“Gabi watched Archer our cat for a month. She did a wonderful job. Very loving and caring. Played and even taught Archer some tricks. Highly recommend Gabi.”

About: I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, from chihuahuas to great danes. As an animal lover, I enjoy making connections with every dog I meet. I’m very reliable and would love the opportunity to walk your dog! I’m currently working part-time at a retail job, where I work 1-2 times a week. Monday nights I help coach my high school’s wrestling program. Otherwise, I have WIDE availablity for any time or day of the week. I’m happy to hear your preferences and any special requests you may have. Whether there’s a specific route you’d like your dog to walk or particular care instructions to follow, just let me know your expectations. I’ll do my best to ensure a great experience and that all requests are carried out with care and attention.

“This was my very first time using anything like Rover to help take care of my dog partner. Olivia Maximilianus lived up to, and beyond, any expectations I ever had; performing with brilliant helpfulness. Providing professional service above any idea of which that I had going into the situation of needing help feeding my four-legged relative, while I traveled. With the sonic intuition of a bat soaring through the night, she knew what I needed before I could even think of it. With the professional and timely voice of mourning dove, she was prompt and unbelievably reliable. With the cool and calm discipline of a crow crossing a wire over a field of peace lilies, bluegrasses, and dandelions, she left my home and space in a cleaner and more organised way than I had left it. And with the resilience and dedication of V-formed geese, my four-legged family was exercised and engaged in such a good way. Evidenced in her calm and content energy in my return home. Reminding me of the words from my favourite poet, Mary Oliver, in the last verse of her poem titled, October: “One morning the fox came down the hill, glittering and confident, and didn’t see me- and I thought: so this is the world. I’m not in it. It is beautiful.””

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my strong attention to detail, genuine love for animals, and experience with pets of all ages and needs. I have hands-on experience training puppies with basic commands and crate training, as well as providing gentle, attentive care for senior pets who may need medication, extra patience, or mobility support. I’m also highly reliable and communicative I always keep pet parents updated with messages and photos, so they feel connected and reassured while they're away. My calm, friendly approach helps pets feel safe and at ease, whether it’s their first time with a sitter or they need special care. I treat every animal like they’re my own, and that personal connection makes all the difference. Pet care fits into my daily routine as a consistent and rewarding responsibility. Every morning starts with feeding my dog and taking him for a quick walk to get some energy out before the day begins. In the evenings, I usually spend about 30 minutes either going on a longer walk or playing fetch at the park. On weekends, I make time for grooming like brushing his fur or giving him a bath if needed and sometimes schedule vet checkups or pick up new toys or treats. It’s a routine that keeps me grounded, and it’s always nice to end the day with a loyal companion by my side. When caring for pets in either my home or a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and consistent environment. For dogs, I ensure they have regular feeding times, fresh water, daily walks, and playtime to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. I also follow any specific instructions the client provides, such as administering medications or adhering to training routines. If I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s regular schedule to reduce stress from their owner's absence. I clean up after the pet, monitor behavior for signs of illness or anxiety, and send updates (with photos) to the owner for peace of mind. Whether it’s overnight care, walking, or short visits, my goal is to make each pet feel safe and loved while their owner is away.

“Amanda did a great job entertaining our elderly dog while we were out of town. The pictures we received at every visit were awesome to show our kids when they asked about her.”

“Kim was quick to respond to our inquiry and was fantastic! Very communicative with us and attentive to our senior pup. We will be rebooking for sure!”

About: I can handle any kind of dog, from shy to super hyper! I’ve dog sat for family and friends over the years and I have experience in giving dogs medicine and first aid! I am currently unemployed and off to college at UNO this fall! I have a ton of free time and am willing to take care of any kind of pet 24/7! I have experience giving cats and dogs medicine orally as well as administering first aid to dogs! I have my own car that I can take to visit your pet, and in emergencies I am a safe driver that can safely bring your pet to the nearest vet. I have grown up around animals and have a deep love and respect for every species!

About: I have taken care of dogs most of life, six dogs in total. Most recently I had a German Shepherd, Australian Cattle dog mix name Waylan. I started with Rover over 4 years ago and have sat for over 50 clients and 82 pets. To name a few I have taken care of Pit Terriers, Bull Terriers, Australian Cattle Dogs, Great Dane, Bearded Collies, Bearded Dragon, Mice, Hedgehog, and many cats. All from different families and all in-home stays. I consider myself an observant and knowledgeable animal lover. When it comes to special skills, I have experience training and administering medicine. My work schedule is M-F, 8:30 to 5pm in-office. Outside of those hours, I spend with your pets. Despite working full-time in-office, the happiness and safety of your pets is still my number one concern. I am looking forward to the care and attention I can give your pets in their home environment. I have experience taking care of dogs on farms, in apartments, and town homes.

