“I love my puppies more than anything, so naturally I don't trust just anyone to care for them. So I panicked when I had to go to a convention in Las Vegas. That's when a friend recommended Rover. Thankfully, out of the multitude of people on Rover, I found Emily. She, and her husband, have been truly wonderful in every respect. They took excellent care of my puppies, fed them on time, took them on walks, have them plenty of toys and stimulation, and sent amazing pics regularly. I couldn't ask for better people to watch my dogs. I'll certainly be working with them again for my dog watching needs. Thank you very much for everything Emily!”
“Emily and Nicholas took great care of our Zsigmondy, Cooper. He was on medication, which they gave to him and also let us know how he was doing. We got lots of pictures which were really cute. We will definitely book with them again. Cooper was much happier at their house than at a local dog daycare/boarding facility.”
“We had a great experience with Megan and Jay! They provided frequent updates with pictures. Luna came home happy and well cared for. We would definitely book again.”
“I felt very confident leaving Bella with Leslie. She seemed quite knowledgeable and took very good care of her. She sent lots of updates and pictures. I would definitely use Leslie again in the future for Bella!”
“Halina and Theodor were the most fabulous host accommdating our super anxious dog Ginger for about a week while we were gone on a vacation. They went above and beyond in making sure Ginger was very comfortable in multiple situations and also took care of his medicines and walks. They also shared us multiple pictures every now and then to make us feel at ease while we were so far away on a vacation. We would definitely recommend Halina and Theodore to anyone who would need their services. Totally deserve the five stars and more.”
“Rachel and Newt were just what we were looking for to keep our pup! Our pup seemed perfectly comfortable with them, and loved being able to run around the yard!!! We got lots of pics and feedback! We are definitely looking for our next trip when they will be available!!!!”
“From the time we dropped off our pup, we shown that she would be in great care. Gary and Heather provided consistent updates and photos as promised. We were told that our pup would be “cared for like one of our own” and our experience proved that. They took our pup to the dog park and the dog beach. As a high energy pup, we could tell she was thoroughly engaged judging by how tired she was when she returned home. We would highly recommend Gary and Heather to give you a peace of mind and your pup a loving home away from home.”
“Kelsey and her family took care of my dog for 3 weeks and I don’t think I could have found a more loving and perfect family to care for my dog. I got daily photo updates and after seeing the way they treated my dog like a part of the family I had ZERO worries. Best dog sitter in the Omaha area!”
“It’s the second time we leave our 2 dogs with Liz Marie and her family. They take such a good care of them. She keeps me updated daily with pictures and messages. We’ve tried another person once when she wasn’t available and it was not the same, really. We totally recommend her ❤️”
“Joe was amazing! He was very flexible when we needed to change our reservation and send us plenty of cute pictures and a video of little Hank. We’re so appreciative of his care for our furbaby. Hank was sad to leave his new friends! Highly recommend!”
“Pam did an AMAZING job with our dog, Green Bean! We have never booked a dog sitter before (besides friends and family) and were nervous about how our chihuahua would do, especially considering he has some issues with reactivity and anxiety. Pam (and her husband) put us completely at ease and loved our little guy like he was their own! He obviously adored them. Pam sent plenty of good updates and photos and made drop off and pick up super easy. We can't thank her enough!”
“Kristine was our first ever Rover experience. She and her family were so loving and engaged with our dog. She sent daily updates and pictures and went out of her way to make sure we knew our dog was having a great time while we were away. We intend to reach out to her again in the future and would recommend her to everyone. So much care and kindness!”
“Zach took the best care of our pups while we were on vacation. Our dogs came home relaxed - not stressed at all, and Zach did an incredible job of providing updates and pictures while we were gone.”
“First time boarding Nova and I’m so grateful that I chose Loni. She made me feel at ease during drop off, sent pictures of Nova interacting with her dogs and messaged me of how her stay was going. Loni transported Nova home which was a huge help. I highly recommend her for boarding services.”
“Thanks so much Dawn and Robert for a great stay and experience. They were so helpful and flexible throughout the process and Frank had a great time. Thanks again!”
“Sally did such a great job with our older pup, Lucy. She helped Lucy adjust and supported her medical needs. We had a last minute change and she was great to help up make it work. Great care!”
“Marena was our dog savior! We had a last minute trip out of town for the 4th of July weekend and our regular boarder couldn't watch our dog. Thankfully, Marena was willing to help us out. She's so positive and caring, we had no worries about our dog who can be anxious around new people. I HIGHLY recommend Marena. She's not only an awesome dog caretaker, she's an awesome person. Thanks so much!”
“Abigail took great care of our dog while we were on vacation! She was very responsive and sent frequent updates throughout with videos and photos. Would highly recommend!”
“Lauren is absolutely wonderful! Her kind and caring nature shows through in the way she cares for our pups. Lauren is very detailed oriented, giving a report on how our pups got along with her dog and each other, what they ate, if they rested. We feel very blessed to have Lauren to help us care for our fur family.”
“Great communication! Sent lots of pictures and a couple videos. Made me feel like they were treating my dog like family. Loki got plenty of exercise and attention. Great people. Would book with them again!”

