“Alyssa went above and beyond taking care of our pets, she even went out of her way to get more litter for our cats when we were running low. Very thankful for that! We were also very happy with the detailed notes and pictures she sent us while we were gone. Will definitely be booking with her again in the future !”

“Alexus was great! Ella loved every minute with her! She gave her all the lovings while we were gone and went above and beyond. Would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs!”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my life starting from the age of 10. I’ve always helped when it came to feeding, walking, and any potty pick ups. I’ve taken care of dogs for both family and friends. Currently only available afternoons on Tuesdays and Thursdays, as well as afternoons and evenings on weekends due to school and a regular job throughout the week. I like to make sure that I know all entrances and exits and if there’s any loose doors/handles, that way I know where to keep an eye out around the house of clients, so no one gets hurt or out without supervision.

About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I started watching over and caring for friends and family’s’ dogs since I was 10. Dogs are my all time fav and I can’t wait to care for yours! I am currently a full-time college students, also involved in extracurriculars but still have plenty of time to care your pups! Im available for walks MWF from 7am-10am; TTh from 7am-1pm. I can also make evening drop ins work through conversation! I am super flexible on care in your home. I can serve to whatever your dog needs whether that’s some play time or needing to be fed!
About: I have worked at a veterinary clinic as a kennel assistant, at a doggy daycare as park staff, and at a wildlife rehab as seasonal staff. These jobs have required me to monitor behavior and symptoms to ensure the health and safety of all involved. I work part time, leaving me with much time for looking after animals. I am off on weekends and am looking for something full-filling to fill that time. My shifts at my job are usually 6 hours but no more than 8. In high school, I watched many pets in my hometown while their families were away. Lists and rules are very important to me so that I know exactly what is expected and how your furry family member would have the best experience.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs & cats since I was in high school. House sitting and pet sitting is one of my favorite ways to make money. I love animals, I also enjoy going for a walk so having a dog with me makes me feel more relaxed & comfortable. Cats I just enjoy being around and seeing the crazy little behavior. Overall animals mean so much too me & I would be so grateful to be able to take care of your babies ❤️ I am currently a college student at the University of Nebraska Lincoln. I have Fridays off so I’ll be able to spend a lot of the day with the animals. Monday through Thursday I have classes however I only have two classes on Monday and Wednesday and three classes on Thursday so I’ll be able to check on the animals throughout the day and also be there at night with them. when I decide to housesit or animal sit for a client. The first thing I asked them to do is to write everything down that I need to do on a day-to-day basis on a piece of paper and leave it on the kitchen table so I make sure I’m doing everything I can for the animals. I can take the animals on walks if that’s what they enjoy if the animals tend to be more elderly, I can just spend time with them make sure they’re getting their meds whatever you guys have a preference of me doing I can do it to the best of my ability.
“Abigail always does so great with Pawley! He is shy at first with people he doesn’t see all the time, and she always makes sure to take the time to make him comfortable. We love being able to rely on her.”

About: Hey! I have a strong passion for animals, which has led me to gain a wealth of experience in pet care. This includes not only looking after my own pets but also taking care of those belonging to family and friends. My hands-on training with my dogs has equipped me with the skills to handle a variety of breeds, from small to large, and different age groups, including puppies and seniors. My approach to pet care focuses on building trust and understanding each animal's unique personality and needs. I enjoy engaging in activities that promote their well-being, such as exercise, training, and socialization. My reliability and commitment to providing high-quality care have earned me positive recommendations from those I've worked with. If you have specific aspects of my experience or services you're curious about, feel free to ask! I am a stay-at-home mom and can adjust my work schedule as needed! I'm always open to making arrangements, provided we discuss them in advance. As a stay-at-home mom, I find great joy in caring for my pets alongside my family responsibilities. Managing the needs of three pets requires organization and dedication, but I love ensuring they are well-fed, groomed, and taken out regularly for potty breaks. Walking my dog is not only a crucial part of their daily routine but also a wonderful way for me to stay active and enjoy the outdoors. Additionally, I often help out my neighbors by walking their dogs as well. This not only strengthens my bond with my own pet but also allows me to contribute to the community and support fellow pet owners. I take pride in creating a nurturing environment for my pets, ensuring they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and love. If you have any specific questions or areas you'd like to know more about, feel free to ask!

I’m respectful of your home and privacy, keep things tidy, and provide communication updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care and ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved.

Alexus could not have been better! Not only did she take the BEST care of our 5 month old pup, she did it within only a handful of hours! We were in a bind with last minute cancellations and she jumped right on to help. Super responsive and commutative. Great pictures and updates. TYSM

Cassidy is great and we’re so glad we found her! She’s helping us raise our puppy and is happy to come over and meet him and help socialize him. She’s punctual and asks great questions, and she listens to what we have to say about our pups. Thank you, Cassidy! We look forward to having you get your know our pups and become part of their family!!!

Hannah’s communication was wonderful! My kitties were well taken care of. This was the first time that I had someone outside of family take care of them while I was away. I didn’t have any worries that they weren’t getting any attention or affection. I definitely will have Hannah on the top of my list to contact the next time I have to be gone for a few days.

Ashley & Kyle always do a fantastic job! Frankie absolutely loves them! They always give great updates, and I can tell they really care about my pup & making sure everything goes well. Always appreciate them helping with Frankie! I always trust he is in good hands with Ashley & Kyle!

We used Taylor again while we were away for the weekend, and she was wonderful as always! She does such a great job with our pets, and we really appreciate all the photos and updates while we’re away. She’s definitely our go-to sitter! Thank you, Taylor, for taking such great care of them! ❤️

Michelle was absolutely amazing with our cat while we were away on vacation. This was our first time using Rover and it was a super easy process. We really appreciated all the pictures and updates Michelle provided while we were away. Definitely helped ease our mind as this was our first time away from our cat. We will definitely book with Michelle again!

Kelly took wonderful care of my cat when I was out of town. She was on time for all of his visits and sent detailed updates about what they did during each visit. It was clear by the photos she sent that my cat adored her! I would definitely recommend Kelly and will certainly use her again next time I need cat care.

Rebecca is fantastic! I’d trust her and her family with any one of my pets—drop-ins, boarding, you name it. She takes great care of every animal and is so kind, thoughtful, communicative, and easy to work with. You (and your pets!) lucky to have her as a sitter.
