“I can’t say enough good things about Jaclyn. She not only helped us out in a last minute emergency, but our dog was welcomed with open arms as if she was her own. She also sent sweet pictures and updates throughout the timeframe she watched her. 10000% I would recommend her to anyone. She really is the best!”
“Bailey was amazing with Ayla! She spent two days with her and had such a great time—lots of playing outside and a calm, happy environment. I could tell Ayla felt comfortable and well cared for the whole time.”
“Stephanie and her husband were absolutely amazing. I think my wide and I were more nervous about dropping off our puppy then our pup was. Stephanie was so sweet, calming,followed up , sent photos and text updates. 1000000% highly recommended !!! Thank you!!”
“Crystal and her family are wonderful people extremely flexible and helpful in our Ollie loves spending time at their home. I can’t wait to book again thank you for everything.”
“Wonderful experience! My dogs had so much fun, and they were treated as part of the family. The pictures we received while they were staying here were adorable and always brought a smile to my face.”
“We had to find a place for our dog, Pepper, to stay very last minute due to a family emergency. Torey promptly answered my message and we met the very next morning. She understood my concerns for Pepper who had not been boarded with other dogs in 2 years time. Talking with her and hearing of her experience with other families, I knew I could trust Torey to be attentive and sensitive to our Pepper's needs. There was a horrible storm one night and she let me know she had Pepper sleep with her son as that would help calm her. We were able to relax knowing Pepper was well cared for and we will definitely be using Torey again when we need to go out of town. Thank you Torey for taking such good care of our pampered girl!”
“I don’t even know where to begin! Allyson and her family were AMAZING!! my dog was so happy staying with her, and very much loved! I received many pictures of my pup playing, sleeping, and eating, all showing me how much love Allyson and her family had for my pup! I never had a worry at all knowing they loved her as much as I do! I will absolutely be using Allyson again!”
“Bella has gotten to stay with Ashtyn and Scott twice now, and she has had a blast each time. She gets to be involved in everything that goes on with them and gets lots of lovins and attention. With quick responses and lots of updates/photos, Ashtyn and Scott are my go-to when I need to know Bella is being taken care of in good hands.”
“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”
“Kathi was excellent. She cared for both my boys like they were her own. Both have their own quirks and issues but she had no problems. She sent email updates and even clipped their nails and they hate having their nails trimmed! I was so impressed! Will definitely book again!!”

“Anja was wonderful with our dog Nyla! Nyla got lots of exercise and loving care when she stayed with Anja. Nyla reportedly behaved well and got along great with Anja’s two dogs. I got pictures and sometimes videos of Nyla’s antics. Although we missed her while we were away, I knew Nyla was I. Good hands with Anja.”
“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”
“Bob was absolutely wonderful, he sent updates and pictures daily while we were on vacation. It was our first time leaving our pups for a long period of time and I have never felt more comfortable that they were in good hands. We will definitely rebook anytime we go on vacation and I know our dogs will look forward to going back, they were so spoiled being with him.”

“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.””
“We continue to utilize Crystal's services due to her excellence. Her communication is quick, and her schedule is flexible to adapt to our ad hoc needs as emergencies arise. We appreciate having someone reliable that ensures Champ is in good hands.”
About: I have had all kinds of pets in my life since I was a kid, but cats are by far my favorite! I have been going to my grandmas farm to visit and take care of the farm cats for years now and I am very patient with all cat personality types!
“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!!”
About: I love cats. As an autistic person, I find that I get along better with animals than people. I’ve had 1-3 cats my whole life since I was 10 years old. When I am at a party, you’ll find me hanging out with the animals. Aside from my own cats, I check on neighbor’s cats, and spend time at the Felius Cat Cafe.
About: I started my care for dogs when I was 14. I often sit for friends and family when they need me. I am an animal lover who just loves spending time with new animals. I love getting to know all of their sweet personalities. I am currently a student with no more than 2 classes a day so lots a free time to spend with your pets. I would be free to let out your pets multiple times a day and even spend the night if you would like. I am very accommodating when it comes to all types of animals. We can discuss what your animals need in your house and find some type of system.
“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 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.
About: I have experience pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors, caring for dogs and cats of different breeds and temperaments. My responsibilities have included daily walks, feeding, cleaning litter boxes, giving medications, and providing companionship. I understand how important routine and reassurance are when owners are away.
About: I have always grown up in a household with pets and see them as family members. Currently enjoying the companionship of my 2 fur babies. Throughout my time of loving animals, i have had pets with allergies, a 2 different orthopedic procedures on knees and 2 eye procedures and feel comfortable with giving medications or eye drops. When it comes to my animals, I value the importance of them having the ability to be cared for when I am away and look forward to providing that to other familys. I am available most friday afternoons and weekends for drop ins and walks in the lincoln area. Could consider evenings on additional days upon request. Currently my animals are free roam, but I do have experiance with crate training. My animals enjoy daily walks, mind stimulating activities and practicing of their learned tricks, and lots of love.
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!
“She was very friendly, and our cats, especially Buster, loved her. One of our cats went missing briefly (she likes to hide when she sleeps), and Carlie went back a few hours later to make sure she could find her. We will definitely be hiring her again during another trip.”
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the level of attention, patience, and adaptability I bring to every pet I care for. I don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach—each animal has its own personality, needs, and routines, and I make it a priority to learn and follow those closely so they feel safe and comfortable. I have experience working with both young and senior pets, which means I’m comfortable handling very different energy levels and care requirements. For puppies and kittens, I focus on reinforcing positive habits like basic training, crate routines, and socialization, all while keeping things fun and consistent. I’m patient with accidents and understand that early stages require structure and encouragement. For senior pets, I provide a calmer, more attentive style of care. I’m mindful of mobility issues, medication schedules, and any special dietary or health needs. I also make sure they get gentle exercise and plenty of companionship without overexertion. Beyond that, I’m very detail-oriented and communicative. I keep owners updated with messages and photos, and I’m quick to notice any changes in behavior that might need attention. Whether it’s an energetic puppy or a slower-moving senior companion, my goal is always the same: to provide reliable, thoughtful care that makes both pets and owners feel at ease.
“I cannot say enough about Sophia. She boarded our boy while we were on vacation. He had never been boarded before and she eased my fears and nerves and sent so many amazing updates and photos! We will definitely use her again!”
“Wonderful experience for our Vizlsa - I can tell she was well taken care of while we were gone. Looking forward to using Zianna again (and again and again). House was also left in great shape. Thank you again!”

