About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I am comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I also volunteered at an animal shelter, where I worked with animals of different temperaments and learned the importance of patience and attentive care. I am a college student home for the summer with a flexible schedule. I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care, whether that means walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, or keeping your pet company. I am reliable, responsive, and committed to following your pet's routine! Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, and routines. I understand that every pet is different and will provide patient, attentive care while keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

About: My rates reflect the level of care and experience I provide. I’ve worked in both an animal hospital and a boarding facility, and I have over 10 years of hands on experience with dogs of all ages. I’m trained to administer medications (including injections) and I’m currently studying to become a veterinary technician. Your dog isn’t staying in a kennel they’re getting personalized attention in a safe home environment, along with knowledgeable care you won’t find in standard boarding. I’m also able to provide nail trims and ear cleanings for a small additional charge. My goal is to make sure your furbaby feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away😊 Pet care blends naturally into my everyday life because I’m home all day with my baby. We spend most of our time in the living room or outside, so having dogs around just feels like adding more family to our routine. I’m able to give them plenty of attention, snuggles, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day. Since I’m always home, I can really focus on making sure each pup feels safe, loved, and comfortable, just like they would with their own family! In my home, pets have plenty of space to relax and play. I have a fully fenced yard and a friendly, playful Labrador who loves having company. I also have a cat who thinks he’s a dog himself and adapts to other animals very fast! I focus on creating a calm, welcoming environment where each pet feels like part of the family. Dogs get regular potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention throughout the day. I keep routines consistent so they feel secure, and I always monitor interactions to make sure every pet is happy and comfortable.

About: I've been caring for family and friends' dogs since I was 15. Currently, I help train future service dogs with canine companions. I also have two fur babies of my own whom I love. I'm currently working full-time at the Omaha Country Club as a pool service lead. My schedule changes from week to week, but I am available for most of the day during the week and all day on Sundays. I do not have a fenced yard, but I do have yard chains available. I currently crate my dogs when they are not at home; otherwise, they have free rein of the house. I want to keep overnight visits in the dogs' home, as I do not want to disrupt anyone's safe space.

About: I grew up with animals of all kinds, so I am no stranger to the amount of responsibility that it requires to take care of them. Your pets are in good hands with me. My services include drop-in care for feeding and playing as well as walks. I am good at getting out that extra energy they have built up from being stuck at home. I currently work full-time as a nurse on the weekends, so I’m free during the week for your pet care needs. I have open availability four days out of the week and can come multiple times per day if needed. I live in a dog friendly apartment community. I have a fenced yard and live near a dog park as well as a lot of walkable areas. I will abide by your instructions and preferences. Just let me know what is best for your pets.

About: I have extensive experience working with a wide range of animals, including wild, domestic, and farm species.

Caring for animals is not just a job for me; it’s a calling that I approach with great enthusiasm and responsibility. I love visiting other people’s pets and caring for them!

With clients though I make sure they give me a list of directions so I do not miss any specifics.

About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover and proud dog and cat mom to 2 dogs and 5 cats. They are truly my fur babies, so I completely understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for yours. I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs. I raised my youngest from a puppy and handled all of his training myself, so I’m comfortable reinforcing routines and training. My oldest dog takes medication and is a little slower these days, so I’m experienced with senior care and administering medications when needed. I do work short 4-hour shifts on some days. I am still available for overnight stays and house sitting, but during those bookings I would need to step away for up to 4 hours at a time for work. I will always return promptly and make sure your dog is let out, fed, walked, and given plenty of attention and love in between. Your pet’s comfort and care will always be a priority. If a booking is made at least two weeks in advance, I’m happy to request time off so I can be fully present and stay with your dog full-time, day and night. If you trust me with your babies, I promise to treat them like family. I have a full time work from home job so my schedule is very flexible. I can make myself available almost any time. Week days or weekends. I have leashes, harnesses, treats, dog poop bags. I can bring whatever you need to watch your babies. I will care for your baby as my own and follow any instructions you give.

About: I have personal experience caring for both dogs and cats. I helped care for a small family dog for about 3 years, assisting with feeding, daily care, and attention. I also independently cared for my own cat for several months, managing feeding, cleaning, and overall care. Pet care has been part of my daily routine. I would come home during lunch breaks to check on and care for my pet, and after work I handled feeding, cleaning, and attention. I’m also generally free on weekends for consistent pet care and supervision. I make sure pets are cared for in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment while following any instructions provided by the owner. I focus on keeping pets supervised, maintaining their routines, providing attention and care, and making sure they feel comfortable and secure at all times.

About: I’ve had a dog for 17 years of my life and love all animals! I have pet sit for friends and family; everything from cats, dogs, fish, and small rodents. I’ve had a senior dog before and also a puppy so I do know how to navigate those particular needs. I am an occupational therapy graduate student so I have a lot of free time throughout the day. I’m available every 2-4 hours for pet care and am able to spend time at your home if your pet needs some extra love and attention! Also, I’m available some week nights and weekends to board in your home. I have a very spoiled fur baby of my own! The safety, well-being, and happiness of your pet(s) are my top priority! I understand that leaving your beloved pet in care of someone else is a significant decision, and I aim to provide the highest quality of care possible that offers peace of mind for you!

About: I have taken care of animals on and off personally and for others since I was 15. I love animals and would love to help out others who need someone to trust! I am currently not working, so I am available at all hours! I can do live in or check ins, and just love spending time with animals. I have a fenced yard but some roommates, so taking care of animals at my home is not realistic, as well as against my lease.

About: I have always been the go to nieghbor to help out with a pet. Caring for everythig from a tarantula to a horse has prepared me for whatever life decides to throw. I know how to train puppies but have a lot of experience with senior dogs. Being a nursing student I know how to act during medical emergencies for your pet without hesitation to ensure his/her safety. I currently work as a pediatric nurse a few days a week. Depending on the bread I love taking dogs on long hikes during a time of day with a safe temperature. I know some good spots! (Unless they don't like cars ill just keep it in the neighborhood) As for cats I like to have at least an hour of active play time with them. I am a believer in scheduled feedings but if you are not let me know! I love going on daily walks and enjoy socializing with animals. Giving attention to your fur babies will be the best part of my day! I will walk your dogs at least twice a day and try to make your vacation as fun for them as it is for you!

Elaina helped us out with a one-time walk, stepping in to replace our usual “rover”. She was top-notch professional. We felt safe with having her interact with our baby as well as having her in our home. We will definitely call on her again as the need arises. Highly recommend Elaina to anyone who wants a pro!
