“Once a day drop in visits 30 minutes: Communication amazing. Very sweet and understanding. My kitties loved her. Enjoyed the photos while I was away missing them 🙂”
About: I love dogs and cats. I have had them my whole life! My labrador just passed away so I am looking for some pet interaction! I miss her dearly. I have taken care of both dogs and cats with special needs, behavioral issues, and senior pets. I love taking both on walks, car rides, park trips, etc. whatever they like to do! Currently working a hybrid job so I can work from home if needed. I’m more of a home body so I will have plenty of chill time with your fur babies. I also like going on outdoor adventures like walks and dog parks weather permitting. At home I have a fenced yard in a quiet neighborhood. There is one friendly dog and one solitary but other pet friendly senior cat. Both can be secluded to the upstairs if needed.
“Melissa is such a wonderful human being and we were so happy with how much she loved and looked after our special-needs cat. Our cat has some medical issues which requires medication (which he does not like to get of course) as well as more litter cleaning and fresh water changes than 95% of cats. Melissa was happy to do these extra things for our sweet boy and she sent photos from every visit which clearly showed how much our boy loved her as well!! :) We would have her come any time to look after our animals and would recommend her without any hesitations to anyone else that has a high needs animal or just any animal that loves having belly rubs and someone giving them tons of affection! :)”
“I just can’t say enough about how wonderful Marc is. He is reliable, punctual, always pleasant, and best of all, fantastic with my dogs. They have accepted him and bonded with him which is a bit unusual for both of them. I think it speaks to Marc’s way with animals. He’s great!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have cared for them most of my life. I currently have a friendly lab mix who loves playing with other dogs. I take her on daily walks and give her lots of outdoor time. I’m confident handling dogs and happy to help however I can! I currently work part-time and go to school, but I do have plenty of time to give your pets love and attention! My schedule is very flexible, and I’m happy to adjust to your needs I live in a pet-friendly apartment near a beautiful lake, perfect for long walks and playtime. My building is secure, and I always prioritize your pup’s safety—whether that’s using a secure leash, avoiding busy areas, or sticking to shady paths on hot days. My own dog is very friendly and used to having other dogs around. If needed, I can crate your pup and provide a calm, clean indoor space for rest between adventures.
“Katelyn was amazing with our golden! She sent along many pictures during her visits and you could tell just how much he loved having her there. Katelyn was also very communicative, prompt with visits, and super kind when we met!”
“Patrick and Jillian were fantastic. They took excellent care of my dog while I was away and sent consistent updates. They really went above and beyond. Thank you so much!”
About: I’m back after a short hiatus!! I’m a lifelong animal lover but cannot have pets of my own at this time because of my housing situation. But turns out, this works out perfectly! So many people need a loving, responsible and reliable person to care for their homes and pets while they are away, so I am able to help out and also get my puppy/kitty cuddle fix! My 22 year old daughter and I do many jobs together, so we are basically two sitters in one! (Of course, I am always the sitter on any job booked through Rover.) I am self employed, so I have flexibility to work around your pet’s needs. I am available to spend the time needed to not only show your pets love and attention, but see to the needs of your home, plants, mailbox… you get the idea! And I will always be transparent about the times that I do need to be away, so that you can be sure you are choosing the right sitter for your pet’s needs. I do my very best to accommodate whatever your furbabies are used to so that they have the least possible amount of disruption to their lives when you are away. My hope is that your pets will soon see me as part of their family and will feel just as comfortable when I am there as when you are. (Don’t worry…. I will make sure they still love YOU more!)
“Gabby is amazing with our Bowie boy! He absolutely adores her & goes BANANAS with excitement every time she walks in the door. We originally hired her to cover a vacation, but Bowies loves her so much we are going to have Gabby come back weekly! He’s a big, strong dog & she handles him & his craziness with ease!”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life! I grew up on a farm and learned my heart is wherever the animals are. Moving to Omaha from my small town, I’ve missed being around animals more than anything. I’m so excited to meet your furry friends and give them all the love. I’m currently a full time sales rep. I’m on the go a lot but that being said majority of my territory is Omaha. I do plan my schedule in advance so if I’m ever going further a day I will be sure to let you know. Weekends I’m available. My apartment has lots of space and want to make sure let’s feel comfortable. I currently dog sit for friends and family so my apartment is dog friendly! We have an amazing dog park and lots of great areas to go on long walks.
“Rebecca was so easy to work with ,she’s caring and professional she made me feel comfortable with leaving my pups for the first time. We definitely will be using her again! I’m very pleased with this service thank you from Me Tucker and Homer?”
“Darcy isn’t just amazing with my dog but she’s an amazing person as well. I am always a nervous mama leaving my baby behind when I go places but Darcy’s communication and all her pictures made me feel at ease because I knew she was in good hands. Couldn’t recommend her enough??”
About: I have cared for my family's two dogs for many years whenever my family travels, giving me hands-on experience with feeding, walking, playtime, administering routines, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I also volunteered with the Nebraska Humane Society for four years, where I worked with different animals and gained useful knowledge and skills. I genuinely love spending time with animals and believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and individualized care. My goal is to make your pet feel loved and comfortable while you're away. I am currently working part time (8-5 Tuesdays-Thursdays) so I am available Thursday-Monday full time for your pet! Even when I do have work, I have an hour break where I am able to stop by and take your doggo for a walk! I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routines in a familiar environment. I follow each pet owner's instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and any special care requirements. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while also respecting the client's home by keeping it clean and secure. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care so both pets and their owners have peace of mind while they're away. I will also be sure to send pictures as often as you want!

Robyn has been wonderful with our dogs. One of our dogs is blind and requires injections and she is extremely caring and compassionate with him. Our other one is super needy and wants all the attention, which Robyn always gives her. I would recommend Robyn to everyone!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Elkhorn 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!
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .
