About: I’ve been around and caring for dogs most of my life and truly love it. Friends, family, and neighbors rely on me to help with walking, feeding, and spending quality time with their pets. I’m dependable, patient, and pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs. Whether your dog loves to play or just wants cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. I'm available for house sitting /boarding on weekends and weeknights after 2PM with some flexibility depending on your needs. Your pet won't be left alone for long periods and will get lots of love, playtime, and care throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fenced yard and two friendly, well-socialized dogs to keep your pet company. I always supervise interactions and can separate or crate dogs if needed to ensure everyone feels safe. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly so your dog feels comfortable and cared for.
About: I’ve worked at a doggy daycare. Family and neighbors have trusted me to check in with their dogs, feed, play, and let them out. I’d take great care of your fur babies! I am currently working part time with a cleaning company so I’ll plenty of time to spend with your pets. My availability would be Mon, Tuesday, Friday 5 pm to 9 pm. And then Wednesday and Thursday 8 am to 9 pm. I will keep an eye on your dog when letting them out to make sure they’re not escaping or eating anything they shouldn’t! I’d clean up after them if any messes are made. I’d make sure they’re fed and energy is let out!
About: I have very energetic pups who love to run and play outside I also have a senior dog who takes medicine every morning after potty I am a stay at home wife with plenty of time on her hands so I am available pretty often and would love to help. I love to spoil the animals and will even bring them toys and treats. I have a fenced in yard so I'm good at making sure gates are closed and there are no holes around the bottom for eacape
About: I grew up with a dog, who became my biggest inspiration for working with animals for a living. Currently, I have 3 cats and work as a kennel attendant in my college town. I have worked with many disabled animals, helping them go outside or get comfortable. I have also worked with very young animals who need a little extra patience sometimes. I always pay attention to the animal's individual needs and do my absolute best to accommodate for them. In the past I interned with a groomer who taught me many behavioral signs of dogs and tricks to make them more comfortable if need be. I have also done a lot of research of my own for the behaviors of cats in order to understand my own. I'm currently home for the summer from college and am needing a job that's flexible, but also something that I still love. Since I'm home I will have all the time for all the pets' needs. When I care for an animal I start by giving them lovings, if they are willing to be pet. I will then pick up after them, walk them or scoop their litter, feed them, and of course before I can leave, play with them. Most of all before I do anything else, I double and triple check to see their instructions. Especially if they have any special instructions, I will switch my routine accordingly.
“So glad I found Brooks! He has experience with Boxers and knows what they can be like as young adolescents. Emma adored him, and he became her best friend immediately. Brooks was prompt and on time and the communication was outstanding!”
About: Our Weimaraner keeps us active with daily hikes and play time in the yard. I am very particular with the care provided to him so I understand the importance of meeting your expectations. My husband and I raised Siberian Huskies for 6 years and couldn’t imagine our home without a canine companion. I am excited to provide others with the care I desire for my own! I am a teacher looking for a flexible schedule to stay busy throughout the summer and breaks. I enjoy staying active and love experiencing breeds of varying sizes, ages, and energy requirements. Our Weimaraner thrives on socializing with other dogs and will keep the play time interesting. We have a large crate available if necessary. Although we do not have a fenced in yard we have a tie out as well as a membership to the nearby dog park. We travel with our dog and will take yours along, too!
About: I have been taking care of dogs, cats, guinea pigs and lizards for friends, neighbors and family since I was 9. I was also the student therapy dog handler at Creighton University for Cocoa! I love animals and I am excited to be able to take care of them especially since I’m missing my own dog! I helped train my dog who is a German Puddle Pointer from a young age to help him with hunting in the field. I am currently working for Creighton university as an independent researcher on a research grant! I am in the field of cognitive psychology and hoping to become a therapist one day! One of the things that this has included for me is being a therapy dog handler on campus, so I love working with animals. I will have meetings for my summer research grant every Tuesday and some meetings in between that are still TBD. I live in Minnesota and I am here as a student so I may go home a weekend or two this summer! I have always taken care of my own dog at home and many family and neighbor dogs as well. I will be diligent with instructions and the personal background of each pet to give them individualized care. I have been a babysitter, I have worked at a children’s behavioral clinic as well as a childcare center so I am well versed in safety care and I have a background in training for taking care of the ones that mean most to us. Training certifications like that for CPR as well as daycare will translate in the way that I am always prepared and I am able to always stay alert when providing care to furry friends!
“Rose was available to book last-minute and I’m so happy I did. The night before she was to walk and feed my dogs, she FaceTimed to discuss their needs and get to know the process and their feeding instructions. She cared for my dogs like they were her own and I’m so thankful for that. I’d recommend Rose to anyone I know looking for pet care while out of town!”

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Council Bluffs. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
