“Theresa will go above and beyond to make sure your home and animals are safe. Our pups love and trust her. We’re so grateful to have met her. We will 100% book again.”
“Saydie was absolutely wonderful with our pets! She took great care of Kai (our dog who needs daily medication) and Mittens (our cat), and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in good hands while we were away. She was responsible, respectful of our home, and kept us updated with messages, photos, and videos, which we really appreciated. We could tell both pets were happy and comfortable with her. I would definitely recommend Saydie and will happily book her again in the future!”
“Kate provided great care for my reactive dog while I was traveling! She accepted my last minute booking, and followed my care instructions exactly, also administered medication. I came home to a happy doggo. I'd recommend booking with Kate!”
“Kassi was great with our doggies! She was a godsend on short notice and took care of 4 dogs for us during a family emergency. Super sweet and our dogs loved her! Thanks Kassi. Hope to be able to use you again!”
“Desirey did an excellent job with our exuberant young dog and much slower old dog. During her house sitting, we got daily photos and updates and she was always quick to respond to our messages. We will certainly book Desirey again!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Laura watching our dog, Karma! We were gone for a week for our destination wedding and we were able to fully enjoy our time knowing she was well taken care of and in good hands! Laura was very diligent about taking lots of notes over all of Karma’s routines and needs when we initially met with her and kept us updated on her each day that we were gone!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 15 years! I’ve grown up with pets my entire life and have been pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors since I was in 4th grade. I’ve cared for both dogs and cats and absolutely love them both! I also spent 3 years volunteering with a bully breed rescue, where I gained experience caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m currently attending graduate school in Medical Physics and enjoy spending my free time with animals. Whether your pup needs a fun walk or some extra exercise, or your cat needs some companionship and care while you’re away, I’m happy to give your pets the attention and love they deserve. I’m comfortable with both small and large dogs and will always treat your pets like they’re my own. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends! 🐾 I currently work overnight at a hotel and attend graduate school, which gives me a unique schedule with plenty of daytime availability for pet care! I carefully plan my schedule around classes and work so that I can give each pet the attention they deserve. I’ll always be upfront about my availability and only accept bookings I know I can give my full attention to. 🐶🐱 Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. When caring for pets in their home, I treat their space with the same care and respect I would my own. I follow your instructions closely, maintain your pet’s normal routines as much as possible, and make sure doors, gates, and other areas are secure. I’m mindful of keeping their environment clean and comfortable, and I’ll always leave your home just as I found it. Most importantly, I want your pets to feel safe and relaxed in their own space while you’re away. 🐾
“I can’t say enough about what an amazing job Kristi did. I would highly highly recommend her services. She communicated on a regular basis. I’ve used sitters before where they were just “there”. Kristi actually spent time interacting with my three dogs. She took the time to get to know each of their personalities. She asked questions about what they liked and didn’t like and even took time to brush them. Five stars!!’”
“Bryce was really reliable and great with communication! He established an early connection with Ziggy and got along well and Ziggy was in great shape when I came home! Overall, he was an awesome dogsitter ?”
“Sue was terrific. She house sat for three nights and took great care of the house and my 12 week old Cairn Terrier. She stayed in touch with txts, photo and videos. I recommend Sue without hesitation. You will not be disappointed.”
“My girls liked Linda on our first meeting/meet and greet. That is a very good sign especially since one of my GSDs is my protector and does not warm up to strangers. Linda sent me several check in texts and pictures a day. I really appreciated her thoroughness and promptness to my replies and questions. I hope to be able to book again with Linda and I highly recommend.”
“Emily is the best. Simply the best. The dogs love her and she is so accommodating. She takes such good care of our babies. She loves them like her own! We are moving away and will miss her so much!”
“Just lovely. Dogs were relaxed and very happy when we returned, and the house was perfect. Deb is kind and very patient, even with our “problem child”. Highly recommend!!”
“Frankie was in great hands! We needed a last-minute sitter for a 3-day stay at our house, and she was wonderful. She kept us updated while we were away, which gave us a lot of peace of mind, and it was clear Frankie was well cared for and comfortable. We came home to a happy dog, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.”
