Pet Sitting in Valparaiso

“Eric did a great job with our dog, Baxter! He was on time, sent us photos and was easy to communicate with. This was our first time using Rover and Eric made it easy! Will definitely be using Eric again! Thank you!!”

“Amanda is great! She is incredibly nice and my dog immediately liked her, I feel completely at ease with her caring for him. She is experienced, clearly loves dogs and took excellent care of mine. I will definitely hire Amanda again.”

“Kristin was great again! We have used her more than once, this time for just a check-in, feed breakfast, and play a bit for an hour while we were gone for an all-day event. Will always try to use Kristin when we need a Rover.”

“We were so happy with Maddie! She took amazing care of Onyx our black lab and Nia our cat while we were away, sending daily updates with pictures and letting us know how they were doing. Onyx and Nia seemed completely relaxed and happy when we got back, which is the best indication of how well they were treated. Maddie is clearly passionate about animals and we felt completely confident leaving our furry family member in her hands. We will definitely be booking them again for our next trip!”

“Had Laressa come take care of Buster for a second booking. She is a committed caretaker who devotes her time & energy into what will enhance my pets day. She sends extensive photos & details about my pet and communicates everything I should know. She cleans up any waste & trash related to the time she cares for Buster. When I returned, my pet is content & well cared for. My travels are easier knowing she’s taking care of Buster.”

“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!”

“So kind and patient especially with behaviorally challenged pets. My dog is not friendly to strangers and can be scary but Kayla took the time to let me dog feel comfortable and warm up to her and she was able to take care of my dog while I was away. Kept me updated and wasn’t afraid of my loud dog.”

“Kelsey is the best! We know our pets are in good hands, and they love her. Her communication is great and we love the pictures. Thank you Kelsey!”

“Mia has two dogs of her own. One is elderly and needs some extra time, the other is young and full of energy. She is currently enrolled in pre vet at UNL and is a lover of every type of animal. She is responsible and conscientious with your time and pets.”

About: I grew up in a home for rescues and have loved every pet. I adore caring for animals. I'm 19, but have trained almost every dog (out of 7) that I've had. I am extremely flexible, if I have about a day or two notice, I can do just about anything your fur baby needs me for. I would not offer services in my home due to a shy pet of my own. I will, however, groom, take on walks, take to their appointments, let outside, or generally care for your pet from your home.

“Kathi was wonderful with my two dogs! She was flexible and provided pictures and updates while I was away. I would feel very comfortable leaving my dogs in her care in the future!”

“Wow!! I was expecting your average youngster to come walk the dog tonight and get completely manhandled by my dog. Usually the walker and/or care taker can’t seem to get this beast to behave! I spend the whole visit watching and teaching the “canine specialist” how to get this animal calmed down. But Ben….. Benjamin Walked in and took complete control instantly. My usual frenzied beast was now calm as a deaf 14yr old pound Schnauzer. His presence with dogs is unlike anyone I’ve ever seen. You can tell he has had experience! I wish I could rate 10 stars. Will not book with anyone else. Thank you Benjamin Works. He Works hard and Works with dogs and everything he does Works.”

“Tracy has been a wonderful friend to my pets! She has taken most of my dogs on long walks and sat with them while we’ve been gone or swamped at work. Tracy has always shown my pets love and care when we weren’t able to.”

“100% WOULD RECOMMEND AGAIN! Dom takes such good care of our boys! Our babies are very needy & have abandonment issues. They are only comfortable in their own home with their routines. We have very specific care instructions & one of ours needs medication and he fights it. Dom is consistent and he truly care about our boys’ health and wellbeing while we’re gone. We repeatedly choose Dom time after time because of his great communication, consistency, & level of quality care! Thank you again Dom, you’re the best!”

“My dog is an old man at heart, he has bad hips and likes to lay in the sun and sleep most days. i went on a trip and had macy pet sit for me and she did AH-mazing. she cared for his every needs and was very loving towards him. she was amazing, could not recommend her more.”

About: I’ve raised my own dogs from puppies through their senior years, giving me hands-on experience with every stage of a pet’s life. I’m skilled in administering daily medications and have successfully worked with dogs facing behavioral challenges, including aggression. This experience allows me to offer a tailored, patient approach to each pet’s individual needs. I recently graduated with my master's from UNL and am currently seeking new job opportunities. In the meantime, I'm excited to supplement my income by dedicating time to caring for and loving your pets whenever they need me. I provide care in your home while maintaining your pet's routine to ensure they stay comfortable. I focus on building a strong bond with them by following their schedule and offering personalized attention.

About: I’ve looked after many dogs and my favorite thing to do with them is walk them! I am going to be going on walks anyway throughout my day so why not have a furry friend join me! I am currently a student at UNL and I am working remotely for my internship which allows needed breaks in the day and a very flexible schedule. I am mostly looking to walk or feed dogs as needed. I don’t currently have a fence or a pet at my house but there is a dog area with a fence right next to my house.

“I highly recommend Cole for pet needs! He’s a quick learner, patient, and so kind to my animals. He has dog sat and walked for me on several occasions, and even stayed overnight at my home to watch my pup for me. He also takes care of cats! I couldn’t recommend him more. He’s clean, efficient, and always on time!”

About: I have had pets since I was born and often help in pet sitting for friends and family. I have had both dogs and cats and multiple different breeds as well. I am currently in college and have a job, but have time on the weekends and throughout the week at times as well to help. I often take pets on walks and play with them outside. As well as play with them inside and ensure that they are loved and cared for.

“Allie has been dog sitting for me for 12 years. She has a heart for animals that is shown through every interaction she has with my Hank and Sasha. She’s always taken time to get to know them and has also cared for both after surgery. I was so happy to hear that she was putting her services on Rover.”
