“Liz was great!! My fur kids just loved her. She even took time to come over before the scheduled date to meet my kids and learn their routine. She was so good with them and sent the best pictures!!”
About: Ive owned one or more dogs since I was a kid. Ive participated in a variety of dog training from classes at PetSmart to Nebraska Dog Training. Working from home, there will be limited times pets will be left unsupervised while in my care. I am Working from home full time which makes me available for frequent potty breaks. This also allows for several opportunities for social interaction throughout the day. I have 5 acres of land. Not fenced available, but outside time on a leash can be offered to ensure safety. I have two dogs to provide company. An 8 yr old female and 9 month male puppy.
About: Hello, my name is Tracy and I'm a total dog person! Although I can't have a furry friend at home due to my living situation, I volunteer as a dog walker at the local capital humane society here in town. I've had the pleasure of working with dogs of all breeds and sizes, from tiny Chihuahuas to massive Great Danes! There's nothing better than seeing their tails wag and spoiling them with pets and treats. My dream is to own a large piece of land where I can provide a forever home for senior and handicapped animals. Until then, I'll continue to volunteer and do my part to help these amazing companions! I currently work full time and have a part time job on top of that i also volunteer 1 day a week at the capital humane society as a dog walker! i enjoy taking walks around the park and or neighborhood, after our long walk then we would go to the dog park and meet all our other furry friends!
About: Owned dogs all my life with experience from puppy to end of life. I truly believe our pets are part of the family and should be treated as such I often work from home with a lot of flexibility. I am up early and stay up late so can be accommodating to many schedules I do not have a fenced yard, I leash walk animals regularly. Historically with my own dogs I have underground fencing. Safety and attention are my concerns for animals
About: I have worked at a veterinary clinic as a kennel assistant, at a doggy daycare as park staff, and at a wildlife rehab as seasonal staff. These jobs have required me to monitor behavior and symptoms to ensure the health and safety of all involved. I work part time, leaving me with much time for looking after animals. I am off on weekends and am looking for something full-filling to fill that time. My shifts at my job are usually 6 hours but no more than 8. In high school, I watched many pets in my hometown while their families were away. Lists and rules are very important to me so that I know exactly what is expected and how your furry family member would have the best experience.
About: I worked at Kenl Inn full time for about two years! I worked off and on after that for about another year! We hiked them securely on a trail and strictly observed behaviors in their rooms and also with other dogs. I learned a lot about dog behavior from those years and how to handle dogs on walks. Working there so many years also built up a lot of muscle to walk larger dogs as well as the small ones. I work full time for the post office currently! I occasionally will pop into Kenl Inn to lend a hand! Usually my evenings are free if a night out is wanted and my dog is usually with her grandma on weekends anyhow! I am usually free after 5 PM but my job can make it tricky with the unpredictability of it. I am also down to do very early morning things before I work at 7:30 AM. I am usually off on Sundays as well! I am very respectful of other's homes and training styles! Every dog is different and have different needs. I have given meds and dry pilled if needed. I have no issues with it. I have handled aggressive and reactive dogs and am very familiar with how to handle them and myself in an antsy scenario.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my strong attention to detail, genuine love for animals, and experience with pets of all ages and needs. I have hands-on experience training puppies with basic commands and crate training, as well as providing gentle, attentive care for senior pets who may need medication, extra patience, or mobility support. I’m also highly reliable and communicative I always keep pet parents updated with messages and photos, so they feel connected and reassured while they're away. My calm, friendly approach helps pets feel safe and at ease, whether it’s their first time with a sitter or they need special care. I treat every animal like they’re my own, and that personal connection makes all the difference. Pet care fits into my daily routine as a consistent and rewarding responsibility. Every morning starts with feeding my dog and taking him for a quick walk to get some energy out before the day begins. In the evenings, I usually spend about 30 minutes either going on a longer walk or playing fetch at the park. On weekends, I make time for grooming like brushing his fur or giving him a bath if needed and sometimes schedule vet checkups or pick up new toys or treats. It’s a routine that keeps me grounded, and it’s always nice to end the day with a loyal companion by my side. When caring for pets in either my home or a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and consistent environment. For dogs, I ensure they have regular feeding times, fresh water, daily walks, and playtime to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. I also follow any specific instructions the client provides, such as administering medications or adhering to training routines. If I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s regular schedule to reduce stress from their owner's absence. I clean up after the pet, monitor behavior for signs of illness or anxiety, and send updates (with photos) to the owner for peace of mind. Whether it’s overnight care, walking, or short visits, my goal is to make each pet feel safe and loved while their owner is away.
About: Looking for a reliable, caring, and energetic dog walker? Look no further! Whether your furry friend needs a quick stroll or a long adventure, I offer tailored dog walking services to keep your pup happy, healthy, and entertained. With a passion for dogs and a commitment to their well-being, I ensure every walk is filled with fun, exercise, and plenty of tail wags. Let me help you give your dog the attention they deserve while you take care of your busy schedule! I’m a full time student at UNO. I currently work part-time in the mornings so I’m available afternoons and evenings to take care of your pet! I will love your pets as if they are my own. I guarantee the safety of your pet and the privacy of your home. I also will respect any boundaries you may set for your pet.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,099 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Elmwood. 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.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

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.
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.
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.
