“Jamie took amazing care of our dog! She sent several pictures each day (which we loved) and it was obvious Hunter was absolutely spoiled while at Jamie’s house. My husband and I joked our dog wouldn’t want to come home. He was so worn out, he immediately went to his dog bed and didn’t move for the first couple hours after picking him up.”
“Jenny was so wonderful!!!! She took the time to ensure my dog would be a good fit for her and her family. I appreciated this step SO MUCH. During my pup's sleepover, I received photos and updates. I would HIGHLY recommend Jenny!!!”
“Jamie and Daniel are very kind and caring humans. My Bricksly was super comfortable in their home. They were great to work with on everything. Already planning on asking them to watch my dog again.”
“They were wonderful! We had a very happy tired pup upon returning home! They helped us out on short notice and even booked them again for a later date! I would highly recommend as we were extremely please with their care and love towards our fur baby!!”
“Shawn & Melissa provide a loving home atmosphere for your dog. We feel so much more comfortable leaving our dog Ella with them than a boarding facility. She gets some cuddles, love and treats just like home!”
“Aspen was great! This was our first time taking our dog there and we will definitely be going back. We received lots of pictures throughout the weekend and she even took him to the dog park to burn some energy. Overall this was a great experience.”
“Our usual sitter was unavailable so I was very pleased to find Stacy. She was well organized ahead of time with wanting info about caring for Baileys. Our meet and greet went well with her and Pearl so I felt comfortable leaving Baileys with them. I got frequent photos and updates while Baileys stayed with them and really enjoyed those messages. They were cute and funny and it really helped me knowing Baileys was in such good hands. I would recommend her to anyone and will definitely use her again when the opportunity arises.”
About: My whole family has always had dogs throughout my life. I have necessary experience to be able to handle even big dogs. That is why I am confident I’ll be a good fit to take care of any pup while respecting and continuing their specific training and cues. I will be available to let them potty or play outside as often as they need or with what their routine is at home. Just let me know what you need! I have supplies for any dogs needs. And also a fenced in backyard with plenty of room for us to play together. I also have plenty of toys on hand, from balls to ropes to durable stuffed animals.
“Kassidy generously welcomed Tucker into her home for 2 weeks. Pictures she sent showed he was having a great time with her dog. Kassidy was very communicative ahead of the stay so I was confident she would take great care of him!”
“Wonderful!!! This was my first time leaving my dog with someone. Everything went wrll and Kathi has a lot of experience with both big and small dogs. Highly recommend her. Although my dog was so excited to see me, I could tell he bonded with Kathi over the extended weekend.”
“Infinity is amazing!!! She took great care of my pup and was very attentive. She was also communicative and sent me updates everyday which I really appreciated. Pup got lots of love and came back home tired. We will definitely be using again!”
“They took great care of Mr. Wiggins, he was comfy and happy at his sleepover! Ashley & Kyle were flexible and easy to work with, and excellent communicators. Thank you!”
“Remi always has a great time with Scott and Ashtyn and comes home nice and worn out - this time was no different! We always appreciate knowing she’s safe and being cared for while we’re gone. Thank you!”
“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.”
“Edwin & Andrea are very responsible Rover sitters. I received multiple pictures and updates of how our dog was doing. Will definitely contact them again.”
“After meeting Derek, I felt very at ease with leaving my dog for his first time away from me. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about dogs and it shows! Derek was very kind and responsive to work with. He sent a daily update on my dog and included the best pictures!”
“Meaghan was great with our two dogs Stella and Brickle! Brickle has bad separation anxiety and has destructive behaviors if left alone so finding a dog sitter for him has been such a big challenge and Meaghan agreed without hesitation! She took both dogs on several walks a day, sent photos and updates, and cared for them like family! Definitely recommend Meaghan to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and honest pet sitter!”
“Sheila was excellent to work with. Having never boarded our dogs, we were a bit nervous to leave our two “kids” while on vacation. She met all of our dog’s needs and sent all of the pictures we could have asked for. It was great that our dogs got to play with all of her other client’s dogs as well. It was like they were at a puppy hotel! Will use again.”

