About: I I have experience pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors, caring for dogs and cats of different breeds and temperaments. My responsibilities have included daily walks, feeding, cleaning litter boxes, giving medications, and providing companionship. I understand how important routine and reassurance are when owners are away. I currently work from home. So my schedule is pretty flexible! Plenty of times to go on walks and playtime! With advanced notice I am very accommodating to meet your needs. I provide loving, reliable care whether pets stay in my home or I care for them in theirs. My top priorities are safety, trust, and maintaining a calm, comfortable environment. I always follow each pet’s routine closely — including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions — to help them feel secure and stress-free.

About: Hi, my name is Amy. I grew up in western NE and grew up taking care of all kinds of animals. In the last 10 years, I have owned 4 retired racing greyhounds and fostered 20 through the Heartland Greyhound Association. I'm comfortable with big and small animals! I can also help with senior animals and medication. I adore all animals. Well, snakes are questionable. I don't currently have any animals due to my changing schedule, so I thought this would be a great way to spend time with them. My schedule varies by week. Please reach out to me with any questions. I’m excited to start helping you and your pets so feel free to reach out to me for assistance. My schedule is completely flexible at any time of day. Please reach out if you have any questions. I'm excited to help you with your fur babies! I currently live in a 2 bedroom apartment. Depending on the personality of the animal I can have them here. I also have a dog park nearby I can take your dog.

“Linda is excellent! I have never used an in home sitter, and had a really GREAT experience with Linda. She came over in advance to meet me, meet the dogs (I have 3), and get the lay of the land with the house and back yard. I really appreciated the time she took (free of charge) to do this. Upon meeting her, I knew she was the right choice for me and my dogs. I got very lucky, as she was my first contact. I could tell Linda could easily manage 3 dogs (which sometimes feels like 100). Linda showed up as promised, minimized time away from dogs, provided great photos, videos and updates. She’s someone you could definitely count on should something happen while you are away. Bottom line. She knows how to handle animals, an home and has a very calm and kind demeanor. I could tell by the videos, that my dogs loved their time with her. Highly recommend Linda!”

And she went above and beyond to make Luna feel comfortable during some over night storms that came through. We will definitely be hiring her again in the future!”

About: I love animals. I've had dogs of all sizes and of varying breeds my whole life, from my current pack of dogs including 2 chihuahuas to the 120 pound yellow lab I used to have and dogs of all sizes in between. I love all dogs and spend most of my free time with my dogs, from just feeding them and letting them out to playing with them and even grooming them myself. Despite my mild allergy to them, I also love and have lots of experience with cats. I used to cat sit for my parents friends and have spent lots of time playing with and taking care of cats for my parents' friends and my late grandmother. I'm currently unemployed, so I have all the time in the world to spend with your pets! I feed and let my own dogs out when I get up around 9 AM and then dinner time is at 6, with lots of potty breaks as needed in between and play time as their moods determine, averaging around 3 hours of high activity play per day plus lots of mental stimulation offered with puzzle feeders and whatever other games I come up with. I have a fenced yard and 4 very friendly dogs of my own, but I can make sure your dogs get leashed before going out if needed and can crate dogs as needed. My babies are spoiled enough to be used to sleeping with people, meaning I'm happy to snuggle your babies as they're used to.

About: I have pet sat since I was 13 years old off and on for friends and family. Then at 20 I got on an app called wag and booked with strangers to pet sit there. I was in a difrent city and it's not as popular here so I thought I'd give rover a try! I love getting to know new animals and can't wait to see how many I get to know on here. Im working part time right now Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 3-6. So ive got plenty of extra time on my hands to feed, and play with your cats or dogs ! For dogs I'll go on walks, lay on the couch with them, feed as instructed, play fetch, and go to the dog park (if the dog gets along well with other animals). For cats I'd lay on the couch with them, play with them, feed as instructed, and change litter as needed.

About: I’ve always loved being the go-to dog sitter for friends and family🥰Spending time with pups, giving them all the love, and making sure they feel happy and safe while their people are away. What makes my experience a little unique is my time volunteering with Domesti-Pups, a nonprofit in Lincoln that trains service and therapy dogs. It was such a rewarding experience and gave me the chance to work with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Because of that, I’m comfortable caring for pups with different needs, whether it’s keeping up with an energetic puppy, following a training routine, or giving extra patience and cuddles to an older dog. At the end of the day, my goal is always the same: to treat your dog like family and make their tail wag while you’re away. 🐾 Right now, I have a very flexible schedule, which means I can give your pets the time and attention they deserve. I’m in a transitional season between jobs, so pet care fits perfectly into my days and allows me to do something I truly enjoy. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I can easily work around your pup’s routine and be there when you need me. When I’m in a client’s home, I care for pets as if they were my own, while also respecting the home and routine that pets are used to. I make sure to follow all instructions closely, whether that’s feeding, walks, medications, or favorite playtime activities so your pets feel comfortable and cared for. I also keep the home tidy, send updates and photos, and make sure you can relax knowing both your pets and your space are in good hands.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. Having owned and cared for different breeds since childhood, I understand that every dog has a unique personality and needs. I work from home as a Project Controller, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. To ensure the best experience possible, I only accept one family’s dog at a time. This helps reduce anxiety and stress for both dogs and their owners while giving your pup my full attention. I’ll care for your dog with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. 🐾❤️ I work remotely, which is perfect as it provides a lot of flexibility as well as allows me spend more time taking care of my dog as well of others. Doing daily walks, play games, giving them some love! I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I can crate your dog if you prefer and make other accommodations as needed.

About: I treat clients' homes and family members with utmost care and respect, and I love on my pet clients like they are my own. I have nearly a decade of professional sitting experience at all stages of the life cycle, from bottle feeding to end-of-life support. My availability opened up when my beloved cat, Hugo, passed in December 2025. He was my special big boy and my joy; I miss him every day! During the last year of his life, I managed his multiple major health conditions including diabetes, kidney failure, and congestive heart failure. He had chronic urinary issues for his entire life despite prescription diets and various intervention attempts, and thus I was always on the lookout for signs of UTI. My boy was anxious and became notorious at multiple veterinary clinics for getting agitated during his checkups. I am eternally grateful to every person who showed him love and gentleness when his behavior was challenging. I strive to show the same loving care to my clients with the promise that even "difficult" pets will be treated like my absolute favorite creature on earth. Depending on the level of care required, I am comfortable with meeting in person or virtually before the sit. My ability to give medication will vary by the relationship and administration method. I typically ask that I perform an on-site home visit before the sit with any pets needing insulin injections, oral (both pill and liquid) medications, or subcutaneous fluid. As a singer and gig worker, I ensure that flexibility is built into my schedule. I am frequently available during business hours and around holidays! Bringing a sense of security is critical in this work. I have one client who requested a short video of the door being locked each day. I will work with you and make every effort to let you know that your home and/or loved one is in good hands.

FAQs for House Sitting - Abel

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 891 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Abel. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Abel 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 Abel 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 Abel 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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.

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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Abel. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
