“We love Danielle! Communicative and so helpful. Boomer looks forward to her weekly walks with Danielle and the cats love to rub on her when she pops in to visit them. She’s very accomodating!”
About: My experience caring for dogs has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each pet’s unique needs. As a rescue dog mom, I have a special place in my heart for shy, anxious, senior, and special-needs dogs. I understand that building trust takes time, and I always use a gentle, positive, non-violent approach. I’m comfortable following specific routines, administering care as instructed, and giving pets the extra reassurance they need to feel safe. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, comfortable, and cared for just like they would at home. 🐾 I work Sundays through Wednesdays, with long shifts on Sundays, so I’m unavailable that day. Monday through Wednesday, I’m happy to care for pets as long as they’re comfortable being home alone while I’m at work. My home is dog-proofed, and I’m comfortable with dogs who are not kennel-trained or who have free roam of the house. I want every dog to feel safe and comfortable in an environment that suits their needs! My home has a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time and a walking trail right out back for walks and good sniffs! I have one shy but friendly small pup who loves people and typically lets other dogs make the first move. She is very gentle and respectful of other dogs’ space, making her a great companion for dogs who enjoy having a calm canine friend around. I want every dog in my home to feel safe, comfortable, and free to settle in at their own pace.
About: I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your pets. My own dog would not be thrilled about a stranger suddenly showing up in her home, so I offer a complimentary meet & greet for all new clients. This gives you, your pets, and me a chance to get comfortable with each other! I’ve had dogs my entire life and have always been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, energy levels, and personalities. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, lots of attention, or would rather spend the day curled up relaxing, I’m happy to follow their normal routine and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I also have plenty of experience caring for reptiles and understand that their needs can be very different from traditional pets. I’m comfortable caring for snakes, lizards, and other reptiles, including feeding and following specific care, enclosure, lighting, and routine instructions. Most importantly, I know every pet has their own personality and preferences, and I’m happy to tailor their care to whatever makes them feel most at home! 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.
“Helped walk both of our 60 pound dogs for a full week while wife was out of town. Dogs are always well-exercised when I come home and Danny always keeps the apartment clean and tidy. Continues to be a huge value-add for us.”
“KALEB is excellent with dogs. He’s more than capable of handling them. Mine were frisky and excited to walk and pulled on the leash, but he handled everything fine. He is exceptionally good with the dogs, he is very polite and trustworthy”
“Zach has been such a wonderful and consistent walker for our dog! I could tell right away that he just gets dogs and they love him. I know my dog is thrilled when he is there and he has even helped us use a more gentle and positive approach to training him on a leash. Thank you Zach!”
About: I’ve owned pets my whole life including dogs, horses, cats, hampers, bunnies, you name it! My fur babies mean the world to me and I would love to help take care of your fur babies when you need it! I have experience with small, medium, and large dogs from shih tzus to pitbulls we love them all!! And we have a fully fenced ginormous yard! I am currently waiting for school to start so I am available almost all day to take care of your pet! Or stop in to do potty breaks and walks! I have a 6ft fully fenced yard with no gapes and I stay outside anytime our pets are outside! We have two dogs but we will keep them separated from any pets that stay.
About: I have been pet sitting for friends and family since I was in jr high school. I currently have 1 dog 3 fish, and 2 humans I keep alive! I'm patient, I have lots of energy but also like to chill if that's what your pup would prefer! I've recently made some major lifestyle changes to make myself more flexible and accessible for my family! This gives me the chance to be available about anytime of day. I would love to meet you and your pets! At this point my calendar is fairly open, I am flexible and willing to work with moving and changing schedules. Most of my day involves school pick up and off and being a taxi to evening dance classes, which is easily done with or around the schedule of an extra furry friend or 2. We have 1 Brittany. She she has full use of all upstairs furniture, a fully enclosed backyard and probably too many snacks! They are happy to welcome new friends to sit on their sofas!
About: I have had both dogs and cats in my household. I don’t currently have a pet, and would love to provide care for your pet! I am a retired teacher with a flexible schedule. I am available weekdays and weekends. Pet care works very well in my current situation and lifestyle. Caring for another person’s pet must align with their preferences, routines, and individual needs. I have cared for each of my pets according to their personality and needs, and my vision for discipline and routine.
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.
“Another great visit with Sierra. Helps me a lot of course, but her enthusiasm and genuine love for the pets is really beneficial to them too and helps with socializing. Much appreciated!”
About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, which has given me hands-on experience caring for pets of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. What sets me apart is my natural comfort and understanding of animals—I’m attentive to their behavior, patient with their needs, and focused on making them feel safe and at ease while you’re away. I have experience with both energetic puppies and older pets who need a gentler approach. Whether it’s helping reinforce basic training for young dogs, sticking to routines, or providing calm, attentive care for seniors, I adjust my approach to fit each pet. I’m also comfortable managing multiple pets and following specific care instructions closely. Above all, I treat every pet like they’re my own—with reliability, compassion, and plenty of attention. I am currently working part time, so my availability is flexible for walks and drop-in visits! I do have my own furry friend, so I am unavailable for extended visits and overnight care. I will treat your fur baby like they are my own - frequent walks, play time, and all the snuggles! Safety is a must for me, so I promise your dog and home will always be safe in my care.
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and currently care for my own cats, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I have experience providing daily care including feeding, fresh water, litter box maintenance, playtime, exercise, and plenty of attention. I treat every pet (dog or cat) as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to following your pet’s routine to help keep them happy and stress-free. I have a flexible schedule and am available every day except Saturdays. I can provide pet care visits between 6:00 AM and 4:00 PM, making it easy to accommodate morning, midday, and afternoon needs. I’m committed to being reliable, punctual, and ensuring your pets receive the care and attention they deserve while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routine as closely as possible to help pets feel comfortable and secure. I provide fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, give plenty of attention and playtime, and monitor pets for any changes in behavior or health. I understand that every pet has different needs, so I take the time to learn their preferences and personality. I also respect my clients’ homes by keeping things clean, secure, and exactly as I found them. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care while giving pet owners peace of mind when they’re away.
About: I have loved animals ever since I can remember. I have a caring and attentive approach to pet care, making the animals feel comfortable and loved. 🤍I have taken multiple vet assistant classes in school, and have walked and boarded all different kinds of animals. I treat your pets how I would want mine to be treated 💕 let your pets play more while you worry less 🐾 I’m currently working only 3 days a week so I am flexible in scheduling pet care. I am able to watch or play with your pet almost anytime ☺️ I am very good at communicating and keeping in touch with what works best for the pet and the owner. So if caring for your pets in my home or yours works better I am up to either one 🥰
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.
“Jack continues to provide excellent service walking our dog Benson. It was bitter cold a couple mornings. We have him scheduled for early in the morning and he was always on time. He took Benson for the whole scheduled walk not cutting it short even on the really cold mornings. Thank you Jack!!!”
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.
“Opening my home and trusting our pup with someone I didn't know was nerve racking. That was until I met Jeannie! You can tell she truly has a passion for animals and enjoys what she does. Communicates well, punctual, and does her best to work with your scheduling needs. Highly recommend.”

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.

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.

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.
