About: Hi! I’m an experienced pet sitter/house sitter (3+ yrs) who is passionate about making pets feel safe and comfortable when I’m watching them! 🤗🐶 I am also an active person, so long walks (5+ miles), farm animal needs, or pet medical needs are totally okay with me. I take pride in being able to make my furry friends feel special and enriched during my time with them, so I frequently have clients tell me that their fur babies miss me when I leave! I am also a neat person who is up for completing any household tasks/chores while I’m watching your space. Outside of pet sitting, I have am a masters student (MPP) and researcher, which means I am in the office only occasionally: Mon-Thur, 10am-4pm (~6hrs) Federal Holidays I am off of work. I have a flexible schedule which allows me to come home for a quick potty break in the middle of the day! I am a very responsible, clean, and honest person who prioritizes communication and safety when I am watching your fur babies or your home. I understand the trust that my clients give me to watch over their homes and pets is very very sacred, and I am honored to give my clients the best possible experience. I frequently send updates (i.e. pictures/videos of my activities with the pets, weather reports if there are storms, etc.). I am also available by phone 24/7 for clients to reach out. I am flexible and open to completing household tasks (i.e. watering plants, cleaning, etc.) if need be.
About: Experienced with puppies and senior pets. I provide calm, reliable care, follow routines closely, and ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Pet care fits into my routine by scheduling time for feeding, walks, and visits. I stay organized with my full-time job and flexible to ensure each pet gets consistent, reliable care. I follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, water, walks, and play. I follow owner instructions, give care and attention, and keep the home clean as possible.
“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!”
“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!”
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.
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.
About: I have been around dogs and cats my whole life. From owning multiple dogs myself and taking care of friends and neighbors pets. I am comfortable around big and small and old and young! I am currently a substitute teacher so my schedule changes from week to week! On days that I don’t take a job and am free to come take care of your pet during the day or stop by in the morning/evening. I live in an apartment with my one cat currently. I have lots of toys for him and clean all of his belongings quite often. My services would only offer me coming to you take take care of your furry friends!
“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 have always loved animals and grew up with many - cats, dogs, birds, bunnies, fish! I have provided pet-sitting services for friends and family in the past and understand the importance of wanting the best care for them. I currently have three sweet kitties of my own. Can't wait to care for your fur-babies! I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I am happy to work to accommodate your needs the best I can so that I can provide care for your fur-baby! I make sure I understand the needs of each pet and what they are used to for feeding, exercise/play, potty, and relaxing. More than happy to take dogs on walks when needed for potty and exercise needs, and I take extra care to make sure litter boxes are cleaned frequently for cats.
About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes, from tiny yorkies to large Rottweilers. I truly believe every pet deserves love, patience, and individualized care. Whether they are a playful pup, a senior dog, or a curious cat! I currently own two cats, Axel and Maeve who have taught me the importance of understanding each pet's unique and individual needs. I also grew up raising my family dog, Meka who is now 10. She is a sassy American Bulldog. I am an active and adventurous person who would love to provide your pet with lots of love and adventure-whether I take them potty in your backyard, cuddle with them on the couch, or take your pet for a long walk to get some energy out. I have been pet sitting for about the last 6 years, I am currently 22 and working full time while knocking out school part time. I will be able to provide the most help on weekends! I currently work full-time Monday through Thursday from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm and Fridays from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. I am able to provide pet care and walks Friday evenings through Sunday evenings and will make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise and love during our time together. I specialize in ear scratches! Along with making sure your pet feels comfortable and safe, I want you as their owner to feel safe and that I am dependable, communicative and flexible. I currently live in a cozy studio apartment, so I prefer caring for pets in the comfort of their own home where they can stay in their familiar routine. I always follow the owner's instructions carefully, including the feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special care your pet may need. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved and comfortable while you are away or even while I am just taking them for a stroll! I love to provide photo updates throughout my time with the pet I am caring for as well- I know I always love to see pictures of my fur babies!

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!

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Elkhorn with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
