About: Hi! My name is Robert, and I’m a proud dad of two little ones and a dog dad to two pit bull mixes. I’ve been an animal lover my entire life, but dogs have always had a special place in my heart. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every dog with the same care, patience, and attention I give my own. Whether your pup needs a walk, a drop-in visit for feeding and playtime, or boarding (when it’s the right fit), I’m here to help. I have a very flexible schedule and am available on both weekdays and weekends to accommodate your needs. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member. Please feel free to reach out with any questions—I look forward to hearing from you! My schedule is flexible so I’ll have plenty of time to look after your animals or pups. Whether it’s a walk or drop in visit, they’ll be taken care of. I’ll treat your animals with the utmost care. I can follow all instructions if your pet has special needs. Whether your pet is big or small.
“Rebekka was amazing with my cat and dog. I could just tell by the photos she sent us how much they loved having her company. She went above and beyond with everything, especially communication. You can trust her with your fur babies!”
About: There hasn’t been a time in my life when I didn’t have an animal by my side. I have extensive, hands-on experience owning, fostering, sitting, and walking all kinds of animals. I truly understand that every pet has a unique personality and set of needs, and I pride myself on stepping in to provide seamless, consistent care—picking up exactly where you left off. Whether your pet needs high-energy play, strict medical/routine management, or just gentle, attentive companionship, I am here to provide peace of mind. Whatever you and your animals need, I'm your girl! I work full-time providing home care for adults with mental health and developmental disabilities. Because my shifts can be non-traditional, clear communication is my absolute priority to ensure your pet's schedule is perfectly maintained. I keep my Rover calendar strictly updated with my work hours so you always know my exact availability before booking. If an 8-hour shift overlaps with your needed care times, we will discuss a seamless game plan beforehand to ensure your pet is fully looked after. Outside of my shift hours, I put focus on pet care. My background makes me highly routine-oriented, meaning I am incredibly reliable when it comes to early morning check-ins, evening walks, or overnight sitting blocks. I believe every pet deserves the perfect fit. If my work schedule ever conflicts with what your pet needs, I will be completely transparent upfront so you can find the best match for them. If we are a match, you can count on absolute reliability, consistent updates, and a dedicated sitter who treats your schedule—and your pet—with total respect! Whether I am caring for your pet in the comfort of your own home or hosting them with me, safety and open communication are my absolute top priorities. I treat your home and your pets with the utmost respect, ensuring a secure, low-stress environment. I strictly follow your household rules, feeding schedules, and medication timelines. Keeping their environment consistent prevents anxiety while you are away.
About: I have 3 years of experience caring for pets, including rescues and dogs who are a little more timid than most. I love getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe and loved. I can handle all the basics — feeding, walking, playtime, bathroom breaks, and cuddles! I’m patient, reliable, and treat every animal like they’re my own. I currently work part-time and I am home most of the time. It is very easy to fit any scheduled walk, drop-in, or even overnight stays in my schedule. Your animal is my top priority! I care for every pet as if they were my own and always make their comfort and safety my top priorities. I take time to understand each pet’s unique personality, preferences, and needs before caring for them. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I maintain a calm, loving environment where pets feel relaxed and secure.
“Another great experience with Jess. It is clear that my dog really enjoys seeing her and spending time with her! I trust that my dog is in great hands anytime Jess comes over. Also appreciate all the affection my girlie gets. Thank you Jess!”
“Jacob is very reliable and made sure my cats were getting the care they needed while I was away. This was my third time booking him and I will always look for him first next time I’m going away. He communicates well and shows care for my cats. One of my cats is very shy when there’s people around but he likes him.”
About: I have taken care of dogs of every kind for friends and family for a long time. I love meeting new dogs and experiencing their unique personalities. I offer a wide range of services from drop-in visits, walks, to overnight care. I lead an active lifestyle and love to be outside any chance I get! I have experience crating your dog if needed. I always put their leash or harness on before I open the door. Your doggies safety is my number one priority! Message me for any questions you might have. I’m currently a part time student for a medical assistant program. I have a very flexible schedule. I love taking care of people and animals. 💗 I will take amazing care of fur baby.

