“Jenny's house has such an organic and welcoming environment for dogs. While leaving, my rescue watched out the rear window as we drove away; a clear sign he wanted to stay, and utterly remarkable given how reluctant he normally is around children”
“First time leaving our dog in 12 years and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Made our week long trip worry free. They sent lots of pics of all the snuggles he got. Will definitely go back again!”

“We were not disappointed. Bethany and her family gave our husky great care while we were away. We got frequent updates and pictures. It gave us a lot of comfort knowing our dog was in good hands while we were traveling. My 4 year old loved seeing the pictures of what Koda was doing that day. Would book again!!!”

She kept me up to date on how he was doing, sent lots of pictures, spoiled him with treats, and allowed him to get comfortable in her home. I’ll absolutely have Sarah watch my pup again when I need a sitter.”
“We have used Emily and her lovely family to care for our senior dog on 2 different occasions and we will not hesitate to reach out again if needed. They have been so flexible and kind both times.

About: Growing up surrounded by cats, I’ve cared for them my whole life—nurturing kittens, providing comfort, and even assisting in multiple births. With years of hands-on experience, I understand their needs and am dedicated to giving every cat the love and attention they deserve. Although I would consider myself a dog person now, I still love being able to form a special bond with every cat I come across 😻

Thx Ella”

“Marikita was wonderful. Our kitty took to her on our first meeting before we left for our trip and I knew she was in great hands. Marikita provided us with detailed updates at each visit including the most adorable pictures! She even picked up our mail for us and made sure the security system was set each time she left. Highly recommend and will definitely book with her again in the future. Thanks Marikita!!!!”
“Rachael is outstanding! I’m so happy we found her on Rover. She’s so good with our pets! She always prompt with their meals and sends us pictures daily. We get an update on each one individually so we know how they’re doing while we’re away. Five stars aren’t enough!! 😻”

“Tuffy looks happy and well cared for, which really stood out to me. David seems very comfortable and confident handling dogs. It’s clear he actually spends quality time with the dogs rather than just keeping them around, and that makes a big difference. We are grateful.”
“Thank you to Shawn and Melissa and their daughters for hosting Jasper. They were super with communication and friendliness. This was Jasper’s first stay and he came home pleasantly tired from play. I hope he can stay again in the future.”
“Simply a wonderfull amazing women. She truly loved my dog as she would her own. If it wasnt cause shes already been pre booked. I would have kept her as my primary sitter moving forward. But even disregarding that she will always be someone I'll keep an eye out for. She is reliable people to care for a pet”
About: We recently said goodbye to our German Shepherd, who we had the joy of taking care of for the last 13 years. We are comfortable with all ages and sizes of dogs. My husband and I both primarily work from home, so someone is almost always around to care for your dog and keep him/her company. We can accommodate most schedules. We have 4 kids ready to give your dog a lot of love and attention. We are gentle with animals, and we will follow precisely whatever instructions you give us.
About: I am an experienced Veterinary Technician that has worked in the industry for 10 years. I had my own pet sitting and dog walking business in Texas for 6 years before moving to the great state of Nebraska. If selected to take care of your fur babies, I will provide detailed accounts of the interaction that I will have with your pets. I am able to give medications and provide basic medical care. You will be alerted when I notice any sign of illness. You will also be notified when they are being cute. My goal is to provide the best care possible while you are away. I will play with them, love them, and treat them as if they were my own. Taking care of animals is my calling and my passion. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your fur babies. I am a stay at home mom and have a flexible schedule to work with your ongoing pet sitting needs. Just let me know what you need! When I am a pet sitter I treat your animals as if they are my own. I pay attention to the details that your pet communicates. I typically can detect early illness and recommend proper intervention to keep your pet healthy. If they are at my house, they are in a fenced backyard and monitored while my dogs play with your dog. I provide plenty of water to prevent dehydration and a nap break to make sure they rest. Be prepared! Your pup will be tired when they return home.
“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.”
About: I care deeply about dogs and their welfare, including love and exercise. My dog Mitzy also loves other dogs and is a gentle companion; she loves to play and make friends. I work from home, so I am available at all times. I will spend time with your pup, and my own dog is very loving. I have a fenced backyard and we have a huge neighborhood area exclusively to us homeowners the size of a football field. Also there are to parks within 5 minutes.
“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 have had dogs since I was a child. Anything from Dachshunds to Great Danes. I have been through formal training with a good amount of my dogs. I am the pack leader. I love cuddles and often all dogs can be found sitting close to me. I would love a rescue someday. I work from home and am able to take the dogs out often throughout the day. Our dogs sleep with me on their mats in my bedroom. I can feed and water them as much as needed. I watch them often, listen for que’s and or energy change. I am the pack leader, so they know Mama is in charge. I make sure water is full at all times, feed them as needed, give lots of loves and other care such as baths, cleaning ears, etc.
About: When I was growing up babysit for my brothers bestfriend. I would have to walk the dogs and it got her energy out as well. :) I have 5 cats and I have to change their litter daily, feed them twice a day , give them love and attention. I will go to my grandmas and walk her dog for her. I treat them as I they are mine. I love animals no matter how big or small. And I follow the instructions from the orders of the times they want to feed them.
“Infinity was wonderful to work with! It was clear immediately that she cared for my pup and made sure she was comfortable in her home. She provided regular updates and photos and even gave my pup a bath after play time ended in the mud 🤦🏻♀️ I am so thankful our first pet sitting experience with this dog was with Infinity!”
“Alayna and her accommodations for our dog couldn’t have been more perfect! Her sweetness and enthusiasm for the dogs is genuine. We will definitely use her services again and recommend her to everyone!!🥰🐾♥️”
About: Watching dogs for a living?! Who wouldn’t want that! I loved watching dogs for my family and friends for as long as I can remember, was and am happy to hear about Rover. Walk, wash, play, anything you need. I’m your pal! I’m currently working freelance so hours are all over, which allows me a heck of free time! I am able to work with your schedules and availability. I live in a gated complex, no running into the streets. The area is pretty spacious so walks may be down within the gated complex.
“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 😊”

