“Jyoti was the perfect person to watch my one year old golden, Milo! I loved her flexible availability and willingness to work with my schedule. She was able to come multiple times a day and take my boy on a walk and even let him swim in our pool! I feel like he probably had more stimulating days with her than he does with me! I will absolutely be rebooking whenever I go out of town!!”

“Lauren was amazing! We were visiting from out of town and needed to find a dog sitter. Lauren was trustworthy, dependable, knowledgeable, kind and genuine. We needed drop-ins for 2 days and she sent me check-ins, pictures and videos. She loved on our pooch and even left us some dog treats after her last visit. So sweet! We highly, highly, highly recommend her!”

“They did an AMAZING job with our trio of kitties. They even got our grumpy old cat who doesn’t trust anyone to come around :) I would totally recommend them to anyone. They took care of our kitties as if they were their own and were great about communication and keeping an eye on everything.”

About: I’ve personally owned dogs, cats, exotic reptiles, birds, and small mammals, with experience caring for pets ranging from kittens to elderly dogs. I love my dog and cats like they’re my own children, and they mean the world to me. My love for animals led me to volunteer at an exotic animal rescue and work professionally as a Lab Manager, caring for a wide variety of animals. I’ll treat your pets with the same care, patience, and love I give my own. I am compassionate, attentive, and committed to making every pet feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m hoping to fill my late mornings, afternoons, and early evenings with caring for pets and helping families with whatever pet-care services they may need. I would prefer the pet / animal to be as comfortable as possible with little to no stress. So familiar environments for them is an important factor to consider.

About: I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care — that’s why I provide a safe, structured, and loving home environment where pets are treated like family, not “boarded animals.” I provide in-home pet care with a strong focus on safety, routine, and individualized attention. My home is designed to offer a calm, supervised environment where pets feel secure, understood, and comfortable throughout their stay. I am Pet CPR and First Aid certified with over 40 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats in personal, rescue, and foster settings. I have worked with puppies, seniors, anxious pets, large breeds, and high-needs cases requiring rehabilitation, structure, and behavioral support. I also have extensive medical experience, including administering insulin for diabetic pets, subcutaneous fluids, oral and injectable medications, and specialized topical treatments. I am confident and gentle when caring for senior and medically complex pets. Fluent in English and Spanish, with additional working knowledge of Korean, I am able to clearly communicate and follow detailed care instructions from a wide range of pet owners. Daily Rates are based on a 24h stay (anything over each 24h is an additional stay) *All intact canines over the age of 18mo are a $50 daily rate and holidays $60 **All puppies under 18mo are a $50 daily rate and $60 on holidays ***All spayed/neutered canines over the age of 18mo who weigh over my Rover weight limit of 41 - 81lb is a $46 daily rate & $56 on holidays Canines over 81lb are a $50 daily rate and $60 on holidays ****Special needs pups that require medication is an additional $5 daily. Pick up & Drop Off Times are as Followed: Mon-Thurs from 10am - 9pm Fri-Sat 7am - 9pm Sun 12 noon - 7pm Daily Rates are based on a 24h stay (anything over each 24h is an additional stay) *All intact canines over the age of 18mo are a $50 daily rate and holidays $60 **All puppies under 18mo are a $50 daily rate and $60 on holidays ***All spayed/neutered canines over the age of 18mo who weigh over my Rover weight limit of 41 - 81lb is a $46 daily rate & $56 on holidays Canines over 81lb are a $50 daily rate and $60 on holidays ****Special needs pups that require medication is an additional $5 daily. Because I operate my pet care business from home, my daily schedule is fully centered around the pets in my care. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, structured routines, and timely attention throughout the day. Pets are never left unattended for extended periods. My schedule is built around feeding times, potty breaks, playtime, medication routines, and rest periods to ensure each pet receives reliable, attentive care in a calm and stable environment. Safety and structure are a top priority in my home. My property is fully fenced with additional enclosed outdoor areas designed for safe, controlled activity suited to different sizes, ages, and temperaments. Pets are always supervised in a calm, structured environment where their safety and comfort come first. This includes active oversight throughout the day to ensure each pet is secure, accounted for, and emotionally at ease. For the safety of all animals in my care, I do not accept reactive or aggressive dogs. Each pet is carefully screened through a meet-and-greet to ensure compatibility and a safe, balanced environment. My own pets are professionally trained and well-socialized, contributing to a stable and peaceful home atmosphere.

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. From daily walks and playtime to feeding, administering medications, and providing lots of love and attention, I treat every dog like family. I’m reliable, attentive, and always focused on keeping your pet safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. With my open summer schedule, I have plenty of time and flexibility to dedicate to pet care. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays, I’m available throughout the day to give your dog the attention and care they deserve. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine, and I truly enjoy spending my free time with furry friends! Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for your pet. In my home, pets have plenty of space to relax, play, and feel at ease, just like part of the family. I follow feeding routines, provide fresh water, regular potty breaks, walks, and lots of playtime and affection. In a client’s home, I respect your pet’s familiar environment and stick closely to your routines and instructions. I make sure they feel secure, entertained, and loved while you’re away, keeping stress to a minimum. Cleanliness, communication, and care are always top priorities.

