“I had a family emergency so I had to leave town on short notice and she responded very quickly. She was nice and was responsive. She did a great job at keeping me updated and letting me know how my dog was doing. So thank you for watching Rex for me! I appreciate it!!”

“We got daily updates, photos and videos of our gal while we were away. She was happy to see us but clean, happy, and tired which tells me she got enough expertise and love. We will definitely use her again! Thanks!”

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!”

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover and former vet assistant with years of hands-on experience caring for cats of all ages, breeds, and personalities. My family owns a veterinary clinic, and I’ve grown up surrounded by animals my whole life at one point, we had 17 pets at home! Over the years, I’ve cared for everything from playful kittens to senior cats who just want quiet company. I understand feline behavior and know how to make even the shyest cats feel safe, comfortable, and respected in their own space. Whether your cat needs daily check-ins, playtime, or a calm presence while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind and your cat the loving, reliable care they deserve.

“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.”

I am reliable and flexible with your scheduling needs. Enjoy taking care of pets and will treat them as though they are my own while with them.

About: I have taken care of cows, sheep, and a dog or two on my family’s farm. I moved to Fremont, NE for my job but miss getting a lot of time outside and working with animals. I can’t have a dog at my apartment and am looking for some emotional and physical exercise with man’s (and woman’s) best friend. I’m willing to walk in rain, snow or shine. I am willing to learn and am capable of following detailed instructions. This profile requires a certain amount of words but I hope you would be willing to give me a chance for my actions to speak louder than my words. I currently work a 8-4 job with some travel. For the summer I am unavailable on the weekends but will be back with a more available schedule this fall. I want the pet to feel comfortable around me. The more information you can share about your environment/the pet’s regular environment the better for me.
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life all breeds of them I have also had a kitten, I love animals I would like to put your mind at ease while I take of you pet because I know they apart of your family. I have some extra time I can spare into taking care of pets during the week. This is important to me to do a good job for you. I will make sure they go potty when needed, well fed, and plenty of play time in between. Exercise is a very good part their day so they aren't so bored.
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: Loving dog and human mom who has taken care of dogs, birds, cats, and Guinea pigs since age 10. Wanting to open our home to your pets when you have a weekend away. Will provide love and treats 🙃 Currently available for boarding Friday-Sundays, and holiday weekends. Available for other random days upon request. Our goal is to provide 24/7 care when you are away :) We will give your pet daily attention and love while sticking to their personal schedule. Daily walks with our own pup will be provided. We do not have a fenced in yard, but we have a huge open lot to run around in as well as all the walks and cuddles they could want :)
“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!”

About: I have watched several peoples pets over the years. From dogs, cats, reptiles, rodents, and birds. I have also volunteered at the local humane society and other organizations in high school. I have two Guinea pigs and a horse. I am a massive animal lover!! I work full-time but work from home so I have a fairly flexible schedule. This slows me to accommodate many requests and devote extra time as needed. I live in an house and have Guinea pigs (though they will be in a different room). So your pet must be house trained! I would be able to take them out to a nearby park several times a day. Along with a worthwhile walk depending on needs.

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: While I haven’t officially cat sat before, I’ve spent plenty of time around cats and am very comfortable caring for them. I’ve always loved animals, and I’ve gotten to know and spend time with my neighborhood cat, which has helped me learn more about cat behavior, personalities, and how they communicate. I understand that cats often have their own routines and preferences, and I know the importance of being patient, gentle, and respectful of their space. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to following your cat’s care instructions closely, whether that includes feeding, refreshing water, cleaning the litter box, playtime, or simply providing companionship. I genuinely enjoy being around cats and would treat your pet with the same care and attention I would give my own.

“Jayda was well cared for with Katie. She made herself right at home and made a new friend (Scarlett). I would definitely recommend Katie and plan to return with Jayda in the future.”

“I had a great experience with Keeley and Ethen! I sent a last-minute request around 8–9 PM, they responded quickly, and I was able to drop her off the next morning. They were super kind, communicative, and sent pictures throughout the stay, which I really appreciated. This was for my 9-week-old puppy that I had only brought home three days earlier, so everything was still very new. She ended up being more vocal than expected and needed a little extra attention, so I was nervous leaving her. They handled her so well and made the whole process feel easy. Their home is nice, the area is great, and overall everything went smoothly. No complaints at all. Highly recommend!”

“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!”

“Alecia is so great with Tefiti. We know we can trust her to take care of her. Tefiti also loves her pup who is well socialized and well behaved. Great communication, consistency and care! We started booking with her at least once per week because Tefiti always comes home happy.”


“Jill was awesome! She was able to host Baxter on relatively short notice. It was our first time leaving him anywhere and Jill did a great job keeping us updated on how he was doing. Baxter came home happy and sleepy!!”

“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!”

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.

“We had to find a last minute replacement, with meeting with Adam and him asking all kinds of questions plus seeing Rykers interactions with him. We were put at ease that we could trust Adam with our furry baby. He was in good hands. Adam is really respectful with touching in when needed to update time due to his work schedule, he kept us in the loop asap and promptly responded back as well. Provided us updates as well and overall amazing pet sitter. We highly recommend and will book more with him in future as well. Thank you again for being amazing with Ryker”

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!

