“Lynn was a great sitter with my golden retriever. Lynn was very flexible as i needed to add an additional visit each day. Lynn sent photos and my dog received lots of petting and attention. I will definitely use her again.”
“Amanda did an amazing job taking care of my dog. She was a great communicator, on time, and was able to help with a last minute request due to my original sitter falling through. Highly recommended!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have cared for them most of my life. I currently have a friendly lab mix who loves playing with other dogs. I take her on daily walks and give her lots of outdoor time. I’m confident handling dogs and happy to help however I can! I currently work part-time and go to school, but I do have plenty of time to give your pets love and attention! My schedule is very flexible, and I’m happy to adjust to your needs I live in a pet-friendly apartment near a beautiful lake, perfect for long walks and playtime. My building is secure, and I always prioritize your pup’s safety—whether that’s using a secure leash, avoiding busy areas, or sticking to shady paths on hot days. My own dog is very friendly and used to having other dogs around. If needed, I can crate your pup and provide a calm, clean indoor space for rest between adventures.

Whether your furry friend needs a quick stroll or a long adventure, I offer tailored dog walking services to keep your pup happy, healthy, and entertained. With a passion for dogs and a commitment to their well-being, I ensure every walk is filled with fun, exercise, and plenty of tail wags. Let me help you give your dog the attention they deserve while you take care of your busy schedule! I’m a full time student at UNO.

About: We have five dogs of our own and we foster dogs as well. I grew up with many dogs and cats. I am comfortable working with newborn puppies up to senior pups. We have taken care of litters in our home. We loved and cared for our fur baby Zeke, our first child, until he was 17. I am comfortable with nervous dogs, excitable dogs, and everything in between. Our youngest dog, George, completed his therapy dog training in the spring. I look forward to working with him at hospitals and nursing homes in the community. I believe dog hair is an accessory that goes with everything. Your fur family member will be treated like one of my own! I am available during the school day Monday through Friday. I can do up to 2 visits a day - near 8am and around 1:30pm. We have crate trained our fosters and resident dogs, so I'm comfortable with that if it's your dog's routine. I believe in positive reinforcement! I will only give treats if provided so I can make sure they are safe for your dog and their specific nutrition needs.
About: I currently have 3 dogs, 2 are foster fails. One from a rescue I volunteered for and the other through a family member who made a rash decision to buy a puppy. All 3 dogs are different in size, small, medium and large. All are tan and was not planned that way. Age range is 12, 11, and 8. My oldest has to have multiple kinds of eyedrops 3 times a day. He is unfortunately blind, but he is still happy. I have experience with fostering dogs and working with rescue organizations. I am currently a stay-at-home dog mom of 3. I have time to play, feed, walk or let out your dog anytime during the day and can stay with them for a little while. I consider my pets as family and treat them with love and great care. I believe a person's energy affects how a dog reacts to them, so I do my best to stay calm around dogs in general. I am not super strict and will give love and kisses and bring excited energy when the situation is safe to do so. I like to train my dogs on their basics skills and tricks because I do believe that makes life easier for everyone. I am not opposed to crate training or using it when necessary.
“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!!”

“Melissa is great with communication and my K9 kids LOVE her. I've booked her for two separate upcoming weeks while I'm away for work. She's also officially my permanent sitter.”
“Alyssa was amazing!! She sent picks the whole time, updates about how the dogs were doing, she even cleaned up vomit for us! It was such a weight off my mind to know the dogs were in such great hands! We will definitely book with Alyssa again!”
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’m back after a short hiatus!! I’m a lifelong animal lover but cannot have pets of my own at this time because of my housing situation. But turns out, this works out perfectly! So many people need a loving, responsible and reliable person to care for their homes and pets while they are away, so I am able to help out and also get my puppy/kitty cuddle fix! My 22 year old daughter and I do many jobs together, so we are basically two sitters in one! (Of course, I am always the sitter on any job booked through Rover.) I am self employed, so I have flexibility to work around your pet’s needs. I am available to spend the time needed to not only show your pets love and attention, but see to the needs of your home, plants, mailbox… you get the idea! And I will always be transparent about the times that I do need to be away, so that you can be sure you are choosing the right sitter for your pet’s needs. I do my very best to accommodate whatever your furbabies are used to so that they have the least possible amount of disruption to their lives when you are away. My hope is that your pets will soon see me as part of their family and will feel just as comfortable when I am there as when you are. (Don’t worry…. I will make sure they still love YOU more!)
About: I have always had dogs. I have trained dogs for years, including hunting dogs. I have helped others with their animals throughout the years as well. I also take care of a farm and their animals from time to time just north of Omaha she would be a reference. I work remotely, so I’m home all the time unless I need to run a quick errand. There is direct access into my apartment, so no need to go through hallways. I will treat them like they’re my own and we walked every day. I have a park here. I also live right next to Lake Zirinsky so taking a walk at the park is easy.
“Gabby is amazing with our Bowie boy! He absolutely adores her & goes BANANAS with excitement every time she walks in the door. We originally hired her to cover a vacation, but Bowies loves her so much we are going to have Gabby come back weekly! He’s a big, strong dog & she handles him & his craziness with ease!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
