“Jackie always does a fantastic job when watching my dog. There was some bad weather while she had Kiko and she let me know right away that they were all safe and that Kiko was in the basement with them. She sent updates and pictures throughout the weekend, and I always know Kiko is having fun and getting lots of love when he goes to Jackie's!”
“Bailey was amazing with Ayla! She spent two days with her and had such a great time—lots of playing outside and a calm, happy environment. I could tell Ayla felt comfortable and well cared for the whole time.”
“Jamie was the best! Her entire family embraced Harper and she sent pictures everyday. It was so nice to be able to enjoy our travels w/o worrying about our dog. Our dog loves children too, and Jamie has three very sweet children. Jamie was also very flexible and supportive when we had car issues that delayed our return. Both my husband and I were very appreciative.”
“Grateful for Jamie and Daniel. They keep us updated with pictures. Very responsive. I am glad tuffy enjoyed her stay there and made friends with their dogs. :)”
“Jenny and her family were quite wonderful with Harper! Olivia played with her quite a bit, and the other kids looks like they also had some good interaction. Jenny was quite flexible with our plans as they changed more than once, and we really appreciated that. We will definitely book with the family again.”
“Wonderful overall experience - for us and the dogs. Having the dogs there for only 24 hours, we were glad that they settled in and slept through the night. Great communication; getting photos of the dogs settling in was a plus for worried parents. Highly recommend. Dogs got on well with the "house dogs" so there was no drama.”
“A++++++ My first time using Rover.com and I cannot say enough high praises for our dog boarder, Torey!! She sent daily pics of my girls and their daily activities. And gave me notes on how their day had went. It really put my mind at ease. And my pups loved her!! Thank you, Torey!!”
“Justine & Justin did a wonderful job with shandy may! They sent plenty of photos to ease my mind while I was away! Shandy had a blast in the fenced in yard and with their dog Max!,”
“Teddy loves going to Dazhi’s! I always have total peace of mind knowing he’s so well cared for and showered with love. He comes home happy every time — which says it all. 🐾”
“Stacy was amazing! We were just travelling through Lincoln and she made Lulu feel right at home so we could go to the NF concert on our travels! Such a great experience, I highly recommend her!”
“Anja was wonderful with our dog Nyla! Nyla got lots of exercise and loving care when she stayed with Anja. Nyla reportedly behaved well and got along great with Anja’s two dogs. I got pictures and sometimes videos of Nyla’s antics. Although we missed her while we were away, I knew Nyla was I. Good hands with Anja.”
“Our poodle had a wonderful stay and enjoyed playing with Cheryl's two dogs. Cheryl sent pics of the dogs and my family loved the updates. We hope to have our dog stay with Cheryl in the future! Thanks for a great weekend, Cheryl!”
“Andrea was super communicative from the start and made us feel 100% comfortable leaving our pups! We got to meet up and make sure we were all comfortable, we got updates on the dogs throughout the week, and pick up afterwards was super easy! Extremely flexible and professional. We would feel very confident trusting Andrea with our dogs in the future!”
“Bethany and her family took great care of Lacey! I felt very comfortable leaving her in their care. I appreciated the flexibility in drop of and pick up times. The photos and updates were great!”
“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”

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!
“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: 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 always have had cats since I was little and love cats with all my heart. My cat is a female orange tabby cat named raja, and she is my absolute world! She has had medical problems in the past so I can do anything medical and yes I do clean litter boxes.
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.

About: I love cats and all of their idiosyncrasies. I have owned cats all of my life and what I love about them is that no two cats are alike. I truly appreciate a cat and what they have to offer to the table. I am the one to play with your cat, curl up with a good book, and have them on my lap.

About: I have been around animals my whole life. I have bottle raised several newborn kittens. Over the years I have owned multiple cats, currently having two of my own. There’s also been several times where I stayed at houses for weeks at a time tending to their cats and all their needs.
“We’ve used Maddie a number of times since getting our lab puppy in the winter. She’s always been reliable and good with him - from when he was a little monster to a big one! I would definitely recommend her!”
“Celeste was an amazing cat sitter! Went above and beyond expectations and was in regular contact with me while I was away. When I returned home, my cats were obviously very well taken care of and my apartment looked just as I had left it! Cannot recommend Celeste enough. Incredibly appreciative of her willingness to watch my pets and keep me updated while on vacation.”

