About: I have 3 german shepherd that I have taken care of since they were puppies. I love the way dogs can interact with people and the love they are willing to offer. I am able to do CPR on dogs if ever needed. I am compassionate and caring because thats all they need. Each dog may be different but they all share a common feeling which is wanting love and care. I connect with them fast. If there are any special needs as far as the walks or when coming to check on them let me know. It will be my great pleasure to play and walk your dog because it's what I love doing. As my heading describes, they are the only ones that can see your true heart.

Becky was great and reliable. Had to contact her last minute, but she was able to take care of my babies and take them out for a walk. Will use her again when needed.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 14. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I worked for a short time at a doggy daycare attending to dogs of every shape and size. I personally have 5 dogs that I love dearly and would motivate me to treat customer dogs the same. I'm currently working part time So I can work with customers on what schedule would best fit their animals needs. I'll make sure I understand the animals routine before beginning services. I will happily accommodate whatever the customer wants with their fur baby in their home. I will follow whatever routine is necessary. Drop in visits will be discussed with clients thoroughly as to provide the best care possible.

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was a kid. I’ve been dog sitting for the last five years. I currently have two floof balls of my own who LOVE other animals. I live in the country and have a big fenced back yard, so if your pups stay here, they’ll have lots of walks and playtime. I can’t wait to give love to your furry best buddy! I work full time from home, and use every break I have to take my dogs on a walk or play with them outside. I’m a super active individual so walking dogs just makes outdoor cardio that much more fun. I have a fenced in yard, am really aware of my dog’s moods because I’m here all the time, and have lots of space for the dogs to spread out if they need some alone time.

About: I've had pets throughout my entire life - both cats and dogs. I currently have 5 dogs of my own. Recently, I led a dog rescue in South Korea and volunteered almost all of time for two years to saving dogs and cats there. I have lots of experience with all types of dogs, including those that might need special handling due to fearfulness or anxiety. I also have lots of experience with puppies, kittens, and senior animals. I am able to administer medication if needed and will provide love and care as if they were my own. I currently work from home part-time so I am pretty flexible with scheduling. I am available throughout the day and weekends for caring for your pets! I will make your pets a priority in my day. For house sitting and drop-in visits, I would love to meet your pets in their home and familiarize myself with their routine and any special needs they might have. Many pets have specific behaviors or preferences, and I will ensure that I can meet those. I will work to build trust with your pet and ensure I take care of them the way that you would so you can feel that your pets are in trusted, loving hands. For dog-walking, I will ensure I follow all instructions from you, the owner, to ensure we have a fun, safe walk!

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my personalized approach, attention to detail, and deep passion for animal care. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine, ensuring that each pet receives consistent, loving attention. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize their well-being with structured care and flexibility to meet their unique needs. I create a pet-friendly space with cozy bedding, toys, and designated play areas. • Routine & Structure: I maintain the pet’s regular feeding, potty, and exercise schedule to minimize stress. • Supervision & Socialization: I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and, if appropriate, social interaction with other pets. • Health & Hygiene: Fresh water, clean spaces, and any necessary grooming or medication administration are priorities.

About: Growing up on a farm, I learned how to respect and love many animals. By the time I was eight years old, my family and I became the first Silver Lab breeders in Nebraska. That's when I learned how to train, exercise, and look after dogs. Throughout the years, we added cats, horses, cattle, and a donkey; which, only enhanced my expirence. I have worked with groomers, trainers, behavorlist, and vets first-hand throughout my highschool and college days. While I studied animal science at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, I also was on there equestrian team. I recently got married to my husband who is in the army, and found myself with alot of spare time. I would love to spend it with walking dogs and getting to know our new neighbors! The environment your pets will be introduced to includes dog parks, hiking trails, neighbor hoods that include your own, and State Recreational Centers. To travel, I have a 2020 Ford EcoSport that is smoke free, and includes animal seatbelts to keep your fur-family safe. All outside environments will include access to fresh water, some basic training sessions (sit, stay, fetch, ect.), and a smoke free expirenced handler. Agressive dogs are welcomed here!! I have plenty of experience working with high anxiety dogs and protective dogs, and would love to help!
