“Very responsive and great with my dogs. Both of my girls are very skittish and she won them over quick! She kept my home neat, made sure the girls were taken care of, and sent me amazing photos🫶🏽10/10”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life !! I currently have two dogs of my own as well. I do some dog training. Sit, stay, lay, shake, crate training, and potty training. I work full time however I get two breaks and only work Monday-Thursday. I work from 8-5 and take a break at 1130 and 2:30. I live in a house and have a closed in fence. I take my dogs for a walk or run every day and will play fetch or tug of war with them in the yard. The dogs get lots of outside time and my girls love having new friends to play with! A kennel is not required but I do ask if you have one to bring it. Since we have our own dogs and also board more than one dog we put them up in the kennel when going to sleep at night.
“Rachel is the sweetest girl and was so comforting to all my concerns i had leaving my puppy for the first time. i was worried for no reason because our girl absolutely loved her!! Rachel even brought her new toys when she was getting bored! She really listens to detail of how you want things done and ahe sends updates pics and videos so it feels like they are almost there with you. She even cleaned before we got back! I could not recommend her enough we will be using her anytime we have to leave again in the future!”
“Katelyn did amazing taking care of our puppy while we were out of state. She kept us updated with photos throughout her stay. Our puppy was very happy and taken care of when we return.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. Growing up on a farm, animals have been something I’ve loved since I was little. My passion was mainly towards cattle, but after I moved to college I began watching my friend’s dogs when they were gone on extracurricular activities and I fell in love again! It made me not miss home so much and I gained a new skill of learning to care for these special animals in my friend’s lives. Before and after class I help walk, feed, and take care of dogs of all sizes and kinds. Ensuring their health and well being is my main concern. I am also very good at overnight stays when owners are away from home and checking on the needs of the pet. I take care of my pets like they are my babies. My cattle have been a shining example of this. After raising my own for over 10 years, being loving and caring to animals comes naturally, so no matter what animal, the kind and appropriate response to the pet will be used because I know, these animals are very close to our hearts. I will cater to each animals need respectfully and responsibly.
About: I am a huge animal lover and have grown up around them my entire life. At present, I have two dogs at home - but sometimes four (basically a mini-shelter!) My dogs often go on daily adventures with me, whether it be on long hikes outdoors or on brief excursions to Starbucks for a pup cup. Whenever my friends or family need someone to dog-sit, I am their first choice, and I have taken care of a wide variety of breeds, ranging in size from the small maltese to the large malinois. When it comes to taking care of your pets, a top priority for me is safety: I will make sure that they are properly leashed when walking and are well taken care of at home. I have completed multiple training courses and am familiar with how to handle reactivity, aggression, anxiety, and stubbornness in dogs as well as cats. I have plenty of time available for dog walking and pet-sitting before / after work or even during lunch. I look forward to helping, so please feel free to reach out! I care for pets with a realistic mindset. It takes a while for them to create a bond with a new person. I will be calm, give them treats and show them affection to create a bond with your best friend.
About: I am currently a junior at OSU majoring in zoology. I have a cat named Troye whom I have had for 1 year. I grew up with dogs and have experience giving oral medication. I also have 3 years working with large mammals at accredited zoos. I am a full time student at OSU, so I am looking to work locally in Stillwater, but can also serve surrounding areas like Guthrie and north Edmond depending on my schedule. I feel free to reach out and ask any questions! I live in a small apartment, so I am looking for clients interested in walks and drop in visits and housesitting! I will always treat your home and pets with the same respect that you would, and would love to set expectations on both ends before booking!
About: I’ve had a passion for animals for as long as I can remember. Before I was able to have a pet of my own, I cared for stray animals by making sure they had food, fresh water, and plenty of love. Now, as a dedicated dog owner and pre-vet student, I’ve gained experience caring for my dog with heartworms and allergies, including administering medication, monitoring her health, and giving medicated baths. I treat every pet with patience, compassion, and the same level of care I give my own I’m currently a full time student and working a part time job at the OSU vet hospital. When school begins in august I will be available after 5pm and all day available on the weekends. I might have the opportunity to do drop ins during the weekdays depending on classes. I will treat their/your home with respect and kindness. In their eyes I am a guest so I want to make sure they are comfortable as possible. If that means laying on the floor giving cuddles is the best for them that’s a great idea! Or if they just like to be in someone’s presence I can definitely bring a book and hang out with them.
“Abby house sat for us and our dog Christmas for a week while traveling and she was amazing!! Wonderful communicator, sent great updates, and took great care of our elderly pup. Would highly recommend Abby for any pet care needs!”
“Emily was such an amazing pet sitter!! She sent lots of updates and photos and my pets looked so happy! I felt so relaxed on my trip knowing they were in good hands. Would definitely use again!”
“She’s both perfect. She’s so sweet. She works so hard sending updates. I don’t know if there’s a word to explain how wonderful she is and she’s going places and I’m so proud of her and so is God.”
About: I have owned pets all my life from dogs and cats to ferrets and lizards. I am currently studying animal science in pursue of a degree in veterinary medicine. I have trained puppies and volunteered at shelters so I have been exposed to lots of different dog breeds. Last summer I worked side by side with a Vet and gained lots of experience with many animals. My schedule is very flexible considering I am a college student and only work when I am home on breaks. I am working at a vet clinic and getting experience in that field. I am also available on weekends and capable of working with you to put the needs of your pet first. My dogs have a fenced in yard so during this time of year they spend a lot of time outside and playing fetch. We have crate trained them as puppies so I can accommodate to any means necessary.
“This is the second time Alora has sat for our dog, Remy, and she always does a wonderful job! She provides plenty of updates and Remy was happy and content the whole time we were gone. Would absolutely recommend and will definitely use Alora again!”
About: I have been pet and house sitting for friends and family since I was 16 years old. I love animals (sometimes more than people). I can take care of all different types of needs that your beloved pet might have. Long walks, baths, morning and night time routines, special diets, etc. I have even taken care of a dog with diabetes before. I do not have much experience with other animals but I am a quick learner. I would love to take care of any pet you may have. I am a full time student at Oklahoma State University and I have a part time job that I work as well. I wouldn’t be gone from my house or yours any longer than the hours that would consist in a normal work or school day. I’m not normally gone that long but that is the longest I would be gone in a day. I have a pretty open schedule for the most part because a few of my classes are online. I don’t have any pets at home anymore. Sadly my childhood dogs passed away this summer and while I am not ready to get my own dog yet I still love taking care of animals! I kept a lot of their old things so I have plenty of toys, dog beds, and blankets that your animal would be welcome to use. I also have a dog door and fenced backyard that is available for use as well. The dog door can be shut or left open depending on what works best for your animal.
“We couldn't have asked for a better house and pet sitter! All of our pets are seniors, and each one has medications or special care needs. Leaving them is never easy, but she gave us complete peace of mind. She followed every instruction we left, from medications and feeding schedules to taking care of our home and even setting the alarms exactly as requested. What stood out the most was how much she genuinely cared for our animals. She didn't just meet their needs—she loved on them and treated them like they were her own. Coming home to happy, well-cared-for pets meant the world to us. We are incredibly grateful for the care and attention she gave both our home and our furry family members. We will absolutely be using her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and compassionate!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 125 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Perkins. 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 Perkins 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 Perkins 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 Perkins 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 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.