“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.”
About: Owned dogs all my life with experience from puppy to end of life. I truly believe our pets are part of the family and should be treated as such I often work from home with a lot of flexibility. I am up early and stay up late so can be accommodating to many schedules I do not have a fenced yard, I leash walk animals regularly. Historically with my own dogs I have underground fencing. Safety and attention are my concerns for animals
“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!”
“Can’t say enough about how pleased we were with how much Jamie is a wonderful dog caregiver. We have a very active Springer Spaniel that is still in puppy mode and in new surroundings is very much on the move checking out everything. Jamie & Dans home is setup perfectly for pets with all types of personalities. She even took the time to introduce our dog to cats. We’ve been looking for a River home that makes our dog comfortable and accommodating to a dog with separation anxiety and a need for attention plus the ability to mix with other pets and people. Can’t wait for the next time for our dog to have another visit.”
“We needed last minute care for our Golden while visiting Nebraska and Eliza was great! Maisie had a wonderful time playing with other pups and Eliza was great at communicating, especially with such short notice. Thanks again!”
About: I’m a proud pet mom to both a dog and a cat, so I understand the unique needs and personalities of each. I treat every pet like my own—with patience, love, and lots of attention. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or sticking to a routine, I make sure your pets feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I also offer weekend availability, perfect for those quick getaways! I am a student so I have plenty of time! Specially on weekends. I have my dog and my cat already and they would love to make new friends I just moved to a house and it’s just my husband and I with our cat and dog and they are super friendly with other animals and we all love cuddle time
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'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.
“Keeley was awesome! I needed daycare last minute and she responded instantly. Winnie came home ready to snooze and was so excited to go back the next day. Keeley kept me updated with cute pictures of her and Goose that made me laugh. I will definitely be using Keeley and Ethen again!”
“Maizy came home a happy dog. She was happy to see me at he end of the day but seemed happy to hang out a while longer too. She met new friends, played hard, and came home with tired paws. I think Stacy, Pearl, and Fred are beloved friends now.”
“Would happily book here again! Alissa did a great job and responded quickly to all my messages. Banjo was a very happy and very tired boy when he got home :)”
“Ann is such a Godsend to us! She took good care of our 2 baby girls 🐾🐾. They loved her and had a wonderful time. We feel so blessed to have found such a warm, kindhearted, and trustworthy person to look after our precious babies! 💖🙏🏻 Thank you so much, Ann! ☺️”
“Erin was PHENOMENAL with our small cavapoo pup!! She kept us informed and sent a lot of pictures and he was spoiled with love of the time he was with her and the family. She even made him. A little bandanna, how sweet!!! We WILL be back and feel very fortunate to have her help!! Thank you so much!”
“Amy….you were so welcoming to our little Wolfie! I could see from the video you sent how much fun he had there..never imaged he would be so confident and comfortable. I am SO THANKFUL we selected you from all the Rover Sitters we could have chosen!”

About: I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, from chihuahuas to great danes. As an animal lover, I enjoy making connections with every dog I meet. I’m very reliable and would love the opportunity to walk your dog! I’m currently working part-time at a retail job, where I work 1-2 times a week.

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated dog sitter passionate about providing loving and attentive care for your furry friends. I understand that every dog has unique needs and routines, so I tailor my services to keep them happy, comfortable, and safe while you’re away. Whether it’s a quick visit or an extended stay, I’m flexible and reliable, ensuring your pet gets plenty of playtime, exercise, and cuddles. I’d love to hear about your dog’s personality and preferences—let’s chat and make sure your pup feels right at home with me! Tuesday and Thursday afternoons are my preferred times for meet and greets, but I’m always happy to be flexible and accommodate other times when needed. I start my day early with a 5am job and work another job at 10pm, but I always make sure to set aside quality time for your pup! When dog sitting at my place or yours, I take days off from my night job so I can be there most of the time. I’ll still work my morning job, but only until 1pm, ensuring I’m available to give your dog the care and attention they deserve. I have a dog too, so to keep both pets safe, I always make sure they have a proper introduction first. I’d never leave them alone together and will keep a close eye on your pup at all times! At night, we use a downstairs area connected to my bedroom for some quiet time. We also have a 4ft fenced backyard where your pup can run and play freely, plus plenty of toys to keep them entertained!
“Amanda has been amazing with our puppy. She has gone above and beyond to make sure our little guy is taken care of. We have been using her for two weeks now and appreciate all her help and time.”
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!
About: I love being active with my dogs and participating in weekly activities with them, including agility and obedience training. Dogs need to be physically and mentally stimulated daily for their health and well-being. I am a newly retired teacher of 32 years. I have a completely open schedule and want to fill it with my favorite thing in the world...DOGS! I am a huge walker and love to have furry friends to accompany me. I am very flexible and can make most times work, so please don't hesitate to ask. I also love ALL sizes and breeds of dogs, at my house we have a 13-year-old Morkie named Mollie and a 1-year-old Bouvier named Bert who weighs 95 pounds. My open schedule allows me flexibility for drop-ins to check in on your fur babies. I worked for many years as a teacher and spent so much time worrying about my pets at home; do they need a potty break? Are they lonely? Do they have water? I want you to feel comfortable while your pet/s are at home alone, and am happy to help out however; this can include feeding, walking, or just cuddling. I want to be able to give you peace of mind that your pet is being cared for, so you can focus on your job or commitment.
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong love and experience with animals. Growing up on a farm taught me patience and responsibility, and I’ve cared for pets of all sizes and temperaments. I offer puppy training basics, gentle senior pet care, and medication support when needed. Most importantly, I provide consistent, loving attention so your pets feel safe, happy, and at home while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work part time, which leaves me plenty of flexibility. I’m available most days of the week to give animals consistent care, attention, and companionship. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping pets company, I can easily adjust my schedule to meet their needs. In my home, I make sure pets have a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of love, play, and attention. Walks, feedings, and cuddle time are always part of the routine. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely to keep pets on their normal schedule—whether that means meals, walks, medications, or bedtime routines—so they feel secure and cared for in their familiar space.
“Ruby gives her two paws up and a huge tail wag! Ruby's humans definitely agree. Great personality and made instant friends with Ruby. I know our vacation will be much better knowing Ruby will be happy with our new friend!”

