“Our dog really seemed to enjoy her time here! We received daily pictures of her hanging out with her new friends. The backyard is the perfect set-up for little dogs. We felt confident she was being well taken care of.”
About: I have been around pets all my life. I grew up on a farm with several different animals. Our family favorite has always been dogs. Now, I share that enjoyment with my kids. They love being around dogs too! We enjoy walking our own dogs and playing with them. Your pet would have a loving environment with lots of attention with us! I am a stay at home mom. So, currently, I have plenty of time to schedule pet care. Please let me know when your pet needs some TLC!) We have a fenced back yard with room for dogs to go out and stretch and take care of other business:-) We have two dogs that can easily stay with family while we watch your fur baby, or our little dog, can stay to give your dog company. We will be happy to play fetch or go on walks as well.
“Andrea was great and professional through out the whole process of taking care of our boys. She sent many updates with pictures and videos, was responsive and had a big yard for them to play. Great experience overall.”
“Hayley and her family were absolutely AMAZING. One of the best dog sitters on Rover. Her experience with rescues and fosters made me so comfortable leaving my dog with her. She made sure my dog was well loved, walked, and taken care of. Constant pictures and videos kept me up to date. She responds so quickly. 100% recommend her to everyone.”
“Abigail is the best dog sitter I know! Her family is so welcoming! Abigail makes you dog feel like he’s at home! My dog gets so excited when I turn on her street, he can’t wait to see her! She is the best!”
“Mary Kathryn is an amazing sitter! We left our 2 dogs with her for just over a week and received updates and a bunch of pictures, which we really enjoyed getting. She did have some other dogs at the home during our stay, and from the photos, my boys really enjoyed the time! I will 10000% be rebooking with Mary Kathryn the next time I need a sitter for when I need to travel.”
“Amazing pet sitter! 🐾 Great communication, updates with photos, and my pet was happy and well cared for. It gave me total peace of mind while I was away. I would definitely book again!”
“This was our second time having our dog Penny stay with Jin & Weiliang. They are so good with keeping us updated throughout the day with lots of photos and videos that we feel very comfortable leaving her with them! This time around, we had to last minute extend her stay due to travel mishaps on our end and they were so accommodating. We recommend them for anyone looking for a safe place for their pets!”
“Rocksy got along great with Susanne and her furry friends. We had to schedule last minute with a late evening drop off and pickup and Susanne was very accommodating. Great socialization and exercise, and responsive communication!”
“Susan was wonderful from the very beginning. From our initial introduction, it was clear how caring and attentive she is, and my dog was immediately comfortable going with her. She sent regular update photos throughout the day, which was so reassuring and really put my mind at ease. It meant a lot knowing my dog was happy, safe, and well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Thank you so much for taking care of our dog on such short notice. We were nervous about leaving her, as she's usually looked after by family members or a trusted pet sitter. This time, we had to find someone quickly. You were so kind to keep us informed throughout the time we were away and for sending us pictures. She was so comfortable with you that when I picked her up, she wasn't in any hurry to leave. Her comfort and happy face told me she was in good hands! We loved the nice card with some of her pictures! Thank you again, and if we ever need to leave her again, we will definitely come to you first.”
“Stephanie & David and their family were wonderful sitters! They took care of our pup like she was their own. We received lots of updates and pictures. They were very attentive to special instructions and I knew she was well taken care of!”
“Betty seemed to be well cared for. As a very timid rescue, Betty has a hard time being away from home. We were glad that we found someone to love on her while we were visiting family.”
“Best of the best! Victoria is excellent with my 2 boys, and goes above and beyond when I sometimes add in another family dog. They send lots of pics and the dogs always come home happy. Highly recommend!”
“Diana is the best. My three spoiled Schnauzers had the best time and felt the genuine love that they provided. Absolutely hands down the best provider. Definitely will use Diana again.”
“Ann was very sweet and made my dogs feel welcome as she provided a safe and comfortable place for the pets boarding. Everything went well and we had no issues so I can look forward to using her services again and feel comfortable recommending her. Thanks you.”
“Thanks Again...This is our second time having Aimee care for Lilly. I appreciated Aimee's heart to make Lilly feel safe and welcome. She even reached out to find out if Lilly sleeps on the bed or on the floor in her bed. 😊We will definitely see Aimee and Remie (her pet) again.!!!”
“Gayle is wonderful! From doggy park to special nutritious dinners made for the pups, she is so good with them! My little Chugs and Tessie had a wonderful time and we found our new pet sitter!🐾💛”

