About: Hello fellow animal lovers! There's nothing quite like the unconditional love and joy they bring into our lives, and getting to care for them is something I treasure. With over 10 years of hands-on experience in extended overnight pet care, I bring a level of dedication and reliability that goes beyond the basics. My background in pediatrics and childcare has given me transferable skills in patience, attentiveness, and routine-building, all of which translate seamlessly into providing exceptional care for your pets. I am comfortable with animals of all sizes and temperaments, and I have experience handling complex medical needs including administering medication, applying topical treatments, and accommodating specialized dietary requirements. Whether you have a curious puppy, a playful kitten, or a senior pet with unique needs, I approach every animal with patience and genuine love. When I house-sit, I treat your home with the same respect I'd want for my own. I'll handle day-to-day household tasks such as collecting mail and packages, taking out the trash, and keeping things tidy so you return to a clean, welcoming home, and happy, well cared for pets. I welcome last-minute and short-notice bookings, as I understand life doesn't always go as planned, and I'm happy to step in whenever you need me. I follow your instructions closely and will always go above and beyond to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and right at home. At the end of the day, I'm not just a sitter, I'm someone who will love your pets like my own, and that's a promise. While I work a standard 8-4 weekday schedule, my schedule is designed to give your pet consistent attention throughout the day. During the week, I'm available for walks and check-ins in the early morning before work, over my lunch break, and in the evenings. For overnight stays, I'm fully available on weekdays as well — just keep in mind I'll be away from 8–4, with a check-in over lunch. Weekends are completely open, giving me full flexibility for longer visits, overnights, or anything else your pet needs. Whether I'm house-sitting, walking your dog, or stopping in for a check-in, your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priority. I treat every client's home with the utmost respect. I'm there to care for your pet and maintain your space, not disrupt it. During house-sitting stays, I follow your established routines as closely as possible to keep your pet feeling secure and at ease in their own environment. I'll ensure doors, gates, and any containment areas are secure at all times, and I always keep emergency contact information and your vet's details on hand should anything come up. For dog walks, I keep dogs leashed and under close supervision at all times, paying attention to their comfort level and energy throughout the walk. I never push a dog beyond what they're comfortable with and always make sure they're safely returned home before I leave. For in-home check-ins, I make sure your pet has fresh water, food per your instructions, and plenty of attention before I go. I'll always leave your home exactly as I found it and provide updates so you have peace of mind while you're away. I do not offer boarding in my own home, so your pet gets the benefit of staying in the comfort of their own familiar environment — which is often the least stressful option for them.

About: I genuinely love caring for animals and making sure they feel safe and loved. I have a chocolate lab puppy, so I’m very experienced with energetic dogs and training, and I also have another dog with separation anxiety, which has helped me learn how to comfort pets who may feel nervous or miss their owners. I enjoy helping puppies learn and grow, and I also have a big heart for animals in need—if I ever see a stray, I make it a priority to make sure they’re safe and help them find a home or get help. That same level of care goes into every pet I watch. Pet care fits easily into my routine. I currently work part-time and am not scheduled often, so I have a very flexible schedule and am available most days of the week. I’m able to let your dog out during breaks, as well as before and after work. I’m also willing to get up early or stay late to make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need. keep pets on their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. In your home, I follow all instructions and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and care. In my home, I provide a safe and calm environment with my friendly 7-year-old dog. I can crate your dog if needed and am happy to let them sleep with me if that’s what they’re used to. My chocolate lab puppy stays with another family, so that won’t be a concern.

About: I’ve been Pet Sitting officially for seven years, I’ve owned cats and dogs my whole life, I love animals I even major in it for college. During college, I started to take on more clients during the summer and I would manage 20+ clients during a summer. I have experience in taking care of small animals like aquariums and fish, two large animals like horses and goats. I have experience managing medications, special needs, multiple pets, special diets, etc. whatever you throw my way I will be up for :) I do work as a manager at a golf course, But my schedule varies and I have large gaps in my day where I will be able to take care of your pet. I am not opposed to getting up early to make sure I get a visit in before a shift, or coming there immediately after work to spend some time with your Pet. I always wanna make sure I spend as much time with a pet as possible and make sure they’re getting their needs all met. I am more than willing to take care of pets at their home, that is their space. I will always make sure I visit multiple times in a day, or if you are up for it, stay overnight with pets. I always make sure all the doors are secure before I leave, everything is clean and put in the place, I always check to make sure there’s no accidents or issues with the pets and their area depending if they kennel or not. I don’t like to leave unless pets have eaten and have had plenty of time to go outside, take a walk, play.

