About: I have always had pets in my life. I was raised with dogs and cats, and I currently have 1 dog and 3 cats! I was a Foster Parent for Underdogs Rescue from 2016-2021 and specialized in medically fragile and behaviorally challenged dogs. I moved to Omaha from Denver and had to take a hiatus from Rover to move and settle. My services are dog walking, check ins, and house sitting. I have boarded dogs before (as you can see from my reviews) but have decided not to do this again to offer stability for my cats. I love sending photos of pets when they’re in my care. Please check out my photos and see how the pets become my family! I always appreciate a list of do’s and don’ts, reminders, emergency contacts, etc. There is no such thing as too much communication for me. I am very good at multi-tasking and prioritizing. My work is very flexible and I am able to maintain consistency with offering support to pets in other's environment. I treat other's pets like they were my own. I love them all and will treat them with respect and kindness. I love taking pictures and keeping parent's apprised of how they are doing in my care.

About: Hello, I’m currently a bather and dog trainer at petsmart in council bluffs and have been for the last three years along with that I was a vet tech assistant for two years prior. I work for the council bluffs community schools as a para educator but also in going to school full time and working at petsmart part time as well. So I’m always busy busy busy. But I love being busy so don’t think I will be too busy to walk or do drop ins on pets. I have fenced yard for my three babies but unfortunately two out of my three babies are reactive to people and other dogs but they are just lovely dogs!

“Was able to schedule a walk short notice with Denise she is great at communicating and our pup Jim loved her!”

About: My family owned a dog when I was in middle school for about a year and a half, but due to busy schedules at the time we had to give him up. My brother had a dog for a little over five years, and I enjoyed helping him take care of her while I was living with my parents, and I went to their house to see her and help take care of her when needed before she passed away! I am different from other sitters because I will spend as much time as I possibly can with your pet! I know that with my brother’s dog, Emma, I wanted to be home with her as much as I can when I was living with my parents so she could be out of her kennel as often as possible. I will also make sure that everything you require of me will be completed in the most appropriate manner possible. I will always make sure that your pet is safe! I will always have an eye on your pet when they go to the bathroom outside, and will talk with you to get as many details as possible to make sure everything goes well while watching your pet! I am a teacher full time, so I would want to make sure that both you and your pet are okay with me being at my full time job during the day when I am house sitting. I am available to do house sitting all seven days of the week. I am available to do drop-in visits and dog walks only on the weekends (I am available all day on Saturdays and Sundays to do these) due to working as a teacher, however if you ever need a drop in or dog walk in the evening during the week please feel free to send me a request for it! I also regularly change my calendar so I am usually am available to do drop-in visits and dog walks on weekdays that I am out of school! I will make sure that your pet is my priority while under my care! I will take great care of your home, no matter which service you request! I will be very respectful of everything in your home, and I make sure I am around to take care of your pet(s) as often as possible! If you have any requests on what you would like me to do with your pet(s), no matter which service it might fall under, please let me know!

About: Hello! I worked part time at Happy Tails Dog Daycare for about a year. Lots of different sizes, ages & breeds I attended to. I have had a dog in the family for most of my life, as a kid and for 21 years of my adult life...so far.😉 I currently have one charcoal lab who is a 120lb galloping goofy boy! My favorite thing is taking him out for our walk. Then playing & loving on him! We lost his 13 yr old choco lab sister in December 2021-she had kidney disease but managed to live for 3 yrs after diagnosed. Thanks to acupuncture, CBD & other natural remedies. I currently work as a chiropractic assistant. I also love to bike the trails around the Des Moines area & am a huge Nascar fan! My dream is to get an RV & travel the country following Nascar, riding bike trails & experiencing every state! My hours of work currently are Mon, Wed & Thurs 7:30 - 6:30pm. I am currently without any furkids. I lost my Hachi on St Patrick's Day to a brain aneurysm. 🥺😢😭 My boy goes to Happy Tails Mon & Wed then hangs with my best friend on Thurs while I am working. We take our walks on Tues, Fri, Sat & Sun. I will keep regular routines for clients that I house/dog sit for. At my place we will do our best to keep them comfortable & on schedule/routine. Walks/Drop ins per clients direction.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind for pretty much my whole life. I’ve had a dog or some kind of animal since I was a kid. I’ve owned my own farm and even worked at an animal hospital for quite sometime. I have a rotating schedule that’s pretty open. I am available on weekends and weekdays. So I’ll have plenty of time to play with your fur babies. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I also am more than welcome to send daily pictures and updates and if needed for more security video chats.

