“Cordelia did a great job! She went above and beyond with bringing our dogs on multiple walk and keeping us updated with pictures, videos, and messages. We will definitely rebook when when need a house sitter again!”
“We have a large fur family (4 dogs and 3 barn cats) and Hannah did a great job balancing time with them and making sure everyone was cared for. We received daily feedback and great photos. She watched over our house and pets and took care of everything!”
About: I love being around animals! I got my first dog when I was 15 and trained him myself. Then I have dogs sat for countless families. I have cared for puppies to senior dogs and of all kinds. I work part time and go to college full time, but I have lots of time in my schedule for pups. I am avalible in the afternoons and on weekends I do not have a fenced in yard, but I have a yard and I love to go for walks and be outside with your dog! I can crate them if preferred or accommodate to many situations.
About: I have been with pets my whole life. When growing up I had multiple cats in our house and I also grew up with a small dog. Once I move out I got my own cat and raised him and now we have 2 larger dogs. I am a teacher and I’m on summer break with a little serving job so I can come by your house many times throughout the day. I will come and play with your pets, feed them how you explain to, bring them on walks or outside to get some energy out when needed.
“Marikita is AMAZING!! She is so sweet and took such good care of Roxy! She was so sweet and came over to meet Roxy before the day. Marikita is such a good communicator and sends photos and updates through out the stay! The best dog sitter I have had on River!”
“Mikayla was both professional and personable! Our pups were relaxed and happy when we got back from our week-long vacation. She did an amazing job with both our 9-year-old dog and our 4-month-old puppy. Not only were they well cared for, but our home was too. I almost don't want to recommend her because I don't want others to snatch her up! I can't thank her enough for the peace of mind we had using Rover for the first time. She's the best!”
About: I have been pet sitting professionally for about 5 years! Only recently have a stopped due to me moving to Nebraska for college. I have had a wide range of clientele from dogs to cats to birds and even large animals! I am currently a sophomore in college at the University of Nebraska with that being said I am available after 2pm most days and Tuesdays and Thursdays after 4pm, I am also available most weekends! I have a very good attention to detail, I have worked in a vets office, as well as very dependable and trustworthy! I also am very big on an open line of communication.
About: I’ve had family dogs my whole life and love to do things outdoors with my dogs. I have two dogs right now one old and one a puppy both with completely different personalities. I’m a student at the university of Nebraska so weekends and afternoons are when I’m most available. I don’t have many other commitments besides classes so I’m very available. I live in my family’s home in Minnesota during summer and breaks but live in apartment in Lincoln during the school year. Brining pets to my apartment wouldn’t work, so I would have to go to clients home.
“Megan did a fantastic job caring for our pup while we were out of town. She was very responsive and sent updates and pics everyday making our time away so much more relaxing knowing our pup was well cared for. I would recommend Megan to anyone looking for a compassionate, reliable sitter. Thank you Megan for taking wonderful care of Kobe for us!! ❤️❤️”
“Keeghan was wonderful sitting with our two dogs. She sent us regular photos and updates. When we returned home, we saw that she had made herself a checklist to make sure she didn't miss anything. One of our dogs is very anxious when fireworks start up, and Keeghan was in tune with that and comforted her. Our home was spotless when we came home; she even started laundry from her guest room. We would gladly have Keeghan sit for us again.”
About: Dogs and cats have been a big part of my life since I was a baby. My family never had less than 4 dogs at a time all different breeds and different sizes! I have taken care of friends and family's dogs since I was old enough to be home alone. I have also ridden horses and worked at several barns that had lots of cats and dogs, including breeding large mastiffs and mini golden doodles, that I helped take care of. My main hobby when I want to get out of the house is training my own dogs on and off leash. Not only have I grown up with dogs and cats, I have also worked as a vet assistant for a traveling vet working with puppies all the way up to seniors. I would love to share my love with your pets. I have plenty of time to play with and take care of your pets! We have 2 very friendly dogs of our own that we take out daily for exercise. I am available all times of the day and can take on last minute requests. I have two very friendly dogs and lots of places to take your dogs on walks or go play at a park in my area. Everything is your choice, I can crate your dog when needed if you chose, we could have lot of activities or none, all your choice! If you chose for me to come to your home, I can follow whatever routine you would like!
About: I love spending time with animals and getting to meet all different types of breeds while getting to watch them and care for them at the same time. I am going to school part time right now and have lots of extra free time spent at home for taking care of pets. I am okay with having pets in my home as well as traveling to others homes to care for the animals. I treat the animals i watch as if they are my own making sure i tend to their needs and make them feel safe and cared for!
