“Our flight was delayed and our dogs were staying at Rebecca’s- she was super understanding and kept our fur children safe until we were able to pick them at a later time! They always love staying at their “babysitters” 😂☺️”
“Jamie and Daniel are very kind and caring humans. My Bricksly was super comfortable in their home. They were great to work with on everything. Already planning on asking them to watch my dog again.”
“Sarah is absolutely wonderful. She and her family invited my pup into their home and treated him like he was one of their own. She kept me up to date on how he was doing, sent lots of pictures, spoiled him with treats, and allowed him to get comfortable in her home. I’ll absolutely have Sarah watch my pup again when I need a sitter.”
“Greta was wonderful with my Maggie. Super caring and asked questions so she knew what Maggie was used to. Would definitely recommend Greta and will use her services again when going out of town and not able to take Maggie with me. Thank you so much Greta! Put my mind at ease knowing Maggie was in good hands. 😊”
“Ryleigh was great. She's a genuine animal lover. She boarded my kitty for a week and everything went smoothly. She sent photo updates, which was greatly appreciated since I was pretty nervous about sending my cat off to be boarded for the first time. I will definitely reach out and have her board my cat again if the situation arises. Thanks Ryleigh!”
“Michael, Lindsey and family were wonderful! We were hesitant to leave our less than 5 month old rescue with anyone but had this trip booked long before he landed with us. They sent so many pictures and it was obvious our little Fig was so loved in our absence. We will definitely use this family again! It made traveling much less stressful for us. Thank you!”
“After meeting Derek, I felt very at ease with leaving my dog for his first time away from me. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about dogs and it shows! Derek was very kind and responsive to work with. He sent a daily update on my dog and included the best pictures!”
About: I have been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for dogs from a new puppy all the way to senior pets. Your pup will get plenty of play time and be loved as if it is our own. I currently work full time, but nearby. I am home for lunch each day to allow your pup out for bathroom breaks, play, or possibly a short walk. Fridays and the weekend we are home the majority of the time. I can provide both long and short walks as long as cuddles and play time. I have a fenced in yard and one friendly pup of my own. Our pup is neutered so we can accept any dog. We do have young children so prefer that your pup is familiar with kids. If food aggressive, please let us know so we can accommodate that appropriately. We prefer to crate during the time we are out of the house, but if your dog is not accustomed to that, we can make other arrangements.
About: I own a couple dogs and manage my schedule well while in college and being a dog mom. I value exercise, health and happiness of all pets. I am available on most weekdays in the afternoon. I have a part time job during the weekdays as well and will always update my availability as needed. I have a puppy who is high energy and loves to play. Our daily routine includes 2 meals a day, lots of walks, play time and nap time. My apartment complex has a greenspace where dogs are able to run around freely.
“We have used Emily and her lovely family to care for our senior dog on 2 different occasions and we will not hesitate to reach out again if needed. They have been so flexible and kind both times. I appreciate the great and timely communication. It can be a little nerve wracking leaving an older dog (with some issues) but Emily made us feel very comfortable! 10/10 recommend!”
About: I’ve always had dogs growing up and began to walk dogs for others at a young age. I started dog sitting about 5 years ago! I am a full time student but completely online. I drive across town multiple times a day so it’s easy for me to stop in or have a good walk often! My apartment is able to host small dogs and cats comfortably. Exercise will be a big part of our days as well as just interacting and making sure they are safe.
“Staci is always amazing to work with. My dog is always excited to see her and has a great time. Staci takes such good care of my dog and is a breeze to work with when it comes to communication and scheduling. It’s great to have such a reliable and compassionate sitter. Five stars!”
“Abigail did a fantastic job watching my dog, Asher, while I was on vacation. She provided daily updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. Abigail was reliable and also showed genuine care and affection for Asher. It was evident that Asher enjoyed his time with her, and I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter. I highly recommend Abigail for anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated person to care for their pet!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my entire life and have cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds. This allows me to not only recognize the varied needs and behaviors that different pets may have, but also and be able to sympathize and cater to those specific needs and behaviors while creating bonds with each animal. I have availability for drop in visits and walks Monday-Friday at 10am and boarding (in my home) Friday-Sunday. I also offer doggy park field trips on Fridays at 11:30. I offer pet care (in clients home, or mine for dog friendly pups) whether it’s feeding, bathing, or stimulating playtime and long walks. I have reliable means of transportation and enjoy going to the dog park or on other fun adventures with the pups. I also have a friendly 10 year old tibetan spaniel that loves to tag along if you’re dog enjoys company from furry friends, however I am very understanding of the fact that dogs have different social behaviors and that some dogs require one on one time. A pet in my care will never be put into a situation that puts their or anyone else’s safety at risk.
About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. I grew up with pets and have had my own boxer mix for the past 8 years, so I understand just how much our pets mean to us. With over 10 years of experience in veterinary medicine, I'm comfortable caring for pets of all ages and medical needs, including giving medications and helping with post-surgery recovery. Whether your pet is a playful puppy, a laid-back senior, or just needs lots of love and attention, I'll care for them like they're my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while giving you peace of mind that they're in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have my own pet and already structure my day around providing attention, exercise, and care. I work Monday through Friday, and i can provide care before work, during my hour-long lunch break, and after work for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. On weekends, I have even more time to dedicate to longer walks, cuddles, and fun activities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I focus on creating a calm, loving environment where they feel safe and truly at home. I meet each pet where they are and build trust at their pace, whether they’re energetic and playful or shy and reserved. In my home, pets are treated like family. They’re welcome on the couch, the bed, and anywhere they feel comfortable. My gentle 11-year-old boxer gets along well with other pets and helps create a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Your pet will receive plenty of attention, affection, and personalized care every step of the way.
About: I have cared for dogs large and small, including walks, play time and overnight stays. I also have experience with dogs who don't bond with other dogs in the home, as well knowing how to manage and and be sensitive to dogs with anxiety. I work from home with some flexibility to my schedule, and have the ability to care for some pets in my home. I am also able for house sitting. I live in an apartment with a loft, which gives pets plenty of room. There is a dog friendly area outside where I am able to take dogs on a leash for walks, etc. There is also a dog park in my neighborhood.
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Emerald
This was my first time leaving my baby with someone else, so I was understandably apprehensive! Our meet and greet helped ease my mind, and I’m so glad I chose Jenny. She and her family were so loving and took wonderful care of my demanding little pup. Jenny sent me pictures every day, which I really appreciated and loved receiving while I was away. It was such a relief knowing my baby was in good hands and getting lots of love and attention. I will absolutely use Jenny again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy sitter!
Kathy and family exceed our expectations on taking care of our newly diagnosed blind pup, Winston. We hadn't even wrapped our heads around the fact that Winston was now blind when we had to leave him behind as we took a previously scheduled vacation. Kathy and Dave kept us up to date on how Winston was getting along by sending us photos and letting us know that he was a happy boy. We appreciate the attention to detail that was provided to Winston. We will definitely be repeat customers!! Thanks, again, for taking care of our little guy.
Katie and her husband are amazing doggo-lovers! They took great care of my Winnie girl and kept us updated with pictures and videos the entire time we were on vacation. Would highly recommend using her for any services, I know I will definitely be when we need her next! :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Emerald home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Emerald.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Emerald sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
