“We were very nervous to leave our high energy guy with anyone but Katelyn & Nicholas were the perfect fit! The large yard and other companions kept Bo very busy and happy. They sent us daily updates with pictures and were promt to answer when we texted to check in. Katelyn & Nicholas took the best care of our boy!”
“Keylor and Grace were very accommodating when I was running late and when I picked Molly up earlier than expected. They were gracious and kind and took very good care of our Frenchie. She had such a good time with the bigger dogs; she was sad at home without them.”
“Emily took wonderful care of Aria - I've never seen her more comfortable and relaxed at someone else's house! Received plenty of pictures and updates, was so happy to see that she felt right at home. Would highly recommend and will definitely be using Emily again.”
“Gary and Heather were amazing with our Corgi, Riley! I could tell by the daily pictures they sent that she was comfortable and loved while in their care. We will definitely book with them again!”
About: I’m a stay at home mom with a very flexible schedule and a great space for your fur baby to play! I’ve owned a lot of different dogs breeds my entire life ranging in size from a chihuahua to a golden retriever. I love routine and will follow your dog care needs exactly how they’re used to. They will receive a ton of love, cuddles and play time from me and my three animal loving kids. We have 5 acres of yard space to play and maintained walking trails in the back of our property for daily walks. I will only accept dogs that are potty trained and good with little kids. I’m happy to administer medication, give treats and give you plenty of updates on how they are doing as I know how hard it is to leave your pet with someone else. I am home a lot and have a very flexible schedule. I can give frequent bathroom breaks and follow whatever schedule your dog is used too I have a very large yard to run and play in and have well maintained grass walking trails on my property. Your dog(s) will receive a lot of love and attention.
“Hannah was so kind to accept a last minute reservation for our pup. She provided great updates and sent us photos to let us know he was doing great. We would highly recommend Hannah & Daniel!”
“Bill & Mary were super accommodating with our schedule & arrangements from meet & greet to drop-off & pickup. We haven't left our 2 fur babies with a sitter for a couple yrs now & were nervous to leave them for 8 days in a new home. After meeting with Bill & Mary, we knew our dogs would be in the best of hands! It made for a nice family vacation to know they were well taken care of. They shared pictures/updates during the stay & upon return you could just tell our pups had nothing short of a great time. Highly recommend & will use Bill & Mary for upcoming stays!”
“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!”
“Rita and Brian are exactly what our older dog needed for our vacation (and his). They provided me with updates daily and many pictures. Our dog was living his best life with them. I will definitely be booking with them in the future.”
“We found a treasure when we asked Kelly and Ben to help watch our dog while we were out of town! They love that she wanted to meet our Daisy before we made the final arrangements. That gave us such peace of mind. Our pup walked into their beautiful home, and she instantly felt comfortable. Their home is warm and gave us a feeling that our dog would be so well loved while we had to be out of town. Kelly also showed how much she cared and how knowledgeable she is by asking all the right questions and loving on Daisy like she was already a part of their family. Communication was terrific too! We received pictures throughout the weekend of Daisy on walks and being her sweet and silly self with Kelly’s family too! We are so happy with the experience that we already scheduled another time out of town - knowing that our Daisy girl will be totally spoiled and cared for while we are gone. Thank you to Kelly and her family for loving our dog like we do!❤️”
“I can't say enough good things about Samantha! Leaving my dog, for the weekend is always a little stressful, but she put my mind completely at ease. From the moment I dropped Kevin off, I knew he was in good hands. Samantha went above and beyond in caring for kevin. I especially appreciated the pictures and videos she sent – it was so reassuring to see him happy and having fun. It really helped me relax and enjoy my weekend knowing He was being so well looked after. I highly recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog watcher. I'll definitely be using her services again in the future!”
“We’ve never boarded or left our dog overnight, so we wanted to make sure she’d have lots of attention and wouldn’t have to be crated for hours or overnight. I felt really comfortable leaving our dog with Tina. We did a meet and greet to make sure it was a good fit. Tina sent pictures regularly during our stay and stayed in communication. She was happy and worn out from playing with other guest pups when we picked her up. You can tell that she and her husband really care about the dogs. They will always be our first choice for boarding now.”
