“Jaclyn and her family were amazing with our dog! We have nothing but positive things to say about the interaction and they were very caring and seemed to enjoy the time spent with our dog. We would absolutely recommend Jaclyn for any services in the future!”
“Jill and her family were awesome. She sent me pictures of Bailee everyday. They let her on the furniture and she got to sleep with the girls. I will definitely use Jill again”
“Dazhi was so amazing with our cat! She was giving us frequent updates and did everything to make she feel comfortable with her. I will absolutely be booking with her again in the future :)”
“Allyson was amazing!! She sent pictures during our trip and kept us updated on how Pedro was doing! He was so happy and worn out when finally got home. Thank you so much!”
“Saryna was great with my old Yorkshire Terrior Vinnie. He's a very old anxious dog but he made himself right at home. Sarina was great making sure Vinnie got his heart medicine and he made new friends. I do believe he enjoyed his stay. Thanks so much Saryna!”
“Cheryl is amazing! I was traveling from out of town and my dog can be slow to warm up but Cheryl made it very comforting and is great at communicating. She has two dogs who are fun sweeties! I would highly recommend and even return again. She’s is a dog person and makes her own dog treats, very caring pet owner/caretaker!”
“Jamie and her family were an absolute godsend! My hubby and I took a long overdue honeymoon and left our Bernedoodle, Teddy, with Jamie and her wonderful family. They were so good to him and eased our anxiety by sending daily messages with photos. He came home truly SPOILED!!!”
“Nicole was amazing! She has 3 well behaved beautiful dogs that got to play and distract Midas while we were gone. She also has some extra little hand that I am sure gave our dog so much love while we were gone! We got pictures daily! We were so happy that he was so well taken care of we would request Nicole anytime we are out of town. Highly recommend”
“Alex and his wife were wonderful!! They kept us well informed about our pets on a daily basis. Their home was clean and inviting and set up nicely for pet sitting. Our pets felt comfortable and loved. We had peace of mind knowing our furry babies were well care for. We will definitely use their services again!!”
“This was our first time using Rover so I wasn’t sure what to expect or how our dog would do. Bodhi spent 5 days with Stephanie and she was amazing! She sent pictures and updates. We would definitely send Bodhi back the next time we head out of town.”
“Ashtyn and Scott took wonderful care of our girl, Bonnie. Having just moved here to Nebraska, this was the first time our dog stayed with someone other than a friend or family member. I think she had a great time and we felt at ease while out of town knowing she was in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Andrea always takes wonderful care of our dog. Oakley is getting older, and she always makes sure Oakley is comfortable, putting rugs on slick floors and moving her bed as needed. We never have to worry about her when we leave her with Andrea.”
“The absolute best! Danielle kept us updated everyday while we were away, sent us pictures, and was flexible when our flight arrived late at night. Safe to say, Danielle will be our go-to sitter from now on!”
“Vance is the absolute best person we’ve ever had take care of our dogs! He is super friendly, reliable, and easy to work with. He reached out to me every day, sent me pics and videos of our dogs, and responded immediately every time I checked in with him. He has a beautiful house with a very high fence, which was important for us since one of our dogs is a high jumper. He even gave our dogs a bath before they came home! After meeting Vance, we never once worried about our babies. They were so well taken care of, and we loved that someone was with them 24/7. They also got to play with other dogs he was watching at the same time. It is apparent just how much Vance loves dogs, and how much dogs love Vance! We plan to always book with him in the future!”