About: I’ve been Pet Sitting officially for seven years, I’ve owned cats and dogs my whole life, I love animals I even major in it for college. During college, I started to take on more clients during the summer and I would manage 20+ clients during a summer. I have experience in taking care of small animals like aquariums and fish, two large animals like horses and goats. I have experience managing medications, special needs, multiple pets, special diets, etc. whatever you throw my way I will be up for :) I do work as a manager at a golf course, But my schedule varies and I have large gaps in my day where I will be able to take care of your pet. I am not opposed to getting up early to make sure I get a visit in before a shift, or coming there immediately after work to spend some time with your Pet. I always wanna make sure I spend as much time with a pet as possible and make sure they’re getting their needs all met. I am more than willing to take care of pets at their home, that is their space. I will always make sure I visit multiple times in a day, or if you are up for it, stay overnight with pets. I always make sure all the doors are secure before I leave, everything is clean and put in the place, I always check to make sure there’s no accidents or issues with the pets and their area depending if they kennel or not. I don’t like to leave unless pets have eaten and have had plenty of time to go outside, take a walk, play.
About: I love animals and am committed to giving them enriching lives. While your pet is in my care, you can expect them to play a variety of brain-engaging games, eat out of puzzle feeders, and receive undivided love and affection! I work a very flexible job that allows me to fit in walks and drop-in visits whenever needed. There are no times that are too early or too late for my schedule! I will follow any procedures and protocols you have put in place for your pet. Your pet's routine is important to me and them! Animals thrive off of routine, so I will follow any directions you give to the letter.
About: Lifelong animal lover who treats every pet like my own! Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles, your furry best friend’s in good hands. I’ve cared for pets of all kinds and love giving them a safe, happy space because they deserve the best! 💕🐕 As of right now I have walks/drop in visits regularly booking from 11am-12:30pm Mon-Fri and I usually work 6pm-10pm Fri and Saturday nights. I’m still open to house sitting visits if you’re okay with me coming and going for those visits! If i know a week ahead I can request off work for weekends, I also have my own dog Osito who loves to make new friends! If you’re okay with me bringing him along that would be amazing but if not no worries I completely understand! I always treat pets (and their homes!) with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I make sure doors are locked, routines are followed, and your furry friend stays safe, happy, and comfortable at all times.
“Having Roger stop by to give Smudge a break was a great decision! He was very willing to meet up beforehand to make sure it would be a good fit. I appreciated his details in letting me know how things went. I will definitely be using his excellent service again! It puts my mind at peace to know my pup can get out on a nice day.”
About: Most people babysit growing up, I was the local petsitter instead. Now I’m the go-to petsitter for my friends and colleagues, looking to help others! I have experience petsitting both cats and dogs! My main summer job is research, so the hours I’m available are very flexible. I make my own schedule so I can make myself available for most times! I’ve cared for lots of pets of varying age and need ranges, so I am equipped to do whatever is needed for pets to thrive while their owners are away. I am used to taking dogs on long walks or snuggling under a blanket, and I have two very particular cats of my own so I know how to get kitties eating, playing, and comfortable!
About: dogs are very important to me as i have been around them my entire life. i currently work at a dog kennel and as much as i enjoy cleaning up after and taking care of those dogs, i would love to have the opportunity to take care of more dogs outside of the kennel environment. my own dog is so very special to me. when i take him back to visit my parents, we have a total of four dogs running around! the smallest is around 10lbs and the biggest is around 85lbs, needless to say it’s crazy and fun! i currently work part time so i am very flexible with my schedule. i am happy to accommodate as much as i can to fit whatever needs you may have. i live in an apartment so as of now, i am not able to dog sit at my home. however, i am more than happy to commute to your residence to treat your dog as if they were my own. dogs have unique personalities and i am capable of accommodating special requests to make sure your dog is as comfortable and safe with me as possible.
About: Animals have always been an important part of our lives. We raised one of our dogs from an 8 week old puppy and adopted another from a shelter when she was estimated to be 1 to 2 years old, she was with us for over 17 years! We cared for them through every stage of life. That experience taught us the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, and paying attention to each dog’s unique personality and needs. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I’ll care for your furry family member with the same love and attention we gave our own. I currently work part time, which gives me flexibility for dog walks, drop in visits, and house sitting. My schedule varies, but I’m available many afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays. I’m active and genuinely enjoy long walks, hikes, and spending time outdoors, so whether your dog prefers a leisurely stroll or plenty of exercise, I’ll make sure they get the attention and activity they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I cared for my own two dogs for many years, raising one from a puppy and adopting the other from a shelter. I have experience caring for dogs through every stage of life, including senior dogs with changing needs. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep your home secure, provide regular updates and photos, and treat your pet with the same patience, love, and respect I gave my own dogs. Every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

