About: I grew up on a farm and have taken care of all kinds of animals and pets! I’m currently in school for Veterinary Nursing, and I would be thrilled to have the opportunity to care for your pet! I understand the worry and anxiety that can come with leaving the care of your pet to a stranger and would make sure you’re always updated as fits your needs. I work part time currently while in school, and I actually am working towards making my clients here on Rover my full time job while in school! Currently, I will not be able to house any pets yet as I live in an apartment complex. I will be able to do walks and daily drop ins and hopefully expand to a house where dogs can stay and play! I do have the ability to do dog washes as well.
“Ellie has been helping us out by walking our dog, Wally, a few days a week. She is reliable and sends me a picture of Wally on his walks every time! Wally is a high energy dog and he is visibly calmer on days he gets to walk with Ellie! We can tell that he loves his walks with her and can tell that she treats him with love and kindness! He now knows her name and gets excited every morning when I tell him that Ellie is coming to see him later! We’re grateful to have a trustworthy person to spend time with him when we’re busy working. We will continue to hire Ellie as often as we can! Thank you Ellie!”

About: I grew up around all types of pets, from dogs to birds to lizards to cats. For as long as I've known, I've fed bearded dragons crickets and ran alongside happy pups. I absolutely love animals, and am happy and willing to work within any routines and structures pre-set for your pets. As a recent college graduate, my time is very flexible - I'm available for whenever you need me. I'm dedicated to clear and open communication about my time. Providing you and your pet with the least stressful pet care experience possible is my goal. I'd love to meet your pet, learn their routines, quirks, and learn anything that's required for their care and your peace of mind.
About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life, with years of experience caring for both cats and dogs. From walking neighborhood pups as a kid to pet sitting for friends and family, caring for animals comes naturally to me. I'm comfortable with pets of all ages and energy levels—whether it's playful puppies or relaxed seniors. I work in an office during the day, so caring for your pets is the perfect excuse for fresh air and tail wags. I’m happy to help in any way I can, and as a proud plant lover, I’ll gladly water your greenery while I care for your furry companions. I treat every home and every pet with the same care I would my own. I can't wait to meet you and your furry friend! I work full-time as a graphic designer at the local college, but with our flexible summer hours, I’m able to build my schedule around your pet’s needs. Whether it’s a quick walk during my hour-long lunch or more hands-on care before or after work, I’m happy to make it work. If your pet requires extra attention, I’ll gladly adjust my routine to give them the time and care they deserve. I have reliable transportation, and my coworkers—many of them pet parents too—totally understand the love and responsibility that comes with caring for furry family members. You can count on me to treat yours like my own. I believe pets thrive best in their own space, especially when their favorite humans are away. That’s why I’m happy to come to your home, where your pets feel safe and comfortable. I’ll stick to their usual routine—whether that’s playtime in the living room, walks around the neighborhood, or just some cozy company. My goal is to keep them happy, relaxed, and cared for until you’re back home with them.
About: I have been watching friends and family animals for as long as I can remember. I love being able to give comfort to the animals when their parents are not able to. I’m currently available full-time to do either visits or house sit. Watching your fur babies bring some excitement into my daily routine and give them the care they need. I am able to sit at the client’s house-or overnight stays at this time. I am able to have pets in my house as long as they get along with cats as I have two of them.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs big and small, from my neighbors to friends who have trusted me with feeding and walking their dogs.

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!

Weekends are typically free, and I have most of my afternoons free as well! Mornings are not available during school days, but will be open during breaks! My own cats will not like having friends over just yet, but I am totally down to come hang out with your pets! I have 6 years of education and have had numerous background checks, I am completely trustworthy and capable!
About: I have my own little fury friend which I walk, take to the restroom, handle her food and water daily needs for the past 6 years. I have house/pet sat for over 18 owners, and sat more than 25 dogs, and 10 cats. I like to leave things as I found them, or better if I can. Also, great with cats, fish, and used to own 2 turtles as well and wouldn’t mind watching your turtles or any additional pets, just shoot me a message and see! I work from 8am-5pm, M-F, I have a few hobbies but other than that I’m sitting! If your pet is able to be let out every 5 hours then our schedules should align perfectly. PLEASE NOTE: If your pet needs to be let out before 6:00am I will not be able to provide services for you. I am currently only available to house/ dog sit at your location because I stay with my mom, and although we do have our own dog, that’s all she can handle at a time 🤗
About: I’ve been a lifelong animal lover and have had both dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. Caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life, and I truly enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality. I love being an “auntie” to friends’ and neighbors’ pets, whether that means going for walks, playing fetch, giving belly rubs, or simply keeping them company while their families are away. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your furry family members because I’ve relied on kind pet sitters to love on my own pets, too. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, giving you peace of mind knowing they’re being cared for like they’re part of my own family. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I also travel intermittently for work, but when I’m home, I love starting and ending my day with morning, afternoon, and evening walks—especially with a four-legged friend by my side! I’m a parent with my kids on a week-on, week-off schedule (Friday to Friday), so during my kid-free weeks, I have even more flexibility for pet sitting, drop-in visits, walks, and overnight care. During the weeks my kids are with me, they’re kind, respectful animal lovers who have grown up with dogs and cats and enjoy helping give pets extra love and attention. I’m also excited to share that I’m currently having a fenced backyard installed, creating an even safer and more fun space for dogs to run, play, and explore. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I know how important it is to have someone you trust with your furry family members, and I’d love the opportunity to provide them with a safe, loving, and happy home away from home. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m happy to crate your dog if that’s part of their normal routine or if you prefer. I also have gates installed to safely separate areas of my home, including access to the deck and carpeted rooms, so I can easily accommodate different pets’ needs and personalities. I’m currently having a fenced backyard installed, which will soon provide an even larger secure space for dogs to run and play. Whether your pet needs extra structure, freedom to play, or somewhere quiet to relax, I’m flexible and happy to tailor their care to the routine that helps them feel most comfortable and at home.

Retired military with plenty of time in their hands. Willing to discuss any type of routine to help accommodate your pets or best friends needs I am willing to meet with the pet owner / caretaker ahead of time to assess the trustworthiness of me and the owners pet before bookong.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Council Bluffs
We had such a great experience with Kiki and Cody! Communication was excellent from start to finish. They always kept me informed about when they were on their way, any schedule changes, and updates on how Havoc (the doggo) was doing. They were incredibly friendly with both me and Havoc, and even gave Buehler the cat some love! Havoc was always so excited to see them, and it was clear from his body language and the joy in his eyes just how much he enjoyed their visits. Rain or shine, they showed up and took great care of him. As a pet owner, having someone you can trust to care for your animals and knowing they're in good hands makes all the difference. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative dog walker. We will definitely continue using their services! Havoc and Buehler are lucky to have them!

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 walker.