“Alyssa was a great fit for us! I contacted Alyssa at the last minute (right before Christmas) to do drop-ins on our cats while we were traveling. I was nervous because one of our cats was throwing up a bit, and we were worried about whether or not he was going to be okay while we were gone. When I mentioned it to Alyssa, she seemed totally unfazed by the prospect of dealing with a sick cat. She sent us updates that let us know when she was here and how long she spent and was kind enough to do things I didn’t ask her to like bring in a package from the porch. Our cats were clearly well-cared for, the litter box was spotless, and the house was secure. I would absolutely hire Alyssa again.”
About: I own two cats- Suki, a three legged calico and Louie, who is a ragdoll. I spend a lot of time caring and playing with them. I even had to hand feed Suki for a few months while she recovered from a kidney infection! I am used to administering medication and working with cats unique personalities.
“Gabrielle went above and beyond our needs and expectations! She was incredibly communicative and so kind and sweet with our kitties! She even got our shy one out and cuddling with her! 10/10 and would definitely rebook again.”
“Brittany is an exceptional pet sitter. She took wonderful care of my cat and did an excellent job in every way. She was kind, attentive, reliable, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She truly went above and beyond by sending me pictures of my cat, which gave me so much peace of mind and showed how much she cared. It was clear that she genuinely loves animals and treats them with love and patience. I am very grateful for the care she provided, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my strong attention to detail, genuine love for animals, and experience with pets of all ages and needs. I have hands-on experience training puppies with basic commands and crate training, as well as providing gentle, attentive care for senior pets who may need medication, extra patience, or mobility support. I’m also highly reliable and communicative I always keep pet parents updated with messages and photos, so they feel connected and reassured while they're away. My calm, friendly approach helps pets feel safe and at ease, whether it’s their first time with a sitter or they need special care. I treat every animal like they’re my own, and that personal connection makes all the difference. Pet care fits into my daily routine as a consistent and rewarding responsibility. Every morning starts with feeding my dog and taking him for a quick walk to get some energy out before the day begins. In the evenings, I usually spend about 30 minutes either going on a longer walk or playing fetch at the park. On weekends, I make time for grooming like brushing his fur or giving him a bath if needed and sometimes schedule vet checkups or pick up new toys or treats. It’s a routine that keeps me grounded, and it’s always nice to end the day with a loyal companion by my side. When caring for pets in either my home or a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and consistent environment. For dogs, I ensure they have regular feeding times, fresh water, daily walks, and playtime to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. I also follow any specific instructions the client provides, such as administering medications or adhering to training routines. If I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s regular schedule to reduce stress from their owner's absence. I clean up after the pet, monitor behavior for signs of illness or anxiety, and send updates (with photos) to the owner for peace of mind. Whether it’s overnight care, walking, or short visits, my goal is to make each pet feel safe and loved while their owner is away.
About: I've cared for cats for friends, family, and my own pets, and I understand that every cat has a different personality and routine. I'm comfortable feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, giving plenty of playtime, and making sure cats feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. As a Certified Nursing Assistant, I'm dependable, patient, and attentive to details, so I'll carefully follow your cat's routine and keep you updated with photos and messages during each visit.
About: I’ve been around cats my whole life, giving me years of experience caring for them. I can do anything you wish: feeding, brushing, playing, cleaning their litter box, etc. I would definitely consider myself a cat person and would love the opportunity to meet you and your cat!
“I've never hired anyone to look after the cats before. I've always relied on my elderly mother to take care of them while I'm away. The thought of having a stranger in my home while I'm gone made me feel uncomfortable but I wanted piece of mind in knowing that if mom faced any health concerns that the cats would still get care until I return home. Melissa was at the top of the list, on Rover, for people in my area so I read the reviews left by her past clients and decided that she was worth a gamble. Before I went out of town, she came out to meet us and I showed her around the house. She was present at all the times we agreed on and sent a daily note and pictures of them when she could. (They used to be feral and love to hide from strangers.) I hope Melissa is available the next time I go out of town. I'm thoroughly pleased with her service and hope this review helps her to get more clients that may have a situation similar to mine.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, I have experience caring for multiple breeds and sizes. I’m comfortable with energetic dogs and calm ones! I treat every pet like there my own by making sure they are safe and taken care of. I’m reliable and responsible and would love to meet your pets!! I work part time for my family’s business which gives me a flexible schedule and lots of availability for pet sitting!! I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life so I have experience with multiple breeds. I love to be active so dog walks and drop ins fit perfectly into my day. I live in a townhome with a backyard which gives pets a perfect space to have outdoor time. I also have a friendly dog who loves meeting new dogs. I make sure pets are introduced in a safe way and your pet follows their specific routine daily.
About: We have always had animals growing up. There has never been a time in my life where I was not caring for an animal. I’ve had experience with so many breeds, both big and small, young and old! My wife and I frequently care for others’ animals as if they were our own because we just love animals as much as they love us! My wife and I are a pet watching duo! She works part time and I work full time, but between our schedules there is always room in morning, midday, and evening! We understand that animals all have different personalities so we approach with caution and confidence, and establish trust in the pet before anything else! From there, it just takes either affection, treats, proper attention to detail, and understanding to give the best care.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was little. I grew up with three little bichon poodle puppies. I now have a Catahoula Leopard Dog of my own. I currently work at starbucks, and soon I’ll be starting to attend ASU online for Pre Veterinary Medicine.

About: Loving dog and human mom who has taken care of dogs, birds, cats, and Guinea pigs since age 10. Wanting to open our home to your pets when you have a weekend away. Will provide love and treats 🙃 Currently available for boarding Friday-Sundays, and holiday weekends. Available for other random days upon request.

