“David and Shelley were very flexible when we needed to change our pickup time & date. Their communication was very good throughout both times Charlie stayed.”
“Thank you to Shawn and Melissa and daughters for their loving care for my very old, blind, hard of hearing, and struggling with incontinence dog, Rufus (18 yrs). I bragged to my fellow Washington DC goers of the excellent care I found for Mr. Rufus while I was away "conferencing". I really appreciated the daily pictures and contacts -- I knew he was in good hands. Thank you to your family for providing this very loving and helpful service to our Lincoln pooches who need some brief babysitting. You guys rock! I hope I can set up some more weekend "respite" for Mr. Rufus soon....... Dr. Marti”
“Nathaniel and his team took great care of our boys. They kept in touch with us and sent pictures of them being lazy on the couch. They got a special treat by being able to run and play off leash in their back yard! We will definitely be using Nathaniel again for sure!”
About: We have been owners of a golden retriever for 6 years and are experienced with the needs of dogs. I have also watched friends dogs many times while they were out of town. I'm a homeschooled mom who will have a lot of time during the day to give your dog love and attention. My own dog spends lots of time outside enjoying fresh air and squirrels. I have a fenced yard and can take your pup on regular walks. My kids and I love animals and will be happy to cover scratches and cuddles while you're at work or out of town
“Stacy did an outstanding job taking care of our Nita. She sent pictures to us while we were on our trip of the activities and overall well-being of our pet. Thank you so much Stacy for the compassionate care you gave to our senior dog.”
“Lori was great! I was a little nervous as I had never boarded or left Andre with a stranger but she kept me updated daily. She was very accommodating and responded quickly to any and all messages and questions. I would highly recommend! Thanks Lori!”
“Staci was a dream. We were worried about leaving our dog with a stranger but he seemed to love it there. She immediately followed up on any communication, sent pics often, and was willing to follow any guidelines we had.”
“Nathan is fantastic! He sent pictures and videos throughout and my pup seemed to have a blast! He went to a dog bar, played with neighborhood kids and even helped with yard work.”
“We have used Emily and her lovely family to care for our senior dog on 2 different occasions and we will not hesitate to reach out again if needed. They have been so flexible and kind both times. I appreciate the great and timely communication. It can be a little nerve wracking leaving an older dog (with some issues) but Emily made us feel very comfortable! 10/10 recommend!”
“Derek was great w/Oso. My little bear 🐻 was very calm before & after I picked him up. Derek kept me updated w/great pics & gave great advice on getting Oso out & about more around people & other dogs. He is still a pup & everything is new still, however I agree with him & appreciate his advice. I will probably book him again 😀.”
About: I’ve lived my whole life with at least one pet in the house and shared responsibility in caring for him or her. I took in my own pupper, Benji, in the summer of 2020 as a 4-month-old puppy and trained him myself. My husband and I also have a precious cat named Princess who rules the roost :) We love our fur family, and I/we can’t wait to love on yours! I work a regular 8-5 job that has some flexibility in the morning and afternoon (I can come in later and leave earlier if I need to). I’m free most evenings and weekends. I can take care of pets in my apartment for a short period, but they have to be ok with cats and dogs. I have a cat tree and a litter box, and I take my small dog on a walk 3x a day. I would do the same or more for my clients. I also expect my clients to line out any needs and rules for me in their homes and/or for their pets so I can take care of them as desired.
“Sidney & Shelby are amazing!! They loved on our dog and treated her like royalty! River loved being there and felt like she was at home! We cannot recommend them enough!! Thank you ladies!! You two are incredible!!!!❤️❤️🐶”
“Sarah is absolutely wonderful. She and her family invited my pup into their home and treated him like he was one of their own. She kept me up to date on how he was doing, sent lots of pictures, spoiled him with treats, and allowed him to get comfortable in her home. I’ll absolutely have Sarah watch my pup again when I need a sitter.”
About: I volunteer @ the humane society walking dogs every Saturday morning. I have two of my own. Long time dog owner. World revolves around them. WFH Thursdays and Fridays. I walk my own dogs daily at least once. Try to include them in weekend activities. One of my dogs requires daily medication. I leave them alone for minimal time over the course of any given day. They go to doggie daycare on days I work in the office. I have a fully enclosed fenced yard, 6ft tall. I control and supervise outdoor yard time. Keep screen doors locked. I walk my dogs with a running leash that locks and they are never off leash.
“Danae was amazing! I was totally comfortable leaving Maggie with Danae. I appreciated all of the updates that Danae provided and the pictures that she sent. Maggie takes a while warming up to new people and Danae was so patient and understanding. Will definitely book with Danae again when we need her.”

