About: I I have experience pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors, caring for dogs and cats of different breeds and temperaments. My responsibilities have included daily walks, feeding, cleaning litter boxes, giving medications, and providing companionship. I understand how important routine and reassurance are when owners are away. I currently work from home. So my schedule is pretty flexible! Plenty of times to go on walks and playtime! With advanced notice I am very accommodating to meet your needs. I provide loving, reliable care whether pets stay in my home or I care for them in theirs. My top priorities are safety, trust, and maintaining a calm, comfortable environment. I always follow each pet’s routine closely — including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions — to help them feel secure and stress-free.
“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 had dogs all my life. Currently have a golden retriever that loves walks and all things outdoors! So can make sure your pup has a good time! I’m currently in school studying physical therapy at the college of Saint Mary’s. I have a flexible schedule so let’s chat and see what times work the best for me and your pup!! I prioritize safety and trust by following routines carefully, securing doors and leashes, maintaining a clean environment, and providing frequent updates so owners feel confident
About: I have been pet sitting a variety of animals since I was a young teen (cats, dogs, rabbits, fish, hamsters, rabbits, and lizards). I have experience administering medication to senior/ in need animals. In addition, I have trained my cats and dogs to be service animals. I’m currently in my senior year of graduate school for psychology. I am a full time student but have a flexible schedule. I am available on weekends (anytime), weekdays (after 4pm), and anytime on Tuesdays. While caring for pets, I treat them as if they are my own. I ensure that the environment they will be in is safe, enriching, and comfortable. While walking pets, I ensure that I have my full attention on them always (monitoring poops, urine activity/content, breathing patterns, energy level).
“Michaela was fabulous! She is a great communicator, had all the important questions ready to go at our meet and greet and was genuinely excited to meet Charlie and Ivy. I absolutely plan on asking Michaela to sit for us again!”
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!
“Bekah did a great job checking in on my dogs when we went out of town! Also she was very through and sent me pics of my pups which I appreciate! Would definitely recommend to others!!!”
About: Please read in entirety to help everyone find the best match for both our home and your pet(s). Disclosure - Things that are helpful for sitters/walkers/daycare providers Please complete your profile in entirety, including any and all pertinent information regarding your pet. Rover has an excellent platform for owners to detail care instructions and these profiles are very helpful in providing A+ service. I do not accept new clients who have not completed their pet care profiles, who have not provided veterinary contact information, and who are not able/willing to start the sitting/walking/daycare process with a brief meet and greet. It is also extremely important that you are open and honest about your dogs behavior and tendencies. It can be very stressful for a dog to stay in a different home with new, unfamiliar animals, and the more I know about your pet's needs and habits, the better we will be at providing excellent service. New clients will be carefully vetted so as to ensure I can care for your fur buddy to the best of my ability. My Experience I've had dogs my whole life, from backyard pets to sled dogs, to indoor cuddle buddies. Dogs get me, and I get them. I'll take care of your beloved family member and make sure to treat them like my own. Whether it be a daily walk, a brief play date, or an overnight, I can handle the nuances of the situation and the unique personality of your pooch! My Home and Neighborhood I live alone and will be the sole caretaker of your dog. I have a spacious home so if your pet needs his/her own space, I can accommodate. I also have a fenced in yard but will monitor all guests as I’ve learned that a fence won’t keep the curious ones in, no matter how high! And without any pets of my own at this time, your dog will have a quiet and stress free home to relax in. My neighborhood is very walkable with many parks just a few minutes away. Please let me know if there’s anything unique or special about your buddy and I’ll cater to his/her needs. All animals (humans included!) are unique and I’ll mold the experience to ensure that your family member feels as though he/she is at home. About Me I was born in the Omaha area but have lived in quite a few places in either the US or abroad. I’m a former Peace Corps Volunteer, and now work with youth in the juvenile justice system. I also coach distance runners in track and cross country. I have done a wonderful job of creating a healthy and happy home, both inviting and accommodating. I work daytime hours, 2 minutes from home and can check in with overnight guests regularly. I am almost always home in the evening and this will certainly be the case if I have overnight guests. Expectations I will welcome new animals into our home and treat them like family. With this intention, I do require your pet be current on vaccinations, housebroken, and friendly. I require a meet and greet so I can learn from you on how best to care for your pet. Lastly My intentions here on Rover isn’t to make money as much as it is to provide a meaningful service. I really do love animals and find them to be so enjoyable to be around. My goal is to care for your furry family member as if he/she were my own. I look forward to meeting the dog in your life and the opportunity to make a new furry friend! Feel free to reach out and we can arrange a meeting to see if we can work together! I look forward to hearing from you! I am currently working full time but have a flex schedule which allows me to spend time throughout the day at home with my guests. Your pet will not be alone for more than a few hours at at time during the weekdays and even less so during the weekends. I have a fenced in yard but always monitor new guest so as to ensure they are safe and secure. I’ve learned from the curious ones!
