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.
“Erika was wonderful!! She accommodated all of our needs when we were out of town and kept us updated with pictures and notes throughout her stay!! We feel so comfortable that our cats are in good hands with her!”

About: I got a dog when I was 3 years old because me and my siblings were afraid of them. My dog, Max, quickly grew up to be my best friend though. As soon as I learned how to drive I would take him with me everywhere I went and he loved it. My parents often relied on me to give him a bath or to take him on walks. He never liked water so he had to be thoroughly talked through in order to get through his bath. I have always just had dogs around me for as long as I can remember. My mom will have friends that ask me to dogsit for them, or my aunts and uncles ask when they go out of town. I recently lost Max because he was really old so I have been trying to find ways to be around dogs because my parents have so no to getting another one. I’m currently working part time with a very flexible schedule so I have plenty of time on my hands to play with your pets. My schedule comes out weekly but is very easy to work around and request days off if needed. I don’t have a fenced in yard but I do have a tie out cable in my backyard for them to still be able to roam free and sniff around. I don’t have any other dogs but my neighbor does have a very friendly dog that likes to come over and visit if your dog wants to have a friend. I have plenty of dog toys depending on which types you prefer for your dog (ik some dogs aren’t very good with stuffed toys). i have 2 dog beds and a water and food bowl but if there is anything your dog prefers to have I can totally take it. I don’t have a crate at the moment but if your dog needs one I can get one.
About: I've had multiple dogs over my lifetime. I have always been a dog lover and am always sure to give them the love, attention, and exercise that they need and deserve. I work from home two days a week, so the only days I am not at the house with the dogs is Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. On the days that I do not work from home, somebody is always at the house until 7:30 and back at the house by 3:30 I have a fenced in back yard, which makes for a nice safe area to play fetch and run around with my kids. For pets staying overnight, they will get walked at least twice, once in the morning and once in the evening. Depending on the owners preference, we can walk through the neighborhood, or we can take a short drive to Zorinsky and walk around the lake. I have three dogs, all with great temperaments and LOVE to play. I also treat our animals like family, so your pets are also more than welcome to be on furniture if that's where they are most comfortable.
About: I’ve had my own pets (dogs and guinea pigs) since I was a young adult and cared for and pet sat for clients of my home cleaning business I owned from 2010-2016. I pride myself on being professional, friendly, punctual and meticulous about the care of your pet, always having their best interest at heart. I currently work for myself on 4 flexible days a week with Tuesday through Thursdays wide open for dog walking or playtime for your furry friend! I have a fully privacy fenced back yard and we own 1 small dog, a Cavachon, named Maggie who loves to play and meet new friends

I work from home so I am available at all times for boarding and can make almost anything work for drop in visits and walking. We have had our dogs for many years so we are well versed in caring for dogs of all wants and needs. We believe time spent with dogs is the most important.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets and plants since I was 14 years old. I have been relied on to take care of animals of all ages, including a puppy who was less than a year old to a 16 year old dog!

About: Hello! Thanks for stopping by! Here’s a little info about myself; I moved to Omaha last year from my hometown in MN. While living there I volunteered at a shelter for 5 years called “4luvofdog.” I would host dogs needing a temporary place to stay while awaiting their “furever” home. Along with that I grew up with big and small dogs as well as cats, and watch my siblings/friends dogs regularly. Watching and caring for animals is a passion and self care hobby of mine. Im excited for this opportunity and look forward to building a relationship with you and your pets! •I have a full time job Monday-Friday. I leave my place around 7:15am and am back by 5:15pm. •For check ins I’m available Monday-Friday 5:15pm-9pm and anytime on weekends. •For overnights; drop off and pick up before 7am or after 5pm on weekdays. Weekends I am available anytime. •I’m very accommodating and easy going! As long as the communication is open and honest, I won’t have a problem accommodating needs :) I live in a very cute neighborhood in downtown Benson and love to go on long walks looking at the real estate! No kids, roommates, or pets! My home does not have a fenced in yard and has stairs leading up to the unit. In others homes I’m happy to show up to walk and play with instructions on how they would like the pup to be cared for. I would love to do a meet and greet before overnights as it often makes the dog (and owner) more at ease when they come for a longer stay! I’m happy to sit for longer periods of time . When I am away at work please let me know if your dog does well free roaming or in a wire cage. I love to send picture/video updates!
About: I have experience in the animal field. I have pets of my own. I have 2 dogs 2 cats and 3 snakes. I have experience in some vet tech care and vet clinic experience such as restraint, pill giving, injections if needed. I know dog/cat body language. I am skilled in reptiles and exotics as well. Please reach out! I would LOVE to do a drop in visit or stay at your home with your pet. I am flexible with the services I offer. I care for your pets in your home the way you would. With love, care and all the snuggles. For drop in visits I would take them on a longer walk and hangout with them.

About: My fiance and I have 10+ years of experience taking care of dogs, and have been the go-to dog sitters for all of our family and friends! Our 2 babies are our world, and are both so good with other dogs. We will take the absolute best care of your babies!! My fiancè and I work full time M-F, 8:00am - 4:30pm. If you need your dogs let out / walked in the evenings, we are happy to help! We are fully available in the evenings and almost every weekend! We have a fully fenced in back yard that our boys love to run around in and I’m sure your babies would too!! We have a dimmed, quiet place to put kennels during the day to make sure they are safe and comfortable while we aren’t there. Our 2 boys have separation anxiety, and have found a comforting spot that works great for them. We have a pet camera available looking at the kennels that we frequently look at to make sure there are no emergencies while we are gone!
“Wonderful experience for our Vizlsa - I can tell she was well taken care of while we were gone. Looking forward to using Zianna again (and again and again). House was also left in great shape. Thank you again!”

“Deborah was great! When she first came to meet my dogs she got right down on the floor with them! I loved that! She had great communication and even sent pictures. I have birds and Deborah didn’t even hesitate to say she would take care of them too! She was amazing. I would definitely recommend her and use her again in the future!!!”

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 ☺️
About: I will take great care of your pets just like I would my own love them just like they were mine and spoil them probably more than you lol we go for walks. If they’re at my home they’re allowed on the furniture, the bed because my home is their home. I do work during the day Mon-Fri but I am home evenings and weekends. I will stay at your home so your pet is more comfortable I will make sure that your pet is well loved and taken care of. We can take walks, fetch balls and get tummy rubs. I love being around animals they bring me great joy. I also enjoy being able to help families take time for themselves without worrying about their pets

About: I have traveled across the US as a horse groom, have 4 years experience with dogs and have worked at multiple board/train facilities. I ride western pleasure and currently working with my trainer to start foals. I grew up with beagles and currently have a pit bull and shepard mix at home! I mostly work in the morning at starbucks and have a lot of free time mid day. My riding is normally at night because of how my trainer has times set up I would prefer having the pets at the owners house. I have noticed a lot of pets dealing with anxious tendencies while at a board facility with other dogs.

Robyn was great with Peanut! She had great communication throughout the entire stay and sent me pictures with every visit. I especially appreciated how detailed her Rover Cards were, it was really reassuring knowing exactly how Peanut was doing while I was away. I felt very comfortable having her check in on Peanut and would definitely recommend her and use her again! 🐾💕

Melissa was a great pet sitter for us! She was very prompt & accommodating to our schedule for drop in visits. Our pets really took to her, as I can tell from the daily pictures that she sent. Our pets were very well taken care of. I would highly recommend Melissa, and plan to book with her in the future. Communication was great, and I felt 100% comfortable with my pets in her care!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Elkhorn is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,041 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Elkhorn. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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. 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.
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.
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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
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.
