“Alexis did an amazing job! We were nervous about leaving our dog with someone new, but she eased our minds. She was great about communicating with us about how things were going with pictures, videos and communicating about the visit. Cannot say enough good things about Alexis. She is definitely the best choice for a dog sitter.”
“Kay and Hutch were amazing! Our dog was truly home away from home in their care! They went above and beyond taking care of our dog, here are just a few things they did: lots of pictures, videos and text updates, numerous walks, plenty of toys, and they have a few puzzle boards that they hid treats in! Wonderful people, and a wonderful stay for our pet! We would 100% have them watch our dog again! Our dog had so much fun she has been missing them! Thank you again!”
“So happy we did it! Was very nervous to leave our dogs as we haven’t ever left our dogs with anyone but family before. Doyle was so responsive to messages and gave us a couple pictures at first to calm our nerves. The rest of the trip they let us enjoy it and we figured no news was good news! We had to get back late the last day but they said it was no problem! Very happy! Easy and it seems like our dogs really enjoyed themselves! Will use them again if we need!”
“Thank you for your prompt and attentive communication and for all the pictures, videos, and updates. It wasn’t easy for me to drop off my little man, but you assured me he was safe and well taken care of.”
“Amy is absolutely fantastic! I reached out to her at the last minute, and she was incredibly accommodating and kind. You can tell immediately that she truly loves animals. She went above and beyond to make sure my boy felt right at home, and that he had lots of exercise and walks. I am so grateful she could help us out on such short notice. I highly recommend Amy to anyone!”
About: I’m a SAHM to an almost 2 year old. We have time to spend with your animals and make sure they’re well loved and cared for . My son has been around animals and I’ve taught him to be gentle and would never leave your pet unattended. We also love taking them for walks or playing outside with them. I’m a SAHM mom to an 1 year old boy who loves animals . I’m available any time of day usually and try to spend an hour or two with the dog or cat at a time so they’re not lonely . I only care for animals in other peoples homes . I can do drop ins and if I’m house sitting for you I’ll spend a good bit of time with your animals . If I’m doing a drop in it will be for about an hour each time . If you’re worried about my son I can also bring a play pen for him
“Jonathan and Kera were great when watching Albert! They sent me lots of pictures and updates! They were very helpful in keeping up with Albert’s allergy medications and making sure he was comfortable! Definitely will book with them again!”
“I highly recommend Amber! Amber and her husband Alex took excellent care of our 2 dogs! They both gave them a lot of attention and love. Amber texted me daily with photos and fun details that put a smile on my face allowing me to relax while on vacation. They only take care of one family at a time so that is nice! Our dogs were very comfortable there. Amber has a nice backyard too.”
About: I have been watching friends and family animals for as long as I can remember. I love being able to give comfort to the animals when their parents are not able to. I do work full-time, but I’ve always been able to help out with my friends pets at least three times a day if not more when needed. I am not able to do in-home care at the client’s house-or overnight stays at my house at this time as I have an animal in my own.
About: My mom started fostering dogs when I was 2 years old, so I've been taking care of dogs my whole life! I would love to help you take care of your dog(s)! I also have experience using various no-pull harnesses and gentle leader head collars for larger dogs. I have no qualms about taking care of "controversial" breeds such as Rottweilers, Dobermans, or Pit Bulls. I'm available for morning, evening, and weekend check-ins. I'm perfectly comfortable and experienced at administering oral medications and/or taking care of senior dogs and cats. I have a fenced-in yard for frequent potty breaks and play time. Adult pets must be spayed/neutered to stay at my home. I try to keep my Rover calendar up to date so you can see when I'm available! Please reach out for any specific dates needed! Boarding: I treat your dogs like my own! They get to play outside and sleep on the furniture with my dog! I'll feed them per your schedule! Sitting: I'll try to keep the routine as normal as possible for your pets! I'll send pictures throughout the service!
“Ryne took excellent care of our puppy and we will definitely book him again. We were nervous about leaving her as she is a timid and slightly reactive rescue but Ryne understood her well. You could see her become more confident each day through the photos and videos he sent us. We’re happy we found him.”

