“Helped walk both of our 60 pound dogs for a full week while wife was out of town. Dogs are always well-exercised when I come home and Danny always keeps the apartment clean and tidy. Continues to be a huge value-add for us.”

About: Hi there! I’m Iris , I know confusing because my profile says jacob which is the name the government calls me. I love animals. I had dogs and cats growing up and still have cats as an adult. I don’t remember a day in my life where I didn’t have a pet. Ive handled pills for cats and dogs and injections for cats including IV fluids. I love running and playing with high energy pets or chilling in the shade with the calmer characters. I’m an animal lover and will do anything to make your pet feel loved and safe. Trust is everything when it comes to our fur babies and I want to earn yours. I work a 7 day on 7 day off schedule so every other week I am available 24 hours a day to assist you and your pet in your busy lives! You are safe with me ❤️ On my off week I am free all day every day. Any last minuet needs please reach out. During on weeks I will not be available. I am happy to walk dogs. Check in on them at home. When it comes to cats I’m happy to check in on them and offer food and water. I’m also comfortable giving any medication to cats.

About: I have always had pets in my life. I was raised with dogs and cats, and I currently have 1 dog and 3 cats! I was a Foster Parent for Underdogs Rescue from 2016-2021 and specialized in medically fragile and behaviorally challenged dogs. I moved to Omaha from Denver and had to take a hiatus from Rover to move and settle. My services are dog walking, check ins, and house sitting. I have boarded dogs before (as you can see from my reviews) but have decided not to do this again to offer stability for my cats. I love sending photos of pets when they’re in my care. Please check out my photos and see how the pets become my family! I always appreciate a list of do’s and don’ts, reminders, emergency contacts, etc. There is no such thing as too much communication for me. I am very good at multi-tasking and prioritizing. My work is very flexible and I am able to maintain consistency with offering support to pets in other's environment. I treat other's pets like they were my own. I love them all and will treat them with respect and kindness. I love taking pictures and keeping parent's apprised of how they are doing in my care.

About: My family owned a dog when I was in middle school for about a year and a half, but due to busy schedules at the time we had to give him up. My brother had a dog for a little over five years, and I enjoyed helping him take care of her while I was living with my parents, and I went to their house to see her and help take care of her when needed before she passed away! I am different from other sitters because I will spend as much time as I possibly can with your pet! I know that with my brother’s dog, Emma, I wanted to be home with her as much as I can when I was living with my parents so she could be out of her kennel as often as possible. I will also make sure that everything you require of me will be completed in the most appropriate manner possible. I will always make sure that your pet is safe! I will always have an eye on your pet when they go to the bathroom outside, and will talk with you to get as many details as possible to make sure everything goes well while watching your pet! I am a teacher full time, so I would want to make sure that both you and your pet are okay with me being at my full time job during the day when I am house sitting. I am available to do house sitting all seven days of the week. I am available to do drop-in visits and dog walks only on the weekends (I am available all day on Saturdays and Sundays to do these) due to working as a teacher, however if you ever need a drop in or dog walk in the evening during the week please feel free to send me a request for it! I also regularly change my calendar so I am usually am available to do drop-in visits and dog walks on weekdays that I am out of school! I will make sure that your pet is my priority while under my care! I will take great care of your home, no matter which service you request! I will be very respectful of everything in your home, and I make sure I am around to take care of your pet(s) as often as possible! If you have any requests on what you would like me to do with your pet(s), no matter which service it might fall under, please let me know!

About: Hello, I’m currently a bather and dog trainer at petsmart in council bluffs and have been for the last three years along with that I was a vet tech assistant for two years prior. I work for the council bluffs community schools as a para educator but also in going to school full time and working at petsmart part time as well. So I’m always busy busy busy. But I love being busy so don’t think I will be too busy to walk or do drop ins on pets. I have fenced yard for my three babies but unfortunately two out of my three babies are reactive to people and other dogs but they are just lovely dogs!

“Lance informed me about when he was finished with walking Toby with a picture of Toby. He is wonderful with my dog and will be wonderful with your pets as well.”

“Ian was quick to respond and prompt for his scheduled time. He came prepared with water for my dog, took her for a nice walk and she came home very happy and tired from the exercise, which is exactly what I had hoped for: ) Ian has watched our pets before he joined Rover and he always does a great, thorough and thoughtful job. He really loves animals and it shows.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind for pretty much my whole life. I’ve had a dog or some kind of animal since I was a kid. I’ve owned my own farm and even worked at an animal hospital for quite sometime. I have a rotating schedule that’s pretty open. I am available on weekends and weekdays. So I’ll have plenty of time to play with your fur babies. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I also am more than welcome to send daily pictures and updates and if needed for more security video chats.

About: I love dogs of all kinds and have had my own family pets since I was 4 years old. I will treat yours like my own: with love, empathy, and compassion. I believe in force-free, positive reinforcement training methods, which I have used on my own miniature Goldendoodle for over 3 years. I'd love to care for your pup! I work full-time and intend for this to be my side gig for additional income on my days off. am off school from my graduate program until August, so this will hopefully be my or at least side gig for the summer. As I said above, I believe in positive, force-free training, so I do not yell, hit, or physically harm my dog or any dogs I am around. I believe in redirecting unwanted behaviors and encouraging all the good ones! Your dogs will be safe, happy, and healthy with me. I assure you! Also, I am comfortable managing multiple pups at a time. I am sure to monitor their interactions closely and make sure everyone is enjoying themselves and feeling comfortable.

About: Most of my experiences have been petsitting @ their homes, keeping the fubabies in their comfort zones. That way they have their own beds, toys and yards yet I welcome others into our home for us to love on. I enjoy the playing, sleeping, walking, and cuddling together. I look forward to sending daily pictures and updates to their parents. I provide honest and genuine caring and companionship to your babies. I'm available to pet sit over night, any night on the week at your home and would dog care in my home on weekend days/ nights. If you are looking for someone to love and care for your babies like you do, then I look forward to meeting you and your loved ones. I work from home and can work from anywhere. I can sit in your home, my home or even travel with for you if needed. I treat all animals as is they are my own. With patience, love, caring, and dedication. I vow to provide the best care possible. Thanks

About: I've had dogs for as long as I can remember. My last fur baby was a Puggle that was handicapped. She lost the use of her hind legs at age 6. She needed help going potty, I got her a wheelchair so we could still go on walks which she absolutely loved and was important to keep her as healthy as possible! She needed more care then my other dogs, she really trained me to help other dogs that need alittle more care. I have had Dachshunds, Cocker Spaniels, Boston Terriers and Puggle. I love any breed of fur babies, they all want love and belly scratches!! My schedule is pretty open and am willing to work with you to get the best help for your dog. My schedule is pretty flexible and would be available to spend a night or two at your home if needed. I would work with you to get the best care for your dog. I would not be able to have your pet in my home as I live in an apartment. I would take them for walks, let them out to go potty and stretch their legs. <ake sure they are fed and have fresh water. and the best part i'll sit with them and give love and make them feel comfortable with me in your absence . And of course clean up after them, I have 7 yrs experience of caring for a special needs dog.

“Keion has been an amazing new friend to our dog Leila! She took tim right away and enjoys her daily walks . Keion is very kind, helpful, responsible, and prompt. I highly recommend him !”
