“Ashlee was great! Our sweet Raven warmed right up to her and her family, and was treated like one of their own fur babies. Ashlee was wonderful when our trip got extended by almost a full day, and kept us updated with pictures and videos. Would love to let Raven stay again in the future!”

“Traci is awesome! She took my dog in last min cause I had to go to a funeral and took great care of her. She sent photos daily and allow me to extend. Her family and home is very welcoming. Will definitely rebook with her.”

“Super friendly, beautiful home on top of it all has frenchies. So very knowledgeable about this type of breed. Next vacation I will be using her. Was updated everyday about my Berkie and didn’t have to worry about my fur baby, thank you so much”

“Bethany made our dog feel right at home. He had a tough first night and Bethany stayed up with him until he fell asleep. She also updated us with pictures throughout the stay which was very kind. Great job, will use her again!”


“Cecilia is a wonderful pup sitter! She's warm and accommodating of the dogs in her care and her home is very clean. She also keeps a practical limit to the number of dogs she's willing to care for. A gem!”

“Bob is absolutely incredible. He took amazing care of our pup, was flexible with timing, sent us updated while we were away & was so kind. Our dog loves him & we can’t wait to rebook with him!”

“Milo had the very best time this week! He was cared for so well and has been missing Maya very much since he came back home. We can't recommend Jessica and Robert enough and look forward to using their services again the next time we go out of town!”

“Gabby and her family did an excellent job caring for and looking after Cooper for a night and day. They provided ample stimulation through backyard activities with other dogs and children. She sent nice videos/photos of Cooper letting me know he was doing okay and was timely in her communications. I would definitely go back again.”

“Amanda and Rachel always take such good care of Pepper! She even came back with a paw print/nose print ornament. She loves going to boarding with Amanda, Rachel, & their family.”

About: I’ve had a dog in the home for almost my entire life, and got my first on my own during Covid to have a friend around 😊 My second dog moved in two years ago. I work full-time from home, so, other than leaving once a day for working out at the gym, my schedule is flexible to fit around your pet’s needs. I have a fenced yard and two dogs who love to play. I allow dogs on the furniture and have a gate to prevent them from getting downstairs. My neighborhood is quiet and great for walks.
“Autumn was great with our black Lab for a long weekend away. She sent updates with pics and videos. I felt like she spoiled our dog with lots of love and attention! Easy drop off and pick up. She definitely cares for your pet like they were her own.”

About: I grew up on a farm in Southwest Iowa and always had animals surround me! Inside dogs, outside dogs, inside cats, outside cats, I take care them all! I have three dogs of my own who I love dearly! I’ve had cats and dogs growing up and have also worked as a kennel attendant throughout high school and then worked as a vet assistant for 3 years! I work full time as a CNA at the hospital in Red Oak! I do work 12’s so on the days I work I can let out early morning and late at night! But I have three days off and most weekends!! I’d love to meet you and your pets!! My dogs get kenneled during the day and obviously if I’m home I let them roam the house! Or we go for walks and get outside!! My personal dogs get fed 2 times a day and get their monthly prevention for heartworm and fleas and ticks!

About: I've lived with several cats of varying ages for many years. I have a 2 year old domestic long hair and she is my baby. I understand how sensitive cats can be to different routines and will always do my best to accommodate to make your absence as easy for the cat as possible.

About: I have had several cats throughout life & know how complex & loving these animals are. Cats are animals that require boundaries & understanding communication. While cats can be very easy-going, they also can be very sensitive. I have had experience with tons of different cat personalities & like to consider myself a “cat whisperer”. I love to snuggle & love on any & all kitties! But I also understand that some cats are independent & are not very affectionate, which is totally ok! Rest assured knowing your cat(s) are taken well care of while you are away. I will respect their boundaries & make sure they feel safe & taken care for! :)
“Linda provided excellent care for my cat while I was away and was very good about sending photos and videos. I will definitely hire Linda again to check in on my cat.”


“My fur baby loved Rachel! I had her come do drop ins at my house while I was on vacation. She sent me lots of pics and videos while I was away & she took care of locking my house back up and kept everything just how I left it. Definitely recommend! It’s hard to trust a stranger with your pet(s) but I will definitely be booking Rachel again.”

