Dog Walkers in Abel, NE

About: I know how hard it can be to trust someone else with your pet. Animals are family, and it matters that they’re cared for by someone who’s calm, capable, and genuinely attentive. I’ve spent many years caring for pets, especially dogs, and I’m comfortable with a wide range of sizes, ages, and energy levels. I’ve raised dogs from puppies to seniors, from about 30 lbs to 120 lbs, and I’m confident working with large and extra-large dogs. They don’t intimidate me, and I truly enjoy their personalities. For several years, I volunteered as a dog foster and rescue transporter, which gave me experience with dogs from many different backgrounds. That work taught me patience, how to read body language, and how to help animals feel safe in new situations. I also have experience caring for cats and small animals like guinea pigs, and I understand how important routines and consistency are. For overnight stays or boarding, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, settled, and as close to their normal routine as possible. My goal is always to help your pet feel relaxed and cared for… and to give you peace of mind while you’re away. I’m an entrepreneur who works mostly online, which gives me a great deal of schedule flexibility. Because of this, I’m able to plan my days around walks, drop-ins, feeding times, and overnight care without rushing. I’m home often and happy to follow your pet’s usual routine so their day feels calm and familiar while you’re away. Clear communication is very important to me. I follow care instructions closely and share updates so you always know how your pet is doing. In a client’s home, I’m careful and respectful, making sure doors and gates are secure and pets are handled calmly and safely. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, supervised environment with safe outdoor time, including access to a large, securely fenced yard when boarding is part of the plan. My goal is for your pet to feel safe and comfortable… and for you to feel confident they’re in good hands.

About: Both Garth and Tracy come from "dog families" where dogs are allowed on furniture, come to family functions, and get together with other family dogs regularly. We both have experience with all types of dogs since we were in middle school. Our dog, Zeke, loves company and is friendly to everyone. We can't wait to meet more furry friends. :) One or both of us is home daily during the summer, making it easy for us to drop in to your home or for bringing your dog(s) to our place for the day and/or night. With our family near, we don't travel often, so we'll have plenty of availability during the summer and on weekends throughout the year. We'll work with you on your preference for care. If you'd like them inside, outside, taken on walks, fed treats or medications on certain intervals, we are happy to oblige. We have a fenced yard and one 6-year old dog who matches the vibe of visiting dogs. High or low energy or something in-between, Zeke (and we) are up for anything!

About: I have always grown up in a household with pets and see them as family members. Currently enjoying the companionship of my 2 fur babies. Throughout my time of loving animals, i have had pets with allergies, a 2 different orthopedic procedures on knees and 2 eye procedures and feel comfortable with giving medications or eye drops. When it comes to my animals, I value the importance of them having the ability to be cared for when I am away and look forward to providing that to other familys. I am available most friday afternoons and weekends for drop ins and walks in the lincoln area. Could consider evenings on additional days upon request. Currently my animals are free roam, but I do have experiance with crate training. My animals enjoy daily walks, mind stimulating activities and practicing of their learned tricks, and lots of love.

About: I love being active with my dogs and participating in weekly activities with them, including agility and obedience training. Dogs need to be physically and mentally stimulated daily for their health and well-being. I am a newly retired teacher of 32 years. I have a completely open schedule and want to fill it with my favorite thing in the world...DOGS! I am a huge walker and love to have furry friends to accompany me. I am very flexible and can make most times work, so please don't hesitate to ask. I also love ALL sizes and breeds of dogs, at my house we have a 13-year-old Morkie named Mollie and a 1-year-old Bouvier named Bert who weighs 95 pounds. My open schedule allows me flexibility for drop-ins to check in on your fur babies. I worked for many years as a teacher and spent so much time worrying about my pets at home; do they need a potty break? Are they lonely? Do they have water? I want you to feel comfortable while your pet/s are at home alone, and am happy to help out however; this can include feeding, walking, or just cuddling. I want to be able to give you peace of mind that your pet is being cared for, so you can focus on your job or commitment.

“Megan was amazing and we were so grateful she was able to step in at the last minute! The dogs loved her!! Would recommend Megan and will definitely be reaching back out!”

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong love and experience with animals. Growing up on a farm taught me patience and responsibility, and I’ve cared for pets of all sizes and temperaments. I offer puppy training basics, gentle senior pet care, and medication support when needed. Most importantly, I provide consistent, loving attention so your pets feel safe, happy, and at home while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work part time, which leaves me plenty of flexibility. I’m available most days of the week to give animals consistent care, attention, and companionship. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping pets company, I can easily adjust my schedule to meet their needs. In my home, I make sure pets have a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of love, play, and attention. Walks, feedings, and cuddle time are always part of the routine. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely to keep pets on their normal schedule—whether that means meals, walks, medications, or bedtime routines—so they feel secure and cared for in their familiar space.

