“Highly recommend Jaclyn! Although I’d kind of like to keep her a secret! You can tell she is dog lover! My dog had fun running with their dogs! Would definitely use her again!”
“Allyson provided wonderful care for our two dogs. She made them part of her family while they were with her. We are very grateful that our dogs were treated with such kindness. She sent lots of pictures. I highly recommend her!”
“We our very happy with our puppy sitting by Dazhi. We received tons of pics and know he was taken on a couple walks. Dazhi was very kind through the app an accommodating when we could pick our puppy up early.”
“Our pup came back happy and exhausted after his stay with Erin. He is certainly enjoying his new home away from home!! We love all of the photos and updates she sends while we are away missing our sweet boy.”
“Chelsea’s care was absolutely exceptional. From the moment Kola arrived, it was clear she was treated like part of the family. Chelsea is kind, attentive, and genuinely loves the dogs she cares for—and it shows in every detail. Kola was happy, comfortable, and clearly well-loved the entire time. I truly don’t think Kola could have been with a kinder, more thoughtful family. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such wonderful hands. I would recommend Chelsea without hesitation to anyone looking for top-tier care.”
“Summer had a great time with Alex and Sarah! They kept us updated and sent us photos and videos regularly, which made us feel at ease. Thank you for taking such good care of Summer!”
“Vance is the absolute best person we’ve ever had take care of our dogs! He is super friendly, reliable, and easy to work with. He reached out to me every day, sent me pics and videos of our dogs, and responded immediately every time I checked in with him. He has a beautiful house with a very high fence, which was important for us since one of our dogs is a high jumper. He even gave our dogs a bath before they came home! After meeting Vance, we never once worried about our babies. They were so well taken care of, and we loved that someone was with them 24/7. They also got to play with other dogs he was watching at the same time. It is apparent just how much Vance loves dogs, and how much dogs love Vance! We plan to always book with him in the future!”
“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”
“Wallie came home tired from his long weekend stay with Amanda and her dogs! I originally picked her because she was close to where I live but I would choose her again even if I lived further. Was provided plenty of photos and am confident that my dog was happy and healthy in her care.”
“Melissa was the perfect choice for our pup, Tito! She was so attentive and caring. He was a rescue and this was his first time away from us… 4 months after his adoption. I was worried he would think we abandoned him. She kept me updated and loved him like her own. Soon after drop off he was comfortable and having fun playing. We will definitely use Melissa again for any future needs.”
“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!!”
“Tory was more than just amazing. This was our first big trip leaving our puppy behind and she was so understanding and helpful. She sent us pictures of Churro playing, gave us daily updates on how he was doing and even accommodated to a last minute (and very inconvenient) change we had to our plans. After getting locked out of our house on accident she willingly took Churro an extra night no complaints or second thoughts. She even offered to do it without pay (though we would never accept such an offer, especially under those circumstances). We would and will recommend her a thousand times over. Churro had such an amazing time, we have never seen him so happy or comfortable while we were gone, he’s usually a nervous wreck. She is a natural with dogs, and it shows in their demeanor with her. We are so grateful for this great experience.”
“Kelly was so easy to communicate with and very flexible on drop off and pickup times. She sent me photo updates during our trip which was so appreciated. She’s just the nicest person and I’d recommend her to anyone who is looking for a sitter!”
“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.”
“Big boy had a wonderful stay. Amber kept me updated with pictures every day of his stay. I would definitely recommend her for you fur kids stay. I will be using her in the future. Thanks Amber!!”
“Thomas was awesome with our fur babies! He sent us daily videos of them which showed them playing and having a great time! We will definitely use Thomas for future boarding needs!”

“Liz was dependable and followed all instructions perfectly. She also did a great job with staying in communication throughout her time as our pet sitter and left the pet with a clean and sanitary environment on the last day. We WILL be hiring Liz again! Thanks for everything and well done!”
“So delighted to meet Jeri and experience her incredible care for our cats during our recent trip. Jeri was so easy to work with and we knew instantly she would not only become our “go to” for future drop in visits. We had no worries upon departure knowing Jeri was in charge. One of our cats normally hides but with Jeri, there was no hesitation. We HIGHLY recommend Jeri! Five stars for sure!!! Thanks Jeri!!”
About: I love dogs and cats. I have had them my whole life! My labrador just passed away so I am looking for some pet interaction! I miss her dearly. I have taken care of both dogs and cats with special needs, behavioral issues, and senior pets. I love taking both on walks, car rides, park trips, etc. whatever they like to do!
“This was the first time my partner and I left our cats longer than eight hours since we adopted them. I knew I wanted to make sure they had someone who could not only to feed them twice a day, but provide a presence for them. Jason took care of our cats while we were gone and when we arrived, it was like they hardly noticed we were gone. They were happy to see us, of course, but they were perfectly content and happy when we got home. Jason gave us constant updates and photos during our trip and honestly left our home better than he found it (we gave it an honest go of cleaning before leaving!). We will definitely try to book with Jason again should we take another trip.”

