“Tina was so helpful! She responded to my request on Rover almost immediately which was very helpful since it was a last minute request. She came over for a meet and greet so that she could understand our house and meet Ashe. Her walk with Ashe was exactly 30 minutes and Ashe seemed happy as could be from the photos she sent us! Excited to keep working with Tina.”

“Makenna was tasked with walking my very energetic, young, German Shepherd. She did not disappoint! My dog seemed to love walking with her, and Makenna has been very respectful, patient, and loving to my dog even though they just met! Makenna follows instructions to a T, is very thorough with providing me with updates, and has the utmost respect to your property and your pet! If Makenna can handle the energy of my dog, and provide it with good mid day safe exercise, she can do it for any dog. I would highly recommend Makenna for anyone’s pet care needs!”

About: Experienced with diabetic pets, including insulin administration and blood glucose monitoring. Hi! I provide reliable, in-home pet care so your pet can stay comfortable and stress-free in their own environment. I focus on keeping your pet’s routine consistent while you’re away—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or simply having someone there with them. I’m very attentive to behavior and always make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m experienced with pets that need extra attention, including administering medications, insulin, and monitoring blood glucose levels. I understand how important timing and consistency are, and I take care to follow routines closely and safely. Rates are customized based on each pet’s routine and level of care. For pets needing extended time, consistent presence, or specialized care, pricing may be adjusted accordingly. I also spend quality time with the pets I care for, so they’re not left alone for long periods and have consistent companionship throughout the day. You can expect regular updates and communication so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is simple: to keep your pet comfortable, cared for, and in their normal routine while giving you peace of mind. Feel free to reach out with any questions—I’d love to see if I’m a good fit for you and your pet! I like to add a little fun into my routine with animals. I did work at a doggy daycare for about three years, until I successfully came into the medical field. Missing my favorite pups that I created a great/exciting bond with them. I would still like to create new bonds, even if I'm not at the daycare!! I usually write down a schedule sheet on what your pet and I have done doing the days that I have been sitting. Always asked for permission before doing anything. Making sure everything is locked up and looking nice once I leave.

About: For the past four years, I’ve been actively involved in running a busy in-home dog boarding and daycare business through Rover. While my former partner handled most of the client communication and scheduling, I was heavily involved in the day-to-day care of the dogs and was responsible for making sure they were safe, happy, exercised, and well cared for throughout their stay. I regularly cared for multiple dogs at a time, including dogs staying with us 24/7. My responsibilities included taking dogs outside every 1–2 hours, supervising playtime and group interactions, providing exercise and enrichment, cleaning up after them, and paying close attention to their individual personalities and behaviors. Over the years, I’ve learned a great deal about dog behavior and how to safely manage different temperaments, energy levels, and personalities. I became comfortable introducing dogs to one another, supervising group play, recognizing when dogs needed space or a break, and making sure every dog was comfortable in the environment. I also handled a large part of the cleaning and daily upkeep, including deep-cleaning the dog areas, washing food and water bowls, maintaining a clean environment, and making sure the dogs always had a safe and comfortable place to stay. One of my favorite parts of caring for dogs is making sure they have a great experience while their owners are away. I love playing with them, giving them attention, taking them outside, and getting great pictures and updates for their owners so they can see how much fun their dog is having. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and after four years of hands-on experience caring for dogs in a busy boarding and daycare environment, I’m excited to continue doing what I love and provide that same level of care to Rover clients and their pets. This is what I do and have done for a living for the last 4 years, prior to this I was working with my former partner under her rover account, plenty of play time for your pups! I can handle any dog of any temperament or behavioral issues that may require additional safety precautions. I go outside with the dogs in my care ever 1-2 hours, whether it be a group play session or 1 on 1 play. I tailor to every dogs needs.

About: I am a big dog lover. I have had plenty of all different breeds and have loved them all. I live in an apartment and have green space and easy access to long walks. I am located in midtown in Omaha so the access to dog parks and the outdoors is right at my finger tips. I am a big lover and will spend plenty of time showing affection to your dog the love and care they deserve. I also have gone to dog obedience classes prior so I have a good understanding of how to control and not control dogs to the best of my ability and theirs. Because I am at school for the year and my dogs are at my home with my family I will give my all to treat your dogs how I treat my own. I work part time currently so I have a ton of time to take care of your pup. House sitting, walks, check ins, you name it! I care with everything I can. I treat the dog as if it is my own and care unconditionally for the sweet little pup! :)