About: I have taken care of dogs most of life, six dogs in total. Most recently I had a German Shepherd, Australian Cattle dog mix name Waylan. I started with Rover over 4 years ago and have sat for over 50 clients and 82 pets. To name a few I have taken care of Pit Terriers, Bull Terriers, Australian Cattle Dogs, Great Dane, Bearded Collies, Bearded Dragon, Mice, Hedgehog, and many cats. All from different families and all in-home stays. I consider myself an observant and knowledgeable animal lover. When it comes to special skills, I have experience training and administering medicine. My work schedule is M-F, 8:30 to 5pm in-office. Outside of those hours, I spend with your pets. Despite working full-time in-office, the happiness and safety of your pets is still my number one concern. I am looking forward to the care and attention I can give your pets in their home environment. I have experience taking care of dogs on farms, in apartments, and town homes.
“This was my very first time using anything like Rover to help take care of my dog partner. Olivia Maximilianus lived up to, and beyond, any expectations I ever had; performing with brilliant helpfulness. Providing professional service above any idea of which that I had going into the situation of needing help feeding my four-legged relative, while I traveled. With the sonic intuition of a bat soaring through the night, she knew what I needed before I could even think of it. With the professional and timely voice of mourning dove, she was prompt and unbelievably reliable. With the cool and calm discipline of a crow crossing a wire over a field of peace lilies, bluegrasses, and dandelions, she left my home and space in a cleaner and more organised way than I had left it. And with the resilience and dedication of V-formed geese, my four-legged family was exercised and engaged in such a good way. Evidenced in her calm and content energy in my return home. Reminding me of the words from my favourite poet, Mary Oliver, in the last verse of her poem titled, October: “One morning the fox came down the hill, glittering and confident, and didn’t see me- and I thought: so this is the world. I’m not in it. It is beautiful.””
About: I have taken care of cows, sheep, and a dog or two on my family’s farm. I moved to Fremont, NE for my job but miss getting a lot of time outside and working with animals. I can’t have a dog at my apartment and am looking for some emotional and physical exercise with man’s (and woman’s) best friend. I’m willing to walk in rain, snow or shine. I am willing to learn and am capable of following detailed instructions. This profile requires a certain amount of words but I hope you would be willing to give me a chance for my actions to speak louder than my words. I currently work a 8-4 job with some travel. For the summer I am unavailable on the weekends but will be back with a more available schedule this fall. I want the pet to feel comfortable around me. The more information you can share about your environment/the pet’s regular environment the better for me.

“Kati took GREAT care of Emma while we were away for a day. Emma was spayed a couple of days ago and needed extra special care/meds and Kati didn’t even second guess taking care of her! We will DEFINITELY book her again!”
“Jackie was great! Very flexible with my changes in hours and sent pictures/updates throughout the day. You can tell she really loves dogs and takes great care of them while you're away 😊”
“My Golden Retriever puppy absolutely loved his doggy daycare time with Liz and her crew of animals. He came home exhausted and happy from the day's activities. Liz was great about sending photos and videos to keep me updated throughout the day. Won't hesitate to use her again in the future!”
About: I've watched dogs of friends and family on and off for the past 11 years. It's been a mix of older dogs, young dogs, large and small. I do require proof of vaccinations and licensing. I'm a stay at home mom. Our pets are rarely home alone for more than a couple hours at a time a couple days each week. I have a fenced in yard and friendly pooch with loads of toys to share. Our dog has unlimited access to the yard as long as I am home. A water dish is always out and available. We do have a cat who free ranges around the house, but she tends to make herself scarce when other dogs are in the house.
“Erin does a wonderful job keeping in touch throughout the day and sending pictures of Milo’s activities. She makes sure he gets some walks in and numerous naps and lots of love.”
“Garth and Tracy were amazing! We were in the area for a family reunion and were struggling with what to do with our puppy for a large part of the day. Garth and Tracy were kind enough to accept a next day booking for us and did a wonderful job caring for Gus. He seemed very happy when we picked him up and we were so relieved to be able to leave Gus somewhere where we did not need to worry about him at all. If we ever find ourselves back in the area or have friends/family that need help with their dog nearby, Garth and Tracy will be our first choice.”
“Alex and Sarah was great for the first day!! They let me set up a meet and greet with there two doggos, George and Milo, beforehand! Received a few photos of Winston (my dog) and George throughout the day! They are going to be besties! I will be using them full time for the future!”
“Jayda was well cared for with Katie. She made herself right at home and made a new friend (Scarlett). I would definitely recommend Katie and plan to return with Jayda in the future.”
“Mark did a great job taking care of our dog Boo. Boo was always excited to see Mark when we dropped him off for daycare. Mark sent several pictures every day, which we loved seeing. We will definitely use Mark again.”
About: Your pup must be respectful of cats please. I completely understand curiosity, just not stalking or chasing. I took so much care of our lab when she was 15 and had Cushings. I definitely have a sweet spot for senior pets. She has since crossed the 🌈. Max is our 5 yr old Husky/Lab mix and he's our sweet big boy. We have love for big and small dogs! We have a huge grassy 6 and 4 ft fenced in yard (we connected to our neighbors 4 ft fence - see pictures) and Max would seriously love a friend to play with or just chill with. My husband and I work from home so one of us will be home all the time. We usually go on a mid morning walk and an evening walk, weather permitting. My kids are 11 and 16 and adore animals. We have a cat, Freddy, who loves Max. We will love your pet like they were our own ♥️ My husband and I work from home full-time. Our dog has separation anxiety so one of us will be home when your pet is here! We have a 6 and 4 ft privacy fence, large grassy backyard. Max gets on the leather couch but not our fabric couch or bed. He doesn't ever try. We wake up early to feed Max at 7 so early mornings is a non issue in our house! We typically go on 2 short walks a day (15-20 min). We're a chill household.

