Personalized care for your dog or cat - Norman
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Norman
“This was my first Rover experience. My usual dog boarding option wasn’t available so I was grasping at straws last minute. I’m so glad do found Rover but even more happy that I found Josephine. I was able to book just a few days before my leave date and everything went flawlessly. My trip was 4 days and 3 nights. Josephine was very friendly and responsive anytime I reached out from beginning of booking to the end. She sends pictures and updates every day and let me know she would do more if I would like. She was flexible and allowed my in laws to pick up since my trip took longer than expected and allowed me to drop off a few minutes earlier than scheduled time. When I got back to my fur babies they were happy and healthy. I will definitely use Josephine again and anytime she is available!! Thank you again Josephine!”
“Julie was excellent! She was quick to respond to any messages and sent so many videos, photos, and updates, which eased my mind knowing my dog was happy and doing well while I was away. As soon as I got him home, he seemed like his normal self and was not at all anxious or upset (which is a big change from previous boarding situations when it seemed to take at least a day for him to get back to normal). It was obvious my dog was well cared for by Julie, and I look forward to having her care for him in the future.”
“I booked Angel to board my Cane Corso, Kane, and she was fantastic from start to finish. She responded quickly to all my messages, and the whole process—booking, drop-off, and pick-up—was super easy. Angel took excellent care of Kane and even sent me a couple of pictures of him so I knew he was having a good time. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Angel again—5 stars all the way!”
“I can’t even put into words how much we appreciated tails and scales. We were super anxious to leave our giant baby with someone, but Brian and his wife made us feel so comfortable and kept us up to date with pictures. I am so grateful for them, and to have some place so lovely for our big baby.”
“Lynn is the best! She is the only sitter we would ever take our fur babies to for boarding. We know they are happy, safe, and well cared for at Lynn's! I cannot recommend Lynn enough!”
“Norma always takes such great care of our two pups. She always has someone home so they get to be out of a kennel all day and she lets them get all the snuggles they need. They have a doggie door and a massive backyard for the outdoor lovers. She is constantly sending photos and updates and truly loves taking care of peoples fur babies. I keep coming back because she and her family are so awesome! Highly highly recommend!”
“My dog, Echo, was very excited to go to Yukie’s house again. I have complete peace of mind knowing that Yukie takes such great care of her and sends daily updates with pictures.”
“We left our two dogs (Chihuahua & French Bulldog), with April, her family and her own dog this past weekend, and we couldn't be happier. We did a meet and greet ahead of the stay, and our boys explored and got to meet everyone. April provided a wonderful, welcoming environment. She communicated well throughout the weekend and sent some snaps, putting our minds at ease. April noted she paid special attention when the weather was warmer outside not to let our frenchie play outside too long. (Which is always a plus knowing someone is giving breed-specific attention with a frenchie) It’s clear they were well-cared for and entertained the entire stay. It’s such a relief to know our boys were in such good hands and had so much fun. We will definitely be booking with April again!”
“Megan did a wonderful job taking care of my high energy dog! Her dog Elsa was sweet and friendly with my dog. Megan has a great set-up in a beautiful part of the countryside outside of Norman. Definitely worth the drive. I highly recommend Megan!”
“Tara was extremely kind and understanding of my situation and was more than willing to take in Alastor on a short notice. She sent me several updates and he came home so tired and relaxed and you could just see all the love he was given. Thank you.”
“I could not have asked for a better experience! Lawrene was very responsive and my Pixie was very comfortable in her care and came home happy. I hope that we are able to rebook in the future. Thank you!”
“Jaine was super accommodating in agreeing to watch my two bernedoodles at the last minute. She welcomed me into her home and her husband and son were already playing with my girls when I left. I received multiple photos and updates! I would definitely use Jaine again!”
“Niko is a wonderful sitter. My pup stayed with her for a week. She was very communicative and sent pictures throughout his stay. He got to play with her dogs which was such a treat for him! I'm fairly certain he would've stayed if I had let him. If you are looking for a loving and caring sitter Niko is the one!”