“Kate did a wonderful job. It is obvious the cats loved her. She left everything clean and tidy. She did a great job handling the challenging conditions of a contractor coming in and out and some communication problems while I was in Africa. Two thumbs up from the cats!”
“Jake and Kate did an amazing job! They answered me right away and took my very last minute booking! They were very kind and gave me lots of updates and sent a lot of pictures, too. I could tell Andy (my cat) was having a blast with them around!”
“Alexis was great. My cats can be a bit of a handful but they handled everything wonderfully. It was my first time leaving them together for so long and Alexis went above and beyond, even going back to take a picture of the hider to relieve my anxiety. Only complaint was that a bag of litter scooping was left by the door, but that is the minorest of minor things that I’m really only mentioning it as an fyi to Alexis.”
“Absolutely amazing! She watched my 3 cats for me while I went to visit family for a week. She would send me pictures for every drop in visit, give them kitty gogurts, and play with them! She also answered fast whenever I had questions! I would absolutely recommend!”
“She did an AMAZING job with my kitty! She made him feel so loved. Kept me updated with photos and texts letting me know how he was doing. He loved her and we can't wait to book her again!”
“Erica was very detailed oriented and prompt with thorough updates and pictures. During our meet and greet she took lots of notes and asked really great questions. She was very consistent with each visit and left our home and two cats in very good hands. Our kitties loved her! I would hire her again.”
“This my second time having Brooks watch my cats, and he provides a reliable and positive experience. He made my shy kitty so comfy that she came out of hiding to interact. Highly recommend! Thanks”
“This was our first use of Rover and Laura set a high bar for anyone else. She took excellent care of our cat and gave just the right amount of updates. Enough that we knew cat was happy and eating but did remind us the entire vacation that we had a pet waiting for us. Will definitely use Rover and Laura again.”
“She is very attentive and shows my cat so much love and attention!!!!! I know my cat is taken care of properly whenever she comes over. Will definitely be rebooking!!!”
About: I've taken care of pets for over a decade in a professional and personal setting. If your pet has any special needs don't hesitate to let me know so I can provide proper medications or extra care when they need it! I currently work full time in an office setting. My schedule is the same Monday - Friday. However, I get plenty of breaks and a lunch so I can check on your babies and mine frequently throughout the day. Although crating is a beautiful practice to keep pets safe when not home, I love to allow the pets freedom to roam while I am there to monitor, with plenty of toys or puzzles! Enrichment is a great way to keep your dogs from being bored/anxious and destroying items you'd like to keep off limits.
“Second time Brittney’s watched my cat and would continue to strongly recommend her! I can tell my cat felt very comfortable around her and we will be happy to use Brittney again in the future!”

“Donna is an excellent dog sitter. She made sure our dog Maggie got a long with her other boarders and kept us posted throughout the day. We appreciated that she only boards smaller dogs as our Maggie is nervous around the big guys.”
“Blitzen had a great time playing at Roger's house for the day. I appreciate how Roger checks in with photos throughout the day and his flexibility with drop off and pick up times. Another great stay!”
“Ainsley was great! My little dog seemed completely comfortable at her home and was obviously happy when I picked him up. I definitely would recommend her as a sitter — she’s very kind, a great communicator, and clearly loves animals. Will ask her to watch my dog again. Thanks Ainsley! A+++”

“Cindy was so amazing and sweet with our dog ! We came from out of town and wanted Mocha to be able to play while we explored Omaha during the day. Cindy took the BEST care of her. Spoiled her with treats, took her on walks, and loved her. Would definitely recommended Cindy to anyone looking for a dog sitter. She sent us lots of updates so we knew she was having fun while we were off having fun.”
“Brayden, is EXCELLANT pup daycare provider. My pup, Alley-E knows when we are getting close to his home. Her tail starts wagging. It has been awesome to see the change in her. Especially, taking car rides. I noticed she is not so, nervous and her ears stand up. I know Brayden is taking great care of my baby, because he walks twice a day, feeds her and she comes home and goes to sleep when I do.

“Erica took such good care of Barney that I think he hardly knew I had left for two days! I will absolutely book Erika again in the future, and I highly recommend that you do the same.
