About: Hi! I’m an experienced pet sitter/house sitter (3+ yrs) who is passionate about making pets feel safe and comfortable when I’m watching them! 🤗🐶 I am also an active person, so long walks (5+ miles), farm animal needs, or pet medical needs are totally okay with me. I take pride in being able to make my furry friends feel special and enriched during my time with them, so I frequently have clients tell me that their fur babies miss me when I leave! I am also a neat person who is up for completing any household tasks/chores while I’m watching your space. Outside of pet sitting, I have am a masters student (MPP) and researcher, which means I am in the office only occasionally: Mon-Thur, 10am-4pm (~6hrs) Federal Holidays I am off of work. I have a flexible schedule which allows me to come home for a quick potty break in the middle of the day! I am a very responsible, clean, and honest person who prioritizes communication and safety when I am watching your fur babies or your home. I understand the trust that my clients give me to watch over their homes and pets is very very sacred, and I am honored to give my clients the best possible experience. I frequently send updates (i.e. pictures/videos of my activities with the pets, weather reports if there are storms, etc.). I am also available by phone 24/7 for clients to reach out. I am flexible and open to completing household tasks (i.e. watering plants, cleaning, etc.) if need be.

About: Lifelong animal lover offering reliable dog walking and drop-in visits for dogs and cats. I’ve cared for pets my entire life and previously boarded dogs through Rover, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. In 2017 I was an active Rover sitter and boarded dogs in my home for about a year, working with several families and building repeat clients. During that time I had multiple dogs and cats of my own, as well as young children, so I’m very comfortable managing busy households and different pet personalities. Today I have one dog and one cat of my own and am excited to return to Rover focusing on dog walking and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats. I’m happy to help with: • Dog walking (short or long walks) • Drop-in visits for dogs or cats • Feeding, fresh water, and routine care • Litter box cleaning for cats • Playtime, attention, and companionship • Basic medications when pets are comfortable receiving them I’ve also worked in boarding facilities, grooming salons, and doggy daycares, which gave me experience handling many different types of dogs and temperaments. I’m known for being calm, patient, and routine-focused, and I treat every pet with the same care and attention I give my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a wide-open schedule and can be flexible to meet your pet’s needs, whether it’s daily walks or regular drop-in visits. I primarily drive to visits, so I can reach most locations efficiently. To ensure the best care for your pets, I ask for at least a day’s notice when scheduling or canceling visits. Since this is my main source of income, I can be consistent and dependable, giving your pets the attention and routine they deserve. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. Dogs are always leashed during walks, and I adjust routes or pause if other dogs are nearby to ensure a calm, controlled experience. I’m comfortable caring for multiple pets at once, as long as they get along well. I handle pets with anxiety, aggression, or medical needs carefully, following all instructions from their parents. During drop-in visits, I take my lead from pet parents and follow any guidance provided, ensuring I leave the home exactly as I found it — doors locked, secure, and everything in order. My goal is to provide a safe, consistent, and worry-free experience for both pets and their families.

“Melissa is reliable and consistent. We can always count on her to check in on our kitty while we’re away and send us cute photos. Highly recommend!”

“Michelle was absolutely amazing with our cat while we were away on vacation. This was our first time using Rover and it was a super easy process. We really appreciated all the pictures and updates Michelle provided while we were away. Definitely helped ease our mind as this was our first time away from our cat. We will definitely book with Michelle again!”

About: Hello my name is Jason and I have grown up with dogs my entire life. My most recent dogs were a yellow and black lab (Cooper and Carter). As they aged, Cooper became a diabetic which required insulin shots twice a day. Unfortunately he also loss his eye sight because of it. I was his eyes and he trusted me where ever we went. They both lived to the young age of 14 years old. Sadly, I don’t think I could handle the loss of another loving dog but I would be honored to help take care of your lovable pets whenever you need it. I work full time but I work from home so my schedule is flexible. I can take them for a quick walk or if you need someone to stay while you’re out of town I can work from your house. I would be happy to take care of your pets at your house. Whether it’s taking them outside during the day, taking them for a walk, or staying a few days while you’re gone, I am happy to help.

“Marc was exactly what we needed! As soon as Bailey saw him, she connected with him and it was such a heartwarming moment for me. Marc was gentle, but confident, attentive, while allowing Bailey to feel her way through our first meeting. And Marc helped put me at ease as well. All in all, it was a very positive experience. I’m grateful to have found Marc and will definitely be using him in the future.”

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.

“Mark is great with our pup. I think my dog actually looks forward to us taking vacation now so he can get some quality time with mark 😊”

“Gabrielle has been doing drop in visits for a while now; she does such a great job! She is reliable, flexible and she treats our dog like she is her own pet. Would highly recommend!”

About: I have taken care of pets since a young age, and have my own dog, Romeo, who I live with now. I have some professional experience working with dogs, and believe they are truly amazing. I’m currently in school at metropolitan community college in Elkhorn, and I live in the area. I enjoy spending my free time getting to know the community and the dogs in it. I am very trustworthy and know how to meet a dog’s needs. I am very conscious of what they need in order to live a happy life. I will also follow directions related to individual pet needs.

About: Hi! I’m a responsible and caring pet sitter who understands that pets are family. I provide attentive, loving care and will treat your pets as if they were my own. Whether you’re away for a day or an extended trip, you can count on me to keep your pets happy, safe, and well cared for while giving you peace of mind. I am currently working part time as a nanny and babysitter, so I have lots of time on my hands to care for pets. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so for me dog-walking and petsitting both fit naturally into my routine! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow their normal routine as closely as possible so the pet feels comfortable and secure. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medication if needed, and any specific rules the owner provides. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection so they feel safe and not stressed while their owner is away. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I create a calm, clean, and safe environment where they can relax and feel at ease. I keep them on a consistent schedule for feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and rest. I also supervise them closely, give them regular walks and playtime, and make sure they always have fresh water and a comfortable space to settle in. My goal in either setting is to treat every pet as if they were my own and ensure they are happy, safe, and well cared for.

“Patrick and Jillian were fantastic. They took excellent care of my dog while I was away and sent consistent updates. They really went above and beyond. Thank you so much!”
