House Sitting in Palmyra

“Hannah is phenomenal. Super friendly, punctual and professional. Scout is super timid and he took to her immediately and actually gave her a hug on her second sitting appointment, which he never does. I highly recommend her!!”

“Took the best care of Daisy and communicated perfectly! Will be rebooking when needed in the future!”

About: Although I don't have a dog of my own, pets have always been a part of my life! My childhood best friend has two golden retrievers, so growing up we spent countless hours taking them out for playtime and keeping them occupied. My sister adopted an adorable golden doodle two summers ago, and our house is like his second home because of how often he loves to visit. Any of my friends can count on me asking "Where's the dog?" whenever I come over, because I just gravitate to having a furry friend by my side! I specialize in discovering all of your pets' silly quirks that make them unique and working with them from there. I also specialize in working with hyper-active pets, being able to expend their energy in a healthy way and calm them down. I adapt well between large and small animals, handling them each with the proper care/delicacy they need. I have a lot of free time to fill this summer, so my general availability will always be open. I am mainly open to Doggy Day Care, House Sitting, and Dog Walking, but am also interested in Boarding! My daily availability is the most open in the mornings and afternoons, so if you leave home early for a job or a trip I'll be right here to step in. Weekends are also free to Board! I have a large yard with plenty of room for your dog to get out their zoomies! There are also two parks in walking distance from my house, so I have plenty of access to the outdoors. My sister has a mini golden doodle who visits all the time, so I can always set up play dates to give your pet a furry friend. I can administer any medication your dog has need of if I have instructions, and will send as many updates as needed so you know they're in good hands! Relaxation time is always great to have, but I will make sure your pet has a good variation of activities so they are never bored. If I am aware of any triggers your pets has, I will provide a safe environment, whether in your home or mine, so I can always keep them stress-free.

“Lincoln was great. Very responsive and Sindar was well cared for. Lincoln was flexible as plans were fluid and that was very appreciated.”

About: As someone who works in the pet care industry and has three dogs of my own, caring for animals is a huge part of my life.

I know how important consistency can be for animals, especially for shy pets, seniors, or pets who may become stressed in new environments. I always take time to learn each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, personality, and comfort needs to help them feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind during visits.

“Kayla was awesome. She sent pictures and updates. She stayed the night to watch my dog and cat and would definitely recommend her. I’ll be sure to use her again.”

About: I genuinely love caring for animals and making sure they feel safe and loved. I have a chocolate lab puppy, so I’m very experienced with energetic dogs and training, and I also have another dog with separation anxiety, which has helped me learn how to comfort pets who may feel nervous or miss their owners. I enjoy helping puppies learn and grow, and I also have a big heart for animals in need—if I ever see a stray, I make it a priority to make sure they’re safe and help them find a home or get help. That same level of care goes into every pet I watch. Pet care fits easily into my routine. I currently work part-time and am not scheduled often, so I have a very flexible schedule and am available most days of the week. I’m able to let your dog out during breaks, as well as before and after work. I’m also willing to get up early or stay late to make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need. keep pets on their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. In your home, I follow all instructions and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and care. In my home, I provide a safe and calm environment with my friendly 7-year-old dog. I can crate your dog if needed and am happy to let them sleep with me if that’s what they’re used to. My chocolate lab puppy stays with another family, so that won’t be a concern.

“Jessica is amazing! She is punctual and super nice. Scout immediately took a liking to her and she watched Scout on really short notice when his original sitter was sick. She is great!!”

“Encountered a travel delay and Olivia was able to stay an extra day last minute! Great service! Glad to know my dogs were well taken care of!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets pretty much my whole life! I’ve owned horses for 10 years, dogs all my life, and I have had to grow up taking on responsibilities to care for them. I have scheduled appointments, washed, fed, and walked dogs as needed. I truly love animals and would love nothing more to care for your pet! I’m currently working full-time (9am-2pm), but work from home Monday & Fridays! Perfect for walks, playing and potty breaks as needed. I’m also pretty active, so I love to take breaks as much as possible. I live in a pet-friendly apartment, which makes it easy for walks and play time! I love to play and cuddle up with any dog as much as I can!