“Jessica was very professional including communication and throughout her visits. Our dog loved her from the beginning. We arranged 3 drop-in visits for our dog. She was always prompt, kept us updated on how he was eating/taking potty breaks, played with him and sent us several photos or videos each drop-in. She went above and beyond to bring a package in off of our porch and spent a few minutes over the 30 minutes we agreed on for each visit. We highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Maria was great! She checked in the morning and evening, let us know how our cat Milo was doing with notes and pictures. We were so glad to have someone to take good care of him while we were gone.”
“Maddie did a great job with our dog! She was willing to come meet him a couple nights before the scheduled visit and was great about communicating with us when we were gone. Thank you Maddie!!”
About: Hello everyone! My name is Allie and I’m a lover of all animals. I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats since birth but took on caring for my very first cat Prince at the age of 5 and never stopped! Our family currently has 4 kitties (Kitzie, Luna, Pizza and Meatball) and two pups Luke and Charlie. They are all rescues and came to us with a number of different needs. Growing up I spent many of my weekends and summers pet sitting for family, friends and neighbors and now as an adult with a family of my own I enjoy it even more! We believe that animals are part of the family and should be treated that way. That is why when your fur baby stays with us you won’t see them in a kennel or locked in a dog run. He/she is part of our family while you’re away. They are allowed anywhere people are allowed, pampered and will enjoy land to run and play! We provide homemade all organic treats and encourage parents to bring a couple items such as toys, special blankets, or pet beds to remind your pet of home. We go for walks, play fetch, feed according to their diet, send lots of pictures and even an occasional play in the sprinkler if your pup is up for it! Naps and bedtime are comfortable and they will always have something soft to sleep on! Our home is nestled on a small acreage in Raymond, NE giving us lots of room to play and exercise with your pups! Let our home be your pups home away from home and have the peace of mind that they are loved, cherished and spoiled! I’m a stay at home mom and my husband is also currently working from home so we are able to dedicate our time to care for your fur baby while you have to be away. We also have a daughter in high school who is an aspiring veterinarian and loves to help care for all animals big and small. Our property is not fenced but we do have a wrap around tree line. There is plenty of room for your pups to run and play and they will always be supervised. We have plenty of toys to keep your puppy big or small busy and entertained and offer homemade organic treats daily. Your pup is welcome wherever people are! We are able to crate if that is your desire as well. We have two very friendly and social dogs of our own and they love to have friends to play and nap with. We recently installed a catio for our indoor kitties to get some fresh air and to experience the outside in a safe way. This experience is open to any kitties that come to visit as well. COVID-19 Precautions: In order to keep your family and ours safe during this pandemic we have implemented a few precautions. We ask that if you or a member of your family has COVID-19 symptoms or have had contact with an individual who has tested positive or is currently awaiting test results, that you cancel your stay. You will not be held liable for a last minute cancellation in this event and will receive a full refund. Though we typically love to invite people into our home, at this time we have decided it’s best to meet outside and only have our furry friends inside. We will sanitize all leashes, toys and personal items at drop off and pickup. During stays we also try our hardest to avoid other people that are not members of our family from coming over.
About: I’ve loved and cared for cats for many years and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I currently cat sit regularly for a woman who lives in an apartment, and I make sure her cat feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while she’s away. I have experience feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, giving medications, playing, and providing companionship based on each cat’s personality and comfort level. I understand that some cats are very social while others prefer quiet space and patience, and I’m happy to adapt to their needs. Although I can’t currently have pets of my own because I live in a small apartment, caring for animals is something I truly love. I treat every cat like my own and always aim to provide dependable, loving, and stress-free care for both pets and owners.
About: I’ve dog sat for about 8ish years for family and friends. I also have two dogs of my own, a Mini Golden doodle and a Westie. My family also fosters dogs occasionally so I have lots of experience with different dogs and personalities. I work full time from 8:00am-4:30pm but I’m always open to provide care early anytime between 6:00am and before 7:30am. And can provide care anytime after 4:30pm. And am free anytime on the weekends. At home we have a fenced in backyard for our fur babies and let them outside to potty and play multiple times a day. When I dog sit I usually just provide services at the clients home and don’t bring the pets to my own house. But will of course provide the same care and let the pets out multiple times a day to play and potty, and will provide walks for the pets for any client that requests.
