“Alicia was wonderful! One of my cats, unexpectedly had 2 teeth pulled a couple days before Thanksgiving. Alicia came over to meet and learn about what my cat needed while I was gone. She was incredibly attentive and my cats loved her.”
About: I have cared for dogs since I was 11. I have walked, fed, bathed, and occasionally trained breeds large and small often in multiple pet households. In recent years, I have house sat and pet sat for multiple pet homes and currently have a senior black lab mix and a young black lab pointer mix of my own. Summer Hours are more open. Available AM and PM. My typical schedule if fairly flexible, so I have plenty of time to play with, exercise, and assist in pet care and enrichment. I look forward to meeting more furry friends! I always love to chat and ask clarifying questions up front. Consideration and understanding of a pet and their family's rules and routines is a must, not only for consistency but also out of respect for you and your pets home and daily lives.
“Jamie is a wonderful and caring person who loves animals. Our dog is very shy, but she and Jamie hit it off and was well taken care while we were gone. Highly recommend! Thanks again for taking such good care of Missy.”
“Hilary is very thorough with her checkins on my pups. She provides lots of pictures, a solid walk, and is great with communication. I feel confident knowing my dogs are well cared for.”
“Kayla was wonderful!! Our cat was very happy to be able to stay at home and have Kayla come visit daily. I can tell from the pictures, that Carmen loved Kayla. We will definitely be using Kayla in the future”
“Thank you so much Andrea and Edwin for coming out to our camper to walk Chik and scratch Steve!! We really, really appreciate you two! If we’re here in Lincoln and need pet care we’ll most definitely contact you!!! You made our day so…..much easier!!!”
“Big thank you, Syble! We had a long vacation and Syble made sure that our indoor herd were well taken care of. We will definitely be booking her again for our next trip!”
“Abby has been great with our 3 dogs! We have a wild and unruly pup, a reactive and high-energy border collie, and an aging basset - so it's not exactly easy, yet she sure makes it seem that way. We hope to keep using her services as long as she wants to.”
“Chelsea did a wonderful job. She was very timely and quick to reply, and helped us on a very short notice. She communicated well and followed all instructions we asked. Izzy seemed to be really happy and we will definitely use Chelsea again if we need Izzy taken care of while we are gone!”
“Ella is a very nice young lady, who immediately bonded with our cats. We invited her just for an acquaintance meeting, which means she was not left alone with the cats. We're looking forward to using her services.”
About: As cliche as it sounds, taking care of pets isn’t just something I do; it’s who I am. Since I was little, I’ve been surrounded by animals of all kinds – from snakes, hamsters, guinea pigs, chickens, and dogs of all sizes, to fish and cats, including elderly pets.🐶🐍🐰🐢🐱 I’ve been there for potty training, administering medication, grooming, scheduled feedings, and maintaining teeth hygiene. To me, animals are pure and down-to-earth, and deserve the same respect ❤️ I don’t do this just for the money – I do it because I genuinely care about animals. I’ve heard too many sad stories about boarding pets somewhere, not getting the care they deserve, and the excessive costs involved, and I want to change that. This home is as much theirs as it is mine. I offer a six-foot fully gated yard, big enough for several animals to bask in the sun or play with toys.🌤️ I have several dog beds (and furniture) with enough space to care for your babies. Even the smaller critters or pets that aren’t cats and dogs! I recently used Rover myself and was initially skeptical, worried, and just overall leery about the situation. 😅But it turned out to be a wonderful experience, and now I want others to have the same peace of mind and enjoyment. I want pet owners to feel confident that their animals are in good hands so they can truly relax and enjoy their own vacation, knowing their pets are having a great time too.☺️ And if I could, I’d give myself five out of five stars, rated highly by Forbes ⭐️for providing top notch safety and security to help ease your pet’s separation from you while you’re away. Don’t hesitate to text me on any questions, concerns, or just to chat about your pets. It’s a big decision to make who you can trust your animals with, and I am happy to help 🫶 The question is how do I fit pet care into my routine- but I don’t “fit it” into my routine. I follow my animals routine, and what they need to be their best self. I am make it a priority on managing potty breaks, feedings, treats, and everything in between. It especially helps that I am home most of my days, and wouldn’t mind more company ☺️ It’s not that I just want to “provide care.” I feel like anyone could do that, but it’s more of bonding with that animal. It’s learning their needs, routine, and having patience with them. My goal is for them to not view me as a complete stranger, and more as a good friend to have 💕With that being said- I would love to take your dog on a walk, feed them, grooming, playing, and giving all the love they deserve! If there is good communication and understanding, I would be happy to help with proper medication or medical needs as well 🩷
“Very happy I booked with Marisol! I needed a drop-in with only a couple of days notice, and I was nervous about me not having time to do a meet and greet with my nervous pup. She did a great job letting Argos warm up to her, making sure he got some pets and love, and taking him out twice per visit to ensure he did all his business! She was very quick to respond, on-time, and provided a thorough report card. This anxious dog mom is very happy. ☺️”
“100% WOULD RECOMMEND AGAIN! Dom takes such good care of our boys! Our babies are very needy & have abandonment issues. They are only comfortable in their own home with their routines. We have very specific care instructions & one of ours needs medication and he fights it. Dom is consistent and he truly care about our boys’ health and wellbeing while we’re gone. We repeatedly choose Dom time after time because of his great communication, consistency, & level of quality care! Thank you again Dom, you’re the best!”
