“Theresa did a great job with our puppies. She was on time and on track with one of the puppy's daily meds and sent pictures of the puppies all snuggled in. We will definitely call her back to sit with our puppies in the future. Thanks.”
About: Hi, I'm Kate! I live here, in Omaha, NE. I am a very caring person and I absolutely love animals. I'm able to take them on long walks and also have the patience and enthusiasm to provide a steady and comforting environment for while owners are away. After house sitting for a family friend and taking care of their three dogs, I realized this was a great gig for me. Recently I've also been able to teach my friend's pets helpful and fun tricks, like waiting until a release command is given to go outside or even giving a high-five. I hope to hear from you soon! I am available most days in the afternoon and evening. Other than my day-job I have no other extraneous responsibilities so I can dedicate all my free-time to the health and care of your beloved animals. I'm very well-equipped to handle most animals. I acknowledge them as respected members of the family and will not treat them as anything less. My primary goal is to maintain/promote the health and well-being of the animal as if it were my own.
“Ben did a great job with my cat Ninja. Ninja can be a bit difficult at times but, from the pics, it looks like they got along fine. I will definitely ask Ben to cat/house-sit in the future. Thanks Ben!”
“Emily was an incredibly caring and diligent sitter for our pups! She also shared great photos during our trip and we came home to very happy well taken care of pets, can't thank Emily enough!”
“Sue is the perfect dog sitter. She brings her own food and drink. Stays all day and night. Cleans up and takes her garbage out. Sends lots of pictures and videos and is great with our dog Thor. You can tell she really loves what she does. I think Thor misses her after she left! If she is available book her. You won't regret it.”
“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!”
“Chelsea is communicative and punctual, and we were able to relax knowing our dogs were in good hands. We consider our dogs to be a bit high-maintenance, and she didn't miss a beat. Overall, she definitely exceeded our expectations.”
“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!”
“Rachel is the best! She is responsive, reliable, and so sweet to our dog. It was very comforting to know our pet was being well cared for, so we could relax and enjoy our trip. I will ask Rachel to sit again in a heartbeat!”
“Addisen was great with our dog. She came over to meet her before we left, as Ellie can be anxious around new people. They were buds in no time. Good job sending updates & pics. Recommend!”
“I was super nervous having someone new stay with Zorro, because it’s been a long time. Due to a new nephew who wanted to make an early entrance to the world, I had to find someone on short notice. Linda has been amazing! We were able to do a meet and greet right away. She has been so patient and flexible, even adding an extra day so I could stay to help family. She took great care of Zorro and kept me updated. I am very grateful and would definitely recommend her to take care of your fur babies!”
“We couldn't have asked for a better experience with Bryce watching Frankie at our home. From the start, we felt completely at ease knowing Frankie was in such capable and caring hands. Bryce was attentive, reliable, and clearly loves what he does. What really stood out was how Bryce went above and beyond basic pet care. Not only did he take excellent care of Frankie, but he also thoughtfully brought in our packages and took out the trash without us even asking. These extra touches made a huge difference and allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our time away without any worries. Frankie was happy and content when we returned home, which speaks volumes about the quality of care Bryce provides. We would absolutely book with Bryce again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and caring in-home pet sitter. Thank you, Bryce!”
“Erica was great! Very professional and we loved that she asked lots of questions and took notes at the meet and greet. She sent us lots of photos and detailed updates while we were away which gave us peace of mind that Ada was well taken care of. Would love to use her again in the future!”
“Paloma was an outstanding dog sitter. She was extremely dependable and responsible, treated our home with respect, and truly fell in love with our two large dogs. Her communication was excellent, and it was clear she cared for our dogs as if they were her own. When we returned, our home was left neat and tidy. We would absolutely use Paloma’s services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”
“Julia did a good job with our dog. Our dog can be skittish at first and barks quite a bit. Julia stayed at the house and things went well. Using her again for another trip we have planned!”
“Kelsie did a wonderful job looking after my cat! I was nervous about leaving her with a sitter for the first time, but Kelsie made the process so easier. I got daily updates, and everything was in great shape when I got home. Would definitely book Kelsie again!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Omaha is CA$45

We couldn’t have asked for a better caregiver for our pups. She took amazing care of our two elderly dogs, including one who is very timid/anxious and requires medication. She was patient, caring, and made both of them feel completely comfortable, safe, and loved while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. We will absolutely book with her again!
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.
This is the…I think third? time Kiana has watched my pups, and as always I was very happy! (Sorry, calendars and time are something I struggle with! I’m nearly positive it was the third time). The dogs were happy and healthy when I got home and the house was super clean. I would definitely recommend her!
She did a wonderful job, and I would hire her again. She was professional and communicated well with be before and during the stay. I felt my dogs and house were well taken care of. She handled my large, energetic dogs well. I would recommend her services to anyone.

FAQs for House Sitting - Omaha
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Omaha on Rover is $48.15 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 638 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.