About: I’ve been a dog owner my entire life and have cared for dogs through pet sitting and dog walking since college. I also have a German Shepherd who I’ve had for 8 years, so I’m very comfortable with medium and large dogs. I enjoy long walks, feeding, cleanup, and giving dogs plenty of exercise and attention. I always prioritize safety and treat every dog in my care like my own. I am comfortable with cats. I will walk your dog, rain or shine, weather permitting as safety is always first. I’m available Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 9 AM–1 PM for weekday walks. I’m looking to build a small group of recurring clients, so I can provide consistent care and get to know each dog and their routine. I’m flexible within those hours for 30–60 minute walks and can accommodate occasional potty breaks or shorter visits as well. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and give them plenty of care and attention. Depending on their needs, visits can include a walk, feeding, fresh water, a potty break, and some playtime. I’ll always make sure they’re safe and comfortable before I leave and send you an update afterward.
“Laura did a great job taking care of the kids when we were gone on a week long trip. She came at the agreed times and was very consistent performing the duties we had asked for. Most importantly she provided great communication and was prompt with responses. We will be using her again.”
“Alex was incredibly patient and communicative with the cats and any issues she had. I appreciated everything she did while I was away on vacation and felt very comfortable leaving them in her hands.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life—from growing up with family pets to caring for my own as an adult—giving me years of hands-on experience and a deep understanding of their needs, behavior, and personalities. I’m a true dog-person and absolutely love being around them—they bring so much joy and companionship to everyday life. Sadly, I’ve had two of my own dogs pass away after living long, happy lives, but through that, I’ve gained valuable experience in providing the special care and attention older dogs often need. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely love. 💞 First time using Rover? Use this link before you book for $20.00 off: https://www.rover.com/sit/rubyb72826 Furthermore, I’m a Registered Nurse (who stays home full-time with my kids now)… however, I have experience administering medications to pets and will ensure your doggie gets any needed medicine while you’re away. I love caring for humans and pets alike, and would love to walk and/or board your sweet fur-babe while you’re away. As a stay-at-home mom with a lovable Shih Tzu of my own, caring for pets is a natural part of my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day and already spend lots of time walking, playing, and giving attention to my dog—so welcoming your furry friend into our routine comes naturally and with lots of love. I intentionally keep my bookings limited so each dog gets plenty of individual attention and feels like part of the family. At our home, every fur-babe is welcomed like a member of our family. Upon arrival, they’ll be given time to explore and settle in comfortably, at their own pace. I strive to create a warm, stress-free environment filled with cozy nooks, comfy beds, and plenty of playtime in our large back yard. The neighborhood also has a large park I can walk them to for some exercise and extra sunshine. I’ll ensure they have a familiar routine and are given lots of attention, from gentle belly rubs, to snuggles on the couch. I love sending photos and updates to keep you connected! You can rest assured knowing your pet is happy, safe, and surrounded by love while you’re away. Pets can sleep in an enclosed area with blankets and a bed or in a crate, if preferred.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old, helping family, friends, and neighbors with feeding, fresh water, playtime, walks, potty breaks, check-ins, and keeping them company. I’m comfortable helping with daily routines such as giving treats, cleaning up after pets, providing exercise, playing fetch, giving them attention and affection, and making sure they are comfortable and safe in their home. I understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, routine, and needs, and I take the time to learn what makes each pet feel comfortable and secure. I’m patient, responsible, attentive, and able to recognize when a dog may need space, extra attention, or reassurance. I’m currently a part-time college student and working part-time. I’m completing 8-hour training shifts through the Oct.16th, after which my work schedule will become more flexible. Because of my flexible schedule, I’m available to provide pet sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, and other pet-care services around my class and work commitments. I’m happy to communicate with pet parents in advance to discuss their pets’ routines, needs, and preferences so I can provide reliable, consistent, and loving care. I’m committed to treating every pet with patience, care, and the same attention I would want for my own. I have a safe and caring environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I take pet safety seriously and always follow their normal routines, feeding instructions, medication directions, and exercise needs. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and supervision while making sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for. I’m also respectful of clients’ homes and will treat their pets and belongings with the same care I would want for my own.