About: I have 2 of my own dachshunds and also foster for Nebraska Dachshund Rescue. I have lived with large (Newfoundland) and small dogs providing walks and daily care. I can recognize abnormal excrement and report it to the owner. Each dog has their own personality and needs to be respected for the individual they are. I have a dog with some food intolerances (as I do myself) and understand that one food or treat does not fit all animals. My availability varies depending on my weekly schedule. On days I work I would be available to provide an evening walk for your baby. On my days off I could help out most times if the day I am comfortable walking you pet/pup or coming to you house while you are gone to take care of birds, fish, reptiles, rodents. Whatever the need may be! I am available after 1700 Monday through Friday and anytime on weekends. Availability on holidays will vary, but my calendar will be updated to show such. I will follow whatever requests you have for the care of your pet. I will respect whatever diet/treat schedule you have for them. I will make certain they wear their galoshes & sweater for walks if that is what you request!

I want to make sure that both you and your pet feel secure with me being in your home.

I also have a wolf hybrid with tons of energy and needs constant enrichment and stimulation.
“Opening my home and trusting our pup with someone I didn't know was nerve racking. That was until I met Jeannie! You can tell she truly has a passion for animals and enjoys what she does. Communicates well, punctual, and does her best to work with your scheduling needs. Highly recommend.”
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!

Jenny was quite flexible with our plans as they changed more than once, and we really appreciated that. We will definitely book with the family again.”
“Wonderful overall experience - for us and the dogs. Having the dogs there for only 24 hours, we were glad that they settled in and slept through the night. Great communication; getting photos of the dogs settling in was a plus for worried parents. Highly recommend. Dogs got on well with the "house dogs" so there was no drama.”
“A++++++ My first time using Rover.com and I cannot say enough high praises for our dog boarder, Torey!! She sent daily pics of my girls and their daily activities. And gave me notes on how their day had went. It really put my mind at ease. And my pups loved her!! Thank you, Torey!!”
“Justine & Justin did a wonderful job with shandy may! They sent plenty of photos to ease my mind while I was away! Shandy had a blast in the fenced in yard and with their dog Max!,”
“Teddy loves going to Dazhi’s! I always have total peace of mind knowing he’s so well cared for and showered with love. He comes home happy every time — which says it all. 🐾”
“Anja was wonderful with our dog Nyla! Nyla got lots of exercise and loving care when she stayed with Anja. Nyla reportedly behaved well and got along great with Anja’s two dogs. I got pictures and sometimes videos of Nyla’s antics. Although we missed her while we were away, I knew Nyla was I. Good hands with Anja.”
“Our poodle had a wonderful stay and enjoyed playing with Cheryl's two dogs. Cheryl sent pics of the dogs and my family loved the updates. We hope to have our dog stay with Cheryl in the future! Thanks for a great weekend, Cheryl!”
“Andrea was super communicative from the start and made us feel 100% comfortable leaving our pups! We got to meet up and make sure we were all comfortable, we got updates on the dogs throughout the week, and pick up afterwards was super easy! Extremely flexible and professional. We would feel very confident trusting Andrea with our dogs in the future!”
“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”
“Once again we had a wonderful experience! The dogs were so happy to visit. We got updates and photos everyday. If we had any questions they were always ready to answer. Thank you again!”
“This was my anxious boy’s second visit with Trish. The first visit was for daycare, and this was an overnight visit. Trish took great care of my boy! She sent me regular updates and pictures since we weren’t sure how he would do in a new environment. My boy looks happy and relaxed in all the pictures! He doesn’t do well in an overnight stay at the kennel, but he was clearly safe and happy here! We will definitely be repeat customers! Trish is the best!”