“Erica was amazing! She stepped in and helped out with very little notice and did an incredible job, keeping us updated the entire time. She was also flexible with the time we returned. Thanks so much, Erica - definitely 5 stars!!”
About: With 11 years of hands-on experience caring for both my own pets and others’, I specialize in cats and dogs — I know how to read their body language, keep them comfortable, and stick to their routines. Since I work from home, your pet gets consistent attention throughout the day, not just quick check-ins. And because I don’t have other pets in my home, your pet gets my full, undivided attention — no competing for space, food, or affection with a resident animal. Pet care fits naturally into my everyday life, not just around it. My work is flexible, so I’m either home or able to come back frequently throughout the day — your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches. I’m available all seven days of the week, so there’s no gap in coverage between weekdays and weekends. Boarding • Your pet stays in my home with no other pets competing for attention. I keep feeding and routines on schedule, and since I work from home, someone’s around for most of the day. Drop-ins • I follow whatever routine you’ve set — feeding, medication, fresh water, litter box or potty breaks, and playtime — with a photo update after each visit. Walks • One walk a day, paced to your pet’s comfort level, on-leash and supervised the whole time. I pay close attention to their cues, especially with cats and small-to-medium dogs, where I have the most hands-on experience. *Every visit ends with a photo, so you always know your pet is happy and cared for.

Kate is absolutely fantastic! She arrived on time to the meet and greet a week prior to meet my girls (cats) and to learn all about their needs, and my home, since should would be overnighting with them for a week. The actual care she provided them couldn't have gone better; especially, since one of the girls needed liquid medication twice a day. I received updates and pictures throughout the stay. Stressing about leaving them was alleviated because of Kate's professionalism and compassionate care. I highly recommend Kate to all furbaby Mom's and Dad's!
Ebone did a great job taking care of our dog, Mae, while we visited family. It was our first time leaving her alone, but we came back to a happy dog napping in her kennel. Ebone also sent us some very cute pictures of their walks and some snuggle time on the couch.
Addisen was amazing with both our dog and cat. She took great care of them and our home, and they were both very happy with her company. The communication and updates were amazing with pictures multiple times a day; she really put our minds at ease about our pets while we were away.
Taegan is an amazing sitter! I never felt worried about my cats when she was watching them. She sent multiple pictures throughout the time she watched them and always made sure to keep me updated on how they were doing! I’ve booked with her twice and my cats love her. I would recommend her a hundred times over - she’s amazing!
We couldn't ask for a more professional or amazing sitter than Jordan. We left for a 10-day international trip and put a lot of faith in his previous reviews prior to booking. We were kept up to date with photos and pet details throughout our trip. We had a last minute medical issue with one of our cats a day before we we left, which really was a stressful situation for us and the pet concerned, but he really was amazing and taking the best care possible. Our dog is a sweet high-energy girl who requires a lot of attention, and she thrived throughout our absence. I left quite specific instructions and details, probably because I'm a little neurotic, but he was so professional and kept my mind at ease. He took excellent care of our home and we are so appreciative. If you are wondering if Jordan is the right person for your needs, I hope this review helps encourage you to hire him. Much thanks from our family!
Raina is fantastic with my fear-aggressive dog. She always takes stellar photos that show he and my cats are having a good time and doing well. She is friendly and professional, and follows instructions well. I know I can trust her with my family and not spend the weekend worrying. I highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you, Raina!
Brooke was great! We felt very comfortable having her stay at our home and care for our pets while we were out of town. We have a large dog that recently had knee surgery and required additional attention. Brooke did a great job with our pets and kept us to date on things the entire week. This was the first time we used a pet sitter instead of resorting to our local kennel, and we couldn't be happier about the results. Brooke is tentative, responsible and a great communicator. We will definitely work with Brooke in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Omaha on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 630 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Omaha. 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 Omaha 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 Omaha 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 Omaha 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.

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.