“Loni was wonderful! She was quick to respond and immediately eased my worries since it was our first time using the service. She kept us updated throughout the stay and sent pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. Her home is perfectly set up like a doggie daycare, with plenty of space, toys, and comfortable beds. Her backyard is truly a dog’s heaven, and from the pictures, it was clear Oscar was having the best time and was so happy. We will definitely be using Loni again. Highly recommend! 🐾”
“John and Shannon were very sweet with my Maverick. Gave him lots of love during his stay, and sent me photos to update me on how he was doing!”
“Sally was an amazing and very knowledgeable sitter for blue! Even after I had some horrendous travel delays she was super understanding and helpful. Blue truly couldn’t have been in a better home while I was away, I do not have enough good things to say, we will be back!”
“Nicholas & Emily were great with our puppy and put us at ease by answering all our "newbie" questions. We loved receiving pictures every day while we were on vacation, as it let us know she was well cared for and loved while we were away. It was great to see Gabby playing with other dogs and hanging out with the family, as it is important to us that she is exposed to/comfortable with other dogs and humans. We will definitely be booking with Nicholas & Emily again in the future.”
“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!”
“Pam & her family were so awesome with Oscar while we went on a very special vacation, a celebration of our 35th Anniversary. They took Oscar into their family like he was their own. Definitely recommend Pam & her family. As long as it’s not when we need them again.”

About: I have had three dogs, myself and personally trained two of them! Our young growing family will give your pup plenty of attention and love! Your pup must be good with kids and animals as we have two young boys who absolutely love animals and a miniature Australian Shepherd, who will play well with any dog! There are also two barn cats on the property who keep to themselves for the most part. I will send update pictures daily, so you can be assured that your pup is doing great. We can’t wait to host your furry friend! I am a stay at home mom so I can be extremely flexible with schedule and be available for your pet most of the time and attend to the needs of your specific pet. I will be sure to feed your pet as often as they are used to at home and with the food you provide. I spend lots of time outside with the kids so you can also be assured that your pet will be given plenty of outside time! I am happy to leave pets inside if they prefer that as well. With our Australian Shepherd exercise will also not be a concern as he is very playful but he also will leave animals alone if they don’t want to play!
About: We’ve always been big dog people. Growing up around dogs taught us just how much love, attention, and care they truly need and we genuinely believe pups shouldn’t be left alone for long stretches. That’s why we’re passionate about helping others give their dogs the fun, companionship, and consistent care they deserve when life gets busy. We both adore dogs (they honestly make us so happy and bring us a ton of joy), and we’d be excited to play, cuddle, and keep your pup feeling safe and loved. Over the years, friends and family have trusted us again and again to care for their dogs, whether they’re out of town or just need a helping hand. We also enjoy training, and we’re always patiently working on new tricks and good habits with our golden retriever, Daisy! We have amazing work flexibility. We can work around people's schedules. It would just be a matter of coordinating between me and the owner of the pup. In our home, your dog will have a safe, closed fenced backyard to run and play, plenty of toys, and the company of our friendly golden retriever, Daisy. We keep preventive dog meds on hand for things like allergies, and your pup will always have access to fresh water, food, and a variety of treats.
About: I have owned animals my entire life. I have extensive experience with dogs, cat and horses. I am heavily involved in animal rescue which has afforded me a wealth of knowledge, as well as being a pet owner for over 40 years. I can do weekday afternoons/evening. Depending on your location I can do potty breaks during the week. Weekends are my best availability but can make week days work depending on the day. I have the knowledge and skill to provide top notch care, not to mention, I love animals and enjoy cuddles and playtime to ensure they are living a healthy, active life!
About: Having lived with cats my entire life and currently caring for a senior orange cat, I am familiar with both the quirky and complex aspects of feline care. I understand that cats are not just "low-maintenance" pets; they require a caregiver who can recognize subtle signs of discomfort, respect their independent boundaries, and earn the trust of a shy cat. I am fully comfortable with: - Monitoring hydration - Tracking changes in mobility - Ensuring overall well-being - Engaging them with appropriate play that satisfies their hunting instincts without causing stress - Maintaining strict cleanliness routines, which are vital for the health of both senior and multi-cat households.
