“Megan was amazing and we were so grateful she was able to step in at the last minute! The dogs loved her!! Would recommend Megan and will definitely be reaching back out!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and grew up with two golden retrievers, so caring for pets has always come naturally to me. I’ve also dog sat for friends and family, helping with walking, feeding, playtime, and making sure their pets feel safe and loved while they’re away. I’m very patient, attentive, and understand that every dog has their own personality and needs. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or more calm and cuddly, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family. I am currently part-time employed but if you let me know in advance I’m available anytime weekday or weekends! Dog sitting is something I look forward to - not as a chore, so I am fully able to spend long hours if needed! I always prioritize safety and follow each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions carefully. I make sure pets are secure on walks, supervised during play, and always in a safe environment. I often prefer caring for pets in their own home because it keeps them comfortable in a familiar space and helps reduce stress. I’m very respectful of clients’ homes, keep things clean, and provide regular updates so owners feel confident while they’re away.

About: I currently have 3 dogs, 2 are foster fails. One from a rescue I volunteered for and the other through a family member who made a rash decision to buy a puppy. All 3 dogs are different in size, small, medium and large. All are tan and was not planned that way. Age range is 12, 11, and 8. My oldest has to have multiple kinds of eyedrops 3 times a day. He is unfortunately blind, but he is still happy. I have experience with fostering dogs and working with rescue organizations. I am currently a stay-at-home dog mom of 3. I have time to play, feed, walk or let out your dog anytime during the day and can stay with them for a little while. I consider my pets as my children and treat them with love and great care. I believe a person's energy affects how a dog reacts to them, so I do my best to stay calm around dogs in general. I am not super strict and will give love and kisses and bring excited energy when the situation is safe to do so. I like to train my dogs on their basics skills and tricks because I do believe that makes life easier for everyone. I am not opposed to crate training or using it when necessary.

About: I can handle any kind of dog, from shy to super hyper! I’ve dog sat for family and friends over the years and I have experience in giving dogs medicine and first aid! I am currently unemployed and off to college at UNO this fall! I have a ton of free time and am willing to take care of any kind of pet 24/7! I have experience giving cats and dogs medicine orally as well as administering first aid to dogs! I have my own car that I can take to visit your pet, and in emergencies I am a safe driver that can safely bring your pet to the nearest vet. I have grown up around animals and have a deep love and respect for every species!

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.

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the level of attention, patience, and adaptability I bring to every pet I care for. I don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach—each animal has its own personality, needs, and routines, and I make it a priority to learn and follow those closely so they feel safe and comfortable. I have experience working with both young and senior pets, which means I’m comfortable handling very different energy levels and care requirements. For puppies and kittens, I focus on reinforcing positive habits like basic training, crate routines, and socialization, all while keeping things fun and consistent. I’m patient with accidents and understand that early stages require structure and encouragement. For senior pets, I provide a calmer, more attentive style of care. I’m mindful of mobility issues, medication schedules, and any special dietary or health needs. I also make sure they get gentle exercise and plenty of companionship without overexertion. Beyond that, I’m very detail-oriented and communicative. I keep owners updated with messages and photos, and I’m quick to notice any changes in behavior that might need attention. Whether it’s an energetic puppy or a slower-moving senior companion, my goal is always the same: to provide reliable, thoughtful care that makes both pets and owners feel at ease. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I build my schedule around consistency and reliability. I structure my days to make sure I have dedicated time blocks for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins, so pets are never rushed or treated as an afterthought. On a daily basis, I plan my mornings and evenings to align with typical feeding and exercise schedules, and I leave flexibility in the middle of the day for walks, drop-in visits, or extra attention if a pet needs it. I’m very mindful of maintaining the routines pets are already used to, since that helps them feel secure and comfortable. Throughout the week, I manage my availability ისე I don’t overbook, which allows me to give each pet the time and attention they deserve. Whether it’s regular visits or longer stays, I make sure I can be fully present and responsive to their needs. Overall, pet care isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s something I intentionally plan my routine around so I can provide consistent, dependable care. I tailor my care depending on whether pets are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in a client’s home, but in both cases my focus is on keeping their routine consistent, reducing stress, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. In my home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment where animals have space to relax as well as opportunities for play and exercise. I stick closely to their usual feeding schedule, potty breaks, and any training routines they’re used to. I supervise interactions carefully and make sure each pet gets individual attention, affection, and downtime. Cleanliness and safety are a priority, so I keep the space secure and free of hazards. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I aim to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and preferred activities, and I respect the home environment by keeping things tidy and organized. Staying in their familiar space helps pets feel more at ease, especially those who are anxious or older. For both settings, I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and energy levels so I can quickly notice if something seems off. I also provide regular updates with messages and photos so owners can feel confident and connected while they’re away. No matter the service, my goal is to provide dependable, attentive care that keeps pets happy, healthy, and comfortable.

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!

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’ve had experience with a different breeds of dogs from little pups to bigger dogs. I’ve also had two cats which I loved. I’ve always been a lover of my fur babies. Friends and family have relied on me to babysitt, walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I also do the same for my own pet. If there are any special instructions that your dog needs, I would be able to help out and follow. Can’t wait to make your fur babies comfortable!! I’m currently working two 12 hour shifts at the hospital. I work every 3rd weekend where I have to work Friday-Sunday. Otherwise, I’m very flexible and can provide schedules for anyone in advance if need be. I have a fenced yard and one big fur baby. He’s a gentle giant and loves any dogs who will play with him for hours! My pup gets walks, baths, car rides , pup cups (too many), and more. I love my fur baby and if I have the chance too take care of yours, they will be in good hands.

