Cat Sitting in Ashland

“This was my very first time using anything like Rover to help take care of my dog partner. Olivia Maximilianus lived up to, and beyond, any expectations I ever had; performing with brilliant helpfulness. Providing professional service above any idea of which that I had going into the situation of needing help feeding my four-legged relative, while I traveled. With the sonic intuition of a bat soaring through the night, she knew what I needed before I could even think of it. With the professional and timely voice of mourning dove, she was prompt and unbelievably reliable. With the cool and calm discipline of a crow crossing a wire over a field of peace lilies, bluegrasses, and dandelions, she left my home and space in a cleaner and more organised way than I had left it. And with the resilience and dedication of V-formed geese, my four-legged family was exercised and engaged in such a good way. Evidenced in her calm and content energy in my return home. Reminding me of the words from my favourite poet, Mary Oliver, in the last verse of her poem titled, October: “One morning the fox came down the hill, glittering and confident, and didn’t see me- and I thought: so this is the world. I’m not in it. It is beautiful.””

“Amanda did a great job entertaining our elderly dog while we were out of town. The pictures we received at every visit were awesome to show our kids when they asked about her.”

About: I was in 4-h for around 7-10 years and showed horses, cattle, rabbits, cats and dogs. I lived on a farm so I am good with all sized pets. I have a deep passion for animals and personally have 2 dogs a chocolate lab and siberian husky, and 2 cats a orange tabby and grey maine coon. I am a full-time college student so my schedule is pretty open all week and the weekends besides church Sunday mornings and I work Saturday nights 5-11. I am very responsible and have lots of experience pet-sitting. I strive to do my best job for all my cliets while also being respectful of their home.

“Celeste was awesome! She was so good with our dog and communication was great while we were away. We’ll definitely be using her in the future!”

About: Lifelong animal lover offering reliable dog walking and drop-in visits for dogs and cats. I’ve cared for pets my entire life and previously boarded dogs through Rover, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. In 2017 I was an active Rover sitter and boarded dogs in my home for about a year, working with several families and building repeat clients. During that time I had multiple dogs and cats of my own, as well as young children, so I’m very comfortable managing busy households and different pet personalities. Today I have one dog and one cat of my own and am excited to return to Rover focusing on dog walking and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats. I’m happy to help with: • Dog walking (short or long walks) • Drop-in visits for dogs or cats • Feeding, fresh water, and routine care • Litter box cleaning for cats • Playtime, attention, and companionship • Basic medications when pets are comfortable receiving them I’ve also worked in boarding facilities, grooming salons, and doggy daycares, which gave me experience handling many different types of dogs and temperaments. I’m known for being calm, patient, and routine-focused, and I treat every pet with the same care and attention I give my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a wide-open schedule and can be flexible to meet your pet’s needs, whether it’s daily walks or regular drop-in visits. I primarily drive to visits, so I can reach most locations efficiently. To ensure the best care for your pets, I ask for at least a day’s notice when scheduling or canceling visits. Since this is my main source of income, I can be consistent and dependable, giving your pets the attention and routine they deserve. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. Dogs are always leashed during walks, and I adjust routes or pause if other dogs are nearby to ensure a calm, controlled experience. I’m comfortable caring for multiple pets at once, as long as they get along well. I handle pets with anxiety, aggression, or medical needs carefully, following all instructions from their parents. During drop-in visits, I take my lead from pet parents and follow any guidance provided, ensuring I leave the home exactly as I found it — doors locked, secure, and everything in order. My goal is to provide a safe, consistent, and worry-free experience for both pets and their families.

About: I’m a proud pet mom to both a dog and a cat, so I understand the unique needs and personalities of each. I treat every pet like my own—with patience, love, and lots of attention. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or sticking to a routine, I make sure your pets feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I also offer weekend availability, perfect for those quick getaways! I am a student so I have plenty of time! Specially on weekends. I have my dog and my cat already and they would love to make new friends I just moved to a house and it’s just my husband and I with our cat and dog and they are super friendly with other animals and we all love cuddle time

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for most of my adult life. As a kid I was never able to have pets, so as an adult I’ve always had multiple dogs. I love dogs and enjoy their personalities and fun loving nature. Weekends and holidays are spent at home with the family, and the four-legged family members get plenty of playtime! During the week, I work full-time. Our dogs are kennel-trained and enjoy their downtime during the day. Once home, they’re out and a part of all our evening activities. We have a fenced-in yard where they can run and play non-stop. Our fenced-in yard is an excellent space for our four energetic dogs to run and play. They love to play non-stop, and our kids, who are also dog lovers, enjoy playing along with them.

About: I've been caring for my own household pets since I was about 7 years old -- feeding, letting pets in and out, and providing quality time for as long as I can remember. We've always owned 2 dogs and 2 cats my whole life. Experienced in giving medicine, diaper care and helping with individual pet needs. Always the go-to petsitter for family and friends when needed. Currently off of college for the summer so I'm wide open for all of your pet needs! Available daily at any time until mid August, and then free on the weekends when the semester starts. My dogs at home are crate-trained, but I work with open house dogs as well as crates, letting them outside every few hours or so (as needed). Happily gives couch cuddles for pets as much as possible, and I follow food instructions per pet to a T, including medicine and special care instructions as needed.

“Kim was quick to respond to our inquiry and was fantastic! Very communicative with us and attentive to our senior pup. We will be rebooking for sure!”

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.

“Emma did a great job taking care of my two kitties, very reliable & always keeping me updated and sending pictures! I definitely felt comfortable leaving them in her care. I’d definitely book with her again!”

