“Bree was amazing. I knew she was going to be good when my dog took to her right away and he doesn’t go up to just anyone. She was very communicative and sent pictures. Our dogs truly enjoyed her. I would definitely hire her again.”

About: I have been taking care of pets since I was about 8 years old. I have always had at least 2 dogs and a cat in the house growing up. Since I joined the military I also helped my friends and coworkers with their pets when they were away. I have a flexible schedule, I work full-time but can work from home most days. I am able to care for pets easily throughout the day. I currently have one dog, bernedoodle, he is the most spoiled pup there is. We have gone through many obedience classes together so I have knowledge and experience on how to properly walk and care for a dog. I love any opportunity I have to meet and care for any new animals. I love going on walks and playing with dogs and cats to keep them entertained! I am currently working at a flexible job, so I can be readily available to attend to your pet's needs and look after your fur baby for the majority of the day! I treat your home and your dog like I would my own! I make sure they have plenty of water, have been fed, time to potty, and plenty of play time as well! They won't be bored with me!

About: I have had dogs since I was 11 in addition to all sorts of other animals, such as bunnies, rats, chinchillas, and cats. I love love love dogs. My dog, Vinny, is my baby. The dog park is my happy place! I love to go there with Vinny. Vinny and I also love to go on long walks. I can provide your dog with lots of love, long walks, trips to the dog park, and lots of playtime with Vinny. I will make sure to send you daily pictures because I know that I love to get pictures of my baby when someone is watching him. Vinny and I look forward to meeting you and having lots of playtime! I also have experience giving medicine to dogs.
About: I have lived with pets (dogs, cats, fish, reptiles) since I was born! Although I do have outside experience in pet sitting, I would love to gain more! I have grown up with big dogs and feisty cats, and feel completely comfortable with all sizes! I truly have a love and passion for animals, and thought this could be a great way to dive even further into it! I am currently doing Rover full-time as I am a college student at UNK! I do not go in many trips or leave town often, so I should hopefully be available any day I am needed! I am committed to providing fast responses and answering any questions and concerns one may have about my availability on certain days! I have grown up with pets my whole life, and therefore have a very good understanding of not only their needs but their wants as well! I love to spoil them in any way I can! I am happy to provide picture and text updates throughout the day, along with any other requests you may have! I am aware that some pets need extra attention, while others are more shy and would prefer their own space, and I am committed to respecting those boundaries and ensuring your pets stay as comfortable as possible while you are away. :)
About: I’ve cared for a wide range of animals—from fish to horses—and love them all! I’ve been pet sitting for family and friends for the past few years and have experience with training puppies, giving medications to senior pets, and keeping animals happy and safe. As a fellow fur mom, I treat all my clients’ pets like family so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays, I’m here to care for animals of all shapes and sizes like they’re my own. I’m a self-employed pet photographer, so I have a flexible schedule and can easily move things around to accommodate pet care needs. Whether it's a midday walk, an evening drop-in, or weekend care, I can usually make it work and love having animals as part of my daily routine! When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I always respect the space, follow instructions closely, and make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I’m also more than happy to meet your pet a few times before your trip so they can get used to me and feel totally at ease. Their well-being is my top priority, and I aim to build trust with both pets and their people!
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, personalities, and needs. Growing up, I helped care for my senior dog who was blind and diabetic, giving me experience administering insulin injections, providing daily support, and helping dogs navigate their environment safely and comfortably. I am comfortable giving medications, including pills and other oral medications, and have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs. I grew up with Australian Heelers and raised several of them from puppyhood, giving me experience with puppy care, crate training, and managing high-energy breeds. I also enjoy taking active dogs on walks, runs, and hikes to help them stay physically and mentally stimulated. In addition to my personal experience, I have volunteered at local animal shelters and have worked with livestock, including pigs and horses. These experiences have taught me patience, responsibility, and how to confidently care for animals with different temperaments and needs. Whether your pet needs a walking buddy, extra playtime, medication administration, or gentle care during their senior years, I will treat them like family and provide dependable, compassionate care while you're away. I am currently a graduate student at UNMC in Kearney, Nebraska, with a flexible schedule thanks to my online coursework. This allows me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet care throughout the day, including many weekdays and weekends. I grew up surrounded by animals, including dogs, cats, and even pigs, and I have three energetic and lovable Australian Heelers back home in Arizona. Caring for animals has always been a part of my life, and pet sitting gives me a great opportunity to stay connected to animals while I'm away from my own. As a former Division I softball player at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, I love being active and spending time outdoors. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, hikes, or simply some extra attention during the day, I'm happy to provide the exercise, companionship, and care they need. With my flexible schedule and lifelong experience with animals, I am committed to providing dependable, attentive care for every pet I meet. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has different needs, so I take the time to learn their schedule, personality, and any special care instructions before providing care. In a client's home, I strive to maintain your pet's normal routine as closely as possible by following feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and any household rules. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship while ensuring your pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment. I have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, and pets with medical needs, including administering medications and insulin injections. I am also experienced with crate training and understand the importance of creating a safe and positive environment for pets when their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
About: Imagine having a stranger enter your house, then grab and kiss your face! Unfortunately, well meaning pet lovers assume your dog or cat wants to be pet, cuddled, and squished, all while unintentionally ignoring polite yet clear cut off signals from your pet that say "no thank you." Hanging out with a sitter for the day should be as low stress and fun for your pet as possible. That's where I come in. With over 12 years of animal care experience, including 3 years of working with and training behaviorally sensitive, fearful, and easily over-stimulated dogs, I understand the importance of moving at your pet's pace. I can quickly read and interpret canine body language to know if your dog is saying "more please" or "please give me some space." My experience includes 2 years working in specialized boarding for fearful, reactive, and sensitive dogs, 7 months of shelter canine behavioral modification, and a solid foundation in positive reinforcement dog training. When with me, your pet will enjoy enrichment through fun puzzles and/or basic training games. I hold my Fear Free Certified Professional Trainer certification and my IAABC-ADT accreditation (International Association of Animal Behavior Consulting - Accredited Dog Trainer). Both FearFree Pets and IAABC hold their members to the highest animal treatment standards (viewable on their websites) so you can rest assured your pet is in safe and caring hands. I work part time most week days and weekends. My pet care available hours for in-home services are 8AM to 3PM on Mondays and Fridays. My approach to animals is at their pace. I don't force them into anything they are uncomfortable with or fearful of, and I pair my presence with lots of delicious treats.
About: I love animals! I’ve always enjoyed pet sitting for friends and family. I have a very flexible schedule so I decided why not do more! I don’t work a normal 9 to 5 job so I am available almost anytime to come love on and care for your fur babies! I have pets at home so I wouldn’t be able to bring yours here at this time. But I would love to come to your home to play ,brush ,feed /water and clean up after them. I have experience with giving meds and enjoy walking dogs too!
About: I've had a passion for dogs since childhood, and I turned that passion into expertise by working at the Kearney area animal shelter for three years. This experience deepened my knowledge of various breeds while I pursued my goal of becoming a dog obedience instructor. I hold two certifications in dog training—one from Penn Foster and another from Petsmart, where I am proud to serve as a trainer. I ensure that your dog receives not only physical exercise but also essential mental stimulation, making our walks both effective and enjoyable. I currently work full time at cottonwood vet clinic as a trainer/kennel assistant, but caring for dogs is truly my passion and always my top priority. While my schedule mostly has me working weekday mornings from 8-6 it allows me the precious time on the weekend , from Saturday to Monday 8-6, to walk dogs and provide training . I'm dedicated to ensuring that every dog I care for feels loved and valued. I have two friendly dogs, which means I’ll be actively socializing with them while ensuring they get the ample exercise they need to stay happy and healthy.
About: I've had pets all my life. I've watched over animals for family members and friends, and worked as a dogsitter for 2 years. I've taken care of dogs, cats, and everything inbetween. I am avaliable nearly every day and will be more than happy to take care of your furry family member. The only exceptions are on holidays. There is nothing I love more than playing or cuddling with animals. I have plenty of experience calming my own and other peoples' pets during stressful situations, such as during fireworks. Just let me know what your pet likes and I am willing to provide. I am currently working part-time, so I can care for your pets anytime outside of my normal work hours. I only work for about 3 hours per day so that leaves plenty of time for them. My number one priority is making sure that your pets will feel safe and happy. I am always willing to keep their favorite items at the ready for whenever they may need it.
About: I have lived with animals my entire life; I have experience from one family dog to five dogs, a cat, chickens, pigs, ducks, and a beard dragon (all at the same time)! I have always LOVED animals, and I have dog-sat several times for my neighbor. I work full time, however my job is about two minutes away from my home and I come home for lunch daily. Weekends are almost always free, so they are typically better for me, however if you are okay with you pet being alone for a few hours while I am working, weekdays will work! I do not have a fenced in yard, but I do have a large yard. I have one cat that goes inside and outside. There are not many animals in the neighborhood, and I’ve never had a problem with the ones that are here.
About: I have had dogs in my life ever since the age of 4. I have been counted on to care for all breeds and ages of dogs as well as cats.

