About: I've taken care of dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was about 8 years old. That's 30 years experience with breeds ranging in size from as small as 10 pounds to as large as 150 pounds. The last three dogs I had were small, medium, and large. Bella was my little Shih Tzu. Schnicklefritz was my fierce little man; a German Shepherd/Beagle mix. Dodger, was my gentle giant; a Great Pyrenees mix who could smile. I have cared for pets in ages ranging from 1.5 months to providing 24 hour, around-the-clock care, comfort and medication needed at end of life stages. Animals have always been a big part of my life and I want to continue providing that care for others. I've not only cared for my own but also those of friends and family members. I've provided other services including senior care as I mentioned already, but also, walks, feeding, bathing, and playtime. I'd keep everyone up to date by text message and with photos. I'm at home all day so this leaves my schedule open to have plenty of time to visit with your fur babies! I'm also available for boarding or dog sitting at your home, since pets tend to be more comfortable with familiar surroundings. I live in a quiet, pet friendly neighborhood. My home is a ranch style house with a fenced in yard. There are two cats in the home who are accustomed to dogs. However, your dog(s) will stay with me in a separate part of the house where the cats are not permitted.

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats and horses since I was a child. I provide loving and specialized Care for all of your animals needs. From infancy to geriatric. I will make sure that your animal receives the care it deserves. I am a 54-year-old grandmother raising my grandchild. I'm a full-time painter and need exercise and stimulation outside of the house. Pet care fits perfectly into my life at the current time. I believe that each animal needs individual care and that no blanket care system is appropriate. Every animal is different and every animal has its own personality and set of needs. I am capable of giving medicine and changing dressings. I specialize in dogs with challenging behaviors such as dog aggression and excitability.

About: I am a big dog lover. I have had plenty of all different breeds and have loved them all. I live in an apartment and have green space and easy access to long walks. I am located in midtown in Omaha so the access to dog parks and the outdoors is right at my finger tips. I am a big lover and will spend plenty of time showing affection to your dog the love and care they deserve. I also have gone to dog obedience classes prior so I have a good understanding of how to control and not control dogs to the best of my ability and theirs. Because I am at school for the year and my dogs are at my home with my family I will give my all to treat your dogs how I treat my own. I work part time currently so I have a ton of time to take care of your pup. House sitting, walks, check ins, you name it! I care with everything I can. I treat the dog as if it is my own and care unconditionally for the sweet little pup! :)

About: My family has always had dogs and cats. From shih tzu to pitties to huskies to corgis to bulldogs, I've trained and handled a lot of pups! Additionally I've volunteered walking dogs and fostered animals for the Friendship APL since I was 11. My neighbors have even had me take care of their cats for weeks at a time. I am a stay-at-home animal parent so I'm free throughout the day and week to take care of and spend time with your lovely pet(s)! My experience with various dogs and cats makes me versatile. A young pup that needs training? A working dog that loves their long walks? An old cat that rather just snuggle up? I can cover it all.

She is a fantastic and phenomenal individual!”