About: I was in 4-h for around 7-10 years and showed horses, cattle, rabbits, cats and dogs. I lived on a farm so I am good with all sized pets. I have a deep passion for animals and personally have 2 dogs a chocolate lab and siberian husky, and 2 cats a orange tabby and grey maine coon. I am a full-time college student so my schedule is pretty open all week and the weekends besides church Sunday mornings and I work Saturday nights 5-11. I am very responsible and have lots of experience pet-sitting. I strive to do my best job for all my cliets while also being respectful of their home.

About: Dogs and cats are my speciality. I have been pet sitting for quite some time. My friends, people from church, neighbors, and my family members. I am such an animal person! I will play with your furry friends while you are away seeing the world. I will make sure they have their basic needs and as well as the comfort of home. I know that their environment as well as who is taking care of them is a game changer for your furry friend! I work at a school. School is almost out. So I will be available after June 5th. I have lots of flexibility with my schedule during my summer months. During the school year, I am at school most of the day. I would be available during the evening hours after 5pm. I prefer fenced in yards. I love when pet parents have a wide range of dog toys provided to play outdoors as well as indoors.

About: Loving dog and human mom who has taken care of dogs, birds, cats, and Guinea pigs since age 10. Wanting to open our home to your pets when you have a weekend away. Will provide love and treats 🙃 Currently available for boarding Friday-Sundays, and holiday weekends. Available for other random days upon request. Our goal is to provide 24/7 care when you are away :) We will give your pet daily attention and love while sticking to their personal schedule. Daily walks with our own pup will be provided. We do not have a fenced in yard, but we have a huge open lot to run around in as well as all the walks and cuddles they could want :)

“We’ve used Maddie a number of times since getting our lab puppy in the winter. She’s always been reliable and good with him - from when he was a little monster to a big one! I would definitely recommend her!”

“Liz was great!! My fur kids just loved her. She even took time to come over before the scheduled date to meet my kids and learn their routine. She was so good with them and sent the best pictures!!”

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a farm surrounded by all kinds of animals, which taught me early on how to handle everything from bottle-feeding newborns to keeping senior pets comfortable. I’m completely comfortable sticking to strict schedules and making sure your pet takes their pills right on time. I’ve been pet-sitting since high school—including long-term overnight stays for weeks at a time—so I know exactly how to keep a home and your fur babies safe. Today, I share my home with my own dog and two cats. I genuinely love all animals and promise to treat yours like family! I have a full time job as well as caring for my own fur babies. I get off work anywhere from 1-4pm, it varies from day to day. I can only work afternoons to evenings. No weekends or holidays. I follow the instructions given and treat your pets as if they were my own. They get all the pets and play time they could ever wish for.

About: I have cared for pets since I was 10 years old, then my family got a dog when I was 15. We now have 2 dogs, both of which I helped train as puppies, including walking, sitting, and a multitude of different tricks. I am currently a full-time student at Marquette University, but I am available before, in between, or after classes every day. My schedule is flexible and I am committed to caring for your pet! I am able to fit in as many drop-ins as needed. I have experience with all different breeds and personalities of pets and would cater my care to your unique pet so that they are as comfortable as possible without their mom or dad there. I love spending time with animals, so you can trust that I won't be doing the bare minimum!

“Kendra was great! Very responsive and did exactly what was needed, even though it was a last-minute request from my side”

About: I love animals and now that I live in an apartment, I miss having a pet! There are plenty of dogs roaming around the building, and I say hi to every one of them. I would love to hang out with your cat or dog! I’m a 39 year old mom and preschool teacher, so caring for littles comes natural to me. I have plenty of experience both in pet sitting and in life! If this tells you anything, when I’m at a party, you can find me with the pets. Pick me to check on your fur babies! I am a stay at home parent with an in-home preschool. The preschool is open Tuesday-Friday mornings, and my kid has childcare Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, so those afternoons are free for me. Pets tend to love me and I’m patient with those animals that are shy. I am very excited to hang out with some cats and dogs in my free time!