About: I’ve had dogs since I was about 8 years old! I currently have a 2 year old golden retriever named Mabel and two cats, Milo & Helen :) I’m currently working full time as an occupational therapist but do have weekend availability from 7am-8pm. Please reach out if you need a dog sitter or someone to give your pups some lovings throughout the day! I have a large yard for plenty of room to play! I also have a 2 year old golden retriever who is VERY friendly and would love if someone could play with her!
About: I've had dogs for as long as I can remember. My last fur baby was a Puggle that was handicapped. She lost the use of her hind legs at age 6. She needed help going potty, I got her a wheelchair so we could still go on walks which she absolutely loved and was important to keep her as healthy as possible! She needed more care then my other dogs, she really trained me to help other dogs that need alittle more care. I have had Dachshunds, Cocker Spaniels, Boston Terriers and Puggle. I love any breed of fur babies, they all want love and belly scratches!! My schedule is pretty open and am willing to work with you to get the best help for your dog. My schedule is pretty flexible and would be available to spend a night or two at your home if needed. I would work with you to get the best care for your dog. I would not be able to have your pet in my home as I live in an apartment. I would take them for walks, let them out to go potty and stretch their legs. <ake sure they are fed and have fresh water. and the best part i'll sit with them and give love and make them feel comfortable with me in your absence . And of course clean up after them, I have 7 yrs experience of caring for a special needs dog.

About: I’ve grown up around animals and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets. I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate pet care throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I’m dependable, punctual, and committed to providing consistent care that fits your pet’s routine and needs. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special instructions. Safety is always my top priority, whether we’re on a walk, playing, or relaxing at home. I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.

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: (If the prices seem high, I'm sorry. Rover does take 20% of payments.) 🐶 I have always loved all dogs and grew up around all dog types. I have also been able to help/give love to most dogs others wouldn't or couldn't. I love all furry animals🐕🐈 I'm a mother to 3 older boys, who love animals just as much as I do. Your family's dog/dog's are more then welcome to come with me and the family to most anything we do😁 I'm able to be home with my puppy who is socialized with other dogs and loves the company of another furry friend. I have the capability to separate her from any new furry friends that may have a hard time with other furry friends, if need be. I can't wait to be able to give your loved family member/ members care and love. I treat every animal in my care as if they were a family member. I would also do what's asked if there's extra care needed.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 8. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets... I am self-employed and I make my own schedule. I have plenty of time to be neighborly! I would love to help take care of your pets! I can adapt to your schedule and help keep your dog safe, well fed, and watered. I can easily crate if needed.

“I had a family emergency so I had to leave town on short notice and she responded very quickly. She was nice and was responsive. She did a great job at keeping me updated and letting me know how my dog was doing. So thank you for watching Rex for me! I appreciate it!!”

“We got daily updates, photos and videos of our gal while we were away. She was happy to see us but clean, happy, and tired which tells me she got enough expertise and love. We will definitely use her again! Thanks!”


“Jill and her sweet family were amazing with our pup! They keep him active and engaged daily and keep me informed with pictures and updates throughout our trip. I highly recommend Jill!!!”


“We loved receiving updates on how much Hazel was enjoying her stay! Hazel got lots of walks and attention. We are so grateful to Ann for taking such great care of her.”

“Sarah and Jason took Maggie in last minute and did great! They took great care of her and made sure she wasn't too anxious. Mag got lots of pets and outside time, her two favorite things! Definitely would book again.”

“Kelsey was awesome! She took such great care of our dog. We had daily updates and pictures, which put us at such ease while we were gone. She took care of our dog like she was her own. Highly recommend and we will be using her 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!”

“This was the second time Mel stayed at Torey’s, and she was just as incredible as the first. Mel was so excited to see her again—and it’s easy to see why! Torey is caring, reliable, and treats Mel like her own. We got regular updates and came back to a happy, relaxed pup. We completely trust Torey and can’t recommend her enough!”

“Cheryl is amazing! I was traveling from out of town and my dog can be slow to warm up but Cheryl made it very comforting and is great at communicating. She has two dogs who are fun sweeties! I would highly recommend and even return again. She’s is a dog person and makes her own dog treats, very caring pet owner/caretaker!”

“Janet was wonderful! She sent frequent updates and our dog was very content with her. Our dog is older and takes medications daily and Janet had no problem giving these to her, even when our dog was stubborn about taking them. We will definitely book with her 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!”

“Our dog had a wonderful time with Danielle and her family over the Christmas holiday! She made him feel right at home ☺️ We would be happy to have him stay there again in the future!!”

“Bryanne and her family were fantastic. Bryanne is a knowledgeable handler and integrated our dogs with her own quickly and peacefully. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Bryanne again.”

“This family is the best. Hannah and Will were so accommodating and kind and attentive to not only our dog but to us as well. This was the first time we used Rover in about 3 years so I was pretty particular. Hannah and her family were a perfect fit for our 4 yr old pup. They have two other dogs who were so playful and welcomed mine rt into their pack. They also have two young daughters who knew exactly how to safely approach our dog for the first time and all times after that. They were excellent listeners to their parents and were thoroughly excited to welcome our dog into their home. And within a few hours …maybe minutes…our dog was snuggling rt up to them. Hannah was an excellent communicator and sent many photo updates! They even taught him to “stay” out of kitchen while they ate, as do their other 2 dogs. We have already booked her for July. Thank u Hannah and Will.”

“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.”
“Keeley and Ethan cared for our golden retriever puppy for a week. It was a last minute request and they responded quickly. They have a great size fenced yard. We hope they can watch him in the future. Open communication and pictures of him while we were gone. They took great care of Clyde and we would highly recommend them to anyone.”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we left for vacation (and before), we felt completely at ease knowing our boy was in such great hands. They truly went above and beyond—sending updates, reassuring us, and treating him like part of their own family. He had an absolute blast playing with their dogs and came home so happy and well cared for. It’s clear how much love and attention they give to every pet they watch. We are beyond grateful to have found them and will only be using them anytime we’re away. Highly, highly recommend!”
