“We recently have started using Rover to assist with dog sitting while we are out of town. I chose Theresa because she has a background of taking care of senior dogs, special needs, and medication administration. She was great with daily updates/feedback. We had been out of town for 3 weeks, she assisted with part of that time. While my dog was in her care she noticed an unusual cough. I was able to set up a veterinarian appointment for the next day. She was happy to take my dog to the vet's office. And called me during the appointment to talk with the veterinarian. Unfortunately, it was not the best news but she was able to administer the new medication, so my dog could be on his way to better health. I appreciate her noticing the issue, and taking care of it. I will definitely be using her again.”
“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!”
“Desirey took wonderful care of Bentley! She was flexible with my schedule for a meet and greet and was very communicative with me while I was out of town. I would definitely call Desirey 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!”
“Candy took great care of Selene while I was out of town. She sent daily pictures of activities and constantly updated me with how Selene was doing while I was away. Would recommend to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
“Rachel was very nice to take my booking at the last minute. She did a great job watching Claire and responding to me. My dog is not the easiest to look after. She let me know when my dog got temporarily sick from breaking into her treat bag. She cleaned up everything before I got home.”
“Abbie was absolutely wonderful! She has such a bright a bubbly personality, our dogs warmed up to her really fast which was surprising and made me feel really happy. Shes really great about sending photos and communicating throughout the time she was with them. I would absolutely recommend her.”
“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!!”
“We are so grateful for Lexi. She took great care of our dog and cats in our home. We were regularly updated and returned home to happy fur babies. We’ll definitely reach out to Lexi the next time we travel.”
“He maintained good communication with us while we were away. Was nice enough to bring in our mail and take our trash bins out without us asking. Went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were taken care of.”
“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!!’”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better caretaker for my pets. Linda was wonderful, always updating me throughout the stay, sending pics and accommodating all my pets’ needs. She was an excellent houseguest and was so courteous. She really is one of a kind and my pets warmed up to her immediately. I have a feeling she spoiled them more than we do!!! She walked frequently and even let them sleep with her. Linda really made our trip away from home stress free since we knew our animals were in good hands. She was a blessing.”
“Kassi took very good care of our super senior cat, making sure she was warm and able to eat without her younger siblings pushing her around. Kassi sent frequent updates with photos and my three babies trusted her enough to cuddle in her lap and sleep near her. I was nervous about booking someone I did not know to be in my house for a week but Kassi did a great job and I plan to hire her again.”
“Bryce was very responsive and understanding of our situation since our dog was not feeling my well right before our trip. Would 100% book him again and recommend him highly!”
“Brandy is great! She is very reliable and communicative. I have a large dog who can be a lot to handle around other dogs and she does great with him. Brandy also house sat for me when my dog had a minor injury. She was on top of managing his care and reporting on his progress while I was away--and sent lots of great pictures. To boot, I returned to a very clean house. I highly recommend Brandy!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Omaha is $46

Candy was amazing with our two dogs! She sent daily updates and pictures of the girls and you could tell how much fun they were having with her. One of my dogs had some minor tummy issues which Candy immediately told me about and we were able to come up with a game plan on how we were going to address it which was another thing that made me feel really good about her watching them. My dogs keep looking for Candy even a couple of days after we got home so you can tell they miss her already. My husband and I cannot wait to book with her again. If I could give Candy 6 stars I would!
Deborah was fantastic! She stayed with our two pups while we were away for a long weekend. Our older dog had recently undergone surgery and was still recovering, so we were especially nervous about leaving her. Deborah kept a close eye on her and gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Both dogs were happy and well cared for, and our older pup looked great when we returned. We couldn’t be more pleased with our experience and would absolutely recommend Deborah!
We had a great experience with Alexis! She stayed in our home with Poppy while we were away on a cruise and had great communication throughout our trip. She sent us photos and videos, and Poppy always looked happy and well cared for, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We came home to a clean and tidy house and a happy pup! We were very pleased and will definitely be using her again.
Abbie was absolutely wonderful! She has such a bright a bubbly personality, our dogs warmed up to her really fast which was surprising and made me feel really happy. Shes really great about sending photos and communicating throughout the time she was with them. I would absolutely recommend her.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Omaha on Rover is $46.62 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 640 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Omaha. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
