About: I have always had a strong love for animals and experience caring for pets. I am an Animal Science student at UNL with a focus on companion animals. I grew up with a Yorkie Schnauzer mix. I played with her, took her on walks, and was instrumental in her care as she aged and experienced health problems. I also have experience pet sitting for friends and am a volunteer at the Nebraska Humane Society. I am responsible, dependable, and passionate about making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I go back to Lincoln August 19th for school and would be happy to care for your pets up until then! As a college student, my schedule offers a great deal of flexibility, especially during the week and on weekends. I am able to work with different schedules and am happy to coordinate with you to find times that work best. I am available weekdays in the mornings and afternoons until 3pm, and on weekends anytime after 5! I will provide care for pets in their own home or neighborhood, depending on the service needed. I am happy to provide dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, and companionship while making sure each pet stays comfortable in their familiar environment. I will follow instructions carefully and keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible.
About: I grew up having lots of pets, and know the joy they bring to your home. Over the years my friends and family have trusted me to care for their pets and their homes while they are away. I have taken care of goldendoodles, pitbulls, bulldogs, beagles, and pugs. I would love to help you care for your pets or home in any way you need! I currently have a flexible schedule and am free nearly every afternoon and evening. My weekends are fairly free as well. I am happy to do extended stays as well. I follow all directions and wishes of my clients. I can honor designated feeding times and medications if necessary, including insulin injections. I will respect other belongings in the home and leave things as I found them.
“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!”
About: I grew up surrounded by cats and dogs. I even took care of my senior childhood dog. I now have two dachshunds of my own. I also did some cat and dog sitting in high school. I love to go on walks and am looking forward to meeting new pet friends! I am currently looking for a new job so I am always available. I am planning on working during the week days and also adding a couple school classes in the fall. I have a fenced yard and two friendly mini dachshunds. There is a cat in the house who will stay away from new pets. I can take dogs out as much as needed, feed them, take them on walks, and play with them!
“MacKenzie is great! She was on time for evry check in and made sure Herbie was fed. She gave updates on every visit and is very professional. HIGHLY RECOMMEND MacKenzie ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Kelsey is always a reliable option when King needs someone to look after him. He’s always well taken care of and I’m always kept up to speed on how he’s doing. We will continue to choose Kelsey for all our Rover needs, 10/10!”
“Brandon is very kind and patient with my Yorkie! He is so flexible with his schedule ti meet the needs of you and your pet! He does his drop-ins in the middle of the night for me! He will be a blessing to you as he is for me and my dog :)”
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.
“Alex is a rockstar. Teddy has an absolute blast with her!!!!! I can tell by the photos she takes of him (cause she’s also an incredible photographer!) I needed her last minute and she was available. Very grateful!”
About: Hi, I'm Greg. I am a lifelong dog lover with extensive experience handling dogs of all shapes and sizes. From high-energy Huskies and Golden Retrievers to spirited Boston Terriers and patient giant breeds, I understand that every dog has unique physical and emotional needs.In 2024, I said goodbye to my beloved Newfoundland, Baloo. He left a massive hole in my heart, and caring for your four-legged family members is my favorite way to keep his loving spirit alive. I treat every guest with the same deep devotion, patience, and exceptional care that I gave m I am retired and have flexibility to manage 24/7 house sitting, extended day care, long adventures or a drop in for walks. I'm perfect for high-energy pups needing a lunch-break burnout walk or puppies requiring a mid-day potty relief. I follow your exact feeding, medication, and crating schedules to minimize your dog's anxiety. Your home security is important to me. I keep doors locked, bring in mail, turn on lights, and maintain a lived-in look for your safety. My Cleanliness Guarantee is that I will leave your home exactly as I found it (maybe cleaner), keeping paws wiped and messes completely cleaned. You will receive Real-Time Updates if requested. You will receive photo, video, and text updates during every single visit or overnight stay. I bring my own food and necessities, respecting your privacy and personal boundaries completely.
“Morgan has allowed me to transition to my new job with ease, knowing my dog is in good hands during the day. She is incredibly flexible with my schedule and goes above and beyond when I leave her special instructions for the day. I was a little nervous having a stranger enter my home at first, but she not only takes amazing care of my dog, she goes out of her way to keep my home protected when she leaves. I would no doubt recommend her services to anyone!”
“So glad we found Linda and was nice meeting her. I feel I could totally trust her staying in our home overnights too. Our boxer Myka is usually Leary of new people in our house. Takes her a while to go to them. But she literally ran up to her and was all over her wanting to play. Guess dogs really do have instinct on who are comfortable with them & love them. I forgot to get more toys & balls for them to play with though . Oops.”
“Allison was absolutely amazing. She took amazing care of my diabetic cat as well as ensuring his litter area was clean. I highly recommend Allison for your cat daycare needs.”
“Ben's amazing, dedicated, thoughtful, timely, and very helpful. He made sure he understood everything he needed to about care for my cat, and then he also helped us through a tough time with changing care needs.”
“Brady was very professional and responsive to messages. From the moment she came in the door the first time, she started connecting with our pup and putting him at ease. On her first visit without us he was a bit unsure of a new person in the home, but she immediately knew how to win him over with treats and affection and the pictures indicate he would be very excited to see her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ralston
Danielle was awesome! She really went the extra mile. Our pets can be somewhat skittish, yet they warmed up easily to her. She posted several pictures and shared detailed notes entailing both that was done and the emotional state of each of our fuzzies. We will definitely book her again!
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 !!
Another 5 star experience having Charlie do daily drop ins for our cat. She takes the time to ensure he’s given care and attention, and documents each visit with photos and a thorough status update. We appreciate her kindness with our cat and her attention to detail. We are repeat customers due to her great work!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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.
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:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
