“Raina's care of my 15 year old cat Eli for 8 days exceeded my expectations! She provided such nice twice daily updates and photos. I could tell by the photos that Eli really liked her, what attention he was getting, and what fun he was having.”
“Katarina was amazing! She really helped us out this weekend, covering for our regular sitter, she took excellent care of Hazel. She offered before hand to do meet our pup if necessary and kept great communication, as well as taking tons of cute photos to send in the Rover card. Thank you!”
“Morgan has been reliable with taking care of my 2 cats on two separate occasions. My cats have been extremely well cared for and are visibly happy when I come home after being away. I will continue to request Morgan for future trips. Thank you Morgan!”
“Theresa was so great with our two cats, one being a new kitten. She was incredibly responsive and even came over a few days before she was scheduled to walk around the house and let me show her where things were. Will definitely be using Theresa again if needed!”
About: I have experience caring for a variety of pets, making sure each one gets the attention, exercise, and love they need. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks or playtime, and keeping pets safe and happy while their owners are away. I am very open to making it my responsibility and giving it my time and effort! I can’t wait to dedicate my time & love to your pets!♥️ I have had my own pup before, and I currently have two cats and they are extremely spoiled and loved! I also have a niece that’s a dog that I always am babysitting!
About: Animals happiness is a fundamental principle that I feel strongly about. This made growing up with and caring for all animals my favorite part of each day! I would love to give your pet you call family a break from their long days of sleeping in. My experience includes living with and pet sitting for dogs of all ages and sizes. Before becoming a pet sitter, I had only owned a cat, but have experienced the joys of all cats personality’s. I’m currently a Junior in college at UNO and have a professional level of experience scheduling around my classes and previously a demanding sport. A part time, high activity, and flexible routine is my cup of tea! My most convenient times are early afternoons and whenever works best for you. I have well rounded experience in feeding pets, cleaning their toilet activities, and taking them on walks and runs. I currently call a black cat, jack Russell terroir, Weimaraner, blonde wiener dog and chickens my family!
About: I’ve always had pets in my home, whether they’re cats, dogs, or even guinea pigs! I’ve always had a love for pets and animals and it has progressed even more into adulthood! I’m currently doing online for college, and I work part time as a server at nights 3-5 times a week. So I will have plenty of time to stop by for your pets! At my house I have a fenced in yard because we have a dog. I also have a crate in my home and lots of toys for cats and dogs!
“Paige does an amazing job with my kitty when I’m away! I feel so comfortable leaving because I know she’ll take great job of her while I’m gone.will continue to use her when I’m out of town!”
“Linda was great with Scout. She arrived on time and sent a picture every day..she managed food and treats and was a great companion for my girl. I hope to have her come again in November.”
About: Yes, I am absolutely going to talk to your pet like they understand every word I am saying. 😂 I have loved animals forever and have years of experience caring for my own pets and those belonging to friends and family. I am happy to handle the normal stuff like food, water, walks, litter boxes and playtime, but I am also the person who will learn that your cat only drinks from the bathroom faucet and your dog refuses to poop unless you walk counterclockwise around the block. Basically: tell me how your pet likes things done, including all of their weird little routines. I will follow them, give them plenty of attention and send you pictures so you can see exactly what we are up to. I work from home and make my own schedule, so I am pretty flexible! I can usually make mornings, afternoons, or evenings work, and since my schedule changes from week to week, I keep my Rover calendar updated with when I am actually available. Your house, your pet, your rules. I want to know exactly how you normally do things so I can keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible while you are gone. Before our first visit, tell me everything: feeding instructions, medications, leash rules, escape-artist tendencies, favorite hiding spots and anything your pet absolutely should NOT do even if they try very hard to convince me otherwise. 😂 I will follow your instructions, keep doors and gates secure, never take your pet anywhere you have not approved and send you updates and photos so you are never wondering what is happening back home.
About: I’ve had dogs all of my life. I grew up with small dogs under 20lbs and now have my own Blue Heeler, Ollie. My cattle dog has given me lots of experience with high-energy pups. I’ve also been fostering with the Nebraska Humane Society for the last three years. This has given me experience with many different breeds, ages, and behaviors. I’ve taken several training classes through GoDogs as well. This has helped me to prepare for many different behaviors using positive reinforcement and redirection. I currently only work 3pm-9pm Monday thru Friday and I have a partner at home while I’m working so the pets will have very minimal time alone or kennel time. I also take my other dog on many walks throughout the day and we average about two hours of dog park time a day as well and we’d be more than happy to bring your pup along if you would like. I have a small fenced yard outside my apartment or a dog park that’s a ten minute walk away for lots of outside play time. I also have a dog and cat of my own so your pet will never be lonely!
