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’ve had and been around dogs all of my life, both big and small! I’m an active college student who loves dogs and prides myself on my responsibility. I’m currently a full-time student and have a part-time job, but have plenty of time before and after classes to hang out with your pup(s)! I am able to house-sit some week evenings and weekends. When caring for your pets in your home, I will ensure they are safe, comfortable, and having fun! I’ve known some crazy pups, so I have some tricks to keep them out of trouble.

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 pets since I was little and I will make sure yours feel loved and cared for:) I have had jobs like this before, and I can feed, walk, and clean up after your dogs! I’ve also worked at animal shelters for both cats and dogs, among many other animals. I’m new to Rover (I made the account in 2022 but didn’t have time to use it), so please be patient with me as I learn the system🫶🏼 I just moved back home for a while, so my schedule is pretty open as of now. I am busy Sunday mornings, but the rest of the week is very flexible. I can come to you and walk your dog, or you can come to me. I love animals very much and I would love to help! Your furry friend will not be able to stay in my home because our cats are moody:)

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: Hello! I am currently taking a gap year while applying for Law School and adore spending time with dogs! I have an older family dog at home & have 5 years of experience dog sitting for many different families (10+ sweet pups) during my previous studies. 
I enjoy giving your dogs all the love while you have to be away from them! I know how hard it is to leave a pet with a stranger because they really are part of the family, so please let me know what I could do to make you comfortable and know that they will be well cared for so you can enjoy being away! 
I have flexibility during the week around studying, but weekend boarding or evening walking also work great for my schedule! Feel free to let me know exactly what you’re looking for & I will try to make it work! Looking forward to hopefully meeting you & your pup in the future!! I’m currently studying & have a lot of control over my schedule, so I have plenty of flexibility to care for your pets & work around their needs! I love playing with pups if they need to get their energy out, including playing in the house depending on the dutch weather, or going for walks when the sun is out! But I am also happy to just snuggle with on the couch with your pet while I work on my laptop if they’re needing naps!

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 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.

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.

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 bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Kearney after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

walkers 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 walker.
