“Hannah was an absolutely perfect sitter, and we cannot wait to use her again! Our pups were genuinely happy when we came back from our trip, - you could tell they had been played with and loved on. They didn't lose any weight while we were gone and didn't seem stressed at all from our absence! All signs of great care given! Hannah communicated very well, even sending us pics and updates of our dogs, cats, and horses. Would highly recommend Hannah to anyone in need of any type of care for their pets!!”
“We were nervous to leave our 4 month old puppy for the first time over the holiday, but Stephanie has watched a lot of pups and has a dog to make our pooch feel comfortable. He did so great with her we are so happy about it. She is awesome to communicate with and a wonderful friend! She also watched our cat over the summer after he had surgery while we were on a 10 day vacation.”
“Clara had amazing communication. She was very responsive to my messages and shared photos of the pets. She is watching our fur babies and house next month and I'm sure the dogs will be excited to see her again!”
About: Hello, I have many years experience caring for four legged fur babies. I love to make the family pet feel like a pampered super star. I currently provide play dates, overnights in your home and weekends as well. I am looking forward to meeting and making plans for fun adventures!!! I provide services in your home so that your baby(ies) will be in a familiar environment to help them feel more comfortable. I want to make sure the visit(s) are great!!
About: I have been around many types of dogs and cats my whole life. I have learned to care for, be responsible for, and love them all. You can count on me to care for and treat your dog or cat family like you do, to the very best of my ability! I will happily go to your home for morning and evening care. I have a fenced backyard, and they can have the run of the house, or I could easily crate them if that is what they are comfortable with.
“We were nervous having never left our 6 animals for any prolonged period, but Lauren exceeded our expectations. She communicated with us throughout the entire time we were gone, sending us pictures and updates. Lauren was quick to respond to our message’s prior to booking, even though we contacted on such short notice before the holidays. Our kitty got sick on the tail end of our trip, she stayed longer to make sure he was ok. Lauren was even able to get our problem child (dog) onto friendly terms within day 1. Lauren is very experienced, friendly, and a great communicator, we would highly recommend her services.”
About: I have had family pets since childhood. As an adult I have always had one or two dogs at a time. I’m the friend of my friend group who is always down to watch their pets while they are out of town. I love all animals and want them all happy and safe. :) I’m currently on a job hunt so I’m extra flexible and available! I was (and hope to continue) working from home which was very helpful to be flexible to accomodate watching pets at different times throughout the week. Feel free to provide detailed instructions on the care for your pet! I understand how important routines are especially in special circumstances for some pets.
About: I have been pet sitting for several years. I have experience with young and older dogs. I can give medicine that is needed for senior dogs, and am able to walk them with extra patience. I dont mind accidents from young and old, its part of life. I can also do cats at your house. Im happy to come and feed and change boxes at anytime. I work from home, so I can be here with any pets, or make breaks to go to your house to check on your pets. I am available all day on weekends, minus the usual errands or church. I have a newer privacy fence at my home. I use baby gates at all entrances of my rooms to prevent pets from going in there if I am not in that space. I have an older home with no issue of accidents. I have a car and truck an am able to take pets for rides or travel back and forth to your home. I have several leashes if needed and I have a large crate for crating. I love to reward with snuggles and treats, so i always have treats on hand.
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.
About: I have taken care of multiple dogs and cats for family, friends, and classmates. My profession also has me working with all kinds of animals, so I am very used to working with different animals. I work on a 3 days on, 3 days off schedule, so I can work unusual days and hours at times. With this schedule I also am able to work different days each week. I constantly am providing my dog and dogs I care for with enrichment. It could be something small like spraying their tennis ball with a new smell or something complex like a new puzzle feeder. I try to constantly make them think for their treats and to help stimulate their natural senses
About: I have taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was a child. I have vast experience with anxious or nervous dogs and ones with high energy. I have cared for dogs from Chihuahuas and Dachshunds to Great Danes, Mastiffs, and Huskies and currently regularly dog sit two dogs. I have taken care of puppies as well as older dogs with special needs including two diabetic dachshunds that went blind. I also have no issue with changing diapers for dogs as needed! I am currently available any time except for Tuesdays from 1:30pm to 3pm for pet care! I don’t mind checking on pets very early or very late in the day either! I prefer to meet the client/pet prior to beginning pet sitting to ensure I can ask all necessary questions for their care. I have experience with anxious animals and am fast at picking up on each animals specific preferences.
“Cassidy took great care of our fur babies! Our normal sitter was not available this time, so of course went with another. She took the time to spend with our senior pup when she needed it the most and also gave lots of love to our kitties and cleaned their boxes without asking. Would recommend or use again if needed!”

