They were super good at communication and I think bud was able to learn social skills while there! He came back exhausted and slept the whole day. Def would book again when we take a vacation sometime. Def worth the 30 min drive from our house!”
“Melissa was the perfect choice for our pup, Tito! She was so attentive and caring. He was a rescue and this was his first time away from us… 4 months after his adoption.

We will definitely use Melissa again for any future needs.”

“Melissa was the best cat sitter I've ever had!! She sent plenty photos and made me feel so safe to leave home with her watching over nova. I'd recommend her to anyone looking for a 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.
“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.”
About: Need a reliable cat sitter who will treat your feline like royalty while you're away? Look no further! I offer personalized cat sitting services to keep your kitty lounging like the true diva they are, all from the comfort of their own home. From gourmet feeding (okay, maybe just regular food), to litter box cleaning (yes, I’ll actually do it!), and endless amounts of playtime and head scratches, I’ve got it covered. With my experience in feline care and an embarrassing amount of cat photos on my phone, you can rest easy knowing your furball is in good hands. Let’s make your time away paws-itively stress-free!
“Liz was great!! My fur kids just loved her. She even took time to come over before the scheduled date to meet my kids and learn their routine. She was so good with them and sent the best pictures!!”
“Wonderful experience for our Vizlsa - I can tell she was well taken care of while we were gone. Looking forward to using Zianna again (and again and again). House was also left in great shape. Thank you again!”
About: I grew up having 5 cats. So I am used to multiple cats hence multiple personalities 😂. I am now a proud mom of two. Unfortunately I can’t have any more so I am looking to live vicariously. I also understand cats do require more care and attention than what other people think.
“Wr needed a dog/house sitter for a last minute trip. I didn't want just anyone, either. Ibqas so worried our dogs were just going to be let out 3-4 times a day, and not get any play time. That was not the case when I got on here and found Ashlee. She was simply amazing! She sent me pictures of our dogs multiple times a day, was always checking in with me. Our dogs usually have separation anxiety and they seemed to do just fine with her! She walked our dogs multiple times, spoiled the with treats, played with them outside for a while! We were very blessed to have found Ashlee. We liked her so much we booked her again when we went to a concert, and we have her potentially booked for our vacation in February! She is a fantastic dog/house sitter. Thanks again, Ashlee! ?”
“Juan housesat for us for 2 weeks while we were away and was wonderful! He was communicative, sent photos/videos and took great care of our 4 cats. They seemed relaxed and happy when we got home, so we know they were comfortable with him. He also helped us out around the house - getting the mail, watering plants, and even offered to mow our lawn! Our house was clean and tidy when we returned which was also very much appreciated. We'll definitely use him again for any future trips and would recommend him to anyone.”
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.
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 am responsible, organized, and easy going. I will provide very good care of your pet and give lots of pets, walks/runs, and love! I am free to answer all questions about scheduling and flexibility. 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.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Ithaca
“Another wonderful day. Thor gets excited when we turn onto the entrance to the neighborhood. He seems to really enjoy his time with Garth and Tracy. We couldn't be happier!”
“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 😊”
“Derek did a great job with McGee, for his first time going to doggy daycare. McGee seemed to handle the situation well. Derek had good observations about McGee. Will definitely get Derek again.”
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
“Alex and Sarah are friendly, thoughtful dog sitters and I appreciated that they want to have a meet and greet before watching Smudge for the first time. They were flexible and communicative. We’ll definitely ask for their services in the future!”
“This was our first time using Rover. We are planning a longer boarding stay and wanted to do a test run day. Amanda made Marty and Millie feel right at home and shared photos/updates throughout the day on how they were doing. It really helped us to feel good about their upcoming three night stay!”
“Amy was absolutely amazing with our pup! I was really nervous leaving him the first day because he was so small (only 11 weeks) and he’s pretty attached to us. By the third day he was really excited to see her when I dropped him off. This definitely reassured me that he is happy and well taken care of when he is in her care. Not only that, but i can tell she has been working with him on potty training/taking him out regularly too, because he has less accidents at home than before. We will definitely continue to use her when we need a sitter for our little guy!”
“Rocket had an amazing time! He went straight to sleep as soon as we got home. Reaching out to Allyson was really last minute and she was super accommodating. I got plenty of pictures from his day and it just confirmed how much fun he had. We’ll definitely be bringing him back :)”
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: I grew up on a farm so taking care of animals is what I have done my whole life. I am good with all age ranges from the younger ones full of energy to the seniors that enjoy their own space. I currently watch my friend’s dogs and check in on their cats. I travel for work but when I’m home can work from anywhere! I travel for work but when I’m home can work from wherever. I have a fenced in yard for easy potty breaks and also go for walks around the neighborhood. I have a very friendly Jack Russell Terrier who LOVES all other dogs no matter the size as well as cats. My apartment has its own private fenced in yard. The inside is big enough to kennel as needed or let them have their own space if they prefer. I have 2 dog parks in my apartment with one being decided to small dogs only.
“Ariana was awesome! She was accommodating to my early drop off needs and was already familiar with Dixie from reviewing her care notes ahead of time. I got updates and pictures throughout the stay and Dixie was calm and happy when I picked her up. Ill definitely be saving Ariana as one of our favorite sitters!”
“Kara was wonderful. Ace was very well taken care of while our moving truck was being unloaded. I really appreciated her communication especially with the video and pictures. I will definitely be reaching out to her again.”
“Meaghan did a great job watching our pup Cali for an afternoon/evening while we attended an event! We will 100% be contacting her again the next time we are in Lincoln and need pet care 😊”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Ithaca
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: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was able to walk. I have been dog sitting for family and friends for about 10 years now, and have a career as an animal Behaviorist at an animal shelter. I have a love for all animals, excluding the creepy crawlies I currently work full time in omaha, but can let pets out Sunday-Thursday at 7am and could let them back out at 6pm and stay the night. My Fridays and Saturdays are free and can hang out with them as much as possible. I currently have in my home a 7 year old diabetic husky who has to have is meds at exact times and exact dosages. I also have a wolf hybrid with tons of energy and needs constant enrichment and stimulation.
About: I have loved animals ever since I can remember.

I treat your pets how I would want mine to be treated 💕 let your pets play more while you worry less 🐾 I’m currently working only 3 days a week so I am flexible in scheduling pet care. I am able to watch or play with your pet almost anytime ☺️ I am very good at communicating and keeping in touch with what works best for the pet and the owner. So if caring for your pets in my home or yours works better I am up to either one 🥰
“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!

I am available to do house sitting all seven days of the week. I am available to do drop-in visits and dog walks 4:30-9:30 pm Monday through Friday and all day Saturday and Sunday.

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.

About: I’ve taken care of my pets and family and friends pets for the last 10 years. Everything from walking to feeding and bathing them. I have also been trusted to dog sit at their house for 5+ days before. I have had dogs and cats my entire life and couldn’t imagine my life without them. I have also had to deal with finding a trusting caregiver while gone and I will be that trusting and loving caregiver for you! I currently have an extremely open schedule. On days I do work I would be unavailable for no more than 5-6 hours during the day. When taking care of the pets in other homes I always make sure they are not left alone for extended periods of time and make time in my day to go hang out with them. I will keep them active and play with them but also give them plenty of loves!
