“Anna did an amazing job!!! We were out of the country and she stayed at our house. There were storms and tornado warnings and she kept us up to date and our dogs calm through it all!!! Came home to a clean house and happy fur babies!! Highly recommend her!!!”
“Mars is the best! My dog has a hard time with new people, and she came and did several meet and greets to make sure he was comfortable before sitting for him overnight for the first time. By the time she sat for him, she was getting kiss attacks, and he was sad when she left- he wanted to go with her! I am so relieved to know that my anxious guy has someone he loves that can take such good care of him when I’m away.”
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.
“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!”
“Gleris was amazing as our in home pet sitter for our two dogs! She sent daily photos and kept in touch with us during the entire time we were gone. Both of our dogs were well cared for while we were gone. Gleris is very trust worthy, and we felt very comfortable leaving our dogs in her care for 5 nights.”
“Lindsey was wonderful with our 2 cats. They are both naturally friendly and a bit demanding when it is feeding time. Lindsey was able to allow them time to play outside and keep them company every night. She has been a great sitter!”
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.
About: I’ve been taking care of all types of animals ranging from hedgehogs to special needs dogs. Never have I found a challenge that I couldn’t overcome I’m a college student with only a couple of classes every day, none of which would interfere with caring for an animal I have been put in charge of I know from personal experiences that keeping your pet in their own environment Is always better than dragging them out somewhere new, whether I’m staying the night, or just popping in a couple times during the day we’ll be best friends by the end of day 1
About: I’m a vet tech, I work with all types of animals, I can do toe nail trims, give baths, and give medications. I start vet school in the fall and am looking for extra cash I work at a vet clinic until end of July before vet school. I can do walks/house/pet sitting working around that schedule for now. For fall I would not be able to be house/pet sitting all day, but I can do before and after classes. Whatever the client needs is what I’ll do. Whether it is medications, baths, toe nail trims. Whatever routine your pet is used to, I will do in place of your absence!
“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!”
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.
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and genuinely love spending time with dogs. I am reliable, patient, and attentive, and I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. As a graduate assistant for Women’s Tennis at Oklahoma State, I have a flexible schedule outside of work and can provide dependable care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, and exercise instructions, keep a clean and secure environment, and treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own.
About: I provide so much more than just pet sitting! I strive to create a safe, loving environment where pets feel understood and cared for. I have hands-on experience with puppies, including helping with basic training, routines, and lots of patience during those high-energy stages. I’m also very empathetic and attentive, so I pick up quickly on each pet’s personality, needs, and comfort level! Whether it’s a playful puppy or a pet that needs a little extra reassurance, I make sure they feel secure, happy, and genuinely cared for while you’re away 🐾💛 I'm currently interning part time, pet care fits smoothly into my weekly routine by allowing me to plan around that schedule! I make sure to organize my days so I can consistently provide reliable care, including walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins! I provide care in my client’s home to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I’m very attentive to each pet’s needs and behavior, and I make sure they feel safe, calm, and cared for while their owner is away. I prioritize communication with the client whether that be through pictures or updates, so they can remain at ease!
About: I enjoy being outdoors and finding new trails to hike. I offer personalized care plans tailored to each furry friend’s needs. I provide daily photo and video updates for peace of mind. I am currently attending chiropractor school online! I am able to build my schedule the way I want to and tailor my time to what is important! I live near lots of trails which allows me to take daily walks and your pet to roam freely. Exercise is good for physical and mental health. I am able to keep a strict schedule if needed or simply see where the day takes us!
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 dogs since I was 13. I typically watch my family's dogs when they go on vacation. I can bathe them also. I’m currently working full time Monday-Friday but it is a work from home job. I can do early mornings and evening visits and my weekend availability is open. I am also not taking any boarding right now but i can do everything else! When I come to your home i can assure you my full attention will be on them! With my dog, they take regular bathroom breaks, and since i work at home im able to keep an eye on him.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Stillwater
We booked Chloe to watch our dog Winston our second time. She did amazing! She stayed in our home and make Winston feel comfortable and kept our house clean. She went above and beyond and I would definitely recommend booking her if you want to make sure your pet is safe and happy!
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!
Anna Claire took excellent care of our dog while we traveled. She stayed at our house overnights to make sure our dog was comfortable and less anxious. Our dog has a severe protein allergy so Anna Claire had to be careful about that. Having a vet student made us very comfortable knowing she could handle the situation if our dog had any issues. Anna Claire was easy and quick to communicate with. Highly recommend Anna Claire.
Abby took care of our pup for a week. She sent daily updates and pictures and was very responsive to texts. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing our dog was so well taken care of. When we got home our dog was happy to see us but very relaxed - it was obvious he had a relaxing week and was not stressed at all!
Vanessa has now stayed with our poms, Nox and Luna, three times. We continue to book with Vanessa because she is responsible and trustworthy, punctual, and communicates well. We know the pups are in capable hands. This time, Vanessa also had to coordinate with a second sitter to switch off midway through our absence. All of that was handled without an issue. We would definitely book with Vanessa again!
Gleris was amazing as our in home pet sitter for our two dogs! She sent daily photos and kept in touch with us during the entire time we were gone. Both of our dogs were well cared for while we were gone. Gleris is very trust worthy, and we felt very comfortable leaving our dogs in her care for 5 nights.
Abbey was the most amazing dog sitter! She took care of our new 2 pound Pomeranian… and our 100 pound German Shepherd while we went to a concert. We had only had the puppy for three days and I was a nervous wreck! Abbey arrived early and sent tons of updates and pictures. She is great with large dogs and noticed our German Shepherd was getting annoyed with the puppy- and put him in another room for a bit! I’m so thankful for her intuition and caring nature! If you need help with your furry friends… I would recommend her a million percent! Stop researching other Rover resumes and go with Abbey! Your babies will be in the best hands ever!
I'm always nervous about leaving my pup, Bodie, with a new sitter, especially for an extended period of time. Kaylee's positive attitude, expertise, and evident care for the well being of my dog made me feel comfortable leaving for 10 days. My dog sometimes has big feelings, and often needs emotional support or guidance from his human. Kaylee took the time to visit with us twice before staying over spring break, to ensure that she knew all about how to handle Bodie's needs and preferences. Kaylee sent very detailed and honest updates, with pictures that showed Bodie having such a good time! As soon as I got those first pictures of Bodie playing and snuggling, my mind was at ease that he was having a great time with Kaylee. I would definitely recommend Kaylee to my friends and their pups:)
Sierra was amazing while watching Okie! She responded promptly, carefully followed Okie’s transition to adult food while keeping an eye on her symptoms, and took her on plenty of walks. She was very respectful of our home and communicated multiple times a day, sending lots of photos, which we really appreciated. She even offered to take Okie to her grooming appointment when it got rescheduled while we were away, which meant so much to us. It truly felt like she cared for Okie as if she were her own. She saved us from having to fly with our 10-month-old puppy, we couldn’t be more grateful!

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 Stillwater 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 Stillwater 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 Stillwater 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
