About: Animals happiness is a fundamental principle that I feel strongly about. This made growing up with and caring for all animals my favorite part of each day! I would love to give your pet you call family a break from their long days of sleeping in. My experience includes living with and pet sitting for dogs of all ages and sizes. Before becoming a pet sitter, I had only owned a cat, but have experienced the joys of all cats personality’s. I’m currently a Junior in college at UNO and have a professional level of experience scheduling around my classes and previously a demanding sport. A part time, high activity, and flexible routine is my cup of tea! My most convenient times are early afternoons and whenever works best for you.

We have a dimmed, quiet place to put kennels during the day to make sure they are safe and comfortable while we aren’t there. Our 2 boys have separation anxiety, and have found a comforting spot that works great for them. We have a pet camera available looking at the kennels that we frequently look at to make sure there are no emergencies while we are gone!
About: I have been around animals of many kinds all my life. I have experience with many cats and small dogs, all of varying ages. I can administer oral medicine and injectables. I currently work at a pet food store, so helping a customer find a healthy food or treat for their animal is my jam. I love my regulars, and to hear that I was able to help an animal feel better based off of a change in diet makes my day. I work part time, with consistent mid morning shifts. I get off at 3 every day except Sunday. I can stop by at your home on my way to work before 10 and after 3. I make sure wherever your pet is stored is secure and safe. I pay specific attention to making sure they have plenty of fresh water. I treat your home like my own.

About: I I have experience pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors, caring for dogs and cats of different breeds and temperaments. My responsibilities have included daily walks, feeding, cleaning litter boxes, giving medications, and providing companionship. I understand how important routine and reassurance are when owners are away. I currently work from home. So my schedule is pretty flexible! Plenty of times to go on walks and playtime! With advanced notice I am very accommodating to meet your needs. I provide loving, reliable care whether pets stay in my home or I care for them in theirs. My top priorities are safety, trust, and maintaining a calm, comfortable environment. I always follow each pet’s routine closely — including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions — to help them feel secure and stress-free.
About: Owned dogs all my life with experience from puppy to end of life. I truly believe our pets are part of the family and should be treated as such I often work from home with a lot of flexibility. I am up early and stay up late so can be accommodating to many schedules I do not have a fenced yard, I leash walk animals regularly. Historically with my own dogs I have underground fencing. Safety and attention are my concerns for animals
About: I grew up in a small town with horses, dogs, and cats. I have been an animal lover since I was just a little girl. My Aunt had a kenneling facility that I helped with throughout the years and growing up. It was more like a little staycation for furry friends while families traveled for various reasons. Customers always came back relieved because they knew that their pets were in great hands. My responsibilities included keeping the living space sanitary and comfortable, feeding, watering, cleaning, exercising, and monitoring the animals' health and behavior, and obviously a lot of added love and play time! I dog sit for a few people (friends/family) here in and stay at their homes when they are gone and love it so much, I decided to check out Rover! I am hardworking, kind, compassionate, and trustworthy. Whether you kennel your dog or prefer not to I am your go-to girl when it comes to any of these needs! Recently moved back to Omaha and looking for a part time job! Book me today! I recently moved back to Omaha and am working part-time right now. My schedule is very flexible, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I do not board pets at my own home. However, I will care for your loved one/ones following your instructions, feeding, providing fresh water, exercising, administering medication if needed, and cleaning up after him/her. I will also maintain the home's cleanliness and security and keep you updated on your furry friend/friends' status.
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my deep love and understanding of dogs! I have two adorable toy poodles one is 2 years old and the other is just 8 months and they are truly my babies. Through raising them, I’ve gained a lot of experience with dogs of different ages and personalities. I’ve spent about a year in total attending training sessions to learn how to read dog behaviors, recognize their comfort levels, and train them with patience and love. I can tell when a dog is happy, nervous, or unsure, and I always make sure they feel safe and cared for. I’ve personally trained both of my dogs, and they are sweet, well-behaved pups thanks to the time and effort I’ve put in. I would treat your dogs just like I do mine—with kindness, attention, and lots of love! I also offer a safe and happy home environment with a fenced-in yard where dogs can play freely and securely. I work from home two days a week, so I’m able to keep an eye on your pet and provide care, snuggles, and playtime throughout the day. I know how important it is for pet parents to feel at ease when they’re away, and I promise to care for your dog like they’re part of the family. Whether they’re a playful puppy or a senior who just wants to relax, I’ll make sure they feel right at home! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because it’s something I truly enjoy and prioritize. I currently work full time, but I’m usually available after 5:30 PM on weekdays to provide care, playtime, and attention to your pet. On weekends, I’m very flexible and available most of the time, which allows for longer visits, walks, or overnight stays if needed. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I’m happy to adjust my schedule to make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and happy. Two days a week, I work from home, which gives me even more flexibility to care for pets throughout the day. Whether that means letting them out for potty breaks, giving them one-on-one attention, or simply being there so they’re not alone, I’m able to provide a calm and caring environment. Since I already care for my own two dogs daily, routines like feeding, walking, and playtime are already built into my day. Adding more furry friends to that routine is something I truly look forward to it’s not just a task, but something I genuinely love doing! When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and fun environment. I have a fully fenced in yard where dogs can play and explore safely, along with a variety of dog toys and puzzles to keep them engaged and entertained. Inside, I have three separate rooms, which makes it easy to give dogs their own space if they need a break or prefer quiet time. Since I have two toy poodles of my own, I also have plenty of cozy blankets, beds, and enrichment toys to help make every dog feel right at home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both the dog and their space with the utmost respect and care—just as I would hope someone would do in my own home. I follow all instructions provided, stick to the dog’s usual routine, and make sure to respect any house rules or preferences. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable and cared for in a familiar setting, while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet like family!
About: Trust that your fur baby will be taken care of as if they were my own. Possibility of becoming more spoiled. I can accommodate any specific needs including treats, toys, affection and attention. I am available weekdays early morning 6am-4pm and can adjust accordingly afterwards if needed. Weekends I am available early mornings and late evenings. Nothing past 11pm. I would always come to your home so that your fur baby is most comfortable and accommodate any specific needs. Incorporating outings and walks as well.
“I can't say enough great things about Angela! She is very attentive to my pet's needs, she lets me know if there is anything of concern while I am away, and she gives lots of attention to my pet to make sure he isn't antsy.”


