“We are so thankful for Lance! Our flight was cancelled and we were delayed 18 hours -Lance did not hesitate to stay with our fur kids! Sending us pictures! They are Happy Dogs and we are happy fur-parents:)”


“Cody did an absolute fantastic job with my doodle and poodle! I was gone for a little over 8 days and Cody house/dog sat. Besides just dealing with my two very needy pups, he dealt with a mail issue, a nosy neighbor, lawn issues, a water leak, and my dog going into heat for the first time! He did this all with ease and kept me updated as necessary. I knew my pups were in great hands from the moment I met Cody, but definitely knew they were well taken care of as when I returned the pups were more just like, "O hey, it's mom", no big deal! lol I am so glad we met Cody and will 100% be using his services again in the future!”


“Linda is very responsible and kind to dogs. She tries hard to make an anxious dog comfortable and succeeded with mine. She tries to figure the pets out as to likes and quirks. I was especially thankful that Linda was home with my dog at the times he normally feels the most anxious. I highly recommend Linda.”



“Tracy was great as always. I have forgotten to review so many times. She's watched my pets many times over the years. She takes great care of them and leaves my home as she found it. I really appreciate her!”


“Kendra was fantastic! She was willing to help us out at the last minute and was awesome with our crazy crew of one (BIG) dog and two cats. We especially loved getting updates and pictures throughout the weekend we were gone. Thank you Kendra!!”


“Rachel was absolutely amazing! She communicated well and clearly cares for animals. My dogs provided multiple, unexpected challenges while we were out of town and Rachel handled them gracefully, made proactive changes for the rest of the trip, and just overall went above and beyond.”


About: I am an animal lover! I currently own two young vizslas and two adopted cats. I do live with my parents so my animals are well taken care when I take care of yours. I have had cats and dogs my entire life and I am almost 25 years old. I know how to feed and properly take care of any animal. I am willing to follow any directions and trust me no fur baby is too high maintenance. All fur babies are just our fur babies and I will treats yours like my own! I often give medicine too so no need to worry if your baby needs any medicine I can definitely handle that! Feel free to reach out and we can set up a meet and greet! I currently work from home and can work anywhere as long as I have Wi-Fi and luckily I have a mobile hotspot so I can work pretty much from anywhere and anytime if the day or night. I have plenty of time to care for your fur baby. Many times I will let you know when I am at your home and give you an update for each drop in visit. I will send pictures. I will also play fetch or other stimulating games that are available in the home or in the backyard. My focus is to let you know I’m in your home and when I leave. My other focus is let you see your dog/cat so you know they are being well taken care of. The third focus is making sure all requests are being filled such as feeding and medicine and others as requested.

About: I grew up in a small town with horses, dogs, and cats. I have been an animal lover since I was just a little girl. My Aunt had a kenneling facility that I helped with throughout the years and growing up. It was more like a little staycation for furry friends while families traveled for various reasons. Customers always came back relieved because they knew that their pets were in great hands. My responsibilities included keeping the living space sanitary and comfortable, feeding, watering, cleaning, exercising, and monitoring the animals' health and behavior, and obviously a lot of added love and play time! I dog sit for a few people (friends/family) here in and stay at their homes when they are gone and love it so much, I decided to check out Rover! I am hardworking, kind, compassionate, and trustworthy. Whether you kennel your dog or prefer not to I am your go-to girl when it comes to any of these needs! Recently moved back to Omaha and looking for a part time job! Book me today! I recently moved back to Omaha and am working part-time right now. My schedule is very flexible, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I do not board pets at my own home. However, I will care for your loved one/ones following your instructions, feeding, providing fresh water, exercising, administering medication if needed, and cleaning up after him/her. I will also maintain the home's cleanliness and security and keep you updated on your furry friend/friends' status.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. It never mattered if the dog was mine, some one else’s or a stray, I loved them all - and still do! I’m currently working full time as a teacher. Luckily my school is a 5 min drive from my home, so getting home quickly is a perk ☺️ I do not do any after school activities, therefore when it’s 3:10 pm I’m headed home! My weekends are usually free and any holiday I am free! Your dogs home away from home 🥰 I have a fenced in yard and 2 dogs of my own to play with yours! My home is set up to accommodate any dog needs whether it be food allergies, anxiety, training, medications etc.. I’m able to do it all for your pup(s)! If needed I can continue any training done at home. Due to having 2 herding dogs I have 5 years of experience training. Some of the skills worked on have been: basic commands, potty training - ring bell, crate training, redirection training and recall. One of my dogs has extreme anxiety which has allowed me to learn different ways to train him depending on circumstances. I have rooms and spaces set up in the home to allow the dogs to escape to when they are overwhelmed. While your pet stays with me their comfortability is my priority! When it comes to any type of animal I have endless love, patience, empathy and kindness 🖤