“Cheryl was great and the fact that my very timid cat allowed herself to be petted is an added bonus. Cheryl was timely with updates and photos. All around very good experience with her!”
“Alicia has been very attentive and gentle with my cats who are both shy cats. she gives them space when needed and play interact with them when they want. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter !”
“Sarah took great care or my kitty and helped trouble shoot when I accidentally made it difficult for her to get in the house. I really appreciated the communication and extra effort.”
“Natalie took amazing care of our cats over 4 days and is the best! The kitties definitely had the best care and we will absolutely be using Natalie again the next time we are out of town.”
“Meg was phenomenal. She went above and beyond what was expected, playing laser tag with my two cats, brushing them, turning the water on at the sink for the one who thinks she is high maintenance, even bringing in a package of the cats' food while we were gone. I am sure she provides a higher level of care than many of her Rover peers but surprisingly asks for less. I highly recommend her as she is accountable and genuine in all respects with her pet sitting service.”
“Caleb is amazing! He offered a meet and greet prior to our booking. After explaining my cat is skittish, Caleb still wanted to see Charlie, attempted to greet him, but respected his personal space! I booked an impromptu overnight and Caleb was available for a drop in and he even brought in my garbage can! I appreciate Caleb and look forward to our continued partnership!”
“Hope is super sweet and very reliable. She communicates well and my doggo loves when she visits. Will definitely continue to use her services. Thank you for everything Hope!”
“Emma did a wonderful job watching my 3 senior cats for a week (one of which required daily medication). I know some folks think cats are easier than dogs, but mine do require a bit of extra attention and care. She sent me lots of pictures ensuring they were in good hands while I was gone. Once I got back, the house (including litter boxes) were in good order. She also helped keep all my outdoor plants alive in this heat! She is definitely my first choice for taking care of furbabies.”
“Claire was so great with our kitty. She was super responsive and kind, and our cat was happy when we got home from vacation. I would have Claire take care of him again!”
About: What sets me apart is how seriously I take caring for your pet—I treat them like they’re my own. I have a background working as a pharmacy technician and EMS training, so I’m very attentive, reliable, and comfortable handling situations that require extra care or quick thinking. I’m experienced with both puppies and senior pets, whether that means helping with basic routines and potty training or giving medications and moving at a slower, more comfortable pace. I also make it a priority to keep you updated with pictures and messages, so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. Honestly, animals are a huge part of my life, so pet care fits into my routine really naturally. I love being around them, and I actually plan my days in a way that lets me give pets the time, attention, and consistency they need. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, it never feels like a chore—it’s something I genuinely enjoy. Making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away is always my priority. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. During drop-in visits, I make sure they’re fed, have fresh water, get potty breaks, and of course plenty of attention and playtime. For walks, I make sure they get safe, structured exercise at a pace that fits their energy level. I’m very attentive to each pet’s needs, whether that’s giving medications, working on basic puppy routines, or taking extra time with senior pets who need a slower, gentler approach. I also respect your home, keep everything clean, and follow any instructions closely. I always send updates and pictures so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.
“Enrique did a fantastic job keeping an eye on our fur babies. They seemed very happy. We were happy with all the updates and communication he provided. We will definitely be reaching out in the future for dog sitting again, thank you Enrique.”
“Sarah did such a wonderful job with my cats. I realized how much they loved her when I saw them sitting at the front door waiting for when they thought it was her coming in. She followed my directions to a T and made sure I came home to a clean house which was much appreciated!”
“Susan is a very kind and caring cat sister! She is well organized and stands behind her confirmed visits and times! You can depend on her. She will do a great job for you, and send pics of everything during her visits! It’s great to have confidence in a pet sitter while you are on vacation! We are very happy with Rover and how easy it was to use the app!”
“Finding someone who will love and take excellent care of your fur babies is hard, but Judi has done that. She did 4 drop in visits for my 4 cats and administered insulin shots to one of them. I received updates and pictures after every visit. I was at peace while I was away knowing they were in great hands.”
About: Since I was a young child I have had cats and dogs galore to watch since I was homeschooled. I also was paid to watch my grandparents 10 dogs and numerous catsl I myself have 2 beautiful cats named Binks and Yoda. I have always loved animals and will always keep your pet active! I am currently going to school at Tulsa welding school but I’ll only need 2 days out of the week to go to school at night which gives me plenty of time to keep your pets occupied! I always keep doors closed to places that might be harmful to your pet. And I will always follow your instructions to the letter because I understand that you have rules set in place for your pets. I also am really good at knowing when a pet is going to do something they’re not supposed to do and stop them accordingly.
“Jennifer was willing to take care of my cat last minute when I got stuck across town with the snow. She was very informative and went above and beyond what was asked during her visit. Would definitely recommend and will use again!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for cats every day, as I currently have three cats of my own. I understand feline behavior, boundaries, feeding routines, litter maintenance, and how to provide affection without overwhelming them. I’m patient, observant, and attentive to changes in behavior, ensuring cats feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own space.

