“Bailey was great with our dog! We were worried as our dog had not been in a house long term with another dog and Bailey had no problems. She sent us pictures every couple days so we could see how things were going!”
“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!”
“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. 🐾”
“Allyson provided wonderful care for our two dogs. She made them part of her family while they were with her. We are very grateful that our dogs were treated with such kindness. She sent lots of pictures. I highly recommend her!”
“Ellie looks like she had a great time staying with Stephanie and her family for the week. She came home so pooped and slept all day. She was so easy to work with and kept us in the loop. You can tell they really love animals and I wouldn’t hesitate to ask Stephanie again. Thank you for taking care of our girl!”
“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!”
“Tory was more than just amazing. This was our first big trip leaving our puppy behind and she was so understanding and helpful. She sent us pictures of Churro playing, gave us daily updates on how he was doing and even accommodated to a last minute (and very inconvenient) change we had to our plans. After getting locked out of our house on accident she willingly took Churro an extra night no complaints or second thoughts. She even offered to do it without pay (though we would never accept such an offer, especially under those circumstances). We would and will recommend her a thousand times over. Churro had such an amazing time, we have never seen him so happy or comfortable while we were gone, he’s usually a nervous wreck. She is a natural with dogs, and it shows in their demeanor with her. We are so grateful for this great experience.”
“Bethany took such great care of my pup, Lucy. Lucy lost her eyesight fairly recently and Bethany made sure Lucy was safe and loved during her stay. We will be using Bethany again!”
“Nicole and her family seemed to do a great job taking care of our dog. She sent updates everyday on what they did and how she was doing. We picked Sunny up tired, happy, and healthy. Thank you Nicole.”
“This was my first time boarding Henry with Melissa and it was a great experience. She was so accommodating and loving of Henry. She’s definitely an animal lover. Great communication with me as well. She sent me updates and pictures daily. Henry had lots of playtime and love. I will definitely be having her take care of Henry again!”
“Andrea took great care of our energetic boy! She was flexible when we needed to adjust our dates and kept us updated throughout his stay. Kody seemed comfortable and very much at home. We will definitely book with Andrea in the future!”
“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!”
“We couldn’t be happier with Alex and Sarah! They took such amazing care of Gigi and kept us updated with the sweetest photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear she was happy, loved, and in great hands. Gigi came home her usual joyful self, and we could tell she had a wonderful time. We will definitely be reaching out to Alex and Sarah again whenever we need a sitter, highly recommend them!”
“Absolutely wonderful!! My baby girl Lola was so well taken care of in Patricia’s care. This was my first time using Rover and she made sure she sent lots of photos every day which really eased my worry of being away for so long! I cannot thank her enough for such a great job! Lola can’t wait to be back next, thank you again! <3”
“Lynsee and her family were amazing! She sent pictures of my dog everyday and made it a lot easier knowing my pup was in good hands while I was away enjoying my vacation! Will definitely use her again!”

“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: 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.
“We’ve used Alyssa several times for our cats and she is the BEST! She is so caring, responsive, and willing to help if anything arises. She goes above and beyond. Highly recommend her!!”
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!
“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.
“Melissa took care of my cat a couple times a day while I was away for a business trip. She was very communicative and sent me updates for each visit. Couldn't be happier with her service!”

“Gabrielle was absolutely perfect in looking after our 4 cats while we were away. Right before leaving, our youngest cat had some sort of upset stomach. While it quickly resolved and allowed us to carry out our travel plans, Gabrielle was quick to put our minds at ease by keeping us informed of the cat’s eating habits. She also went above and beyond to make sure our more timid cat - who hides from strangers - got her food while hiding behind the washing machine. This timid cat even began to hide less often during Gabrielle’s time stopping in. We returned home to 4 very happy cats. No question Gabrielle is top notch and will put your mind at ease during travel!”

