“We just came home to two very happy and content pups. This was our first time having a sitter and it worked out beautifully. Rebecca gave us frequent updates, asked questions when needed and gave us great piece of mind while we were out of town for 5 days.”
“We would absolutely rebook again! She gave us piece of mind knowing our fur babies were being well taken care of, as well as our house. We were kept up to date of how they were doing and if she had any questions or concerns. House was left in great condition.”
“Celeste watched my Dane while I was away for about two weeks over Christmas break. She did a wonderful job with my Dane. Followed his schedule as well. If she had questions she asked and even sent updates. She left my home just as it was before I left. I had no concerns and will use her again.”
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 ☺️
“Kimberly was the best dog sitter we’ve had in Omaha! She was supper communicative, transparent and responsive. She listened to all our needs and was able to provide frequent updates and check-ins. We are so appreciative of her caring for Girly and our house!”
About: I've had large dogs in the house my entire life and am very comfortable working with any. I'm a big dog lover, very responsible, have a flexible work schedule, and excited to work with some dogs! I work full time during the week, however my schedules very flexible & differs from day to day. If I’m not working remotely from your home I’ll always be able to stop to let dogs out during the day & will always be back before dinner time. I'm a very responsible person & have plenty of experience working with dogs. I only plan to watch 1 dog at a time so I'm not overloading myself & can guarantee your dogs getting the best possible care.
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.
“Juan was great. Good communication on cats and house. Pictures and videos really cheered us up. Kittens seemed to really like him. Did some extra tasks like water plants, feed the birds...even mowed lawn when got too long. Will definitely use him again. A+++”
About: Trust that your fur baby will be taken care of as if they were my own. Possibility of becoming more spoiled. I can accommodate any specific needs including treats, toys, affection and attention. I am available weekdays early morning 6am-4pm and can adjust accordingly afterwards if needed. Weekends I am available early mornings and late evenings. Nothing past 11pm. I would always come to your home so that your fur baby is most comfortable and accommodate any specific needs. Incorporating outings and walks as well.
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.

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 Bartlett 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 Bartlett 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 Bartlett 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.
