“Frankie was in great hands! We needed a last-minute sitter for a 3-day stay at our house, and she was wonderful. She kept us updated while we were away, which gave us a lot of peace of mind, and it was clear Frankie was well cared for and comfortable. We came home to a happy dog, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.”

About: I’ve been house and dog sitting since I was 12 years old, so caring for animals is second nature to me. Growing up, I’ve had my own dog (and she is a diva) and three birds, so I’m super comfortable managing different animal personalities, daily routines, and dietary needs. I have also had 2 cats that I have shared with roommates! The biggest thing that sets me apart is my schedule. Because I study from home, I have a very minimal, flexible weekly routine. That means I would not just dropping by for a quick check-in, I can actually hang out at your house for long stretches or stay the entire day without having to leave. If your pet gets lonely, has separation anxiety, or just loves having a human around 24/7 to cuddle and keep them company, I’m your person! I am able to stay at your house however much you need me there from Thursday nights-Monday nights Sundays: completely available for 24/7 care Mondays: completely available for 24/7 care Tuesdays: available to check on animals before 8am and after 4pm Wednesdays: available to check on animals before 8am and after 4pm Thursdays: available to check on animals before 8am and after 7pm Fridays: completely available for 24/7 care Saturdays: completely available for 24/7 care I will request you give me guidelines of what times you animal eats, much much the animal eats, and how often they tend to go outside/to the litter box. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as regular as possible so your pet is happy, healthy, and ready for you to come home ☺️

“Liz was great! She was quick to respond to messages and it was amazing that she was able to dog sit on such short notice! She came over the day before to meet Maverick and he liked her immediately! I will definitely be rebooking with Liz should the need arise.”

“Kara did a wonderful job watching our dog Luna in our home while we were out of town. She was very responsive, sending us daily updates and photos which we loved! And she went above and beyond to make Luna feel comfortable during some over night storms that came through. We will definitely be hiring her again in the future!”

About: Taking care of animals was the first responsibility my siblings and I were raised on. I have had all different species and breeds of pets since before I can remember and I have been a huge animal lover my whole life. I live on a farm with several large animals and always happy cats and dogs around the house. I am an animal science major at KSU working towards a career dealing with behavioral studies for companion animals. I work in a dog daycare and boarding facility and have volunteered training foster dogs for adoption. I love every shape and size of critter!:) I do have a full time position with a flexible mid day break to travel in Otoe county, available for morning, evening and night check-in’s throughout the week. Available all day on weekends! I am willing to follow any directions given to help make your fur baby as comfortable as possible while under my care! I strive to make a connection with every animal I work with!

About: I have always had dogs. I have trained dogs for years, including hunting dogs. I have helped others with their animals throughout the years as well. I also take care of a farm and their animals from time to time just north of Omaha she would be a reference. I work remotely, so I’m home all the time unless I need to run a quick errand. There is direct access into my apartment, so no need to go through hallways. I will treat them like they’re my own and we walked every day. I have a park here. I also live right next to Lake Zirinsky so taking a walk at the park is easy.

FAQs for House Sitting - Percival

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 198 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Percival. 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 Percival 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 Percival 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 Percival 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 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 Meet & Greet .

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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 sitter.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
