“Alexander was wonderful, very good with our dogs and very patient as our little Cooper is a handful. He kept in touch with us and sent pictures. We were very well pleased with his services will definitely use again when needed.”
“Ashley was wonderful! Very fast to respond when we were looking to book our Athena last minute. Kept us updated with pictures the whole time. And our pup seemed to have a great time! We will definitely be using her again!”
“This was my second time leaving Luna with Sam and i am never disappointed. I never worry about Luna when she is with Sam. Luna has so much fun with her that she comes back home tuckered out.”
“Sarah was incredible. She kept me up to date with my kitty and was so responsive and helpful at every moment. I never do reviews like this but Sarah absolutely wow’d me with how excellent and involved she was. I implore anyone with an animal to give her some business!”
“Cheryl was so amazing with our dog Max. This was our first time using Rover. We were taking a last minute trip. Our son in the Navy came in from Japan and we wanted to take a quick trip to Norfolk VA to see our other son stationed their with the Navy. Our family hadn’t been together in over a year and a half . I reached out to Cheryl the day we needed boarding and she quickly agreed to help us. Our Max was so pampered and taken so well care of. I think when we got home he even missed being with Cheryl and her family. We will definitely use this app again and Cheryl will be our only choice !!! Thank you Cheryl for making our time with our sons perfect and giving us the best experience without worry!!!! You’re the best!!!!”
“Justin was great. I had a friend cancel at the last minute and Justin helped me out big time. I had never used Rover before but heard good things about them and am sure glad I did try it. Justin took great care of my 2 dogs. He kept me up to date on them amd always answered my messages in a timely manner. I would recommend Justin to anyone who is looking for someone to watch their dogs. Fantastic. Will definitely book with him again my best trip”
About: Personal experience taking care of dogs for over 10 years. Including walking, feeding, and bathing family and neighbors’ pets. Managed care of newborn puppies as well as sick, special needs dogs. Took care feeding and administering medicine as well as caring for older dogs. I’m currently a student at LSU with a relaxed schedule so I can take care of your pets in my home for boarding or drop-ins! Afternoons work best for me for dog-walking. I live in an apartment with enough space for your pets to rest and relax. My apartment complex is big and walkable with a dog park to entertain your pets.
“Hannah was great, super helpful, patient, friendly and easy to work with! She kept us updated and our pup was very happy and well taken care of. We’ll definitely use her services again. I highly recommend her!”
“Courtney & Colton were great. They kept me updated everyday with pictures and updates. They treated Flynn like one of their own & it seems like he had a great time. I definitely recommend.”
“Not sure where to start. I’ve been very nervous about leaving my 8 month old boxer with anyone. She’s a rescue, she’s skiddish at times, we aren’t sure of her history, whether she’s been hit, yelled at, punished, or abused in any way. We wanted her treated like we treat her; she’s one of our babies. I immediately felt at easy when we met Ally, Chole was at ease, it was so easy for us to leave her with Ally. We knew getting a puppy was going to keep us from our travel plans unless we took her with us because Chole freaks out in her crate if left alone. We now feel that if we want to travel we have found our person. Chole was entertained and got the attention she demands from you. Easy drop off and easy pickup. I’ll definitely recommend and use Ally again!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and personalities — from energetic puppies who need endless playtime to senior pups who just want a cozy nap buddy. I grew up around animals, and I know every dog has their own quirks, routines, and favorite toys. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, or just keeping their tails wagging while you’re away, I make sure every pup feels safe, loved, and right at home. ❤️ I’m currently working 9-5 but always have time during the day to take care of your pups! I can’t provide potty breaks on lunch and more! I have a fenced in yard and three dogs of my own to keep yours company! I can also kennel your pup if needed during times I am away.
About: I am a certified animal lover- newly retired non-profit director who loves to care for animals and loves the outdoors! I will care for your loved ones as I care for my own! I'm very active and newly retired! I've wanted to work with animals all my life. I'd be happy to met your fur family and care for them as I do my own! I have an open backyard with a dog run or a Dogwatch (warning beep only) and a lovely sunroom for them. I can also come to your home. I am newly retired and flexible!
“Michell was super accommodating and very nice. She gave us plenty of updates and pictures. She was very professional and treated our little boy Benny with great loving care. She was always quick to respond to our questions. I highly recommend her for your pet care needs. We have already booked her again.”
About: I genuinely love all dogs - puppies, seniors, and everything in between. I bring patience, attentiveness, and a calm energy that helps dogs feel safe and cared for. Whether your pup needs playtime, cuddles, gentle walks, or just a cozy lap to nap on, I meet each dog where they are. I pay close attention to routines and behavior, and I’m happy to follow any special instructions for care, meds, or training needs. With me, your dog gets the love and respect they deserve. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I have a flexible schedule, especially during the summer. I’m available for consistent care, last-minute needs, and spending quality time with your pup throughout the day I don’t have a fenced backyard, but I make sure all potty breaks and outdoor time are on leash and supervised. I provide a calm, clean environment with lots of love, attention, and structure. Whether in my home or yours, I follow your pet’s routine closely and always prioritize their safety and comfort.
About: I have been blessed with fur babies my entire life, big and small, young and old love them all!! Yours will have the "run" of the house with Toby Im a retired stay at home dog mom. My big boy loves new fur friends and is a gentle giant even with small dogs too. I have a fenced yard or can leash walk if you prefer. I have outdoor cameras as well as in door to keep close eye on them.
About: I’ve been the go to pet sitter for all of my friends & family since I was a kid! I love dogs & cats and have 2 fur babies of my own. I am excited to provide cuddles and care for your fur babies! I work part time from home so I have plenty of availability during the week Monday through Friday & can happily provide care or walks on weekends. I am happy to walk your dog, feed your animals or just spend time with them while you are away as they can get lonely with out you! Your pet’s happiness and well being is my top priority. I currently work from home part time and can easily make time for your four legged child. Drop in visits and walks are fresh of breath air for me as they break up the day! Not to mention dogs warm my heart. I offer drop in visits which usually includes 2 potty breaks, food, a short walk and play time. Dog walking is another service that I provide (pretty self explanatory) I’ll swing by and give your dog the love and attention (and potty break) that you would if you were there along with the exercise they need to burn off that energy. I also offer house sitting- where I can stay with your dog the entire time frame (day/night) to give them quality care and attention. I offer boarding to smaller dogs only as my cats are sensitive to large dogs.

Every sitter has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Poteau home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Poteau.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Poteau sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in OK ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
