“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: My roommate has worked in vetcare for over 2 years and has taught me a lot of extra skills for taking care of pets. My grandparents had an Old Golden Retriever, a Border Collie, and a Young Labrador Retriever, so I can handle LOTS of energy, or provide an environment for gentle exercise. I'm working towards becoming qualified to train service dogs! I also grew up with 2 cats, and now have 3! So I know how to recognize and respect a pet's boundaries while encouraging a healthy level of play. I have never lived anywhere without a pet, and would never want to! I'm currently working a Part-Time Job, but will have and/or make time for your pets. Any day, and anytime between 8am and 12am, I can find availability. I have a roommate to help take care of our cats while I'm out which is what gives me the time to take care of your pets! I have dog clothes and cat clothes, allergies will not be an issue for you, your pets, or myself. I have a basic and growing understanding of simple dog training as I progress towards my goal. I am also proficient in teaching cats to start or (if they're willing) stop doing things.
“Erika was wonderful!! She accommodated all of our needs when we were out of town and kept us updated with pictures and notes throughout her stay!! We feel so comfortable that our cats are in good hands with her!”

About: I view each dog as a unique individual that needs love and care based on their needs and personality. I understand that some dogs need to be tired out in order to relax and some would just prefer belly rubs on the couch for hours. I love spending time outside and going to the gym so I would love to take your pup on a long walk to get their energy out if that's something they need! I do have experience caring for elderly and handicapped dogs as well and I know they require lots of love and patience. I really value the safety of your pet and home as my first priority so anything I can do to accommodate you and your dogs needs I am more than happy to do so. I like to send photo updates to keep you in the loop and will always defer to your preferences and instructions when caring for your pup. I started petsitting when I graduated high school because I wanted to spend more time with animals and I've been able to meet so many amazing people, and even more amazing dogs ;) over the years. I now have 8 years of experience petsitting, from drop in visits/walks, as well as extended stays in homes caring for multiple high energy or handicapped dogs at once. I'm usually the go-to person for my friends and family to take care of their pets since they know I'm always eager to spend more time with animals. Please reach out for any questions!! I work a Monday to Friday 9-5 job, and am very blessed to have a flexible job where I can leave during lunch and or in the afternoon again if need be. For drop in visits/walks I am available during lunchtime, or after 5pm. If I am staying in-home while you are gone I will swing by over lunch to spend time with your pup, take them outside, etc. If they require more times to be let outside I am typically able to leave another time during the day so they have two breaks during the 8am to 5pm timeframe. I am happy to discuss logistics and accommodate to you and your pups needs! While I staying in your home, or if I am just dropping by to take your pup on a quick walk, I am very conscious of safety and privacy. I understand it takes a level of trust to allow someone in your home when you are gone and am especially aware of locking doors behind me when coming and going, as well as respecting your privacy. I air on the side of caution and will always reach out to you directly if any issues were to ever arise!
About: I have many years of experience walking dogs and caring for dogs. I have cared for senior pets, including giving medication and using items such as diapers. I have also cared for animals such as reptiles. I am a full time teacher, so early mornings and afternoons into evenings are my most free times to hang out with furry friends. Summers and holidays are mostly free! I am familiar with crating animals and using gates within homes. I am comfortable taking dogs out with leashes. I am able to keep pets separated if need be.
About: We have love and snuggles to offer your fur baby while you are away. We have a large fenced in yard, with plenty of room for zoomies. A large couch for all the snuggles. Young, old, big, small, we love them all. We are foster parents for tiny humans. Amanda works out of the home, but Rae is a stay at home mama and is almost always available for pick up/drop off, potty breaks, check ins, daycare, etc. Your fur babies will enjoy the quiet house during the day and love and attention in the evening and weekends when the kids are home. We have two orange tabby's who run and hide or are all up in your business. Cats have their own agenda! We currently have two daycare dogs that come during the day. Brooks is a sharpa lab mix, he gets really excited and the sharpa nose comes out. He calms down within 5-10 minutes and then is an old man on the couch. Penny is a black lab and is super chill. Both dogs have always done great with any other dogs and cats that come into the home. My 14 year old daughter wants to be a Vet someday, so she enjoys making new fur friends. We also have a 4 year old girl who is very gentle with her fur friends, and a couple other littles that enjoy a kiss every now and then. We have a fenced in yard, large, and lots of room for the zoomies. We have 2 cats in the home. Let us know your fur babies needs, and we will make sure we are the right fit for them.
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 ☺️
About: I have grown up with dogs being a part of our family and a huge source of joy in my life! I have been caring for dogs through being a dog nanny at a doggy daycare and walking other people's dogs since I was young. Not only am I experienced with caring for puppies and older dogs, but my dad was also a professional dog trainer who has passed along some of his expertise. Some say "stop and smell the roses," while I have always been the one to "stop and show the pup some love" (: I am currently waiting to begin a job, so I have a very free schedule during weekdays to come and walk, play, or care for your pup I can provide any service for your pup in your home, just provide me with instructions and I will be able to accommodate your pup's needs!

