“Maria did a good job of taking care of my three cats and two dogs. She left the house in the same condition that it was when I left and the animals seemed healthy and happy when I returned.”
“There aren’t enough good words or compliments for Ella! She was so dedicated to our pets and completely saved us when our airline flights were cancelled coming home. Thank you so much, Ella!”
“Markita is the best. She took great care of Nana and kept us updated on Nana's activities. She was also in charge of the house while we were gone. It was nice not to have to worry about Nana or the house.”
About: I have taken care of pets my entire life - If it’s dogs, cats, fish, turtles, geckos or birds, I’ve done it! I know how hard it can be to leave your furry family members and I take that responsibility seriously. I work remotely and can do so from anywhere with a reliable and secure internet connection. I am flexible most days of the week and most hours of the day. You know your pets best! I will stick to the schedule and routine you have set in place for them and currently have implemented in your home.
“Cordelia did a great job! She went above and beyond with bringing our dogs on multiple walk and keeping us updated with pictures, videos, and messages. We will definitely rebook when when need a house sitter again!”
“Tracy was outstanding at taking care of our dog and two cats while we were away for a few days. She followed their routines, took our dog on multiple walks, and gave everyone lots of love. She also took great care of the house (even taking the trash out) so it was just how we left it. We came home to happy animals and no extra housework. We will definitely have Tracy back!”
About: I have experience with many different breeds, including reactive dogs and aggressive breeds. I have patience and understanding for every dog and their unique routines and behaviors. I have been pet sitting for friends and family since I was able to drive and I will provide an informed and easy going experience for your dog sitting needs as well. I’m currently working full time Monday through Thursday and I am available to pet sit extended time periods as well as short. Aside from having my weekends free to care for your fur baby I am also available to provide morning, noon, and evening walks and playtime sessions. Rest assured that when you’re gone your fur baby is receiving my full attention. I live in an apartment that is close to a walking and bike bath. My personal preference is taking the 10 minute drive to Holmes Lake and going for walks around that area.
“Very communicative and attentive. Our dog ate a bug, and although nothing was wrong (thank goodness!), but Emma let us know just in case! We so appreciated her being thorough.”
About: I have helped dog sit and take care of many different kinds of dogs with my friends and I am looking into getting into it myself! I am currently in school from 9:30 to 12:30 and working about 20 hrs a week, so I have plenty of time to check up on your pets throughout the day! While I live in an apartment as a student and am unable to provide care in my own home, I'm willing to follow any directions provided to me to insure the safety and happiness of your pets.
About: I have grown up with big dogs, cats and birds my whole life. I have a big heart for animas all sizes. I have watched dogs and cats for numerous years for friends and family members I typically have an open morning schedule. I work at my other job from 2-10, so I would wake up whenever needed. I have Thursdays off which will my fullest availability. I am very mobile and able to come to you at your convenience. I have a one cat at home and he is declawed. I live in an apartment complex so coming to you is more convenient.
“Nathan took extra care with our very senior pup (14+, fragile condition) and they got along well during his overnight stay at our home. He’s very conscientious, read our instructions in advance and asked good questions to learn more or get clarity. We came home to a calm pup and tidy home. We hope we have Coco long enough to have Nathan sit with her again!”
“My husband & I have used Rover in the past (taking our 3 dogs to the sitter for overnights), but it’s approaching 3, or so years now since doing so. We have been fortunate having family members watch our 3 Brittany’s in our home, finding they do much better in their own environment & it also eases my mind. While having a personal acquaintance confirmed 2 months in advance to be lined up for an overnight with them, 3 days before it blew up in our face. We were left scrambling, as our family was unavailable. So, I to Rover, searching for someone who would not only care for 3 dogs, but also commute 20-25 minutes, outside of the Lincoln city limits. Daryn even drove to our home, 2 days before to meet our trio/us & see where she’d be staying! She is such a friendly & sweet, young lady, not to mention, was wonderful with our dogs… they ALL loved her!! She was great about sending me photos, too! We will definitely rebook with Daryn and I will make sure to tell others about her! Thank you so much again, Daryn!”
