About: Before I could speak my first standard language, I would speak with animals. This led me to care for neighbors', friends', family's, fosters and stray animals beginning in elementary school. Every shape, size, breed. I find peace & ability to converse with all, threading genuine connection with any and all animals. I currently make my own schedule, and always seek to spend time with a friend or family's animals. A key thing to note is that my fiancé & I share a vehicle, so we are a package deal. She is also an (inactive) Rover provider and can share her info upon request. I am very physically active and enjoy a pup to run / hike with as well. I travel throughout the metro area for business and meetings as well, so I am willing to go anywhere to be a blessing. Transparency and communication is key, always reaching out to the client to ensure I am following proper procedures. I provide the service of package / mail collection, taking the trash out on trash day, pup-poo yard clean up, and as a skilled trade handyman - can provide assistance / service upon discussion. I strive to leave your home as clean or better than when I arrived.
“Jack continues to provide excellent service walking our dog Benson. It was bitter cold a couple mornings. We have him scheduled for early in the morning and he was always on time. He took Benson for the whole scheduled walk not cutting it short even on the really cold mornings. Thank you Jack!!!”
“Saydie came by to walk our pup and did a wonderful job following the instructions I had left. She took our girl for such a long walk and sent pictures and have updates! We will definitely book her again!”
“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: I have experience in the animal field. I have pets of my own. I have 2 dogs 2 cats and 3 snakes. I have experience in some vet tech care and vet clinic experience such as restraint, pill giving, injections if needed. I know dog/cat body language. I am skilled in reptiles and exotics as well. Please reach out! I would LOVE to do a drop in visit or stay at your home with your pet. I am flexible with the services I offer. I care for your pets in your home the way you would. With love, care and all the snuggles. For drop in visits I would take them on a longer walk and hangout with them.
About: I’ve cared for over 15 animals directly, including seniors, puppies, and those with medical or physical challenges. My experience includes vision loss, limb loss and other physical disabilities, seizure history, heart conditions, severe anxiety, skin conditions, and specialized dietary needs. I’m comfortable administering oral medication and following detailed care instructions. I’ve supported pets who required environmental adjustments for mobility and traction, and I understand how important routine, consistency, and calm handling are for their well-being. I’m comfortable with animals of all sizes and temperaments. My approach is steady and structured so your pet feels secure and well cared for. I’m available on weekdays and weekends, including extended stays. I keep my schedule flexible and avoid overbooking so every animal in my care receives steady, attentive support. Once we’re booked, I follow your pet’s routine closely and tailor communication to your preference. In a client’s home, I follow your pet’s established routine closely and keep their environment consistent. I double-check doors and gates, respect feeding schedules, and maintain clear communication if anything needs attention. I’m mindful of cleanliness, noise levels, and the overall care of your space while I’m there.
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 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 do work full-time, but I’ve always been able to help out with my friends pets at least three times a day if not more when needed. I am not able to do in-home care at the client’s house-or overnight stays at my house at this time as I have an animal in my own.
“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!”
About: I have years of experience with animals and taking care of animals. I visited my grandmas farm every summer and took care of all her animals. I grew up around animals and I genuinely love to give them the best care. I’m 28 and responsible. Currently a full time student at the university looking for a part time job. My schedule is flexible and I will available weekends. I probably won’t be able to have your pet in my apartment, but I’m more than willing to accommodate to your requests and even spend the nights with your lovely pets.
About: I have 4 years of pet experience and my precious job was at a pet resort where taking care of dogs and cats was my main job! Walking, feeding, and playing with them is something I do, and I absolutely love it! Along with working at a pet resort, I also have volunteer experience at animal shelters! I’m also CPR certified, a certified trainer, and am well versed with medications. Pet care is something I do on the daily! I have a furry friend myself, and my former job was at a doggy daycare/boarding facility. I live for working in the animal industry! Unfortunately I can not take care of animals in home due to the fact of having my pup at home. If it’s ever needed I’m very good with helping animals feel comfortable!
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: 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!

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.

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 walker 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 .

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.
