“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.”
“Mackenzie stayed with our dog when we were out of town for 4 nights! She was awesome, sent pictures every day, and left the house spotless!! We will definitely be utilizing her in the future!”
“Brayden did such a great job with my two dogs! They can be very high energy at times but they were so calm and good with him. He sent me pictures and updates throughout the entire overnight visit. I will definitely be booking with him again!”
“Couldn’t ask for better care of our pups. This was Theresa’s 2nd time staying with our dogs which can be a handful. This trip was for 10 days and it was almost like we were never gone as judged from the dogs’ behavior upon our return. She kept in touch sharing pics of our pups throughout. It’s wonderful traveling knowing your pets are being well cared for!”
“Paloma is wonderful! Our dogs love her and love being able to stay at home when we’re away. She communicates regularly and we would definitely love to book with her again!”
“Great experience with Vanessa! She was very kind to our nervous pups and had them (literally) eating out of her hand. This was our first experience but definitely would recommend”
“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!”
About: I’ve always had at least one animal since i was a child, I’ve worked as a kennel tech and I’ve been to vet school! I have a couple cats and a dog, they are my WORLD!! My dog had a bad life before I adopted him, and I completely trained him myself with very little help. He is a perfect, well behaved angel now! My schedule is pretty open! I am a stay at home wife and I’m in school, so I have plenty of time on my hands to care for your pets! I am thoroughly knowledgeable on all things dog safety related, my pooch has had a rough go at it so I’ve take courses on animal CPR, de-escalation training, and I am familiar with taking care of animals with health issues. Every pet is different and they all need varying levels of care and comfort requirements.
“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!!”
“Karen was amazing! I knew my pups and home were in good hands after we met but I didn’t know HOW good she was. She sent photos and the dogs loved her so much they looked for her after we came home.”
“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.”
“Abby was a complete blessing to watch our pups for the week so we could enjoy some beach time. The pups are well fed, happy and content when we got home and the house looked fabulous too! So glad we chose Abby and Rover! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts ❤️💕”
“Laura helped us out in a pinch. She’s prompt and took care of our high energy pup and made sure he got plenty of walks in. I appreciate her taking such good care of him while we were gone.”
“Dara was awesome doing our home visit for our 3 dogs! She was on time and great with communicating as well. We were very happy with her service and felt confident that our pups were in such good care with her!”
“Sarah was punctual, friendly, and tidy. Milo enjoyed playing with her and going for walks. Milo seemed very comfortable around her. She was able to follow directions and kept with his schedule while we were gone. We will definitely book Sarah again.”
“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!”
“Bridget did a great job taking care of our two pups! She was thorough, swift with communication and helped our reactive pup with his triggers in the backyard. We will definitely work with her again!”

She did a fantastic job. Our dog is usually very anxious when we return from a trip and with Mackenzie she was very comfortable which told me she was well taken care of. Our house was clean upon our return as well which was great. We will be asking for Mackenzie’s help in the future!
This will be our last time with Megan -as she is moving away. She has been the best dog sitter for now 15 year old chihuahua over the last few years. As boy’s medical needs became more complicated, Megan took him on and did a fabulous job. We were so lucky to have her take care of King.
Claire was an absolutely wonderful house sitter and took excellent care of our home and our four pets — Murphy, Jack, Milo, and Sophie. It was clear from the start how much she genuinely loved and cared for animals. Our two dogs were happy, relaxed, and well cared for, and our cats received just as much attention and affection. Claire kept us updated during her stay, with pictures and comments, and treated our home with respect, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We came home to happy pets and a well-kept house. We would gladly welcome Claire back anytime and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and responsible house sitter.
Robert provided in-home sitting services for our 2 special needs rescue Wheatens. Our dogs require extreme patience, kindness and even some heavy lifting. One dog is not yet adjusted to her new life and is afraid of most everyone and everything. Robert was able to work with her and even get her to warm up to him so much more than we would have ever expected. The other dog is a ball of energy that needs to be watched closely. Robert handled both of these handfuls marvelously. This is the first time using Rover and doing in home sitting services and from day one of our trip it was clear Robert was up to the task making our worries, concerns and anxiety about leaving “the girls” unfounded and helped us be comfortable and relaxed about being gone.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Papillion on Rover is $55.5 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 636 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Papillion. 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 Papillion 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 Papillion 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 Papillion 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.
