About: My mom has had dogs and other animals all her life. I have had a cat all my life and the last 5-6 years my mom and I have be one owners of several dogs and cats. Even have had several bunnies. We are both big animal lovers. I rode horses all my school years. We have friends and family that raised goats and chickens. Animals are in our blood! Currently I’m on disability and my mom became an amputee in 2024 and is retired now so our days are pretty much free to take care of pets anytime. We already had a few “friends” we took care of so thought we would make ourselves available. My mom’s brother (my uncle) and his son moved in with us last year and they are a big help with everything. Whether it’s getting to the door to let you in or helping feed, they love animals as much as we do! Your home will be treated with the utmost respect inside and out. Messes will be cleaned. Doors will be locked, gates will be secure. Plants and gardens will be watered as well if wanted.
“Aiden made having to leave our fur babies a lot easier. She kept us updated by pictures and communication. We were nervous as it was our first time ever leaving them but she made it a lot easier by keeping us up to date the whole time. Her sweet and calm presence really made our doggies feel at home. Highly recommend her!”

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.

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.

Cat caregivers near you - Ripley
“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.”

“Jillian was very pleasant and conscientious. You can tell she loves animals. She contacted and sent pictures every day. I did not worry about my dogs with Jillian taking care of them. She did a great job.”
“I was trying to take care of my daughters strong 2 yr. old yellow Lab who I love and adore, while my daughter was out of town. I knew I needed help to walk my daughters dog and someone to play with him. I hired Vanessa and she was absolutely amazing and did an awesome job. I highly recommend her and you won't be disappointed if you hire her.”

She is a happy girl and is sound asleep from her fun day! Thank you for blessing us today Jeremiah! 5+ stars all the way!”

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.

“Carol is awesome! My little sixteen month old puppy Jazz spent an entire day with Carol and her husband. Jazz came home relaxed and seemed to have confidence she didn’t have before. She has maintained that confidence that she gained with Carol’s help. I’m forever grateful and will definitely book Carol again.”

About: I grew up surrounded by animals, so I’m completely comfortable with all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. If your dog needs a high energy run or your senior cat needs medication and gentle handling, I know exactly how to keep them safe and happy. I have worked at Shackleford Road Veterinary Clinic as a kennel tech as well. I’ll treat your pets like my own, with love and an eye for their health.

About: I have cared for many different animals over the years. This list includes cats, reptiles, fish, small dogs, medium dogs, large dogs, and xl dogs. These animals have been my own as well as friend’s, family’s, and neighbor’s, as they knew I would tend to them with the utmost care. My specialties include working with deaf, blind, anxious and senior animals. My philosophy for caring for any animal is to respect their boundaries and help them feel the most comfort possible. I am currently working at a part time work from home job, meaning I have a very flexible schedule and can come morning to evening to care for you pets. I am available to overnight care any day of the week as well. In my clients home: Check ins would include tending to anything outlined by the pet owner, and being sure to give the animal as much pets and playing as they would like. Overnight care would be the same as far as tending to the outlined instructions. Since it is overnight, if there is a certain nighttime routine it would be accomplished. Before I left I would also make sure I have picked up and cleaned up behind myself (ie. fluffing pillow cushions, throwing away trash, washing dishes, etc) In my home Care would be the same as listed above. I do not have a fenced in yard, however, there is plenty of walking space for them to enjoy being outside. I do have a yard if they just need to potty but not go on a long walk.

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 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.