About: I have taken care of dogs for my family/neighbors/friends for many years and have very much enjoyed doing it! I have a happy and energetic golden retriever who is also a certified therapy dog so he loves meeting and playing with all humas and animals! I'm also getting a golden puppy during the summer months so I will be at home a lot this summer raising her. Dog sitting other dogs would be great to help her socialization and her training! I am a teacher with the summer off, so I have a very open schedule to meet the needs of taking care of any animal at any time of day or night needed. I have a house with a fully fenced yard, and a fun and friendly golden retriever puppy to keep your animal company along with me. It is always my aim to provide quality company and comfort with your pet as I do with my dog on a daily basis.

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong love and experience with animals. Growing up on a farm taught me patience and responsibility, and I’ve cared for pets of all sizes and temperaments. I offer puppy training basics, gentle senior pet care, and medication support when needed. Most importantly, I provide consistent, loving attention so your pets feel safe, happy, and at home while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work part time, which leaves me plenty of flexibility. I’m available most days of the week to give animals consistent care, attention, and companionship. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping pets company, I can easily adjust my schedule to meet their needs. In my home, I make sure pets have a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of love, play, and attention. Walks, feedings, and cuddle time are always part of the routine. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely to keep pets on their normal schedule—whether that means meals, walks, medications, or bedtime routines—so they feel secure and cared for in their familiar space.

About: Why me? Because I’m a nurse who cares for children and babies and want to give the same love and compassion to your pets on my days off. I’m trustworthy, kind and caring. I’ll treat you and your pets like family. I’ve been around animals my whole life especially while growing up on a large farm. It means a lot to me that I can visit your pet and take them on a long walk so they can socialize and stretch their legs like our farm dogs did all day long. I’m been married for 17 years and have 2 kids, ages 14 & 11. They would love to join the fun on their days off from school. Choose us and you won’t regret it! Thank you!

About: I’ve cared for all kinds of pets—dogs, puppies, chickens, fish, and more! I love working with animals and have a special soft spot for puppies. I have a 9-month-old pup myself who is fully trained, so I’m very familiar with routines, training, and giving pets the attention they need. I’m dependable, patient, and will treat your pet like family. (I am allergic to cats, so I can’t take on cat care.) I’m a licensed esthetician with a flexible daytime schedule, which allows me to check in frequently and give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I also have a dog of my own who is very friendly and well-socialized, so if your pet is comfortable around other dogs, they’ll have a built-in playmate. I prioritize making sure pets feel safe, cared for, and part of a routine. I care for pets by keeping them on their normal routine and making sure they feel comfortable and loved. In my home, they get a safe space, lots of attention, and playtime (plus a friendly dog if they enjoy that!). In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely and make sure their pet feels secure in their own space. I always keep owners updated so they know their pet is in good hands.

“Amanda has been amazing with our puppy. She has gone above and beyond to make sure our little guy is taken care of. We have been using her for two weeks now and appreciate all her help and time.”

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: I love being active with my dogs and participating in weekly activities with them, including agility and obedience training. Dogs need to be physically and mentally stimulated daily for their health and well-being. I am a newly retired teacher of 32 years. I have a completely open schedule and want to fill it with my favorite thing in the world...DOGS! I am a huge walker and love to have furry friends to accompany me. I am very flexible and can make most times work, so please don't hesitate to ask. I also love ALL sizes and breeds of dogs, at my house we have a 13-year-old Morkie named Mollie and a 1-year-old Bouvier named Bert who weighs 95 pounds. My open schedule allows me flexibility for drop-ins to check in on your fur babies. I worked for many years as a teacher and spent so much time worrying about my pets at home; do they need a potty break? Are they lonely? Do they have water? I want you to feel comfortable while your pet/s are at home alone, and am happy to help out however; this can include feeding, walking, or just cuddling. I want to be able to give you peace of mind that your pet is being cared for, so you can focus on your job or commitment.

About: I have 2 of my own dachshunds and also foster for Nebraska Dachshund Rescue. I have lived with large (Newfoundland) and small dogs providing walks and daily care. I can recognize abnormal excrement and report it to the owner. Each dog has their own personality and needs to be respected for the individual they are. I have a dog with some food intolerances (as I do myself) and understand that one food or treat does not fit all animals. My availability varies depending on my weekly schedule. On days I work I would be available to provide an evening walk for your baby. On my days off I could help out most times if the day I am comfortable walking you pet/pup or coming to you house while you are gone to take care of birds, fish, reptiles, rodents. Whatever the need may be! I am available after 1700 Monday through Friday and anytime on weekends. Availability on holidays will vary, but my calendar will be updated to show such. I will follow whatever requests you have for the care of your pet. I will respect whatever diet/treat schedule you have for them. I will make certain they wear their galoshes & sweater for walks if that is what you request!

About: I am always available to help you and your furry children! And I love doing it too! I have watched dogs in the past, more for favors than anything, but pets are my passion and I would love to be your choice for a walker/sitter/overnight companion to all the dogs and their awesome owners! We could go to the dog park if you wanted us to, or just stay at home and go on walks and spend some great quality time together. Treats always included! You won’t ever have to worry about your little (or big!) loved one when they’re with me because I promise to provide outstanding care! With me, they’ll get nothing but love and a great new friend and I can’t wait to meet y’all!