About: As a pet owner of 28 years, I know how stressful it is to leave your fur babies behind for hours on end, and my goal is to relieve you and your pet of any worries! I love taking dogs for walks for stimulation and activity. Your dog will receive my care with attention to pacing, any health concerns, and lots of fun! My schedule changes weekly, meaning I am very flexible for your needs. Generally weekdays during normal working hours is when I am the most free! As a walker, I don’t offer services from my own home but would love to keep pet parents updated with photos of my walks with your pets!
“My fur baby loved Rachel! I had her come do drop ins at my house while I was on vacation. She sent me lots of pics and videos while I was away & she took care of locking my house back up and kept everything just how I left it. Definitely recommend! It’s hard to trust a stranger with your pet(s) but I will definitely be booking Rachel again.”
About: I have worked around my neighborhood growing up taking care of dogs. I love going on box and love to be accompanied by a dog on those walks. If you have any questions, feel free to ask:) I’m currently working full time from 7:20-3:20, but can go into work from any time from 7am to 9am. So I am very flexible for you and your fur baby! If you need me to take care of them mid day I do have a one hour lunch break as well. I work 5 days a week for 8 hours. Weekends I can be free! My kitty is always taken care of, cleaned, litter box is cleaned daily, new water refilled daily, and exercised daily. I can adjust based on you and your pets routine. I do not do home visits in case your animal does not do well with cats!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 12. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and watch their pets! I currently am a student so I will have plenty of time to play with you pets!! I have plenty of time off from school to watch and care for your pets! I have over 11 years of experience caring and watching pets!! I would love to help out in your home but unfortunately can not offer care in my own home.
About: Hi! I'm Christina! I'm a 49 year old widow and have a 25 year old human daughter. I have just moved back after living in Mexico for 7 years. I have always had dogs, growing up and currently. I'm the proud mama of 1 Golden Retriever named Josey. She is my 3rd Golden girl. I lost my other 2 sweet girls featured here while I was in Mexico to cancer. I currently dog sit for my family and friends and can provide great references. I am an absolute dog lover! Nothing makes me happier than being surrounded by dogs! We are looking for in home sitting experiences, can do long term and Josey comes with me so your dog must be good with other dogs. She's just a big baby. I just moved back to Omaha from Mexico where I've been pet and house sitting for 7 years. I'm not currently working so have all of the time for your pets! I do not do in home dog sitting but I'm happy to come to your home with Josey for play dates and in home care!
About: I've grown up with always more than one animal in the household, and loving them is second nature. When my family and friends need someone to help take care of the pets, I am always the first option! I have taken care if lots of cats and dogs, but a few fish throughout the years too. I have experience not only with general pet care such as, feeding, walking, playing/enrichment, but also with giving medications. Some dog breeds I have worked with (or lived with) are German Shepards, Yellow Labs, and mutts that are a mix of medium/bigger dogs or small dachshund mixes. And a lot of different cat personalities! The distant and quiet ones who keep to themselves and the ones who need your attention the second you walk through your door! Either way, I have always loved them no matter what, and continue to love them still. I am about to start a part-time job that has me working either from 10-3 or 11-4. I am always willing to wake up early or stay up late because I have the late start time of the work! In my home, my cat never has a missed meal, he has clean and running water 24/7, and a handful of toys available for enrichment! A handheld laser always nearby for sudden play time is anecessity! As for my client's pets, I will always follow instructions step by step and detail by detail, no matter if feeding times includes something silly to get the fur baby to actually eat their food, I will always do it! And I am not the kind of person to just stop in, do what I need to do, and leave. I will make sure the pet is well loved and knows that I am there for them.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Council Bluffs
Natalie was an amazing cat sitter overall. Consistent updates and managed to give both of my cats the attention they deserved. Natalie was amazing on making sure she kept my cat's water, foods and litter boxes refreshed. Her pictures were beautiful too, capturing different angles and having certain themes which made each update an exciting thing to look forward to. Will definitely be booking again! Highly recommend!
Brittney was awesome again! This is the second time we have had her take care of our cats while on vacation. She makes sure on each visit to clean boxes, refill food/water bowls and give one of them medication. Brittney is very dependable and I would highly recommend her for your pets.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