About: I’ve been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember. I’m patient and love to go on walks as much as possible. Available on weekends and some evenings. I may be available for walks and check ins during the week so long as I have a notice. Animals in my home are loved and cared for. They will stay busy and entertained but also have plenty of time to relax and be comfortable.

About: I have experience caring for cats of all ages, from curious kittens to laid-back adults. I’m comfortable with feeding, litter box care, playtime, and giving plenty of love and attention to make sure your cat feels safe and happy while you’re away.
“Sheri was amazing while I was away! She made sure to update me with pictures everytime, and Luka was definitely happy with the service as well! Will definitely be reaching out again for stays in the future.”

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 Veterinary student. I have been working in pet clinics in a while and I know how to get along with most of the dogs. I have reatriced times for job because I have to do homework and other stuff but If we are going to have an appointment, I’ll make sure that your pet is going to be fine. I also have CPR knowledge about animals (not only dogs), so leave your pet to me and I will take care of it. I am also doing a research on dogs life style, so working this job will also give me a chance to do a research and have a good chance of getting my research approved by my college. I am also a Basketball player for my college so I can match intensity with your pet.
About: I know how to care for dogs and cats from 8 weeks and older! I used to live with a corgi, orange tabby and a husky/German shepherd mix. I currently own two cats of my own! My neighbors and friends have relied on me to walk and feed their pets. I currently work full-time overnights. I am available to walk/feed/check on your pets in the morning between 7:30am- 9am as well as in the evening from 5-9:30pm. Every other weekend I am completely free I will only do what is asked of me. If you only want me touching your pet and their leash I can very well do that. If you would like me to feed your pet before anything else I can certainly do that. I am very accommodating and respectful of others! I am currently looking for ways find extra money on the side, I work two jobs but will always find time to see your animals:) I am gentle loving while also giving the best care for your animals while you are out of town! I am more than happy to help :)

About: My name is Claire and I am a PA student at Creighton University! I am 26 and moved from Steamboat Springs, CO where I watched many furry friends through Rover and absolutely loved doing it! I am originally from Chicago and love doing anything outdoors such as skiing and running, but also love ending the day nice and cozy watching a movie or reading a book. More importantly, I love dogs of all ages and would love to care for your awesome dog! I had a labradoodle for 15 years growing up whom I adored and sadly cannot have a dog of my own at this stage of my life, but am looking for a buddy to care for to get my fix!

I hope to hear from you soon! Your dog needs a good buddy while you are away and I really hope that person is me! I am a full time student in Omaha, but have lots of breaks throughout the day to give your pet lots of love! While school will be hectic, you can be assured that I will take your pet on a lot of exercise when I am home (If they are up for it) as it is a great break for me in my studies. I will feed, walk, and play with your pets! I love animals and live in a pet-friendly area where I have easy access to walking/running trails.

“Frankie had so much fun AGAIN! He loves going to Crystals playing with all his friends. She takes such good care of him while he is there we never have to worry about him ❤️❤️”

“Ashley is amazing and takes great care of my dog. He is exercised appropriately and he really enjoys going to her house. She is flexible and always sends me lots of pictures and videos which I love! Her personal pets are super friendly and my Clinger loves to play with them!!”

“Melody was very easy to communicate with, she was very attentive to Buddy and his needs. Accommodating in our unpredictable schedule while we were in the area was a pleasure for us.”

“Joan is an excellent dog sitter and I would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs. She was great to communicate with leading up to the stay, and kept us informed through texts and pictures of how Mia was doing while she was there. Mia was worn out after her day of fun at Joan's house. We will definitely reach out to her again for our future needs!”

“Jennifer took such great care of our energetic pup! It was so nice to know Willow was being well loved & cared for. Jennifer sent a great report card each day and Willow was always worn out when we picked her up. Willow can’t wait for her next play date with Jennifer’s pup & attention from her family.”

About: *Please note I'm only offering services Bellevue* Hello! We are a Veteran Air Force family who loves animals. I have cared for many senior dogs and puppy mill rescues. I can provide a quiet and patient environment for them. Our home is pet and child free. I'm always available for potty breaks, daily walks, on time feeding schedule & lots of spoiling by treating your dogs like my own. Since the passing of our last pet, we are currently a pet-free home. This gives me all the time to care for your beloved furry family members. I'm comfortable kenneling dogs per your instructions. I am happy to walk your dog as needed also.