“Josephine was great loved the pictures i received and notes on each visit i was able to relax and enjoy my trip and not worry about my kitties will book her again in the future”
About: I have helped take care of my friend’s and neighbor’s dogs as well as have one of my own who I raised since she was a puppy! I am currently a student, but have no classes this summer and am able to be flexible with my schedule and accommodate most times needed. I have a fenced in backyard and live in a walkable neighborhood with 2 parks where your dog can explore as well as a golden retriever who is super friendly with all dogs!
“She did such a great job checking in on my cats! I could tell they were well cared for and comfortable while I was away, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Absolutely wonderful like always. McKenna is very thorough and takes very good care of my cats. I will absolutely continue booking with her. I highly recommend if you need someone trustworthy and reliable to watch your pets to book with her.”
“Excellent service and communication. Julie took very good care of our cat and house. Sent lots of pictures on a daily basis so that was nice to see how our little guy was doing.”
“Breanna was great and my cats seemed to love her. She did everything that I asked for and more. The reports and pictures she provided gave me peace of mind which is priceless making me able to enjoy my vacation that much more I would highly recommend her.”
“Rachael was available for us on short notice, and she was great to meet us before our trip. Her drop-in care for Mama, our cat, was great. The pics of Mama Rachael sent to us during our trip were appreciated.”
About: While most of my experience has been with dogs, I've also spent time caring for cats for friends and family and know that every cat is different. Whether your cat is playful and social or prefers their own space, I'll make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and plenty of attention based on their personality. My goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible and make sure they feel comfortable while you're away.
“Matthew was so great to our two pups! He stopped by three times a day to walk and feed them. Always on time, sent pictures, and took wonderful care of them. It was great not having to worry about them while we were away!”
“Teresa, was very good with our two cats, she took time to play with them and was quick to respond when we had questions about how they where doing. If you need a sitter, we would recommend her.”
“AMAZING!! would allow her to watch any fur babies you have and wouldn’t stress at all. Very communicative and will do anything you ask as well. also seems very comfortable around bigger dogs and knows how to handle high energy dogs. GREAT!!”
“They treated my two kitties with great care and love. They saw that the windstorm had blown stuff in the pool and endeavored to clean that out as well! I will always check with them and even adjust my schedule if necessary to care for my cats!”
“Jessica took such great care of our kitty while we were on vacation. She sent me updates and pictures every day and it was very much appreciated! She was the best and we will definitely use her again in the future!”
“CiCi did a wonderful job checking on our fur babies. The kitties never came out of their hiding spots, but she took pics of them and sent the pics to us. Thank you for everything!!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Norman
About: I have experience caring for the pets of friends and family, and I always treat every animal like part of my own family. I’m also comfortable with any simple health care tasks. For the best, most personalized care, I only take on one dog at a time, or multiple dogs from the same family. I’m home full time as a stay at home mom, so your babies will get lots of love and supervision. My husband is usually home as well, so there’s almost always someone here with your dog! I have a fully fenced yard and currently no pets of my own. I also have a happy little human who loves running around and playing with dogs! If you prefer your dogs to have space from kids, that’s no problem, I’m happy to keep them separated! I’ll also follow your instructions carefully to make sure they’re feeling safe and loved while you’re away! I also provide plenty of pictures and updates so you’ll see how they’re enjoying their day!
“Brian was great from the jump, he was very professional, understanding and seemed to have amazing patience with our 90lb hyperactive lab Brody. He was very attentive and provided several updates through out the day with pictures. 10/10 very highly recommend, very greatful to have come across his profile and appreciate him and his wife’s services, We will definitely be booking again!”
“My family and I were going to Universal Studios for 2 days…tickets bought, pet sitter confirmed. Then Mother Nature dropped a winter storm and our pet sitter was stuck in Texas. GABRIEL CAME THROUGH in the clutch! Not only did he agree to watch my baby, Simba, literally the next 2 days, but he was sooo accommodating! Gabriel sent pictures throughout both days…walks ✔️ naps ✔️ snuggling ✔️ Simba came home happy & tired both days! I can’t thank Gabriel enough for the last minute assist and for taking such good care of Simba! ??”
“Alexander is our go to for doggy daycare. He is great with my dogs and takes such special care of them. They come home from each stay exhausted from playing their hearts out. It’s obvious that they stay active and engaged while in his care. He always keeps me updated and responds quickly. We are lucky to have him!”