About: I’ve been a proud pet owner my entire adult life, with a special place in my heart for large breeds like pitbulls, malinois, bloodhounds, and bulldogs. Over the years, I’ve learned how to care for dogs with a wide range of personalities — from high-energy working dogs to laid-back couch companions. In 2019, I founded a foster-based nonprofit dog rescue focused primarily on bully breeds. Through that work, I cared for dogs of all ages — from tiny puppies to gentle seniors — many with behavioral or medical needs. I gained hands-on experience with training, medication administration, socialization, and rehabilitation, all while ensuring each dog felt safe, loved, and understood. In 2023, I transitioned the rescue to my amazing team so I could focus on providing more individualized, one-on-one care through pet sitting. I bring the same dedication, structure, and compassion to every pet I look after as if they were my own. Whether your dog needs calm companionship, structured walks, or just someone who understands their unique quirks, they’ll be in good hands with me. ❤️ I have a flexible job that allows me to work from home, which means I’m able to give plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m typically only away from home for a couple of hours at a time, so your pet will have lots of company, playtime, and supervision. Whether it’s a mid-day walk, weekend stay, or overnight care, I can easily adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. Consistency, comfort, and connection are always my priorities. Pets in my care are treated like family. I provide a calm, structured, and loving home environment where dogs can relax and feel secure. My home is pet-safe, clean, and set up for comfort, with plenty of room for lounging, play, and outdoor breaks. Because of my background running a dog rescue, I’m very experienced with different breeds, behaviors, and energy levels. I make sure each dog has the right balance of attention, activity, and rest, following their individual needs and routines. I’m home most of the day and maintain a consistent schedule, so pets are never left alone for long. You can trust that your dog will be safe, supervised, and cared for as if they were my own.

Ever since I was a child my family has owned golden retrievers and I have loved the amount of loyalty you receive from our furry best friends. I've noticed that animals have been drawn to me at an early age and it would be my pleasure to take such great care of your best friend while your at work, vacation, etc. worried free. I work from home and able to relax with your pup. On the weekends I am pretty flexible. I’ll make sure they get plenty of water, potty breaks and plenty of attention. As mentioned I work from home and a fenced backyard. I can play in the backyard on my breaks. If your pup is a lap dock they are more than welcome to relax while I work, or just relax in my office with me.
About: Hi, I’m Sierra! Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve had dogs since I was a baby and started officially caring for animals when I was just 10. Since then, I’ve looked after all sorts of pets—dogs, cats, birds, and even bunnies! Right now, I have three wonderful dogs (two energetic huskies and a lovable golden retriever) and two cats (a playful ragdoll and a curious tabby). So, trust me when I say I understand how important it is to know your pets are being loved and well cared for when you’re not around. I know each animal is unique, and I love getting to know their personalities—whether it’s a quick walk to get them moving, a drop-in visit for some playtime, or an overnight stay where they need extra attention. I work very part-time, which gives me the flexibility to be there for your pet when they need me. Plus, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals—they’re my happy place, and I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. Whether you have a playful puppy that needs to burn off some energy or a laid-back senior dog who just wants some company, I’ve got the experience to make sure they’re getting exactly what they need. I’m here to make your life easier and ensure your pets are well taken care of—like they’re part of my own family! :) I work part time so I can be almost full availability besides a few 4 hour shifts a week, besides that I can be with the animals full time! I will do whatever means necessary to ensure your animals safety! Whatever works with you will work with me. I’m very flexible and easy to work with !

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lincoln
Carla did a fantastic job cat-sitting Kiki! She was extremely thorough with feeding, fresh water, and cleaning the bowls and litter box. Best of all, Kiki loved her company and got plenty of attention and sweet ear scratches. Carla even helped out by bringing in our package and trash bin. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!
Thank you so much Nicole, you are the best! We always feel great about leaving Lovely in your care when we take a trip, and this time was no exception! Your write-ups and photos are so thoughtful, and you are so thorough, we can really tell she enjoys your visits! Thank you again!
Dash took excellent care of our cat when we were out of town. Juniper was fed twice a day on time and her litter was scooped. Dash even brought in a few packages that were delivered to our house while we were gone. We would highly recommend Dash for any pet sitting needs.
Kate was so amazing with my two kitties while I was away for the weekend. Sent me lots of updates and photos and super communicative with how they were doing! She gave me so much peace of mind while I was gone. She is also so sweet, professional and kind! 😊 Will absolutely be rebooking with her in the future when needed!
Marisa is so amazing! She is always prompt in her arrival and spends the whole time playing with my puppy. She changes potty pads and makes sure everything is just right for my dog. She always follows any instructions I leave, giving me such peace of mind when I cannot be home. She even brings in packages if they happen to show up while I’m away. My puppy loves her. 😍 I highly recommend her.
Stephanie was such a great sitter for our cat, Jojo. We were out of town for almost two weeks, and Stephanie made us feel at ease when she checked in daily with Jojo. Our cat is not the most social or easy cat to deal and Stephanie handled it like a pro. Stephanie was quick to respond and went the extra mile on many occasions. We highly recommend her for watching your pets.

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