About: My family has 3 dogs and I adore them. I absolutely love animals and I believe every pet deserves love and attention. I am a broke college student saving for my future! I hope to use my love for animals to help me financially:) I am a college student so I have a pretty wild schedule. Im free most mornings and afternoons depending on my schedule for my other job. I try to be as flexible as I can! I have 3 dogs at home! I help take them outside 3 times a day considering I do not have a fence currently. I love taking them on walks. My two younger dogs are super energetic so I love playing with them to get their energy out! I love meeting new animals:)
About: I have over 10 years of pet care experience and 7 years working in veterinary medicine. I studied Animal Science and currently serve as a Health Coordinator in shelter medicine, after years of experience as a veterinary assistant. My background includes working in Emergency and General Practice, so I am confident for caring for pets with a wide range of needs, from puppies and kittens to seniors and those requiring medications or special instructions. I’m especially patient with anxious or shy animals and understand how to make them feel safe and comfortable. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, nail trims, giving medications or providing calm reassurance, I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to give owners complete peace of mind. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 7am–4pm, with Fridays ending at 2pm. This gives me plenty of availability for weekday evenings (also early mornings), weekends, and Friday afternoons. When caring for pets in your home, I make sure to follow your routines and instructions closely so your pet feels comfortable and secure. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, medications, nail trims, exercise, and providing enrichment so they feel happy and relaxed. My background in animal medicine also helps me notice small changes in behavior or health, giving you extra peace of mind. I do have a French Bulldog puppy who unfortunately is blind but training her and adding her to the family has had a good impact on how to handle and care special needs animals.
About: I started my care for dogs when I was 14. I often sit for friends and family when they need me. I am an animal lover who just loves spending time with new animals. I love getting to know all of their sweet personalities. I am currently a student with no more than 2 classes a day so lots a free time to spend with your pets. I would be free to let out your pets multiple times a day and even spend the night if you would like. I am very accommodating when it comes to all types of animals. We can discuss what your animals need in your house and find some type of system.
“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.”


About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I have several years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I grew up with a black lab, a beagle, and a grey tabby cat, so caring for pets has always come naturally to me. I’ve worked as a boarding manager and at a structured dog daycare focused on creating calm, positive environments for dogs. This gave me experience reading dog body language and understanding different personalities, from high-energy pups to shy or anxious pets. I also volunteer at a local rescue, which has helped me build patience and trust with animals who need a little extra care, including senior or nervous pets. I’m confident handling multiple dogs, maintaining routines, and making sure each pet feels safe and comfortable. As a pet owner myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. I always make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I provide regular updates and photos, and I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. ✍️Quick Highlights • Experience with cats & dogs of all ages and temperaments • Former boarding manager and dog daycare worker • Comfortable with shy, anxious, senior, and high-energy pets • Able to reinforce basic training • Work from home with a flexible schedule • Frequent updates and photos 🐶💕Care Style & Training I treat every pet like they’re my own and focus on keeping their routine calm and consistent. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medications, and house rules, and I respect both your home and your pet’s boundaries.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and grew up with two golden retrievers, so caring for pets has always come naturally to me. I’ve also dog sat for friends and family, helping with walking, feeding, playtime, and making sure their pets feel safe and loved while they’re away. I’m very patient, attentive, and understand that every dog has their own personality and needs. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or more calm and cuddly, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family. I am currently part-time employed but if you let me know in advance I’m available anytime weekday or weekends! Dog sitting is something I look forward to - not as a chore, so I am fully able to spend long hours if needed! I always prioritize safety and follow each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions carefully. I make sure pets are secure on walks, supervised during play, and always in a safe environment. I often prefer caring for pets in their own home because it keeps them comfortable in a familiar space and helps reduce stress. I’m very respectful of clients’ homes, keep things clean, and provide regular updates so owners feel confident while they’re away.
About: I've had cats and dogs my whole life! I've done in house and drop in pet sitting for family and friends over the years, and have spent time caring for special needs pets (medicine, on-time insulin injections, diapers, etc.). I personally have 2 elderly cats that I've enjoyed caring for in their golden days! I am currently on a gap year after having just graduated college (this past December from UNO!) so I have plenty of time to spare! When visiting a home I'm happy to do walks, feeding, brushing, and check for things like trash knocked over, clean messes, etc. I can also provide medicine (pills, liquid, and injectable medicine) to both dogs and cats, as well as insulin shots and changing pet diapers. I understand these things can be time sensitive and crucial to your pets health!

