“Teresa was amazing! She made sure our dogs got all of their energy out and felt comfortable. Our dogs are difficult and don’t get along and she followed everything we asked perfectly. It was so nice that we did not have to worry about them when we were gone. We will definitely be using her services again.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for most of my adult life. As a kid I was never able to have pets, so as an adult I’ve always had multiple dogs. I love dogs and enjoy their personalities and fun loving nature. Weekends and holidays are spent at home with the family, and the four-legged family members get plenty of playtime! During the week, I work full-time. Our dogs are kennel-trained and enjoy their downtime during the day. Once home, they’re out and a part of all our evening activities. We have a fenced-in yard where they can run and play non-stop. Our fenced-in yard is an excellent space for our four energetic dogs to run and play. They love to play non-stop, and our kids, who are also dog lovers, enjoy playing along with them.
“Crystal is absolutely amazing. Highly recommend! My pups both loved her instantly and her communication is off the charts! Will use her again no doubt! This was my first Rover experience and I’m sold all because of Crystal! Thank you so much for keeping an eye on my babies!!!”


About: Ive owned one or more dogs since I was a kid. Ive participated in a variety of dog training from classes at PetSmart to Nebraska Dog Training. Working from home, there will be limited times pets will be left unsupervised while in my care. I am Working from home full time which makes me available for frequent potty breaks. This also allows for several opportunities for social interaction throughout the day. I have 5 acres of land. Not fenced available, but outside time on a leash can be offered to ensure safety. I have two dogs to provide company. An 8 yr old female and 9 month male puppy.
About: Lifelong animal lover offering reliable dog walking and drop-in visits for dogs and cats. I’ve cared for pets my entire life and previously boarded dogs through Rover, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. In 2017 I was an active Rover sitter and boarded dogs in my home for about a year, working with several families and building repeat clients. During that time I had multiple dogs and cats of my own, as well as young children, so I’m very comfortable managing busy households and different pet personalities. Today I have one dog and one cat of my own and am excited to return to Rover focusing on dog walking and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats. I’m happy to help with: • Dog walking (short or long walks) • Drop-in visits for dogs or cats • Feeding, fresh water, and routine care • Litter box cleaning for cats • Playtime, attention, and companionship • Basic medications when pets are comfortable receiving them I’ve also worked in boarding facilities, grooming salons, and doggy daycares, which gave me experience handling many different types of dogs and temperaments. I’m known for being calm, patient, and routine-focused, and I treat every pet with the same care and attention I give my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a wide-open schedule and can be flexible to meet your pet’s needs, whether it’s daily walks or regular drop-in visits. I primarily drive to visits, so I can reach most locations efficiently. To ensure the best care for your pets, I ask for at least a day’s notice when scheduling or canceling visits. Since this is my main source of income, I can be consistent and dependable, giving your pets the attention and routine they deserve. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. Dogs are always leashed during walks, and I adjust routes or pause if other dogs are nearby to ensure a calm, controlled experience. I’m comfortable caring for multiple pets at once, as long as they get along well. I handle pets with anxiety, aggression, or medical needs carefully, following all instructions from their parents. During drop-in visits, I take my lead from pet parents and follow any guidance provided, ensuring I leave the home exactly as I found it — doors locked, secure, and everything in order. My goal is to provide a safe, consistent, and worry-free experience for both pets and their families.
“What a treasure we have found! Sierra made going out of town for a quick getaway easy! She has great communication, was reliable, and was terrific with our pets! We will definitely use her again in the future!”


About: I have my own reactive dog I’ve learned so much about. In the 8 years we’ve had him, we have been able to watch his growth, and my own, as we’ve learned what his needs are. I have successfully brought a puppy into our home and trained him alongside our older, reactive dog. I understand the need for love and patience. I am a teacher in the Papillion district and would love to be involved in the community. I love animals, being outside, and creating relationships with new people. I am open during the summer and nights and weekend when school starts back up! I am experienced with my own reactive dog. I have learned so much about walking, crate training, and overall daily mental health stimulation for him. I understand the balance of love and support for animals who need extra care and attention.
About: My passion for animals and love towards animals. I currently have 3 dogs two huskies and one lab mix. I’m super excited to start dog sitting because being with animals is my happy place! Please reach out if you need somewhere for your dog to stay while away or I can even come to you!! With my 3 dogs I have a daily routine. We wake up at 8am and they go outside and run around the fence while I get their first meal ready. They eat and then get kennel for 30 minutes to let food settle before playing again. They then have the whole day to play and do as they want along with an hour walk. We typically play fetch for at least an hour a day and then they get their second meal. I constantly make sure my dogs are happy and have something to do. Weather it be playing with toys or enrichment toys to get their energy and brain going. They get brushed daily, teeth brushed and walks. My dogs are my everything as I don’t have kids.

About: I currently have 3 dogs, 2 are foster fails. One from a rescue I volunteered for and the other through a family member who made a rash decision to buy a puppy. All 3 dogs are different in size, small, medium and large. All are tan and was not planned that way. Age range is 12, 11, and 8. My oldest has to have multiple kinds of eyedrops 3 times a day. He is unfortunately blind, but he is still happy. I have experience with fostering dogs and working with rescue organizations. I am currently a stay-at-home dog mom of 3. I have time to play, feed, walk or let out your dog anytime during the day and can stay with them for a little while. I consider my pets as my children and treat them with love and great care. I believe a person's energy affects how a dog reacts to them, so I do my best to stay calm around dogs in general. I am not super strict and will give love and kisses and bring excited energy when the situation is safe to do so. I like to train my dogs on their basics skills and tricks because I do believe that makes life easier for everyone. I am not opposed to crate training or using it when necessary.
“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!”

“Did a good job taking care of the pets. A couple of hiccups but stayed in communication well. Snow storm hit at the end of the week and offered extra help just in case. Much appreciated!”

“Danette took great care of my cat while I was out of town for a few days over 4th of July weekend! He was well fed and well loved, and I could tell he was very content despite my being away. I would definitely recommend her, and will look to her again if I need care for him in the future.”

About: Hello there! I provide unconditional love and detailed care to all animals. Every pet is unique and I tend to each one with its specific requirements for care. For 15 years I have been trusted to care for a wide variety of dogs and cats and house sit as needed. I work from home which allows me to provide your pet with consistent, detailed care throughout the day and/or night. I have worked at doggy day cares and used to be a full time dog walker when I lived in Austin, Texas for a few years. My experience combined with desire to care for animals will be a perfect fit for your fur babies! I also paint pet portraits (see photos) and would love to commission a painting if you are interested. I am home with kiddos and would love to care for your fur babies - I love having animals around the house and/or going on walks/caring for animals. I care for them as if they are my own. I am detail oriented and want animals to be loved as if they are my own.

“He did amazing with our pups. We have 4 of them and was worried about having someone watch them as this was our first rover experience. We were so happy with the results. We have cameras in our home so we could see everything and he was so good with our dogs. One of them even got sick and he cleaned it up with out hesitation. Thank you!”

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 Springfield 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.

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.