“Our dogs had a great day with Norma and friends! They were relaxed and happy when we picked them up. Norma sent us photo updates to reassure us that our babies were in good hands. Thank you so much! See you next time!!”
“Fudge had an absolute blast! I would recommend Jamey to anyone, I loved getting all the updates and hearing about his day when picked up. He also was very tired when coming home which only shows just how much fun he had!”
About: My motto is that it's my responsibility to make sure that each dog feels the most comfortable, loved, and most importantly safe in the short time I have them. Every day that I'm with your pup, I keep that motto at the forefront of my mind. I know how important dogs are to our lives, so it's my duty to make sure that your pup gets to experience the same kind of love and care that they're used to at home. I'm an out of state college student who has three larger dog breeds at home that I miss so much. And I’ve grown up around dogs all my life so making pups as happy as I can and taking care of them just come second nature for me! Although I've been a lifelong dog lover, my experience with pups is much more far-reaching than that. I recently have over 2 years of volunteering experience at a no-kill animal shelter called “City of Norman Animal Welfare” and I’m hoping to take my lived experience and activism with animals into a summer job. I've worked with dogs big and small and loved taken care of all of them equally. I've also been trained in Pet First Aid and am experienced administering medication. When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It's a great way to make sure that we're all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup, their needs, and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it's always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pup tick! Finally, I just love meeting new dogs!! like to get down on their level to show them that I'm a welcome presence here to make friends, and I'm sure we'll be best buddies in no time at all. I know how difficult it is to be away from your best friend, so communication is the name of my game. I'll make sure to send plenty of regular updates with accompanying pictures so you can see just how much fun your pup and I are having together <3 Note: Might do cats in the future, but as I’ve gotten older I’ve grown allergic so Benadryl is a must. I am currently working an internship at a museum with very flexable hours for the summer giving me lots of time to play and walk your pups! With the internship I just need to work 12 hours a week but can come and go from the museum as I like and can take an hour off for lunch, work only 2 days a week, only work early mornings, it is truely amazing having such an independent schedule, which is why I thought dog sitting & walking would be a great idea. Would love to do boarding/doggy daycare, like I said in my bio, I miss my dogs at home so much so giving some weekend love to yours won’t be a problem. But I do live in an apartment and having any animal for longer than a week without having them registered with the building would be against my lease, so I cannot do super long sleepovers :( My entire apartment complex is fenced in but because theres other people they would be on a leash, but theres PLENTY of grass to go potty and frolic. We also have a large yard in the center of the apartment complex where they can run and stretch their legs off leash. While all dogs are outside on or off leash they will NEVER leave my sight regardless of have a history of running away or not. Love playing fetch with dogs and rewarding good behavoir with lots of treats. (Dietary concerns considered) I drive a toyota highlander SUV with plenty of space for transporting your pups and making sure they’re secure and totally safe. Just like watching your dogs transporting them should be done with the utmost care and I have a squeaky clean drivng record. I currently do not have a crate at my apartment, but dogs generally feel most comfortable in their own bedding especially in a new unfamilar environment, if you’d allow me to bring it from your home and return it with your pet. There’s plenty of space in the apartment, but I’d only sit about three large dogs at a time to allow plenty of playtime space or incase they get the zoomies. Dog beds or crates can be in the livingroom or my bedroom wherever your pet is most comfortable sleeping. I am also comfortable washing dogs after having multiple sessions with them to gauge temperment. A lot of dogs get anxious with baths and I am more then comfortable handling that and have multiple times in the past, but I do not need to put myself in harms way dealing with aggressive untrained dogs. Nonetheless I understand that for a lot of middle aged dog parents bathing dogs is tedious and can hurt your back, so I am happy to provide a clean pup for an additional tip!

“This was our first time using Rover. Josephine was great with Ranger. He bonded immediately with her. Josephine did a great job letting us know how Ranger was doing and sent photos. We definitely will use Josephine again to watch Ranger.”
