About: I have been taking care of pets since I was about 8 years old. I have always had at least 2 dogs and a cat in the house growing up. Since I joined the military I also helped my friends and coworkers with their pets when they were away. I have a flexible schedule, I work full-time but can work from home most days. I am able to care for pets easily throughout the day. I currently have one dog, bernedoodle, he is the most spoiled pup there is. We have gone through many obedience classes together so I have knowledge and experience on how to properly walk and care for a dog. I love any opportunity I have to meet and care for any new animals. I love going on walks and playing with dogs and cats to keep them entertained! I am currently working at a flexible job, so I can be readily available to attend to your pet's needs and look after your fur baby for the majority of the day! I treat your home and your dog like I would my own! I make sure they have plenty of water, have been fed, time to potty, and plenty of play time as well! They won't be bored with me!
“Gwen was great with my senior, disabled dog. She was very professional, communicative, and most importantly, caring. I will book with her again and definitely recommend her to others!”
About: I have been pet sitting for almost a decade. Growing up we had a wide range of pets! From dogs and cats to reptiles and furry critters! I currently work at a vet clinic here in town and have experience in administering anything from daily vitamins and meds to giving insulin. I have dog sat mothers with puppies still nursing along with senior friends! I’m currently working part-time, so I have lots of time to hangout with your furry friends! I work shifts that range from 4-6 hours a day, and only work one weekend out of the month so I have lots of availability! I currently have an auggie (corgi/aussie) who is super friendly, but I will have other arrangements for him while I am caring for your pets!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs/cats my entire life; I love all animals. I’ll treat your animals as if they were my own - you can count on that! Full-time Rover so your pets ARE my schedule. I can pop-in and/or walk your pets any day, any time. This is a passion for me and your pets will benefit. I have a house with one Golden Retriever named Echo; he’s a big teddy bear.

I am avaliable nearly every day and will be more than happy to take care of your furry family member. The only exceptions are on holidays. There is nothing I love more than playing or cuddling with animals. I have plenty of experience calming my own and other peoples' pets during stressful situations, such as during fireworks. Just let me know what your pet likes and I am willing to provide. I am currently working part-time, so I can care for your pets anytime outside of my normal work hours. I only work for about 3 hours per day so that leaves plenty of time for them. My number one priority is making sure that your pets will feel safe and happy. I am always willing to keep their favorite items at the ready for whenever they may need it.

About: I've had a passion for dogs since childhood, and I turned that passion into expertise by working at the Kearney area animal shelter for three years. This experience deepened my knowledge of various breeds while I pursued my goal of becoming a dog obedience instructor. I hold two certifications in dog training—one from Penn Foster and another from Petsmart, where I am proud to serve as a trainer. I ensure that your dog receives not only physical exercise but also essential mental stimulation, making our walks both effective and enjoyable. I currently work full time at Petsmart as a trainer, but caring for dogs is truly my passion and always my top priority. While my schedule mostly has me working evenings from 1 to 9, it allows me the precious time in the mornings, from 9 to 12:30, to walk dogs and provide loving home visits. I'm dedicated to ensuring that every dog I care for feels loved and valued. I have two friendly dogs, which means I’ll be actively socializing with them while ensuring they get the ample exercise they need to stay happy and healthy.

“We have known Aly for most of her life, watching her grow up with her own family's furbabies and interactions with several other friend's furbabies, including ours. She has helped take care of ours in her own home as well as coming to stay at our home. She knows how to find what the pups like most for play time or snuggle time.