I have Thursdays off which will my fullest availability. I am very mobile and able to come to you at your convenience. I have a one cat at home and he is declawed.

About: Hello my name is Kirstin. I currently live in Lincoln NE. I have always loved animals no matter the species. I had previously work at a veterinarian office, as a kennel attendant and receptionist, so I'm not afraid of giving medication. I love to learn about new animals and any fun facts about them. I am also able and comfortable to give medication. I currently volunteer at what is called The Cat House. So I love caring for animals. I have been pet sitting for around 6 years for cats and dogs, but I'm willing to learn what it takes for other animals. I am comfortable with small and large animals and even ones that might be aggressive. I know that if an animal attacks me there was probably something I did to agitate them it usually is never the animal's fault. I currently work part-time, anywhere from 1:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. weekdays, 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. all week, or 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Saturdays. All of this does depend on my part-time scheduling. If you have any questions on how I will care for your pet, don't hesitate to shoot me a question. I usually watch the dogs when I let them out into the yard unless the owner has stated otherwise. I carefully measure out the food given. Depending on the weather and usually will wipe dogs paws when they come inside. For any pets that require it, I always make sure to play with them to get physical energy out and to give them mental stimulation.
“I cannot thank Chelsea enough for coming to my rescue again last minute. I have been struggling with health issues and she is so understanding and willing to help me with my baby. My dog gets so excited to see her! Thank you so much Chelsea!”
About: I've spent the last 20 years caring for cats, dogs, and pocket pets — both my own and those belonging to friends, family and clients. What started as a childhood passion has turned into a lifetime of experience with animals of all personalities and needs. I treat every pet in my care like my own, and their comfort and happiness are always my top priority! I work full-time(remotely) and am available for early morning, mid-day and after 5 PM check ins. Weekends are available as well, if my calendar is open. I'm happy to come to your home and care for your animals. Prior to the first visit, I like to make sure I fully understand what your pet needs are so that I can help them feel the most comfortable while you're away.
