“Mark was absolutely wonderful with our dogs! So attentive and went above and beyond, especially during a very stressful time for animals…4th of July. He was very communicative, and we always knew what was going on with our pups regularly. It meant so much to us that we could relax on vacation knowing they were well taken care of! Will definitely be working with Mark in the future!”
“Much appreciate Theresa’s willingness to look after our pups again and deal with things as they popped up. We’ll be booking with her again soon. Tess and Tuck enjoy it when she comes to visit.”
“Charity did an amazing job dog sitting for my miniature poodle baby Nala. She was always loving and caring towards Nala. Sent lots of update texts and pics!! Came home to the house being just the way I left it. Will use Charity for all future trips and dog walking services!!”
“Rachel was very nice to take my booking at the last minute. She did a great job watching Claire and responding to me. My dog is not the easiest to look after. She let me know when my dog got temporarily sick from breaking into her treat bag. She cleaned up everything before I got home.”
“Linda was very attentive to Maisie and Oakley! Linda followed their early AM schedule and frequent outs. Lots of love and walks. Great communicator, with daily photos of events and text updates. Initially, Linda was very concerned about some quirks each dog had, but after talking to me, she realized those quirks were no cause for concern. Time away from home flew by and we came back to a peaceful and tidy home! Thank you, Linda!”
“Jessah was absolutely amazing! She was able To watch our cat and dog on short notice and did a great job of letting us know how the fur babies were doing and getting along. Would totally recommend her if you need your babies taken care of!”
“Jessica was a God send. She recently house sat for us while on vacation. She made sure my babies got all the love and spoiling they are used too while also easing my mind. This allowed me to enjoy our vacation without worrying if they were ok. The communication was great and she sent a ton of photos, which I loved! She also left the house spotless. Jessica exceeded my expectations and we will definitely use her again.”
“Kylene was very personable and it was easy to see how much she enjoys animals. Was very reliable. Arrived when expected. She kept great contact by sending periodic pics to assure me Lydia was comfortable and being cared for. I would recommend her and I will definitely use her again.”
About: I have worked with dogs at a dog daycare for 7 years, and during that time I have learned to take care of several dog breeds. I have also owned dogs and cats my whole life, and have taken care of birds, gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs and a chameleon in the past. I'm quite active and will take dogs on walks at least once every 1-2 hours. Attention to detail is important and I will follow all cleaning and feeding instructions my clients give me, including animals that need to take medicine. I am working part-time at a doggie daycare so I have plenty of time to play with your pups and kittens, or to give them some extra care and attention that they may need. I'm mostly free during the evenings, with Tuesdays and Wednesdays off. I have a small crate for smaller pups and kitties if needed, a 4-year-old Cavamalt named Willow that will keep any of your animals company and a 14-year-old cat named Zoey. (This is at my place- which I am unable to provide due to current conditions as I live with my grandmother.) Whatever instructions my clients leave me I will do everything to the last word! Cleaning, feeding, bathing, medicine, etc. I will walk and play with your animals for as long as they want to while keeping the house tidy and clean of possible potty accidents. Special instructions for your pets? Consider it done.
“Paloma was an outstanding dog sitter. She was extremely dependable and responsible, treated our home with respect, and truly fell in love with our two large dogs. Her communication was excellent, and it was clear she cared for our dogs as if they were her own. When we returned, our home was left neat and tidy. We would absolutely use Paloma’s services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”
“Carolyn was amazing! She kept me updated with photos of my dog and cat and left me some notes about what they all did together! She was great at replying to all of my messages and she left my home cleaner than I left it! This was my first experience with a “house/dog/cat sitter,” while I was out of town, and she made me feel so comfortable! I knew my pets were being taken care of and loved! (And I knew they were getting above and beyond care). She is a very kind individual, and I would recommend her for any of your future pet sitting needs!”

My top priorities are safety, trust, and maintaining a calm, comfortable environment. I always follow each pet’s routine closely — including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions — to help them feel secure and stress-free.

About: Hi! I'm a fourth-grade teacher with a lifelong love for animals, so caring for others comes naturally to me. I'm dependable, responsible, and understand how important it is to know your pets are safe and happy while you're away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply relaxing with company, I'll make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family! As a fourth-grade teacher, I have a consistent schedule that allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine.

I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and will treat your pets with the same love, patience, and care that I would my own. I believe every pet is happiest when they can stick to their normal routine, so I take the time to learn each pet's schedule and preferences.

“Anna did a great job with our two puppies and under unusual circumstances because the maintenance people needed access to our townhome while she was there to fix an electrical issue so they were in an out. She was very communicative and it was great to have her. I’ve had her watch a dog of mine before and was impressed now as I was then. Thanks Anna!”

The average cost of House Sitting in Fort Calhoun is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $43 and $47 per night.

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 Fort Calhoun 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 Fort Calhoun 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.
Tip: 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 Fort Calhoun 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!
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 , 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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