About: I’ve had my own cats for 3 years and they are my whole world! I have experience feeding, playing, cleaning up after them and administering medication. I also have kitten experience. I understand every cat has a different personality and I’m willing to meet their needs and wants respectfully. I’ll spend time with your cat the way they want to!
“Amy did a great job! She communicated clearly, kept us in the loop, and took great care of our cats. She also brought in the very heavy Chewy boxes that were supposed to arrive after we got back, which was very nice! We will definitely book Amy again given the chance!”
“Arianna impressed me from the start with her great communication before booking. She stayed overnight with my mom's two 14-year-old cats. I came home to two happy cats and a clean house. Thank you so much, Arianna!”
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life. Have taken care of many dogs/cats for family members, friends, and neighbors. I have a 2 year old black lab who I personally trained. I absolutely looooove animals and would be willing to help with anything you need! I am currently working from home so my schedule is very flexible. I am a registered nurse and I am in graduate school to obtain my doctorate. I live in a house and have a very friendly, gentle black lab who can keep your dog company. I also have a husky who will stay in his cage most of the time if we have doggy company (he is a sweetie but not always gentle with other dogs). We have a fenced in backyard and ample walking areas around the neighborhood. I also have many, many, many dog toys (probably too many) that my dog would be willing to share.
About: I absolutely love animals! I grew up in a home full of dogs and cats, and helping care for them was such a big part of my life growing up. I now have a cat of my own, my fur baby, Fish 🐱 I recently graduated from PA school and won’t be starting my job until August, which means I have lots of availability this summer! Spending my days with animals honestly sounds like the perfect way to spend the season. I’d love the opportunity to care for and spend time with your pets! (: I don’t start work until August, so I have a pretty open schedule and lots of availability! I do have one week-long vacation planned this summer, but aside from that, my schedule is very flexible. I’d prefer to handle most pet care during the week, but I’m available on weekends as well! 😊 It’s a single-story home, so I’m always nearby and able to keep a close eye on any pets in the house. We also have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and play!
“We are so appreciative of Jen! She took care of our three cats and house sat while we went out of the country on vacation. She took care of everything here so we could relax and not worry about anything at home. She was responsible and reliable and stayed in touch with us by texting updates and photos every day. We are so glad we found Jen on rover.com. I have told all my pet-parent friends about it. I highly recommend rover and of course Jen!”
About: I love dogs. I have three at home. I would say I am well mannered and patient as well as attentive to their needs. I’ve had many experiences pet sitting and understand the expectations that are required to care for fur babies. I hope you will consider me! I currently don’t have a full-time job so I’m free anytime and for anything pet parents might need for their fur babies! Please consider me! Having multiple pets in my own home makes cleaning more of a chore so I try to keep everything as clean as possible. My dogs are on an invisible fence and have the whole yard to roam but I still try and play with them as much as I can. I would say I am a cleanly person and would help animals in any way I can!
About: I have cared for my neighbors’ cats since I was a kid, along with my family’s own cats. I LOVE cats & adopted my own in college. I am patient with them, loving, reliable & respect specific cats’ needs. I just want to make them feel comfortable and loved!
“Our dog Hank had a great drop in visit with Josh! He won’t stop asking when he’ll see his new friend again. Josh was great! His communication is stellar and he spent some good quality time with our boy.”

About: I'm a stay at home mom with a very flexible schedule and a love for small dogs! I've had Chihuahuas since I was 12. I currently have one who is well socialized and gets along great with other animals. A day in our home is filled with cuddles, exercise, and playtime. I make sure to provide lots of photos and videos of your pet during their time here because I know pets are part of the family and how hard it can be to be away from them. The dogs in my care will have full access to my home. We will provide multiple daily walks and follow whatever schedule you provide to keep them feeling comfortable and at home here.