“Ian was quick to respond and prompt for his scheduled time. He came prepared with water for my dog, took her for a nice walk and she came home very happy and tired from the exercise, which is exactly what I had hoped for: ) Ian has watched our pets before he joined Rover and he always does a great, thorough and thoughtful job. He really loves animals and it shows.”

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was about 15. I occasionally did pet sitting and dog walking for my neighbors when they needed extra help. In 2021, I got my first dog and learned much more, like grooming, potty training, and feeding. I found a passion for taking care of dogs and would like to continue! I am currently a student, so I have Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays free in the morning. I can also provide care at night until 10 p.m. My apartment complex has a fenced backyard. I also live by a park to walk dogs. Overall my neighborhood is very very calm and nice.

About: I love dogs of all kinds and have had my own family pets since I was 4 years old. I will treat yours like my own: with love, empathy, and compassion. I believe in force-free, positive reinforcement training methods, which I have used on my own miniature Goldendoodle for over 3 years. I'd love to care for your pup! I work full-time and intend for this to be my side gig for additional income on my days off. am off school from my graduate program until August, so this will hopefully be my or at least side gig for the summer. As I said above, I believe in positive, force-free training, so I do not yell, hit, or physically harm my dog or any dogs I am around. I believe in redirecting unwanted behaviors and encouraging all the good ones! Your dogs will be safe, happy, and healthy with me. I assure you! Also, I am comfortable managing multiple pups at a time. I am sure to monitor their interactions closely and make sure everyone is enjoying themselves and feeling comfortable.

About: I have experience in owning my own animals since I was a kid. I had a childhood dog that I loved and adored! I also had ferrets and fish. On my 16th birthday I was gifted a Greek tortoise that I still have! Her name is Eleanor. I have two cats in my household and help to take care of them when needed. I’m currently working full time which consists of 4 10 hour shifts from Tuesday to Friday. So that would leave my most availability from Saturday to Monday. I am also flexible for any needs after 5 pm until 9pm during the rest of the week. I am only able to pet sit at clients home. Any safety measures already implemented at the home will be utilized. Anything else that is needed can be discussed before hand

“Very professional, Cleo warmed up to her after one visit!”

About: I've had dogs for as long as I can remember. My last fur baby was a Puggle that was handicapped. She lost the use of her hind legs at age 6. She needed help going potty, I got her a wheelchair so we could still go on walks which she absolutely loved and was important to keep her as healthy as possible! She needed more care then my other dogs, she really trained me to help other dogs that need alittle more care. I have had Dachshunds, Cocker Spaniels, Boston Terriers and Puggle. I love any breed of fur babies, they all want love and belly scratches!! My schedule is pretty open and am willing to work with you to get the best help for your dog. My schedule is pretty flexible and would be available to spend a night or two at your home if needed. I would work with you to get the best care for your dog. I would not be able to have your pet in my home as I live in an apartment. I would take them for walks, let them out to go potty and stretch their legs. <ake sure they are fed and have fresh water. and the best part i'll sit with them and give love and make them feel comfortable with me in your absence . And of course clean up after them, I have 7 yrs experience of caring for a special needs dog.