“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 😊”
“Our girl Stevie LOVED her daycare visit with Crystal! Crystal was inviting, warm, and friendly with great communication and updates. Stevie got to play, made some friends, and seemed immediately comfortable in Crystal’s care. We’re thrilled to have found such a good fit and are looking forward to booking with Crystal for the holidays. Highly recommend!!”

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'm a stay at home mom.

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: 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.

Tuesday and Thursday afternoons are my preferred times for meet and greets, but I’m always happy to be flexible and accommodate other times when needed. I start my day early with a 5am job and work another job at 10pm, but I always make sure to set aside quality time for your pup! When dog sitting at my place or yours, I take days off from my night job so I can be there most of the time. I’ll still work my morning job, but only until 1pm, ensuring I’m available to give your dog the care and attention they deserve. I have a dog too, so to keep both pets safe, I always make sure they have a proper introduction first. I’d never leave them alone together and will keep a close eye on your pup at all times!

I’m very respectful of clients’ homes, keep things clean, and provide regular updates so owners feel confident while they’re away.

About: Ever since I was 8, I’ve taken care of dogs of many sizes! My family has always had bigger dogs, whether it be 120 pound droopy Newfoundlands, hyper-active golden doodles, or even chunky English bulldogs, many have filled a space in my heart. Family members have trusted me with the care of their smaller dogs as well, like yorkies or mini poodles. I am also skilled in walking older dogs and puppies. My childhood dog, Henry, lived to be 16, and almost everyday I would walk him. When we got our newest pup, a Newfoundland named Scout, I did a lot of her walk-training, to the point where now she can even walk without wearing a leash! On top of this, I am a runner and tennis player. I devote my much of my time to endurance sports. If your dog is super active, I will be ready and able to walk them (or run with them at your request) the distance needed to tire them out! Whether your dog is big or small, old or young, slow or hyper, on a leash or leash-less, I can walk them! This summer, I am very flexible to walk dogs most days of the week! I am free on weekdays from 8am-3pm, and 6pm-8:30pm. On Saturdays, I am available from 8am-8:30pm. I do not walk dogs on Sundays. I am very alert and aware while I am walking dogs. I do not walk with an airpod in any ear, and I am always very conscious of where I am walking, nearby traffic, and other situations that may arise. I always carry doggie bags, water for the dog, and pepper spray with me.
About: I’ve had experience with a different breeds of dogs from little pups to bigger dogs. I’ve also had two cats which I loved. I’ve always been a lover of my fur babies. Friends and family have relied on me to babysitt, walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I also do the same for my own pet. If there are any special instructions that your dog needs, I would be able to help out and follow. Can’t wait to make your fur babies comfortable!! I’m currently working two 12 hour shifts at the hospital. I work every 3rd weekend where I have to work Friday-Sunday. Otherwise, I’m very flexible and can provide schedules for anyone in advance if need be. I have a fenced yard and one big fur baby. He’s a gentle giant and loves any dogs who will play with him for hours! My pup gets walks, baths, car rides , pup cups (too many), and more. I love my fur baby and if I have the chance too take care of yours, they will be in good hands.

I understand how important routine and reassurance are when owners are away. I currently work from home. So my schedule is pretty flexible! Plenty of times to go on walks and playtime! With advanced notice I am very accommodating to meet your needs. I provide loving, reliable care whether pets stay in my home or I care for them in theirs. My top priorities are safety, trust, and maintaining a calm, comfortable environment. I always follow each pet’s routine closely — including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions — to help them feel secure and stress-free.
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!

“We had to find a place for our dog, Pepper, to stay very last minute due to a family emergency. Torey promptly answered my message and we met the very next morning. She understood my concerns for Pepper who had not been boarded with other dogs in 2 years time. Talking with her and hearing of her experience with other families, I knew I could trust Torey to be attentive and sensitive to our Pepper's needs. There was a horrible storm one night and she let me know she had Pepper sleep with her son as that would help calm her. We were able to relax knowing Pepper was well cared for and we will definitely be using Torey again when we need to go out of town. Thank you Torey for taking such good care of our pampered girl!”
“Bella has gotten to stay with Ashtyn and Scott twice now, and she has had a blast each time. She gets to be involved in everything that goes on with them and gets lots of lovins and attention.

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

Lola can’t wait to be back next, thank you again! <3”