About: I am always available to help you and your furry children! And I love doing it too! I have watched dogs in the past, more for favors than anything, but pets are my passion and I would love to be your choice for a walker/sitter/overnight companion to all the dogs and their awesome owners! We could go to the dog park if you wanted us to, or just stay at home and go on walks and spend some great quality time together. Treats always included! You won’t ever have to worry about your little (or big!) loved one when they’re with me because I promise to provide outstanding care! With me, they’ll get nothing but love and a great new friend and I can’t wait to meet y’all!

About: Caring for animals has always been something I truly love. I’ve spent years helping friends, neighbors, and family take care of their pets, and I treat every animal as if it were my own. I’m very patient and attentive, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I pay close attention to routines, personalities, and energy levels, whether that means long walks, playtime, or just quiet companionship. Building trust with both pets and their owners is really important to me, and I take that responsibility seriously. I have a flexible schedule and can adjust to your pet’s routine. I am currently in college but can do whatever works best for you and your dog. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’m very attentive, follow instructions closely, and make sure pets are always supervised, secure, and calm. I respect your home, keep everything clean, and communicate clearly so you always feel confident and at ease while you’re away.

About: I started my care for dogs when I was 14. I often sit for friends and family when they need me. I am an animal lover who just loves spending time with new animals. I love getting to know all of their sweet personalities. I am currently a student with no more than 2 classes a day so lots a free time to spend with your pets. I would be free to let out your pets multiple times a day and even spend the night if you would like. I am very accommodating when it comes to all types of animals. We can discuss what your animals need in your house and find some type of system.

“Absolutely fantastic! She always takes the time to work with me to meet the pup's needs. It's also clear that she really loves and cares about dogs, and my dog certainly loves her. I can always trust her to visit and care for my dog when I am unable to. Thanks Rebecca!”

About: I grew up with cats and dogs but no longer have any in my house. I miss the fur baby companionship and would love to help you take care of your fur babies until I am ready to get a new one of my own. I work from home and have flexible hours so I am able to work things into my day as needed. I prefer to keep my evenings and weekends with my family but am open to occasional weekend or evening check ins. Our home is not the most suitable for a pet at this time so I am choosing not to board pets. I am happy to accommodate whatever necessary rules are set forth in your home for in home visits and walks.

About: With a full year of hands-on pet care experience, I don’t just watch dogs—I truly connect with them. What makes me stand out is my ability to confidently train puppies, turning those energetic bundles of joy into well-mannered companions through patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. I also specialize in senior dog care, where I provide extra gentle attention, understanding their unique health needs and ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Whether it’s an adventurous play session, a calm cuddle, or tailored care for special needs, I create a nurturing environment that feels just like home for every furry friend. Your dog’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities! I’m currently working part time at a retail job, this would be my side gig! Tuesdays and thursdays I’m pretty much free in the morning, Monday’s and wensdays are free in the afternoon and evening time. Fridays and Saturday’s evening time as well. I’m home for long periods of times and if I’m not there my emergency contact is home everyday of the week. I do have a dog and to keep both pets safe I would ensure a greeting between both. I’d never leave both alone always keeping an eye on you pup! We have a downstairs area at night which is attached to my bedroom for its alone time at night. There would be a crate, dog bed, and doggy food and water dish throughout the night! We have a big fenced back yard and we would definitely let your pup run around out back and we have plenty of toys !

“Ellie has been helping us out by walking our dog, Wally, a few days a week. She is reliable and sends me a picture of Wally on his walks every time! Wally is a high energy dog and he is visibly calmer on days he gets to walk with Ellie! We can tell that he loves his walks with her and can tell that she treats him with love and kindness! He now knows her name and gets excited every morning when I tell him that Ellie is coming to see him later! We’re grateful to have a trustworthy person to spend time with him when we’re busy working. We will continue to hire Ellie as often as we can! Thank you Ellie!”

About: I have 2 of my own dachshunds and also foster for Nebraska Dachshund Rescue. I have lived with large (Newfoundland) and small dogs providing walks and daily care. I can recognize abnormal excrement and report it to the owner. Each dog has their own personality and needs to be respected for the individual they are. I have a dog with some food intolerances (as I do myself) and understand that one food or treat does not fit all animals. My availability varies depending on my weekly schedule. On days I work I would be available to provide an evening walk for your baby. On my days off I could help out most times if the day I am comfortable walking you pet/pup or coming to you house while you are gone to take care of birds, fish, reptiles, rodents. Whatever the need may be! I am available after 1700 Monday through Friday and anytime on weekends. Availability on holidays will vary, but my calendar will be updated to show such. I will follow whatever requests you have for the care of your pet. I will respect whatever diet/treat schedule you have for them. I will make certain they wear their galoshes & sweater for walks if that is what you request!
