1. Michelle T.
“My dad was very pleased with the in-home visits Michelle made for his two cats which allowed him to take a family trip. I would definitely recommend her! We hope we can use her again next time!”
2. Tricia H.
“Tricia did drop in visits for us while we were enjoying time with our family. Tricia was always on time, played fetch with Frannie in the backyard, played with her inside also due to the heat. She made sure Frannie had fresh water and gave her lots of cuddles. Tricia also sent pictures of Frannie during her visit and asked questions when needed. I will definitely have Tricia help with Frannie in the future and I highly recommend her. We also have 2 cats but they are shy but if they would have needed anything I know Tricia would have taken care of them also!!”

5. Kirsha H.
“Kirsha is the BEST sitter I’ve ever seen. She has reasonable prices, very flexible with her schedule, and has a passion for what she does. Often times she has been called the day of and she’s made time to help her clients! Not only is she good at what she’s doing, but she has also been doing this for the past 6 YEARS…I would refer her to anybody and I bet that many people would agree.”
6. Rachel P.
“Rachel provided pet sitting services for our two cats. Rachel is a pet lover and owns two dogs of her own. She is timely, trustworthy, dependable, and offers affordable pet sitting services! She provided appropriate updates, pictures and stayed in communication with me which is comforting. She was sensitive to the different needs of each cat and cuddled/petted the cats, which they need and enjoy! Rachel was responsive to other requests such as watering outdoor/indoor plants, retrieving trash cans, cleaning cat litter box and the house was tidy upon our return. I was very comfortable having Rachel in my home. I will be utilizing her services again in the future and highly recommend her.”
7. Nicole S.
“I had Nicole dog-sit for me, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Nicole is incredibly attentive and caring, ensuring that my dog was well-fed, exercised, and given plenty of love and attention. She provided regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Nicole as a dog sitter to anyone looking for someone reliable and compassionate to take care of their pets.”

19. Bri R.
About: I have taken care of cows, sheep, and a dog or two on my family’s farm. I moved to Fremont, NE for my job but miss getting a lot of time outside and working with animals. I can’t have a dog at my apartment and am looking for some emotional and physical exercise with man’s (and woman’s) best friend. I’m willing to walk in rain, snow or shine. I am willing to learn and am capable of following detailed instructions. This profile requires a certain amount of words but I hope you would be willing to give me a chance for my actions to speak louder than my words. I currently work a 8-4 job with some travel. For the summer I am unavailable on the weekends but will be back with a more available schedule this fall. I want the pet to feel comfortable around me. The more information you can share about your environment/the pet’s regular environment the better for me.
