instructions while making sure your animal feels safe and secure.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 112 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Payne. 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 Payne 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 Payne 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 Payne 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