“Denise was absolutely amazing! By far the best person I've had watch my dog while out of town. She works from home so didn't have to leave much at all, she walked her daily for 30+ minutes, sent a picture or video & checked up on me to ensure I made it home okay. She even bought/replaced a couple of my light bulbs, lol! I will definitely be asking her first whenever going out of town. My dog & I absolutely loved her!”


“Tiffany and Brandon took care of our three dogs during our trip for 9 days/overnight house sitting care. We are super happy with the care they gave our pups!! One of our dogs takes daily meds, and both Tiffany and Brandon did a great job of giving us updates about her daily meds and ear drops. Tiffany would send me updates daily which eased our first trip away worries! The dogs were super comfortable and happy with their care! Also, they did a great job of taking care of our home while we were away! Would definitely recommend them and your pups will be in great hands!! ☺️”


“Our dog was well taken care of. He had great walks and was happy to be in his own home with a companion. Keion followed all of our instructions, stayed in communication and was respectful in his stay in our home. We would book him again!”


“We feel incredibly lucky to have found someone as kind, loving, and caring as Sadie to watch over Layla and Blue. From the moment we met her, it was easy to tell she was a genuinely kind person—warm, thoughtful, and quick to connect with both us and our pups. She immediately made us feel comfortable and at ease leaving our dogs in her care. She went above and beyond in every way, always flexible and gracious with any requests we had—including helping to water our garden and keeping an eye on the house. The thoughtful updates she sent were so reassuring, and Layla and Blue looked so incredibly happy and relaxed in every photo. We came home to two joyful pups and a thriving garden. Leaving your pets in someone else’s care is never easy, but Sadie made it feel completely natural. Her warmth, flexibility, and genuine love for animals are unmatched. We’re beyond grateful for her and couldn’t recommend her more highly!”


About: I love dogs cats, bunnies, birds and they love me! I am mostly available evenings and weekends! I am able to remain patient when your pet doesn't behave as expected, and stay calm so your pet doesn't feel and react to the anxiety. I am sensitive to and can recognize the needs of your pet and responds to them. You've probably worked hard to teach your pet the rules of the house. Make sure you let me know the rules! If you don’t allow your pooch to lie on the sofa or sleep in your bed, please notify me, I do not want to undo your training by bending the rules. I can be firm and consistent -- even if your pet gives me the begging puppy-dog-eyes! *alive* Im fully available and flexible to fit yours as yours furry babies needs. Please reach out and I'll be happy to accommodate to help ease your mind. I give my full attention and setup a routine that best aligns with the care needed. Please be open about yours and your pet needs!

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was about 15. I occasionally did pet sitting and dog walking for my neighbors when they needed extra help. In 2021, I got my first dog and learned much more, like grooming, potty training, and feeding. I found a passion for taking care of dogs and would like to continue! I am currently a student, so I have Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays free in the morning. I can also provide care at night until 10 p.m. My apartment complex has a fenced backyard. I also live by a park to walk dogs. Overall my neighborhood is very very calm and nice.

About: My grandma owns her own dog rescue and I am always helping out. I’ve always had a special place in my heart for animals. My family has 3 dogs and one cat and I was the one that took care of them most. Now that I’m on my own I have kittens which are very friendly with dogs. I am available whenever you need me! Mornings, afternoons, and evenings whatever you need I can do for you! I can stay overnight at your house! If there will be dogs I am able to take them out whenever they need but mostly make sure they go out every hour. I love being outdoors so going on walks is a plus.

About: I grew up with 2 dogs, a beagle and a German shepherd! I would dog sit for the neighbors golden retriever often and take care of my cousins yellow lab! I puppy sat for an Australian shepherd for 3 weeks last winter and have picked up various other dog sitting jobs with people I know. I love all animals! I work a regular 8-5 job and am willing to do walks before or after work. I can also house sit so dogs don’t feel lonely while their owners are away and have some there to take care of them at night and in the mornings. I would care for pets in a clients home by taking them for daily walks and playing with them in the yard. I would also feed them based on their daily feeding schedule and clean up after them. I like to say that dogs love me as much as I love them :)