About: I’ve had my own cat for 4 years and truly enjoy caring for him. I understand that he can be independent but still need attention, routine, and a calm environment. I’m patient, gentle, and make sure he feels comfortable. I understand cats may love to play or prefer their space. I’ll keep you updated so you always know how your cat is doing.
About: I’ve been pet sitting and fostering dogs since I was in high school and I have two years experience working in a pet store. I have of my own dogs at home! I’m pet-sitting full time currently, so I’m available whenever necessary to care for your pups! I’m available for frequent walks and potty breaks as well as staying for extended periods of time. I’m up for long walks, fetch sessions, or just lying around! I’ll do my best for follow your pup’s routine to make the experience as stress free as possible. Frequent updates to owners and open communication are a must.
About: I have had all kinds of different pets, including dogs, cats, hamsters, hermit crabs, guinea pigs, and fish. I have also taken care of horses and saved a wild turtle. I will watch any kind of pet, even snakes and bugs. I have always been an avid animal lover and would love to meet and care for your pets! I am currently working at a grocery store part-time. I will need at least a one week notice so I can make sure I can be there for your pets. I have no other obligations besides making sure your pets are happy! I am willing to do whatever makes your pets most comfortable. I love sitting on the couch and cuddling or playing outside in the yard! I also love going out on walks or for a treat! I can assist in crate training should that be needed. I am very flexible!
“Dom was the first sitter I booked through Rover and will happily do so again. I wanted a sitter who would enjoy spending time with my social cat, and Dom was great! I'm very happy with the level of care Dom provided not only for my cat but my house as well. They are very responsive and easy to work with.”
About: By day I’m a pediatric dental assistant, by night a dog mom! I have a dachshund/lab mix who is a 10 years old, an Anatolian shepherd who is 1 year old and a Bernese mountain dog who is 4 months old. I enjoy taking my dogs on walk, my 10yr old loves to swim, so in the summer we take him to lakes and a friends pool in the summer time. The younger two love to play fetch and wrestle in the back yard. They all love playing with other furry friends! I’d love to hear from you and see if I’m a good fit for your family! I currently work full time in Omaha, Monday-Thursday with the occasional Friday surgery. I’m most excited for the weekends to spend time with my furry babies. I have a fenced yard at my house, my dogs are all leash trained and closely supervised while playing with others. Willing to follow all rules and schedules as dictated by the owner. Schedules make life easier for everyone! 😁
About: I work in management in the pet care industry and have experience caring for animals with a wide range of personalities, needs, and comfort levels. I understand how important it is for cats to feel safe and comfortable in their home environment, especially while their owners are away. I’m comfortable caring for cats of all ages, including kittens and senior cats who may need extra patience, attention, or medication support. I always take time to learn each cat’s routine and personality so they can feel as relaxed and cared for as possible.
“Emily provided over the top care for Cooper. She tended to his extra needs which made me feel like she was paying attention and connecting with him, not just giving him food and water.”
About: I’ve taken care of every kind of dog and cat since I was 12. I have experience with crate training dogs and maintaining the commands that my client’s use with their dog/cat. I’m very flexible to my client’s needs and always want to exceed their expectations. I’m currently a full time student, so I’ll be available mostly on the weekends to dogsit/catsit. However, I can always work with both of our schedules to accommodate drop ins during the week! I live in an apartment in downtown Lincoln, so it’s not very ideal for pet sitting. I’ve dog sat in multiple families homes, and there hasn’t been any issues or complaints. If it’s over the weekends, I can spend more time caring for your fur baby, even if that involves spending the day or night there too!
About: I have 3 cats, and absolutely love them. I love seeing all types of cats’ different personalities, and bonding with them to gain their trust. I’m an expert at cleaning litter boxes, playing with cats, and giving them the love they need and deserve.
About: I have had dogs, cats, and other animals my whole life and have a lot of experience with a lot of different breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments! I love every experience I have with animals and am always excited to meet new fur babies! I am a full time student and a volunteer softball coach, so planning well ahead of time is very important, but I try to be flexible! I can come between classes or on my days off and my weekends are usually pretty open. I can accommodate to anything needed! I have cared for dogs with many different needs and I have experience with many different care types. I am comfortable with crating dogs or doing anything needed.
