“I can’t say enough good things!! Jessica stayed with our boy during the biggest storm threats of our time in Nebraska! She not only kept everything under control with our boy and our house, but she kept me calm as she stayed in constant contact and provided updates. Our boy was in great hands!!!”
“Theresa was amazing; we had pet medicine that needed to be given to the dogs, we were having our soil remediated while we were out of town and she was watching the animals, and with all of that she left the house in an amazing condition, checked in with us if she had to leave the house, and our dogs and cats were even happier than before we left”
“Charity was amazing! She was so wonderful with our dog Diego. Her communication is excellent and our dog was well cared for! We highly recommend and definitely would hire her again!”
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and enjoy taking care of them. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and just keeping them company. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I’ll make sure to follow your instructions and treat your pet like they’re my own. I’m currently a college student and work part-time, so my schedule can vary throughout the week. I have plenty of availability for pet sitting, walks, drop-ins, and spending quality time with your pets. I’m also happy to work with you to find times that fit both of our schedules. Your pet’s safety and comfort are really important to me. I’ll follow any routines or instructions you leave, keep a close eye on them, and make sure they’re comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated so you know how your pet is doing.
About: I’ve been house and dog sitting since I was 12 years old, so caring for animals is second nature to me. Growing up, I’ve had my own dog (and she is a diva) and three birds, so I’m super comfortable managing different animal personalities, daily routines, and dietary needs. I have also had 2 cats that I have shared with roommates! The biggest thing that sets me apart is my schedule. Because I study from home, I have a very minimal, flexible weekly routine. That means I would not just dropping by for a quick check-in, I can actually hang out at your house for long stretches or stay the entire day without having to leave. If your pet gets lonely, has separation anxiety, or just loves having a human around 24/7 to cuddle and keep them company, I’m your person! I am able to stay at your house however much you need me there from Thursday nights-Monday nights Sundays: completely available for 24/7 care Mondays: completely available for 24/7 care Tuesdays: available to check on animals before 8am and after 4pm Wednesdays: available to check on animals before 8am and after 4pm Thursdays: available to check on animals before 8am and after 7pm Fridays: completely available for 24/7 care Saturdays: completely available for 24/7 care I will request you give me guidelines of what times you animal eats, much much the animal eats, and how often they tend to go outside/to the litter box. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as regular as possible so your pet is happy, healthy, and ready for you to come home ☺️
“Tricia took such great care of our boy! We had to make some last minute changes due to a family emergency with our other dog-sitter and Tricia did a wonderful job of making us feel comfortable and confident. She sent lots of pictures and updates which I love!!”
About: I am a lover of all living things. I prefer to scoop up bugs and spiders instead of smooshing them. I have great empathy towards dogs and cats. Us hoomans don’t deserve them. I’m ready to spoil yours! I do work in a busy doctors office Monday thru Friday 9-5, however I am available evenings, nights and weekends and excited to care for your furbabies. I lease a townhome in a townhome community. I do not have a fenced yard but have a yard and a great neighborhood to take them out for their potty breaks and a great walk.
About: I do not have any pets, but i do regularly take care of my old roommates dogs while they are at work or out of town. I also watch my sisters three dogs while she is out of town for vacation or for work I currently for overnights monday through thursday. I am off at noon during those days, so i am free in the afternoons. I don't work friday through sundays, but i occasionally do with my other part time job but it is seasonal. I don't have any of my own pets. My schedule doesn't allow me to, but i would love to help family take care of their dogs as if they were mine!
“Kimberly was the best dog sitter we’ve had in Omaha! She was supper communicative, transparent and responsive. She listened to all our needs and was able to provide frequent updates and check-ins. We are so appreciative of her caring for Girly and our house!”
“Rachel was absolutely amazing! She communicated well and clearly cares for animals. My dogs provided multiple, unexpected challenges while we were out of town and Rachel handled them gracefully, made proactive changes for the rest of the trip, and just overall went above and beyond.”
About: I’ve enjoyed and cared for dogs of all sizes since I was old enough to walk, grew up with German Shepherds, Pit-bulls and a Pomeranian full of energy. I’m currently working remotely and have the flexibility to care for your pet anytime. I manage my schedule two weeks in advance making it a lot easier for everyone. For now I can only offer dog walking services, home-sitting, and day visits. My goal is to not disrupt their routine and help them stay calm while they enjoy some light activity.
“Tiffany was amazing!! We were nervous to leave our dogs, especially our new puppy, when we went away. She sent pictures daily to make sure we knew everything was going great! Will definitely be booking with Tiffany again!”
“I’ve never had a sitter so communicative and well thought through - Brittni sent several photos each day of our pup, and worked with me through some logistics that I thought might be an obstacle. If you’re anxious about leaving your pup, you should absolutely book with Brittni. She and her fam were incredible”
About: I’ve been around animals for much of my life. Growing up, I helped my grandparents with their sheep and their two working dogs, which gave me early experience around well-trained, active dogs and animals with routines and responsibilities. For the past several years, I’ve primarily provided housesitting and pet care for friends, neighbors, and family members. Much of my experience has been with older dogs, so I’m comfortable with slower walks, maintaining consistent routines, and paying close attention to signs that a dog may be tired or uncomfortable. I’m also experienced with handling dog medications and following specific feeding routines or dietary needs. I understand how important consistency is for pets, especially senior animals, and I take care to follow instructions closely so they stay comfortable and healthy while their owners are away. I’m patient, attentive, and reliable, and I make it a priority to learn each pet’s personality and routine. I treat both pets and homes with care and respect, and I’m always happy to provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are safe and well cared for. I work a hybrid job with somewhat flexible hours, which allows me to incorporate pet care easily into my daily routine. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, feeding, and letting pets out during the day, and I can often spend extended time in the home when needed. For certain bookings, I’m also comfortable providing overnight housesitting or near full-day presence (for a limited number of consecutive days) for pets that benefit from extra companionship or monitoring. I primarily offer housesitting and drop-in visits so pets can stay comfortable in their own home and routine. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and any household rules the owner provides. I have a rule that when staying in a client’s home, to be very respectful of the space and make sure to clean up after myself and leave the home as I found it or better. I understand that trusting someone with both your pet and your home is a big responsibility, and I take that seriously. I also have experience caring for pets that get nervous when their owners travel and may occasionally have accidents. I’m comfortable cleaning up messes on both carpet and hard flooring and checking common areas to keep the home clean and comfortable for the pet.

FAQs for House Sitting - De Soto
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 639 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across De Soto. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 De Soto 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 De Soto 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 De Soto 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.
