“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!”
“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.”
“Wonderful overall experience - for us and the dogs. Having the dogs there for only 24 hours, we were glad that they settled in and slept through the night. Great communication; getting photos of the dogs settling in was a plus for worried parents. Highly recommend. Dogs got on well with the "house dogs" so there was no drama.”
“Crystal is amazing she truly treats every dog or cat under her care like they are one of her own.she always sends pictures and updates everyday, and understands what is needed for every pet. We are truly greatful for Crystal.”
“Bethany and her family took great care of Lacey! I felt very comfortable leaving her in their care. I appreciated the flexibility in drop of and pick up times. The photos and updates were great!”
“A++++++ My first time using Rover.com and I cannot say enough high praises for our dog boarder, Torey!! She sent daily pics of my girls and their daily activities. And gave me notes on how their day had went. It really put my mind at ease. And my pups loved her!! Thank you, Torey!!”
“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”
“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.”
“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!”
“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. 🐾”
“Coco really enjoyed spending Christmas with Emily and her WHOLE family 😂 Thank you for taking such good care of my girl and for the wonderful pictures of her enjoying herself in the middle of the family Christmas commotion.”
“Jamie was the best! Her entire family embraced Harper and she sent pictures everyday. It was so nice to be able to enjoy our travels w/o worrying about our dog. Our dog loves children too, and Jamie has three very sweet children. Jamie was also very flexible and supportive when we had car issues that delayed our return. Both my husband and I were very appreciative.”
“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!,”
“Jessica and Robert did a fantastic job watching my dog! They sent me daily updates and pictures so I knew she was happy and being taken care of. My dog has some quirks and they were great at communicating with me and making sure she got all the love and attention she needed while I was gone! They were great at easing my anxiety, and the next time I go on a trip I’ll definitely book with them again!”

“Celeste was an amazing cat sitter! Went above and beyond expectations and was in regular contact with me while I was away. When I returned home, my cats were obviously very well taken care of and my apartment looked just as I had left it! Cannot recommend Celeste enough. Incredibly appreciative of her willingness to watch my pets and keep me updated while on vacation.”
“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’ve had cats as part of my family for many years and currently have a cat of my own. Over the years I’ve cared for several cats with different personalities and needs, including shy cats and cats that prefer a quiet, patient approach. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, refreshing food and water, litter box cleaning, and giving cats attention and playtime based on their comfort level. I understand that some cats love interaction while others prefer calm companionship, and I always respect their space and routine. I can also assist with basic medications when a cat is comfortable receiving them. My goal during drop-in visits is to make sure your cat feels safe, cared for, and relaxed while you’re away.
“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'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!!”
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!

“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: Hi! I’m a dedicated dog sitter passionate about providing loving and attentive care for your furry friends. I understand that every dog has unique needs and routines, so I tailor my services to keep them happy, comfortable, and safe while you’re away. Whether it’s a quick visit or an extended stay, I’m flexible and reliable, ensuring your pet gets plenty of playtime, exercise, and cuddles. I’d love to hear about your dog’s personality and preferences—let’s chat and make sure your pup feels right at home with me! 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! At night, we use a downstairs area connected to my bedroom for some quiet time. We also have a 4ft fenced backyard where your pup can run and play freely, plus plenty of toys to keep them entertained!
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: 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 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 make sure pets are secure on walks, supervised during play, and always in a safe environment. I often prefer caring for pets in their own home because it keeps them comfortable in a familiar space and helps reduce stress. I’m very respectful of clients’ homes, keep things clean, and provide regular updates so owners feel confident while they’re away.

“Ellie has been helping us out by walking our dog, Wally, a few days a week. She is reliable and sends me a picture of Wally on his walks every time! Wally is a high energy dog and he is visibly calmer on days he gets to walk with Ellie! We can tell that he loves his walks with her and can tell that she treats him with love and kindness! He now knows her name and gets excited every morning when I tell him that Ellie is coming to see him later! We’re grateful to have a trustworthy person to spend time with him when we’re busy working. We will continue to hire Ellie as often as we can! Thank you Ellie!”

About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was able to walk. I have been dog sitting for family and friends for about 10 years now, and have a career as an animal Behaviorist at an animal shelter. I have a love for all animals, excluding the creepy crawlies I currently work full time in omaha, but can let pets out Sunday-Thursday at 7am and could let them back out at 6pm and stay the night. My Fridays and Saturdays are free and can hang out with them as much as possible. I currently have in my home a 7 year old diabetic husky who has to have is meds at exact times and exact dosages. I also have a wolf hybrid with tons of energy and needs constant enrichment and stimulation.

I offer puppy training basics, gentle senior pet care, and medication support when needed.

I'm currently working full-time, but can drop in during lunch and am available on the weekends. I have a flexible schedule I can work with. I am comfortable with crating, meeting, and handling a variety of cats and dogs. I am very caring and devoted to treating each animal with love and respect.
About: I've grown up around dogs/cats! I love getting as much time in with animals as possible. Ran a boarding facility (with day care) for 8+ years. I've taken care of many senior dogs (needing medication/specialty food) and have also bred, so I have lots of puppy experience. I also offer training! I work solely out of my home with a flexible schedule, so I can easily work around your pets needs! I'm available 24/7 with reliable transportation. I have very large fenced yard and 2 dogs of my own to keep your baby company. I allow pets anywhere I go (even my furniture). I also have dog crates in home so you don't need to carry yours back and forth!
About: Hello, my name is Faith! I grew up around exceptional dogs and lifelong animal care through my mom’s award-winning breeding and show dog business. From puppy care to understanding different temperaments and routines, I’ve had hands-on experience my whole life — giving your dog attentive, knowledgeable, and personalized care in a safe, loving environment. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I work a very flexible job just down the street from my home. This allows me to provide consistent attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I’m able to easily adjust my schedule to meet each dog’s individual needs, whether that means extra exercise, training reinforcement, cuddle time, or simply making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while staying in their familiar home environment. I follow your pet’s normal routine closely — including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, training reinforcement, and plenty of affection — to keep stress low and tails wagging. With my background in dog handling and training, I pay close attention to behavior, safety, and individual needs while also keeping your home clean, respected, and secure. I provide dependable communication, photo updates, and personalized care so you can travel with peace of mind knowing your pet is in experienced, caring hands.

“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.”
“Wonderful overall experience - for us and the dogs. Having the dogs there for only 24 hours, we were glad that they settled in and slept through the night. Great communication; getting photos of the dogs settling in was a plus for worried parents. Highly recommend. Dogs got on well with the "house dogs" so there was no drama.”

“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”
“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.”

Both my husband and I were very appreciative.”

They were great at easing my anxiety, and the next time I go on a trip I’ll definitely book with them again!”