I have availability to check in on your furry friends in the afternoons. I care for animals the same as I would people. Putting your animal and it’s needs first. This means that your pets safety and comfort is my number one priority.

I am currently in-between jobs right now so I am pretty open to be available whenever needed to take care of your pets and take them on walks and cuddles. I ensure your pet gets the attention and love they need to feel comfortable while their parents are away. I enjoy going on walks and giving lots of snuggles.

About: I've been surrounded by pets my entire life. I grew up with two cats, one of which I've had since I was 4 years old. I volunteered throughout middle school at the humane society, I even job shadowed there during my high school years. I've taken care of my family members' pets and my friends' pets. I currently have 2 of my own kitties and I live in a house with 3 cats including mine. I go on daily walks so adding a dog to the equation would be easy. I don’t know very many people from kearney which makes it easier for me to find work and find things to keep myself busy without worrying about friends I always make sure my cats have clean water in their fountain and i feed my babies at least 2-3x a day. I also spend time with them, cuddling them and giving them belly rubs, and even letting myself be uncomfortable if they are sleeping on me. I take my dog at my dads out walking every now and then. I make sure my roommates cat has water and food and i help her give her cat his medication if they have an infection or had to get some sort of surgery done.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Kearney
Becca did so great! I have 2 dogs and one is a shelter dog that is excitable and can get a little restless-but she handled both of them so sweetly and made sure they were both walked and had a treat afterward. Becca was always on time, and even moved things around last minute for me when I needed-I would recommend Becca to everyone-especially since I know my dogs need someone who’s patient and very kind and both my dogs took to Becca right away, I never worried when they were with her.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Kearney. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Kearney.

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.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
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 walker.
