“I have been using Andrea and Edwin for awhile now and they are so wonderful to work with. I usually request them when I have to have my boyfriend’s dog with me for extended days, but they are still sending me pictures of my cat who wasn’t part of the request. They are efficient in communication and flexible in timing and if something comes up. Highly recommend them for your pet needs!”

I follow any specific instructions you provide, ensuring routines stay consistent and familiar. I keep the environment calm and secure, ensuring doors and windows are closed and pets are safely contained.

Trust is key, so I make sure to always communicate and provide updates so you can feel at ease while you're away!

About: First time bookings: use this promo for $20 off! TAWNAL61726 When I was in elementary school my sister and I started a dog walking business for fun in the summer and it snowballed from there. Since then I’ve been pet sitting for several families. When I was in high school I interned at a veterinary clinic and also trained my parents black lab to do dog therapy at our local nursing home. I went to college to be a Veterinarian but decided to work with cancer patients instead. My love for animals never went away and I absolutely love caring for and being around them. I am an active person outside of work so I love walks with my dog whenever we can squeeze one in, usually in the morning. On the weekends we like to go on hikes when it’s nice but never mind a lazy snow day at home either. I prefer all of our dog’s appointments to be in the morning so we can get a pup cut or treat after. My schedule is flexible outside of work so I will adjust accordingly to each pet I’m sitting. When I care for pets I treat them how I would want someone to treat my fur baby. In a new environment they usually aren’t as comfortable so doing everything I can to make them feel at home is my priority. In a clients home, I treat their belongings with respect as well as their beloved pets. I am a very calm and mellow person so pets (especially dogs) seem to gravitate towards me for comfort.
About: I am capable of caring for dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. I have extensive experience caring for pets and ensuring they are happy and healthy. I work from home so I am available on a daily basis. I also provide enrichment activities that prevent boredom and build confidence in your pet! I have a large fenced in yard for potty breaks and playtime. I am able to provide quality and consistent care for your pet in my home.

About: I grew up with a family dog, so caring for pets has always been a normal part of my daily life. From a young age I helped with feeding, walking, grooming, and making sure our dog stayed active and well cared for. Over the years I have also dog sat for friends and people in my community, helping with things like walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and making sure dogs feel comfortable while their owners are away. Because of this experience, I’m comfortable with dogs’ routines and understand how important it is to give them attention, patience, and reliable care. I’m currently a student with a fairly light schedule, which allows me to be flexible and available for pet care. I also work a PRN job, so my hours can vary, but it gives me the ability to take on pet sitting and dog care throughout the week. I’m responsible, dependable, and enjoy spending time with animals, so providing attentive care and making sure pets feel comfortable and safe is important to me. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and reduce stress while their owner is away. This includes feeding them on their usual schedule, making sure they have fresh water, providing walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also keep their living area clean and make sure they get the exercise and care they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect the space and follow any specific instructions the owner provides. My goal is to make sure pets feel safe, cared for, and relaxed while maintaining the routine they’re used to.
About: Even in childhood, I've loved animals. I decided when I was very young that I wanted to make a career out of rescuing abused, disabled, and neglected animals who need help; I still think about this dream today, at 20 years old. For all my life, I've had a dog, cat, or critter to come home to. I'm willing and able to go on walks, though prefer not to walk too much on days above 90 degrees Fahrenheit or below 30. As far as I'm concerned, I'm willing and able to do anything your animal may need. I care about every animal companion, and will do my best to make their lives as enjoyable as possible. I would even be willing to try caring for an animal that may act somewhat aggressive, as long as they don't have a history of serious injuries, seeing as I'm not trained to defuse an attitude such as that yet. I am also, of course, willing to care for your home through small time chores as long as I am there. Right now, I'm a sandwich slinger at Subway. Usually I only get morning shifts which are 3 hours on average, 6 hours tops. I would let you know if I'm going to be away for longer! Otherwise, I try not to leave my wards for more than 4-5 hours just out of caution. I generally prefer to petsit outside my home, since our pets aren't always awesome with new friends... but I'm always willing to come to your place, granted we (of course) meet beforehand so I can get a lay of the land and your pets can assess me. I will do my best to keep routines just the same for your pet, as well as ensure that the house is NOT messed up. I will keep in touch with you with pictures and updates! (Unless you don't need that, of course!)

“Having Roger stop by to give Smudge a break was a great decision! He was very willing to meet up beforehand to make sure it would be a good fit. I appreciated his details in letting me know how things went. I will definitely be using his excellent service again! It puts my mind at peace to know my pup can get out on a nice day.”
About: Hello my name is Kirstin. I currently live in Lincoln NE. I have always loved animals no matter the species. I had previously work at a veterinarian office, as a kennel attendant and receptionist, so I'm not afraid of giving medication. I love to learn about new animals and any fun facts about them. I am also able and comfortable to give medication. I currently volunteer at what is called The Cat House. So I love caring for animals. I have been pet sitting for around 4 years for cats and dogs, but I'm willing to learn what it takes for other animals. I am comfortable with small and large animals and even ones that might be aggressive. I know that if an animal attacks me there was probably something I did to agitate them it usually is never the animal's fault. I currently work part-time, anywhere from 1:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. weekdays, 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. all week, or 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Saturdays. All of this does depend on my part-time scheduling. If you have any questions on how I will care for your pet, don't hesitate to shoot me a question. I usually watch the dogs when I let them out into the yard unless the owner has stated otherwise. I carefully measure out the food given. Depending on the weather and usually will wipe dogs paws when they come inside. For any pets that require it, I always make sure to play with them to get physical energy out and to give them mental stimulation.
“Hailee was a Godsend!! Absolutely worthy 5 stars! It was our first time using Rover and I couldn’t be more happy with her service! Thanks so much! And we will certainly be booking with you again!”

About: Having grown up on a farm, I'm not only familiar with household pets but also with livestock and other animals. Beyond my upbringing, I have extensively provided pet sitting and dog walking services in Lincoln over the last few years. In addition, I volunteer as a dog walker at the Capitol Humane Society, further deepening my experience with a variety of dogs. My deep-rooted passion for animals and their well-being sets me apart from others. Working from home grants me a very flexible schedule, allowing me to adjust and cater to the specific needs of your pets. Whether it's a last-minute walk or an extended pet-sitting engagement, I can typically accommodate. Safety and trust are paramount to me. Having managed a variety of animals, I understand the nuances and unique requirements each animal might have. Rest assured, your pet will be in a safe and nurturing environment under my care.
Porter Ridge dog parents share their Rover experiences
We couldn’t ask for a better dog walker than Jamie. The dogs love her, and she treats them like her own. She’s reliable, communicative, and incredibly kind. When I travel, it means the world to know she’s helping my mom with the dogs. That kind of support is priceless. Highly recommend.

This girl is amazing. Great communication... Flexible with times. My Dharma absolutely loves her. Waits at the door for her to arrive. If you need a dog walker ... This is your person. I would also trust her with sitting though I havent had the need to use her yet in that category. You won't go wrong with Jennifer.
