About: I have experience taking care of pets, as I have owned a dog myself. I've worked in animal care most of my career, working for institutions such as The Buffalo Zoo, Hidden Valley Animal Adventure, Pet Supplies Plus, dog kennels, etc. I love being around animals, and intend to do so the rest of my life! I'm currently working as a personal trainer at Catalyst Fitness, so I am needed when clients have training sessions. However, this will never extend for more than a few hours (at most maybe 4-5) at a time. So even if I need to go to a training session(s), I can be right back to take care of the animals afterwards! I can constantly provide your pets with enrichment. Whether that be through walking, playing, or just general outside time. I love nature/the environment, so I love getting outdoors. So if that's what your pets enjoy I can absolutely provide! However, I realize animals have a wide spectrum of emotions and preferences, so I am very flexible to provide whatever is best for your pets!
“Kristen did a wonderful job taking care if my kitty Mia. She was dependable and always kept communication open and sent pictures. This was the second time I hired her. I had peace of mind knowing my fur baby was in good hands. Thank you Kristen !”

“Kendra was great with our two cats during a 10-day trip away. She went above and beyond with sending extra pictures and keeping the kitties' eating area and litter boxes maintained. Thanks so much!”


About: The past six years I have had the opportunity to watch many different kinds of animals, everything from a chinchilla to large dog breeds. I have even watched rescue dogs a few times. This has allow me to better understand dogs behaviors. I have school Monday through Friday six to three in the afternoon. This leaves me with afternoons, nights and weekends completely free to take care of pets. I would keep the pets safe by following rules and preferences set by the owner, such as using gates and leashes, making sure hazardous items are out of reach, keeping in communication with the owners, and getting to know the pet and there behaviors along with there routines.
About: I’m a nanny and frequently work with the families with pets as well. I have two dogs of my own and have experience providing training as well. I work part time and will be able to check in frequently or provide walks for your pets. I work in the mornings but have plenty of time in the afternoons and evenings I would prefer to pet sit in your home. I have one dog in my home and although he is friendly, he prefers to have his own space and plenty of attention from his humans. That said, I will stop by frequently to walk, play, and take care of your animals as they need.
“Ciara was super responsive and helpful when I needed a new cat sitter on really short notice! She wanted to know absolutely everything abt my cat's routine to make him as comfortable as possible while I was gone, and he loved her so much even though he's often pretty skittish around new people. I got lots of photos and detailed reports every day, she was really attentive to his behavior and making sure he was okay, and overall was just fantastic!”

“We have gotten Lauren’s service in long and short term. She is reliable and caring to our oreo cookie. Our dog loves her. I can tell she has been very nice to our dog. I recommend her.”

“Kelsey has been a great sitter..And I look forward to using Her services this Year..On time,and replies to text messages..I recommended Kelsey to a neighbor Great job ! Thankyou”
About: I have taken care of my sister dog for 7 months her name was chichi. I had lots of experience with taking her to walks, making sure she used the bathroom on her walks, also bathing her. I am very playful with dogs and make sure they eat and have a clean bowl of water. I work at my other job during the afternoon but I still am available to take care of your pups from 11am - 2:30 pm. I will always keep your pup in company. I love to watch over playful dogs and love to teach them new tricks. I’m a very kind and generous person and comfortable to be around with dogs.
“Would I book Haley again? I already have! Haley is fantastic, she went above and beyond my expectations! Haley took AMAZING care of our three senior dogs, who have special needs. One of my dogs needs to have his bladder expressed due to a spinal injury, Haley went out of her way to learn how to express his bladder and ensure his comfort. Haley gave the dogs ample outdoor time, shared photos and detailed report cards throughout the day which gave us peace of mind. You can tell when your dogs had their basic needs met vs. when they also had enrichment (play time, cuddles, etc.), my dogs clearly had enrichment with Haley taking care of them. The dogs were happy and content when we returned home, they hardly missed us! Cannot recommend Haley highly enough.”
About: I did not have any dogs growing up- my parents were allergic, but I have always loved dogs, and I knew I wanted one when I was able to live on my own. I have been around dogs my whole life, and I have cared for my friends dogs when they needed sitters. I am currently a dog dad to my four year old Australian Cattle dog, and if there's one thing I can tell you about him is that he has taught me everything I need to know to train, house, and communicate with dogs of all breeds. Your dog will be treated with the upmost respect while in my care and will enjoy their stay with me and Yoki. You pups will fit right into the routine of things. I currently own two dogs and I am able to accommodate them both time wise I treat all animals as if they are my own, giving them the same love, attention, and respect I would offer a pet of my own. I naturally gravitate toward animals, and they seem to be drawn to me as well. I believe in building trust through patience, gentle care, and understanding each animal’s unique needs and personality. Whether it's providing food, comfort, exercise, or companionship, I am committed to making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved.
About: I've been around animals my whole life and have an appreciation for the love that they bring to your home! I of course will do my very best to take care of them. As a pet owner myself I would expect nothing less for any care taker. I'm ok with big or small dogs as well as cats. Please let me know if your pet as any special needs or has any allergies. Knowing in advance makes my job easier and keeps your pet safe! Also let me know if your pet requires any other accomindations and I will do my best to make sure that they are met. I look forward to meeting your pet and having the opportunity to take care of them! I have a flexible schedule but would appreciate a heads up on any changes so we can plan ahead and make sure our furry friends are taken care of. I have a fully fenced in yard with two very friendly dogs myself. I do walks and lots of outside time to keep up with their high energy
“I’m so happy that I found Karen! She did a wonderful job taking care of my two cats. She sent so many photos and really made me feel comfortable leaving them in her care.”