About: I grew up with a black lab, Macey and a Chihuahua mix, Tootsie and took care of them from when I was young until around the age of 16 when they passed away. I also regularly dog sat 5 dogs at once- all with specific needs, diets and medications before the family moved away. I am comfortable with high energy dogs, I will happily administer medication, and we have 2 acres of fenced in land for your dog to run and play! I am a flight attendant so my schedule varies- usually I work 3-4 days a month and they are never the same. Request and I’ll accept if I’m not flying that day, but other than occasional work I’m pretty much always home! I would love to have a dog but because I’m a flight attendant I know I couldn’t give it the consistency and love it would need- however, on days I am home I would LOVE to have a furry friend to play with. We would be happy to host your dog(s) and let them run around our fenced in back yard, explore the barn, and roam the house. We only accept dogs that are good with children and that are potty trained. We have a large kennel if your dog is crate trained and you would like us to use it, but as long as it’s good with kids it’s free to explore. We can administer medication, give treats, and share lots of love and we hope you’ll trust us with your beloved pups ❤️ P.S. my favorite breeds are corgis, labs and golden doodles :) but I’m not picky, all dogs will receive equal love 😉
“Jen has a great place for any dog! A big backyard for them to play. I booked Jen for two days. The first day at drop off, my pup was naturally a little hesitant (we didn’t have time to do a meet and greet). When I picked him up, he was happy as could be. When I took him on the second day, he couldn’t wait to get out of the car and play with his new friends.”
About: I have had such a huge passion for animals since I was young and I have rescued many strays over the years. Now, I live on a farm with 2 dogs and 2 (rescued) cats. One dog is a senior so I have experience with caring for older animals and handling with sweet care. My husky also loves playing which would be great socialization for your pets too. I don't crate my animals so just know they have the space to hang out and you'll get lots of pictures! I work from home full-time as a mental health therapist so I have plenty of time to take them potty, out for a walk, let them play in the yard, and get some energy out. I have a friendly Husky who would love to play, lots of space to roam, and an unnatural amount of toys! I don't crate my animals but if your dog need his own space, I have a pet room they can relax in or hang out with me in my home office. Safety is extremely important to me, so your dog will be leashed when out in the yard or on walks, and I'll protect them like I do my own.
About: I grew up with farm animals (goats, horses, chickens, etc.) so I have always been around animals. I have done dog sitting before for the past 2 years. I grew up with 2-3 dogs in the home at all times. I just got into training my dog we have at home so I have some experience training dogs but not a lot. I have experience with all ages of dogs, I love all the ages!! Since I’m currently in college online, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. I’m able to plan my day around walks, feeding times, potty breaks and I’m home often, so pets get plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I offer doggy daycare, boarding, walks, feeding, playtime, and general care based on your pet’s needs. I make sure to follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and stress-free. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I provide a clean, secure, and calm environment where dogs can relax and feel at home. I am responsible, attentive, and always make sure each pet is supervised and cared for properly. I also understand how important trust is, so I provide regular photo and message updates to keep you informed and at ease while you’re away. We currently have one dog in the home, we are fostering her but might keep her to adopt. She is a 2 year old, husky/german shepard mix! She loves to play and have fun. LIVE ON BASE!! If you can’t get on, we can schedule a time that works for both of us to meet for pick up/drop off!

About: I have cared for many kinds of dogs since I was in my teens. From neighbors, family and friends dogs being fed, walked or just snuggle times. My dog's bestie has visited many times for overnight stays as well as play dates. I currently work from home so I am home everyday and most weekends. This allows me to play, walk or take out your dog multiple times during their stay. Giving them companion time as if they were home. I have a fenced in area on an acre and half yard with a friendly dog and a dog loving cat. I can easily crate your dog if needed.
About: I have experience with both puppies and seniors. Includes potty training obedience training, dominance training. I’ve worked at a humane society and owned rescue dogs. My approach is to find each individual dog’s motivation to help them grow, learn, and mature. I currently have 2 dogs of my own and enjoy walking and taking them on adventures. I do community work within my school district and would love the added opportunities to fit my love for dogs in my routine more. With dogs non-verbal queues are very important in understanding behavior, needs, and temperament. I pay attention give them good food exercise is a must! When dealing with new dogs, speaking with the owner and what they want is top priority. Setting goals for our poochie pals allows a measurement for tracking success.
“Samantha was amazing! She took our pup in for doggy daycare last minute, was so kind and caring, and took fantastic care of our pup! She sent me updates throughout the day with pictures and was so flexible and accommodating to meet our pup’s needs and provide him with the best experience. He loved running and playing with her dogs and came home so happy! Would 100% recommend her and will definitely be using her daycare services again!”