About: I started volunteering at veterinary clinics in middle school because I’ve always had such a big heart for serving and caring for animals. I rescued my terrier/lab mix as a puppy, and she is very lovable and fully convinced she’s human. I’ve also grown up caring for very large family dogs, from Great Pyrenees and pit bulls to golden retrievers, so I truly love pets of all shapes, sizes, and energy levels! I also have experience caring for cats, birds, guinea pigs, and other pets through both personal experience and helping family and friends with their animals. As a recent OU graduate and former collegiate cheerleader, I’m dependable, active, and love giving pets lots of attention, care, playtime, and exercise. I’ll always treat your pets like they’re my own! During the summer, I’ll be dedicating my time, energy, and lots of love to caring for your pets! I recently graduated from OU, so before starting my full-time career, I’m excited to spend my days giving pets the attention, playtime, exercise, and care they deserve. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to be dependable, attentive, and fully present for your pets throughout the day. I live in a very safe, pet-friendly environment with access to a dog park, walking trails, and a spacious, cozy interior where pets can relax, play, and feel comfortable. At the same time, I know pets feel most secure in familiar spaces, so whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours, my goal is always to create a loving, calm, and trustworthy environment where they feel safe, happy, and cared for like family.
About: Hi there! My name is Claire, and my husband Martin and I share our home with our two fur babies: Cali, 9, and Kira, 7. We're a team when it comes to caring for your pets–while I'm available full-time, Martin helps outside his working hours, so your furry friend will always have extra hands and hearts for love, attention, and play. Our home features a fully fenced in yard, plenty of dog beds and toys, and spaces for both energetic fun and quiet relaxation. Additionally, we offer two medium-sized crates if your pet needs to be crated (as requested), as well as spacious accommodations where pets can be separated if needed. Your pup(s) will feel right at home with us, enjoying a safe, engaging, and loving environment like a home away from home. We can't wait to spoil your fur babies! I provide full-time care, with my husband helping outside his working hours, so your furry friend will always have supervision and attention when at their home away from home. Our fully fenced yard, cozy dog beds, and variety of toys create a safe and engaging environment for pets to play or relax. We also offer crates and spacious accommodations for separation if needed, ensuring every pet feels comfortable, safe, and at home.
“Austin was truly amazing! This was my first time ever leaving my baby Hades anywhere and Austin made sure to keep me informed and he was very communicative! He eased my nervousness and took such good care of Hades! if you need a sitter for your baby I definitely recommend Austin! He will be the only sitter I will ever use! Thank you again Austin so much hades had such a blast!”
About: I specialize in accepting single boardings at my home as well as short annd long antays in your home. I stay day and night thru out. I’m a full-time professional sitter, and when I commit to your pets and your home, I’m all in. I don’t just swing by to scoop food and dash — I stay overnight, follow your routines, and make sure your pets feel calm, safe, and genuinely cared for the entire time you’re away. They get love, attention, and consistency — and you get real peace of mind. This isn’t a gig to me. It’s what I do. And I do it with heart. I have plenty of experience with large breeds — the kind that some sitters might shy away from. I don’t breed discriminate, and I know that “big” doesn’t mean “bad.” In fact, some of my most loyal cuddle buddies have outweighed me! I absolutely adore the pitties, rotties, and other gentle giants — they’ve got big heads, big hearts, and a soft spot in mine. That said, I do prioritize safety — for everyone involved. I’m confident, calm, and respectful in my approach, and I appreciate open, honest communication about your pet’s temperament, routines, and needs. I know it’s a big deal to trust someone with your fur babies and your home. I take that trust seriously. I treat your space with care, keep things clean and secure, and most importantly, I make sure your pets feel seen, safe, and loved. Whether your dog needs someone to curl up with at night or your cat needs their routine followed to the letter, I’m here for it. I’ll meet them where they are — playful, shy, anxious, spoiled, senior, or sassy. My goal is simple: when you walk back through that door, your pets are relaxed, happy, and barely noticed you left.! I dedicate my entire schedule to caring for animals, which means your pet gets my full attention, flexibility, and consistent care. Being in their familiar space dramatically reduces the stress and trauma that new surroundings can trigger. I look at it like their very own staycation! My goal is to keep your pets in their normal routine while focusing on safe, stimulating and loving care. All the while providing you with peace of mind. I take great pride in my integrity — it’s non-negotiable. Doing the right thing, even when no one’s watching, isn’t just a value; it’s how I operate every day. You, your babies, and your home deserve nothing less than my full commitment and care.