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: I grew up on an acreage in the country and have been surrounded by animals my entire life, from chickens to horses. I’ve always had multiple dogs and cats, and my home was often the place neighbors brought stray or abandoned animals. Many of our pets were adopted from shelters or rescued, which helped build my passion for animal care from a young age. I’ve also helped care for stray cats and participated in TNR (trap-neuter-return) efforts, so I’m very comfortable working with animals of all backgrounds and temperaments. I’m a huge animal lover and advocate, and caring for animals is something I truly enjoy. Currently, I work part-time at Dogger Bark Club, a dog daycare and boarding facility, and at Vintage Heights Veterinary Hospital as a kennel attendant. These roles have given me hands-on experience with dogs and cats in both everyday care and more structured environments. I’m currently in college studying Companion Animal Science with a minor in Business, and I’m passionate about building a career working with animals. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I’m trained in administering medications if needed. With my experience in both a veterinary setting and a daycare environment, I’m confident handling pets of all personalities and needs. I prioritize safety, follow routines closely, and always send updates and photos so you feel at ease. I treat every pet like my own and truly love what I do. I’m currently in college and keep a well-organized schedule, so I only take on bookings I can fully commit to and give your pet my full attention. My availability will also be more open during the summer. I have a flexible but organized schedule and make sure I only accept bookings I can fully commit to. I’m available most evening weekdays and weekends typically anytime. I am still in school but with increased availability during the summer I will be more open! Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priority. I take the time to follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any specific instructions you provide. I understand how important consistency is, especially for reducing stress. With my experience working in both a veterinary hospital and a dog daycare/boarding facility, I’m trained to recognize signs of stress, illness, or discomfort and respond appropriately. I’m comfortable administering medications if needed and handling pets of all temperaments safely. I make sure pets are always in a secure environment, whether that means properly leashing dogs, monitoring interactions, or keeping a close eye on their surroundings. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. Most importantly, I treat every pet like my own—with patience, attention, and genuine care.
About: I have had pets my entire life and have taken care of family friends dogs before. My dogs are rescues, so that is training on its own. When family is out of town I take care of theirs, that includes my aunt and uncle, grandparents, and more. I'm a pretty flexible person, I like being up early and I don't mind driving to come take care of animals. I do work a lot, meaning i'll be out and about and am always down to come see some animals. I also love taking animals on a good walk!! I am huge on love and attention, making sure that they are well kept. My dogs are a little too loved, they really love their treats. But I am respectful of all owners rules for their animals and will take care of them to the best of my ability as if the owners weren't gone.
About: I had a dog name scooter I had him ever since I was 3 he passed away now I have a skipperkey she is really sweet I love going out for walks and I love playing with dogs and I am always taking care of my cat I love cats to I can take on any pet in my home but I currently have a home in June and I can take on any pets but snakes and spiders
About: I’ve cared for and loved on many of my own and neighbor’s dogs, cats, any animal really. I’m trusted by many neighbors and close friends to care for their animals and to leave the house better than I found it. Girl Scout rule!;) Right now I’m trying to focus on finishing high school and get my diploma. I’m currently taking online classes and working as much as I can. I will also be taking summer classes at LPS to speed up my graduation process I personally would prefer a fenced front and/or backyard. It is definitely not a problem if you don’t have a fenced in yard. If you choose me as a sitter I will touch base on anything your dog can/can’t have and what they are allergic or sensitive to. Just so I’m aware as I would love to bring your fur baby treats!
About: I have been taking care of three dogs since I moved to the USA in 2021. Previously, I was taking care of a lab and many cats in my home country,Nepal. Last December, my lab had a knee surgery and I was taking care of her, making sure she gets her medication on time and is not jumping around and doing her exercises. I made sure to sleep with her on the main floor so that she won’t have to do stairs and is not hurting her leg at night. I made sure to take her potty using her sling to support. I have experience using different types of pet care equipments. I also take care of my old bind dog. His name is Pete. I make sure that he has his halo on so that he doesn’t bump into things. I keep the dogs water bowl full at all time with clean and fresh water. And feed them on their scheduled basis. I am also active with my dogs, taking them for walks, playing with them, teaching them tricks and basic commands. I am also good at dog grooming. I help keep them healthy with up-to-date vet visits and their monthly vitamins. I currently have a flexible schedule because my classes are online, and I am also looking for a job. Because of this, I have plenty of time to include pet care in my daily routine. I can take care of pets throughout the day, including feeding them, taking them for walks, playing with them, and making sure they are comfortable. I live in a condo where pets are allowed. But I don’t have a fenced yard so I must keep the dogs leashed when taken outside. Also, I don’t have any pets in the condo with me. I am always around to take care of your pets as I don’t go many places.