“Kelsey was very communicative and kept me updated on my puppy's social progress. She arrived very shy and returned the next day with confidence. Thank you, Kelsey, for creating an environment that helped Lila come out of her shell!”
“Monica and her dogs were great! Took great care of Breslin and even took his crazy personality on walks :) He came home tired every day. Was also flexible with last minute timing requests. Will definitely use again!”
“Sharon was great! She communicated with us well and gave us updates on how our puppy was doing. It was our first time leaving our puppy with a sitter and our puppy loved her.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Today marks one full year of using Caitlin for our dog sitting needs. Luna always has a wonderful time there playing with the other dogs. She is always well taken care of, and I have peace of mind anytime I leave her with a Caitlin.”
“Rumi was so nice and responsive to all our messages. She was able to watch our dog on short notice. She sent updates during the stay where Evie seemed to be enjoying herself. Thanks so much!”

About: I am a lifelong animal lover with extensive experience managing a diverse, multi-species household. I currently own and care for a 6-year-old beagle, a 10-year-old senior (and orange) cat, four guinea pigs, and two rescue rabbits. My daily life involves balancing a high-energy hound with the specialized care required for senior cats and small animals. Having managed this "mini-zoo" solo on numerous occasions, I am highly organized, observant of subtle health or behavioral changes, and strictly dedicated to following established routines. Whether your pet is a social pup or a shy rescue bunny, I pride myself on providing patient, attentive care that respects their boundaries and keeps them happy in the comfort of their own home. My schedule is highly flexible! As a college student taking online summer courses with only a very limited part-time retail job (1-2 shifts a week), I spend the vast majority of my day at home. This allows me to provide consistent companionship, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of attention for your pets. As a Type A student, I approach pet care with a "safety-first" mindset. I am CPR and Heimlich certified, ensuring I can stay calm and act effectively in an emergency. My 3.6 GPA reflects my discipline; I follow your care instructions and medication schedules to the letter, treating your house rules as my top priority. I am diligent about double-checking locks, gates, and alarm systems to keep your home and pets secure. I also offer frequent photo updates and clear communication so you never have to wonder about your pet's well-being. My goal is to leave your home exactly as I found it and your pets more relaxed than when you left.

About: I currently have one dog, two cats, and one bunny so I have experience with all kinds of animals! I grew up with dogs my whole life and did a lot of house sitting/dog sitting throughout high school. I absolutely love playing, walking, and spending time with animals. I am currently going to school to become a veterinary technician because of my passion for animals! I’ve dealt with every age before from puppies to senior dogs, so I’m no stranger to clean up and administering medication. I guarantee I will treat your animals with the love and care they deserve! I work part time currently but will be having a lot more availability as I go back to school. I should be available everyday as times may vary. I always take proper precautions when taking care of animals, especially outside. Depending on owners preference, I will always make sure they are with me in the safety of a yard or on a leash. They will always remain with me and in my sight.
About: I've had pets since I was 10. I have taken care of both cats and dogs. Friendly, conscientious, and thorough. Can't wait to walk new dogs/friends. I'm currently off of work for the summer as I teach full time during the school year. I am working on taking time for myself, exercising, and walking dogs. I take care of my pets by either crating them or leaving them in a bedroom when I am out and about. I have a crate for them to use.
About: I have had dogs through my life. I have been accustomed to small and large dogs, ranging from age as well. I have taken care of my friends' dogs at times, so I can do well with daily tasks. I am currently on winter break for college. I am available whenever during the day. I am willing to come whenever you need, even on short notice. Whatever I am told to do, I will follow the rules. I will not mess with the house and leave it as I found it.
About: I love dogs. I have three at home. I would say I am well mannered and patient as well as attentive to their needs. I’ve had many experiences pet sitting and understand the expectations that are required to care for fur babies. I hope you will consider me! I currently don’t have a full-time job so I’m free anytime and for anything pet parents might need for their fur babies! Please consider me! Having multiple pets in my own home makes cleaning more of a chore so I try to keep everything as clean as possible. My dogs are on an invisible fence and have the whole yard to roam but I still try and play with them as much as I can. I would say I am a cleanly person and would help animals in any way I can!
