“Alyssa is fabulous! She was very patient and loving with our crazy pups, spent ample time playing with and loving them, getting to know them. Very communicative and took great care of the house as well. Will definitely book again.”
“Ashlee was wonderful. She took care of our Willow and also our home. I would trust her to take care of my dog anytime. She is responsible and very caring for our furry friend. Thank you Ashlee.”
“Marikita was absolutely wonderful to work with! She took excellent care of our two dogs and took extra care to keep them in their normal routines while we were away. We were kept in the loop with detailed updates every day and plenty of pictures. I really feel like we received top level service, and I never worried about our pups. I would definitely recommend working with Marikita!”
“Devlin was fantastic with my dogs. Both my dogs are a little high maintenece as one is elderly and the other has high anxiety. The dogs responded well to him and he spent a lot of time with them, which is key for our doggies. We’ve already rebooked him for our next trip!!”
About: I have helped dog sit and take care of many different kinds of dogs with my friends and I am looking into getting into it myself! I am currently in school from 9:30 to 12:30 and working about 20 hrs a week, so I have plenty of time to check up on your pets throughout the day! While I live in an apartment as a student and am unable to provide care in my own home, I'm willing to follow any directions provided to me to insure the safety and happiness of your pets.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little! I grew up with 4 dogs of my own. I’m also a dog groomer, so I have knowledge on all sorts of dogs and their behaviors. I work full time as a dog groomer Tuesday- Saturday until 3 on average. I can stop by to see your pups in the afternoon and all day Sunday and Monday I provide pet care in the client’s home, making sure pets are comfortable, safe, and well cared for in their familiar environment. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, maintain a clean space, and give each pet plenty of attention, care, and supervision.
“Thank you Tracy for taking such good care of Penny while we were out of town. Appreciated the daily updates and that you cleaned up the space before we came home! We hope to be able to use your services again!”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life! I grew up with three dogs, multiple cats, goats, chickens, and horses, and I’ve also had a cat of my own. Over the years, I’ve continued pet sitting for friends, family, and others who have reached out when they needed someone dependable to care for their animals. Having experience with so many different animals has taught me that every pet has their own personality, routines, and needs. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, a little shy, independent, or just looking for some extra attention, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I understand that pets are family, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re being cared for, getting attention, and sticking to their normal routines while you’re away. I’m happy to help with feeding, walks, playtime, litter box cleanup, and all the little things that make your pet feel at home I work full-time, with a weekday off and most evenings and weekends available for pet care. My schedule offers a good amount of flexibility, and I’m happy to work with pet owners to find times that fit their needs. My approach is to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I try to keep things as close to their normal routine as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of attention and companionship. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their home with the same respect I would my own. I’ll make sure pets have fresh food and water, their spaces stay clean, litter boxes are maintained, and they get the attention and exercise they need. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I know every animal is different, so I take the time to learn their personalities, routines, and any special instructions. My goal is for you to come home to happy, comfortable pets and know they were in good hands!
About: I have many years of experience caring for animals of all types! I have worked in a veterinary clinic, at a doggie daycare, and on a chicken farm. I also have a Great Pyrenees of my own who is the love of my life! I understand a lot about pet behavior as I have done a research project at the Capital Humane Society studying the effects of training and one-on-one play. I am also a senior at UNL studying companion animal science! All of my classes are currently online, so I spend most of my time at home! I do have a part-time job, which makes me unavailable on Tuesdays and every other Saturday. I treat every pet like my own! I am unhealthily obsessed with animals. I do have a Great Pyrenees in my home, but I have family members who are more than welcome to watch her if our pets would not get along! I am willing to pet sit in your home if that is easier or if it feels safer for you! I am very accommodating and just want to help out where I can!
About: I love being around animals! I got my first dog when I was 15 and trained him myself. Then I have dogs sat for countless families. I have cared for puppies to senior dogs and of all kinds. I work part time and go to college full time, but I have lots of time in my schedule for pups. I am avalible in the afternoons and on weekends I do not have a fenced in yard, but I have a yard and I love to go for walks and be outside with your dog! I can crate them if preferred or accommodate to many situations.
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.
“Liz was great! She was quick to respond to messages and it was amazing that she was able to dog sit on such short notice! She came over the day before to meet Maverick and he liked her immediately! I will definitely be rebooking with Liz should the need arise.”
About: Hello! As someone who has grown up around all different kinds of dogs, I would love to get to meet and care for yours! I have been dog sitting since I was 13 in my hometown Springfield, Missouri, and have had the opportunity to work with several families here in Lincoln since joining Rover. As a college student, I’m excited for the opportunity to continue this with your furry friends! I’m experienced with small and large dogs as well as both puppies and senior dogs. I also have experience with dogs that are quick to aggression as long as I am warned before! I’m currently a student at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, with a very flexible schedule. I am available at any point in the day for drop ins as well as overnight stays! I am comfortable and experienced in crating dogs, as well as working with dogs that are quick to aggression. I will abide by any household rules and guidelines as well as ask questions for clarification if needed to make sure your pets get the best care and you feel comfortable leaving them with me!
About: I have been pet and house sitting for the past seven years, primarily caring for dogs and cats, but I also have experience with a wide variety of more unique pets. I’m currently attending the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, pursuing a degree in Fisheries and Wildlife, and my love for animals goes well beyond the classroom. Over the years, I’ve personally owned and cared for fish, turtles, frogs, dogs, cats, rabbits, rodents, and a variety of birds, so I’m comfortable with pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I’m responsible, reliable, and kind, and I would love the opportunity to give your pets the same care and attention I give my own. The only thing on my schedule is class from 11 to 12:30 everyday. Will build my schedule around times that I am needed to attend to your pets. Your pet’s safety is my top priority! I’m pretty sure my years of experience caring for my own personal “zoo” have prepared me for just about anything! I’m careful about following each pet’s routines, keeping doors, gates, leashes, and other potential escape routes secure, and making responsible decisions based on each animal’s needs and behavior. I take time to understand feeding instructions, medications, exercise routines, allergies, and any special safety concerns before caring for a pet, and I’m attentive and proactive while they’re in my care. My goal is for you to feel confident that your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away
About: I’ve been a pet owner my whole life! I also began pet sitting at a very young age. I’ve dealt with dogs and cats of ages that range from newborn to 15. I also have experience working in an animal boarding facility. I was tasked with taking care of 50 dogs and several cats at a time as well as cats and bunnies on occasion. I administered medication and meals that followed strict diets. I would also walk each pup daily (if required by owner). I have a love for all pups and I will always do whatever I can to ensure they are happy and taken care of! I work 10-3 on weekdays and either afternoons or evenings on weekends. Other than that I am usually free and can be very flexible! As of now, I am living in an apartment. There is a dog park nearby with plenty of room for pups to run and play.

FAQs for House Sitting - Martell
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 269 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 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 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.
sitters 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 sitter.
