About: I grew up with dogs, so caring for pups has always been a natural part of my life. I’m lucky to live near several parks—including a dog park—so pups will get plenty of opportunities for exercise and fresh air. My schedule also allows me to stop by during lunch breaks, which helps keep pets on their normal routine. Walking is also one of my favorite pastimes so your pet can expect lots of those :) I currently have a couple of cats of my own who are comfortable around other animals for overnight stays. I know how much I miss my kitties when I’m out, so you can expect pictures and updates throughout the days. I aim to provide dependable, attentive care just like I’d hope for my own. Am no stranger to medical needs as well and am comfortable providing medicines as needed Weekends I am completely available to stop by in your home or I offer overnight stays at my home. I have a roommate whose schedule is available during the day so overnight stays can be offered during the week as well. I work a typical 9-5 throughout the week but am available before, during lunch or afterwards in the evenings during the week for stop ins depending on location I have a large backyard and localized access to multiple dog parks and trails. I own two kitties myself that are comfortable around both dogs and cats.

“Jessah was absolutely amazing! She was able To watch our cat and dog on short notice and did a great job of letting us know how the fur babies were doing and getting along. Would totally recommend her if you need your babies taken care of!”
About: I’ve taken care of family and friends’ pets my whole life! Lived with, watched, and have been an active participant in the care of family dogs and friends pets for more years than I haven’t. I have a full time job. Currently off evenings and weekends. Can wake up early enough to provide morning care and after work and evening activities and care! I am open and flexible to any special care instructions. I focus on the health, wellbeing, and happiness of any animal under my care. You tell me what your pet needs and I will provide!
“Jackson took wonderful care of our dog Sawyer and cat Scarlett while we were away from the weekend. He sent lots of pictures and videos to update on their wellbeing and promptly responded to all messages. We will definitely be rebooking with him again!”
“Mark was absolutely wonderful with our dogs! So attentive and went above and beyond, especially during a very stressful time for animals…4th of July. He was very communicative, and we always knew what was going on with our pups regularly. It meant so much to us that we could relax on vacation knowing they were well taken care of! Will definitely be working with Mark in the future!”
“Abby was a fantastic housesitter. She waa super communicative and sent daily pictures of our cat Biebs. Our home was just as we left it and Biebs was super relaxed when we returned! Looking forward to having Abby stay again!”
About: I have had both dogs and cats in my household. I don’t currently have a pet, and would love to provide care for your pet! I am a retired teacher with a flexible schedule. I am available weekdays and weekends. Pet care works very well in my current situation and lifestyle. Caring for another person’s pet must align with their preferences, routines, and individual needs. I have cared for each of my pets according to their personality and needs, and my vision for discipline and routine.

Kara was amazing with Bernie!! She was so responsive, sent me lots of pictures and was very detailed about when she was coming/leaving. I also loved that she spent lots of time with him, which I know helped calm his separation anxiety. She even drew me a cute little picture of him💗 I will absolutely book her again!!
I had the most favorable experience with Jack pet sitting my dog. From start to finish my interactions with Jack were completely positive and professional. I had no worries while he was taking care of my dog while I was out of town. Jack sent daily photos, which was a welcome plus. Jack knows how to take care of dogs & interact with them & love them.
We got a new puppy 10 d before our vacation Desirey was awesome! She happily took on our two dogs and kept working on potty training the new puppy did just fine and we came home to a happy house. If there was an option for more than a 20% tip I would do it. Thanks so much Desirey!
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.
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!
Mackenzie always goes above and beyond to make sure my dogs are happy, healthy, and comfortable. She's incredibly kind, responsive, and trustworthy as well. When my travel plans were delayed, she did not hesitate to offer to make sure the dogs were taken care of until I got back. HIGHLY recommend her services!
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!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
