Administered medication for Rosie as needed. Pearl must have really liked Kelsey as Pearl gave her a gift of a dead rodent on the front porch. 🫢 Hahaha! Our pets and home were well cared for by Kelsey.

About: I'm very genuine with pets, extra caring and careful especially with my seniors. I'm patient and I love teaching my pets tricks. Love making them feel safe and cared for. Hello I work full time and I'm also a full time college student. I'm available on the weekdays after 4 most of the time and on The Weeknd's whenever sometimes I work on saturdays and I get off at 12 pm. I'm very caring with my pets. I have a Frenchie so I know what it's like to be extra careful dealing with a dog that could easily get paralyzed from the legs. I have inclined stairs on my couches. and I also have a fenced yard with extra fencing around it in case of holes. I have plenty of toys to keep your fur animals safe

Alex is awesome with our two dogs and they can definitely be a handful at times. She is very responsive and sends pictures the entire time we’re away. The boys love her and we will continue to use her in the future.

We chose Hannah to house sit with our one-year-old Chihuahua-mix pup, Lilly. Lilly is always nervous and barky with new people. Hannah was so calm and patient with Lilly, and now they’re best friends. Hannah gave us updates every day, along with pictures; and followed instructions to a T. She never hesitated to text a question about anything. I liked that.. It was such a relief to go away and know that Lilly was being cared for by such a gentle, calming individual. Pets like that. We will definitely use Hannah again!

About: I have experience in playing fetch, training, playing games, feeding, watering, snuggles & cuddles, and have an eye for safety and correct guidance to keep your baby safe.💕 I’m available in mid mornings to take them to the bathroom/feed/ water. Afternoon/evenings after 2 pm. I’m looking so forward to hearing from you and your Paws 🐾 I would first and foremost greet them in a happy way to start building a loving & trusting relationship with them. Take them outside to use the bathroom and probably sit outside with them (weather permitting). I would read the instructions if any, make sure they have had all meds/food/water. Play fetch or games if needed. Then if your baby likes tv we will watch “Paw Patrol” while brushing their hair and just chill for a bit and get to know each other.

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’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: 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 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’ve taken care of dogs for many years, friends and family have always trusted me to take great care of their fur babies while they’re away! I’ve cared for puppies, seniors, and blind dogs before and I’d be very happy to care for them now! I currently work part-time about 3-4 times a week so I’ll be able to spend plenty of time with your dog each day! I’m usually off Monday,Friday, Saturday and Sunday, send me a message and I’ll be sure to get right back to you about my schedule! I have a fenced yard and plenty of toys for your dogs to play with outback, along with a large dog crate in one room and a spacious playpen in the living room for your dogs to stay in. If you would like your fur baby to spend the night in a more spacious area, I have gates I can easily set up so they can freely roam around the living room! In your own home I’ll care for your fur babies following your wants and needs!

About: I have been pet sitting for my parents and family friends since as early as early as I can remember. Anything you need I promise I have most likely helped out with it! I am currently a Nursing Student at Texas Tech Health Science Center here so I am a pretty busy person but when I’m not at school I have a pretty open schedule. I treat my pets like they are my family I think they deserve the same love, care, safety, and attention you would give anyone else in your life.

About: i’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have always had a soft spot for them. I have experience with sitting pets and even have some background interning at multiple vets so I understand the love and care pets need. I am reliable and compassionate about the care your pets are given because I would want the absolute best care for my fur babies! Currently working part time, I am available early mornings from 7–11 AM and I am also available later in the evenings after 7 PM. After the first week of May, my schedule is wide open! I will be able to do full days during the week and some weekends. I will not be able to provide services that involve bringing your animal to my home, mainly because we live on 160 acres with no backyard fencing. I also have two small dogs in the house and a cat who do not get along very well with other animals.