“Josh did a wonderful job taking care of Mali. Mali took to Josh right away when he came for his meet visit which really put our mind at ease. He went above and beyond taking care of her. This was our first time using a rover but I will not hesitate to use Josh again. Mali was happy and well taken care of when we got home from our trip.”
“Here’s a polished review you could post on Rover: Angela dropped in daily from Saturday through Friday for an hour each visit, and we had a wonderful experience with her caring for our cat. The meet-and-greet beforehand was especially appreciated and very helpful — it gave us confidence that everyone would be comfortable and on the same page. She was respectful of our home, clearly loves cats, and treated ours like her own. We especially appreciated how attentive she was to his personality and needs — making time for play and cuddles while also reading his cues and giving him space when needed. She also handled a litter box issue with patience and care, which we really appreciated while we were away. It was obvious throughout the week that our cat was in good hands. We would absolutely recommend Angela to others looking for a thoughtful and reliable cat sitter.”
“Emily was so awesome! She was super responsive, and took care of everything for our 4 cats while we were away. I felt so comforted knowing she was checking on them and making sure they had everything they needed. She sent us pictures and updates which was really nice. Also really appreciate that Emily accepted our booking on short notice during the Holidays - she is a life saver. We will definitely be doing this again!”
“Carol was awesome from the moment I met her! She communicated very well. I was always very prompt with responses to my tax and requests. She did a great job caring for my two cats, and I look forward to working with her again! She’s obviously an animal lover, and has lots of experience with animals.”
“Carina is so wonderful! Highly intelligent and so responsible, with a heart of gold! Felt very comfortable having her watch my kitties while we were away. Can’t wait to have her back again!”
“Mirelsa takes great care of my kitties, Astro and Nemo. Before them, she took care of my elderly Yorkie and gave me such peace of mind. I always look for her name first when I'm booking a pet sitter.”
About: I have had dogs my whole life. I currently own a 7 year old shepherd lab mix and a rescue Yorkie mix (age unknown but at least 5 years old). I grew up with dogs and have experience with many breeds and many mixed breeds. I have experience with oral medications and special needs as well. I live on a small hobby farm and own a horse, 2 mischevious goats, a couple kitties and some chickens along with my 2 rescue dogs. I grew up on a farm and have taken care of many farm animals as well as house pets. I am currently working from home and would love an opportunity to meet and help others with their pets while they are away from home.
“Kyra was great! She kept our senior cats on track and looped us in on how things were going. We really appreciated her help and would definitely ask for her help again!”
“This is the second time we’ve booked with Marlyn and she is great! Our two cats love her and she is very communicative and willing go the extra mile for our cats! We will continue to book with her!”
“Taylor clearly intuitively understands cats/animals and is very diligent about providing daily feedback. I have been able to truly relax on my vacation, with confidence Clem is being well cared for. Thank you, Taylor! 🫶🏻❤️”
About: These are my two kitties, Lux and Diesel! They are my pride and joy, they make up most of my camera roll and take most of my money too haha. I couldn’t live without them! Diesel has a kidney disease and requires prescription food and occasional oral medicine, so I’m pretty comfortable with any specific needs yours may have!
“Gina is so much better than you expect from a pet sitter...she truly went above and beyond with Punky! My cat is extremely old and usually very hesitant around new people but Gina truly understood her and made her feel very at ease. As a single mom I felt even MORE comfortable with her knowing my home and my cat were in her care. She is EXCEPTIONAL and I will most certainly use her again!”
“Keisha was amazing to work with! She was prompt, communicative, and went above and beyond to ensure my kitty was well cared for while we were away. We would absolutely contact her again for future needs!”

