“Justine & Justin did a wonderful job with shandy may! They sent plenty of photos to ease my mind while I was away! Shandy had a blast in the fenced in yard and with their dog Max!,”
“Allyson was amazing! She quickly returned any messages we sent and was SO flexible on drop off and pick up times. Allyson and her family took in our 13 week old puppy while making me feel confident she would he well taken care of. We never felt rushed during drop off time. She allowed time for our Molly to feel comfortable with the other dogs and the new surroundings before I left. Allyson sent me pictures and videos of Molly interacting with the other dogs. Her house is clean and set up perfectly for keeping your dog safe. The backyard is fenced and allows a very safe area for outdoor play and potty place. We will used her again! I highly recommend Allyson!”

Our pets felt comfortable and loved. We had peace of mind knowing our furry babies were well care for. We will definitely use their services again!!”

I highly recommend and will definitely request her again in the future! Thank you again! Finn loved his stay.”

“Scrappy was pampered by Shannah, Nathan and the whole family. We were updated with photos of Scrappy cuddling on the couch, going on walks and happily playing with their little dog, Cleo. I highly recommend them to watch your pets. Sue M.”
About: I've been providing attentive, loving care for pets for over 10 years; including walks, playtime, feeding, administering medication, and plenty of patience, cuddles, and companionship. I am a stay-at-home mom with plenty of time to care for your pup(s). My flexible daily routine allows me to provide attentive supervision, playtime, walks, and affection. My home has a fenced-in yard with plenty of room to run and play, plus two friendly dogs for company. If your pup prefers their own space, my dogs can be easily separated. There's a spacious basement room where your pup can play and relax. If needed, I can crate your pup or use a small pen I have to give puppies and small dogs a little extra room while keeping them safely contained.
“Eliza took great care of Jack. During our meet & greet she allowed him to explore and meet some of her other regulars. She made sure she understood Jack’s schedule and needs as well. Jack was very happy when we picked him up as well as tuckered out from playing. We definitely recommend Eliza.”
“Savannah was absolutely wonderful with my dog! She was very easy to communicate with, responded quickly, and was flexible when arranging the meet-and-greet and coordinating everything. My dog is very shy and usually takes quite a while to warm up to new people, but after just a few days with Savannah, she started to really like her—and even began asking Savannah to keep petting her! It was so reassuring to see my dog become comfortable and happy in her care. Savannah also sent me regular photos every day, which I really appreciated, and she was very attentive to my dog’s well-being. She promptly let me know when she noticed anything unusual, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Overall, I highly recommend Savannah to anyone looking for someone caring, responsible, and attentive to look after their dog. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Absolutely amazing person and our dogs loved her. We have a senior relaxed puppy and a 2 year old full of energy. From the pictures she sent, they were comfortable from day 1. We found our pet sitter.”
About: I've had multiple dogs over my lifetime. I have always been a dog lover and am always sure to give them the love, attention, and exercise that they need and deserve. I work from home two days a week, so the only days I am not at the house with the dogs is Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. On the days that I do not work from home, somebody is always at the house until 7:30 and back at the house by 3:30 I have a fenced in back yard, which makes for a nice safe area to play fetch and run around with my kids. For pets staying overnight, they will get walked at least twice, once in the morning and once in the evening. Depending on the owners preference, we can walk through the neighborhood, or we can take a short drive to Zorinsky and walk around the lake. I have three dogs, all with great temperaments and LOVE to play. I also treat our animals like family, so your pets are also more than welcome to be on furniture if that's where they are most comfortable.
“We had such a great experience with Kalli watching our dog and cat for 5 nights! She was super flexible, communicative, and kept us updated with pictures and messages throughout our trip. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. We would absolutely use her again! 🐾”

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
97% of sitters in Nickerson can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Nickerson home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Nickerson.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Nickerson. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
You and your Nickerson sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NE ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