“We had another great experience with Julie! My dog, Rosie, loves her so much that she was pulling me out of the car to run inside. Julie sent photo and video updates throughout the day, and was really great at communicating. She was also super accommodating with what time I could drop off and pick up, because I didn’t know exactly what time I would be there. Will definitely book again!”
About: I've consistently taken care of animals for over 30 years. Feeding, caring, loving and training dogs for friends, family and neighbors has been an honor and a pleasure. I especially love senior dogs and am skilled at training puppies. I would love the opportunity to exercise your dog in solo or group sessions! I frequently visit local hiking trails and dog parks, so if your pet likes adventure then I can accommodate. Multiple dogs welcome! I am reliable, safety conscious and available for a free meet and greet so you can judge for yourself! Just send me a message to coordinate a convenient time. My energetic 6 year old daughter is home on Thursdays through Sunday morning. I am available for my services 7 days a week! This is my sole focus, so I am very available for your pet's needs. I have a large fenced yard with one dog to keep your pet company. She is a cheerful and energetic friend to all. I will send photos and updates and provide GPS location for our walks and adventures.
“Vivian was incredible. She was super welcoming and spoke with us before to explain she has a dog and the disposition of her dog. Sasha loved her and would highly recommend her! Best experience 100%”

“Marinna was very consistent and reliable so I was able to relax while away from Luna. She also provided daily updates after each walk to say how it went which was very reassuring and fun to read. Great communication and fully trustworthy; I definitely recommend her!”
“Amazing! It was so quick and easy to set up. I love the updates and pictures. My girls came home all smiles and that means everything to me! Happy pups. Thank you for the wonderful walk!”

I don’t know how, but I’ve never met a dog who wasn’t okay with me. I’m excited to feed, walk and play with your pets! I’ve never had any problems.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the past 8 years. I go to my family members houses to take care of their pets, And I love taking my dogs and child for walks and hikes. I am a stay at home mom with my one year old child. So I am always free. I take my own dogs on walks and hikes all the time with my daughter. I would love to add more I have a big fenced in yard With 2 dogs and one cat. And I have 1 year old child. I have a 4 bedroom 2 bathroom house so it’s big enough for everybody including your pets. I am a huge animal lover. And so is my husband. I have rescued animals for the past 8 years.
About: I've always loved animals and have been around dogs my whole life. I have an elderly dog, Shiloh, who I've had since he was a puppy, so I've experienced everything from training and puppy care to caring for a senior dog as he's gotten older. We also have another dog, Willow, that's just a few years younger than him, and I've helped train and care for her as well. For the past 10 years, I've helped friends, family, and neighbors by pet sitting, dog walking, and caring for their pets while they're away. I've worked with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each pet unique. As a student-athlete, I'm responsible, dependable, and great at managing my time. I know pets are family, and I'll treat yours like they're my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away, and I'll always keep you updated with photos and messages. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I've grown up helping care for animals and currently help care for my own dogs (and gecko). During the summer, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and overnight stays. During the school year, I balance classes and volleyball, so my schedule can be a little busier, especially during the season and when traveling. However, I plan my schedule carefully and only accept bookings that I know I can fully commit to. When I'm caring for a pet, I make sure they receive the attention, exercise, love, and consistency they deserve. Whether it's a walk, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making them feel comfortable while their owners are away. When caring for your pet, my goal is to make them feel as comfortable and loved as possible while you're away. I know how important our pets are, and I would treat yours like they're part of my own family. I'll follow your pet's normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medications, and any special instructions. Beyond the basics, I make it a priority to spend quality time with them through playtime, cuddles, exercise, or simply keeping them company, depending on what they enjoy most. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal, so I'll provide regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter environment, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for until you return.
