“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!”
“Teddy came home pleasantly exhausted from a great weekend with Bailey's dogs and family. It even seems like she worked with him on his potty training! Great experience 😊”
“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!!!”
“Thank you for taking care of our little fluff these past few days. We appreciate you giving him so much attention and sending daily updates. We truly appreciate everything you do for him!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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 :)”
“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”
“Stephanie was great to work with and she got us in last minute for the Holiday after a booking got cancelled! She sent pictures and updates. Our dog has been napping ever since he got home.”
“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”
“Bethany is super easy to communicate with and sends fun photos while Buddy is there. He is obviously very comfortable with them because he never looks back when I drop him off. Lol!”
“Betty seemed to enjoy her time with Kathi! Kathi was very flexible when I needed to modify her drop-off time. I felt very comfortable leaving her there and trusted that Kathi would care for her well.”
“Until recently, I had never left my 8# Malti-poo with a dog sitter in the 10 years he has been my companion. Needless to say, I was apprehensive about the situation. I was instantly put at ease the moment I met Shawn and Melissa. They were very patient and answered all my questions and addressed all my concerns. They made scheduling easy and worked with me as my plans continued to be revised and updated. Shawn and Melissa have a great set up for the animals and Duke had great care. It was nice not having to worry about Duke so I could enjoy my activities without stressing about my best friend! A big sincere “Thank You” to Shawn and Melissa from Duke (and me)! FIVE STAR SERVICE!!”
“Jania’s place is pup heaven. Lots of space and lots of other pups to socialize with. The daily pics were comforting and fun see. Our little pup was happy happy. I’ll be back. 🥰”

“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.”
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 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.”
“We were so lucky to find a dog walker in Ashland. Kim is only 10 minutes away from our campsite at Ashland RV Campground. It was such a relief finding her. Very easy to work with, walked and played with Dixie for about 45 minutes. We've used her twice & will continue while here for CWS.”
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: 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.
“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!!”
“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 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.
“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!”

About: Although I don't have cats of my own, I do love them. I had cats growing up and would be willing to come to your house and care for yours. I will cuddle the while you are away (if they are 'into that thing) and ensure they are fed and medicated.

“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.”
“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: 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
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.”
“Alissa is very conscientious and communicates well. She is also flexible, which we really appreciate. Harper did well with her, and I am sure we will use her again in the future.”
“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.”
“Seriously the best!! We don’t take our dog anywhere else, and he is a little crazy so we appreciate how well they take care of him. Always accommodating & he has the best time!”
“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.”
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: My passion for animals and love towards animals. I currently have 3 dogs two huskies and one lab mix. I’m super excited to start dog sitting because being with animals is my happy place! Please reach out if you need somewhere for your dog to stay while away or I can even come to you!! With my 3 dogs I have a daily routine. We wake up at 8am and they go outside and run around the fence while I get their first meal ready. They eat and then get kennel for 30 minutes to let food settle before playing again. They then have the whole day to play and do as they want along with an hour walk. We typically play fetch for at least an hour a day and then they get their second meal. I constantly make sure my dogs are happy and have something to do. Weather it be playing with toys or enrichment toys to get their energy and brain going. They get brushed daily, teeth brushed and walks. My dogs are my everything as I don’t have kids.

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.
About: I can handle any kind of dog, from shy to super hyper! I’ve dog sat for family and friends over the years and I have experience in giving dogs medicine and first aid!

I have experience giving cats and dogs medicine orally as well as administering first aid to dogs! I have my own car that I can take to visit your pet, and in emergencies I am a safe driver that can safely bring your pet to the nearest vet. I have grown up around animals and have a deep love and respect for every species!
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. Monday nights I help coach my high school’s wrestling program. Otherwise, I have WIDE availablity for any time or day of the week. I’m happy to hear your preferences and any special requests you may have. Whether there’s a specific route you’d like your dog to walk or particular care instructions to follow, just let me know your expectations. I’ll do my best to ensure a great experience and that all requests are carried out with care and attention.

About: I currently have 3 dogs, 2 are foster fails. One from a rescue I volunteered for and the other through a family member who made a rash decision to buy a puppy. All 3 dogs are different in size, small, medium and large. All are tan and was not planned that way. Age range is 12, 11, and 8. My oldest has to have multiple kinds of eyedrops 3 times a day. He is unfortunately blind, but he is still happy. I have experience with fostering dogs and working with rescue organizations. I am currently a stay-at-home dog mom of 3. I have time to play, feed, walk or let out your dog anytime during the day and can stay with them for a little while. I consider my pets as my children and treat them with love and great care. I believe a person's energy affects how a dog reacts to them, so I do my best to stay calm around dogs in general. I am not super strict and will give love and kisses and bring excited energy when the situation is safe to do so. I like to train my dogs on their basics skills and tricks because I do believe that makes life easier for everyone. I am not opposed to crate training or using it when necessary.

“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! 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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

I currently work part time spending the rest of my time watching animals. I share a chocolate lab and a cat with my fiance in our home in West Omaha. My schedule is incredibly flexible, which means I am a good choice for last-minute care as well as being able to come to your home at various times throughout the week. My home is in a safe and well-maintained neighborhood in West Omaha. I have a large fenced in backyard, a spacious indoor area, and a neighborhood with parks and nature for nice long walks.
About: Hi! My name is Maddie and I am a current Master’s student at the University of Nebraska in the Counseling Psychology program. Since I was very little, animals have been an important part of my life. I have lived with dogs for as long as I can remember! I have had a lifetime of feeding, playing with, walking, and caring for them. I have also had experience with various sizes and breeds of dogs, and regularly look after a handful of pets (including cats) in my neighborhood. I have plenty of time during most of my days to snuggle, walk, and care for any of your furry friends. I work from home in addition to being a full-time student. My only "full" day of classes is Wednesday, but I am able to take breaks to come on check on my furry friends throughout the day. Otherwise, I am able to spend a lot of time at home and outside with your pup! While caring for your pet, I understand that I would be occupying the space that is your pet’s home. I also understand that the space should remain as it was when you left, and will always clean up after myself and only use what I am permitted to use by the owner! I want to make sure that both you and your pet feel secure with me being in your home.

“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!”
“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 :)”
“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”
“Stephanie was great to work with and she got us in last minute for the Holiday after a booking got cancelled! She sent pictures and updates. Our dog has been napping ever since he got home.”
“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”
“Betty seemed to enjoy her time with Kathi! Kathi was very flexible when I needed to modify her drop-off time. I felt very comfortable leaving her there and trusted that Kathi would care for her well.”
“Until recently, I had never left my 8# Malti-poo with a dog sitter in the 10 years he has been my companion. Needless to say, I was apprehensive about the situation. I was instantly put at ease the moment I met Shawn and Melissa. They were very patient and answered all my questions and addressed all my concerns. They made scheduling easy and worked with me as my plans continued to be revised and updated. Shawn and Melissa have a great set up for the animals and Duke had great care. It was nice not having to worry about Duke so I could enjoy my activities without stressing about my best friend! A big sincere “Thank You” to Shawn and Melissa from Duke (and me)! FIVE STAR SERVICE!!”
“Kayle and her family were amazing! They took such great care of my dog. They sent pictures and updates. I felt so confident that my pup was being taken care of and having fun while I was gone. I’m so grateful I found them on here! I will absolutely book them again :)”
“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!”
“Thank you to Patricia and her family for taking such great care of our “kids” again! My dogs looked very relaxed in the photos! Another perfect boarding experience with Patricia!”