“We appreciate the communication and flexibility provided esp with a late scramble with another sitter this past couple of weeks. And, most importantly, we were confident our big fur-baby was happy and taken care of with walks and more!”
About: I have had a dog growing up ever since I was a little girl. I have always puppy sat for past neighbors and family members and treat them as my own! I love dogs, always have and now have my own Bernese mountain dog and chocolate lab! Very available and flexible with time to help care for your fur babies! I can provide as many potty breaks as needed- also have a dog park within our apartment neighborhood! As always I will treat any home I enter with the greatest respect and caution and will welcome mine to any dog I dog sit!
“Denny loved his visit with Sally today! She does a great job sending updates and filling us in. He even recognizes her house and wants to jump out of the car.”
“Will and Bibiana are the best. They have treated my puppy Nella like their own. They have helped Nella and I beyond what I could have hoped. Would recommend to anyone for the best care! Thank you guys so much for all the help!!”
About: I feel that they have such a beautiful and special connection with their owners, which for me is something wonderful and I know how difficult it is to leave it with someone else, but with me your pets will be in good hands. With my fur baby your baby will have a good game time! I work from home so I will have plenty of time to attend to your fur baby needs. I am available for booking on weekdays and weekends at any time I have a patio with a roof where they can play all day and spend their energy, I also have everything your baby needs like food and water bolw, bed and a cage if need it
“Maria was absolutely amazing with my dog! She was super friendly, responsible, and really communicative the whole time. She kept me updated with texts and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. I could tell my pup was happy and well cared for. Maria truly treated him like her own. I 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who’s trustworthy, caring, and easy to talk to!”
“Alyssa was very responsive, sent lots of pictures/updates and Tucker is nice and tired after a full day of playing! Thank you for taking great care of our little guy!”
“Easy and flexible to work with, and my pup had a great stay! Fenced area is not big enough for my greyhound to run but received multiple walks throughout the day instead. Loved all the pics and updates!”
“Ginny always has a great time at Sean’s house. He’s very attentive and has plenty of very good dog friends for Ginny to hang out with. Nice big yard for her to run around in when the weather is nice. Well definitely book with Sean again.”
“Alayna was AMAZING! She watch my brand new pup on super short notice and took such good care of my girl. She updated me all day and clearly knows what she’s talking about when it comes to animals! I’m so happy with my experience and will absolutely have her care for Libby again 🫶🏼”
“Shanelle was amazing with Brownie! She took such great care of him and kept me updated throughout the day with messages and photos, which really gave me peace of mind. I could tell he was in loving, capable hands. Highly recommend her!”
“Fran’s ears go up followed by a cute little head tilt whenever I mention that it’s “time to go see Mrs. Laken” 😀 I can tell she really loves her days there and getting to hangout with Remy and Mouse, other pet friends and of course Bostynn ☺️ because she starts to get so excited as soon as we turn onto the street. I appreciate all of the cuddles and love my girl receives. Thank you from me and Nanny Fran.”
“Fantastic experience! Upper dare care provided on short notice. Our puppy was worn out after a day of play. Very pleased with the care Anna (Xi) provided. Very conscientious, asked all the questions to make sure our puppy’s experience was maximized. Highly recommend!”
“This was the first time for our Richmond! Lauren is super communicative and just getting pictures of Richmond put us at ease. We could tell he enjoyed himself. So awesome!”
About: I've spent 12 years raising and caring for my family's two dogs, even though they're now in a different state. Since recently moving to Atlanta, I am hoping to be around dogs more since mine are so far! I love spending time with dogs and making sure they get plenty of exercise and attention. I bring that same care to every dog I walk. I currently am working from home near Ponce City Market. I love going for walks before and after work as well as during my lunch break. I have a park near by and the beltline to get dogs plenty of exercise! Any special care your pup needs, please let me know.
“Bill and Mary are a great team that took care of our pup and showed him lots of love. We appreciated a "meet and greet" with their dogs and ours to ensure they got along okay. Our pup was able to play very well with their three dogs. From the way he came home tired, he had an awesome time playing with Bill, Mary and the other dogs.”
“Nicole was great! My dog adored her and her dog and excitedly waited by the door in the morning to go to day care while I worked for a few weeks in Manhattan Beach. She was very flexible with timing and accommodating. If I lived nearby I would book with Nicole frequently.”
“He’s FABULOUS! My dog has not been boarded for years and coming to Tom’s home was easy for him. Tom took the time to meet us before he came to stay long term, so when Max saw Tom he was all happy tag wags! This is a miraculous event. I expected Max to be shy and back away, but he trotted into the house like he was an old friend. I am so grateful for Tom!”
“Karla is hands-down the best dog sitter I’ve ever experienced. Her love for dogs is immediately clear in everything she does. She has a spacious backyard that gives the dogs plenty of room to run and play, and her home is always clean, well-kept, and welcoming. What I appreciate most is how she allows dogs be themselves while ensuring a safe, well-managed environment. She pays close attention to group dynamics, making sure all the dogs interact well and play safely. I felt completely at ease leaving Bruno in her care, and that peace of mind is priceless. I would book with Karla again and again without hesitation. Highly recommend!”