About: I care for your pets like they’re my own. Patience and safety and super important to me. I have experience with puppies, senior pets and administering medications, so I know how to adjust care for every age and personality. Whether it’s playtime, walks or cozy cuddles. I make sure your pet feels happy, secure and right at home. My goal is simple: fun, safe and stress-free care for your furry family! I currently work from home full time! Which is good news for you because that means I can periodically check up on your furry friend through out the day or if need be I can pack up and work from your house! Typically I end work around 4 p.m. Monday- Friday. I also am open to weekend activities! Working in whatever environment to make the pet feel at peace while their owners are away is super important to me. Mostly, staying with them and watching if anything abnormal is happening. Communication is also key, so taking photos of their day to ensure a safe and enjoyable time is vital.
About: My family has more than 20 years of pet care experience. We have also searched for boarding houses, so I know what pet parents want. A clean boarding house is good for the health of pets, and I clean and disinfect my house every day. My home is close to the park. We take them to the park every day. Exercise is good for the health of pets. I am a graphic designer and usually work at home， so I have more time for pet care. My daughter is a student right now at high school and after school, she can take them on a walk, so we have plenty of time to take care of them. I have a 6-foot fenced yard, also a whole basement for them. They can roam freely in the house, no smoking, and no little kids. I will check them every 2 hours to see if they need anything.
About: I have had animals my entire life! Mostly dogs that have lived well into their teens, but also cats. Most recently I had my dog Bella for over 12 years and the last 3 we traveled the country try between Seattle and Miami by car. She unfortunately passed due to cancer and not ready to own an animal, but still love having them around . I am great at playing with animals to keep them engaged and teaching commands. I also can accommodate animals to their needs if they need medicine or special assistance. I work from home for an agency based in Canada. This means that your animal wouldn’t need to be locked up all day if they stay at my house my flexible schedule also also allows me to add walks in the day and play time so your dog isn’t in a crate all day. I also have a yard big enough for throwing sticks for added fun! I do have a fenced in yard that would allow for your dog to run around. I also wouldn’t mind going to someone’s house if I needed to as well as I am mobile.
“Kassidy has been so amazing and patient with my dog Waylon! He is a newly adopted rescue who was so scared of everything and she’s been so patient with him. I feel very confident knowing that she’s taking care of him!”
Near South pet parents share their Rover experiences
Henry was wonderful! I'll be booking with them again, and I feel very safe leaving my cats in their care. They were punctual when we met up for me to show them the ropes, they listened and understood what I was asking for, and they exceeded my expectations of care once I returned! Thanks Henry, looking forward to booking with you again!!
Tami has been taking care of our cats for years and we can't imagine leaving them in the hands of anyone else! One of our cats is 21 years old and is on medications. This trip, Tami came up with another method to administer one of the meds that works much better and we've now adopted that method. In addition to taking care of our cats, Tami is kind enough to also check our mail, water plants, and fill bird feeders and bird bath. Not in her job description but takes the stress away from traveling knowing our cats, and house, are in great hands! Sadly, we lost one of our 3 cats this year and Tami warmed our hearts with a donation in his honor to the Cat House. Tami is a great communicator and always responds to my texts quickly. She is simply the best!
Kelly has taken wonderful care of our cats. She gets both cat’s personalities and takes time to give them both their preferred forms of attention. Kelly also sends delightful updates with every visit, which make us feel better when we have to leave our little beasts.
Danielle was a great pet sitter and I’m so lucky I stumbled upon her! I highly recommend her to anyone! She was extremely thorough in her visit reports and seemed to really understand what my cat needed based on her body language and behavior. She was communicative and adapted to my senior cat’s needs.
Infinity and her husband are literal angels! Not only did they take great care of my girl Gracie but they went above and beyond for us. My girl is insanely smart and has figured out how to unlock and open my door and they stayed over extra time and helped me brainstorm a solution to keep her safe in my apartment while I was at work. 10/10 would recommend
5⭐️ couldn’t recommend Kayla enough. My 2 little dogs loved her and she did a great job, on time, sent lots of pics, updates, and was always on time! It is such a weight lifted off my shoulders knowing that I don’t need to worry about my dogs while away! Will be biking Kayla again for sure!
Leanne was great with our dogs. I was a first time Rover user and I was super nervous. Leanne took a lot of time to go over things with us and re assured us. I will 100% be using her services again. We didn’t know Leanne before this, but I’m going to give her credit where credit is due! Thanks LeAnne!
Alaina was so professional and helpful! She gave detailed updates and made sure we were up to date on what was happening with our cats. She administered medication well which was a huge help since we have a medically complex cat. We will continue to use her for visits in the future!