“My husband & I have used Rover in the past (taking our 3 dogs to the sitter for overnights), but it’s approaching 3, or so years now since doing so. We have been fortunate having family members watch our 3 Brittany’s in our home, finding they do much better in their own environment & it also eases my mind. While having a personal acquaintance confirmed 2 months in advance to be lined up for an overnight with them, 3 days before it blew up in our face. We were left scrambling, as our family was unavailable. So, I to Rover, searching for someone who would not only care for 3 dogs, but also commute 20-25 minutes, outside of the Lincoln city limits. Daryn even drove to our home, 2 days before to meet our trio/us & see where she’d be staying! She is such a friendly & sweet, young lady, not to mention, was wonderful with our dogs… they ALL loved her!! She was great about sending me photos, too! We will definitely rebook with Daryn and I will make sure to tell others about her! Thank you so much again, Daryn!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and currently have two dogs back home in Omaha that I absolutely adore. Being away from them during my last summer in Lincoln made me realize how much joy animals bring into my life, which is what inspired me to join Rover. I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, administering basic care, and giving pets lots of attention and affection. I understand how important trust and communication are when leaving your pets with someone, so I always aim to provide dependable care and regular updates with photos. I work full time during weekdays, so I’m best suited for pets comfortable with a daytime routine, but I make sure they receive plenty of love, exercise, potty breaks, and attention before and after work (I am also more than willing to leave during my lunch if need be!!) I truly treat every pet like family and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I work weekdays during the day, but I’m available for morning and evening walks, drop in visits, overnight care, and weekend availability. I always make time to give pets attention, exercise, affection, and consistent care so they feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I always prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I carefully follow feeding schedules, potty routines, walking instructions, and any special care requests provided by owners. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet, so I make communication a priority and provide regular updates and photos. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets feel secure, loved, and well cared for at all times

About: Have experience with both cats and dogs through owning and helping through the years. I currently have five cats and three dogs of my own so I am very familiar with feeding schedules, cleanings, playtimes, monitoring behaviors, and making sure everyone feels safe in their own environment. I’m comfortable caring for different pets of different sizes and energy levels, including walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and giving them attention and companionship while their owners are away.

“Macy was responsive in the interview process, engaged in a zoom and an in-person meeting prior to dog-sitting. She sent several photos of our dogs during her 17-day stay. When we returned, our plants were alive and the house was in good order, and most importantly, the dogs were healthy.”

About: Hi there! I grew up in Nebraska on an acreage surrounded by animals, so caring for pets has always been second nature to me. After years of looking after both dogs and cats, I’ve learned exactly how much attention, comfort, and playtime our furry friends need — and I love being the person who gives it. Along with pet care, I’m a full-time Realtor and also run my own business, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I understand how important it is to have someone responsible in your home while you’re away, whether it’s for work, travel, or anything in between. People who know me would describe me as reliable, easygoing, and genuinely caring. I’m happy to meet beforehand or hop on a quick call so you feel completely comfortable. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family and keep your home in great shape, I’d love to help. Feel free to reach out anytime — I’m excited to meet you and your pets! I am an independent contractor and work for myself so my schedule is a bit more flexible than the average person's schedule. I set my own hours. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, whether I’m in your home or mine. That means sticking to their feeding schedule, walk times, playtime, and any house rules you set. I keep their environment clean, safe, and comfortable, and I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. My goal is for your pet to feel relaxed, loved, and right at home while you’re away.

“I would leave 10 Stars if I could! Elizabeth took amazing care of our three dogs and a cat! After meeting her for the first time I knew she was the person I could trust with my pets. She is professional in all respects. All the dogs reacted calmly when introduced to her. She goes above and beyond what is normally expected. My dogs are very active and require exercise and a lot of attention. Both of those conditionals were met with Elizabeth exercising them twice a day. She is trustworthy, caring, and followed our dog schedule perfectly. Elizabeth showed her ability to handle situations when ants invaded our house. We were able to rid the house of ants with the help of a neighbor and Elizabeth keeping the dogs clear of any toxic over spray. I am so thankful for her taking care of issues when they arise. Communications with Elizabeth were excellent as she was in contact everyday. Upon our return, we found our house clean and devoid of mountains of dog hair. It is so comforting to know you can leave the country and know that your pets are receiving the best care possible. I highly recommend Elizabeth for taking care of any pet.”
