About: I grew up surrounded by cats and dogs. I even took care of my senior childhood dog. I now have two dachshunds of my own. I also did some cat and dog sitting in high school. I love to go on walks and am looking forward to meeting new pet friends! I am currently working at Target as many hours as I can. My schedule is inconsistent and changes week from week. However, I’m willing to work around my work schedule to book with pets! I can take dogs out as much as needed, feed them, take them on walks, and play with them! Every pet is different! I will tend to their needs.
“Jennifer has been so wonderful with my little dog. She mainly does stop-bys and walks w/him, and has done some daycare. I have been impressed with all of it! Highly recommend her services.”
“Bekah was amazing!! This was my first time using Rover and I will definitely be back! Bekah consistently checked in, gave extensive reports for every visit, a MINIMUM of 35 pictures per visit. By the end it felt like I left my fur baby with a family member. Immediately after the 1st visit ended and I got the report, I could see Bekah was going above and beyond. And the security of knowing my fur baby was in such great hands as I'm flying halfway across the country? Priceless ?✨️”
“Amanda is the best!! She has done drop in visits, walks, and house sat for us. She is very reliable, flexible, and kind. My dogs love her and she handles all 3 of them like a pro!”
“Mary was great it was our first time using rover and she updated greatly the kitties were comfortable with her at the meet and greet and the care visits.We thank you Mary and look forward to your care for them again ❤️”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have always been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, breeds, energy levels, and personalities, whether they love long walks, playtime, or curling up for some extra attention. Also I have had many reptiles so am very comfortable with the unique care that is needed. I am very comfortable feeding snakes, and lizards of all kind! As a full-time student, my schedule is very flexible, which gives me plenty of time to care for your pets! I’m available throughout the week and can easily work around your pet’s normal routine, whether they need walks, drop-ins, playtime, or some extra company. I know every pet has their own routine, personality, and comfort level, so I’ll always follow your care instructions closely. Whether I’m stopping by for a walk or spending more time with your pet, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Kendyll was absolutely amazing! She was very responsive, took the time to win over our shy kitty, and overall just went above and beyond. It gave me great peace of mind to know Kendyll was dropping in to check on things.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets for 10+ years, from cats to giant dogs. I have two dogs of my own, and have had cats in the past, so I understand the individual needs of each animal. Senior dogs have a special place in my heart. I’m currently working part time, 3 days a week! My schedule changes week to week, but I am open and flexible to changing my schedule! I can easily crate or move your dogs if I need to! I am eager to earn their trust and am willing to bribe them with treats. I understand each pet has different needs and I am adaptable to them!
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, and I love getting to know each dog’s personality and what makes them unique. I also have experience working on basic training, including leash manners and commands like sit, heel, and wait. I’m not just there to check in and leave, I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and helping them have a fun, positive experience. Just a college girl side-hustling by doing something I genuinely love! I’m a full-time student at UNO, but with classes only two days a week, my schedule gives me plenty of flexibility to care for pets! I’m also taking a walking/jogging class this semester, so getting outside for walks is already part of my routine. It works out perfectly because I get to stay active, and your pup gets a fun walk and some extra attention! I treat every dog like they’re my own! I know how important it is for your furry friend to stay active, happy, and entertained, so I make sure every walk and visit is filled with plenty of attention and love. I’ll take the time to get to know your dog’s personality and needs so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. My goal is for every pup to come home happy, tired, and feeling extra loved!
About: I have cared for dogs of various breeds for more than a decade. Our family has always included our little four legged friends as well! Neighbors, friends, family and co-workers have trusted me to walk, feed and love their fur babies just like my own. ❤️ My small, female, Jack Russell mix (Lucy) will make a great companion for your pet during our time together! For house sitting, I need to bring Lucy with me, so please only send requests if you are okay with that. Lucy is spayed, potty trained and very well behaved. ***ALLERGIC TO CATS*** During the week, I work outside of the home, but make time to care for your pet in the morning, over lunch and during the evening. My goal is to ensure your pet is happy, healthy and spoiled with love when they are with me! Tips for my services are always welcome! I can easily meet your expectations as long as you communicate your preferences. You can expect your pet to be leashed at all times while outside the home.