About: Years of fostering dogs has given me hands-on experience with all kinds of breeds, ages, and temperaments. I know how to handle anxious pups, high-energy dogs, and everything in between. My goal is always to provide the same love and structure I’d want for my own pets—so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because it’s something I’ve been doing for years through fostering and pet sitting. I plan my days around walks, feedings, playtime, and any special needs—like medications or training. I love creating a consistent, calm schedule that keeps pets happy and stress-free. I always start by learning each pet’s routine, preferences, and needs. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and fun environment with regular walks, playtime, and lots of affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their schedule to the letter and make sure their space stays tidy, secure, and welcoming.

About: Hi my name is Oz! I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was a kid! I grew up with big dogs like German Shepard’s, Rottweiler’s, Huskey’s and so much more! I even took care of disable dogs such as blind ones. Honestly, big dogs are my favorite but I love all animals at the end of the day. I am currently on summer break, so I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate pet care throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays. I am reliable, punctual, and happy to work around each pet owner’s needs. I live in a gated apartment. My unit is a studio so there is not much room for pets unfortunately. However, there’s a bunch of nearby trials.
About: If you have decided to keep your pets at home, where they are most comfortable, hire a person who will shower them with love and keep them safe. I'm retired from banking and loving the simple life, enjoying what I truly love.... caring for pets. Besides caring for my own pets, home, and family. I am available all days and will do my best to meet your needs. My three precious furbabbies-a very funny cat-Miss Kitty and two Pomskys-Sheeba & Earl-are my pride and joy. My Pomskys are escape artists which makes me hyper-aware. I understand the importance of protecting them and ensuring their safety. I love all fur babies with all my heart and treat them like children. I love to walk my dogs along the Niagara Falls Gorge trail and ArtPark in Lewiston. I have a bike trailer and take my dog and cat for rides.
About: Mom and daughter team. Been a dog owner for over 25 years. Love all animals. Patient and kind. Available 7 days. Can do pet stops or walks whichever is preferred. I currently work from home and have plenty of time for pet stops or walk. Message me anytime. May also be available on short notice. I have a fenced yard and a dog to keep your dog company. I can also crate your dog if needed. Whatever you are comfortable with.
About: I offer reliable, compassionate dog care backed by a lifetime of hands-on experience. Having grown up around dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, I understand their needs, behaviors, and the importance of patience and trust. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or extended care, I treat every dog like family, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well-cared for while you’re away. My goal is simple: give you peace of mind and give your dog the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. I'm currently working part-time and am looking to fill the gaps in my schedule with some time well spent, loving and playing with some furry friends! I am also flexible for overnight stays if worked out with ample time in advance! I tailor my care to each pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free in their own environments. For walks, I make sure your dog gets safe, engaging exercise at their own pace, along with fresh water and plenty of attention before I leave. I am also willing to take your dog to a dog park for some interactive time with others, if this is a suitable/desirable option for you. For overnight stays, I maintain their normal schedule as closely as possible, feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide, while also keeping your home tidy and secure. Having grown up around dogs, I’m attentive to their behavior and needs, so you can feel confident they’re in capable, caring hands while you’re away!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Grand Island stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
