“Danielle has been amazing with Charley, during her visits. He is used to having "his" humans around, so this is a new adventure for him. Danielle does not rush him. She seems very intuitive when handling new clients. Thanks Danielle!”
About: Hello! I’ve worked with pets of all ages, from young puppies to senior cats. As a cat mom myself, I know that pets are family, and how important it is for your pet to be with someone they can trust while you’re away. I have extensive experience providing attention and active engagement with all types of pets. I would love to care for your pets and provide them with a welcoming, trusting face while you're away. I work full-time, but have options to work from home if needed, and can use lunch breaks as a potty break for your furry friend. I love spending time with pets, providing them with enrichment, and a loving, interactive environment. I care for pets by providing them with proper attention and watching their behaviors to determine cues. I have extensive experience with both cats and dogs, providing them with a welcoming environment with someone they, and you, can trust.
About: Hi, my name is Amy. I grew up in western NE and grew up taking care of all kinds of animals. In the last 10 years, I have owned 4 retired racing greyhounds and fostered 20 through the Heartland Greyhound Association. I'm comfortable with big and small animals! I can also help with senior animals and medication. I adore all animals. Well, snakes are questionable. I don't currently have any animals due to my changing schedule, so I thought this would be a great way to spend time with them. My schedule varies by week. Please reach out to me with any questions. I’m excited to start helping you and your pets so feel free to reach out to me for assistance. My schedule is completely flexible at any time of day. Please reach out if you have any questions. I'm excited to help you with your fur babies! I currently live in a 2 bedroom apartment. Depending on the personality of the animal I can have them here. I also have a dog park nearby I can take your dog.
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.
“Like most dog moms, I felt nervous leaving Blue alone for the first time (he has some anxiety). We usually travel with him, but were unable to do so this trip. Mary was so kind and understanding! She sent pictures, detailed feedback, and even left us a little gift. Blue seems happy and adjusted well to Mary. He's usually skittish after trips, but not this time! We will definitely use Mary again in the future!”
About: As a proud rescue dog mom, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member! I know that every dog has its own personality, needs, and comfort level, and I believe in treating each one with patience, kindness, and love. Whether your pup needs a potty break, feeding, playtime, or just some extra attention while you’re away, I’ll do my best to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I treat every dog like part of the family and understand how much peace of mind it brings to know your pet is in good hands! I’m currently a stay-at-home mom, which gives me flexibility in my daily schedule to provide loving care for your furry family members! As a dog mom to my own 5-year-old rescue, caring for dogs is already a big part of my everyday life. I enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. I’m available for drop-in visits throughout the week, depending on my family’s schedule, and I’m happy to help with potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and extra attention while you’re away! Your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities! As a rescue dog mom, I understand that every dog has different needs, personalities, and comfort levels. During drop-in visits, I’ll respect your home, follow your dog’s normal routine, and make sure they have fresh water, potty breaks, and plenty of attention. I believe in being patient, gentle, and dependable. I’ll also provide updates so you can feel confident knowing your furry family member is in caring hands!
“Melissa did an amazing job looking after my 2 kitties! I was in a bit of pickle and she was so helpful! I really appreciate her timely responses and the love and attention she showed my boys. She sent lots of pictures and let me know they were being very snuggly so I knew they appreciated her!”
“Sonia is a life saver! She was flexible and was able to let our pups out when our flight was delayed and canceled! She really came through in our time of need. Absolutely amazing care giver!”
“Amazing amazing - Marc was so communicative and loving to the kitties. This was the first time I ever had someone that wasn’t a loved one watch them and wow I am so lucky we got Marc!!!”
“Heidi has been a great help with daily drop in visits for our pups. She is great at communicating how each visit went and super flexible with times day by day! We appreciate her help so much!”
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 Junior in college at UNO 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, blonde wiener dog and chickens my family!
About: Hi! My name is Mia and I am originally from Colorado, but now work as a nurse at Children’s. I have had two or more pets in my household growing up, and am a dog lover. I have watched and taken care of dogs my whole life. Would love to meet your fur babies!! I am currently free every weekend and Monday, so I have plenty of time to watch and play with your pups! I am also free on Fridays after noon to dog sit!! I do not have any pets at home so all of my attention will go to your first baby. I love to walk over to the dog park across the street from my apartment where your dog can play, and I also have a large dog run attached to my apartment to let your dog run in off leash!!
“Deborah was great! When she first came to meet my dogs she got right down on the floor with them! I loved that! She had great communication and even sent pictures. I have birds and Deborah didn’t even hesitate to say she would take care of them too! She was amazing. I would definitely recommend her and use her again in the future!!!”
“Hannah provided fantastic care for my two girls. Lila required medication to be administered twice a day for a week & so finding out Hannah was experienced was a sigh of relief! She was kind, timely, cleanly, and attentive to my fur babes. 6 out of 5 stars! THANK YOU, HANNAH!”
“5 stars for Natalie! ⭐️ She was super professional, patient, and really tried her best to get my dogs to come outside, even though they were being stubborn. I really appreciate her effort and how well she took care of them. I would definitely recommend her and have her again!”
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 ☺️

Jessica was so wonderful to work with! She came through for us on a last minute booking after a cancellation and was willing to make her schedule work for us. She’s communicative and you can tell how much she really loves animals. I will definitely be booking Jessica again!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Ralston is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $9 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 1,091 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ralston. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
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.
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.