“Alexis has been an absolute lifesaver for me and my dog, Honey! I drop Honey off early in the morning and often pick her up late in the evening, and Alexis has been incredibly flexible and understanding with my schedule. She loves Honey and so does her kids! Honey gets plenty of exercise, and I receive lots of photo updates throughout the day. I can see how happy and comfortable Honey is with her, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m at work. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter, and I highly recommend Alexis to anyone looking for someone truly caring and dependable!

About: I’ve been around dogs pretty much my whole life and have been helping take care of them since I was a kid. Right now I have a 5 momth old miniature Dachshund puppy and a 1 year old australian shepherd , so I’m very used to high energy, routines, and training. I try to stick to each pet’s normal schedule so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’ve worked with puppies on things like potty training and basic commands, and I’m also patient with older dogs who need a slower pace or meds. I’ll keep you updated with pics and messages too so you know how everything’s going. I’m home full time, so pet care fits really easily into my daily routine. I already spend my days taking care of my own dogs , feeding them, training, going on walks, and taking trips to the dog park. I have a 5 month old puppy and a 1 year old dog, so I’m used to staying on top of routines and giving them lots of attention throughout the day. Because of that, any pet I’m watching gets plenty of time, care, and interaction instead of being left alone for long periods. In my home, pets get a lot of attention since I’m home most of the day. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and two dogs of my own who can keep your dog company if they enjoy being around others. I always pay attention to each dog’s personality and comfort level, though, and can separate them if needed. I keep a consistent routine with feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping things as normal as possible for the pet. I follow all instructions closely and make sure they’re getting enough exercise, attention, and care. I also keep owners updated so they know everything’s going smoothly.
“Yvonne was really great with Rocky. This was his first visit to her place. She is very friendly and welcoming . While Rocky spend the day there she sent pictures of him with her dogs Luna and Peanut and also him chilling out with her daughter:) . I will be definitely taking Rocky back to Yvonne.”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and a lifetime of caring for dogs. Since I was a kid, I’ve looked after my neighbors’ dogs walking them, keeping them company, and making sure they felt safe and loved while their owners were away. I truly understand how important pets are; they’re family. I care for every pet as if they were my own and always provide the best, most attentive care possible.❣️🐾🐈🦮 Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work part-time, which allows me to have most afternoons available, as well as weekend mornings. This gives me plenty of time to focus on walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention and care they deserve without rushing. I’m able to be flexible and dependable, making sure each pet’s needs are fully met. I provide care in my clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow the owner’s routines closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while maintaining their normal daily routine. I also keep owners updated with check ins so they feel at ease while they’re away.

