“Hilary did an amazing job taking care of my kitties! She sent regular pictures and even some videos. She was easy to communicate with and my kitties loved her! I will definitely be reaching out to her in the future should I need a sitter again.”


“Took excellent care of my cat! I’ve had them watch him twice now, and pico is always himself when I see him. They are very attentive to requests and send pictures and videos of him too :)”


“Chelsea was great with our kitty! She was able to help out on short notice and was prompt, sent adorable photos, and even cleaned out his litter box. Thank you Chelsea!”


“Kelly is a bona fide feline specialist. A true cat whisperer. Our two cats are not the most social cats, to say the least, and Kelly made friends with them with unbelievable ease. She is gentle, patient and very thorough in her care. It’s an incredible gift to find someone truly reliable to care for your kitties when you’re away and I will be rebooking her every time we are. Thank you for being awesome, Kelly.”


“I’m so glad we found Kalob. He is probably the best sitter we have ever had. His love for animals is genuine and all our pups loved him and took to him instantly. The updates and photos were amazing. I would welcome any chance to have Kalob take care of our babies in the future.”


“Shannon did a superb job with our little cat, stopping in at the appropriate time each day as we asked, and spending time with her. She also took care of our outdoor plants, which look great! We will definitely ask Shannon to help us again.”


“Amanda did a great job.”


“Marcy went way over and beyond our expectations when we gave her the wrong house key. She made sure our cats and our home were secure and safe. We definitely recommend her care. Thanks again!”


“Kelsey did an amazing job taking care of my fur baby. I can tell he was happy and enjoyed his time with his new babysitter. Highly recommend!”


“Excellent service! Jasmine did a great job taking care of my cats. Highly recommended. I will be using her service again in the future.”


“Jamie was very kind and took great care of my dogs. She was prompt for her meet and greet and her drop-in visit, and communicated changes effectively.”


“Alaina was fabulous! I am so so lucky we found her! Our cat needs medication, including an injection, twice daily. This can be intimidating to take on, but Alaina was so willing to learn and did great with them! Even when it took a little longer than expected she was patient, stuck to it, and persevered. I am so happy that we have her available to us going forward and have already rebooked for next month!”


“Kylie was great! This was my first time using Rover and she talked me through the process and kept me at ease with updates and pictures of Macie throughout the sit. Thank you so much!”


“Ashley is lovely! She is punctual, respectful, friendly, & absolutely loves our pup! She has done everything we’ve asked of her and is very helpful. Highly recommend her 😊”


About: As cliche as it sounds, taking care of pets isn’t just something I do; it’s who I am. Since I was little, I’ve been surrounded by animals of all kinds – from snakes, hamsters, guinea pigs, chickens, and dogs of all sizes, to fish and cats, including elderly pets.🐶🐍🐰🐢🐱 I’ve been there for potty training, administering medication, grooming, scheduled feedings, and maintaining teeth hygiene. To me, animals are pure and down-to-earth, and deserve the same respect ❤️ I don’t do this just for the money – I do it because I genuinely care about animals. I’ve heard too many sad stories about boarding pets somewhere, not getting the care they deserve, and the excessive costs involved, and I want to change that. This home is as much theirs as it is mine. I offer a six-foot fully gated yard, big enough for several animals to bask in the sun or play with toys.🌤️ I have several dog beds (and furniture) with enough space to care for your babies. Even the smaller critters or pets that aren’t cats and dogs! I recently used Rover myself and was initially skeptical, worried, and just overall leery about the situation. 😅But it turned out to be a wonderful experience, and now I want others to have the same peace of mind and enjoyment. I want pet owners to feel confident that their animals are in good hands so they can truly relax and enjoy their own vacation, knowing their pets are having a great time too.☺️ And if I could, I’d give myself five out of five stars, rated highly by Forbes ⭐️for providing top notch safety and security to help ease your pet’s separation from you while you’re away. Don’t hesitate to text me on any questions, concerns, or just to chat about your pets. It’s a big decision to make who you can trust your animals with, and I am happy to help 🫶 The question is how do I fit pet care into my routine- but I don’t “fit it” into my routine. I follow my animals routine, and what they need to be their best self. I am make it a priority on managing potty breaks, feedings, treats, and everything in between. It especially helps that I am home most of my days, and wouldn’t mind more company ☺️ It’s not that I just want to “provide care.” I feel like anyone could do that, but it’s more of bonding with that animal. It’s learning their needs, routine, and having patience with them. My goal is for them to not view me as a complete stranger, and more as a good friend to have 💕With that being said- I would love to take your dog on a walk, feed them, grooming, playing, and giving all the love they deserve! If there is good communication and understanding, I would be happy to help with proper medication or medical needs as well 🩷