About: I’ve always had at least one animal since i was a child, I’ve worked as a kennel tech and I’ve been to vet school! I have a couple cats and a dog, they are my WORLD!! My dog had a bad life before I adopted him, and I completely trained him myself with very little help. He is a perfect, well behaved angel now! My schedule is pretty open! I am a stay at home wife and I’m in school, so I have plenty of time on my hands to care for your pets! I am thoroughly knowledgeable on all things dog safety related, my pooch has had a rough go at it so I’ve take courses on animal CPR, de-escalation training, and I am familiar with taking care of animals with health issues. Every pet is different and they all need varying levels of care and comfort requirements.
About: I’ve enjoyed and cared for dogs of all sizes since I was old enough to walk, grew up with German Shepherds, Pit-bulls and a Pomeranian full of energy. I’m currently working remotely and have the flexibility to care for your pet anytime. I manage my schedule two weeks in advance making it a lot easier for everyone. For now I can only offer dog walking services, home-sitting, and day visits. My goal is to not disrupt their routine and help them stay calm while they enjoy some light activity.

About: I have been a lifetime pet owner, small to big. I helped raise 6 vizsla puppies in 2023 and continue to care for 3 of them when they need it. I have two cats myself that I love dearly. I also already work with dogs full time at a doggy daycare!! I am currently working full time so I will have time to take care of your fur baby in the morning and in the evening!! As a dog walker I will respect your home and space by not touching or wandering in spaces that I don’t need to be in. I will also respect your dog and their boundaries, I’m used to dogs that don’t like people and dogs that like people a little bit too much. There’s not much I won’t be able to handle!!
About: I have experience caring for a variety of pets, making sure each one gets the attention, exercise, and love they need. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks or playtime, and keeping pets safe and happy while their owners are away. I am very open to making it my responsibility and giving it my time and effort! I can’t wait to dedicate my time & love to your pets!♥️ I have had my own pup before, and I currently have two cats and they are extremely spoiled and loved! I also have a niece that’s a dog that I always am babysitting!
About: I have had dogs all of my life....big and small. I have trained my malshi to sit and stay and go through the doggy door and reacts to certain commands! Mostly weekends, but evenings during the weekdays work for us as well! I am in sales so I come home every now and then during the day! I have a fenced in yard with a doggy door for small dogs if needed! Our backyard is very large for all size dogs to run around!
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and personalities, including one with severe separation anxiety who taught me how important calm, consistent companionship really is. I work remotely, so your dog gets real daytime presence — not just quick drop‑ins. I will require Wi-Fi to be able to work from your home. I provide steady communication, photos, and a relaxing environment to help your dog feel safe while you’re away. Most visits include a 20–30 minute walk for exercise and enrichment. I typically stay from 8AM until mid‑afternoon (up to 4 PM), giving your dog company during the longest part of the day. My goal is simple: keep your dog happy, calm, and comfortable until you’re home. I work remotely on weekdays, so pet care fits naturally in my routine. I am available for daytime, companionship and walks until the mid afternoon, Monday-Friday. When caring for pets in your home, I keep routines calm and consistent. I provide gentle supervision, regular updates and a safe, comfortable environment for your dog. Since I do work remotely, your house will need to have Wi-Fi that I can access.

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Waterloo choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
