“I’m so glad we found Kalob. He is probably the best sitter we have ever had. His love for animals is genuine and all our pups loved him and took to him instantly. The updates and photos were amazing. I would welcome any chance to have Kalob take care of our babies in the future.”


“This was my first time using Rover - we booked Eric to drop in on our dog, and he was fantastic. Great communication, punctual, I could tell by his photos and messages what a dog lover he is. I would highly recommend him and we will definitely be using him again in the future.”


“Amanda did a great job entertaining our elderly dog while we were out of town. The pictures we received at every visit were awesome to show our kids when they asked about her.”


About: Currently, I have a good girl that we rescued. She is about 4 years old, 45lbs. Previously, I cared for my senior toothless blind dog for approximately 8 years. I have also dog-sat and provided drop in care for others off and on. My experience is primarily with medium sized dogs but I'm not hesitant to care for a larger or smaller dog. I have experience giving dogs oral and ear medication. I enjoy taking dogs in my care for walks mostly around their neighborhood. I don't mind cleaning up after "accidents". I am also a Mom to 4 human kids and understand how important furry family members are to all members of your family. Thank you for your consideration. I work for LPS so I have summers off. This is my "summer side hustle". I am looking forward to this while also taking my kids to the pool. I have a large fenced yard and my own very friendly dog to keep yours company. I also have 3 kids at home to help burn off energy. I can also crate your dog, if need be.

About: I have had animals my entire life! Mostly dogs that have lived well into their teens, but also cats. Most recently I had my dog Bella for over 12 years and the last 3 we traveled the country try between Seattle and Miami by car. She unfortunately passed due to cancer and not ready to own an animal, but still love having them around . I am great at playing with animals to keep them engaged and teaching commands. I also can accommodate animals to their needs if they need medicine or special assistance. I work from home for an agency based in Canada. This means that your animal wouldn’t need to be locked up all day if they stay at my house my flexible schedule also also allows me to add walks in the day and play time so your dog isn’t in a crate all day. I also have a yard big enough for throwing sticks for added fun! I do have a fenced in yard that would allow for your dog to run around. I also wouldn’t mind going to someone’s house if I needed to as well as I am mobile.

“Marcy was amazing! Very punctual. She gave me an awesome update on Rosie with lots of photos of their time together!! I will definitely use Marcy again. ?”


About: I have experience with deaf, senior and reactive dogs as well as cats. I fostered and trained for Blue River Pet Rescue and have taken dog safety courses with Nebraska Humane Society. I know what it's like to have a scared or sick dog and I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for them when you can't. I am no stranger to a special needs dog and I want to be that person for you and your pet when you need me. My own dog, who passed in April 2025, had CHF and I could barely stand to let him out of my sight. I was lucky that the people who fostered him offered to watch him when needed. Without them, I'm not sure how I would've found someone I could really trust to be patient and kind to him. Now that he's gone, I want to be able to be that person for others. I work completely remote, so I am always home, giving me a great opportunity to care for special needs animals or just animals in general. I work Mon-Fri, 12-8 and weekends are usually free. I live close to a dog park that I took my previous foster to every day and have a nice neighborhood for walks. I have a yard (not fully fenced in) with a tie out leash, though I go outside often and would never leave your pet alone. I got the tie out recently for my foster to help her with separation anxiety but would walk around the yard and area with my own dog for a few minutes every hour or so. I have lots of toys and keep a pet water fountain running at all times. I keep a couple of dog beds throughout the house, so there is always somewhere soft and comfortable to lay down, whether they want to stay close by or would prefer some space. My house is their house while they're here. Besides the trash cans, they are welcome to explore.

“Ashley is lovely! She is punctual, respectful, friendly, & absolutely loves our pup! She has done everything we’ve asked of her and is very helpful. Highly recommend her 😊”


“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.”


“Shannon was great. She communicated well and sent some good pictures of the cats. Additionally she was available last minute which was super helpful.”


“Okami, Lily and Zeke, as well as our whole family, thank Kylie so much for her great care while we were gone! She was very punctual and communicated well. Our fur family didn't seem stressed by our being gone because they were very comfortable with Kylie. We will definitely seek to have her take of them on future times away!”


About: As cliche as it sounds, taking care of pets isn’t just something I do; it’s who I am. Since I was little, I’ve been surrounded by animals of all kinds – from snakes, hamsters, guinea pigs, chickens, and dogs of all sizes, to fish and cats, including elderly pets.🐶🐍🐰🐢🐱 I’ve been there for potty training, administering medication, grooming, scheduled feedings, and maintaining teeth hygiene. To me, animals are pure and down-to-earth, and deserve the same respect ❤️ I don’t do this just for the money – I do it because I genuinely care about animals. I’ve heard too many sad stories about boarding pets somewhere, not getting the care they deserve, and the excessive costs involved, and I want to change that. This home is as much theirs as it is mine. I offer a six-foot fully gated yard, big enough for several animals to bask in the sun or play with toys.🌤️ I have several dog beds (and furniture) with enough space to care for your babies. Even the smaller critters or pets that aren’t cats and dogs! I recently used Rover myself and was initially skeptical, worried, and just overall leery about the situation. 😅But it turned out to be a wonderful experience, and now I want others to have the same peace of mind and enjoyment. I want pet owners to feel confident that their animals are in good hands so they can truly relax and enjoy their own vacation, knowing their pets are having a great time too.☺️ And if I could, I’d give myself five out of five stars, rated highly by Forbes ⭐️for providing top notch safety and security to help ease your pet’s separation from you while you’re away. Don’t hesitate to text me on any questions, concerns, or just to chat about your pets. It’s a big decision to make who you can trust your animals with, and I am happy to help 🫶 The question is how do I fit pet care into my routine- but I don’t “fit it” into my routine. I follow my animals routine, and what they need to be their best self. I am make it a priority on managing potty breaks, feedings, treats, and everything in between. It especially helps that I am home most of my days, and wouldn’t mind more company ☺️ It’s not that I just want to “provide care.” I feel like anyone could do that, but it’s more of bonding with that animal. It’s learning their needs, routine, and having patience with them. My goal is for them to not view me as a complete stranger, and more as a good friend to have 💕With that being said- I would love to take your dog on a walk, feed them, grooming, playing, and giving all the love they deserve! If there is good communication and understanding, I would be happy to help with proper medication or medical needs as well 🩷

