“Justine & Justin did a wonderful job with shandy may! They sent plenty of photos to ease my mind while I was away! Shandy had a blast in the fenced in yard and with their dog Max!,”
“The absolute best! Danielle kept us updated everyday while we were away, sent us pictures, and was flexible when our flight arrived late at night. Safe to say, Danielle will be our go-to sitter from now on!”
“Chelsea’s care was absolutely exceptional. From the moment Kola arrived, it was clear she was treated like part of the family. Chelsea is kind, attentive, and genuinely loves the dogs she cares for—and it shows in every detail. Kola was happy, comfortable, and clearly well-loved the entire time. I truly don’t think Kola could have been with a kinder, more thoughtful family. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such wonderful hands. I would recommend Chelsea without hesitation to anyone looking for top-tier care.”
“The best! Traveling is so much easier knowing that our dog is in such good hands! She gets plenty of love and attention while we are gone and we get plenty of updates to let us know how she is doing. Can’t recommend enough!”
“First time using Rover. I am very happy to have found Torey. Being a dog mom who has only sent my dogs to stay with family and friends I was very nervous to send my dogs to a stranger's house. But Torey put me at ease right away at our meet and greet. She is very knowledgeable in all type of animals, ages, and accommodation needs. She walked us through the process and how the set up would be in her home. Our dogs were able to meet her dog to ensure they'd be comfortable together. During our week away Torey sent me daily updates and pictures. I appreciated her thoughtfulness!”
“Kay and Hutch were amazing! Our dog was truly home away from home in their care! They went above and beyond taking care of our dog, here are just a few things they did: lots of pictures, videos and text updates, numerous walks, plenty of toys, and they have a few puzzle boards that they hid treats in! Wonderful people, and a wonderful stay for our pet! We would 100% have them watch our dog again! Our dog had so much fun she has been missing them! Thank you again!”
“5 star household! Our old man was so tired from all the play time. They provided great photos and updates and showed concern when he had a bit of bleeding from tug of war. Knowing they pay attention to details gave us additional peace of mind.”
“Andrea was absolutely wonderful with Pandy! She was very careful, attentive, and made sure Pandy was comfortable and well-cared for throughout her stay. One thing I really appreciated was how thoughtfully she documented Pandy’s activities, she has an amazing eye for photography and shared lots of adorable pictures that truly captured Pandy’s personality. It gave me such peace of mind knowing Pandy was in such good hands.”
About: I've been providing attentive, loving care for pets for over 10 years; including walks, playtime, feeding, administering medication, and plenty of patience, cuddles, and companionship. I am a stay-at-home mom with plenty of time to care for your pup(s). My flexible daily routine allows me to provide attentive supervision, playtime, walks, and affection. My home has a fenced-in yard with plenty of room to run and play, plus two friendly dogs for company. If your pup prefers their own space, my dogs can be easily separated. There's a spacious basement room where your pup can play and relax. If needed, I can crate your pup or use a small pen I have to give puppies and small dogs a little extra room while keeping them safely contained.
“We went on vacation for a week and left our babies at Bryanne’s for the first time. Our dogs had a lot of fun playing with her dogs! When we returned, they were happy and groomed :D. Thanks Bry!”
“Kofi has watched my dog Ubu twice now. I was pleased both times. He was easy to communicate with in discussing my dog, as he had reactive issues towards other dogs. He got along fine with him. I will use him again and would recommend you check him out.”
“This was my first experience on Rover and Kathy made it a great one! I didn’t feel stressed at all about my dog being in her care. She sent photos and updates and was a great communicator. I highly recommend and will definitely request her again in the future! Thank you again! Finn loved his stay.”
“Bob was absolutely wonderful, he sent updates and pictures daily while we were on vacation. It was our first time leaving our pups for a long period of time and I have never felt more comfortable that they were in good hands. We will definitely rebook anytime we go on vacation and I know our dogs will look forward to going back, they were so spoiled being with him.”
“Kristen was simply amazing! She cared for our dog so well while we were gone. Zoey was such a fun companion for our Rosie. Kristen kept us updated everyday with photos and a summary for the day. She walked our dog and kept her very entertained and safe! We will absolutely be using her again in the future!”
“I highly recommend April and her family. They took wonderful care of my pup. They were very responsive the entire time and also administered my dog's medication well. I absolutely loved getting all the picture updates while I was away! Plus, their sons were incredibly sweet with my dog. I will absolutely be booking with them again!”
“Dulce was amazing! My pup can be a little anxious at first but she took the time to make sure he was comfortable and well loved! He really opened up at the end and when I picked him up, I could see how much he loved the whole family 🫶🏻”

Judy took great care of our dog, Nyx, who has special medication needs. Judy kept track of everything to make sure Nyx had her medicine in the morning and the evening. She sent several pictures, and I could see that Nyx was being well taken care of. She has a nice, quiet house with a fenced-in yard for Nyx, a mellow dog who likes quiet. Thank you, Judy!

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Elkhorn can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Elkhorn home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Elkhorn.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Elkhorn. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
You and your Elkhorn sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NE ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