“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 had indoor cats, farm cats, and cats that enjoy both the indoors and the outdoors. Right now, I have 3 indoor cats with a catio when the weather is right. I know how to care for cats' basic needs as well as meet them where they are comfortable before trying to bond. No matter the lifestyle of your feline(s) I view them as family and treat them as such. Tell me about your kitty cat(s)!

“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.

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 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.

I have 2 dog parks in my apartment with one being decided to small dogs only.
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.
About: Hi! I’m a responsible and caring pet sitter who understands that pets are family. I provide attentive, loving care and will treat your pets as if they were my own. Whether you’re away for a day or an extended trip, you can count on me to keep your pets happy, safe, and well cared for while giving you peace of mind. I am currently working part time as a nanny and babysitter, so I have lots of time on my hands to care for pets. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so for me dog-walking and petsitting both fit naturally into my routine! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow their normal routine as closely as possible so the pet feels comfortable and secure. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medication if needed, and any specific rules the owner provides. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection so they feel safe and not stressed while their owner is away. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I create a calm, clean, and safe environment where they can relax and feel at ease. I keep them on a consistent schedule for feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and rest. I also supervise them closely, give them regular walks and playtime, and make sure they always have fresh water and a comfortable space to settle in. My goal in either setting is to treat every pet as if they were my own and ensure they are happy, safe, and well cared for.

I really love my job and what I do and I am diligent in providing animal care. I am flexible in providing whatever care your animal needs! I do have a dog and cat of my own, but I am completely open to any types of instructions provided and am flexible in doing so.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and grew up with two golden retrievers, so caring for pets has always come naturally to me. I’ve also dog sat for friends and family, helping with walking, feeding, playtime, and making sure their pets feel safe and loved while they’re away. I’m very patient, attentive, and understand that every dog has their own personality and needs. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or more calm and cuddly, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family. I am currently part-time employed but if you let me know in advance I’m available anytime weekday or weekends! Dog sitting is something I look forward to - not as a chore, so I am fully able to spend long hours if needed! I always prioritize safety and follow each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions carefully.

I’m very respectful of clients’ homes, keep things clean, and provide regular updates so owners feel confident while they’re away.
About: Lifelong animal lover offering reliable dog walking and drop-in visits for dogs and cats. I’ve cared for pets my entire life and previously boarded dogs through Rover, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. In 2017 I was an active Rover sitter and boarded dogs in my home for about a year, working with several families and building repeat clients. During that time I had multiple dogs and cats of my own, as well as young children, so I’m very comfortable managing busy households and different pet personalities. Today I have one dog and one cat of my own and am excited to return to Rover focusing on dog walking and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats. I’m happy to help with: • Dog walking (short or long walks) • Drop-in visits for dogs or cats • Feeding, fresh water, and routine care • Litter box cleaning for cats • Playtime, attention, and companionship • Basic medications when pets are comfortable receiving them I’ve also worked in boarding facilities, grooming salons, and doggy daycares, which gave me experience handling many different types of dogs and temperaments. I’m known for being calm, patient, and routine-focused, and I treat every pet with the same care and attention I give my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a wide-open schedule and can be flexible to meet your pet’s needs, whether it’s daily walks or regular drop-in visits. I primarily drive to visits, so I can reach most locations efficiently. To ensure the best care for your pets, I ask for at least a day’s notice when scheduling or canceling visits. Since this is my main source of income, I can be consistent and dependable, giving your pets the attention and routine they deserve. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. Dogs are always leashed during walks, and I adjust routes or pause if other dogs are nearby to ensure a calm, controlled experience. I’m comfortable caring for multiple pets at once, as long as they get along well. I handle pets with anxiety, aggression, or medical needs carefully, following all instructions from their parents. During drop-in visits, I take my lead from pet parents and follow any guidance provided, ensuring I leave the home exactly as I found it — doors locked, secure, and everything in order. My goal is to provide a safe, consistent, and worry-free experience for both pets and their families.
About: I’ve loved animals my entire life and have experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats and geckos. I attended animal camps through the Humane Society, which helped me learn more about animal behavior, care, and safety. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve dog sat for multiple families and am comfortable with dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. Whether that’s going on walks, sticking to a feeding schedule, playing, providing companionship, or simply giving extra attention and cuddles, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. My goal is to provide dependable care and give pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I currently work as a nanny Monday through Thursday. On Mondays and Wednesdays, I work from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, and on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I work from 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM. Outside of those hours, I have a flexible schedule and am available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet care. Depending on the pet’s needs and scheduling, I may also be available during parts of my workday. I’m organized, reliable, and committed to making sure pets receive the attention, exercise, and care they need. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and ensure your pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions provided by the owner. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and comfort level, whether they are energetic and playful or more shy and reserved. I always make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a clean environment. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away. As someone who has grown up with animals and has experience dog sitting, I understand the importance of trust, reliability, and treating every pet like my own.

