“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'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 been dog sitting, dog walking, and helping out for over 6 years! From walks around the block to walks of 4 miles, I love it all. I’ve done stays for families on vacations, drop ins, and everything in between. I have a very flexible schedule and am hoping to help people out! I currently work on a flexible schedule, willing to move around to help out. I am open most times of the day both week days and weekends. I love dog walking, and am able to send updates regularly. I have a high energy dog at home and take care of him often and have great experience.
“Jamie is a fun, courteous and reliable dog walker. My dog is reactive at best and Jamie manages his temperament. She really helps me improve my dog's behaviors. I highly recommend Jamie.”
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 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 grew up on a farm in rural Nebraska. I helped take care of everything from cats up to horses/cattle and all in-between. In our home we have June a mix of Basenji/German shepherd, she is 5 years old. Then we have Hank he is a dash hound mix at 4 years old and last but not least we have Florence a shorthaired calico that's almost 2 yrs old. I work from home so that being said I'm home ALL DAY! Your pet(s) would have constant run of the house and huge privacy fenced in back yard. I also love to do interactive toys/mats to keep the brain working hard through the day. We go on daily multi walks! At most your pet would be kenneled for up to two hours in case of grocery/picking up kids from events etc. I have two outgoing friendly dogs that love having play dates! We have a big fenced in back yard for everyone to play and run around in! I can kennel my dogs while your pet has eat time if need be for focus etc. All animals are allowed on all furniture and beds in our home as well.
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: 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 have watched elderly dogs, puppies, and up to 4 dogs at a time. My sister was a vet tech, and taught me animal behavior! I am currently working part-time, and would love to take care of your fur babies! Pets are family, and I will treat them with care! Have hosted 2 dogs at my house over the past 9 years, enjoy their company. I love animals, and will cater to their unique needs.
“Gwen continues to be amazing with my dog when I work long days and he needs to be walked. We had an urgent matter where he was not feeling well and she was very prompt in both noticing something was off and communicating that with me. Rupert and I appreciate her immensely!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds for over 7 years. Friends, family, and neighbors rely on me to walk, feed, and give their pets plenty of love and attention. I’m comfortable with playful puppies, calm companions, and senior dogs needing gentle care. Your furry family member will always be safe, happy, and well cared for with me. I’m available for pet care after 10am, seven days a week. With advance notice, I can start earlier if needed. Overnight stays are also an option for families who prefer round-the-clock care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, caring environment where they’ll feel secure, loved, and well cared for whether I’m in your home or mine.

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.