About: Hi, I’m Kris! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have two years of professional experience working in a busy doggy daycare, where I was responsible for safely supervising and caring for up to 20 dogs at a time. That experience taught me how to read canine body language, manage group play, administer medications, maintain proper cleaning and disinfection protocols, and provide a safe, low-stress environment for every dog in my care. I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes, including puppies, senior dogs, reactive dogs, and pets with behavioral challenges or special medical needs. I’ve also fostered dogs in my home, which has given me additional experience helping nervous or transitioning pets feel safe and comfortable. At home, I’m a proud pet parent to three dogs and a cat, so I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family members. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking buddy, a patient companion, medication, or simply lots of love and attention while you’re away, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. My goal is simple: to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and happy every step of the way. I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! et care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already structure my day around consistency and animal care. I have experience managing multiple pets at once, so I’m used to building my schedule around feeding times, litter box maintenance, play sessions, and check-ins. I’m typically available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, which allows me to provide reliable drop-in visits and maintain a steady routine for each pet I care for. I’m comfortable incorporating visits into my day-to-day activities, and I plan my time so pets always get full attention without feeling rushed. Because I’ve worked in structured animal care settings and have fostered pets in my home, staying on top of routines like feeding, cleaning, medication, and companionship is second nature to me. Caring for animals isn’t something I “fit in”—it’s something I naturally organize my day around I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in every pet care visit. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. I’m careful with home entry and follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication routines, and any house rules. I keep doors secured during visits, monitor pets closely during interactions, and make sure their environment stays clean, comfortable, and safe at all times. Building trust with both pets and owners is important to me. I approach each animal with patience and respect, especially shy, senior, or anxious pets, and I always move at their comfort level. My goal is to create a safe, consistent experience so pets feel secure while you’re away and you feel

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was little, and there has always been a dog in my family. Last October, I unfortunately had to put down my dog of 14 years. She was my best friend, and I miss her dearly. Since I’m not quite ready to have another full-time dog, I felt that caring for other people’s dogs would be the perfect way for me to still spend time with them. I’ve always enjoyed going on walks, visiting parks, or simply spending time outside with dogs. I truly believe dogs have such short lives, and they deserve to be loved, spoiled, and cared for every single day. Watching a dog fits naturally into my daily schedule because I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I’m already used to planning my day around walks, feeding times, playtime, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Whether it’s going for walks, spending time outside, or simply giving them attention and companionship, I enjoy making dogs part of my routine. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I make sure they receive plenty of love, patience, and care throughout the day. I provide a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment for every dog in my care. I have a fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play, explore, and enjoy time outside. I understand how important trust is when leaving a pet with someone, and I treat every dog like family by making sure they feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for at all times.

About: I have loved and cared for multiple pets throughout the years- all with different purrsonalities, ages, and likes. I currently own 6 cats; but only two of my babies live with me the other four have been kidnapped by their grandparents. Most of my cats all love to cuddle and some of them even play fetch. When I have brought other pets home to watch and play with, my cats are always welcoming and I enjoy learning and experiencing every pets different personality. I currently work 3 12s as a nurse, but the other four days of my week I am usually home at least 8 hours during the day. I always get up two hours before work and I feed, play with, and cuddles me cats for at least an hour because they put me in a happy mood to start my day. When I get back from work I spend about an hour to two with them before I fall asleep. On my off days I am usually home and will spend time and play with my cats whenever they want to. It just depends on if they want to sleep, cuddle, or play. I have a two bedroom townhome with just myself and my two cats in. My cats are allowed anywhere throughout my home and are usually found either sleeping in my bed or on my couch basking in the sunlight and staring out the window. I feed my cats twice a day- once in the morning and at night. Sometimes they’ll get a snack mid day and they receive treats sometimes when they are extra cute. I also clean their litter box every morning so it smells good and they feel good about going to the bathroom in their box. If I go somewhere to care for another persons pet I will feed them based off the owners schedule and will clean their litter box as often as needed, usually once a day. I will also play with them and show them as much or little attention as they want.

About: From the time I was a child, my heart has always belonged to animals. Whether it was rescuing injured birds, feeding stray cats, or gently caring for lost pets until they found their way back home, I’ve always felt like their protector. My compassion has always shined through very instinctively to understand their needs and see their worth, no matter how small. Over the years, that love for them has only deepened turning simple acts of kindness into a lifelong devotion to giving animals safety, comfort, and love. Caring for animals has always been my greatest passion, and has always felt like my calling in life. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities while they are in my home. I provide a calm, clean, and pet friendly environment where animals are always supervised, treated with care, and made to feel right at home. I follow any routines, feeding instructions, and special needs you share. I am attentive to each pet’s unique personality and comfort level. With a secure space, lots of love, and close attention, you can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, protected, and always well cared for while you’re away! Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine, not something I squeeze in around other commitments. I plan my schedule around feeding times, play, exercise, litter or potty breaks, and quiet companionship so each pet receives consistent, attentive care. Because caring for animals is part of my regular routine, I’m able to provide dependable supervision, follow established schedules, and respond quickly to pets needs. This steady presence helps pets feel comfortable, secure, and relaxed while they are in my care. I care for pets with patience, consistency, and close attention, whether they are staying in my home or I am caring for them in yours. In my home, pets are welcomed into a safe, clean, and calm environment where they are supervised, kept comfortable, and treated like family. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines closely to help pets feel secure and stress free. I respect each pet’s unique needs, personality, and preferences, and I communicate with owners to ensure peace of mind. My goal is always to provide dependable, loving care so pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for wherever they are.

I contacted Makenna because I saw she would run with a dog, which is exactly what I was looking for, for my Border Collie. She has exceeded my expectations, and my dog loves her. My dog sometimes wants to stretch her legs outside of my yard, and only slows down when a scent draws her attention. I am glad I found Makenna.

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.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
