House Sitting in Ripley

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.

“Katy spent over a week house sitting and caring for our dog, Wally. She did a wonderful job! Wally was in great spirits when we returned, and our house was spotless. Katy was easy to communicate with and sent daily photos of our dog, which we so appreciated. Highly recommend!”

About: I have my own dog and cats, so I’m used to different personalities and energy levels. I’m reliable, patient, and make sure your pet is safe and cared for while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to check in, do walks, and spend quality time with pets throughout the day, evening and overnight! I care for pets based on what they’re used to. I follow their routine, make sure they’re fed, exercised, and comfortable, and give them attention based on their personality. I treat them like my own and keep you updated.

“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.

About: I've had a dog for as long as I can remember. Love them. I have watched many of my friends dogs as well. One of my best friends fosters many dogs and they are great trainers and I have learned a lot from them as well with training. My schedule is flexible so as long as I have a schedule ahead of time I can plan on helping on the weekday or weekends. I am loyal and on time so you can trust me with your babies. I will give lots of hugs and kisses and can get them out to play as well.

“SJ was very good at communicating and sending pictures and text updates. She was good with our animals and very patient with multiple texts when one of our cats went walkabout(they are indoor/outdoor). She eventually came back💜. Her prices are fair according to your needs. We needed house sitting and that was hard to find for 12 days. Thankfully SJ was available and reliable. We are grateful for her help because that is a long time to leave your fur babies.”

About: I have grown up around both cats and dogs of all sizes and personalities. I was raised with German Shepherds, so I am very familiar with working and protection breeds and understand how to read their body language, respect boundaries, and build trust properly. I volunteer at the humane society where I work with a wide variety of dogs and cats, including high-energy, shy, and more reactive animals. This has helped me learn how to adapt to each pet’s needs and personality. I have experience caring for large dogs (100+ lbs), small breeds, puppies, senior dogs, and cats. I have also fostered a pit bull, which gave me experience managing higher-energy dogs that need structure, patience, and mental stimulation. I am comfortable administering medications, caring for pets after procedures like spay/neuter, and handling both playful and more reserved animals. I pay close attention to behavior, routines, and small details to make sure pets stay happy, safe, and comfortable. I am currently a full time student but my schedule is flexible and open. I can check mornings briefly but afternoons and evenings I can spend more time! I have both cats and a dog, so I’m very used to maintaining a consistent routine and making sure pets get the attention, care, and structure they need. I follow feeding schedules closely and always make time for play, exercise, and affection. I understand that pets can feel stressed when their owners are away, so I focus on creating a calm, comfortable environment and keeping their routine as normal as possible. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe and cared for at all times.

About: I have lots of experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I’ve raised and cared for my own dogs for many years; and have also sat and helped train the pets of friends and relatives. I currently have two dogs of my own, who I have owned and trained since they were puppies. So no matter the size or age, I am prepared to direct my full attention to loving and caring for your doggy! I am a recently graduated student who will be going back to school after the summer is over. I can shape my schedule very freely so I can care for pets at whatever time works best for you! I live on a well fenced and neatly kept three acre property just outside of Stillwater. I have two male dogs: a Black Lab named Ollie, and an Ozzie named Blue. Both of which can keep your pup company, as they are very friendly, laid back, and get along great with other dogs. Since I already have dogs that live with me, my home has all the amenities necessary to care for them!

About: From fur to feathers to scales, I have years of hands on animal care experience through personal pet care and professional wildlife hospital and zoo work. I’m currently a wildlife biology graduate student at OSU, and my background has made me very comfortable observing animal behavior, following detailed care routines, and noticing small changes in an animal’s comfort or health. What sets me apart is my reliability, patience, and attention to detail. I’m comfortable caring for active dogs, shy pets, and animals that need a calm, consistent routine. I’m happy to follow specific feeding, walking, medication, or enrichment instructions and will always keep owners updated while they’re away. Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine because my schedule as a graduate student is flexible and varies by day. I’m often able to offer morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on my class, lab, and fieldwork schedule. I’m happy to coordinate with owners ahead of time to make sure their pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible. I’m especially available for drop in visits, dog walks, and house sitting, and I’m comfortable building pet care around feeding schedules, medication times, walks, playtime, and regular check ins. Safety and trust are very important to me, and I always want pets and owners to feel comfortable. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding routines, medication, walking preferences, crate use, litter box care, and any house rules. I make sure doors, gates, crates, and leashes are secure, and I always double check that pets are safe before I leave. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level, especially with shy, nervous, or high energy animals. I’m patient and will never force interaction if a pet needs space. I’m also happy to send regular updates, photos, and notes so owners know how their pet is doing while they’re away. For walks and drop ins, I prioritize safe handling, secure leashing, and following each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible.

“I can't say enough good things about Jaden and her amazing rover sitting service! She treated my dogs perfectly, and I felt so at ease knowing they were in such caring hands. The pictures she sent were a wonderful touch and really showed how much she connected with my pets. I highly recommend Jaden to anyone looking for a reliable and loving rover sitter!”

About: I have grown up around pets my whole life and have always loved their company. At a young age I wanted to be a veterinarian so I can learn more of animals. Even though I did not take that route in my education I still have taken care of many pets with disregards to age range or personality. Coming from someone who has experience with a pet with an illness I know how important it is to insure their health and safety. I am solely focused on their need of comfort and safety in my care . I believe open communication and direction for the care of your loved ones is very important in this role. I currently work a full-time job so my availability is not as open. I am currently open on weekends and the occasional weekdays, I will try my best to align with yours and your pets schedule. I intend to keep the best environment of safety and enjoyment wherever it may be. I will work to keep the peace and chaos in a healthy balance, whatever your pet will need.

“Jessie watched our two dogs for a couple of days while we were out of town. The power went out at night while she was here and she managed the situation very well. Our dogs looked happy and healthy upon our return. We would definitely recommend her.”

About: I have worked with pets of all types for over a decade. I’ve walked, bathed, and trained dogs for people all across the board. I’ve worked with animals with different needs, ages, and personalities and loved them all! I am really good with senior animals and have lots of experience in that area! I’m currently a full time student with a very flexible schedule! I’m free to hang out with your pets weekends, and weekdays after 4. I have a later start in the mornings so I’m free for early walks or whatever you need! I am very clean and organized and will leave your home the same or better than I found it! I am also very adaptable and can work in any space with any pet!

“Emily was awesome! Our dog immediately loved her from the moment she met her! Emily was very attentive and took her on some great, long walks. She also stayed at our house which was comforting knowing that someone was here. I will absolutely use Emily again and highly recommend her!”

About: **Hey there, fellow pet parents!** 🐾 I'm Candace, a lifelong animal lover with over 30 years of experience. My home is a zoo with 3 energetic dogs and 2 bossy farm cats. I understand the trust you place in a pet sitter, and I'm here to keep your furbabies happy and safe while you're away. I've cared for everything from horses to bearded dragons, and of course, dogs and cats. My services include minor first aid, medication, grooming, walks, and lots of playtime. Whether it's cozy cuddles or sticking to their routine, I'm here to make sure your pets feel loved and secure. You deserve peace of mind because they're not just pets—they're family. I currently run a construction company with my husband so it's easy to get away for pet potty time or walks when needed. Pretty flexible on overnights as well. I have a fenced backyard and my pets play well with others. I am able to separate pets as needed too. I can accommodate your pets needs at home as well in whatever way you require. I am always prepared for unexpected situations and will care for your pets like they're family.