About: No stranger to the busy lifestyle of owning pets. A household of dogs, a kitty cat, and farm animals help to keep my experience fresh! Every job since age 16 has been in the animal care industry. From vet clinic, to specialty boutique, to doggie daycare management. Animals truly are my passion. I would love to share that care with your pups! A mid day ear scratch, belly rub, or quick walk around the block! I’m fortunate that my full time work schedule allows me to offer an afternoon potty or a walk around to stretch those legs. Fresh air does wonders! I live on a farm with a few acres that allows my personal dogs to run and romp around. We also head to the lake near our house to walk the trails up there to get some sniffs outside just our yard. My dogs are my kids so their care comes above everything else.

“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: 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!

About: I am a wildlife veterinarian that enjoys spending time with any and all pets! I have two cats at home that I love dearly. Our favorite things are treats, backpack walks, bubble time, and cat naps. I have cared for the shy, fearful shelter dog to the playful, rowdy puppy to the kitten with the zoomies to the elderly cat that prefers peace and quiet. I look forward to meeting you and spending time with your pet(s)! I have committed to a career in animal health. I am here to give pets love and attention while their owners are away during the day. I look forward to filling my weekends caring for your pets! I have two cats at home therefore I cannot care for your pets in my own home. However, in your homes, I will follow instructions provided. Communication is key to safe, trusted pet care.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, especially large breeds like German Shepherds and St. Bernards, so I’m very comfortable with dogs of all sizes. I’m also a professional dog groomer with two years of experience, which has helped me understand dog behavior and care on a deeper level. I’m comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, temperaments and energy levels! I’ve dog sat for family and friends many times, handling feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure their pets feel safe and loved while they’re away. I treat every animal like they’re part of my family. I work 10-hour shifts with three days off each week, but I always make time to ensure your pets are well cared for, including walks, potty breaks, and attention. You can trust that I’ll treat your pets like my own and keep them happy, safe, and comfortable. I currently work part time and nanny on the side. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays I work 9-5. I am usually available for sure Saturdays and Sundays. Tuesdays and Thursdays I nanny till 12 so I’m available anytime after that, but I always will find time to play, feed and let your dogs out to go potty! I will care for your pets as I care for my own. Animals hold a very dear place in my heart so I will treat them like my own and take care of them to my best abilities from walking them to playing with them outside.
About: I am always available to help you and your furry children! And I love doing it too! I have watched dogs in the past, more for favors than anything, but pets are my passion and I would love to be your choice for a walker/sitter/overnight companion to all the dogs and their awesome owners! We could go to the dog park if you wanted us to, or just stay at home and go on walks and spend some great quality time together. Treats always included! You won’t ever have to worry about your little (or big!) loved one when they’re with me because I promise to provide outstanding care! With me, they’ll get nothing but love and a great new friend and I can’t wait to meet y’all!

“Ashtyn and Scott took wonderful care of our girl, Bonnie. Having just moved here to Nebraska, this was the first time our dog stayed with someone other than a friend or family member. I think she had a great time and we felt at ease while out of town knowing she was in good hands. Highly recommend!”

“Vance is the absolute best person we’ve ever had take care of our dogs! He is super friendly, reliable, and easy to work with. He reached out to me every day, sent me pics and videos of our dogs, and responded immediately every time I checked in with him. He has a beautiful house with a very high fence, which was important for us since one of our dogs is a high jumper. He even gave our dogs a bath before they came home! After meeting Vance, we never once worried about our babies. They were so well taken care of, and we loved that someone was with them 24/7. They also got to play with other dogs he was watching at the same time. It is apparent just how much Vance loves dogs, and how much dogs love Vance! We plan to always book with him in the future!”