“Wr needed a dog/house sitter for a last minute trip. I didn't want just anyone, either. Ibqas so worried our dogs were just going to be let out 3-4 times a day, and not get any play time. That was not the case when I got on here and found Ashlee. She was simply amazing! She sent me pictures of our dogs multiple times a day, was always checking in with me. Our dogs usually have separation anxiety and they seemed to do just fine with her! She walked our dogs multiple times, spoiled the with treats, played with them outside for a while! We were very blessed to have found Ashlee. We liked her so much we booked her again when we went to a concert, and we have her potentially booked for our vacation in February! She is a fantastic dog/house sitter. Thanks again, Ashlee! ?”
“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: We live on an acreage. Plenty of space to run, play or chill! We have 2 very sweet dogs that we spoil every day. Every dog has its own personality and we love figuring out what we think they are saying and at times we give them voices/accents/languages. Would a poodle say “hey dude what’s up”. They may here. 😆 Dogs are woven into every part of our day. We keep them with us or they have a fenced yard and decks to nap on. We have 2 very sweet dogs and very spoiled. Our dogs come when they’re called or they hear the magic word. We don’t crate/kennel our dogs but will yours if you prefer, especially puppies not potty trained.
“Tuffy looks happy and well cared for, which really stood out to me. David seems very comfortable and confident handling dogs. It’s clear he actually spends quality time with the dogs rather than just keeping them around, and that makes a big difference. We are grateful.”
“We came in to Lincoln for a wedding and needed someone to watch our dog for the day and into the evening. Shawn and Melissa were quick to offer to help and our dog Twyla felt very much at home. We would gladly bring her to stay again!”
“Staci was wonderful! Sent me pics and updates, was very accommodating and flexible with me. Well priced for a fabulous experience. I was nervous since my dog can be a jerk around others, and she has 2 small dogs, but she had a plan for all scenarios. And the dogs for along fine. Definitely would recommend her.”
About: I care deeply about dogs and their welfare, including love and exercise. My dog Mitzy also loves other dogs and is a gentle companion; she loves to play and make friends. I work from home, so I am available at all times. I will spend time with your pup, and my own dog is very loving. I have a fenced backyard and we have a huge neighborhood area exclusively to us homeowners the size of a football field. Also there are to parks within 5 minutes.
“Alayna and her accommodations for our dog couldn’t have been more perfect! Her sweetness and enthusiasm for the dogs is genuine. We will definitely use her services again and recommend her to everyone!!🥰🐾♥️”

“Derek did a great job with McGee, for his first time going to doggy daycare. McGee seemed to handle the situation well. Derek had good observations about McGee. Will definitely get Derek again.”
“Andrea and Ed and their 3 fur babies welcomed Moose into their home and took such good care of him! Thank you so much, hope Moose can visit again soon!”
“We really appreciated that Jadyn was able to take care of our Roxie last minute. We love that he is really fast in responding back and adaptive to our schedule (which is super helpful). On top of that he is really polite and respectful and Roxie loved him since the moment she saw him :)))”
“Smudge is shy when meeting people at first. I wasnt sure if he would leave the house for a walk with Nathan but No problem! Thanks for the pics Nathan. See you soon. Vicki”
About: My wife and I both grew up with multiple dogs in our families. My wife grew up on a farm with mostly outside cattle dogs and I grew up in the city with mostly inside dogs. When we got married we got a dog of our own. She was our baby until we had kids of our own. She was then the best big sister to our daughters the rest of her life. We have owned 2 boxers in the time that we have been married and truly loved our time with them. We have realized as our 3 girls have gotten older and super involved in activities, we no longer have time for a dog of our own. That is what has brought us to Rover. We would love the opportunity to care for other people dogs in a way that works with our crazy schedule. My wife and I are both teachers and coaches. During the school year we are very busy teaching, coaching, and running our 3 daughters to activities. During the summer our schedule slows way down. We are usually home during the the week and at the lake on the weekend. All/most of my family would be available for pet care Monday-Friday during the summer. We would be available to have dogs in our home or to drive to your home. We would not be able to do any overnights in your home, but would welcome dogs to stay over night in our home. We live in a split level house, so there is no way to avoid stairs. We have a big fenced in backyard with a play set, trampoline, and above ground pool. We live in a quite neighborhood on a side street. We have lots of houses around us with dogs and lots of dogs in the neighborhood. My wife takes long walks daily and would love to have a canine companion. My 3 girls love animals and will spoil all dogs with love and attention.
About: I am an experienced Veterinary Technician that has worked in the industry for 10 years. I had my own pet sitting and dog walking business in Texas for 6 years before moving to the great state of Nebraska. If selected to take care of your fur babies, I will provide detailed accounts of the interaction that I will have with your pets. I am able to give medications and provide basic medical care. You will be alerted when I notice any sign of illness. You will also be notified when they are being cute. My goal is to provide the best care possible while you are away. I will play with them, love them, and treat them as if they were my own. Taking care of animals is my calling and my passion. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your fur babies. I am a stay at home mom and have a flexible schedule to work with your ongoing pet sitting needs. Just let me know what you need! When I am a pet sitter I treat your animals as if they are my own. I pay attention to the details that your pet communicates. I typically can detect early illness and recommend proper intervention to keep your pet healthy. If they are at my house, they are in a fenced backyard and monitored while my dogs play with your dog. I provide plenty of water to prevent dehydration and a nap break to make sure they rest. Be prepared! Your pup will be tired when they return home.

If the owner and dog are comfortable with it car rides for fun and to the dog park are always ab option. We are able to take an animal in at any time. We will both be home on weekends. Plenty of play time. I have a fenced yard. I have cats in the home but gates to keep them easily separated. I have water fountains for easy access to water. I have experience with giving medication and takibg care of animales with barhroom issues.
“I wish I could leave 10 stars! Jasmine was so helpful in helping me give a new puppy a strong foundation in potty training while I was at work. She socialized him with her own pets, and I could count on her punctuality every day. I needed early morning drop-off, and she never let me down! Plus, my dog LOVES her, judging by his wiggle launches into her arms. She’s the best!”
“Infinity was wonderful to work with! It was clear immediately that she cared for my pup and made sure she was comfortable in her home. She provided regular updates and photos and even gave my pup a bath after play time ended in the mud 🤦🏻♀️ I am so thankful our first pet sitting experience with this dog was with Infinity!”
About: We recently said goodbye to our German Shepherd, who we had the joy of taking care of for the last 13 years. We are comfortable with all ages and sizes of dogs. My husband and I both primarily work from home, so someone is almost always around to care for your dog and keep him/her company. We can accommodate most schedules. We have 4 kids ready to give your dog a lot of love and attention. We are gentle with animals, and we will follow precisely whatever instructions you give us.