About: Hey there! 🐾 If there's one thing I'm truly passionate about, it's our furry companions! I'm currently studying to become a vet tech and have spent the last year working at a doggy daycare as a sitter and washer—basically living my dream surrounded by wagging tails and wet noses. Recently, I welcomed two adorable pups into my life: George and Gracie. They’ve added so much joy (and chaos!) to my days and constantly remind me how much love dogs bring into our lives. Caring for other people’s pets—whether it’s for a quick potty break, some playtime, or while their humans are away—makes me genuinely happy. I believe dogs are more than pets; they’re family with feelings, personalities, and a whole lot of love to give. If your pup needs some TLC or a walk filled with sniffing adventures, I’d love to help out. Let’s make tails wag together! 🐶❤️ Thanks for considering me! Well, you see, I'm more of a laid-back kind of dog. My daily routine revolves around napping, eating, and the occasional leisurely stroll around the yard. My human takes care of the rest, including making sure I get my meds for cushing's disease. So, to answer your question, pet care fits into my routine seamlessly because, well, I don't do much myself! Woof! As a pet caregiver, I provide walking and house sitting services tailored to the needs of both the pet and the owner. For walking, I ensure that each stroll is enjoyable and beneficial for the pet, whether it's a brisk walk for an energetic pup or a leisurely stroll for a senior dog. During house sitting, I maintain a safe and comfortable environment for the pets in their own home, following any specific routines or instructions provided by the owner. Additionally, I offer companionship and affection to keep the pets happy and content while their owners are away.

About: Most of my experiences have been petsitting @ their homes, keeping the fubabies in their comfort zones. That way they have their own beds, toys and yards yet I welcome others into our home for us to love on. I enjoy the playing, sleeping, walking, and cuddling together. I look forward to sending daily pictures and updates to their parents. I provide honest and genuine caring and companionship to your babies. I'm available to pet sit over night, any night on the week at your home and would dog care in my home on weekend days/ nights. If you are looking for someone to love and care for your babies like you do, then I look forward to meeting you and your loved ones. I work from home and can work from anywhere. I can sit in your home, my home or even travel with for you if needed. I treat all animals as is they are my own. With patience, love, caring, and dedication. I vow to provide the best care possible. Thanks

“Keion has been an amazing new friend to our dog Leila! She took tim right away and enjoys her daily walks . Keion is very kind, helpful, responsible, and prompt. I highly recommend him !”

About: My name is Cheyenne, I am 28 years old. I have been around dogs my whole life as family pets. I have 2 cats of my own. I have been on Rover since 2018 so I have 6 years of experience with dog sitting including house sitting, dog walks, feeding and potty schedules, and keeping pups entertained and taken care of while their owners are away from home. I have experience with pups who struggle with anxiety from being away from their owners and am aware it can be as hard for them as it is for you and I will always be sure to send you photos or videos of your animals while you are away, I know how much you can miss them when you are at work or out of town. I always make sure to treat your home as my own and make sure it's cleaner than it was when you left it! My availability is open to anytime depending on bookings that are already set! I prefer to schedule a meet and greet before booking just to make sure it's a right fit for everyone 😊 I have experience with animals who get anxious when their owners are away, I have experience with oral medications and also strict feeding and potty schedules. I also have experience with animals who have disabilities.

About: I am a local dog trainer who teaches basic obedience training with an emphasis on positive reinforcement. I follow the Canine Good Citizen guidelines from the American Kennel Club to train the dogs of many clients. I have a lot of experience caring for dogs and can help with whatever needs they have! I spend every day training or looking after dogs, so I have a lot of experience with dogs of all ages and sizes, no matter their health and lifestyle needs! In addition to giving your dog the love and attention they deserve, I will also follow any guidelines you lay out for me so the dog feels like they can be comfortable and safe in their own environment. I am used to adapting to the dogs of my clients and am more than happy to accommodate to any lifestyle the dog is used to.

“Olivia showed up on time, communicated brilliantly and did a great job with my huge, stubborn dog. She followed instructions and did exactly what I asked. Will use her again for dog walks.”
