About: I have had pets for as long as I can remember. I have had my dog and cat for over 10+ years and they are living their golden years in comfort and full of love! My dog requires medication three times a day, so if you have a pup with high needs I'm happy to help! I've volunteered for animal shelters and rescues. In 2023, I fostered 5 dogs and they were all adopted! They all came with unique personalities, behaviors, and challenges. I was able to teach them new behaviors, minimize the bad behaviors, and give them the love they deserved. Monday through Friday, I work full time from home from 8AM-5PM Therefore, on those days I am available after 5PM; Weekends I'm available any time! Keeping your pet comfortable and at ease is what's most important to me! I'm happy to do what we need to do to accomplish that while they are in my care.
“Kaitlynn was absolutely amazing with Houdini! He has pretty severe separation anxiety and can't be kenneled because he'll hurt himself trying to get out, so I was understandably nervous about leaving him for the first time. Kaitlynn immediately put my mind at ease. I was also incredibly grateful that she was so accommodating and willing to watch Houdini on such short, last-minute notice. She truly saved the day by allowing me to attend my daughter's birthday party without having to worry about him. She was patient, kind, and treated Houdini like he was her own. She kept me updated throughout his stay with pictures and messages, which meant a lot and allowed me to actually enjoy the afternoon knowing he was in great hands. One of the biggest signs that he had such a great time was that she completely wore him out! Houdini came home happy, relaxed, and slept for hours afterward, which is no small accomplishment for such an energetic dog. It was obvious he received plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I truly appreciate everything Kaitlynn did for Houdini, and I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares about animals, goes above and beyond, and treats your pet like family, I highly recommend Kaitlynn!”
“Banna was wonderful in her communications from the start of our interaction very quick to reply and clearly communicate. When we travel around the country we have found great dog loving friends thru Rover and now count Banna as one of them. Arlo was well cared for, exercised and fed on his schedule at Banna's. Her yard is very securely fenced and full of grass that makes it fun for Arlo. We also received several pictures and updates on how he was doing during the day. If we lived nearby we would of course call Banna again.”
The median cost per day for doggy day care in Kearney is $25

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Kearney commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NE ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 .
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. Many sitters can respond to messages in under an hour.
To find the fastest available match, message multiple sitters with a recent "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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 sitter.