About: I've taken care of various pets since I was 10, and I'm currently 28. I've done a great deal of pet sitting and house sitting over the years. Most of my experience is with dogs, cats, rabbits, and snakes but I am ready and willing to learn more about and care for other animals as well. I love (and have handled) rats and ferrets and some lizards although I have never owned any of those myself. I have been around pet birds but have not cared for any yet. I currently work full time so please consult me to see whether or not our schedules mesh! The times vary and I am flexible. I am passionate about animals and would love to fit you into my free time if I can. I cannot offer pet boarding at my own home at this time due to the disposition of my family pets. I will treat your pet and/or home with the utmost care and respect.
About: I have experience with both puppies and seniors. Includes potty training obedience training, dominance training. I’ve worked at a humane society and owned rescue dogs. My approach is to find each individual dog’s motivation to help them grow, learn, and mature. I currently have 2 dogs of my own and enjoy walking and taking them on adventures. I do community work within my school district and would love the added opportunities to fit my love for dogs in my routine more. With dogs non-verbal queues are very important in understanding behavior, needs, and temperament. I pay attention give them good food exercise is a must! When dealing with new dogs, speaking with the owner and what they want is top priority. Setting goals for our poochie pals allows a measurement for tracking success.
About: Hello! Today I have had around 16 years of pet experience, it started when I was 5 and got my first puppy a dachshund, I have had a love for pets ever since. One thing I prioritize when it comes to pets- is pet safety. That is my number one. I have proper training, knowledge and equipment when it comes to pets and pet safety. I can help any pet with special needs, senior, young, trauma, rescues, I can do it all. I am here to spread love and kindness with something I love the most - PETS!!!!! My boyfriend and I are both 21 with a mature mindset and efficient work. We would love to meet your furbaby! I work a full time job currently- but I make a good schedule for finding time for things I love, Most of my appointments are idea from hours 3Pm-9Pm I can also do mornings on the days I work late (11am-7:30pm) I also work a lot of (8am-2-4pm) My pet in my home is spoiled as can be, loved more than anything and treated like royalty. My pet gets the best of the best. I take safety very seriously. Any pet in my care will be guaranteed safety, knowledge and love. I love to play, dog parks, walks, rides to get pup cups, swimming, these are all fun activities I can provide for pets, (swimming I cannot promise to provide but I can always try)
About: I have taken care of all sorts of animals my whole life. I know how to deal with their temperaments and stress. I’ve never lived without having dogs. I am always the type of person to take a dog in that I find from the street. I have dealt with strays so I don’t just have experience with well trained dogs. I have also watched over peoples dogs for a while and I started walking dogs since I was 9. My grandma had a community that she lived at and I loved dogs so much that I would walk them for free. My passion for dogs will never go away. I currently work front desk at a hotel. I work Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. I am able to walk dogs those days but only before 1 pm. Thursdays and Fridays I am totally free. And depending on the location, I can also do Saturdays. I currently have 2 dogs and they get walked once a day during the night. I also feed them a little differently than usual. I include green beens into their food as well as other healthy powdered ingredient so they are getting the right nutrition. I am fine with watching dogs at the clients home or mine. The only problem with my home is that I already have 2 dogs of my own. So the dog would have to get along with other medium sized mutts. When I have taken care of pets in another persons home, I like having a specific list so I know what’s best for the dog. I’m able to abide by any rules and I don’t mind if the dog needs extra care. I am up for it.
“I can’t speak for how well my dog handled the situation, but she was very prompt in my request, and my fur child was safe at home when I finally got off my 14 hour shift. I can’t thank her enough.”
“We are so happy to have found Samantha on Rover. She is super nice, responds quickly to inquiries, arrives right on schedule and, most importantly, is great with our beagle. Five stars!”

“Stephanie really came through for us in super short notice. I have two pit bull type breeds and I booked her the night before we left with no way for her to be introduced. She came over and was really good at introducing herself and was not intimidated at all. Because of that my Pooh got two walks a day while we were gone on vacation. Thanks Stephanie!”

“We were very nervous to leave our high energy guy with anyone but Katelyn & Nicholas were the perfect fit! The large yard and other companions kept Bo very busy and happy. They sent us daily updates with pictures and were promt to answer when we texted to check in. Katelyn & Nicholas took the best care of our boy!”