About: I have one dog that is turning 5 and have had her for over 4 years. I have taken care of other dogs in the family as well. I also have stayed over nights for extended family pets! I'm currently working part-time and in school Monday and Wednesday mornings. So I still have lots of time to spend with your pets! The safety and comfortability of your pet is my number one priority. So I will do my best to give them time to get used to me and prevent anxiety. I take my dog on several walks during the day when it isn't too hot (don't wanna burn any pet paws!) And I play with her all throughout the day. We practice tricks I've taught her and we snuggle up on the couch!

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve owned and cared for many different kinds of animals throughout my life, including dogs, cats, reptiles, bunnies and even frogs! No matter the species, I’ve always loved getting to know their personalities and making sure they feel safe and loved. I started pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors as a teenager and continued caring for pets throughout adulthood. I’ve always genuinely enjoyed it, and I know how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pets while you’re away. I currently have a 16-year-old cat who prefers to be the only animal in the house, so he’s happily enjoying his quiet retirement. 😸 Our pets bring so much happiness into our lives, and I treat every pet I care for as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs a walk, some playtime, companionship, or simply someone to make sure they’re safe and cared for, I’d love the opportunity to help. Your pets deserve to feel just as loved and comfortable while you’re away as they do when you’re home. 🐶🐱❤️ I work part-time and I’m home half of the week with my young daughter. We have lots of free time and more than enough energy to help with your pets! I am generally available from 11 AM till around 6 PM at night. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment and make sure each pet’s individual needs, routines, and boundaries are respected. I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes, and surroundings to help keep pets safe, and I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you provide.

I am currently working part-time, but I am planning on transitioning to pet-sitting full-time. Animals deserve great care when their owners are away. My visits with your pet/pets will be scheduled as requested. I will make sure that their environment is safe and clean up any accidents. Their food will be given as you request and water bowls will be be replenished. Going for walks and outdoor playtime is also available.

About: I have had dogs in my life since I was 2. I love fur babies more anything. In fact, I wanted to be a veterinarian for the longest time so in high school, I took 4 years of vet assisting, shadowed at a vet clinics and became certified vet assistant! As I got older, I ultimately switched career paths. I work from home now in corporate event planning. This gives me the flexibility to be home with my pets and hopefully take care of yours as well! I do work full time, but fortunately work from home which gives me plenty of flexibility! My pups always get plenty of play time during the work day! Boarding would be perfect. I do have the time to be able to go on walks as well. I have a big fenced yard and have my own dogs. They are all very friendly and love playing with eachother and other dogs. They would love to have another friend to play with!

About: What sets me apart is that caring for animals has always been a genuine part of my life, not just a job. I currently have two cats of my own who I’ve raised and care for every day, and I also have experience caring for three dogs—feeding them, playing with them, taking them on walks, and giving them plenty of attention and love. My first dog, Dexter, is where my love for caring for animals really began. I walked him every day, fed him every night, bathed him, played with him, and loved him enough for every star in the sky. ❤️ I know how important pets are to their families because mine mean the world to me. When someone trusts me with their pet, I want them to feel confident knowing their baby is being cared for with the same patience, attention, and love I give my own. I’m currently a student and attend classes on Mondays and Wednesdays, which leaves me with a very flexible schedule throughout the rest of the week. I’m especially available Thursdays through Sundays, and I can often accommodate different times or last-minute needs. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I’m always happy to work with you to find a time that fits both your schedule and your pet’s routine! I understand that trusting someone with your pet also means trusting them in your home, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I will always be respectful of your space, follow any instructions you leave for me, and make sure your home is left just as I found it. When caring for your cat, I’ll keep their environment safe, clean, and comfortable while sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine. I’m also happy to send photos and updates during each visit so you can have peace of mind knowing your cat and your home are being well cared for while you’re away. 🐱🤍

I'm a proud dog mom to 3 girls, a 12 year old lab mix, a 4 year old yellow lab and a 3 year old lab/gsp, so I'm very comfortable with large, strong, and high-energy dogs. I understand their need for structure, exercise, and mental stimulation —and I'm always happy to keep up! I also have plenty of experience with puppies and know how important it is to be patient, consistent, and attentive to their unique personalities. My experience doesn't stop with dogs and cats-l've also cared for a bearded dragon and am confident in caring for yours whether it is a turtle/tortoise, fish or bearded dragon. I can't wait to meet you and your pets! I have a flexible schedule on the weekends and plenty of availability to give your pet the time and attention they need.

I'll follow your routines closely to keep things consistent and stress-free, and your pet will get lots of love, playtime, and attention. I also make sure to keep you updated so you always feel connected while you are away. I work full time with weekends off, with my own adventures, I know how important it is to have someone to be able to check in on your pets. I want to be able to provide that for others. I will keep as close to their routine as possible. If I need to take them on a walk to potty or let them roam their own yard, I will do.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Grand Island

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Grand Island on Rover is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $28 per visit. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 2,767 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Grand Island. 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.

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 Grand Island 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!

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.

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 .

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Grand Island with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

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.

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.
