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.
“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!”


About: My experience caring for dogs has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each pet’s unique needs. As a rescue dog mom, I have a special place in my heart for shy, anxious, senior, and special-needs dogs. I understand that building trust takes time, and I always use a gentle, positive, non-violent approach. I’m comfortable following specific routines, administering care as instructed, and giving pets the extra reassurance they need to feel safe. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, comfortable, and cared for just like they would at home. 🐾 I work Sundays through Wednesdays, with long shifts on Sundays, so I’m unavailable that day. Monday through Wednesday, I’m happy to care for pets as long as they’re comfortable being home alone while I’m at work. My home is dog-proofed, and I’m comfortable with dogs who are not kennel-trained or who have free roam of the house. I want every dog to feel safe and comfortable in an environment that suits their needs! My home has a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time and a walking trail right out back for walks and good sniffs! I have one shy but friendly small pup who loves people and typically lets other dogs make the first move. She is very gentle and respectful of other dogs’ space, making her a great companion for dogs who enjoy having a calm canine friend around. I want every dog in my home to feel safe, comfortable, and free to settle in at their own pace.
“I’m late posting a review, but wanted to be sure to recognize the wonderful care my Lily beagle was given by Colin, Danielle and family. This was my first time to have Lily stay with them, so was a bit nervous. It went so well, I sure hope they are available when I next have to travel. Can’t get a better review then that from me!”
About: Im very patient when it comes to teaching. I love nurturing animals and helping them become healthier. I can teach potty training and no leash pulling! Im currently working for delivery services so Im very convenient for any hours! I usually get up around 8:00 am and take my dog out. Then feed him an hour later and then again around 5. He also gets little healthy snacks in between such as fruit or plain greek yogurt! I have a gated backyard and a buddy to keep your friend company :). I also make sure everyone is playing safely and fair. I have an attic room to myself plenty of space.
“Michelle and her family took great care of our dog Cash! He is an older dog and needs a lot of attention, and Michelle was so kind and caring! Cash also loved her big fenced backyard. He was calm and relaxed when we dropped him off as well as when we picked him up. We appreciated the daily pictures and updates! We will definitely call Michelle again!”


“We had such a great experience with Kalli watching our dog and cat for 5 nights! She was super flexible, communicative, and kept us updated with pictures and messages throughout our trip. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. We would absolutely use her again! 🐾”

“Super friendly, beautiful home on top of it all has frenchies. So very knowledgeable about this type of breed. Next vacation I will be using her. Was updated everyday about my Berkie and didn’t have to worry about my fur baby, thank you so much”

“Dorinda was fantastic! She is super responsive to messages, let me bring Jax over beforehand to make sure it was going to be a good match and kept me updated on how he was doing while I was away. She made me feel very comfortable leaving Jax in her care”


About: I grew up with dogs, so caring for pups has always been a natural part of my life. I’m lucky to live near several parks—including a dog park—so pups will get plenty of opportunities for exercise and fresh air. My schedule also allows me to stop by during lunch breaks, which helps keep pets on their normal routine. Walking is also one of my favorite pastimes so your pet can expect lots of those :) I currently have a couple of cats of my own who are comfortable around other animals for overnight stays. I know how much I miss my kitties when I’m out, so you can expect pictures and updates throughout the days. I aim to provide dependable, attentive care just like I’d hope for my own. Am no stranger to medical needs as well and am comfortable providing medicines as needed Weekends I am completely available to stop by in your home or I offer overnight stays at my home. I have a roommate whose schedule is available during the day so overnight stays can be offered during the week as well. I work a typical 9-5 throughout the week but am available before, during lunch or afterwards in the evenings during the week for stop ins depending on location I have a large backyard and localized access to multiple dog parks and trails. I own two kitties myself that are comfortable around both dogs and cats.
“Alexis did a fantastic job looking after my dog Barrington for the weekend and I would highly recommend her as your pet sitter! She sent lots of updates and pictures and her communication was fast and easy to work with. Her dog Simon is a sweetheart and got along with Barrington really well. Alexis even brought out pet steps for Barrington to use that were from her old dog which was super thoughtful. Alexis is kind and her love for animals is evident!!”

“Melanie was fantastic! She took the time to get to know both me and my dog before we left, and she was very thorough in going over his feeding instructions and walking routine. Every day we were away, she sent updates with photos of their walks, feeding time, playtime, and how he was doing throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. I could tell my dog was well cared for and happy while we were gone. I will definitely be booking Melanie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter!”

“Kathi looked after our dog who is very nervous with alot of anxiety toward new people. She knew exactly how to approach him to make him feel comfortable. When our flight was cancelled to return home she kept him an extra night.”

“Brandon took great care of my dog Snickers for a couple of nights, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. His home was clean, well-organized, and thoughtfully set up to be safe for curious dogs like mine. He’s friendly, easygoing, and very communicative—kept me updated the whole time, which gave me real peace of mind. Snickers came home happy and relaxed. I’ll definitely be rebooking with him the next time I need a sitter!”

“We can not be more pleased with how much Love Dara showed our Geriatric Deaf Boxer. Everyday she would send pictures and updates. Will definitely use her for every sitting need. Our pup can't wait to visit again.”

“This is the 2nd time we have had Jeffrey watch Maggie in the last few weeks. When we got to his house to drop her off she immediately ran to his front door to get in. We are thrilled the way he takes care of our dog!”

“Wonderful experience once again with Maria. We don't board our babies with anyone else!!! They make it easy to have peace of mind our babies are well cared for when we are away!!! Would recommend ro anyone!”

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. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