“Once a day drop in visits 30 minutes: Communication amazing. Very sweet and understanding. My kitties loved her. Enjoyed the photos while I was away missing them 🙂”
“Melissa was an amazing sitter for my cat Scrunchie! She sent pictures and detailed notes every day and took time to play with Scrunchie and pet her. She was super nice and thorough at the Meet and Greet and we felt really comfortable leaving Scrunchie in her care. Would def rebook in the future! Thanks Melissa!”
“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!”
“I recently booked Marc to take care of my cat. She's definitely a less than friendly feline with strangers, and he was great with her. She requires meds twice a day and he had zero issues getting her taken care of. I'd absolutely recommend Marc to take care of any animal if you need help.”

“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!”
About: Your pup must be respectful of cats please. I completely understand curiosity, just not stalking or chasing. I took so much care of our lab when she was 15 and had Cushings. I definitely have a sweet spot for senior pets. She has since crossed the 🌈. Max is our 5 yr old Husky/Lab mix and he's our sweet big boy. We have love for big and small dogs! We have a huge grassy 6 and 4 ft fenced in yard (we connected to our neighbors 4 ft fence - see pictures) and Max would seriously love a friend to play with or just chill with. My husband and I work from home so one of us will be home all the time. We usually go on a mid morning walk and an evening walk, weather permitting. My kids are 11 and 16 and adore animals. We have a cat, Freddy, who loves Max. We will love your pet like they were our own ♥️ My husband and I work from home full-time. Our dog has separation anxiety so one of us will be home when your pet is here! We have a 6 and 4 ft privacy fence, large grassy backyard. Max gets on the leather couch but not our fabric couch or bed. He doesn't ever try. We wake up early to feed Max at 7 so early mornings is a non issue in our house! We typically go on 2 short walks a day (15-20 min). We're a chill household.

“Mark did a great job taking care of our dog Boo. Boo was always excited to see Mark when we dropped him off for daycare. Mark sent several pictures every day, which we loved seeing. We will definitely use Mark again.”
“I recently moved to the Omaha area from the other side of the state knowing virtually no one, and I can’t say how thankful I am to have selected Katie and Brandt from all of the options of pet sitters around me. We were so difficult at the beginning with some various needs/scheduling/etc and they were nothing short of warm and understanding. They are so welcoming and amazing to work with. My dog LOVES going to their home and basically forgets I exist when he’s there. I have a high energy breed and I can tell that they truly take the time to play with him and he is always just so so so happy when I pick him up. I can’t rave enough how much I truly enjoy Katie and Brandt and their care of my dog, I can tell they love him and care for him as if he’s their own.”
“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 😊”
“Hannah is the perfect dog sitter! My Lady Mac went to her for 4 days of doggie daycare and loved every minute of it. She came home happy and exhausted which was great to see as this was our first time having our pup being watched by someone else. Hannah did an amazing job of listening to and following the feeding schedule and watching over to ensure play time was safe for all dogs involved. On top of managing that all, she did a fantastic job of sending pictures and videos of the fun our Lady was having. There was never a question or worry in my mind about how the day was going. When you leave your dog with Hannah, you can be 100% sure that he/she is well taken care of!”