About: We have love and snuggles to offer your fur baby while you are away. We have a large fenced in yard, with plenty of room for zoomies. A large couch for all the snuggles.

“Ainsley was amazing with our mini golden doodle, Rosie! She was available for our last minute doggie day care request. We spent the day at the zoo and needed somewhere for our dog to hang out. Ainsley is just a few minutes away, so it worked out perfectly. I highly recommend Ainsley and will definitely use her again next time we’re passing through Omaha!”

About: I’ve spent the past 11 years loving and caring for my three pups—Dori (11), Sammy (9), and Gracie (3). We’ve been through all the stages together—from puppy potty training and teething chaos to senior snuggles and slow walks. I know every pet has their own quirks and comforts, and I do my best to make them feel right at home. Whether it’s walks, playtime, belly rubs, or cuddle sessions, your furry friend will get all the love and attention they deserve while you’re away! As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time for playtime, walks, and potty breaks throughout the day. I’m available for boarding or doggy day care any day of the week, so your pup will always have company and attention! Whether they love to nap, play, or go on adventures, I’ll make sure they get the care and routine they’re used to. Your pup will feel right at home here! We’re a busy, happy household with three friendly dogs and two sweet kiddos (ages five and two) — plus a new baby on the way! So visiting dogs get plenty of love, attention, and playmates, both furry and human. All of our dogs and children are wonderful with other animals. Our home has a fully fenced backyard that’s perfect for safe running and playtime. Inside, there are cozy dog beds, soft blankets, and plenty of toys to keep tails wagging. For pups who need their own quiet space, we also have two x-large crates available. I always make safety my top priority and take time to learn each pet’s comfort level with kids and other dogs. Whether your pup loves to play or prefers a calm, quiet spot, I’ll make sure they feel secure, comfortable, and cared for every step of the way.

“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.”

About: My passion for caring for animals from a very young age! My Grandparents and parents were very influential in teaching me to love and care for them and how to read their body language, most specifically, my dad. I started when I was 15 years old when I owned 3 dogs: two German shepherds and a Pitbull. Throughout my life, I also owned 2 Weimaraners, and an incredible Basset Hound. His name was Hank, and recently passed away being 12 years old. I work remotely as a Project Controller, which is perfect as it provides a lot of flexibility. During my free time, I love hanging out with my family and friends, going on walks, going to the beach, and watching the sunset with my spouse. I also like learning something new and challenging, reading a good book, working out, dancing, and cooking! If you trust me with your dog, she/he may be learning a new language! I work remotely, which is perfect as it provides a lot of flexibility as well as allows me spend more time taking care of my dog as well of others. Doing daily walks, play games, giving them some love! I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I can crate your dog if you prefer and make other accommodations as needed.
About: Our Weimaraner keeps us active with daily hikes and play time in the yard. I am very particular with the care provided to him so I understand the importance of meeting your expectations. My husband and I raised Siberian Huskies for 6 years and couldn’t imagine our home without a canine companion. I am excited to provide others with the care I desire for my own! I am a teacher looking for a flexible schedule to stay busy throughout the summer and breaks. I enjoy staying active and love experiencing breeds of varying sizes, ages, and energy requirements. Our Weimaraner thrives on socializing with other dogs and will keep the play time interesting. We have a large crate available if necessary. Although we do not have a fenced in yard we have a tie out as well as a membership to the nearby dog park. We travel with our dog and will take yours along, too!

“Samantha was so kind and helpful. We needed a dog sitter for a couple hours in the middle of a road trip from Colorado to Illinois, and she took great care of our pup (who can be a little nervous about new places) and had great communication. Plus, she made sure our dog got plenty of exercise before the next leg of our drive!”

“Our dog, Bella, comes home happy from Bethany's house. She gets some quality time and play with other dogs and with children. She doesn't get that at home with two old people. Thank you, Bethany!”

About: Hello, my name is Faith! I grew up around exceptional dogs and lifelong animal care through my mom’s award-winning breeding and show dog business. From puppy care to understanding different temperaments and routines, I’ve had hands-on experience my whole life — giving your dog attentive, knowledgeable, and personalized care in a safe, loving environment.

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.
“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 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.

