About: I have grown up with big dogs, cats and birds my whole life. I have a big heart for animas all sizes. I have watched dogs and cats for numerous years for friends and family members I typically have an open morning schedule. I work at my other job from 2-10, so I would wake up whenever needed. I have Thursdays off which will my fullest availability. I am very mobile and able to come to you at your convenience. I have a one cat at home and he is declawed. I live in an apartment complex so coming to you is more convenient.
About: I’ve been around large and small animals alike my entire life. I grew up on a farm where I cared for (and showed)horses, sheep, dogs, cats, a turtle, guinea pigs, and even (had) gerbils. I was active in 4H, FFA, county and state fairs where I showed my prize Appaloosa horse. During my college years I worked at a locally owned pet store in Kearney, Nebraska, which gave me even more hands on experience especially with a variety of small animals like snakes, birds and rabbits. I’ve always had a dog in my life (and cats) until recently when my Mastiff of 14 years passed away. My Mastiff was a rescue with extensive behavioral issues at first; however, after a year and a half of steady, consistent daily work and training, I am proud to say he passed the temperament test, did a complete 180, and I began taking him into nursing homes, where he was absolutely adored. So in short, I’ve worked with some challenging pet personalities but it makes it all worthwhile knowing I improved that animals life and can take the skills I’ve obtained and pay it forward. I also have extensive experience taking care of senior dogs and am quite familiar with the extra care they require whether that be assisting them up or down stairs, making sure there is plenty or traction where they’re walking, taking extra stops to rest on walks, and overall recognizing when they’re in pain or or not acting like themselves and adjusting any activities accordingly, and ensuring the owner is aware of any changes in personality, eating, drinking and/or potty breaks. Hello! I work part time remotely, so my schedule is very flexible which leaves me plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and anything else your furry friend(s) need while you’re away! I have 2 cats currently so I would prefer to do any daycare at the client’s home, plus, I feel it’s less stressful on the animal if they’re in their own environment. However, in a pinch, I could certainly arrange to do boarding in my home as I have a large fenced in backyard and my cats could easily be placed in another area of my home. I also have a large (Great Dane size) crate from my beloved dog who passed recently, if a crate would be necessary. Whatever it takes to make your furbaby happy and as comfortable as can be, I’ll make sure it happens! When I am at your home, I’ll make it so that you don’t even know I was there aside from a tired pet(s). Trust and integrity is crucial when letting a stranger not only care for your animals but be in the home, and I firmly believe im establishing that trust by respecting your home and your rules. I live in the south Lincoln area, I drive and own my own vehicle, so can be anywhere in the Lincoln area within about 20-30 minutes. Also, if there was an emergency of any kind I would be able to transport your pet to your closest Veterinarian or wherever need be to ensure his/her wellbeing.
About: I’ve been house and dog sitting since I was 12 years old, so caring for animals is second nature to me. Growing up, I’ve had my own dog (and she is a diva) and three birds, so I’m super comfortable managing different animal personalities, daily routines, and dietary needs. I have also had 2 cats that I have shared with roommates! The biggest thing that sets me apart is my schedule. Because I study from home, I have a very minimal, flexible weekly routine. That means I would not just dropping by for a quick check-in, I can actually hang out at your house for long stretches or stay the entire day without having to leave. If your pet gets lonely, has separation anxiety, or just loves having a human around 24/7 to cuddle and keep them company, I’m your person! I am able to stay at your house however much you need me there from Thursday nights-Monday nights Sundays: completely available for 24/7 care Mondays: completely available for 24/7 care Tuesdays: available to check on animals before 8am and after 4pm Wednesdays: available to check on animals before 8am and after 4pm Thursdays: available to check on animals before 8am and after 7pm Fridays: completely available for 24/7 care Saturdays: completely available for 24/7 care I will request you give me guidelines of what times you animal eats, much much the animal eats, and how often they tend to go outside/to the litter box. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as regular as possible so your pet is happy, healthy, and ready for you to come home ☺️
“Linda was amazing for our little Karl!!! We were so thankful didn’t haveto be kenneled. She played with Karl who does require a lot of attention and play time. She kept us updated and sent pics and videos. It was so nice to be able to relax knowing he was in good hands!!! Our house was just the way we left it!! Very respectful!!! Book her if you can you’ll be happy you did.”
About: I’ve been a pet owner my whole life! I also began pet sitting at a very young age. I’ve dealt with dogs and cats of ages that range from newborn to 15. I also have experience working in an animal boarding facility. I was tasked with taking care of 50 dogs and several cats at a time as well as cats and bunnies on occasion. I administered medication and meals that followed strict diets. I would also walk each pup daily (if required by owner). I have a love for all pups and I will always do whatever I can to ensure they are happy and taken care of! I work 10-3 on weekdays and either afternoons or evenings on weekends. Other than that I am usually free and can be very flexible! As of now, I am living in an apartment. There is a dog park nearby with plenty of room for pups to run and play.
About: Taking care of animals was the first responsibility my siblings and I were raised on. I have had all different species and breeds of pets since before I can remember and I have been a huge animal lover my whole life. I live on a farm with several large animals and always happy cats and dogs around the house. I am an animal science major at KSU working towards a career dealing with behavioral studies for companion animals. I work in a dog daycare and boarding facility and have volunteered training foster dogs for adoption. I love every shape and size of critter!:) I do have a full time position with a flexible mid day break to travel in Otoe county, available for morning, evening and night check-in’s throughout the week. Available all day on weekends! I am willing to follow any directions given to help make your fur baby as comfortable as possible while under my care! I strive to make a connection with every animal I work with!
“Tricia takes such wonderful care of our three dogs. Our pack of tiny dogs can be challenging, but she handles them with tons of patience and she has a way about her that calms my anxious brain. We just love her, and have recommended her to others!”
About: I grew up in a small town with horses, dogs, and cats. I have been an animal lover since I was just a little girl. My Aunt had a kenneling facility that I helped with throughout the years and growing up. It was more like a little staycation for furry friends while families traveled for various reasons. Customers always came back relieved because they knew that their pets were in great hands. My responsibilities included keeping the living space sanitary and comfortable, feeding, watering, cleaning, exercising, and monitoring the animals' health and behavior, and obviously a lot of added love and play time! I dog sit for a few people (friends/family) here in and stay at their homes when they are gone and love it so much, I decided to check out Rover! I am hardworking, kind, compassionate, and trustworthy. Whether you kennel your dog or prefer not to I am your go-to girl when it comes to any of these needs! Recently moved back to Omaha and looking for a part time job! Book me today! I recently moved back to Omaha and am working part-time right now. My schedule is very flexible, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I do not board pets at my own home. However, I will care for your loved one/ones following your instructions, feeding, providing fresh water, exercising, administering medication if needed, and cleaning up after him/her. I will also maintain the home's cleanliness and security and keep you updated on your furry friend/friends' status.

The average cost of House Sitting in Alvo is $37 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $46 per night.

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 Alvo 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 Alvo 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 Alvo 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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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.