About: Ive taken care of fur babies for several years. Different breeds, ages and sizes. I’ve helped with medication, bathes, after surgery care and so much more! I do not work weekends. During the week I work in home health and hospice care with flexibility. I always have the ability to adjust my schedule. I will never accept your fur baby without the appropriate time to love and care for them. I have a fenced in yard and very sweet neutered chocolate lab. Kennels if needed. Like to let fur babies run free. Anything it takes to make everyone comfortable!
About: I have grown up with big dogs, cats and birds my whole life. I have a big heart for animas all sizes. I have watched dogs and cats for numerous years for friends and family members I typically have an open morning schedule. I work at my other job from 2-10, so I would wake up whenever needed. I have Thursdays off which will my fullest availability. I am very mobile and able to come to you at your convenience. I have a one cat at home and he is declawed. I live in an apartment complex so coming to you is more convenient.
“My husband & I have used Rover in the past (taking our 3 dogs to the sitter for overnights), but it’s approaching 3, or so years now since doing so. We have been fortunate having family members watch our 3 Brittany’s in our home, finding they do much better in their own environment & it also eases my mind. While having a personal acquaintance confirmed 2 months in advance to be lined up for an overnight with them, 3 days before it blew up in our face. We were left scrambling, as our family was unavailable. So, I to Rover, searching for someone who would not only care for 3 dogs, but also commute 20-25 minutes, outside of the Lincoln city limits. Daryn even drove to our home, 2 days before to meet our trio/us & see where she’d be staying! She is such a friendly & sweet, young lady, not to mention, was wonderful with our dogs… they ALL loved her!! She was great about sending me photos, too! We will definitely rebook with Daryn and I will make sure to tell others about her! Thank you so much again, Daryn!”
About: I have worked with dogs for 5 years. I have helped puppies adjust to new homes and people. I have also aided senior dogs with medications and other special requirements. I am usually always available all week, and on weekends. I have a part-time job, however it is easy to work around if needed for clients. I try to provide any type of care my clients' pets may require. Along with any additional requests that the clients may have to give.
About: I have two wheaten terriers and know all that is involved when it comes to walks, food, play, etc. I’ve watched my neighbors’ dogs overnight, trained my own, and love meeting new ones as well! I currently am between classes, so I am quite open to your needs: weekends, early mornings, late nights, you name it! The more time with your pets the merrier. Making sure dogs are fed, walked, and played with is top priority—something that comes naturally to me. I occasionally wash dogs if they are considered to be too dirty.
About: I have a 6 year old Morkie who is my family dog and a 1 year old Cavalier of my own, and I’ve cared for dogs ranging from 8 weeks to 14 years old, weighing between about 10 and 80 lbs. I have experience with puppy training and am comfortable handling different age and health related care needs. I’m also experienced with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and ensuring pets are safe and comfortable. I’m available during both weekdays and weekends, and my schedule is flexible, so I can adjust my routine to meet your pet’s needs. Since I already care for dogs regularly, I’m comfortable maintaining feeding and walk schedules while providing them plenty of attention as well. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I make sure pets are always supervised, follow feeding and walking instructions carefully, and maintain a safe environment. I’m experienced caring for both small and large dogs, and I will take time to help pets feel comfortable and reduce their stress while you’re away.
About: As a dedicated animal lover with over 15 years of experience caring for pets, I provide trustworthy, compassionate, and fun pet care services. I was raised sharing my life with dogs and cats since I was born, and developed a deep understanding of their needs and personalities. I have trained my own dogs in basic commands and am very good at giving pets oral medicine when/if needed. As a volunteer at the Humane Society, I've had the opportunity to work with cats and dogs, helping with daily care, socialization, laundry/cleaning, and enrichment activities. This experience has not only deepened my love for animals but also my skills in animal handling and care. I am an online student and have a pretty flexible schedule, being almost always available for walks, housesitting or visits and in-home boarding, entertainment and cuddling. AT THIS MOMENT I CAN ONLY TAKE CARE OF PETS IN YOUR HOUSE. IF THIS MESSAGE IS HERE, IT IS CURRENT. I care for pets in your home or mine, providing feeding, exercise, playtime, and lots of love. I can tailor my services to meet your pet's individual needs and ensure they feel comfortable and happy while you're away. I live in an appartment within 50 feet from a fenced dog park (it is the area right next to my building).

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Emerald walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Emerald maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Emerald 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!

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 .