“Jamie took amazing care of our dog! She sent several pictures each day (which we loved) and it was obvious Hunter was absolutely spoiled while at Jamie’s house. My husband and I joked our dog wouldn’t want to come home. He was so worn out, he immediately went to his dog bed and didn’t move for the first couple hours after picking him up.”
“Jenny was so wonderful!!!! She took the time to ensure my dog would be a good fit for her and her family. I appreciated this step SO MUCH. During my pup's sleepover, I received photos and updates. I would HIGHLY recommend Jenny!!!”
“Jamie and Daniel are very kind and caring humans. My Bricksly was super comfortable in their home. They were great to work with on everything. Already planning on asking them to watch my dog again.”
“They were wonderful! We had a very happy tired pup upon returning home! They helped us out on short notice and even booked them again for a later date! I would highly recommend as we were extremely please with their care and love towards our fur baby!!”
“Shawn & Melissa provide a loving home atmosphere for your dog. We feel so much more comfortable leaving our dog Ella with them than a boarding facility. She gets some cuddles, love and treats just like home!”
“Aspen was great! This was our first time taking our dog there and we will definitely be going back. We received lots of pictures throughout the weekend and she even took him to the dog park to burn some energy. Overall this was a great experience.”
About: My whole family has always had dogs throughout my life. I have necessary experience to be able to handle even big dogs. That is why I am confident I’ll be a good fit to take care of any pup while respecting and continuing their specific training and cues. I will be available to let them potty or play outside as often as they need or with what their routine is at home. Just let me know what you need! I have supplies for any dogs needs. And also a fenced in backyard with plenty of room for us to play together. I also have plenty of toys on hand, from balls to ropes to durable stuffed animals.
“Wonderful!!! This was my first time leaving my dog with someone. Everything went wrll and Kathi has a lot of experience with both big and small dogs. Highly recommend her. Although my dog was so excited to see me, I could tell he bonded with Kathi over the extended weekend.”
“Infinity is amazing!!! She took great care of my pup and was very attentive. She was also communicative and sent me updates everyday which I really appreciated. Pup got lots of love and came back home tired. We will definitely be using again!”
“Remi always has a great time with Scott and Ashtyn and comes home nice and worn out - this time was no different! We always appreciate knowing she’s safe and being cared for while we’re gone. Thank you!”
“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.”
“Edwin & Andrea are very responsible Rover sitters. I received multiple pictures and updates of how our dog was doing. Will definitely contact them again.”
“After meeting Derek, I felt very at ease with leaving my dog for his first time away from me. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about dogs and it shows! Derek was very kind and responsive to work with. He sent a daily update on my dog and included the best pictures!”
“Sheila was excellent to work with. Having never boarded our dogs, we were a bit nervous to leave our two “kids” while on vacation. She met all of our dog’s needs and sent all of the pictures we could have asked for. It was great that our dogs got to play with all of her other client’s dogs as well. It was like they were at a puppy hotel! Will use again.”
“Marie was excellent! She communicated consistently and provided great care for my 7 month frenchie. I would recommend her to anyone who needs boarding or pet care!”
“Michelle took excellent care of my Yoshi Beara, and welcomed him into her home and family! Yoshi came home happy and exhausted from playing with his new friends. Michelle sent fotos often so I could see that Yoshi was well-cared for, and happy! It is so reassuring to know that my little lamb is well cared-for while I am not at home. I have tried other large animal care centers in Lincoln, and was extremely disappointed in them for a variety of reasons. From now on, I am only booking Yoshi's care with Michelle! I have already booked another stay for Yoshi Beara with Michelle! Michelle is amazing, and I highly recommend her to other "pet parents". Thank you, Michelle!!”
