About: I have always had dogs in my life. I have one small, blind dog with a big attitude who helped me learn how to handle difficult situations. I have one dog who is half Saint Bernard who helped me learn big dogs are teddy bears. And I watch my friends tiny Shih Tzu who helped me learn even small dogs can outsmart you. I’m experienced in all sizes, shapes, and attitudes...I’ve never met a dog I don’t adore. I'm equally happy helping with cats as well. While I don't own any, I'm happy to assist with any in the home. I currently work full-time on a consistent 8-5 schedule. I have an hour lunch break, so within Minden I can make a stop. I’m flexible as I’m typically in Minden, but prefer as much heads up as possible! Willing to travel on weekends up to 30 miles. I don’t plan on opening my home to dogs as I have a blind, tiny dog. But once there is an established relationship - I would consider.
About: I grew up on a farm in rural Nebraska. I helped take care of everything from cats up to horses/cattle and all in-between. In our home we have June a mix of Basenji/German shepherd, she is 5 years old. Then we have Hank he is a dash hound mix at 4 years old and last but not least we have Florence a shorthaired calico that's almost 2 yrs old. I work from home so that being said I'm home ALL DAY! Your pet(s) would have constant run of the house and huge privacy fenced in back yard. I also love to do interactive toys/mats to keep the brain working hard through the day. We go on daily multi walks! At most your pet would be kenneled for up to two hours in case of grocery/picking up kids from events etc. I have two outgoing friendly dogs that love having play dates! We have a big fenced in back yard for everyone to play and run around in! I can kennel my dogs while your pet has eat time if need be for focus etc. All animals are allowed on all furniture and beds in our home as well.
“Marilyn did a great job taking care of our cat while we went on vacation. We appreciated the picture and video updates and could see that they had so much fun together! We would definitely have Marilyn drop in again when we are gone.”
About: I have been looking after dogs since I was 12, I have about 7 years of experience looking after senior dogs, reactive dogs and anxious dogs. I also have experience with reptiles, birds and small animals. I have previous experience in administering medication, first aid, maintaining cleanliness and other procedures for all types of critters. I am currently self employed and work from home, my schedule is very flexible. I live in Holdrege and I am willing to travel for house sitting. Please provide any specific instruction or requirements for your pets and I will follow accordingly. 😊 I have two leashes and my own waste bags for walks if needed. My schedule is very flexible for house and pet sitting, I also have no problem transporting your pets via car if necessary.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds for over 7 years. Friends, family, and neighbors rely on me to walk, feed, and give their pets plenty of love and attention. I’m comfortable with playful puppies, calm companions, and senior dogs needing gentle care. Your furry family member will always be safe, happy, and well cared for with me. I’m available for pet care after 10am, seven days a week. With advance notice, I can start earlier if needed. Overnight stays are also an option for families who prefer round-the-clock care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, caring environment where they’ll feel secure, loved, and well cared for whether I’m in your home or mine.
About: I love animals, I can get along with all types of dogs, cats, birds, lizards, etc. I have always grew up with having a pet or 2 ! I work mainly on the weekends! Giving me enough time during the week to care for your pets with my full attention, care, love, treats I have a fenced in back yard, I can easily crate your animal (dog, cat, even birds) with cameras to monitor if I step inside for any reason.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Minden stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
