“Abby was wonderful!! Very communicative and followed everything we asked. She even did some training with our dog! Doggie seemed so happy in all the pictures too. Will definitely book her again!”


“Caring, loving, thoughtful! Kirstin was a godsend when we traveled overseas and took care of our dogs. She kept us informed through WhatsApp. We so appreciated her loving care for our dogs.”


“Eric is an outstanding dog and house sitter! He took wonderful care of our Boston Terrier, who is sometimes anxious around new people. She became his new best friend! Eric provided excellent communication, followed our instructions and showered our dog with attention. I enjoyed my vacation knowing our beloved pup was having a great time. I highly recommend Eric and will definitely contact him again!”


“Mya was attentive to all of our pets, and did a great job of communicating questions or issues to us in a timely manner. The house was just as we had left it. We had zero concerns about her ability to care for our animals. She is responsible and showed up when she said she would be there. Definitely will have Mya house-sit for us again.”


“Ashley was great! She jumped right in with our puppy - playing, snuggling, and keeping the pup on a potty training schedule. Ashley’s communication was wonderful, and she sent lots of pictures and videos during her visit. We will definitely be reaching out to her again!”


“There aren’t enough good words or compliments for Ella! She was so dedicated to our pets and completely saved us when our airline flights were cancelled coming home. Thank you so much, Ella!”


“Had some communication mix-ups at the beginning but after that Kayla was great and very responsible with the dogs. She even went above and beyond at the end and washed the dogs bowls for me!”


“Leanne went above and beyond for our puppy, not just on regular days, but also when he was sick. I don’t know what we would’ve done without you, Leanne - thank you so much for everything!!”


“This was our first experience with using Rover. We were pretty hesitant and were indecisive. Ida was incredible to work with. During our meet and greet she made both us and our dogs comfortable and she was very welcoming. She is kind and detail oriented. I could tell she was trustworthy! She housesat for us for 3 days and always updated us on how they were doing and sent lots of pictures and videos. I will 100% use this service again and hopefully Ida will be available.”

About: I have taken care of all animals of many different sizes since I was very young. I love all animals and would be happy to help you out with yours! I also work at a vet clinic and have lots of experience. I am currently only working part time so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I am free nights and weekends as well. I have a very large backyard and a very friendly dog at my house. It is a very pet friendly house with two cats as well.

“Anna was absolutely amazing with our three shelties! We got lots of pictures of them having a blast and daily communication which helped ease any worry while we travelled out of state. Dogs were happy when we got home and I think they are wondering when Anna is coming over again for snuggles 🥰”


About: I’m Elizabeth and this is my baby-boy Umbra, a 3yr old Australian Shepherd. I love dogs, grew up with them, and when it came to purchasing a home, thought about my future dogs first… no, seriously! We have a large, fenced yard with plenty of room for dogs to run and play. Just a block away, we have a lovely wooded area for afternoon walks. Experience - My husband Nathan and I have taken Puppy, Adolescence, and Obedience 1, 2, and 3 training through Greater Lincoln Obedience Club - I was an Assistant Instructor for Obedience 1 - Volunteer dog walker at the Capital Humane Society - I've completed Grooming courses 1 and 2 through Kenl Inn - Pet First Aid course through Kenl Inn - Pet Massage course through SCC continuing education Umbra's Story Umbra is a high-energy, working breed so we got him into dog sports! He loved Agility 1, 2, and 3 until the teeter totter became too scary. We switched over to Flyball and self-taught Dock Diving. Because of his health, we’ve swapped dog sports for trick and sniff training. To keep him active and social we frequent dog parks, Offleash Dog Bar, and dog friendly stores and restaurants. He comes with us everywhere he can, and we’ve taken vacations just for him! When Umbra was a pup, we noticed abnormalities with his eating patterns and stool. For a year, we worked closely with our vet and uncovered severe food allergies, gastroenteritis, and a vitamin deficiency. Thanks to a restricted diet including daily vitamins and probiotics his tummy is doing well! When he was neutered, hip laxity was discovered that would eventually lead to arthritic symptoms. To give him a pain free life as along as possible, we added another daily supplement, started weekly water therapy, and were instructed to administer a monthly subcutaneous shot (Nathan handles the needle). It was discovering his enlarged heart that put an end to dog sports, but he still lives a fulfilling life. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. My day is already structured to include a minimum of 3 exercise / play sessions a day for 30-60mins each. Umbra is well socialized and loves large and small dogs. He would love for your pup to visit! Your dog will receive plenty exercise and play, belly rubs, neighborhood walks, and approved outings and treats. We have toys, puzzle games, and snuffling and lick toys for them to engage with. If they need a contained break, we have crates and a playpen to block off larger spaces. You will receive lots of photos and the comfort of knowing your pet is well cared for. For dog's staying in their own home, just let me know their routine and any special needs.

“Lee always does a terrific job! Our dogs do not trust many people, but they trust Lee and he always takes time to make sure they are happy and comfortable. He takes time to walk them, sit with them, and we could not be happier with how our boys are taken care of. Lee is our go-to dog sitter!”


“Hannah is phenomenal. Super friendly, punctual and professional. Scout is super timid and he took to her immediately and actually gave her a hug on her second sitting appointment, which he never does. I highly recommend her!!”

Elizabeth & Nathan S.
“Over the years, I’ve had Elizabeth and her husband watch my Aussie probably a dozen times and they’re the only ones I really trust. They have a Aussie of their own so they really understand the idiosyncrasies that make an Aussie an Aussie. From the constant eye-contact to bottomless wells of energy, they get it. I get plenty of updates too, from texts to photos and videos. I never worry about him because I know he’s in good hands, and is being treated like a member of the family, not a guest. Highly recommend!”