“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: Both of us have been pet lovers since a young age and after dating for 5 years, decided to expand our family with our beautiful, ball-obsessed border collie, Willow. We rescued Brady a year later when he was just a tiny chihuahua-dachshund mix and have received endless cuddles since then. We decided to start pet-sitting as a way to take care of others’ pets just as we would want ours cared for when we go away. Even though we do live in a villa style apartment, walks and dog-park time are a necessity for our puppies. We are very careful following other pet parents instructions, no matter the task, and want to be there for you and your pet - so you don’t have to worry if they are in the right hands while you are away! Zane works weekend nights. Kassidy does not work summers, but does babysit occasionally. We do well collaborating so if one of us can’t make it, then other can. It does take a minute for our dogs to adjust to a visitor, but once they have figured out they are a guest, they play with them as such! We have a dog park and a beautiful community to take plenty of walks throughout the day.
About: You and your pets can expect a very kind and fun experience with me as your sitter/walker. I am the proud owner of 3 German Shep. mix and have grown up caring for various animals. I enjoy fetch just as much if not more than my pup, so if your fur-baby likes to play then we'll get along great! Dogs are truly mans best friend and I will care for your pup(s) as if he/she were my own. I am a very punctual and reliable person and have nearly completely open availability! I very much look forward to meeting you and your pets! Thank you! I currently work remotely Full Time. I can drop by throughout the day to take your pet for a walk, feed or provide medication, and with advance notice I can house sit and care for your pets in their own home. I ensure that all my pets and my clients pets are safe, with full bellies and plenty of water. I have experience administering supplements and bathing animals as well.
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!
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 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!

“Bailey was great with our dog! We were worried as our dog had not been in a house long term with another dog and Bailey had no problems. She sent us pictures every couple days so we could see how things were going!”
“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. 🐾”
“Ellie looks like she had a great time staying with Stephanie and her family for the week. She came home so pooped and slept all day. She was so easy to work with and kept us in the loop. You can tell they really love animals and I wouldn’t hesitate to ask Stephanie again. Thank you for taking care of our girl!”
“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!”
“Tory was more than just amazing. This was our first big trip leaving our puppy behind and she was so understanding and helpful. She sent us pictures of Churro playing, gave us daily updates on how he was doing and even accommodated to a last minute (and very inconvenient) change we had to our plans. After getting locked out of our house on accident she willingly took Churro an extra night no complaints or second thoughts. She even offered to do it without pay (though we would never accept such an offer, especially under those circumstances). We would and will recommend her a thousand times over. Churro had such an amazing time, we have never seen him so happy or comfortable while we were gone, he’s usually a nervous wreck. She is a natural with dogs, and it shows in their demeanor with her. We are so grateful for this great experience.”
“Nicole and her family seemed to do a great job taking care of our dog. She sent updates everyday on what they did and how she was doing. We picked Sunny up tired, happy, and healthy. Thank you Nicole.”

“Absolutely wonderful!! My baby girl Lola was so well taken care of in Patricia’s care.