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: 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: I have had a personal doggy care system for about 6 years. I tend to do a lot of house sitting because I want your animal to feel safe and comfortable in their environment. My business primarily has been through word of mouth but I have taken care of little fur babies from old to young, I also can give meds to any dog, no matter the issues; I’ve worked with epileptic dogs to dogs with heart issues, truly I don’t mind! I’ve worked with anxious dogs/cats to aggressive dogs/cats. I am a dog nanny to my sisters 3 dogs now, they brighten my day, daily! I absolutely love animals and hope to help yours! I work full time from home with a very flexible schedule. I am able to let out/walk your little ones at any and all times of the day. I don’t need much heads up, as long as I can get there, I’m able to stay as long or take them to parks, on car rides, etc. I have a pretty big fenced yard and 3 friendly dogs at home, one small and two medium, all very friendly to keep any fur baby company. I am comfortable house sitting as well, I also can crate if needed. I believe in providing comfort and creating a low stress environment for your baby!

“Ashlee was great! Our sweet Raven warmed right up to her and her family, and was treated like one of their own fur babies. Ashlee was wonderful when our trip got extended by almost a full day, and kept us updated with pictures and videos. Would love to let Raven stay again in the future!”

“Bob is absolutely incredible. He took amazing care of our pup, was flexible with timing, sent us updated while we were away & was so kind. Our dog loves him & we can’t wait to rebook with him!”

“Milo had the very best time this week! He was cared for so well and has been missing Maya very much since he came back home. We can't recommend Jessica and Robert enough and look forward to using their services again the next time we go out of town!”

“Gabby and her family did an excellent job caring for and looking after Cooper for a night and day. They provided ample stimulation through backyard activities with other dogs and children. She sent nice videos/photos of Cooper letting me know he was doing okay and was timely in her communications. I would definitely go back again.”

“Amanda and Rachel always take such good care of Pepper! She even came back with a paw print/nose print ornament. She loves going to boarding with Amanda, Rachel, & their family.”

“Autumn was great with our black Lab for a long weekend away. She sent updates with pics and videos. I felt like she spoiled our dog with lots of love and attention! Easy drop off and pick up. She definitely cares for your pet like they were her own.”

“Our dog had so much fun! Maria and her family took amazing care of her and were so warm and welcoming. They made her feel like part of their family, going out of their way to give her extra walks and treats. Definitely would recommend!”

“Ricky was so accommodating and communicative! Always a bonus to meet another doodle parent! Piper had a great time and came home sleepy, rather than anxious and out of sorts. I know my girl and this tells me she had a great time but didn’t feel nervous or uncomfortable. Will definitely be booking again!”

“Meghan was amazing! She treated Boomer and Bugsy like her own—welcoming them into her family with so much love and care. They got tons of attention, outdoor playtime, a pup cup treat run, and she sent us lots of sweet photos along the way. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Highly recommend!”

“Brittany was great! She let us stop by and meet her ahead of time. She did a wonderful job taking care of our 11 wk old puppy. She sent photos and updates to us throughout his stay there so we always knew how things were going. I plan to reach back out to her the next time I need a dog sitter!”

“Sydni is absolutely amazing! We recently went on vacation and boarded our dog with her, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the love and care she provided. From the moment we dropped him off, she treated him like her own, giving him so much attention, cuddles, and playtime. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us such peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. It’s rare to find someone so trustworthy and genuine, but Sydni truly goes above and beyond. Our dog came home relaxed, healthy, and full of joy, clearly having had a wonderful time with her. I would recommend Sydni to anyone looking for someone dependable, loving, and attentive to their pets. We will definitely be coming back to her for any future boarding or pet-sitting needs!”

About: Teacher here that will be on summer break! Have a lot of experience mostly with dogs, and experience with training as well. No kids in my household, just two adults with one mini Poodle, she’s a 13 year old granny, that just wants to sleep. She is friendly and gets along with other dogs. Have a backyard with a lot of space to run around and play :) Being home full-time for summer break allows me to go on multiple walks a day and be able to provide plenty of attention to your pup! I have a fenced yard, 5 feet tall, plenty of space and also plenty of space in the home. There are no kids in my home, only two adults (my husband and I). We have a clean home and have plenty of space for the dogs to play.