About: Having a border collie as a family dog, I’m very knowledgeable in the importance of enrichment for certain breeds. Having just lost our family dog, I know very well the impact our pets have, they’re family and not just pets. I am currently self employed as an licensed esthetician and nail technician. I can make time when needed almost always. Let me know what you need and I'll be happy to deliver! I am very familiar with kenneling, big on environmental safety checks, as we know it only takes a few seconds or a minute for something to go unseen!
“Bailey was an amazing dog sitter! She was very communicative and kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. My doggos were clearly well taken care of and happy. I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to her again in the future!”
About: I've grown up with always more than one animal in the household, and loving them is second nature. When my family and friends need someone to help take care of the pets, I am always the first option! I have taken care if lots of cats and dogs, but a few fish throughout the years too. I have experience not only with general pet care such as, feeding, walking, playing/enrichment, but also with giving medications. Some dog breeds I have worked with (or lived with) are German Shepards, Yellow Labs, and mutts that are a mix of medium/bigger dogs or small dachshund mixes. And a lot of different cat personalities! The distant and quiet ones who keep to themselves and the ones who need your attention the second you walk through your door! Either way, I have always loved them no matter what, and continue to love them still. I am about to start a part-time job that has me working either from 10-3 or 11-4. I am always willing to wake up early or stay up late because I have the late start time of the work! In my home, my cat never has a missed meal, he has clean and running water 24/7, and a handful of toys available for enrichment! A handheld laser always nearby for sudden play time is anecessity! As for my client's pets, I will always follow instructions step by step and detail by detail, no matter if feeding times includes something silly to get the fur baby to actually eat their food, I will always do it! And I am not the kind of person to just stop in, do what I need to do, and leave. I will make sure the pet is well loved and knows that I am there for them.
About: Animals happiness is a fundamental principle that I feel strongly about. This made growing up with and caring for all animals my favorite part of each day! I would love to give your pet you call family a break from their long days of sleeping in. My experience includes living with and pet sitting for dogs of all ages and sizes. Before becoming a pet sitter, I had only owned a cat, but have experienced the joys of all cats personality’s. I’m currently a sophomore in college and have a professional level of experience scheduling around my classes and previously a demanding sport. A part time, high activity, and flexible routine is my cup of tea! My most convenient times are early afternoons and whenever works best for you. I have well rounded experience in feeding pets, cleaning their toilet activities, and taking them on walks and runs. I currently call a black cat, jack Russell terroir, Weimaraner, and chickens my family!
About: Trust that your fur baby will be taken care of as if they were my own. Possibility of becoming more spoiled. I can accommodate any specific needs including treats, toys, affection and attention. I am available weekdays early morning 6am-4pm and can adjust accordingly afterwards if needed. Weekends I am available early mornings and late evenings. Nothing past 11pm. I would always come to your home so that your fur baby is most comfortable and accommodate any specific needs. Incorporating outings and walks as well.
“Eli was right on time. Very professional and attentive to my cat Ninja. I'm looking forward to them becoming more familiar with each other. Eli was very polite, pleasant and easy to talk to. I would definitely recommend Eli for your pet's needs.”

Jason continues to drop in to meet our current pups and learn their routine, and he makes us feel comfortable that the pups will enjoy their new sitter and we found a good sitter match for us! We appreciate his willingness to be a part of raising our new puppy and we look forward to booking Jason for drop ins, some short overnight housesittings, and we feel comfortable knowing he’ll take good care of all of our fur babies. Thanks, Jason!
Megan is amazing ! So sad to say this is our last visit due to relocation. Megan was the first pet sitter we met off rover I was hesitant even getting the app but after meeting her she’s the only person we’ve trusted watching our pets when we go out of town ! She’s truly the best. She cares about the pets like there her own ! She’s easy to work with very accommodating and overall just a very down to earth person. We’re sad to see her go but I know she’s going to be great whoever gets to have her next !! HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this girl she deserves it ! Thanks for everything !!

If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Ralston 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!
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.

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 .