“Marc continues to provide excellent care and a good time for my dogs during their ‘play dates’ with him. They have fun and expend lots of excess energy! I know I can depend on Marc and best of all, that I can trust him with my pets.”
“Crystal was so wonderful! Very friendly, trustworthy, and accommodating. She looked after our cats while we were gone for over a week. She always sent pictures and gave us detailed updates on how they were doing. She even went out of her way to vacuum up their fur & litter. Crystal will definitely be out first-choice sitter in the area for future needs!”
“Thank you! Olivia was awesome, offered to do a meet and greet before and was great with communication. She took a pic of my pup, always appreciated and helped us out on short notice. Would book again!”
“Laura took great care of my cat riddle while I was away. She followed all feeding instructions, sent updates, and I came home to a happy, relaxed kitty. I’d definitely book with her again”
About: I got my first dog when I was 15 years old. I potty trained him myself, took him on multiple walks a day, and spoiled him rotten. He lived for 16 years. My future puppy is 3 weeks old and will be a service dog for me. I plan to train him myself with professional guidance and also get him certified as a therapy dog! My schedule is very flexible for the time being and I would be able to start assisting with your pet care needs today! I am open to helping out with dogs, cats, and reptiles. I have a fenced in backyard, my cats get filtered ice water daily, and they only eat the best food on the market. I am a nurse so I am also very good at giving medications if needed. I will definitely give your animal lots of love and kisses as well!
About: I have been pet sitting since I was 12 years old. This has allowed me to build up a variety of experience to meet all your pet’s needs! I initially started providing pet care through walk and potty breaks and have expanded from this to multiple-week long home stays. I have provided consistent care for 5 families, including 10 dogs. These dogs are of different sizes, breeds, and levels of care—everything from a Yorkie runt to an adult Great Dane. I can adapt to all of your needs, whether it be a strict schedule or just providing some love and attention. The most important thing to know about me is that I truly cherish every moment I spend with your furry friends. I have a big heart for animals and promise to always provide warm and loving care! :) I am a full-time student at UNL, which allows me a lot of free time to spend watching your pets. Since I am a student, class will always be a priority, but I still have quite a bit of flexibility with my schedule. If there are ever any changes, I will always communicate this to you ASAP. The first and most important thing I provide is compassion and kindness. You dog will be receiving plenty of belly rubs and pets under my care. I can also adapt from very active pets to those who just want to lay and relax. I have experience doing most pet care like walking, letting them out, playing, feeding, staying overnight, etc. I also appreciate when owners provide a schedule and list of any other important information like allergies, but this is flexible and up to the owner. I find that communication is very important so that there are clear expectations on both sides, ensuring the best care for your pets.
“We have used Angela twice now. Once for 2 days and the other for 5 days. She went above and beyond taking care of our animals. We arrived home to find them happy,full and loved. Will use Angela again!!”
“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.”

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 !!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Ralston stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.

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 calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