I have a fenced-in yard and two friendly dogs of my own—a 5-year-old Corgi and a 2-year-old Wirehaired dog. Both are fully trained, very friendly, and active. I’m comfortable caring for dogs in my home as well as in my clients’ homes. When caring for pets in their home, I will follow their normal routine, keep their environment clean and secure, make sure they have fresh food and water, provide plenty of exercise and attention, and treat their home and pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions or routines provided by the pet owner.
About: I've grown up around dogs/cats! I love getting as much time in with animals as possible. Ran a boarding facility (with day care) for 8+ years. I've taken care of many senior dogs (needing medication/specialty food) and have also bred, so I have lots of puppy experience. I also offer training! I work solely out of my home with a flexible schedule, so I can easily work around your pets needs! I'm available 24/7 with reliable transportation. I have very large fenced yard and 2 dogs of my own to keep your baby company. I allow pets anywhere I go (even my furniture). I also have dog crates in home so you don't need to carry yours back and forth!
“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.”

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.

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: Am able to watch, walk, or clean pets when needed. Also able to drive pets places when needed. I really enjoy being able to take pets places that they aren’t usually able to go. I am in school from 10am-6pm on mondays and Wednesdays. I spend the rest of the week working at my part time job. Looking for walking jobs that are about to work around my schedule! At this moment I will not be able to offer any in own home services, only services based out of clients home or out in public.

Most recently I have five and a half years of previous vet clinic experience working as a veterinary receptionist and helping out as an assistant from time to time.

“Melissa is awesome! I needed a dogwalker last minute and she totally came to my rescue. She was beyond personable and professional, and I know my puppy enjoyed having Melissa come take him out for a midday stroll. She even practiced manners with him!! ?”

About: Hey! Thanks for checking me out. My name is Mark, and the morkie in the picture is my best friend and rescue pup Charlie. We both recently moved back in with my mother, who is thrilled to potentially start hosting more pups! Charlie spent the first year of his life in a crate, in a household that largely ignored him. While I'm grateful that this was the extent of his neglect, he didn't come out of it unscathed. In fact, he has the worst separation anxiety of any dog that I've ever owned! He also has a tough time dealing with dogs that are significantly bigger than him. That's why I decided to move back home and shorten my hours at work, so I can always be present for him. I've been looking after dogs since I was 14, and I've worked at two separate dog boarding and grooming salons across 5 years+. I am excellent with dogs of all breeds and sizes. If you're wanting to find a reliable, safe and trusted person to go above and BEYOND for the care of your pup(s), look no further! Whether you need a house-sitter for two weeks or just someplace safe to drop off your small dog for a day or two, I make it my top priority to put your mind at ease. I will send you daily updates, as well as multiple photos and videos of your pet(s) detailing their day and how they did! As a part-time, work-from-home call center supervisor, there are usually only a handful of moments each day that I'm required to sit at my desk. I have a senior position that allows me to take frequent breaks and delegate tasks, ensuring I am always attentive to my pup and household. I live in an extremely safe neighborhood in Northwest Omaha with a large, fenced in backyard. I have over 5 years of paid experience dealing with dogs of all breeds, sizes and temperaments. I specialize in puppies and dogs with separation anxiety or high energy!
About: I have very energetic pups who love to run and play outside I also have a senior dog who takes medicine every morning after potty I am a stay at home wife with plenty of time on her hands so I am available pretty often and would love to help. I love to spoil the animals and will even bring them toys and treats. I have a fenced in yard so I'm good at making sure gates are closed and there are no holes around the bottom for eacape

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 Springfield. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

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.