About: I have about a years worth of professional dog care experience as a canine handler. I distributed and managed medications and was certified in dog and cat CPR outside of professional experience. I grew up on a farm with multiple animals, including three dogs. i am currently unemployed and not in school so my availability is completely open throughout the week. weekends and overnights are included in that as well. im unable to bring pets to my apartment due to pet restrictions on the property but im happy to come to your home wherever you are! i’m capable of handling big, and hyperactive dogs
About: I've worked and rescued dogs since I was a child. I understand a dogs need for routine, feeding schedules, and walking schedules. I've worked with multiple dogs who have different schedules or needs. I've worked with dogs who have been abused and have to avoid certain triggers (other dogs, construction work, certain genders). I've walked dogs who refuse to potty unless you walk and stop at certain favorite spots. No request is too big or too large. I'm currently back in school for health information technology. I'm a virtual student with flexibility anytime. I'm an open book. If you have any questions just ask. In my clients home I aim to keep things as consistent as possible. The pet is already missing their mom or dad. Everything else should be as routine as possible.
About: My friends and family always trusted me to take care of their animals ever since I was little I would babysit their pets and sometimes their children. I love animals and pay close attention to their needs Pet care fits perfectly into my routine as it is something I want to pursue. I am available at any time of the day and would be more then happy to walk/ take care of your pet. I have a snake and two cats. I grew up with big dogs my whole life so having a snake and cats are different but the love is the same. They are well fed and well loved i make sure they have toys to play with,scratching posts and occasional treats
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 14. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. During my gap year, I walked dogs for three different families and stayed overnight at two homes to provide full time care. I’m reliable, patient, and always treat every pet like my own. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine. During my gap year, I worked for five different families and regularly stayed overnight, walked dogs, and bathed them, so I’m very used to making pets a part of my daily schedule. I’m currently a freshener at the University of Oklahoma, which gives me plenty of flexibility to spend time with your pets. I have a puppy back at home! I had to potty train, train and walk her. She is currently not in Oklahoma so I would love to walk or watch your pets!
“Luke (Dog Walker!!) is a very amiable gentleman. I could count on him to pickup and return Cody for the 30 minute period. It's obvious he likes dogs, and Cody gets excited to see him when we open the door. I feel so much relief knowing I can count on Luke to exercise my dog since I am unable to.”
About: I've consistently taken care of animals for over 30 years. Feeding, caring, loving and training dogs for friends, family and neighbors has been an honor and a pleasure. I especially love senior dogs and am skilled at training puppies. I would love the opportunity to exercise your dog in solo or group sessions! I frequently visit local hiking trails and dog parks, so if your pet likes adventure then I can accommodate. Multiple dogs welcome! I am reliable, safety conscious and available for a free meet and greet so you can judge for yourself! Just send me a message to coordinate a convenient time. My energetic 6 year old daughter is home on Thursdays through Sunday morning. I am available for my services 7 days a week! This is my sole focus, so I am very available for your pet's needs. I have a large fenced yard with one dog to keep your pet company. She is a cheerful and energetic friend to all. I will send photos and updates and provide GPS location for our walks and adventures.

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was born! I have an energy that dogs and kids love and I have the patience and energy for everyone from puppies to seniors. I’m a senior at OU this year and have a much lighter course load than previous years. I would love to fill it with taking care of your pets! I miss my pets back at home and I would love to give your pets lots of cuddles and exercise when you can’t. I am very available Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. I have some availability on Fridays. I have pet sat in my own home and others’ many times. I always respect the person’s space and dog’s routine, I know how vital routine and consistency is for dogs, especially when their person isn’t home, and I am great at adapting to their needs.
About: I’m pretty active so if you need a hiker/jogger type to keep up with your crazy dog you’ve found the right person, but if your dog is more of a chill out type that’s cool too! I’m a student so my class schedule can vary widely, but overall I have a lot of free time. It’s easy for me to schedule out walks and drop ins with pretty minimal notice. I like to provide a safe, calm energy that most dogs get along with really well. I have experience with fearful dogs, aggression issues, and no-other-dogs types.

“This was my first Rover experience. My usual dog boarding option wasn’t available so I was grasping at straws last minute. I’m so glad do found Rover but even more happy that I found Josephine. I was able to book just a few days before my leave date and everything went flawlessly. My trip was 4 days and 3 nights. Josephine was very friendly and responsive anytime I reached out from beginning of booking to the end. She sends pictures and updates every day and let me know she would do more if I would like. She was flexible and allowed my in laws to pick up since my trip took longer than expected and allowed me to drop off a few minutes earlier than scheduled time. When I got back to my fur babies they were happy and healthy. I will definitely use Josephine again and anytime she is available!! Thank you again Josephine!”