“Emily has became our regular dog walker. She’s amazing, so friendly and kind! She’s very trustworthy, it almost feels like you have a family member looking after your pet that way she dedicates herself to taking care of our animals.”
“Taylor has been very helpful. She has come and walked our very energetic dog on a weekly basis and I have had 0 difficulties getting ahold of her or getting feedback about how everything went. She is very sweet and a great choice for your pet!”
“Marlyn was great, per usual! Had gotten some surprise buckeye football tickets and needed a spur of the moment dog sitter for the day. Only one person came to mind in this panic and that was Marlyn. She has watched our sweet Stella before and did such a great job. So much so she didn’t want to come home haha. Marlyn sent pictures and kept us posted the entirety of the day which always puts us at ease. 11/10 ✊🏽”

About: I have taken care of animals ever since I was little. We used to have a golden retriever and I had a lot of responsibility for him. We now have several cats who are all very needy. I always make sure they are taken care of. Additionally, I love taking care of my brothers dogs, which are the dogs in the pictures above. I am currently working part time, so my schedule can change from week to week. If I am working I can take breaks and provide potty breaks. I will use all available resources to make sure your pet is as comfortable and cared for as possible. I am very good at understanding what they want/need by their actions.

I currently have a gsp and take him on walks every morning. We have a large yard so he gets to go out and play often. When watching others pets I make sure to check on them at least three times a day. I tend to stay longer at night so they can wind down and get comfortable before I leave.
About: My 16yo Dachshund-mix has been in my family since her puppy years, and in her old age I wanted to maximize her health-span/quality of life. I walk her every day, make her food, and keep her strong with the occasional wrestling match. (: I have quite a wide range of availability, only working part time for the time being. I'm always hitting parks around me so your dog is in for some adventure! My apartment complex has a fenced in dog park to burn some energy in and possibly socialize. If your dog likes to run in the range of 2+ miles, I'm always looking for a jogging buddy. (:

“Samantha is great! She took a last minute booking to walk our dog. My husband was out of town and I work long hours, and it was so nice to come home to a content and exercised dog. Her taking care of our dog was great peace of mind knowing she wouldn’t be home alone all day! ☺️”

Pets are just as important as people and are family! I make sure to treat my pets and others with care and respect, while also making sure they’re having fun and behaving well! Being the owner of a high energy dog myself, I am well aware of safety considerations as well!
“I found Maeve to be reliable, trustworthy and attentive to my dog's needs. She showed up on time and did exactly what she was instructed to do from our meet and greet. Maeve provided detailed up tp date communication. I would definitely use her again.”