“Mallory exceeded our expectations! She was friendly, kind and so communicative during our 3 day weekend trip. We will definitely book her for our next trip!! We really can’t recommend her enough! Such a trusted and amazing individual with our home and our furry babies.”
About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. I grew up with pets and have had my own boxer mix for the past 8 years, so I understand just how much our pets mean to us. With over 10 years of experience in veterinary medicine, I'm comfortable caring for pets of all ages and medical needs, including giving medications and helping with post-surgery recovery. Whether your pet is a playful puppy, a laid-back senior, or just needs lots of love and attention, I'll care for them like they're my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while giving you peace of mind that they're in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have my own pet and already structure my day around providing attention, exercise, and care. I work Monday through Friday, and i can provide care before work, during my hour-long lunch break, and after work for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. On weekends, I have even more time to dedicate to longer walks, cuddles, and fun activities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I focus on creating a calm, loving environment where they feel safe and truly at home. I meet each pet where they are and build trust at their pace, whether they’re energetic and playful or shy and reserved. In my home, pets are treated like family. They’re welcome on the couch, the bed, and anywhere they feel comfortable. My gentle 11-year-old boxer gets along well with other pets and helps create a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Your pet will receive plenty of attention, affection, and personalized care every step of the way.
About: I genuinely love caring for animals and making sure they feel safe and loved. I have a chocolate lab puppy, so I’m very experienced with energetic dogs and training, and I also have another dog with separation anxiety, which has helped me learn how to comfort pets who may feel nervous or miss their owners. I enjoy helping puppies learn and grow, and I also have a big heart for animals in need—if I ever see a stray, I make it a priority to make sure they’re safe and help them find a home or get help. That same level of care goes into every pet I watch. Pet care fits easily into my routine. I currently work part-time and am not scheduled often, so I have a very flexible schedule and am available most days of the week. I’m able to let your dog out during breaks, as well as before and after work. I’m also willing to get up early or stay late to make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need. keep pets on their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. In your home, I follow all instructions and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and care. In my home, I provide a safe and calm environment with my friendly 7-year-old dog. I can crate your dog if needed and am happy to let them sleep with me if that’s what they’re used to. My chocolate lab puppy stays with another family, so that won’t be a concern.
About: I love being around animals! I got my first dog when I was 15 and trained him myself. Then I have dogs sat for countless families. I have cared for puppies to senior dogs and of all kinds. I work part time and go to college full time, but I have lots of time in my schedule for pups. I am avalible in the afternoons and on weekends I do not have a fenced in yard, but I have a yard and I love to go for walks and be outside with your dog! I can crate them if preferred or accommodate to many situations.
About: I’ve worked with dogs and cats for a boarding and daycare facility , my favorite part of the job was the bond you make with the animals. I have a part time job but mostly I am available Sunday through Saturday i’m free all day and happy to help with your pets! a leash for potty breaks or a fenced in backyard to guarantee no accidents of getting away from myself. if there is any other recommendations that you usually do around your pets for anything let me know:)

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cheney
So happy we booked with Cameron! We experienced a last minute cancellation 2 days prior to going on our trip. We were so relieved that Cameron was available and it relieved so much stress! One of our dogs had to have ointment applied to his paws and he made sure he got that on schedule. I’m very detail oriented and left a long list of things of the dogs behaviors, how they’re fed & what they may like to do and Cameron read over everything to make sure he cared for our pups the way we would, and he sent the best photos and videos! It’s been a much more relaxing trip thanks to him, we didn’t worry about if they were happy, they had so much fun with Cameron!
We have 3 spoiled pups and Hannah took extra care of them all in our home. They don’t normally get comfortable or even play the first time someone would watch them, but they did! She made sure all of our requests were met. Walked all 3 at the same time, fed them, played, spent time outside when it was nice out and communicated with us plenty. Thank you, Hannah!
Jennifer was amazing with our 3 set-in-their-ways pooches. She got them walked and fed as instructed and went above the bar to snuggle them and do extra chores around the house while we were gone all week! We had no worries as she sent check-in messages and photos to let us know everything was going well. Would highly recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Cheney is $30 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $47 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Cheney 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 Cheney 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 Cheney 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.
