“Tricia does such a great job with our dogs, and they enjoy having her here. She sends lots of pictures and updates and has quickly become our go-to sitter for our pack. Highly recommend!”
“Mark was an amazing house sitter for us and we even quickly rebooked to use him again in December. He sent us a ton of pictures daily and regularly. This is something I very much appreciated getting constant updates/pics throughout the day, every day. This brings so much peace of mind while we are away. Would highly recommend Mark!”
“Abby was absolutely amazing! My dog loved her instantly and she was so attentive to his individual needs and anxiety. I was anxious to try out new dog sitters as I just moved to the area but she was always keeping me in the loop and was extra loving to my fur buddy. Will use again!”
“Kayla was absolutely amazing with both of our 50+ lb dogs. One of our dogs is anxious around new people, but Kayla’s calm demeanor made them fast friends. She was able to schedule last minute and was very accommodating to our schedule. She left the house spotless, kept the dogs on an active schedule, and regularly updated us on how they were doing. We will definitely be booking again”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was little. I grew up with three little bichon poodle puppies. I now have a Catahoula Leopard Dog of my own. I currently work at starbucks, and soon I’ll be starting to attend ASU online for Pre Veterinary Medicine. Looking to fill my free time with your cute pets All of my dogs are taken out a leash whenever they go outside just in case because you never know what could happen. Unless they are in a fenced backyard
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have always loved caring for animals. I’m patient, dependable, and very attentive to each pet’s individual needs and personality. I’m experienced with dogs of different sizes, energy levels, and temperaments, and I’m happy to stick to routines, administer basic care, go on walks, play, and provide lots of attention while you’re away. I understand how important it is to keep pet parents updated, so I’ll make sure you receive regular photos and communication for peace of mind. Whether your pet loves being active or prefers relaxing and cuddling, I’ll make sure they feel loved and cared for like they’re part of my own family. My schedule is very flexible and changes slightly depending on the month. In May, I have open availability. In June, I’m in class Tuesdays from 8 AM–3 PM and Wednesdays/Thursdays from 8 AM–11 AM. In July, I only have class on Mondays from 8 AM–11 AM. Outside of class, I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care, including walks, playtime, feeding, check-ins, and overnight care depending on the booking. I’m available mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and I always make sure pets stay on their normal routines and feel comfortable while their owners are away. I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. Whether I’m caring for pets on a walk or a in a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions. I’m very attentive to pets’ behavior and needs, and I make sure they’re always supervised in a safe environment. I keep spaces clean, secure, and pet-friendly, and I’m careful when introducing pets to new surroundings or routines. I also understand how important communication is, so I provide regular updates and photos to help owners feel at ease while they’re away.
“Gabrielle was amazing! I always worry about leaving our older dog, Bogey, he has anxiety issues and needs a lot of love and care. Gabby stayed in our home while my family and I were on vacation. She did an incredible job making sure Bogey went out when needed, she cleaned up any accidents he had, and the most important thing is she stayed the night in our home, which allowed Bogey to sleep in her bed and gave him comfort all night, as if I was home. I had zero concerns or issues while gone and I hope she’ll want to come back to watch Bogey for us again. Thank you so much!”
About: I grew up with animals, so I am comfortable around and am experienced with them. I also frequently dog and cat sit for friends and acquaintances! I work part time, so I have plenty of time to give animals the time and love they need! I also am flexible with schedule. I offer dog walking and services only at client's home, but I am careful, trustworthy, and will follow instructions well. I will accommodate to whatever you and your pet needs!
About: I love dogs and cats. I have had them my whole life! My labrador just passed away so I am looking for some pet interaction! I miss her dearly. I have taken care of both dogs and cats with special needs, behavioral issues, and senior pets. I love taking both on walks, car rides, park trips, etc. whatever they like to do! Currently working a hybrid job so I can work from home if needed. I’m more of a home body so I will have plenty of chill time with your fur babies. I also like going on outdoor adventures like walks and dog parks weather permitting. At home I have a fenced yard in a quiet neighborhood. There is one friendly dog and one solitary but other pet friendly senior cat. Both can be secluded to the upstairs if needed.
“Elizabeth is awesome! She has a great background with animals, so you feel confident that she’ll give them the love and attention they need. Newton and Tucker took to her quickly.”
“Our dog was very well cared for by Eva. She provided updates and photos several times a day, kept us informed of how well Daisy did with her normal daily routine and played with her both inside and outside. Daisy can be stubborn on walks when my husband isn’t present, but Eva followed Daisy’s routine, encouraging her to walk even though she didn’t go as far as she normally would. She kept a close eye on Daisy’s behavior and called us immediately when concerned about a chronic health issue. We talked it through over the phone and we appreciated Eva’s ability to notice the change in Daisy’s behavior and take necessary action. Her loving care helped us relax and enjoy our trip knowing our girl was well cared for at home. We came back to a calm and rested dog and we truly appreciate it!”
About: I have been working at a Pet Resort for the past year and a half where I complete basic pet care, cleaning, daycare, and walks/playtimes! I also have a dog of my own and will also be attending college this fall going to learn to be a vet tech. *Please note that I will be leaving for college beginning/mid August* I work part time at a Pet Resort, so my hours a pretty flexible in taking care of any sorts of animals. I really love my job and what I do and I am diligent in providing animal care. I am flexible in providing whatever care your animal needs!

About: I have always had dogs. I have trained dogs for years, including hunting dogs. I have helped others with their animals throughout the years as well. I also take care of a farm and their animals from time to time just north of Omaha she would be a reference. I work remotely, so I’m home all the time unless I need to run a quick errand. There is direct access into my apartment, so no need to go through hallways. I will treat them like they’re my own and we walked every day. I have a park here. I also live right next to Lake Zirinsky so taking a walk at the park is easy.
“Jessica was amazing! She stayed at our house with our lab while we were on vacation. She sent many pictures and kept us updated on how things were going! She left the house very clean and even brought us flowers :) I highly recommend Jessica and look forward to having her stay again.”
“Kara did a wonderful job watching our dog Luna in our home while we were out of town. She was very responsive, sending us daily updates and photos which we loved! And she went above and beyond to make Luna feel comfortable during some over night storms that came through. We will definitely be hiring her again in the future!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 819 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mead. 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 Mead 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 Mead 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 Mead 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 Mead. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