About: Since a little girl, I’ve loved every animal. All breeds and all sizes. I’ve lived with dogs my entire life because who can live without, right?! I grew up around 3 eskimos, a samoyed, a poodle, a jack russell terrier, 6 hamsters, and 4 cats! Now I currently have two lovely girls. A 3 year old husky mix and an american eskimo. Myself and my family cared for our sweet 8 pound american eskimo until he passed at 13, he joined our family at months old as “a project, not a pet”, and he sure trooped it out despite the many struggles he came with as a puppy mill rescue I work on the weekends at my part-time job. Aside from weekends, I am available all weekdays except for occasional appointments between 11am and 3pm! I have two very sweet girls 25lbs and 60lbs who have had lots of encounters with smaller dogs and are very gentle. I make sure meals are fed on time and exercise is always included!!

“Marikita is our number one choice for watching our fur babies. The cats all love her, and we love the updates and how much care she puts in to watching them.”


About: Hello, my name is Tracy and I'm a total dog person! Although I can't have a furry friend at home due to my living situation, I volunteer as a dog walker at the local capital humane society here in town. I've had the pleasure of working with dogs of all breeds and sizes, from tiny Chihuahuas to massive Great Danes! There's nothing better than seeing their tails wag and spoiling them with pets and treats. My dream is to own a large piece of land where I can provide a forever home for senior and handicapped animals. Until then, I'll continue to volunteer and do my part to help these amazing companions! I currently work full time and have a part time job on top of that i also volunteer 1 day a week at the capital humane society as a dog walker! i enjoy taking walks around the park and or neighborhood, after our long walk then we would go to the dog park and meet all our other furry friends!

About: Love our pets like we do the children. Always up to date on vet visits and shots, just like the children. lol Have always been pet owners and know they will love us unconditionally. We work full time Monday thru Friday, from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Dogs will be active outside before we leave for work, during our lunch hour and after 3:30 We have a fenced in back yard for the dogs to run freely. We have 2 large kennels if needed, otherwise they will be allowed to roam freely in the house, when we are not home. Dogs are used to routine and schedules, so we try and keep everyone on or close to what their "normal" routine/schedule is.

About: Hi there! I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years and can’t imagine life without them. I’ve had animals of all kinds and have fostered and adopted many over the years. I’m experienced with walking all energy levels, giving medications, and working with anxious or shy pets. Whether it’s a stroll around the block, playtime, or quiet companionship, I treat your pet like family. I’m here to give them the love and care they deserve while giving you peace of mind! I currently have a very flexible work schedule, which allows me to accommodate the needs of most pets while you are away. I would only ever care for a pet if I knew I would genuinely be able to give them my full of attention as I would want someone to do for my pets. I care for every pet as if they were my own—with patience, love, and attention to their individual needs. I follow your instructions closely to keep their routine consistent and stress-free, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, medication, or quiet time. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, whether they’re in my home or theirs. I also provide regular updates, so you always know how your pet is doing. Their happiness and well-being are my top priorities!

“Zoey was super helpful doing drop in visits for my two cats! Their feeding is slightly more complicated and she had no issues working with that and making sure they got all the attention they needed. Also sent so many cute photos that eased my anxiety and made me laugh! Highly suggest her as a pet sitter! Very trustworthy and reliable :)”


About: I’ve owned dogs of all sizes from yorkies to Saint Bernards! We’ve also had a range of other animals over the years. One of my saint’s was a licensed therapy dog and I’ve worked with them all! I stay at home full time during the week and am able to be available very often for your pets needs! I have older children that are also great helpers and animal lovers I have a fenced yard and 2 friendly dogs who are used to having other dogs visit us frequently! In a very safe neighborhood you can trust we will keep your pets safe

About: I began taking care of dogs at the age of 7, beginning with a well-loved family beagle. I’ve spent many years since then taking care of friends and neighbors pets including walking, boarding, and sitting. I had the amazing opportunity and most beautiful experience to own a basset hound for 13 years (age 2-15), gaining insight to senior dog care, specifically arthritis, infections, medication management, and balance/movement inability. Additionally, I grew up caring for rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, geckos, and snakes - currently I am a mom of two lovely guinea pigs - and have extensive experience caring for many different pets with many different needs. I currently work full-time in office with an hour lunch break I am able to take any time to ensure your fur baby receives any bathroom breaks, walks, meals, medications, cuddles, or playtime needed during the day. I have open availability on the weekends. Additionally, when house sitting, I am able to spend all day during the weekends at your home, as well as mornings, evenings, and nights on weekdays depending on your pet’s needs. I have experience walking all sizes of dogs on leash, as well as multiple dogs at a time (including getting harnesses, collars, and leashes on dogs). Additionally, I will ensure all pets only receive their proper diet and any other food or unsafe items are kept in safe locations out of the pet’s reach. I also have reliable transportation to bring your pet to any parks, dog bars, dog parks, or anywhere wanted/needed by you and will work with you to make sure all proper safety measures are taken to provide a safe transport for your pet.

When we arrived home it was clear she had taken great care of him and the two had bonded. We definitely recommend Elizabeth and will always use her as our sitter in the future!”