About: Hi! I'm Adam! I am a professional dog trainer with over 5 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities. After being the General Manager of a dog training facility, I developed a passion for helping dogs feel safe, confident, and loved. Whether it's a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay, I'll provide dependable care, plenty of exercise, and lots of updates so you can relax knowing your pup is in great hands! I have a flexible work schedule, which allows me to provide dependable care throughout the day and accommodate a variety of pet care needs. Whether it's early morning walks, drop-in visits, or evening check-ins, I'm able to adjust my schedule to meet your pet's routine. I believe consistency is important, so I do my best to keep pets on their normal schedule to help them feel comfortable and secure while you're away. I believe every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences before providing care. In a client's home, I aim to keep your pet's routine as normal as possible by following feeding schedules, providing fresh water, going on walks or playtime, cleaning up after them, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I'll also send regular photo and text updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. If I'm caring for a pet in my own home, I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where they can relax and feel at home. I'll make sure they receive plenty of exercise, enrichment, potty breaks, and one-on-one attention while maintaining any routines or instructions you've provided. My goal is for every pet to feel happy, secure, and well cared for from the moment they arrive until it's time to go home.

About: I’m a reliable, caring animal lover who treats every pet like family. I understand that pets are more than animals—they’re companions, and they deserve patience, attention, and lots of love while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or cuddles, I make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs, and I’m committed to giving owners peace of mind with dependable, loving care. Your furry family member will be in good hands with me! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I’m organized, dependable, and able to make time for feeding, walks, playtime, check-ins, and giving pets the attention they need. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets doesn’t feel like a task—it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I can adjust my schedule to meet a pet’s routine and make sure they receive consistent, loving care while their owners are away. I prefer caring for pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable and can stay in their normal routine. I make sure they have fresh food and water, regular potty breaks or walks, playtime, affection, and any specific care they need, such as medication or following feeding schedules. I also keep the home tidy, provide updates to owners for peace of mind, and make it my priority to give pets loving, attentive care in a familiar environment where they feel safe and stress-free.

My husband & I have used Rover in the past (taking our 3 dogs to the sitter for overnights), but it’s approaching 3, or so years now since doing so. We have been fortunate having family members watch our 3 Brittany’s in our home, finding they do much better in their own environment & it also eases my mind. While having a personal acquaintance confirmed 2 months in advance to be lined up for an overnight with them, 3 days before it blew up in our face. We were left scrambling, as our family was unavailable. So, I to Rover, searching for someone who would not only care for 3 dogs, but also commute 20-25 minutes, outside of the Lincoln city limits. Daryn even drove to our home, 2 days before to meet our trio/us & see where she’d be staying! She is such a friendly & sweet, young lady, not to mention, was wonderful with our dogs… they ALL loved her!! She was great about sending me photos, too! We will definitely rebook with Daryn and I will make sure to tell others about her! Thank you so much again, Daryn!

Macy was responsive in the interview process, engaged in a zoom and an in-person meeting prior to dog-sitting. She sent several photos of our dogs during her 17-day stay. When we returned, our plants were alive and the house was in good order, and most importantly, the dogs were healthy.

About: I have experience with many different breeds, including reactive dogs and aggressive breeds. I have patience and understanding for every dog and their unique routines and behaviors. I have been pet sitting for friends and family since I was able to drive and I will provide an informed and easy going experience for your dog sitting needs as well. I’m currently working full time Monday through Thursday and I am available to pet sit extended time periods as well as short. Aside from having my weekends free to care for your fur baby I am also available to provide morning, noon, and evening walks and playtime sessions. Rest assured that when you’re gone your fur baby is receiving my full attention. I live in an apartment that is close to a walking and bike bath. My personal preference is taking the 10 minute drive to Holmes Lake and going for walks around that area.

FAQs for House Sitting - Martell

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 248 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Martell. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Martell walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Martell maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Martell choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 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 .

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Martell. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