“Julie was excellent! She was quick to respond to any messages and sent so many videos, photos, and updates, which eased my mind knowing my dog was happy and doing well while I was away. As soon as I got him home, he seemed like his normal self and was not at all anxious or upset (which is a big change from previous boarding situations when it seemed to take at least a day for him to get back to normal). It was obvious my dog was well cared for by Julie, and I look forward to having her care for him in the future.”
“I booked Angel to board my Cane Corso, Kane, and she was fantastic from start to finish. She responded quickly to all my messages, and the whole process—booking, drop-off, and pick-up—was super easy. Angel took excellent care of Kane and even sent me a couple of pictures of him so I knew he was having a good time. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Angel again—5 stars all the way!”
“I can’t even put into words how much we appreciated tails and scales. We were super anxious to leave our giant baby with someone, but Brian and his wife made us feel so comfortable and kept us up to date with pictures. I am so grateful for them, and to have some place so lovely for our big baby.”
“Rudolph was absolutely the best pet sitter I could have asked for. From the very beginning he was so friendly, professional, and incredibly accommodating with everything I needed for my dogs. I am extremely picky and cautious about who I trust with my fur babies, so leaving them with someone new made me nervous at first. But Rudolph made the entire experience so comfortable and stress free for me. He kept me updated the whole time with messages, pictures, and little check ins that truly showed how much he cared about my dogs and their wellbeing. Seeing how happy, relaxed, and cared for they were while I was away meant everything to me. It was obvious they were getting lots of love and attention, not just being watched. When I picked them up they were so happy, comfortable, and clearly well taken care of. That alone told me I made the right choice. I honestly could not have asked for a better experience and I’m so thankful I trusted him. Rudolph went above and beyond in every way and I will definitely be a recurring customer from now on. Thank you so much again for taking such amazing care of my babies!”
“Lynn is the best! She is the only sitter we would ever take our fur babies to for boarding. We know they are happy, safe, and well cared for at Lynn's! I cannot recommend Lynn enough!”
“This was my second stay with Rover, and I'm glad I gave it a second chance. Not to mention how absolutely flawless Okee's stay with Sheri was. I got lots of pictures, and updates. Sheri is quick with responding and attentive to you and your fur babies needs. Thank you guys so much!! - Bree”
“My dog, Echo, was very excited to go to Yukie’s house again. I have complete peace of mind knowing that Yukie takes such great care of her and sends daily updates with pictures.”
“We left our two dogs (Chihuahua & French Bulldog), with April, her family and her own dog this past weekend, and we couldn't be happier. We did a meet and greet ahead of the stay, and our boys explored and got to meet everyone. April provided a wonderful, welcoming environment. She communicated well throughout the weekend and sent some snaps, putting our minds at ease. April noted she paid special attention when the weather was warmer outside not to let our frenchie play outside too long. (Which is always a plus knowing someone is giving breed-specific attention with a frenchie) It’s clear they were well-cared for and entertained the entire stay. It’s such a relief to know our boys were in such good hands and had so much fun. We will definitely be booking with April again!”
“Megan did a wonderful job taking care of my high energy dog! Her dog Elsa was sweet and friendly with my dog. Megan has a great set-up in a beautiful part of the countryside outside of Norman. Definitely worth the drive. I highly recommend Megan!”
“Tara was extremely kind and understanding of my situation and was more than willing to take in Alastor on a short notice. She sent me several updates and he came home so tired and relaxed and you could just see all the love he was given. Thank you.”
“Jaine was super accommodating in agreeing to watch my two bernedoodles at the last minute. She welcomed me into her home and her husband and son were already playing with my girls when I left. I received multiple photos and updates! I would definitely use Jaine again!”
“Genella was great. She kept me updated on how Southern was doing. In the past when I have boarded him, he is stressed out for a couple days when he gets home. He wasn’t like that this time. I know he felt comfortable there. I highly recommend!”
“Ashley is the absolute best! I routinely leave my boxer in her care and have always had a perfect experience. She sends daily updates with plenty of pictures. She treats my dog like her own and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable place for their pet to stay.”