About: I view each dog as a unique individual that needs love and care based on their needs and personality. I understand that some dogs need to be tired out in order to relax and some would just prefer belly rubs on the couch for hours. I love spending time outside and going to the gym so I would love to take your pup on a long walk to get their energy out if that's something they need! I do have experience caring for elderly and handicapped dogs as well and I know they require lots of love and patience. I really value the safety of your pet and home as my first priority so anything I can do to accommodate you and your dogs needs I am more than happy to do so. I like to send photo updates to keep you in the loop and will always defer to your preferences and instructions when caring for your pup. I started petsitting when I graduated high school because I wanted to spend more time with animals and I've been able to meet so many amazing people, and even more amazing dogs ;) over the years. I now have 8 years of experience petsitting, from drop in visits/walks, as well as extended stays in homes caring for multiple high energy or handicapped dogs at once. I'm usually the go-to person for my friends and family to take care of their pets since they know I'm always eager to spend more time with animals. Please reach out for any questions!! I work a Monday to Friday 9-5 job, and am very blessed to have a flexible job where I can leave during lunch and or in the afternoon again if need be. For drop in visits/walks I am available during lunchtime, or after 5pm. If I am staying in-home while you are gone I will swing by over lunch to spend time with your pup, take them outside, etc. If they require more times to be let outside I am typically able to leave another time during the day so they have two breaks during the 8am to 5pm timeframe. I am happy to discuss logistics and accommodate to you and your pups needs! While I staying in your home, or if I am just dropping by to take your pup on a quick walk, I am very conscious of safety and privacy. I understand it takes a level of trust to allow someone in your home when you are gone and am especially aware of locking doors behind me when coming and going, as well as respecting your privacy. I air on the side of caution and will always reach out to you directly if any issues were to ever arise!
“Patrick was always on time, and walked each of my dogs for the amount of time agreed upon. I truly believe he loves my dogs as much as I do! I would 110% recommend Patrick and Jillian! I’m home with a broken foot, and Patrick went above and beyond by helping get my trash out and brining up my packages. This is my first time using any app to help with my dogs, and I was a little apprehensive to let a stranger be with my pets, but I’m beyond thankful, grateful, and pleased by my experience with Patrick. He’d take the dogs for their walks while I wasn’t home, and have complete and utter trust in him. Thank you Patrick for your help during my difficult time.”

“We our very happy with our puppy sitting by Dazhi. We received tons of pics and know he was taken on a couple walks. Dazhi was very kind through the app an accommodating when we could pick our puppy up early.”
“Our pup came back happy and exhausted after his stay with Erin. He is certainly enjoying his new home away from home!! We love all of the photos and updates she sends while we are away missing our sweet boy.”
“Chelsea’s care was absolutely exceptional. From the moment Kola arrived, it was clear she was treated like part of the family. Chelsea is kind, attentive, and genuinely loves the dogs she cares for—and it shows in every detail. Kola was happy, comfortable, and clearly well-loved the entire time. I truly don’t think Kola could have been with a kinder, more thoughtful family. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such wonderful hands. I would recommend Chelsea without hesitation to anyone looking for top-tier care.”
“Vance is the absolute best person we’ve ever had take care of our dogs! He is super friendly, reliable, and easy to work with. He reached out to me every day, sent me pics and videos of our dogs, and responded immediately every time I checked in with him. He has a beautiful house with a very high fence, which was important for us since one of our dogs is a high jumper. He even gave our dogs a bath before they came home! After meeting Vance, we never once worried about our babies. They were so well taken care of, and we loved that someone was with them 24/7. They also got to play with other dogs he was watching at the same time. It is apparent just how much Vance loves dogs, and how much dogs love Vance! We plan to always book with him in the future!”
“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”
“Wallie came home tired from his long weekend stay with Amanda and her dogs! I originally picked her because she was close to where I live but I would choose her again even if I lived further. Was provided plenty of photos and am confident that my dog was happy and healthy in her care.”
“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!!”
“Tory was more than just amazing. This was our first big trip leaving our puppy behind and she was so understanding and helpful. She sent us pictures of Churro playing, gave us daily updates on how he was doing and even accommodated to a last minute (and very inconvenient) change we had to our plans. After getting locked out of our house on accident she willingly took Churro an extra night no complaints or second thoughts. She even offered to do it without pay (though we would never accept such an offer, especially under those circumstances). We would and will recommend her a thousand times over. Churro had such an amazing time, we have never seen him so happy or comfortable while we were gone, he’s usually a nervous wreck. She is a natural with dogs, and it shows in their demeanor with her. We are so grateful for this great experience.”
“Kelly was so easy to communicate with and very flexible on drop off and pickup times. She sent me photo updates during our trip which was so appreciated. She’s just the nicest person and I’d recommend her to anyone who is looking for a sitter!”
“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.”
“Thomas was awesome with our fur babies! He sent us daily videos of them which showed them playing and having a great time! We will definitely use Thomas for future boarding needs!”
“Stephanie and her husband are true dog people. I was really nervous about leaving my overly emotional English Setter & a 4 month old puppy, but they had an organized approach to meeting each dogs needs. Both dogs came home happy and tired out from so much fun. She kept in contact with photos and a video which was great. Overall it was a good experience. I will be a repeat customer if needed in the future!”
“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.”
“I am so grateful Andrea and her family were able to watch my pup while I went out of town! They always take the best care of her. They send plenty of updates and pictures and so I feel great knowing she is being well loved and cared for. You guys are the best! Thank you 😊”
“10/10 recommend!! Will book again. -Great communication even if I couldn’t respond - Lots of pictures!! - Super nice family in general - Worked with me through a last minute trip reschedule!!! Generally just a great experience. If they’re open, definitely use them!!”