Honestly, animals are a huge part of my life, so pet care fits into my routine really naturally. I love being around them, and I actually plan my days in a way that lets me give pets the time, attention, and consistency they need. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, it never feels like a chore—it’s something I genuinely enjoy. Making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away is always my priority. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. During drop-in visits, I make sure they’re fed, have fresh water, get potty breaks, and of course plenty of attention and playtime. For walks, I make sure they get safe, structured exercise at a pace that fits their energy level. I’m very attentive to each pet’s needs, whether that’s giving medications, working on basic puppy routines, or taking extra time with senior pets who need a slower, gentler approach. I also respect your home, keep everything clean, and follow any instructions closely. I always send updates and pictures so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I would love the opportunity to love your fur baby! Pets are great and I appreciate all the different personalities they have to learn/adapt to! I’m a working college student, but I can stay with your pet at night and care for them in the morning before work and come back to them after work. My pets at home walk on water. Me and my family love our dogs, so I would appreciate any opportunity to love even more babies.
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and a lifetime of caring for dogs. Since I was a kid, I’ve looked after my neighbors’ dogs walking them, keeping them company, and making sure they felt safe and loved while their owners were away. I truly understand how important pets are; they’re family. I care for every pet as if they were my own and always provide the best, most attentive care possible.❣️🐾🐈🦮 Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work part-time, which allows me to have most afternoons available, as well as weekend mornings. This gives me plenty of time to focus on walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention and care they deserve without rushing. I’m able to be flexible and dependable, making sure each pet’s needs are fully met. I provide care in my clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow the owner’s routines closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while maintaining their normal daily routine. I also keep owners updated with check ins so they feel at ease while they’re away.
About: I grew up with three dogs as a kid/teen and now as an adult I have Alli, she's 6 years old and the most energetic sweet German Shepherd. I've also taken care family members pets and some neighbors. I trained Alli by myself on a basic level, she's pretty good at leading other dogs and respecting their space, and still has tons of energy to play with friends! This is my only job at the moment so rest assure your pet will be taken care and will have all the attention needed, plus Alli gets to make new friends! We have a running area and a park right across the street that is very pet friendly and safe. I like to take them on walks and play games that helps stimulation.

She was so comfortable with you that when I picked her up, she wasn't in any hurry to leave. Her comfort and happy face told me she was in good hands! We loved the nice card with some of her pictures! Thank you again, and if we ever need to leave her again, we will definitely come to you first.”

“Our dog Finnley loves Monica and it’s so nice to have found our “regular” local dogsitter for our very picky dog 😂 Monica is the best and we highly recommend her!”
“Jonathan is awesome! We were so happy that Jacks got to stay with him for 10 days. Jonathan took exceptional care of Jacks. He sent pics every day. Best of all were the videos showing Jacks running around and playing while Jonathan spoke about how he was doing. Jacks had a great time and is looking forward to his next stay.”

Alyssa reassured me constantly and sent photos and Videos of my fur baby so I could enjoy my vacation in peace. She feed her properly and returned all of her things at pick up. (I’m sure I sent my kittens whole house of stuff) She responded quickly and gave updates daily. I will definitely recommend her and will definitely be using her again. Thank uuuu Alyssa!!”
“I can’t thank Malcolm and his wife enough for taking care of our boys. One of our dogs got a nervous stomach and they didn’t hesitate to make him chicken and rice for dinner to help ease his tummy! We can not extend enough gratitude. We are already looking forward to our next trip knowing we have found an all star sitter we can count on to watch our boys!”
“They were very responsive My dogs came home and slept for 2 days. Either they missed Loki so much or he put a spell on them 😂 It was an excellent experience with them.”