About: I have experience giving pets oral medicine and administering subcutaneous insulin. I am physically able to pick up pets and take them on longer walks if they wish. I am currently in school and working part-time, so I have time to stop in throughout my days and hang out with your pets! I am training for a triathlon so I could even run with any doggos who need extra energy release. I believe your home is a sacred place and will value your privacy and space. If your pet has had an accident, I don't mind helping to clean it up!

About: I have experience with deaf, senior and reactive dogs as well as cats. I fostered and trained for Blue River Pet Rescue and have taken dog safety courses with Nebraska Humane Society. I know what it's like to have a scared or sick dog and I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for them when you can't. I am no stranger to a special needs dog and I want to be that person for you and your pet when you need me. My own dog, who passed in April 2025, had CHF and I could barely stand to let him out of my sight. I was lucky that the people who fostered him offered to watch him when needed. Without them, I'm not sure how I would've found someone I could really trust to be patient and kind to him. Now that he's gone, I want to be able to be that person for others. I work completely remote, so I am always home, giving me a great opportunity to care for special needs animals or just animals in general. I work Mon-Fri, 12-8 and weekends are usually free. I live close to a dog park that I took my previous foster to every day and have a nice neighborhood for walks. I have a yard (not fully fenced in) with a tie out leash, though I go outside often and would never leave your pet alone. I got the tie out recently for my foster to help her with separation anxiety but would walk around the yard and area with my own dog for a few minutes every hour or so. I have lots of toys and keep a pet water fountain running at all times. I keep a couple of dog beds throughout the house, so there is always somewhere soft and comfortable to lay down, whether they want to stay close by or would prefer some space. My house is their house while they're here. Besides the trash cans, they are welcome to explore.

“Vienna was amazing! I felt so safe leaving my kitty with her for the night. Her and her kids were great with my cat and super easy to work with!”


About: I've had dogs my whole life and have helped train them with basic commands. I own a 8 year old German Shepherd so I understand high energy dogs well. I am a substitute teacher so I can control my schedule. That also means I have the summer off so I can take on more clients during that time. Helping pets keep their regular schedule when you may be gone is what I'll strive for. Chagne can be stressfull for all and I'll do my best to eliminate any stress and make sure pets are played with and loved on and pet parents are informed of how their pet is doing. I have a fenced in back yard and one German Shepherd who is outside most of the day and sleeps inside. I have 3 indoor cats as well.

About: I have always grown up in a household with pets and see them as family members. Currently enjoying the companionship of my 2 fur babies. Throughout my time of loving animals, i have had pets with allergies, a 2 different orthopedic procedures on knees and 2 eye procedures and feel comfortable with giving medications or eye drops. When it comes to my animals, I value the importance of them having the ability to be cared for when I am away and look forward to providing that to other familys. I am available most friday afternoons and weekends for drop ins and walks in the lincoln area. Could consider evenings on additional days upon request. Currently my animals are free roam, but I do have experiance with crate training. My animals enjoy daily walks, mind stimulating activities and practicing of their learned tricks, and lots of love.