“Keylor and Grace were very accommodating when I was running late and when I picked Molly up earlier than expected. They were gracious and kind and took very good care of our Frenchie. She had such a good time with the bigger dogs; she was sad at home without them.”
“Emily took wonderful care of Aria - I've never seen her more comfortable and relaxed at someone else's house! Received plenty of pictures and updates, was so happy to see that she felt right at home. Would highly recommend and will definitely be using Emily again.”

“Hannah was so kind to accept a last minute reservation for our pup. She provided great updates and sent us photos to let us know he was doing great. We would highly recommend Hannah & Daniel!”
“Bill & Mary were super accommodating with our schedule & arrangements from meet & greet to drop-off & pickup. We haven't left our 2 fur babies with a sitter for a couple yrs now & were nervous to leave them for 8 days in a new home. After meeting with Bill & Mary, we knew our dogs would be in the best of hands! It made for a nice family vacation to know they were well taken care of. They shared pictures/updates during the stay & upon return you could just tell our pups had nothing short of a great time. Highly recommend & will use Bill & Mary for upcoming stays!”
“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!”
“I can't say enough good things about Samantha! Leaving my dog, for the weekend is always a little stressful, but she put my mind completely at ease. From the moment I dropped Kevin off, I knew he was in good hands. Samantha went above and beyond in caring for kevin. I especially appreciated the pictures and videos she sent – it was so reassuring to see him happy and having fun. It really helped me relax and enjoy my weekend knowing He was being so well looked after. I highly recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog watcher. I'll definitely be using her services again in the future!”
“Loni was wonderful! She was quick to respond and immediately eased my worries since it was our first time using the service. She kept us updated throughout the stay and sent pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. Her home is perfectly set up like a doggie daycare, with plenty of space, toys, and comfortable beds. Her backyard is truly a dog’s heaven, and from the pictures, it was clear Oscar was having the best time and was so happy. We will definitely be using Loni again. Highly recommend! 🐾”
“John and Shannon were very sweet with my Maverick. Gave him lots of love during his stay, and sent me photos to update me on how he was doing!”
“Sally was an amazing and very knowledgeable sitter for blue! Even after I had some horrendous travel delays she was super understanding and helpful. Blue truly couldn’t have been in a better home while I was away, I do not have enough good things to say, we will be back!”
“Nicholas & Emily were great with our puppy and put us at ease by answering all our "newbie" questions. We loved receiving pictures every day while we were on vacation, as it let us know she was well cared for and loved while we were away. It was great to see Gabby playing with other dogs and hanging out with the family, as it is important to us that she is exposed to/comfortable with other dogs and humans. We will definitely be booking with Nicholas & Emily again in the future.”
“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!”
“Pam & her family were so awesome with Oscar while we went on a very special vacation, a celebration of our 35th Anniversary. They took Oscar into their family like he was their own. Definitely recommend Pam & her family. As long as it’s not when we need them again.”
“I have left my elderly (but active) dog with Will and Bibiana twice so far for week-long trips, and he really seems to love it there! They’re very accommodating and send daily updates/pictures. They have a nice outdoor area for him, as well as lots of areas for him to lounge inside. They also took him on walks. Their home seems very clean too. I cannot recommend them enough!”
“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!”
“Kristine took care of our puppy overnight and was a wonderful host. It was our first time using Rover, and she helped us feel comfortable throughout the entire process. We had an opportunity to have a virtual meet/greet which helped answer many of our questions. During the stay she kept us updated with pictures and provided assurance on how well things were going. 100% recommend. Thank you!”
“WOW!! I dont even know where to begin. As a first time user of Rover, I was unsure how it would go, and Joe exceeded every expectation I had. He was kind, responsive, and made all of us feel so comfortable throughout the process. Manny looked right at home in all of the pictures we sent and I’m pretty sure he would have stayed with Joe indefinitely if we let him 😂 Thank you Joe for an amazing experience and peace of mind while we were on our trip!!!”
“Megan and family were incredible with my dog Indy! I felt so relieved that she could stay with such an awesome family and be taken care of while we were away. Indy is a senior dog so certainly more needy across the board but she was in great hands. Would rebook with them in a heartbeat!”
