“Lynn is the best!! Her love for dogs is genuine and evident. She took care of our furry boys like they were her own and for that, we are so grateful. Her consistent communication, warm thoughtful approach, and calm demeanor were the perfect fit for us and we plan to rebook as much as she is willing! I can honestly say our boys loved & appreciated her just as much as we did!! Thank you Lynn!”

“We have had Haeli watch our dogs several times. She is always friendly and takes great care of our girls. She goes out of her way to leave the house in good shape and the dogs happy. I would highly recommend her.”

“Anita was so kind and easy to work with. This was my first time using Rover and having someone come into my house. She made me feel comfortable and did so well with Lucy! I most definitely will be reaching out to her again for help.”

“Marie was great! She brought along treats to calm Sadie upon arrival, sent pics and comments throughout her stay, and kept our home tidy as well. We’ll be using her services again soon!”

“Mark did such an excellent job caring for our 2 dogs while we were away! He was incredibly communicative the entire time and regularly kept us updated. One of our dogs has a bit of separation anxiety and he did such a good job comforting her through the first day of us being gone. He also probably gave them more exercise than we typically do 😅 and was very trustworthy in our home. Would highly recommend him!!”

“Linda was great with Scout. She arrived on time and sent a picture every day..she managed food and treats and was a great companion for my girl. I hope to have her come again in November.”

“Jason was a great sitter. Our dog loved him! Our dog was also very calm on the eve of our return, so I know that he had a stress free weekend. Jason even managed some last minute meds for us. I would highly recommend Jason!”

“Abigail was a Godsend! We are regular pet sitters ourselves but never needed a sitter. This time we were going away for 8 days and no one could help watch our cat. Out of desperation, I downloaded the Rover app two days before we were leaving, not sure what I needed. Abby’s profile was one of about 10 that popped up quickly. I thought I might just want drop-in service so was fine with her not having a lot of reviews. She was the first and only one we met with. She was quick to respond, flexible and amiable. She also had a desire to work with animals (and current doors). When we met, she brought her sister for safety (also a sweet girl!) and we discussed our needs. We didn’t know what we wanted but decided to ask her to sleep at the house. She was fine with it. While we were gone, she sent pictures and played with other cat a lot. She gave off great vibes so we trusted her easily. We felt our precious kitty, who can be standoffish at times, was well-loved and cared for. We needed an emergency night at the end because our flight canceled. She, again, obliged. Thankfully! We returned to the house in clean condition and she went the extra mile and cleaned her own sheets and towels! We are so grateful to have found Abby and hope to use her in the future!”

“Abby was absolutely amazing! My dog loved her instantly and she was so attentive to his individual needs and anxiety. I was anxious to try out new dog sitters as I just moved to the area but she was always keeping me in the loop and was extra loving to my fur buddy. Will use again!”

“Jenna did a great job caring for our boys and house! She was very attentive and communicated extremely well. The boys were so happy and content when we returned from our trip! We will definitely contact Jenna for our future dog needs!!”

“Alyssa is so amazing. She listens, is attentive, knowledgeable, and has wonderful calm energy. Love that we found her and will definitely be using her services again! Thanks so much, Alyssa, for taking such good care of our pup while we were out!”

“We could tell our girl was very well cared for while we were gone for 5 days. We loved the photos and updates Charity sent. Charity was very knowledgeable at our meet and greet too, and from there we knew she would be a great fit. She was very kind and clean!”

About: Hello! I have been dog sitting for about 6 years now! I love dogs and want to make sure you and your dog feel cared for while you are away! I have taken care of big dogs, small dogs, crazy dogs, calm dogs, and even pets that aren’t dogs! I have also taken care of young and old pups as well! I love spending time with your bestfriend to give them the same love they get from you! I work part-time while in school and have plenty of time to hang out with your pup! I am available any day that you need me to be unless I have a prior commitment. I am willing to work around your schedule for whatever needs your dog has! I am willing to spend the night with your pup if necessary and if it fits with my schedule. I typically stop in to spend time with your dog a few times a day and am willing to stay the night if you need me to!
About: Have had dogs, cats and small animals as pets my whole life. I have been a pet sitter for three years. Spent the last year traveling thru US, UK, and Europe caring for homes and pets. I can provide many more references upon request as I have been using a different sitters site for three years. I will be in the Omaha area December and January. Available for sitting in your home, or daily visits. Enjoy neighborhood walks or yard play time or just cuddles to calm your fur baby. I have experience in multi-pet households. I have experience with administering medication. Clean, reliable and good communicator. I value and understand the importance of respecting people's homes and lifestyles.
“Jason was a great house and pet sitter! He was always very communicative and gave us great updates. Everything was well taken care of for our out-of-state trip. If you’ve read this far, just book Jason. You won’t regret it!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for 5+ years, caring for everything from big dogs to tiny hamsters. I have experience with senior pets and giving medication. Whether it’s daily check-ins or overnight stays, I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy! I’m currently in college, taking classes online, which gives me the flexibility to easily fit in dog walks and pet care throughout the day. I also nanny part-time, so I’m used to managing a busy schedule while staying attentive and reliable. Your pet will get plenty of love, exercise, and consistent care even on my busiest days. When caring for pets in your home, I make sure they feel comfortable and safe in their own environment. I follow their usual routines closely—feeding, walks, playtime, and medication—while giving them lots of attention and affection. I keep your home secure and clean, and provide updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“I recently booked Marc to take care of my cat. She's definitely a less than friendly feline with strangers, and he was great with her. She requires meds twice a day and he had zero issues getting her taken care of. I'd absolutely recommend Marc to take care of any animal if you need help.”

“Shay was a great caregiver for our two pups. She communicated often and sent plenty of photos of their time together. We liked that she asked questions about any concerns she may have had. She left our home in top shape. When we returned, our pups seemed happy and well cared for. We will use Shay again.”