About: I’ve always had at least one animal since i was a child, I’ve worked as a kennel tech and I’ve been to vet school! I have a couple cats and a dog, they are my WORLD!! My dog had a bad life before I adopted him, and I completely trained him myself with very little help. He is a perfect, well behaved angel now! My schedule is pretty open! I am a stay at home wife and I’m in school, so I have plenty of time on my hands to care for your pets! I am thoroughly knowledgeable on all things dog safety related, my pooch has had a rough go at it so I’ve take courses on animal CPR, de-escalation training, and I am familiar with taking care of animals with health issues. Every pet is different and they all need varying levels of care and comfort requirements.
“Allisyn has been an amazing and consistent dog sitter for us! She always goes above and beyond, and we feel completely comfortable knowing our dog is in such good hands with her. It’s obvious how much she genuinely cares for our dog, and we truly feel like she loves her as much as we do. We couldn’t recommend Allisyn enough! We are so thankful for her!”

About: I grew up with many pets around me and have come to enjoy the company of those companions. Although, I cant own my own pet baby at the moment, I am more excited to give that love to the ones I watch! I have an open schedule on days that aren’t Tuesdays and Thursdays but I am willing to work around those times and provide the best care needed for your pet. I don’t have any pets in my home at the moment but I will make sure to show extreme care towards your pets from the beginning to the end of service.
“Linda provided excellent care for my cat while I was away and was very good about sending photos and videos. I will definitely hire Linda again to check in on my cat.”

About: I've house sat and pet sat for family and friends since my youth as favors. Most pets tend to warm to me fairly quickly and let me carry them or pet them on the first meeting. My professional career is focused in child care and development. I've worked with 5-18 years old in various positions. My last position was teaching and caring for teenage youth, who were transitioning from incarceration to their parent's home, at a group home. I am used to dealing with crisis under pressure with a calm demeanor and resolving it to the best of my ability. I am CPR and First Aid trained and certified in non-violent crisis management. I am currently available for all the services I specified in my profile Monday through Friday from as early as 10 am - 7 pm. I am also available for overnight house sitting jobs. While house sitting, I take safety/health of the pets and security of the surrounding area as the #1 priority. When I took care of my pets and others i. My own space, I'd block off any areas in the home that could be damaged or cause injury, if a pet got into it. I always made sure to engage with the pets I cared for, whether, playing fetch or running around with them. I made sure they expended that seemingly bottomless tank of energy.
“Mckenna was so great with our dog! She took extra steps to make sure our dog was comfortable and happy while we were gone. We will definitely be using her services again next time we go out of town! Highly recommend her!”

“Wonderful experience for our Vizlsa - I can tell she was well taken care of while we were gone. Looking forward to using Zianna again (and again and again). House was also left in great shape. Thank you again!”

“Lizeth has been so wonderful with our Cassie, who’s kind of high energy and stubbornness. She’s also very affectionate with regular people in her life, and she’s missing Lizeth. We hope if we need a sitter again and Lizeth is unavailable, we can someone who’s as good with our Cassie 💕”

About: I have dog sat, house sat and worked at a doggy daycare for all types of dogs! My parents have three big dogs as well. I am currently a full time student but I will try and be available every afternoon/night. I am also available some mornings and every weekend. I can easily food, water, walk and crate dogs. My Parents have three dogs over 50 lbs. I can also happily cuddle with the fur babies.

Jason is great! He dropped in to meet the new pup and spend time with our family. He’s punctual, he asks questions about how the new pup is getting along and how the pack is integrating, and he enjoys spending time with our fur babies. Thank you, Jason! We appreciate you being a part of our family and spending time with us.

Elizabeth was a wonderful pet sitter. This was my first time using Rover, and she put me at ease with her excellent communication, and punctuality. She followed directions, sent updates and pictures, and my puppy loved her right away. I recommend Elizabeth, and plan to use her again in the near future. Excellent first impression!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Ralston is $14 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $7 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,042 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Ralston. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. 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.
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.
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.
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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Ralston with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
