“Robert is great! Millie seemed to love her walks with him. Looking forward to having him watch her for a couple weeks in the near future! I was very nervous to leave her with anyone for that long, but I feel reassured knowing that Robert will take care of her like his own dog.”
“Danielle has been incredible and has taken such great care of Luna! My pet gets so excited when she sees Danielle! Danielle always makes it a point to communicate well and ahead of time if there are any changes concerning weather, logistics, or other needs. She makes certain that my Luna is well taken care of and needs are met. She often goes above and beyond without ever being asked. I am lucky to have found her!”
“Mary is just EXCELLENT. She dropped in on Coco and took care of her like her wn. If you need a Rover gal to watch your furbabies, this is the Lady to call. I highly recommend!!”
“Linda has been walking Smokey for a year and has been fantastic to work with. She’s flexible, always willing to help out in a pinch and most importantly Smokey adores her. We feel so lucky to have found her!”
“Michaela has been taking my pup out for a daily walk for the past two weeks and I am sooo glad I found her on Rover! She sends tons of pictures of their time together and makes sure I’m filled in each day. Not only does she take great care of Tucker, she was thoughtful enough to bring our emptied trash cans up to the house from the end of the drive twice now. Thank you for going above and beyond, Michaela! We appreciate you ❤️”
About: I’ve been a dog lover and owner since age 10. I have experience with dogs of all sizes (including giant dogs), geriatric dogs, dogs that need medications, special diets, and/or diapers, as well as the joys and frustrations of puppyhood. I will treat your dog as if it is my own (and probably give them a few nicknames too). Bring on the wet nose kisses, walks, play time, and cuddles! I’m self-employed so I can be available any time or day of the week. I’m proud to provide flexible and last minute scheduling for my clients. I consider it a privilege to have you trust me with your furry family member(s). I want their experience to be as smooth and consistent as possible while you are away, so I’m happy to follow any and all routines, as “weird” or “complicated” as you might think they are. The last thing I want is for you to be worried about your pet(s) while you are gone. Trust they are in good hands with me.
About: I have experience in training and animals handling. I have been called an animal whisperer. I am open to all pets even aggressive ones. I have experience in exotic pets as well. I am in college and I take care of animals in between my classes. This will not take away from my time spent with your animals and I will be fully focused on your pet while I am there. I have a large amount of experience with animal behavior. I can confidently and comfortably care for all types of animals regardless of temperament or aggression level. Your pet will always be safe with me.
“Very straightforward experience with Ben. He was easy to communicate with and did exactly what we asked. He sent a picture of our dog with a beaming smile so clearly he made him very comfortable. Will definitely be using again!”
“Gregory has been the perfect dog walker. My dog Gus gets so excited the second he hears Gregory at the door. I always get great photo updates and a detailed summary after every walk, which gives me total peace of mind while I am recovering from knee surgery. He is extremely reliable, professional, and treats my dog like family. Not to mention just being an all around nice guy. I could not recommend him enough!"”
“Brady was wonderful and took so many cute pictures of our sweet boy. Clearly she's some sort of dog whisperer because he apparently behaved perfectly for her which I truly appreciate. Very professional, kind, and wonderful. 10/10 tail wags, will be requesting her services again!”
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 owned pets since I was 6 years old. Seven cats and one small dog. I am more experienced with cats, but I do understand what taking care of a dog entails. I have experience with diabetic cats, elderly cats, and the grumpy cats too. It's hard not to fall in love with all of them. I currently work overnights at my primary job on an eight days on, six days off schedule. I plan to primarily work on my days off. However, I can also take on reasonable jobs during my workweek when my schedule allows. Overall, my availability is fairly open. When I take care of your pet in your home, I'll follow your routines and any specific instructions you provide. I'll give them the attention they need while keeping their environment safe and secure. I know every pet is different, and I'll work to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you're away.

Greg has outstanding communication and has been a great partner for us in caring for our dogs. He has promptly brought issues to our attention and even helped brainstorm solutions. Greg has been flexible with our schedule and most importantly, our dogs love him! Highly recommended!
Michael did a fantastic job! I've got a big German shepherd and had to leave him alone with my wife who struggles to walk him right now. Michael was super flexible in his schedule and always came through. My wife would call me while I was away and tell me how happy our pup was to go on his walks and how energetic he became whenever Michael stopped by! Excellent service and will definitely use again
Robert is great! Millie seemed to love her walks with him. Looking forward to having him watch her for a couple weeks in the near future! I was very nervous to leave her with anyone for that long, but I feel reassured knowing that Robert will take care of her like his own dog.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Ralston. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

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.
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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
walkers 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 walker.