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 can make sure your furbabies are well taken care of in your home while you're away and I always come prepared for unexpected situations and will care for your pets like they're family.
About: I’ve been caring for pets continuously since I was 8 years old — that’s over 50 years of hands-on experience. Growing up on a farm gave me a deep and lasting connection with animals from an early age. I learned responsibility, patience, and the importance of providing a safe, loving environment for every creature in my care. Over the years, I’ve also taken in many strays, giving them food, shelter, and the attention they desperately needed until they found their forever homes. This lifelong bond with animals has given me tremendous empathy for family pets and the people who love them. I understand how much your pet means to you and how important it is for them to feel secure, comfortable, and genuinely cared for when you’re away. Whether it’s a dog, cat, or another beloved companion, I treat every pet with the same kindness and respect I would want for my own. Today, my own dog serves as my daily assistant and constant companion. He keeps me active, grounded, and reminds me every day of the special relationship we share with our animals. This close, everyday connection helps me bring real understanding and patience to the pets I care for. I’ve cared for animals with many different personalities — from easygoing to more independent or strong-willed — and I always adapt my approach to meet their individual needs. Feeding, daily care, playtime, and health monitoring have all been part of my routine for decades. I’ve learned how to create consistent schedules, provide mental and physical enrichment, and make sure every pet feels like part of the family. My goal is always the same: to give your pet the same level of love, attention, and security they receive at home. Caring for pets is a natural and consistent part of my daily routine. I currently share my home with a dog and two cats, so I understand the importance of structure, attention, and love in keeping animals happy and healthy. I maintain a consistent feeding schedule for all my pets. Meals are served at the same times each day, which helps them feel secure and supports good digestion. I’m especially attentive to individual dietary needs — for example, my dog is currently on a carefully managed elimination diet, so I prepare and portion his meals with extra care while still keeping the cats on their own appropriate feeding routine. I also make sure my pets get plenty of activity and engagement throughout the day. My dog gets regular walks that give him both physical exercise and mental stimulation. With my two cats, I incorporate interactive play sessions using wand toys, laser pointers, and puzzle feeders to keep them active and mentally sharp. These daily activities help prevent boredom and strengthen the bond I share with each of them. Above all, I show kindness through positive reinforcement. I use praise, gentle encouragement, and rewards to build trust and confidence. Whether it’s rewarding my dog for calm behavior on walks or praising one of my cats for using their scratching post instead of the furniture, I focus on reinforcing good behavior in a loving, patient way. This approach helps pets feel safe and happy, and it’s the same method I use when caring for other people’s pets. Because I live this routine every day with my own dog and cats, I bring real, practical experience to every pet I care for on Rover. Safety and trust are the foundation of the care I provide. Whether I’m doing an overnight pet sitting stay, taking a dog for a walk, or doing a quick drop-in visit, I treat every pet with the same care and attention I give my own dog and two cats. My goal is always for your pet to feel secure, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. Building Trust from the First Meeting I believe trust starts with a calm, respectful introduction. I take time to meet your pet on their terms — letting them approach me first, using a gentle voice, and allowing them to get comfortable at their own pace. I pay close attention to their body language and personality so I can adjust my approach to what makes them feel safe. Pet Sitting (Overnight or Extended Care) When staying in your home, I maintain your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. This includes consistent feeding times, regular potty breaks, and familiar play or rest periods. I keep doors, gates, and windows secure at all times and never leave your pet unsupervised in unfamiliar situations. I also provide daily updates with photos and notes so you can see your pet is happy and safe while you’re away. Pet Activity & Walks Safety is my top priority during walks and outdoor activities. I always use a secure leash and harness (or the equipment you prefer) and remain attentive to the environment — watching for other dogs, traffic, wildlife, or anything that could startle your pet. I adjust the pace and length of the walk to your pet’s energy level and fitness. For dogs who need extra structure, I use positive reinforcement to encourage calm, polite behavior on the leash. Drop-In Visits During drop-in visits, I focus on providing everything your pet needs in the time I’m there — fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, medication if required, and some quality interaction or playtime. I always double-check that your pet is secure before I leave (doors locked, pets in safe areas) and send you a visit report with photos so you know exactly how your pet is doing. General Safety Practices I Follow I carefully follow all of your instructions regarding food, medication, routines, and any special needs. I keep emergency vet information and your contact details easily accessible at all times. I monitor your pet closely for any changes in behavior, appetite, or energy and will contact you immediately if anything seems off. I use positive reinforcement and patience to help even shy, anxious, or strong-willed pets feel relaxed and secure in my care. Because I live with pets every day, I understand how important these small details are. My experience has taught me that when pets feel safe and trusted, they’re happier — and their owners can relax knowing their beloved companions are in good hands.
About: I’ve had a dog for 90% of my life as well as horses. While gone my family would have me take care of their animals as well. People often compliment me on how well behaved my dog is at such a young age. ***UPDATE*** My dog Mika has passed due to being hit by a car. I am a full time college student and I also rodeo so everything would have to be based around my riding and school schedule. I literally take care of my sweet Akita every single day. We normally go on about 4 walks a day with 3 being about 10 minutes and the other one being a nice long walk that I don’t really time. ***UPDATE*** My dog Mika has passed due to being hit by a car. I am a full time college student and I also rodeo so everything would have to be based around my riding and school schedule. Currently live on 20 acres of land. ***UPDATE*** My dog Mika has passed due to being hit by a car.

About: My mom has had dogs and other animals all her life. I have had a cat all my life and the last 5-6 years my mom and I have be one owners of several dogs and cats. Even have had several bunnies. We are both big animal lovers. I rode horses all my school years. We have friends and family that raised goats and chickens. Animals are in our blood! Currently I’m on disability and my mom became an amputee in 2024 and is retired now so our days are pretty much free to take care of pets anytime. We already had a few “friends” we took care of so thought we would make ourselves available. My mom’s brother (my uncle) and his son moved in with us last year and they are a big help with everything. Whether it’s getting to the door to let you in or helping feed, they love animals as much as we do! Your home will be treated with the utmost respect inside and out. Messes will be cleaned. Doors will be locked, gates will be secure. Plants and gardens will be watered as well if wanted.
“Aiden made having to leave our fur babies a lot easier. She kept us updated by pictures and communication. We were nervous as it was our first time ever leaving them but she made it a lot easier by keeping us up to date the whole time. Her sweet and calm presence really made our doggies feel at home. Highly recommend her!”