About: I have always had a pet, or multiple pets, in my life. I love animals and I have a passion for caring for them. My mom and I have a goal in the future to own a lot of land where we can build a dog sanctuary! I work as a nurse full time, which is three 12 hour shifts a week. But all of my days off are very open and I love to be productive! I can make pretty much anything work on my days off(: I am very responsible and can follow a schedule really well. I would make sure to take your dog on walks, let them outside to use the restroom, and feed them all on the timing of your schedule for them. I will also make it a priority to play with them and give them as much attention as necessary!

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a farm surrounded by all kinds of animals, which taught me early on how to handle everything from bottle-feeding newborns to keeping senior pets comfortable. I’m completely comfortable sticking to strict schedules and making sure your pet takes their pills right on time. I’ve been pet-sitting since high school—including long-term overnight stays for weeks at a time—so I know exactly how to keep a home and your fur babies safe. Today, I share my home with my own dog and two cats. I genuinely love all animals and promise to treat yours like family! I have a full time job as well as caring for my own fur babies. I get off work anywhere from 1-4pm, it varies from day to day. I can only work afternoons to evenings. No weekends or holidays. I follow the instructions given and treat your pets as if they were my own. They get all the pets and play time they could ever wish for.

About: I have had pets my entire life including many dogs of different sizes, cats, and other animals. To be specific, I have owned 2 black labs, a beagle, a toy Yorkie, a golden retriever. I currently have 2 cats, one of which is medicated for siezures twice daily, and a bird. I have also had many fish, ducks, and even a bearded dragon. I LOVE animals, which is why I am majored in Zoology. During High School I worked at my local pound (Puppy Love). I have 3 years of professional experience caring for animals at humane shelters. During these times, I dealt with dogs and cats of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments including aggressive dogs. I am very capable of handling whatever an animal may need no matter how difficult it may seem at first. I have a great passion for giving animals the best life they can possibly have. By looking at the lives of my animals you can see that clearly. I have also, in the past, gone to peoples homes to take care of their animals while they were away and have had a lot of positive feedback on my work. I am dedicated and do not scare easily. I am definitely an animal person :) I have a good schedule with my own pets, woth daily and weekly activities I keep up consistently. I respect the need for a schedule and will do my best to keep yours. I strive to keep and calm and clean environment wherever animals are present. Sometimes they make messes, that's just the way they are. The same basic animal care principles apply to any environment, you just have to know where your tools are. I always try to go the extra mile when taking care of anyone's pets.

“Liz was great!! My fur kids just loved her. She even took time to come over before the scheduled date to meet my kids and learn their routine. She was so good with them and sent the best pictures!!”

About: I started my care for dogs when I was 14. I often sit for friends and family when they need me. I am an animal lover who just loves spending time with new animals. I love getting to know all of their sweet personalities. I am currently a student with no more than 2 classes a day so lots a free time to spend with your pets. I would be free to let out your pets multiple times a day and even spend the night if you would like. I am very accommodating when it comes to all types of animals. We can discuss what your animals need in your house and find some type of system.

About: Hi, I'm Calysta! I'm currently a student at UNL in the fisheries and wildlife program with an emphasis in zoo animal care. To say the least, I am obsessed with all animals! I am a part-time zookeeper in Omaha this summer and have previous work experience with dogs as a Kennel Tech at a doggy day care and boarding business. I also have some volunteer dog walking experience at my local humane society. My whole life, I have had dogs and cats and have taken care of beloved pets of friends and family! I am currently a part-time zookeeper in Omaha for three days a week, 7-4 pm, but other than that, my week is completely free to spend time with your amazing furry friends in any way that you may need! From my experience as a kennel tech and my lifelong experience with pets, I am very comfortable operating any pet-related equipment, feeding, administering medication, and handling whatever else you may need me to do in your household!

“We had to cancel a trip less than 24 hours before we left since my partner got sick-NOT ideal. I let Ashley know of the situation and she was so flexible and understanding. And before a big holiday weekend too! You won't get a better sitter, I promise!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my strong attention to detail, genuine love for animals, and experience with pets of all ages and needs. I have hands-on experience training puppies with basic commands and crate training, as well as providing gentle, attentive care for senior pets who may need medication, extra patience, or mobility support. I’m also highly reliable and communicative I always keep pet parents updated with messages and photos, so they feel connected and reassured while they're away. My calm, friendly approach helps pets feel safe and at ease, whether it’s their first time with a sitter or they need special care. I treat every animal like they’re my own, and that personal connection makes all the difference. Pet care fits into my daily routine as a consistent and rewarding responsibility. Every morning starts with feeding my dog and taking him for a quick walk to get some energy out before the day begins. In the evenings, I usually spend about 30 minutes either going on a longer walk or playing fetch at the park. On weekends, I make time for grooming like brushing his fur or giving him a bath if needed and sometimes schedule vet checkups or pick up new toys or treats. It’s a routine that keeps me grounded, and it’s always nice to end the day with a loyal companion by my side. When caring for pets in either my home or a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and consistent environment. For dogs, I ensure they have regular feeding times, fresh water, daily walks, and playtime to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. I also follow any specific instructions the client provides, such as administering medications or adhering to training routines. If I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s regular schedule to reduce stress from their owner's absence. I clean up after the pet, monitor behavior for signs of illness or anxiety, and send updates (with photos) to the owner for peace of mind. Whether it’s overnight care, walking, or short visits, my goal is to make each pet feel safe and loved while their owner is away.
