“Cody is very reliable and has been able to drop in to be with Cookie with only short notice. I have not had to worry about my dog while making frequent trips to be with a loved one who is very ill.”


About: I have always had pets in my life. I was raised with dogs and cats, and I currently have 1 dog and 3 cats! I was a Foster Parent for Underdogs Rescue from 2016-2021 and specialized in medically fragile and behaviorally challenged dogs. I moved to Omaha from Denver and had to take a hiatus from Rover to move and settle. My services are dog walking, check ins, and house sitting. I have boarded dogs before (as you can see from my reviews) but have decided not to do this again to offer stability for my cats. I love sending photos of pets when they’re in my care. Please check out my photos and see how the pets become my family! I always appreciate a list of do’s and don’ts, reminders, emergency contacts, etc. There is no such thing as too much communication for me. I am very good at multi-tasking and prioritizing. My work is very flexible and I am able to maintain consistency with offering support to pets in other's environment. I treat other's pets like they were my own. I love them all and will treat them with respect and kindness. I love taking pictures and keeping parent's apprised of how they are doing in my care.

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: My name is Claire and I am a PA student at Creighton University! I am 26 and moved from Steamboat Springs, CO where I watched many furry friends through Rover and absolutely loved doing it! I am originally from Chicago and love doing anything outdoors such as skiing and running, but also love ending the day nice and cozy watching a movie or reading a book. More importantly, I love dogs of all ages and would love to care for your awesome dog! I had a labradoodle for 15 years growing up whom I adored and sadly cannot have a dog of my own at this stage of my life, but am looking for a buddy to care for to get my fix! I am responsible, organized, and easy going. I will provide very good care of your pet and give lots of pets, walks/runs, and love! I am free to answer all questions about scheduling and flexibility. I hope to hear from you soon! Your dog needs a good buddy while you are away and I really hope that person is me! I am a full time student in Omaha, but have lots of breaks throughout the day to give your pet lots of love! While school will be hectic, you can be assured that I will take your pet on a lot of exercise when I am home (If they are up for it) as it is a great break for me in my studies. I will feed, walk, and play with your pets! I love animals and live in a pet-friendly area where I have easy access to walking/running trails.

“Needed Lacey in a pinch/last minute and she was right there when we needed her! Appreciated her flexibility and willingness to help us in a time of need. If that wasn’t enough, she was SO good with our puppy with minimal guidance beforehand. We will definitely be rebooking with Lacey again-Highly recommend!”


“My fur baby loved Rachel! I had her come do drop ins at my house while I was on vacation. She sent me lots of pics and videos while I was away & she took care of locking my house back up and kept everything just how I left it. Definitely recommend! It’s hard to trust a stranger with your pet(s) but I will definitely be booking Rachel again.”


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: Need a great dog sitter or dog walker? Look no further! Send me a message :). I’m willing to do long or short term dog sits in the comfort of your dog’s home. I’ve previously volunteered at animal rescue sanctuaries in Hawaii and Ireland because I really have a passion for animals. I’ve taken care of dogs since I was about 5 years old. My grandma raised dogs so I happily helped out all the time and quickly grew to passionately love dogs. I began my own dog grooming business which I did for a few years, and after that, I dog sat for friends and family. Recently I helped watch a farmers dogs for a month which included walking the 5 of them, feeding them, bathing them, and watering them. I dog sat two French Bulldogs for 2 weeks, everything went great and they loved their walks to the beach and bath time. I also dog sat a dog for a month and everything went great, I’m happy to give you any contact numbers if you’d like to speak with any previous people I’ve dog sat for. I’m very responsible and pay attention to detail to ensure your dog is safe and happy in my care. Send me a message to talk about time/dates but I am pretty flexible :). I am not in school so I’ll have plenty of free time to spend with your dog/cat! What better job than playing with dogs/cats. In my clients home I will be considerate and follow your rules and preferences. I will keep the place tidy and clean and put things back where I found them, such as leash etc.

Ashley W.
“Ashley is awesome. I have a very anxious German Shepherd that doesn't like to be alone or away from his family. Ashley went above and beyond my expectations and we use her every time. Not only did she let him out but she sat on the floor with him, threw his rope, and sent us plenty of pictures. I would definitely recommend her.”