About: I have taken care and rescued many dogs since I was 10 and I have 2 of my own. In my free time I also go and volunteer at animal shelters. I’ve bathed, walked, played, and brushed dogs of all ages as well. I am currently attending OU, and looking for between and after class pet care. I have more free time on my hands than I expected. So let me walk and watch your fur babies. I have a fenced yard back at home and I let my dogs out when needed. We go on walks every morning before it gets too hot for there feet and there bowls are never empty. If needed I can always crate them, as I have one with separation anxiety that I do the same with.
About: I have professional experience working in a pet care facility, where I cared for dogs and cats of various breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. In addition to my hands-on experience, I have completed pet care certifications that have strengthened my knowledge of animal behavior, safety, and best care practices. I am comfortable administering medications, caring for senior pets, and following specialized care instructions. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for every pet while giving owners peace of mind through regular updates and photos. I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs frequent potty breaks, exercise, medication, playtime, or extra companionship, I can accommodate their needs. I strive to keep pets on their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my highest priorities. I have a securely fenced yard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore under supervision. I also have friendly, well-socialized pets that can provide companionship for dogs who enjoy social interaction. My professional pet care experience, certifications, and medication administration experience allow me to confidently care for pets with a variety of needs. Every pet receives individualized attention, a clean and secure environment, plenty of affection, and regular updates so you always know how they’re doing during their stay.
About: Animals have been my world for as long as I can remember. What started as helping family, friends and neighbors care for everything from birds to horses eventually grew into a lifelong career. Over the past 15 years, I’ve worked as a professional kennel technician and spent six dedicated years as a pet groomer. Because of this background, I bring a wealth of hands-on expertise to pet sitting, including administering medications, managing special routines, understanding strict diet precautions, handling grooming needs, and much more. This isn't just a professional skill set for me, it's a personal one. At home, I care for my own sweet pack of senior and special needs cats and dogs who require precise daily medications, so keeping your pet's health routine perfectly on track is second nature to me. I truly believe our pets are family, and they deserve nothing less than the absolute best. I would love to give your furry best friend the expert care, safety, and deep affection they deserve while you're away! I currently work full time in ER overnight Tuesday-Thursday. This allows me to be available most days, ecspecially Friday-Monday. My husband is also off during the summer, so if your fur babies are being boarded at my house, they have 24/7 care. In my home, I have a room dedicated to animals that I board. So if you want them kept separate from my animals they can be. If you want them to have company, I have both cats and dogs that are loving and love new friends. I have a huge back yard that is treated against things like fleas/ticks and it is animal safe. I can provide crates for any size dog if needed. I have tons of dog toys, cat toys, and little pools for cooling down on hot days. I spend a lot of time making interactive fun play times for all my animals. For cats, they also have their own room with calming Sentry plug in to help create a calm environment for them. They will have their own litter boxes, toys, and every comfortable place they can lay in with lots of sunlight. My husband is off in the summers, and I work nights so I am up at night on my days off, in our home your animals have 24 hour care. As far as for care in your own home, I will care for them anyway that you normally do. I offer walks, play time, I can give them pets and hugs, I will do whatever they need to feel comfortable and safe. I can follow any specialized routine your pet may need. I also offer baths and nail trims if requested and it can be completed without stressing the animal too much. I offer these services for both cats and dogs.

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 Shawnee 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 Shawnee 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 Shawnee 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.

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.

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 .

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.
